Angie Ryder
Advanced Eclipse Trainer
I have been in the court reporting industry since 2002. I am a certified advanced EclipseVox™ trainer, the EclipseVox instructor for the Academy of Voice Writing, and I can’t wait to be a part of helping students achieve their dream of working as a court reporter. I speak at national and state conventions, educating others in technology courses, Dragon, and Eclipse classes, as well as provide group and one-on-one training.
Before the Academy of Voice Writing, I taught both steno and voice students at the College of Court Reporting, until the college decided to no longer use Eclipse for any of their students. I strongly believe that EclipseVox is the best CAT program for voice writers, as its drop rate and features surpass any other program on the market, and Eclipse for steno writers is the eminent CAT program due to all of the functions available.
Prior to entering the court reporting industry, I taught SGML coding, cottage workers, and was a trainer for various companies. That background paved the way for me to become an advanced Eclipse trainer, and I encourage you to ask around about my training and teaching style. I work with both voice and steno reporters, and my experience and skills in Eclipse and computers, along with my teaching experiences, enable me to help others easily learn. I believe learning happens differently for each individual, and all training I do is geared to many different methods of instruction.

“I was fortunate to have had Angie for two semesters in school. She taught me Eclipse Basics in one semester and Eclipse Advanced in my next semester. She is a wealth of knowledge and knows the software like no other. Oftentimes when I couldn’t get help from the software support, I could always count on Angie to help me fix the problem. She made sure we understood the ins and outs of our software to ensure it would carry us beyond school and into our professional careers. Her teaching expertise is unmatched, and anyone who has a chance to learn from Angie is lucky. When it was time to test, Angie also assisted me and my classmate with much needed items to ensure our testing went as smoothly as possible. She always goes above and beyond.”

“Angie Ryder has been an exceptional resource for me as a student and as a working reporter. As my instructor during school, she would take her time explaining the various features of Eclipse until she was blue in the face. I learned about everything from the basics to advanced voice codes and macros. Once I graduated from school, she helped me develop my auto-indexing so that I can be more efficient with my transcripts. Even to this date, I am constantly working with her for guidance on anything software-related, including Dragon’s connection to Eclipse. Flexible, easy to work with, and dedicated support to make sure that we can come up with the best solution to my problem together, whatever Eclipse problems may arise. I cannot recommend Angie enough and will continue to rely on her expertise throughout my career.”

“I don’t know what I would do if it weren’t for Angie. Speaking as a former student of hers, Angie has a wealth of knowledge and passion for all things Eclipse and court reporting. I faced many technical challenges with my software, and she was always patient and persistent in solving the problem. She’s very responsive to all questions and will go the extra mile to ensure all her students understand the content, even if it means staying an extra hour with her students to answer questions.”

“After a 30-year teaching career, I decided to follow a completely different career path in court reporting/captioning. Fate was looking out for me when I was lucky enough to have Angie as one of my teachers. Speaking from first-hand experience, Angie has all the qualities of the very best teachers: She is knowledgeable, patient, dedicated, enthusiastic, and caring. And perhaps most important of all, she LOVES what she does. I know I wouldn’t have been as well-prepared as I was to enter the job market without Angie. Having her as my instructor was a game changer.”

“After my completion of the program, I felt thoroughly prepared and confident enough to tackle my state’s certification exams, some of the most rigorous in the nation. I went on to take the next available tests and passed all three legs of the skills test, as well as the written knowledge test with a 98%, and within 6 months of first starting the program, I was able to kick start the beginning of a rewarding career as a Certified Shorthand Reporter in the State of Texas."
"For anyone serious about pursuing a career in court reporting, the Academy of Voice Writing is the ultimate choice. It’s a place where you’ll receive unparalleled instruction from passionate experts and leave with the skills and confidence needed to thrive in the profession. I wholeheartedly recommend the Academy of Voice Writing — it’s where excellence in education and a genuine commitment to student success come together in perfect harmony.”
