Becoming a stenographer?

I'm taking my first court reporting class for the program. I'd like to stay on top of this from day one. From what I read, the biggest issue people have is getting their typing speed up to the required standards. My question is...

How much should I be practicing each day (or hours per week) ????

    Probably about an hour or so a day is good for a start. Try listening to friend's and family member's conversations and typing them as fast as you can.

    There will continue to be a need for court reporters. Although, the position is shifting to the private sector. Yes, more courts are installing digital audio recorders in the courtrooms. But when a party needs a transcript, the recording is pulled and a transcript is created. Some courts hire another firm to transcribe the recording. Also, court reporters are still needed for depositions and other hearings.
