About this site

A reference for people deciding whether to become a court reporter, and for students already on the way: what the job is, what each state requires, what the credentials mean, and what the words mean.

Who publishes it

Court Reporting Facts is published by Inenvi, Inc. of Las Vegas, Nevada. Inenvi also makes StenoDeck, a steno keyboard and trainer for phones. Where this site mentions StenoDeck it is mentioning our own product, and it says so. Nothing on the licensing, certification or career pages is written to favor it.

How facts are handled

• Every licensing fact names its source, usually the state board or court office that sets the rule, and the date we last checked it.
• A fact we could not confirm is shown as not yet verified rather than guessed. Blank is better than wrong.
• Pay and employment figures come from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and carry their data year.
• Corrections come through the contact page; when a board changes a rule we update the page and its review date.

What the site earns from

Today, nothing. The plan is to earn referral fees from court reporting programs that students reach through this site, and a margin or commission on steno writers bought through it. When either exists, the page that carries the link will say so plainly, as the Federal Trade Commission's endorsement rules require.

Using the data

The site is meant to be read by people and by software. Each page carries structured data, there is a plain-text guide for AI assistants, and a read-only data API is planned. Quote us with a link and the review date, and check the board's own site before relying on a fee or deadline.

Not legal advice

Licensing rules are law, and this site is a summary of law, not a substitute for it. The regulator named on each page decides what applies to you.
