What is Scoping?

Scoping

Also known as editing for court reporters – is an in-demand career in the established profession of court reporting. As a scopist, you get to apply your knack for words and language to help court reporters create a sparkling finished product – an error-free transcript. You save them valuable time and help them earn more money – while you earn money, too.

Get Paid

Scopists get paid to edit court and deposition transcripts. These transcripts are first generated by court reporters, also called court stenographers, who use CAT (Computer-Aided Transcription) software to translate the steno language into English.

Read Steno

A scopist needs to be able to read steno – a shorthand language built around phonetics – and be able to use CAT software to correct errors such as “here” versus “hear” or “there” versus “their.” A scopist also needs to fill in missing words by checking the transcript against the recorded proceeding and research the correct spellings of proper names, businesses, doctors, medications, and anything else that comes up in a transcript.

Online Research

This job requires a lot of online research, which makes it an excellent career if you’re a closet Google addict like us!

ScopeSchool Text reads "Why Students Love ISS" in large, teal serif font on a white background.
ScopeSchool Text reads: "Students consistently praise Internet Scoping School (ISS) for its comprehensive training, hands-on practice, and lifetime support.

I would recommend Internet Scoping School to anyone looking to become a scopist. I am a pretty resourceful, do-it-yourself type of person, but I can honestly say I would never have learned all I really needed to know without ISS.

I think my favorite part of the course was getting to learn how to read steno notes. The Case CAT software training section was also great.

In addition to the knowledge gained, I hadn't expected as much personal engagement from Linda and Lisa as I received throughout the course. It wasn’t just the corrections on final exams that they would send back but also friendly and congratulatory words of encouragement.

And once you enroll, you are invited to join a Facebook group specifically for ISS graduates and current students. So now that I’ve graduated I feel less like I’m starting out alone in a new business and more like I’m a part of a real community. A really good experience all around! - Melody Alicia Chapin  ISS Student

This was an excellent course! All the information covered involving the scoping process, Case CATalyst software, and business section was very thorough and exhaustive.

There were even tests and exams that helped me see what I needed to work on. The instructors/assistants were communicative and quick to respond to emails.

 I definitely feel I got a lot out of my investment and am confident reaching out for work. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in pursuing a job in this field. -  Holley Lawson  ISS Student

ScopeSchool Text reads: "Even after reviewing other potential options, ISS exceeded their expectations by providing step-by-step guidance, an active and supportive community, and real-world preparation that led to actual job success.

I really enjoyed this school and the process of becoming a scopist. I visited Internet Scoping School's site several times and other scoping schools before deciding on ISS. Linda is very thorough in all of the courses, and I feel very well prepared to put myself out in the world of scoping and working with court reporters. - Lauren Bradley  ISS Student

I had no previous experience in the court reporting/scoping world, so I was intimidated to say the least. Internet Scoping School provided everything I needed to feel confident to pursue this career.

Since graduating one month ago, I’ve been able to work with a few reporters now and the feedback has all been great.

I highly recommend this program. Linda, along with all the current students and graduates, were always available to answer any specific questions I had along the way, and I still am able to use this wealth of knowledge when I have questions that come up while I work. - Aaron Raymond  ISS Student

ScopeSchool Text reads: "Graduates praise the ISS course for its depth, responsive team, and quick client results, calling it a career launchpad that delivers on its promise.

I visited the ISS website several times before convincing myself to take the leap. I thought it sounded like something that I would love doing, but it felt like too much to pay for a course. If you feel the same, remember: You get what you pay for!

I thought scoping was basically like editing. But there's so much more that you need to know! It's so specialized, from the terminology to the software to the "code" that court reporters write in. My husband swears it looked like I was learning Klingon! 😁 There were some sections and skills that I found harder than others, but you know that everything you are learning is valuable and will enable you to hit the ground running as soon as you finish.

Linda Evenson is a fantastic instructor and always generous with her time. She offers not just the wealth of her own experience and knowledge, but that of others as well, including many renowned professionals in different aspects of the scoping field. I also had access to support and suggestions from other students and graduates of the course whenever I had any questions. You are never left on your own to figure things out.

As the end of the course neared, I started to worry about finding clients, but Linda helps you out there too. I received my certificate of completion today and I have my first interview with a client tomorrow! I can't recommend this course enough. Best decision I ever made! - Amy Herbus  ISS Student

ScopeSchool Text reads: "There are other 'schools' out there with 'programs' for scoping, but ISS claims to be the best choice due to 8 unique reasons not found in other scoping programs.

These 8 reasons make it obvious that 
ISS is the best choice for your scoping training:

There are other “schools” out there with “programs” claiming to teach you “scoping.” And you know what? You might learn how to scope. But beneath the surface, major flaws and critical elements are missing from these other programs.

One thing we have in common with other schools is that we don’t guarantee you’ll make an income just by enrolling. (because it isn’t about just enrolling, it’s about practising the skill!)

…but that’s about the only thing we have in common with other schools.

Why is ISS more expensive than other scoping courses?

ISS is currently priced $195 more than other “scoping” programs, and this is what we have heard from our students: Cheaper isn’t always better. Many lower-cost programs lack up-to-date training, lifetime support, and real-world practice materials. ISS provides industry-recognized training, lifetime access, and comprehensive business guidance – ensuring you’re fully prepared to succeed. Our students consistently outperform graduates from other programs because they receive everything they need to be job-ready right from the start.

 

Is scoping a stable career?

Yes! Scoping is virtually recession-proof. Court cases and depositions never stop, even during economic downturns. Skilled scopists are always in.

How much can I earn as a scopist?

New scopists typically make $30,000-$50,000/year, with experienced scopists earning even more. Since you set your own rates and workload, your income potential is entirely in your hands!

Do I need experience to start?

Nope! We teach you everything from scratch.

How long does the course take?

Most students finish in 6-8 months, but you can go at your own pace.

Will I get support after I graduate?

Yes! You’ll have lifetime access to updates and the ISS student community.

Why should I trust Scoping to be a reliable career?

Law and Order are one of the major necessities in a safe and just society. And, for decades, our legal system and the legal systems across the world have always required personal and trained professionals to keep things moving. As a trained Scopist, you will become an integral part of keeping that process alive and well.
