As a substitute for State licensure, the National Verbatim Reporters Association offers three national certifications to voice writers: Certified Verbatim Reporter (CVR), the Certificate of Merit (CM), and Real-Time Verbatim Reporter (RVR). Earning these certifications is sufficient to be licensed in States where the voice method of court reporting is permitted.

There's a further analysis that can be done, but a lot of that hinges on affect on market for the work that you're quoting, really; I'm guessing that's not going to be a huge issue. While the portion of the material… [cont.]
