Some important facts about becoming a court reporter:

* Court reporting is projected to be one of the fastest growing professions in the next 10 years, with experts predicting growth of 25% in that period.
* The explosion of civil and criminal lawsuits in recent years has created a huge demand for court reporters in the justice system.
* Also, legislation has been passed that requires all TV programming to be closed-captioned for the hearing-impaired, creating further demand for trained transcriptionists.
* There are two different types of transcription machines that are used in court reporting, the standard stenotype machine as well as an audio transcription machine that uses a mask to mute the voice of the transcriptionist.
* Court reporting can offer full time hours or flexible scheduling for freelancers. A freelance court reporter can work evenings, weekends, or part time from home.
* This is a profession that can offer you a lot of flexibility in terms of your work environment. You could work anywhere from an attorney's office to the courtroom, to a corporate boardroom.
* Options include everything from transcribing business meetings to assisting the hearing impaired with Communication Access Real-Time Translation (CART) technology, which allows people who are hearing impaired effectively communicate in their everyday lives with the help of a certified transcriber.

Training to become a certified court reporter can take as little as six months. Most training companies also offer financial assistance and job training.

Whether you view it as a full time career, or a part time skill that allows you supplement your income on your own schedule, becoming a certified court reporter offers you a wealth of ways to make a difference in the world you live in, help other people and make a great living in the process.
