Frequently Asked Questions
HOW QUICKLY CAN YOU RESPOND TO EXPEDITED REQUESTS?
I understand the fast-paced demands of court reporting. Rush requests are always considered, and I can often accommodate same-day or next-day turnarounds depending on the transcript length and my current queue.
DO YOU CHARGE FOR ESTIMATES?
Never. I provide free estimates based on your page count, turnaround needs, and formatting preferences. You’ll always know the cost upfront before I begin. Book a discovery call for a brief consultation to explore how I can best support you.
ARE YOU QUALIFIED TO PROOF LEGAL TRANSCRIPTS?
Yes. I specialize in proofreading verbatim legal transcripts and follow the industry standards required by court reporters and agencies. I also bring 25+ years of grammar expertise and 10+ years as a CPA, where precision and confidentiality are critical.
WHAT PAYMENT METHODS DO YOU ACCEPT?
I accept secure payments via PayPal or Upwork. For ongoing partnerships, invoicing through FreshBooks is available for easy recordkeeping.
HOW DO YOU HANDLE CONFIDENTIALITY?
Client confidentiality is paramount. All transcripts are treated with the strictest discretion, and I am happy to sign NDAs upon request.
WHAT IS THE PROPER PROOFREADING PROTOCOL™?
The Proper Proofreading Protocol™ is my signature, step-by-step process designed to ensure transcripts are polished, consistent, and ready for delivery. Every transcript goes through a careful, multi-step review for spelling, punctuation, grammar, formatting, and transcript-specific details such as bylines, Q&A consistency, and exhibit handling. I combine industry standards with a meticulous eye for detail so you can submit work that reflects accuracy and professionalism.
DO YOU USE AI TO PROOFREAD TRANSCRIPTS?
No. Every transcript is proofread by me, not by artificial intelligence. While AI tools can be helpful for some general tasks, they are not reliable enough for legal work where every word matters.
AI often misses critical details such as:
- Mr. vs. Mrs. in testimony, or Dr. vs. Jr. in titles.
- Homophones like their/there/they’re, your/you’re, sight/cite/site, roll/role, or wave/waive.
- Proper names and spellings (e.g., Jon vs. John).
- Transcript formatting, like Q: and A: punctuation, bylines, or exhibit references.
- Contextual meaning, such as mixing up capital (money) and Capitol (building).
- Commonly confused or incorrectly spelled words (trail/trial, statue/statute, principal/principle, formally/formerly, respectively/respectfully, affect/effect, counsel/council, drugs/drums)
That’s why I rely on my training, experience, and Proper Proofreading Protocol™ to ensure accuracy, consistency, and confidentiality. Your transcripts are never run through AI software or exposed to outside platforms.
