How fast can a court reporter type?

A stenographer is required to pass an RPR exam in most states.To earn your RPR, you'll also have to pass three sections of a skills test that evaluates you in three areas:

• Literary at 180 wpm
• Jury Charge at 200 wpm
• Testimony/Q&A at 225 wpm

After dictation, you have 75 minutes to transcribe your notes from each leg. You must have 95% accuracy on each leg to pass.
