Get Your Hands on Your Future
You’ve seen court reporters in action. In television, movies, and the highly publicized cases that dominate the news, the court reporter is always present, recording history as it happens. Their job is to use the latest technology to create a verbatim account of the spoken word. It even goes beyond the courtroom, with reporters documenting what’s said in conventions, classrooms, hearings, depositions, speeches, cyberspace, television studios and Congress, to name only a few.

Take a quiz: Can you read this?
Do you know the difference between what a court reporter hears and what a court reporter writes? Try reading this transcript of stenotype notes.

Need a little help? Read across, one word to a line. Words are written just the way they sound. Silent letters are dropped. For example, cat is written KAT; walk is written WAUK. Trained court reporters write as fast as people speak. The skill comes in writing one word to a keystroke and sometimes writing phrases of two or more words in a single stroke. Computer systems then translate these strokes into standard, written English.

This is stenography, and no one teaches this unique and lucrative skill better than Bryan College.
