Duties and Responsibilities

The most obvious employment of stenographers, also known as stenotypists, is in court room legal proceedings where exact records are needed. Stenographers, however, also do transcription work for important businesses meetings, prominent speeches, closed captioning for television or anywhere else an official legal record of the spoken word must be preserved. Stenotype machines have several keys with letters on them that represent sounds, words, phrases. Stenographers hit several keys at once to record combinations of letters that can represent sounds, words, or phrases. The key combinations are then electronically recorded and then translated in a process called Computer-Aided Transcription (CAT). Depending upon the type of employment, many other job functions may be added to regular stenography duties and responsibilities. The following excerpts are stenographer duties and responsibilities from actual Monster.com postings:

* 'The stenographer will be responsible for taking meeting notes three times per month in a professional business environment.' -- Office Team
* 'Operations A Clerk Stenographer, performs general clerical functions which include answering telephones, processing mail, gate security, ordering supplies/materials, maintaining files, formulating correspondence, minutes and reports. Perform general accounting functions which include the processing of purchase orders, petty cash and vendor invoice payments. Process payroll and all other associated reports.

Job Requirements

Job educational requirements differ by employer. Some accept relevant experience only, while others require an associate's degree or certificate in legal transcription, stenography, court reporting/captioning or any related program. In addition to education, some states require court reporters to be licensed or certified. Different professional associations offer certifications; most of which are voluntary, but help set you apart from the competition through demonstrated knowledge.

Other job skills include speed, accuracy, listening skills, computer skills and knowledge of jargon for a particular industry. For example, court reporting stenographers must have a thorough knowledge of judicial terminology. The following excerpts are stenographer job requirements from actual postings on the American Association of Electronic Reporters and Transcribers (AAERT) website, www.aaert.org:

* 'Graduation from a standard high school or equivalent and five years of stenographic work in the court system, legal field or criminal justice environment is required. An Associate's degree from an accredited court reporting school may substitute for two years of the required experience. Certification may be required at the discretion of the Chief Justice or designee. Registered Professional Reporter (RPR) certification preferred.' - Seventh Judicial Circuit, St. Augustine or Bunnell, Florida
* 'High school diploma/GED, Graduate of a court reporting school approved by the National Court Reporter Association (NCRA), and designation of Registered Professional Reporter (RPR) from the NCRA or compliance with the Minnesota Supreme Court Order 81-876; Electronic: High school diploma/GED and Certification as Electronic Court Reporter by the Minnesota Supreme Court; Experience with Microsoft Office products preferred.' - First Judicial District Dakota County Hastings, Minnesota

Employment Outlook

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), www.bls.gov, overall employment of court reporters is projected to grow much more quickly than the average occupation through the year 2016. Court reporters median annual earnings were $45,610 as of May 2006. Advancement opportunities usually come in the form of pay raises and more prestigious positions. Stenographers with enough experience and education, however, may move into supervisory, management, administrative, teaching or consulting positions.

Hi dear,
There has been a good deal of correspondence in our columns of late as to the compensation of stenographers, the opportunities offered in stenography for a satisfactory career and the encouragement to a young man or young woman to devote to the acquisition of shorthand and typewriting the time required to gain at least average proficiency.
If you are considering a career as a stenographer, one of the most important things that you should consider is what type of job duties stenographers have. They transcribe, or type, material which they are dictated. This can include orders, memos, correspondence, reports and various other types of information. When they transcribe such information, stenographers will use shorthand. A lot of the time, stenographers can be found working in a court, where they will transcribe various types of information. Stenographers will often use word and data processing software or equipment in order to ensure that the information which they have transcribed is correct. The transcriptions which they have made often need to be organized. Many stenographers will also take on the basic duties of a secretary, which may include answering phones, directing visitors to where they need to go and managing appointments.
Thanks
