Huseby Inc. Court Reporting Blog | Nationwide Court Reporters

It may surprise you to know that many of our court reporters don’t work in traditional office settings. You can work out of your home performing legal transcription services or as a legal videographer.

Home Based Legal Transcription Services

When attorneys interview witnesses before questioning them in court, they need legal transcription services to provide an official record of the conversation. Court reporters document these interviews as an unbiased witness, transcribing the conversation as it happens.

Many of our specialists in legal transcription services work out of their homes. In some cases they have to travel to the deposition site to create the transcript, but often they can work remotely. They watch the deposition on live web video or listen to it over the phone and transcribe it from a home office.

Legal transcription services may not involve doing live transcriptions. Other work at home opportunities for reporters include transcribing video depositions or working with another court reporter to create a final transcript.

Recording Video Depositions

Any video intended for evidence is likely to be challenged by the opposing attorney. A legal videographer is a person who can record a video as an unbiased observer, creating a record that will stand up in court. A video deposition recorded in this manner can allow witnesses to provide evidence in a case being tried hundreds of miles away without having to travel to the courtroom.

Typically, legal videographers don’t have as much opportunity to work out of their homes as a transcriptionist. They record the video at locations such as an attorney’s office or video conferencing studio. However, much of the post-deposition work involved in preparing the final video can be done at home. They have some flexibility regarding scheduling, making it a good choice for people with other commitments.
