wELCOME TO STARTRAN!

StarTran Realtime Theory, published by Santa Barbara Court Reporting Clinic, is a comprehensive, dynamic program for learning  computerized realtime machine shorthand used by today's professional court reporters, captioners, and high-speed transcriptionists (stenoscriptionists).    Theory is the main court reporting course that teaches you how to write on the steno machine. Once you complete StarTran Realtime Theory, you will be able to write anything you hear (in English), and you are ready to build speed without stopping!       

StarTran Realtime Theory coordinated textbook lessons, audio lessons, and computer tutor lessons were developed by  certified reporting instructor Marlene Struss and have been  used by students and teachers for over 15 years.  StarTran is one of the few court reporting theories awarded approval by the National Court Reporters Association.

StarTran is the only theory flexible, instructive, and comprehensive enough to be used:

  • in a formal classroom setting
  • for individualized instruction
  • long-distance learning, or
  • as your own self-taught home study course.
