Hey all, My name is Daniele and I'm a scopist on CaseCat v.9. I'm currently looking to add reporters to my client base. I am very dependable, my work is of...
Hi Daniele. Welcome to the group. Hopefully someone can throw some work your way or help assist you in finding a new client. Best of luck to you! Alicia -...
I've always wondered how everyone came upon scoping? People ask me all the time how I knew to look into becoming a scopist. I know what my story is, but I...
Alicia, You and I must have started scoping at about the same time. I started scoping part time while in CR school. I didn't bite the bullet and start...
I started scoping after I gave birth to my son. I quit my job and was just going to stay home but I got so bored! I'm such a workaholic. I was sitting...
I was looking online for legit WAH jobs and came across scoping. It sounded really interesting, so I signed up for the online course. I'm almost done with...
In the next month, I plan to be working as a scopist. I am almost done with my online course, and am looking for a bit of advice.  What would you recommend...
Hi Sheena. Yes, I think you and I did start scoping at about the same time. I started around March of '96. Something like that. Glad you stuck to your guns...
Well, good luck with scoping while attending CR school. It sounds like you're very motivated and will probably do very well with court reporting! I think a...
Hi Denise. How did you know it was legit, though? I mean, medical billing is legit, but what it takes to get going is tough! Did you talk to others about...
I'd worked in law offices for many years and was a paralegal/legal assistant. My kids were almost teenagers and I wanted to be able to keep a closer eye on...
Hey Liz, Scoping is a perfect career for an insomniac! I know we all have had a few late nights working on dailies!!! ... to ... had a ... file ... was ... ...
I agree, Liz. Nothing is more comfortable than jammies. I suffer from migraines, so besides wanting to be home to raise my children and be here for them...
Hi all- I'm looking for someone willing to cover for me while I'm on vacation next month for two weeks. The only clients who will really need the coverage are...
Hi Alicia,  Yeah, I talked to others to pick their brain about it to see if it was legit. I even bombarded Judy (at BeST) with questions before signing up...
Hi Denise. I love Case CATalyst. I tried Eclipse way back when and didn't care for it, BUT I hear that their latest version is wonderful. You can't knock...
Hi All. I have the opportunity to become a Scopist but am having trouble just getting thru the CAT9 Tutorial Disc reason being I'm a SAHM to a 1 yr old and...
As a stay at home mom, I would say I get everything done with a combination of the Grace of God and magic. I have the ability to stay up late and get up...
I'll tell you what; I just watched my seven-month-old nephew for a few days last week, and it was terrible trying to get anything done. He was never happy in...
I am in the exact same boat as you. I have a 1 year old son and he is into EVERYTHING - ALL THE TIME. It's non-stop. I am currently a student at BeST, so...
I have five children and I scope! LOL People ask me all the time how I do it. When I started out I had three children. They were 18 months old, 3 and 5....
<<<I've always found that family and friends are worse interrupters than a baby or young child, sadly. I've offended quite a number of people over the years...
Yes, it's amazing that most people just don't get it. In my situation, the most annoying part is that the callers usually don't want anything except to "check...
Yes, but then I have it the other way. My mom never calls me. Nobody ever calls me. Then they get mad because I don't call them ... I can't win.  ...
Well, I will add to this so that there is yet another success story for those starting out! I have nine children and I scope! I also hear a lot of how do you...
Hey, Betsee, I'll have my mom call you. LOL And don't feel bad, my husband does the same thing. I've often thought the same thing you said: Just talk to me...
