[Jobs] Wondering about aby blind Stenographers?

[Michael Bullis]

Many court reporters are moving toward speech recognition software which
means they will speak quietly into a microphone and edit their material.
It's faster and easier and doesn't require the learning of a specialized
machine.

In the pacific NW, court reporters are getting laid off right and left
and replaced with closed captioned video transcription.  I'd check
really thoroughly before jumping into those waters  Again, just my
opinion.  Pam Maxon

There are blind court reporters.  You could post your inquiry to the
blindlaw listserve on nfbnet as well.

Hello.  My name is Nicky and I am trying to decide what my next career

should be.  I am going back and forth between Medical Transcriptionist

and Stenographer.  They're both about equal in my mind.  I was wonderinf
if there were any blind Stenographers who I might contact to

see how they do there job.  I know some blind Medical transcriptionists

already.  If anybody has any ideas please feel to email me either
privately or on the list.  Thanks in advance.
