Why reporters need time back
The reporter shortage, in numbers.
21%
Fewer stenographers in the US over the last decade, leaving about 23,000.
74%
Drop in enrollment at stenography schools over the same period.
33%
Of US court reporters and simultaneous captioners are self-employed, among about 19,900 jobs in 2025.
AAERT is the association for digital reporters and commissioned its study, so read those figures as an advocate's. BLS projects no change in total jobs from 2025 to 2035. Fewer reporters and flat headcount mean more files per reporter, which is the problem HeyDonna is built for.
From the pilot
What transcriptionists say.
A lengthy four-hour file gets formatted in under 5 to 10 minutes, and the results are remarkably accurate. Once I export the DOCX, I barely need to make any additional edits before delivering it to the customer.
HeyDonna puts editing, formatting and proofreading all under one roof. I can proofread the transcript, format sections, swap speakers and run spellcheck without leaving the editor.
HeyDonna has enabled me to finish files much faster than I was able before, increasing my overall workflow. The auto-proofreading and auto-formatting processes have been the greatest help as HeyDonna gives a better and near accurate output than traditional ASR.
Starting with a transcript that is already formatted and proofread … cuts my turnaround time in half. HeyDonna allows me to spend less time editing and more time delivering quality work.
What is HeyDonna?
HeyDonna is an AI transcript editor for digital court reporters and legal transcriptionists. It drafts, proofreads and formats a transcript in your template, tracks every edit, and leaves the review and certification to you.
Does it work with my CAT software?
HeyDonna is not CAT software and does not capture live. It exports DOCX, and RTF for court reporting (CAT) software, as the editor menu docs describe. Try an export on a real file first.
Do I certify?
Yes.
Will my format survive?
Template-based export.
What does it cost?
1 credit = $0.01. 2,500 free credits, then $5, $25 or $100 packs.
What if I disagree with an edit?
Reject it.
Is it ready?
Public beta.
