Priya's Wednesday, two ways
8 lessons · 24 prompts
A day in the life of a Court Reporter: what changes with these prompts.
Track progress as a memberPriya, a freelance court reporter who covers depositions and hearings.
Priya starts her Wednesday with a deposition transcript from yesterday. She runs the rough steno output through a cleanup prompt in ChatGPT to fix punctuation and speaker labels. Then she uses a proofreading prompt to catch name errors and inconsistent spellings. By 10 a.m., the draft is ready for her final review.
After lunch, she has a stack of audio files from a hearing. She uses a summarization prompt in Claude to create a neutral summary and index, so she can quickly find key testimony. Later, she writes to an attorney about a transcript delay using a communication prompt in Gemini, adjusting it to sound professional and clear.
With the time she saves, Priya takes a walk before her next assignment. She also uses a terminology prompt to build a glossary for an upcoming medical malpractice case, which helps her prepare for certification exams.
By the end of the day, she has completed more work with less stress. She feels confident that her transcripts are accurate and her clients are informed.
