About the Captioning Community Click here for the CART/Captioner Reporters Member Directory Database Most Americans rely on television for the news, information and entertainment it provides. But for more than 24 million Americans who are deaf or hard of hearing, television is either partially or completely inaccessible without captioning. Due to the constant and ever-increasing need for captioning of live programming (news, special reports, sports, etc.), becoming a real-time stenographer offers the opportunity to provide a vital public service as a valued professional in a rapidly growing field. The ability to provide real-time captioning marries the skills of a court stenographer with computer technology. Stenocaptioners type words as they are spoken, producing captions that are broadcast simultaneously with the live program. Skills required for stenocaptioning Most stenocaptioners are graduates of court reporting schools. Click here to view the members of the ICRA Captioning/CART Committee. |
