New Directory Unites Scopists and Court Reporters
For Immediate Release:
New Directory Unites Scopists and Court Reporters
Until now the available methods for a court reporter to find a scopist were limited, especially since most scopists are freelancers who work from home. That's why Mithros Web Design has launched a new online scopist and court reporter directory called Scopingcentral.com to provide a better way for court reporters to connect with support personnel in their industry including scopists, proofreaders, transcriptionists and agencies.
You may be wondering, what is a scopist? Explained in the simplest terms, a scopist is someone who edits imperfect transcripts created from the stenographic files of court reporters, mostly in trials, hearings and other legal procedures. Proofreaders are just that, they proofread the work that has been scoped before it goes to final approval of the court reporter. Transcriptionists, on the other hand, usually work for agencies rather than court reporters and are responsible for producing entire documents from scratch using only audio or video.
Most Americans know little or nothing about the court reporting profession, not to mention their subcontracted employees. There are virtually no sections in any newspaper employment classifieds or leading Internet classifieds such as Career Builder or Monster.com for Court Reporting, Scoping or Transcription jobs. Perhaps this is why Mithros Web Development has tried to help working people in the field of court reporting find a solution.
How does Scoping Central work? Its registered members are provided with access to a job board, support forums, and the main feature of the site, their own professional web profile. The profiles are created and edited by each member individually and become part
of a database that can be searched by name, location, software used, or any other keywords. Profiles matching the criteria of a potential employer can then be viewed to reveal an individual's professional background, resume, and most importantly their work status, whether they are accepting work, booked up, or even offering work.
Each member profile at Scoping Central also has the addition feature of a member-to-member private email box with file attachment capabilities. The file attachments allowed in this intranet email system are limited to the file extensions of various court reporting CAT software programs. This will give court reporters and scopists the ability to quickly and easily transfer audio and data files between each other, while protecting their email boxes from unwanted virus attachments.
Many reporters don't have scopists because they are too hard to find, so they have to take time off from court proceedings to scope their work themselves. The developers of Scoping Central hope to change all of that by providing an efficient, user-friendly solution to the needs of the world of stenography and getting court reporters excited about hiring scopists and proofreaders, and agencies excited about hiring court reporters and transcriptionists. If Scoping Central is a sign of things to come, then there are big things awaiting the court reporting industry, including the creation of new jobs due to a demand for more scopists, proofreaders and transcriptionists as court reporters and agencies gain trust and confidence in their newfound ability to find their perfect match.
