Prompts for Court Reporters: Clean, Accurate, On Time

This course is a collection of prompts that help you use AI in your daily work as a court reporter. You'll find prompts for cleaning up transcripts, proofreading, formatting legal documents, creating summaries, and managing your workload.

Each lesson focuses on one task and gives you prompts you can copy and paste into your AI tool. You'll also learn how to adjust the prompts to fit your cases and your style.

  2. What the course covers

    The course covers eight lessons, each targeting a common task for court reporters. You'll start with transcript cleanup and proofreading, then move to formatting, summaries, communication, planning, terminology, and troubleshooting.

    Every lesson includes prompts you can use right away. The prompts are written in plain language and work with popular AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.

  3. How the lessons connect

    The lessons build on each other. For example, cleaning up a transcript makes proofreading easier, and proofreading makes formatting more reliable. Summaries and indices help you and attorneys find key parts quickly.

    Communication and planning keep your projects on track. Terminology and troubleshooting round out your skills so you can handle whatever comes up.

  4. How to use the prompts well

    Start by giving the AI clear context: the type of proceeding, the parties involved, and any special instructions. Then paste the prompt and your text. Review the output carefully and make adjustments as needed.

    You can save prompts that work well and adapt them for different cases. Always check names, numbers, and legal terms against your original record.

  5. Who it is for

    This course is for court reporters who want to save time and reduce stress without cutting corners. It's for you if you work with depositions, hearings, trials, or meetings and want to use AI as a helpful assistant.

    No prior AI experience is needed. If you can copy and paste, you can use these prompts.

  6. Safety and privacy for this job

    Legal work requires confidentiality. Before using AI, check your court's rules and your client agreements. Avoid sharing sensitive information unless you are sure it's allowed.

    You'll learn how to redact names and other details before using AI, and how to keep your data secure. When in doubt, leave it out.

  7. Your next step

    Pick one lesson that matches a task you have today. Try the prompt on a small section of a transcript. See how it goes, then try another lesson tomorrow.

    Over time, these prompts will become part of your routine, helping you deliver accurate work on time.
