I had the opportunity to cross-train into the field at the end of my Air Force enlistment, but turned it down...(yes, that was a dumb thing to do...), but if anyone knows how to become certified for this type of job...I would like to know. Thank you!

Court reporters can command earnings which rival those of the attorneys whose speech they transcribe.

P.S. Are there any Voice Writers out there I can talk to? I read where it is possible this occupation may someday replace the court stenographer since the success rate of the latter is extremely low as far as graduating from the classes required.

Thank you Krissy, I do possess the spelling and grammar required, although I admit I don't use it here too often, considering...
I admit it does sound like a lot of work, and at my age I'm wondering if I want to invest the time required. (Which is why I also asked if there were any Voice Writers out there...lol.) Thanks again...so far, your answer gets the points!

You can go to a Court Reporting school. They are all over the place. In one of the answers I was reading it said that all you have to be able to do is type well. That is completely false. Yes, it is one aspect of the job, but that certainly isn't all of it. Your English skills, spelling and grammar, have to be excellent. That is what a large part of the job is. Good luck. It can be a very exciting field to be a part of. It does take a lot of hard work. The money can be good, but you definitely work for it. And as far as making more than the lawyers you transcribe for, I don't know about that.

There are certain schools that offer court stenographer training. I know in Dallas, there is a certain place that specializes specifically in court reporting, but I'm also guessing that some more career-oriented colleges might offer the training (among other types of training) as well.
