THE PROFESSIONAL TRANSCRIBER’S CREED

My profession stems from humanity's desire and its necessity to preserve the happenings of yesterday and tomorrow.

My profession was born with the rise of civilization in ancient Greece. I was known as a scribe in Judea, Persia and the Roman Empire.

I preserved the Ten Commandments for posterity and was with King Solomon while building the temple.

I was with the founding fathers of the United States when they drafted the Declaration of Independence. My hand labored upon the scroll that set forth the Bill of Rights.

The immortal Abraham Lincoln entrusted me to record the Emancipation Proclamation.

I was commissioned to be with Roosevelt at Yalta. I was with Eisenhower on D-Day and with MacArthur at Tokyo.

I have kept confidence reposed with me by those in high places, as well as those in lowly places.

My profession protects the truthful witness, and I am a nemesis of the perjurer. I am a party to the administration of justice under the law and the court I serve.

I discharge my duties with devotion and honor. Perhaps I haven't made history, but I have preserved it through the ages.

In the past I was called a scribe. Today I am the transcriber who accompanies the president of the united states while in America and overseas and transcribes and preserves his words for posterity.

Every day I am at the United Nations where I transcribe the happenings of today for tomorrow.

I am employed by every court in the United States to transcribe court proceedings in every state.

I am employed in the United States Congress to transcribe the proceedings that affect every American.

I am often behind the scenes and seldom seen by the public, but I am the preserver of the history of the Western World.

I am the professional highly skilled transcriber!
