I am the most accurate, reliable way to convert the spoken word to text.

I’m fluent in a language that allows me to make a transcript of the English language as fast as humans can speak it. I’m a master of technology, and I’m committed to constantly learning and improving my skills. I’m a service provider and a knowledge expert. There’s no way Siri could do my job.

I am a court reporter

I provide access to those who can’t hear.

In the classroom, at community events, and whenever I’m needed, I provide an instantaneous written stream to those with hearing loss. I level the playing field. I open doors of information.

I am a CART captioner

I am the reason those words scroll on the TV.

Being a captioner for broadcast and live events puts my realtime skills to the test. They speak; I write. My steno is instantly translated to English with impressive accuracy given the speed at which this process happens.

I am a captioner

I’m a grammar geek. I’m good with technology. I’m dedicated to training for a career that inspires me. I’m disciplined, and I’m becoming a better version of me.

I am a court reporting student
