Providing our students with experienced faculty, current theory and curriculum, and state-of-the-art technology has been our philosophy since 1984 when Kay Moody founded CCR.  As leaders in the field of preparing students as court reporters, stenographers, broadcast captioners, and communication access realtime translation (CART) reporters, we’ve made a substantial investment of capital and time to perfect the delivery of court reporting education. This blended learning environment was created to bring students and their teachers together as never before.

Imagine an online learning environment and speedbuilding software program that allows aspiring court reporters access to quality dictation resources with instantaneous evaluations.  Imagine a learning management system developed with students and faculty in mind; a system that delivers all the tools students need to develop their skills; a system that provides comprehensive assessment of speed and skill development while allowing faculty more interactive one-on-one time with students.

The EV360 Realtime Theory's basic concepts are not new or unique, but they are based on the fundamental machine shorthand theory developed by Ward Stone Ireland in the late 1800s and the ever-evolving machine shorthand principles of writing from the ‘70s and ‘80s when students were able to finish court reporting school in two years or less. The staff at the College of Court Reporting developed easily learned, logical theory principles that incorporate the latest technology and artificial intelligence. The method is not only a theory but also a method of learning machine shorthand and developing the skill and proficiency to quickly learn how to write rapidly with a high degree of accuracy while incorporating all aspects of CAT software. 

Introductory course in conflict-free, realtime stenographic machine shorthand writing. Students will learn chapters 1 through 96 of Mark Kislingbury's Magnum Steno theory book. Students will learn brief forms for writing thousands of the most common words and phrases and a phonetic-based system for writing all words. They will learn all keys on the stenographic machine, proper writing posture and form, readback and transcription of notes, and dictionary building.
