As court reporters we do what we love, we report! We are the record! But how does everyone feel about the other STUFF; scoping, proofing, deadlines, timelines, balancing our workload! It can all be so overwhelming. How do you find help? How do you trust the "help" you found? Will that "help" make it even more crazy?!?
Join myself and Lauren Lawrence, founder of Stenovate and working reporter, as we delve into why she worked so hard to create this service and how it all works.
To quote Robin Williams in Mrs. Doubtfire, "Help is on the way, dear."

Feel free to reach out the Lauren on the website to answer any of your questions. Look for that free trial!!
