Oklahoma Certified Shorthand Reporters Application is an application process for individuals seeking to become a certified shorthand reporter in the state of Oklahoma. It is a two-step process which requires applicants to first pass a written examination and then pass a speed and accuracy test. The written examination covers topics such as court reporting techniques, English grammar, and legal terminology. The speed and accuracy test measures an applicant’s speed and accuracy in taking down spoken words. Once applicants have successfully completed both tests, they are granted a certificate of registration which makes them eligible to practice court reporting in Oklahoma. There are two types of Oklahoma Certified Shorthand Reporters Applications: the Initial Application and the Renewal Application. The Initial Application is for those seeking to become a certified shorthand reporter for the first time. The Renewal Application is for those who already hold a certificate of registration and are looking to renew their certification. Both applications require applicants to pass the written examination and speed and accuracy test.
