When Im finished with StarTran Realtime Theory, will I be ready to take the RPR or CSR test?
No, not yet. You must first complete the rest of the court reporting curriculum: speedbuilding up to at least 225 words per minute and academic courses in four main areas of study, English, Medical, Law, Court Reporting Procedures and Business. You will be able to write realtime at a speed of between 50 to 100 and be ready to build speed without stopping. There will be no need for supplementary writing courses less comprehensive theories require, such as conflict resolution courses, big word writing courses, speaker identification courses, brief and phrase courses. After finishing StarTran Theory, you will be able to write anything in English in realtime.
