Broadcast Captioning Career

There are an estimated 28 million deaf or hard-of-hearing individuals in the United States. A television closed captioning career is attainable through StenoTech’s Court/Conference Reporting program. Captioning gives court reporters both a lucrative and psychologically rewarding opportunity to assist the hearing-impaired community by providing captions of live and prerecorded events at the bottom of their TV screen. Live captioning is accomplished by means of “realtime translation,” which instantly broadcasts in English what the reporter is taking down on the stenowriter, be it the news, emergency broadcasts, presidential debates, or the Olympics. This specialized reporter is increasingly in demand, as the Federal Communications Commission now requires that all television programming be captioned.

The foundation for an exciting broadcast captioning career begins with the stenotype skills acquired at StenoTech Career Institute today!
