This is why I stopped paying proofreaders + scopists to help me with my work.

None of them were very good & a waste of my time/money.

I just do it myself & my product is solid. I can’t handle multiple edits over the most trivial things. 🙃

Pity there's no sign on option for support like paralegals and scopists.

Scopists make more, but the barrier to entry is higher and the work is harder. When I work with scopists, I probably pay them on average about $200 per job. I’m unsure how many jobs they can take per week. Maybe 3?

Abs (I hope it’s okay if I refer to you as this, and/or Six Pack), have you looked into becoming a scopist for court reporters? Pay is good ($50+ an hour) and there’s a crap ton of work in LA for the gig. Scopists are in demand and get to work from home.

Scopists: certification is the baseline. A clean, current style sheet is the signal that supports transcript consistency and professional trust. Join the conversation on Jusvox. #CourtReporting

Working in 15-minute shifts, they can tap 225 words per minute.

reporters work with editors, called scopists, to convert their stenographic notes into polished documents.

For every 15 minutes of floor time, the process takes about 1.5 hours in the House, and between 2 and 3 hours in the Senate.
