Court reporting: Alternative careers for trained court reporters
Court reporting training takes anywhere from between two to three years to complete. This training usually includes courses on language and terminology in addition to the basic skills training for transcription which includes the use of transcription tools and techniques- like shorthand writing, the stenograph and CAT (computer aided transcription). The expert use of these tools is a necessity to any court reporter whether they wish to work in the judicial system of not. Court reporting schools online or on-campus conduct comprehensive training for prospective reporters who can then opt to take a test for certification in order to improve their employment prospects (as most employers, whether from the judicial line of not, require these certifications as proof of competency). Certification testing usually requires a knowledge test be taken and a display of typing skills (225 to 250 or more works per minute). Initial certifications are awarded by the national associations the NVRA and NCRA (certification from either one depends upon the reporting / transcription techniques preferred by the reporter). Work for court reporters and trained transcribers/steno-typists outside of the judicial system is often referred to as captioning work.
Careers in Captioning & CART
Captioning is the process, through a variety of techniques to, to display the spoken word on screen or in a video, as text delivered in real time. Additional information and non-speech elements are also part of this process so that viewers may access this information. Captioning is also used to aid the hearing impaired understand what is being spoken; according to VisWiki; 'Captions' aim to describe all significant audio content - spoken dialogue and non-speech information such as the identity of speakers and, occasionally, their manner of speaking - along with music or sound effects using words or symbols'. Captioning is also called 'subtitles for the hard or hearing'. CART is the abbreviation used for the process of 'Communication Access Real-time Transcription' or 'Computer Aided Real-time Transcription'.
Captioning techniques are regularly taught at traditional court reporting campuses as well as in online court reporting training and court reporting courses that offer bachelor's and associate degrees in transcription.
