Helping Court Reporters improve Their Scoping Skills
|


If you are a recently graduated court reporter and you feel you need additional training on
punctuation, formatting and you'd like to learn your CAT program more efficiently, then
Scoping Made Affordable (SMA) may be exactly what you need.
SMA has been training scopists for over a year and the graduates are doing a great job.
What are some of the ways that SMA can help you?
1. How to transfer files.
2. Learn and practice with punctuation according to the Lillian Morson's English Guide for
Court Reporters and other reference tools.
3. Learning the difference between colloquy and bylines and how to transition between the
two.
4. How to use the editing features of your CAT program in a concise, efficient manner.
SMA is the only entity that has actually put four of the major CAT programs side by side
with their editing features to learn by and for comparison.
Check out the CR Refresher Course which is located here to see if this training program will
help you become a court reporter who is proud to turn in your work.
For information about the entire scoping training program, follow the links on the left.

Why are People Coming to Scoping Made Affordable for their Scoping Training?

There is no doubt that the owner of Scoping Made Affordable, Devon Roberts, has only been in
the scoping/court reporting field for a few years and that some people prefer someone with more
experience in the field.
So what is it about Devon that makes people choose this training?
It's the teaching background. It's just that plain and simple. In my opinion, the best teachers are the
ones who take the time to listen to you and yet are willing to wait patiently for the "magic" or "ah-ha"
moment to occur. That is one of Devon's strengths. She encourages you to do the work rather
than showing you how to do it.
And because there are so many aspects to scoping, she also has the ability to tweak a learning tool
to better fit your needs whenever you get stuck.
And when one goes to add learning a CAT program into this dynamic, well it's enough to boggle
one's mind and want to run away from it all. I believe that I have created a learning program and
approach that helps anyone in the scoping process master their CAT program so that they are
utilizing the CAT program to its maximum capability. Utilizing shortcuts will only increase your
productivity and efficiency.
If you're afraid of how you may look to others because you don't know as much as you'd like to in
your court reporting career, SMA has seen all levels of knowledge so you can throw your fears out
the window.
Learning to scope is not a task that is mastered overnight. So give yourself a break and jump on
board to get your career moving steadily forward at a pace that is comfortable for you. I'm
confident you will be just as pleased as the graduates have been.
