great to have this site... [2006-07-06]
for all of us who do this type of work, it's nice to know this is available.
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 [2007-01-19]
Yeah, that would be great. But I think it's pretty difficult to find legal work from home unless it's contract work only. If you don't need benefits and can exist on contract work only legal is great to do from home. If you don't need to work from home you can make great money working as a law office word processing operator. I'm training for MT just because I want to work from home and have some benefits.
I actually ended up leaving because [2006-11-05]
I couldn't respect that manager enough to work there anymore. It's a shame, because the rest of the job was a great fit for me, I liked the other people, and the doctors were very appreciative of my work. Even the good hourly pay and benefits didn't make up for her deficits. Their loss.
