Deposition reporters provide attorneys with transcripts of these proceedings. Work locations and hours can vary depending on your work schedule. Many reporters choose to work only four days a week, while others choose more creative hours. Deposition reporters enjoy scheduling freedom and independence unheard of in most professions. Many deposition reporters are mothers or fathers who enjoy the luxury of scheduling their working hours around the needs of their children.
Many reporters transcribe at home, allowing reporters even more flexibility.
Realtime Captioning Captioning reporters do closed captioning of television so that programs may reach the hearing impaired. Congress has recently mandated that most programs provide this crucial service. Realtime captioners are therefore very busy these days working for television and cable stations, capturing news, emergency broadcasts, sports events and other programs. Imagine earning a living captioning shows such as 3rd Rock, Ally McBeal, the NBA finals, and more. A career in captioning allows reporters to work outside the judicial system, providing valuable services to the hearing-impaired community.
