Scoping is a little-known profession that has spent years in the shadows and is only known to a tight-knit group of legal professionals. Scoping is often confused with transcription because scopists also work with transcripts, but their load is a little lighter than the task of actually transcribing; they edit, format, and correct grammar and punctuation.
Over a decade ago, our CEO, Coralie, had recently moved from the U.S. to Sweden, and at that time, work-from-home jobs were very few and far between. She knew she wanted to leave the busy nine-to-five of management and wanted to have the flexibility of working from anywhere. Eventually, she was introduced to the world of proofreading and, through connections in the industry, started training as a scopist. Scoping gave her the flexibility and freedom she was craving but also fulfilled in her a need to do something that she could be proud of. As you can imagine, training on the job is not easy, and it left many gaps in her knowledge. Coralie wasn’t alone in this struggle and decided there must be a better way. So along with her colleagues, Heidi and Rachel, she began creating The Complete Scoping Course, and the rest is history, you could say.
Coralie is a bona fide word nerd; her love for grammar and punctuation is unparalleled. You’ll get to meet Coralie in our drop-in sessions and, of course, the grammar and punctuation section of the course. Her professional background is varied but is centered around management.
These days, when she isn’t scoping for American and European legal proceedings, she is enjoying her time with her husband and two small children and making the best use of her flexible schedule to do things she enjoys, like hiking, running, and writing. Coralie is knowledgeable, kind, and a great communicator. Our students feel confident in going to Coralie for punctuation and grammar questions in the drop-in sessions and in one-on-one coaching.
“Working with Coralie getting this new career under my belt has just been a great experience. Throughout the Scoping International course, my questions and confusion were quickly addressed and worked out. Coralie’s explanations and guidance were so clear and helpful, I was always left feeling more confident and excited to start scoping a real job! But it did not end at my completing the course! True to her word at the beginning of the course, she would help me as I began scoping for real. I enjoy this job, and I know that’s very much due to Coralie expecting correctness and helping me get there with reasonableness and patience.”

Heidi is a cofounder, curriculum designer, and CFO of Scoping International. She has over 20 years in the corporate training sphere, including corporate curriculum development. Heidi worked for financial institutions and the federal government in very structured positions. She holds a degree in adult education and brings a vast variety of knowledge with her.
Heidi was seeking more flexibility in her schedule and was introduced to scoping through Scoping International’s cofounder Coralie. She has worked as a scopist since her training and is an invaluable member of the teams she works on. Heidi possesses fine organizational skills and unparalleled attention to detail. When Heidi isn’t scoping or steeped in course development, she loves to spend time with her husband, traveling and checking out new restaurants in the city.
You will gain confidence in Heidi as you get to know her through the training videos in the course. She also conducts one-on-one training calls for our students. Her communication style is friendly and direct. Our students often say she is easy to understand, and they feel comfortable coming to her with course questions.
This is what a recent grad has to say about Heidi:
“Heidi always responded to any questions I had right away. I love that whenever she was helping me, she gave real-life examples of similar situations she encounters in her job with her own court reporting clients.”

Rachel Artis is a cofounder of Scoping International. She has unique training as a scopist because she started her career as a court reporting student. Rachel is known in the industry as a scopist, coach, and speaker. She has been in the industry for over 10 years. Not only is she the CEO of her own scoping and proofreading firm, Sopherim & Associates LLC, but she is also our resident software expert.
Her passion is to teach and support others in building a career in scoping with the freedom to dream of entrepreneurship and work-life balance.
Rachel is a go-getter, up to date with industry standards, and she is ready to pass on her knowledge to you as a Scoping International student. Rachel is the software instructor, and you will find her training videos to be full of all the right information you need to become proficient in scoping software. Students love Rachel’s approachable demeanor, and she is available for one-on-one calls throughout The Complete Scoping Course.
Rachel has also recently completed her bachelor’s degree in International Business Etiquette & Integrity from USILACS. She is a lifelong learner, and what she loves most about this industry is that whatever you desire is attainable; it’s not something that’s only available if you have a certain background, financial status, or influential connections.
A working scopist who trained with Rachel says:
“By means of the training I have received from Rachel, I can say I have a good handle on it. I appreciate her patience and her willingness to answer all questions. They are all welcomed. Her one-on-ones are priceless, and she will do everything in her power to help you.”

[Scoping International] Communicate and train with the goal of getting students ahead of the game, not just trained with the bare minimum needed to begin as a scopist.”
Rachel does a good job of explaining things clearly and easily.
I really like the sense of humor that it’s written with, and I like the videos a lot.
I loved that all three of you were present for this drop-in session because it gave us the opportunity to hear the different perspectives to the questions we had. I also appreciated your enthusiasm and all the encouragement you gave to your students. We felt your care! Thank you for that.”
“After I finished the course, the team really helped me with my first jobs. They were always there to answer questions and give advice.”
“All three of you really make the course less stressful and students more confident in the course because of how you work together and treat each other.”
