BRANT PROOFREADING

PDF ~ Case CAT ~ Proofreader

Helping court reporters be happy

one transcript at a time.

Greetings from Western Pennsylvania!

I found transcript proofreading a few years ago, and I absolutely LOVE it.

Graduate of Transcript Proofreading Academy (by Elizabeth Wiegner): Completed extensive training specific to the needs of court reporters that focuses on your preferences, the spoken word, and punctuation.

16 years as a registered nurse/DIYer/bookkeeper for a family-run excavation business: I bring a variety of life experiences to the table and will use my resources and knowledge to return an accurate, readable transcript.

Open to feedback: Creates a positive work environment and promotes growth.

When I’m not proofreading, you can find me walking the dogs, taking care of the chickens, and spending time with my family.

Nice to meet you!

I can’t wait to start working together!
