Features

One workspace for the whole job.

StenoDesk brings job tracking, scheduling, case prep, proofing, files, invoicing, and financial tracking into one connected workspace. Set it up around your rates, workflow, fields, house style, and dashboard, so you do not have to change the way you work to fit the software.

Run the job

Everything the job needs, all in one place.

Create the job once. From there, deadlines, parties, prep, files, billing, and workflow stay connected to it. Choose the stages and fields that fit your practice, and every new job follows your setup.

Jobs & workflows

See where every job stands, what is due next, and what needs your attention. Clear workflow stages keep the work moving from assignment to completion.

Deadline calendar

Your depo is on the calendar. So is the turnaround, the expedite, and everything due after it. StenoDesk keeps the whole timeline together and synchronized with your Google or Outlook calendar.

Email intake

Connect Gmail or Outlook and turn a notice email into a job, with the caption, date, parties, and other details carried over for you.

Cast of characters

Enter parties, attorneys, witnesses, and experts once. Use those details throughout your appearance page, exhibit index, glossary, and CAT dictionary.

Glossary builder

Build a verified spelling list from your case files, including names, terminology, variants, and notes, ready to export to your CAT dictionary.

Search everything

One search across jobs, clients, contacts, files, and invoices. Find the thing you need without remembering which folder, spreadsheet, or app you put it in.

Do the work

The transcript, from rough draft to certified.

The parts of the job that eat your evening should not have to. Keep the second read, page counts, exhibits, working files, and final delivery connected to the job instead of scattered across different tools.

Proofing tools

A line-by-line second read built around court-reporting standards and your house style. Every finding includes the page and line, clear fixes stay separate from what you should verify, and the verbatim record stays untouched.

Page counts and pace

See how many pages you have completed, how quickly the job is moving, and what remains before the deadline. Your monthly totals update as you work.

Files & exhibits

Keep case materials, exhibits, work files, and final transcripts with the job, organized in folders you control.

Documents in the browser

Open PDFs, Word documents, and spreadsheets without leaving the job. Mark up or sign a PDF and save it back where it belongs.

Sharing you control

Share a specific file with a specific person using a link you can deactivate or set to expire. You decide who receives access and for how long.

From your phone

Photograph an exhibit at the deposition and add it directly to the job before you leave.

Backed up to your own cloud

Connect Dropbox or Google Drive and every file on a job copies into your own account automatically, in a folder you control. StenoDesk never touches anything else in your cloud, and you can disconnect whenever you like.

Messages

Message your editors inside StenoDesk, with the conversation tied to the job you are talking about, instead of scrolling back through a text thread to find it.

Your own dashboard

Arrange the panels you care about on tabs you name: what is due this week, where your income comes from, how your editors are doing, and how the month is shaping up.

Get paid

The business side, without the spreadsheet gymnastics.

Rate sheets, invoices, payments, editor expenses, and client information all stay with the work they belong to. No separate spreadsheet required to remember what was billed, paid, or still needs attention.

Rate sheets & billing

Save each client's rates once: originals, copies, expedite tiers, rough drafts, realtime, per diems, appearances, overtime, and the other details that make reporter billing anything but simple. StenoDesk applies the right rates to each job.

Invoices & payments

Turn a completed job into an itemized invoice, send it, and record full or partial payments until the balance is cleared.

Editor pay and 1099s

Know what you owe each editor as the work is completed instead of reconstructing it later. When tax season arrives, the year's payment totals are already organized.

Finances & insights

See what has been invoiced, what has been paid, and what is still outstanding. Understand where your income comes from and which balances need attention.

Your editors

Bring the scopists and proofreaders you already trust. Assign jobs, share only the files they need, and track the work and their invoices from your dashboard. Editors join free.

Clients & firms

Keep each client's rates, billing terms, contacts, invoice instructions, and complete job history in one organized record.
