Where Professionals
Come to Grow.

Access Transcripts Pro was founded by Ilene Watson and Lisa Luciano, two court transcriptionists with over 45 years of combined experience who built a nationally recognized transcription agency from the ground up. After more than two decades in the field, they created this platform to give court transcriptionists the expert guidance and professional resources to help them grow, improve, and build lasting careers.

To give every court transcriptionist, whether new to the field or years into a career, direct access to substantive, expert-level guidance from practitioners who are still actively working in the industry every day.

We are not educators who studied transcription. We are court transcriptionists who have spent decades producing work for federal and state courts, building an agency, and shaping the standards that govern the profession through our roles at AAERT. Every resource we offer is grounded in that firsthand experience.

We built this for the transcriptionist who takes their work seriously, whether you are preparing to enter the field, working to raise your standard, or pursuing professional certification. If you want honest, expert feedback and real professional development, you are in the right place.
