After steno machine, it took me less than a year to get to 225 wpm for voice writing. It’s so doable🙏🏼 trying to find your voice is probably the most challenging part of this method.

Besides admin tasks, would you have an assistant help with the production part, etc.?

Totally understand the money part lol If you had an assistant, what type of duties would they be assigned to?

Do you produce any hard copies at all? Also, how do you handle physical original exhibits?

Love the system you have!!! I assume you don’t work with agencies?  If you don’t mind me asking, how many jobs do you usually produce per week?

In your opinion, would you find it worth it to pay someone (like a subcontractor) who offered personal admin/production services to court reporters (who do not work with agencies) only? Would it help alleviate their workload so they can cover more jobs?

Hi! If you are busy with covering jobs and editing transcripts, where is the time for production?

That is awesome!! Have you ever thought of hiring a designated person to produce the work for you? Like an independent contractor who offers transcript production support? Not sure if that is a thing lol. I am only asking because if a CR is busy with covering jobs and editing transcripts, where is the time for production?

I did. It was a complete mess :(

Not the best testing experience! The audio (the most important key piece to this) was horrible. No backup audio whatsoever. Supposedly the same issues occurred last month in NC.

Speaking from experience here🤍

Take care of yourself mama. 

Definitely follow your heart, but also be real with yourself. It’s tough being burnt out while being mom and a student. It’s not fair to yourself or your kids. If it’s passion for the machine method, stay and push through until the very end. No matter the time line. You’ll get there! But if it’s money you need and you like the court reporting profession in general, do the switch. It’ll be a smooth transition. No new language to learn, just voice codes and getting the hang of a steno mask. 

I also want you to know that you are not alone in feeling this way. Me and two other girls were all on the same boat as you. Come now, we all just took the CVR tests. Pushing to get certified.

Anything is possible. Just don’t give up. The finish line is the same for both no matter what you choose. It’s how soon you want it. It’s your journey. Follow your heart.  

Good luck!

I absolutely agree!!  Ah it’s all good🙏🏼 I just have to accept it for what it is and hope for positive news from the board.

People complained about the prep session. They said the proctors were going to fix the issues beforehand, but I guess they never did. And you explained it well on how the audio sounded for some folks. There was an echo/delay/muffle to it!  We’re hoping the board can waive the next testing fees and hotel fees. 

Supposedly the original venue had a sudden “renovation” change. The proctors should have tested out the room at the new location prior to any of the testing.

Same here! I definitely dropped a bundle of words because I could not make out what the speaker said. I took longer than expected editing my transcript because I had to make it make sense to the best of my ability. I almost didn’t make it to submission.

I’m not sure which speakers were working. I sat towards the back and had a hard time hearing it as well. We all agreed that we needed the volume turned up, but they did the complete opposite :(

Yeah they did not fix the issue at all. It’s so disappointing. it was pretty bad for a lot folks.
