Paige Brown

Paige Proofs

About: I specialize in making your transcripts the best they can be. My laser focus on consistency, your preferences, and those maddening grammar rules will make your transcripts shine. I understand that you have a high-stress job, and I aim to lighten that load so that you can move on to other transcripts or spend more time pursuing your passions outside of being a top-notch court reporter.

Special skills/experience: When I graduated from college with degrees in business and English, I had not one inkling of what to do with those seemingly random degrees. I stumbled into an entry-level editing job for an anime magazine, and so began my love of proofreading. Sure, I enjoyed other aspects of that job, but being the last set of eyes on a 180-page magazine felt like an exhilarating treasure hunt. Anything I missed was soon printed in black and white with no do-overs. No pressure!

A few years ago, I began freelance writing, editing, and proofreading for businesses, and I once again learned that proofreading fills my cup the most. When I heard about the unique niche of transcript proofreading, I was energized to learn this new skill. Graduating from this course gave me all the tools I need to be the transcript proofreader who will make your life easier!

Fun facts: Spelling bees are my jam, and I have never forgotten exiting the district spelling bee on the word “exchequer.” My kids are required to know how to spell it just in case it ever comes up! That same year, my winning word in the school bee was “cowhide.” Significantly easier for a Texas girl!

Shannon Weathers

Shannon Weathers Transcript Proofreading LLC

About: I get to help court reporters with my passion, expertise and empathy. I understand their work is very tedious; therefore, I am honored to take that load off their shoulders. I am there to help make the last step of the court reporting process easy peasy while being diligent with a keen eye.

Special skills/experience: Having my master’s in reading and 10+ years of teaching experience, it is second nature to proofread! Spelling errors and grammatical errors stick out to me like a sore thumb so it brings so much pleasure to fix them. Transcript proofreading has become my niche because I can bring my expertise in reading and writing to a whole other level. I have spent years teaching students how to revise and edit their work and now I am doing that skill on a bigger level for court reporters.

Fun facts: I am the optimist in the room! Life happens but seeing the good is what keeps that positive mindset—personally and professionally! I am a proud fur mama to rescued pups and kitties. I am a newlywed as of 5 months ago! I love to design and decorate our home. Redoing furniture, especially heirlooms, is such a satisfying hobby! Let’s not forget I love a good Netflix binge, too! 🙂

Susanne Toth

Precise Proofreading

About: Hello! I’m Susanne, and I’m excited to have a career that combines my knowledge of punctuation and grammar with my passion for reading! I have been an avid reader throughout my life. One of my favorite childhood memories is reading on our front porch during rainstorms. Getting lost in a book while hearing the rain was heaven for me! Mystery, fiction, biography, psychology, etc… I love them all! Along with my keen eye for detail, I have turned into the grammar/spelling police amongst my friends and co-workers. I would love to be the second set of eyes for your transcripts so you can take a break and have less stress!

Special skills/experience: While my professional career started in corporate banking, I realized that I didn’t find it very interesting. l preferred to work in a way that helps people, so most of my positions have been focused on client service. I find it rewarding to be able to develop friendly relationships with clients, and then I can focus my services to their preferences. I have been described as reliable, punctual, friendly, precise, and easy to work with. I’ve always been the one to find punctuation and spelling errors and I enjoy doing some research for projects, as I consider myself a lifelong learner!

Fun facts: I love to travel and I especially love to travel outside the United States. When I travel abroad, I find the cultural differences to be so fascinating. I love to take it all in and learn as much as I can about the culture while I’m there. My most recent trips were to Bermuda and Lake Como, Italy. I am looking forward to proofreading remotely while traveling!

Kate Flora

Proofs by Kate

About: My business, Proofs by Kate, is all about helping people. I’m a PDF proofreader that is more than ready to be there for all you court reporters out there who are looking for a breath of fresh air. I’ve worked hard the past several months building up my skills and the business itself, and I am beyond excited to finally be bringing you the services I know you need!

Special skills/experience: My mother taught me to read at the age of four, and I’ve never looked back. Reading is a passion of mine, and my eye for detail means I can utilize that passion for the good of others as well as myself, and to me that means everything! In college, I majored in English, wrote for the school paper, and did a lot of creative writing. After college though, I found myself more interested in the technical side of things like math and science. I didn’t pursue those interests deeply, but the path I followed led me to transcript proofreading which feels like the perfect mixture of elements to satisfy all the areas of my excited brain!

Fun facts: My three favorite things are books, the outdoors, and my cat!

Sheila Prochnow

S Prochnow Proofreader

About: I’m Sheila, the “S” in S Prochnow Proofreader, and I deliver peace of mind to hardworking court reporters who need prompt, reliable, accurate PDF proofreading. I’ve been a word nerd and grammar geek ever since I was a kid watching Schoolhouse Rock. My professional experience includes three years proofreading legal and financial document translations at a multinational accounting firm, two years as a freelance general proofreader, and three years as a university language testing researcher.

Special skills/experience: Have you ever noticed when you read a transcript over and over that everything starts to blur together, and your eye skips over small details like missing words and spelling or punctuation errors? Scientists call this “typo blindness.” It happens because your highly efficient brain already knows the correct details and fills them in for you. Your solution? Call in an experienced proofreader with a sharp eye for detail (like me!). I catch the tiny errors your busy eyes can no longer see, and make clear annotations to your transcript so you can finalize it with confidence and assurance.

Fun facts: Reading is my #1 pastime: I love escaping into graphic novels, humorous essays, and Japanese crime fiction. I’m a big fan of Wes Anderson movies, and I’ll watch anything starring Frances McDormand. Foods I’m obsessed with are fresh apples from my home state (Michigan), grass-fed rib eyes, and real croissants.
