The National Court Reporters Foundation (NCRF) has announced its 2026 Stenograph NexGen Writer fundraiser — a chance to win a cutting-edge Stenograph writer while making a meaningful impact on the mission of NCRF, which supports all NCRA members.
“NCRF is deeply grateful for Stenograph’s longstanding commitment to both NCRF and NCRA,” said NCRF Board of Trustees Chair Doug Friend, FAPR, RDR, CRR (Ret.). “Their continued support strengthens our mission year after year and helps ensure that we can keep advancing the court reporting and captioning professions.”
This year’s covetedStenograph NexGen writer was generously donated by Stenograph and is valued at more than $5,000. Whether for a student, new professional, or seasoned reporter, this state-of-the-art writer represents the next generation of stenographic innovation — and one of our raffle ticket purchasers will win it.
