@hauntie: Replying to @Katy health benefits, paid time off, paid sick time, paid holidays. The list of benefits goes on and on. Becoming an official was one of the best decisions I’ve made. #stenographer #stenonerd #officialcourtreporter #courtreporter #stenography
any ideas about finding insurance as a new freelancer?

As a Steno hobbyist, my first captioning job will most likely be captioning me and my videos.

I want to be an official so bad, but I have young kids and being able to be home with them is soooo nice 😭😭 I might sub in court it something.

Absolutely not…you have to remember that officials make extra $$ for all transcripts, plus all the value of our free benefits, paid sick & vacation days!!!

I like the stability, benefits, and PTO of being an official reporter. Unfortunately, in my area our transcript requests aren’t as frequent and rarely expedited, and the attorneys and even some judges treat us as double dippers for getting extra money through transcripts. There are pros and cons to every job I guess.

What steno machine do you use in court? Is it the same as what you used before?

More than $85,000 a year too. 👏
(Is what Duck AI said, but I could swear you said it can go into six figures for those that like to collect hours.)

I’m now in Eclipse and the courthouse uses CaseCat. And I’m so excited to be an official again

@MissSteno , May I ask how do you handle transcripts while being an official? Isn't the common courthouse like 8-5, M-F. I beg you, I need to know how you survive doing this (bc I am thinking of doing freelance first, but...).
