One place for everything that surrounds the transcript, shaped by the reporters who use it.
StenoDesk is the workspace where a court reporter runs their whole practice. Not the writing itself, that stays in your CAT software, but everything around it: the jobs coming in, the deadlines stacking up, the rate sheets and the billing math, the case files and exhibits, the glossaries and cast lists, the proofing pass, the editors you hand work to, and the invoices going out. One place, where each piece knows about the others.
Court reporting is a business with a lot of moving parts. A single job carries a rate sheet, a deadline, a cast of parties and counsel, a glossary, a proofing pass, an invoice, and often an editor or two. Most reporters run all of that by hand, across tools that were never meant to work together, in the hours after the record itself is already done.
StenoDesk started inside a working practice rather than on a whiteboard. Every part of it exists because something there needed solving: rate sheet math that had to come out exact, invoices that had to go out on time, editor pay that had to be tracked rather than remembered, a proofing pass held to a reporter's standards instead of a style guide's.
That is still the test. A feature ships when it answers something a reporter ran into on a real job.
Court reporters who run their own book of business, the scopists and proofreaders who edit for them, and the agencies and firms that coordinate many of them. If you have ever lost an evening to billing math, re-typed a witness name into three different documents, or chased a payment you forgot to send, this was built for you.
We build in close partnership with working reporters. Features come from real jobs and real frustrations, and the proofing methodology is grounded in how careful reporters actually proof, not in a generic editing tool. We would rather ship one thing that fits the work than ten things that almost do.
Access to StenoDesk is by invitation, or by a referral from a reporter already using it. We bring reporters in personally, set them up, and build alongside them; every invitation includes a two month free trial of the full workspace. If that sounds like your kind of tool, we would love to have you in.
