We’re called court reporters, stenographers, captioners, speed-texters, and realtime communication specialists. Whatever you call us, we are technology. Picture yourself getting paid to caption the games of your favorite sports team or working in the center of the action during a high-profile trial.

The NCRA A to Z® online program is a hybrid course combining both live online instructor sessions with videos and dictation materials for self-paced practice. During this free program, experienced court reporters will teach you the alphabet in steno and how to write on a machine.

Imagine a career with a ringside seat to all the action: 

  • High-profile criminal trials
  • the House of Representatives and the Senate
  • Major sporting events
  • Breaking-news stories for TV
