Proofing tools

A second read built by reporters, for reporters.

Not a generic grammar checker with legal words added to it. StenoDesk reviews your final ASCII line by line against transcript standards and your house style. Every finding includes the exact page and line, clear corrections stay separate from what you should verify, and the verbatim record stays untouched.

How it works

Useful findings. Less noise.

Every finding tells you what it found, exactly where it found it, and whether it is something to fix or something to verify. No vague suggestions to send you hunting through the transcript.

Verify before flag

If a finding cannot be tied to a specific page and line, it stays quiet. No vague possibilities and no unnecessary noise.

Fix vs. double-check

Clear mechanical corrections are kept separate from names, numbers, dates, and other details that require your judgment.

Substance vs. mechanics

Focus on substantive issues for a quick rough-draft review, or include mechanical findings when preparing the transcript for certification.

Your house style

Double hyphens, a.m. and p.m. casing, exhibit notation, preferred spellings, and the conventions you choose, applied consistently.

Tuned to the work

It knows transcripts, not just English.

Forum aware

StenoDesk reads the caption and job details first, then applies the conventions relevant to the proceeding, including civil, workers' compensation, interpreted, and other transcript formats.

Source-of-truth spellings

Your case glossary becomes the authority. Correct names stay unflagged, while known variants and misrenders are compared with your preferred spellings.

Deterministic checks

Calendar dates, day-of-week references, and CSR number consistency are checked against exact values rather than guessed.

Verbatim, always

StenoDesk suggests. You decide. Speaker wording may be surfaced for review, but it is never silently rewritten. The record stays the record.

Page and line citations

Every finding points to the exact page and line and includes the surrounding context, so you can go directly to it in your CAT software.

Built for trust

The same issue gets the same correction throughout the transcript. No contradictory suggestions, duplicate findings, or flags that do not actually change anything.

Proof faster. Second-guess less.
