Remote Stenographer jobs in Cutler Bay town, Florida – Full‑Time Court Reporting, Real‑Time Shorthand Typing, $55,000‑$70,000 Salary, CAT‑G2 Certified, Flexible Schedule

TITLE: Remote Stenographer jobs in Cutler Bay town, Florida – Full‑Time Court Reporting, Real‑Time Shorthand Typing, $55,000‑$70,000 Salary, CAT‑G2 Certified, Flexible Schedule --- We’re a boutique legal‑tech firm that has been helping law firms and courts capture verbatim records for more than a decade. Our headquarters sit in a converted loft in downtown Cutler Bay town, Florida, but 90 % of the work we do today is done from home offices across the country. We’re looking for experienced stenographers who love the rhythm of courtroom language, thrive under tight turnaround times, and want to keep their feet (and laptops) planted in the same city—Cutler Bay town, Florida—even while they work remotely. ### Why this role exists now Two things changed in the last 18 months that opened a new window for remote court reporting: 1.

A surge in virtual hearings

– State courts in Florida and federal courts nationwide have moved more than 60 % of their docket to video platforms like Zoom and Microsoft Teams. While the technology is new, the need for an accurate, real‑time transcript hasn’t changed. In fact, judges are asking for faster delivery because they can now read a transcript while the next argument is being made on screen. 2.

A talent bottleneck in Cutler Bay town

– Our in‑office team of eight stenographers hit a capacity ceiling last quarter when a large civil litigation firm opened a new branch in Cutler Bay town. They needed an extra pair of hands for the first three months, then a permanent cadence to keep up with the growing caseload. Rather than lease additional office space, we decided the smartest move is to hire a remote stenographer who lives in Cutler Bay town, Florida and can sync with our existing workflow tools. If you’ve ever watched a judge nod as a transcript scrolls across the screen in real‑time, you’ll know that the moment a word appears on the screen is the moment the courtroom moves forward. That’s the energy we want to capture day‑to‑day. ### What “you” will do -

Real‑time shorthand typing

– Using a CAT‑G2 system (Stenograph Case CAT, Eclipse, DigitalDictate or other approved hardware), you’ll type at a minimum of 225 wpm with an accuracy of 99 % or higher. You’ll deliver live captions to judges, attorneys, and hearing officers through Microsoft Teams or Zoom, meeting our SLA of sub‑15‑second latency on average. -

Post‑session transcript polishing

– After the hearing, you’ll clean up the raw file, add speaker identification, timestamps, and any necessary annotations. The final transcript is then uploaded to our secure cloud (OneDrive for Business) and shared with the client within the agreed‑upon turnaround window—usually 2 hours for most civil matters, 30 minutes for emergency motions. -

Quality‑control collaboration

– You’ll partner with our senior proofreaders (three full‑time staff in Cutler Bay town, Florida) who double‑check a random 10 % sample of every transcript. Any identified errors are logged in our internal tracking system (Jira) and used to coach the team on speed or accuracy improvements. -

Client communication

– Occasionally you’ll field a short email from an attorney or clerk who needs clarification on a transcript. You’ll use Google Workspace (Gmail, Docs) and Slack for quick, polite replies, maintaining the same professional tone we’ve built our brand on. -

Continuing education

– The legal landscape evolves; new terminology appears in tech‑law, environmental regulation, and healthcare disputes. We allocate $1,200 per year per stenographer for certifications (e.g., National Court Reporters Association’s Certified Real‑Time Reporter) and for subscriptions to LexisNexis and Westlaw to stay current on jargon. ### Who we’re looking for -

A certified court reporter

– Minimum of a CAT‑G2 certification, with at least three years of real‑time reporting experience. Experience in both in‑person and virtual settings is a plus. -

Technically comfortable

– You must be comfortable installing drivers, troubleshooting a USB‑connected stenotype machine, and using remote desktop tools (TeamViewer, AnyDesk) to connect to our production server. -

Location‑specific

– While this is a remote role, you must reside in Cutler Bay town, Florida. Our compliance policy requires us to confirm local residency for tax purposes, and we value having a community of colleagues who can meet for quarterly coffee catch‑ups (or a quick walk to the farmer’s market). -

Reliable internet

– Minimum 30 Mbps download/10 Mbps upload with a wired Ethernet connection. We run a weekly speed test script and will ask you to share the result before your first assignment. -

Attention to detail under pressure

– Our average case volume is 12 hours of testimony per week per reporter, but during a multi‑day trial you’ll be on‑call for up to 18 hours a day, with short breaks. You must maintain high accuracy throughout. ### The tools of the trade (our tech stack) 1.

Stenograph Case CAT

– Primary Computer‑Aided Transcription system. 2.

Eclipse

– Backup CAT software for Windows. 3.

DigitalDictate

– Speech‑to‑text verification tool. 4.

– Access to our central transcription server. You’ll have a dedicated workstation allowance of $250 to purchase or upgrade any of the above hardware, and our IT team can walk you through the initial setup via screen share. We’ve found that the best results come when the stenotype machine, computer, and monitors sit on a desk with a comfortable ergonomic chair – we’re happy to reimburse a portion of a standing‑desk conversion if that helps your posture. ### Our culture, in a sentence We’re the kind of team that still celebrates a “first‑of‑the‑month” win with a virtual pizza party, shares memes in the #court‑jokes Slack channel, and pulls a 30‑minute coffee break together once a month at the local café on Main Street in Cutler Bay town, Florida. > “I remember the first time I delivered a real‑time transcript to a trial judge on a Sunday night, and he called me in to confirm a single phrase that changed the direction of the case. That moment reminded me why I love this work – we’re the invisible hands that keep justice moving.” – *Emily R., Senior Stenographer, 7 years with us* ### What you’ll earn -

Base salary

– $55,000 to $70,000 annually, depending on experience and real‑time speed. Over the past year, our median raise for high‑performing stenographers (those who consistently stay under the 15‑second latency target) was 6 %. -
