Stenographic reporting is the best method for making a verbatim record. If you are reading this, you already know that. Staying on top of speakers in excess of 225 words per minute and tuning out distracting noises, we are some pretty amazing creatures. We give multitasking a new definition. We know this already. Let's prove it.
Let's prove it to the attorneys who are giving electronic reporting attention that it does not deserve. Let's prove it to ourselves and strut our stuff. Let's regain our stellar reputation as the gold standard that we are. Stand proud to do what you do every day. It is a beautiful skill and an amazing career. HRETS TKO TH
So how do we prove it? For starters, if you are not a realtimer already, start cleaning up your dictionary, conflicts and writing. Don't let your jobs be the only practice you get. Practice to timed speeds and sharpen your skill. That is part of proving it to yourself. When you do a timed dictation at a high sustained speed and you nail it, you can only be proud. Prove it to your clients by preparing your transcript and getting them out within five days instead of 10. In this day and age of instant gratification, 10 days seems like a lifetime. Work smart, not hard.
By writing clean, you can get your transcripts out much faster and look like the rock star that you are. By getting your transcripts out faster, you:
- get a happy client that wants to use you more because of your fast turnaround time
without extra charges
- you have less work on your desk at any given point
- you have less stress because you do not have work hanging over your head
You have everything to gain! Prove to the world and yourself that you are worth your weight in gold!
