About Me
A little bit about me
Delores Miles
Hi, I am Delores Miles and I proofread transcripts for Court Reporters. I want to help you from being stressed and overwhelmed by proofreading your transcripts in PDF format and returning them back to you error free.
I realize this is not a 9-5 Monday through Friday job. I also understand that last-minute rushes do happen, and my well-trained “eagle eyes” will be needed at any time. I am available for you when you need me to be. I want to help you uphold your reputation that you have worked so hard to achieve in this industry.
My Knowledge and Training
I am a former Brown College of Court Reporting student that advanced to the 140wpm speed class but had to withdraw due to medical reasons. I have completed the rigorous course of Transcript Proofreading: Theory and Practice by Caitlin Pyle. I have also attended many, many seminars by Margie Wakeman Wells (Margie holds Court). From dashes, colons, verbals, plurals, possessives, clauses, periods, semicolons, and commas, I’ve just about had them all.
My reference books are:
- Morrison’s English Guide for Court Reporters
- Margie Wakeman Wells Court Reporting: Bad Grammar/ Good Punctuation
- The Gregg Reference Manual
- Merriam-Webster Dictionary
- NCRA Guidelines
I welcome the opportunity to be an integral member of your court reporting team so I can help support you by polishing your transcripts to ensure for accuracy and completeness.
Process
Working Process
What I do:
I proofread transcripts for Court Reporters using the iAnnotate software. Once I proofread your transcript for proficiency, I will return back to you a flawless, quality, error-free transcript that you can submit to your clients with pride and confidence.
Why I do it:
I proofread transcripts for Court Reporters for two reasons:
1. To relieve you of all stress as far as the perfection of your transcript.
2. I just LOVE this work.
How I do it:
This is my process:
I received an email request from you inquiring if I am available to proofread your transcript. I respond back to you in a timely manner that I am available and ask when do you need it back. I receive your transcript via email in PDF format. Using the iAnnotate, I am able to open the PDF file directly from your email. I proofread your transcript according to my training and your individual personal preference. I check for spelling, punctuation, formatting, word usage, homophones, content, and clarity. Corrections are made directly on the PDF copy of the transcript in red and yellow markings. I returned the PDF transcript back to you via email.

Turnaround Time / Rates / Billing
Turnaround Time:
Standard : 2 business days
(If your transcript is received on Monday morning at 9:00 a.m., I will return it back to you Wednesday morning at 9:00 a.m. or before).
Rush : 24 hours
Expedite: .12 hours
Note: For rush and expedite jobs, I request that clients notify me immediately if they have received a rush or an expedite job. If it is a very long job (200 or more pages), please do not wait until you have finished before you send it to me. I request long rush and expedite jobs to be sent in pieces of 50 pages at a time. This ensures that you don’t have a long wait time while I proofread that huge job all at once.
Rates :
Standard: $ .45/ per page
Rush: $ .55/ per page
Expedite: $ .65/ per page
Note: For transcripts that I receive that are not ready to be proofread; in other words, transcripts that have not been scoped and are exceptionally “messy,” I reserve the right to bill at a $ .05/per page higher rate.
Billing :
I bill on the 1st and 15th of each month for repeating clients. For first-time clients, I bill upon completion. Payment is due on receipt.
