Court reporting offers a variety of career paths that match personal interests and desired lifestyles.
Official Court Reporter
Official court reporters are employed by local, state, or federal court systems. They are responsible for capturing all the action in court and producing transcripts of the trial to all who request it. Official court reporters are paid a base salary to write in court and earn additional pay for preparing and selling transcripts. Oftentimes yearly transcript fees exceed the base salary. For example, Bryan graduate Patricia Cuneo recently earned $83,905.18 in transcript fees in addition to her base pay of $54,930.34. Her total pay was $138,835.52. (Source: L.A.

Deposition Reporter
If you are the type of person who savors independence and flexibility, deposition reporting may be perfect for you. Deposition reporters have the same responsibilities as reporters working in court, but they usually work in lawyers' offices. Lawyers conduct depositions to discover what witnesses know and what they might testify to in court. Deposition reporters provide attorneys with transcripts of these proceedings.Realtime Captioning
Captioning reporters do closed captioning of television so that programs may reach the hearing impaired. Congress has recently mandated that most programs provide this crucial service. Realtime captioners are therefore very busy these days working for television and cable stations, capturing news, emergency broadcasts, sports events and other programs. Imagine earning a living captioning shows such as 3rd Rock, Ally McBeal, the NBA finals, and more. A career in captioning allows reporters to work outside the judicial system, providing valuable services to the hearing-impaired community.
