Tips for Speedbuilding
- Get in the zone. Is
your mind wandering during practice or test taking? Concentration is a huge
part of this job, and it's difficult to stop thoughts from coming to your
mind at the wrong time. To start off, during your practice time, push any
thoughts or distractions out of your mind and focus on the material you
are listening to. Practice one-minute takes at first, increasing to
two-minute takes and so forth, until you can accomplish the complete
five-minute take without distractions. You'll be passing tests before you
know it!

Certification
The
goal of all certification programs is to raise the level of competence and
professionalism of the practitioners in the industry. For the individual
practitioner, certification provides a specific road map of the knowledge and
skills needed in order to meet minimum standards of qualification, as well as
an independent validation of competence that reporters can use to distinguish
themselves in the market. There is clearly a public stake in the competent
performance of reporters, and in some cases life and liberty rely on the
record. |
Resume Preparation
If you’re looking for a position in your new career of court
reporting, you will need a good resume. Carol Matchett of Clayton Reporting writes a great article about resume
preparation and tips to follow.
The article is called “Getting Your Foot in the Door.” This article is posted on NCRA’s
website in the student section. Just click here. |
Communication Access Realtime Translation (CART)
Communication Access Realtime Translation (CART) is a
word-for-word speech to text translation for people who need assistance with communication
access. It is provided by a court
reporter who has been specifically trained to provide this service. CART can benefit people who are late-deafened,
oral deaf, hard of hearing, or who have cochlear implants. Deaf individuals may also use CART in a
variety of situations.
