CAPABILITY CARD · Design & Media

The Court Reporters and Simultaneous Captioners capability card.

One link that proves what you do — the work, the tools, the market, and the path to better contracts.

There are 12,870 court reporters and simultaneous captioners in the U.S. The ones who win the work a buyer actually budgets for don't hand over a flat PDF — they send a living capability card. Built and maintained by our New Jersey team.

What your card proves

The work a buyer needs to see at a glance.

A client or contracting officer scanning ten court reporters and simultaneous captioners wants fast proof you actually do the work. These are the core duties O*NET ties to your field — your capability card turns them into scannable proof points instead of a wall of text.

Proofread transcripts for correct spelling of words.
Duty 03

Where you stand

A real market — compete on proof, not price.

Nationally, 12,870 court reporters and simultaneous captioners earn a median of $72,420 a year (BLS OEWS, May 2024). In a market that size, the businesses that win the better work don't lead with the lowest number — they lead with a credible, current capability card. That's exactly what we build.

Tools that signal you're current

The government-contracting edge

Where the steady budgets actually are.

Most court reporters and simultaneous captioners win public work as subcontractors to construction and facilities primes, and through small-business set-aside programs. Primes vet subs fast — a living capability card with your licenses, bonding posture, and recent work is how you get the call instead of getting screened out. We build it to be that fast yes.
