Why this test matters

Stenotype is its own discipline: chord-based input that compresses common words and phrases into single keystrokes. The certification floor for court reporters (RPR — Registered Professional Reporter) is 225 WPM literary, 200 WPM jury charge, 180 WPM testimony, all at 95%+ accuracy. Aspiring court reporters typically warm up on a standard keyboard before each stenotype session — the test below is the most useful version of that warm-up. If you're considering the court-reporting career path, 120+ WPM on a regular keyboard is the realistic prerequisite before stenotype training even makes sense; 80 WPM and below means the muscle-memory foundation isn't there yet. The 5-minute test format mirrors the duration of real testimony segments and the standard certification prep regimen.

Frequently asked questions

What WPM do court reporters need to be certified?
RPR: 225 WPM literary, 200 WPM jury charge, 180 WPM testimony — all at 95%+ accuracy on stenotype, not standard keyboard.
Can I become a court reporter without stenotype training?
Very rarely. Voice writing (mask-based) is an alternative, but the major certifications still favor stenotype.
How long does it take to learn stenotype?
18–36 months of full-time training to reach the 225 WPM RPR threshold. There's no shortcut.
