Scoping: Legitimate and Lucrative [2008-06-06]
Hello, All.
Someone sent me this link, and I wanted to give you some information -- straight from the horse so to speak -- to assure you that this is definitely *not* a scam, and *is* very real.
I have been involved in the scoping field for 25+ years, and have been a scoping training consultant for a little more than 20 of those years.
Scoping is a marvelous at-home career, and I say that as someone who started out as an MT, and then began applying my medical skills in the areas of medical malpractice and environmental impact litigation, right from home and working in the court reporting field.
Scoping is still something of an underground occupation in that many people never heard of it. But court reporters *have* heard of it, and they're the ones you'll be working for.
We started hearing, when I first started in this field 25 years ago, that computers would take over and we humans would be out of a job. Now I ask you: Have you ever met a computer program that can think like a person? I The human element is still very much needed in this field, and people earn from $15 to $30 an hour editing for court reporters.
I offer a free video webcast to people exploring scoping, to let you see what scoping is all about (including a demonstration of the specialized software we use in this field), and how my rapid e-learning course for scoping works. It's all done in PowerPoint/Flash modules, with backup written materials in .pdf files.
Feel free to e-mail me and request a link for the informative scoping webcast:

Is this like scoping? I saw an ad on MT jobs for career in scoping, SM [2006-07-07]
it was for a course I believe. I am not sure what scoping is, but it sounds like this.
scoping [2006-07-07]
no, I transcribe only. I do not scope. I download work from FTP sites usually and do my work digitally using special software and either Word or Wordperfect. Most of my work is form of depositions but I have done lots of other general transcription work for many types of businesses, individuals.

I don't think so [2008-05-28]
I know someone who worked for court reporters as a scopist transcribing the notes taken by them in court BEFORE it became computerized. Once it became computerized, it seems the court reporters would just run their notes through a machine and would edit it themselves. She lost her job and the only way she could continue in the business was to become a court reporter herself. Sure, a school can teach you how to do it, but there is no guarantee you will ever find a job doing it. If you are interested, you need to search messageboards relating to court reporting, job boards, etc., to see if there are actually jobs out there or if court reporters no longer hire scopists due to computerization.

Legal Transcription Job Search? [2007-09-25]
I have been a medical Transcriptionist for 12 years and I am currently taking course towards my Bachelors in paralegal studies. I am interested indoing legal transcription or work in legal field to help me learn more towads my new career. Where do you search for jobs or best to send out a flyer to local legal offices about your services you offer?
Need info/help about possible job opportunity. [2007-07-03]
Legal transcription. Scoping and proofing. Any ideas what this would entail and what pay scale might be?
MT & court reporting are WORLDS apart [2007-05-23]
Having studied both court reporting and medical transcription, I can tell you that they are worlds apart. Court reporters learn 'machine shorthand' and by using this and their steno machine, they can 'type' 200+ wpm. They type in syllables and entire phrases or sentences, not by single characters as we do in MT.
Actually, people who edit for MT and court reporting actually have more closely related jobs. Check out www.scopists.com Some court reporters type in Real-Time, and the people who scope for them just basically clean up their work, fix missed strokes, etc. There are also people who 'translate'/type the machine shorthand, which is much more detailed and takes a lot more studying/schooling. Another site to check out is StenEd for resources and reference materials.
You could, of course, always apply to be a legal secretary and type in a law office. :D
HTH!
legal transcription [2007-05-01]
Does anybody know where I can begin to search for legal transcription jobs? TIA
I obtained my AAS in Legal Transcription, but [2006-09-07]
As I only found jobs that were offering little pay and no benefits, so I never worked in this field. I ended up going back for medical transcription and have been doing that for the past 9 years. I am now going back for my RN degree. Anyways, I went to my local community college for two years if you are looking for a place to find education in this field. Good luck to you.
