    I am here to offer you my expert services as a transcriber. and video captioner. I have been a transcriptionist since 2010 on several different projects as well as with a few people for long-term work. I've worked on books, webinars, podcasts, radio shows, interviews, conferences; a little bit of everything, both general and medical. You can see from my feedback how happy my past clients are with my deliverables. Rates are based on number of speakers, quality of audio, and turnaround time. Prices are fair, because you certainly get what you pay for in this industry. Larger companies may be a little lower, but everything is done through automation without that personal touch. You require quality, professional, quickly delivered documents that require no editing and are public-facing ready. That is exactly what I can provide for you. Also, please note that the hourly rate listed is for 10 minutes of transcribed audio, so an hour of audio will be billed for 6 working hours. You're basically paying for a completed product, not typing speed or how long it takes to finish. Please contact me for rates for video subtitling/captioning. My turn-around time is fast; usually 48 hours or less, depending on the length of the audio. I can provide verbatim documents or those with ready-to-read edits. I do not use automated software as I do not believe it returns a quality product. Please contact me today for a quote! Thanks, Sarah Mason

How to Hire Top Stenographers

What is a stenographer?

Shorthand is a form of written language that allows a person to match writing speed with the speed of dictated or spoken words and has traditionally been used to transcribe notes from courtrooms, business, journalism, and the medical industry. Stenographers offer in-depth knowledge of various styles of shorthand and can provide your organization with accurate, written versions of spoken words in environments where word processors or other technology is not feasible.

How do you hire a stenographer?

You can source stenographer talent on Upwork by following these three steps:

  • Write a project description. You’ll want to determine your scope of work and the skills and requirements you are looking for in a stenographer.
  • Post it on Upwork. Once you’ve written a project description, post it to Upwork. Simply follow the prompts to help you input the information you collected to scope out your project.
  • Shortlist and interview stenographers. Once the proposals start coming in, create a shortlist of the professionals you want to interview. 

Of these three steps, your project description is where you will determine your scope of work and the specific type of stenographer you need to complete your project.

How much does it cost to hire a stenographer?

Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.

  • An experienced stenographer may command higher fees but also work faster, have more-specialized areas of expertise, and deliver higher-quality work.
  • A contractor who is still in the process of building a client base may price their stenography services more competitively. 

Which one is right for you will depend on the specifics of your project. 

How do you write a stenographer job post?

Your job post is your chance to describe your project scope, budget, and talent needs. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project.

Job post title

Create a simple title that describes exactly what you’re looking for. The idea is to target the keywords that your ideal candidate is likely to type into a job search bar to find your project. Here are some sample stenographer job post titles:

  • Stenographer needed for high profile court case
  • Need stenographer to record meeting minutes
  • Court reporter needed for television closed captions

Project description

An effective stenographer job post should include: 

  • Scope of work: From court reporting to taking notes during a business meeting, list all the deliverables you’ll need. 
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project. 
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries, software, or engagements, mention this here. 
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.

Stenographer job responsibilities

Here are some examples of stenographer job responsibilities:

  • Ask meeting speakers to clarify inaudible statements
  • File case transcript records with the county clerk's office
  • Record depositions and other court proceedings for attorneys

Stenographer job requirements and qualifications

Be sure to include any requirements and qualifications you’re looking for in a stenographer. Here are some examples:

  • Minimum five years as a court reporter
  • Stenography our equivalent certification
  • Detail oriented and adept at following instructions
