Love this! I agree, it is an awesome career. I became a digital reporter and transcriptionist after 18 years in the corporate world, and never looked back! It is a great profession that pays well, is fulfilling, has growth opportunities, offers flexibility and independence, and always has something of interest to look forward to.
I did this job back when it was 2 tape recorders a sound mixer and microphones. We later moved to digital recording equipment. I stopped doing it to pursue more stable work. But I do miss the work I'm looking to get back into it now if possible. I did this for over 10 yrs before I left the industry.
We can work on our PC or have to buy a laptop when working at home? How much remote work now would be available in 2022? Have to take a certification or no? What if you need more time to finish course? I am currently a legal transcriptionist, previously a legal secretary since 1979.
Laptop. Whether you can work remotely depends on the company you work for and the needs of your state. Most states require you to have a notary license, so you can administer the oath to the deponent/witness. The notary process depends on your states. Some states only require an application and orientation while other states require an exam and application. Some states don't require you to be a notary. The course is self-paced, taking an average of two to eight weeks depending on how many hours you devote to it per week.
Supporting all digital and future digital reporters! Don’t let anyone discourage you. I simply love this line of work!

Thank you! Looking to switch from freelance book editor (on staff when lived in NYC/NJ) to digital court reporter.

Is this course still available in December 22? Is it available outside of Florida?
Is this only in Florida?
