• Learning about court reporting can be quite easy.
  Just like any other course, you can learn the
  ropes through years of education and training.
  Practicing court reporting also seems to be easy
  on the surface. People only see the national
  court reporters quietly sitting in one corner of
  the courtroom while doing all the typing works.
  They seem to be just a simple clerk or secretary
  whose work only entails typing what people say
  during a deposition or legal proceeding.
• The fact is, court reporting is not as easy as it
  may seem. And it is definitely not just an
  ordinary clerical work anyone can do. In order to
  become a certified court reporter, one needs to
  undergo intensive training first. Through a
  series of serious training, the court reporters
  are able to acquire and hone their skills not
  only in typing, listening, writing, and
  communicating, but also in organizing.

Practice, practice, and practice If you want to
improve your skills, the best thing you should do
is practice constantly. Practicing your craft
will not only help improve your skills but it
will also make you better at what you do. The
more you practice your organizational skill, the
more you will be good at it.   Edit your own
work Editing can be really confusing and
time-consuming especially if it is your work.
However, in order to produce better quality
transcripts, you need to be excellent at editing.
Not only that, by reading your work over and over
again and doing necessary editing, but you will
also be able to learn more and become a better
court reporter. This way you can learn from your
own mistakes and see which area you still need to
improve. This can also help you avoid doing the
same mistakes in the future. Furthermore, editing
allows you to identify and study confusing words,
and to learn how to use them more appropriately.

Moreover, the more you edit, the more the work
becomes easier for you. The easier editing gets,
the quicker you can complete your editing tasks
in the future. Thus, helping you get more
organized. Proofread your own work Before
presenting and delivering the final transcript,
make sure to proofread your work first. Read the
transcript from various media to make it easier
to spot possible errors. Using different media
will provide you a different perspective and
allow easier proofreading

Double-check final output Before presenting your
final output make sure to double-check everything
from start to finish first and see if everything
is smooth and error-free. It is also best not to
proofread and double-check your final output in
one sitting. Rather, do the double-checking
different time. For instance, do the editing
today, proofreading tomorrow, and then
double-checking a day after tomorrow. This will
give you better results.   And lastly, you need
to keep your focus. Focusing is an essential part
of organizing. If you are not focused enough, you
cannot be able to organize your record and report
well. To keep your focus, you should give your
full attention to what you are doing and carry
out your tasks (e.g. editing and proofreading) in
an area with limited or no distractions.
