018: Do court reporters need proofreaders? A court reporter’s perspective on transcript proofreading
Spoiler alert: Court reporters need (and want!) to work with transcript proofreaders.
Seasoned court reporter Val Melkus joins me on this episode for a frank, honest talk about why court reporters rely on transcript proofreaders and why she considers them an indispensable asset to her job.
She also shares what court reporters look for in a transcript proofreader and what’s important — and not important! — to a successful relationship.

But how do you know which type of proofreading is best for you?
There’s general proofreading, which focuses on books, blogs, papers, and more. And there’s transcript proofreading, which focuses on verbatim legal transcripts.
Both work with words, but they’re both very different when it comes to how and what you proofread, the clients you work for, and the skill and experience you need to be successful.
So which one’s the perfect money-making match for you?
Turning typos into cash as a proofreader sounds intriguing, right?
