Online Court Reporting Course

SimplySteno:
Based in Oregon, SimplySteno provides a quality court reporting program available online to students from all over the United States.

Online Court Reporting Programs:
SimplySteno is an online court reporting training program that prepares you to take the RPR exam. You can start our program on any Monday and work at your own pace.

Our program focuses on 6 areas: Dictation/Testing, Academics, Drills, Scheduling, Mental Conditioning and Creativity. All 6 of these are worked into a daily schedule that leaves nothing for you to interpret.

- Academics:
The academics and lesson plans have been assembled by working reporters using information gleaned directly from the RPR exam. Each academic runs from 6 to 12 weeks. We've worked 4 academics into the program - English, Vocabulary, Medical Terminology and Legal Terminology.

- Drills:
Drills are an important part of your daily routine. We keep things interesting by providing varying dexterity, number, medical and spelling drills.

- Scheduling:
Every day requires from 2 to 5 hours of your time, depending on the assignments of the day. Testing days are the longest as they require typing time.

- Creativity:
Our program also includes several games designed to work on the skills you need...without boring you in the process! One stipulation - you can only use these games if you are able to connect your steno machine to your computer (using a CAT software).

- Mental Conditioning:
Most students focus every ounce of energy they have into passing tests. In our opinion, that's a mistake. Your energy should be placed on your writing - all writing - how to write cleaner, without hesitation. Once you've done that, the tests will take care of themselves. We teach you how to focus that positive energy and release the negative.

- Dictation:
We believe in a Trail, Goal, Push approach to speedbuilding. Lower speeds are perfect to practice your accuracy and form good writing habits. Your goal speed is your testing speed - the speed you are currently trying to pass.

SimplySteno Plus:
If you have the ability to get online for every lesson you do, SimplySteno Plus is the way to go. It's SimplySteno, plus all the added features like an audio library, video library, test tracking, brief machine and more.

Both programs have your lessons on demand, so either is a great choice!
