Company Overview:

Neal R. Gross and Co. is a premier provider of court reporting and legal support services in Washington, DC, known for our commitment to accuracy, reliability, and client satisfaction. We pride ourselves on delivering exceptional service and value to our clients in the legal profession. 

Position Overview: 

We are looking for a detail-oriented Audio Transcriber/Proofreader to join our team. This is an in-office role full time role. The primary responsibility of this role is to meticulously proofread verbatim legal transcripts against audio recordings to ensure 100% accuracy of all spoken words. The proofreader will play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of our transcripts, ensuring that all details, including proper nouns, legal terminology, and key facts, are accurate and consistent. Familiarity with MS Word and/or WordPerfect is essential, and the ability to work under tight deadlines, with a turnaround time of one business day, is a key requirement.

This position is critical to ensuring the quality and reliability of our legal transcripts. If you are an expert proofreader with a strong eye for detail, a keen ear for accuracy, and a solid understanding of the English language, we invite you to apply.

Key Responsibilities: 

  • Proofread Verbatim Transcripts: Carefully review legal transcripts by comparing them word-for-word against the provided audio recordings to ensure absolute accuracy. 
  • Resolve Discrepancies: Use independent judgment to address and resolve any discrepancies between the transcript and the audio recording. This includes correcting misheard words, unclear audio, and identifying any potential errors. 
  • Check Proper Nouns: Verify the accuracy of proper nouns, such as names, places, and organizations, by cross-referencing court reporter notes and using available online resources to ensure correct spelling and usage. 
  • Understand Legal and Governmental Terminology: Ensure that all legal and governmental terminology is correctly transcribed. Familiarity with legal jargon is important, though the ability to research and verify terms is also critical. 
  • Maintain Accuracy Under Tight Deadlines: Deliver proofread transcripts within the required turnaround time of one business day while maintaining a high level of accuracy. 
  • Independent Problem Solving: Identify and resolve inconsistencies or unclear portions of the transcript using available tools and resources, ensuring the final product is accurate and reliable.

Qualifications: 

  • Proficiency in MS Word and/or WordPerfect: Ability to efficiently make corrections and format documents in these programs. 
  • Strong Command of the English Language: Exceptional grammar, spelling, and language skills are essential. 
  • Keen Hearing and Attention to Detail: Must be able to discern subtle differences in audio, including identifying misheard or unclear passages, and ensure every word is correctly captured. 
  • Research Skills: Ability to independently verify proper nouns and other specifics using court reporter notes and online resources. 
  • Ability to Work Under Pressure: Ability to meet tight deadlines without sacrificing accuracy. 
  • Strong Independent Judgment: Must have the confidence to make decisions on corrections and clarify transcript content without constant oversight.
  • Prior experience in legal transcription or proofreading preferred.
  • Willing to go through Federal background check process
