Your style, not mine.
It is imperative that a scopist knows the reporter's editing preferences and uses them consistently throughout the transcript. I ask that my reporters provide me with an edited exemplary file to assist me in learning his or her editing style. When in doubt, I refer to trusted resources such as Lillian Morson's English Guide for Court Reporters and Bad Grammar, Good Punctuation by Margie Wakeman-Wells.
When flagging your transcript, I use as few marks as possible to reduce your final editing time. ScanStops, carats and conflicts are used for ease of selection and/or removal. Hidden Text is sometimes used as well.
I am committed to accuracy and meticulously research unknown terms, places, names and anything else that needs to be verified. When you receive your finished job, you can rest assured that I have doggedly researched the content of your transcript, even if those terms are already defined. I back up my reporters by double-checking the obvious. One of my mantras: never assume.
My desire is to partner with you in your preservation of the record and produce a stellar transcript every single time.
