ABOUT THE PROFESSION...The creation of accurate transcripts is of vital importance in legal proceedings, and that is the jurisdiction of the court reporter. A court reporter is just what the name implies: a reporter that makes a record of everything that was said and done at a specific point in time. Not only does a court reporter create a record of the spoken word - using either stenographic or voice-writing technology - but it's also the responsibility of the court reporter to check the transcript for accuracy.While the amount of court reporting jobs are finite (with certified court reporters having a distinct advantage in finding employment), court reporters can find ample job opportunities transcribing live events for the hearing-impaired (closed captioning for television, university lectures, etc.) as well as transcribing live internet streams. As of 2004, the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows the average annual earnings of court reporters to be approximately $42,000, with the highest paid 10% earning in excess of $80,000. As a court reporter, you will be exposed to an endless supply of fascinating stories, all of which you will be relied upon to relate in an impartial manner.
