Scopist & Proofreader`s Corner

Posted on 1/14/2008

Updated 1/16/08
I get lots of inquiries from scopists around the country about working with me and my court reporters.  It's clear from my full email inbox, however,  that I'm not very efficient at responding to each and every one that I would like to.  It's getting harder and harder to give everyone the time and attention they deserve.  So I've decided to add this page -- Scopists' Corner -- to the site in an effort to be able to post people's information and share these scopists with the rest of steno-dom.

Obviously, I haven't worked with them all so I'm not vouching here.  Just sharing...

I am a proofreader in the San Diego, California area. Although I am in San Diego and because of our wonderful technology that we have today, it allows me to work with any court reporter in any part of the country. Currently, I have court reporters that I proofread for in San Diego, Los Angeles, South Carolina, New York and Boston. I love proofreading.  I have been a proofreader for several years. I am also a legal assistant in a prestigious law firm in San Diego. Court reporters send me their depositions via e-mail, I proofread the depositions and then send the corrections back to the court reporter via an errata sheet.

Heidi Dillon
My name is Heidi Dillon and I am seeking employment as a scopist and/or proofreader. Although I have been scoping and proofreading for the past three months, I have 19 years experience in the legal field. I was a paralegal for 19 years and enjoyed it. Recently, however, I completed the Phoenix Theory with the Assistance of a mentor and have discovered the joy of working from home for court reporters. I’m a fast learner, hard worker and have a great turn around time. I am attentive to detail and I listen to audio line by line. It’s important to me to produce a great product and have my work in on time. I use Case Catalyst along with Express Scribe. I also have high-speed Internet and can easily be reached by telephone for a rush job. If I sound like the kind of person you need, please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you. Reply email: hhjdillon (at) yahoo (dot) com

I have been a scopist for 10 years, and would love to make your life easier as a reporter.  My software is Digital Cat, and I worked directly with the designer of the software as his scopist until he temporarily moved to Florida.  In his office, I also worked as his editing manager with gaining experience getting his depositions copy ready that was invaluable.  I've had two years in court reporting school, and love working from home.  I listen to all transcripts unless instructed not to, proof for accuracy, and I'm willing to do it your way. Expedites are not a problem! Contact me at rebaburgess (at) verizon (dot) net as I check my email several times daily.

I can’t tell you how thrilled I was to find your site. It’s amazing not just your business & excellent website but that you are right here in Folsom! I’m beside myself.

My question is how much are proofreaders charging these days? When I was in school I charged the CSRs something like 25 cents a page. When I was a scopist I think my friends paid me by the hour so I don’t have any idea what’s generally accepted these days so any info would be really useful.

My name is Ashle Finch, and I am a well-trained scopist in the DFW area of Texas looking to add to my workload. I already have two part-time reporters and am looking to add either a full-time or additional part-time reporters. I have had extensive hands-on training from an experienced scopist. I have excellent references that are available upon request.

Prior to scoping, I worked for seven years as an escrow officer for fee attorney offices and title companies. Prior to that, I worked as a legal clerk for a family law attorney. This experience lends me a great attention to detail. I enjoy the elements of research, grammar, spelling, and proper punctuation that are a part of scoping, and will put my enthusiasm for this line of work into action for you!

I have the latest version of Case Catalyst and have audio software that allows me to accept ANY audio file. I prefer to always scope with audio. I have very reasonable rates and turn-around times. I will be someone you can depend on!

My rates and turn around times are VERY reasonable and I will forward them immediately upon request.

Hi, my name is Elizabeth Sara Wylie. I work for a busy family court reporter in Los Angeles Superior Court. I am interested in developing a good working relationship with just one other reporter who is on StenoCAT. I have an 18-year employment history as a Respiratory Therapist at Upstate Hospital in Syracuse, New York so medical terminology is not a problem. I can also read notes.

If you are interested I encourage you to contact Amy at stenoamy@yahoo.com and discuss my strengths and weaknesses reporter-to-reporter. Amy is busy and demanding and I am confident that she will give you the honest feedback you need to decide whether or not to trust me with a document that will ultimately bear your name. Thank you for your time.

I have completed training as a scopist through Scoping Careers International. I use Eclipse with audio sync, and also have Express Scribe.
I worked in the legal department for 16 years as a secretary and legal assistant. I`ve done transcription of briefs and reports, editing, and proof for clarity. I`m familiar with cases in civil, criminal and arbitration.
My background not only includes the legal arena but also knowledge in English grammar, medical terminology, and pharmacology. I have access to a number of web sites as well as reference books.

I`m ready to scope for you and to discuss details of working arrangements as well as personal preferences with regard to transcript preparation. My email address is Theresa.Seman@gmail.com.
