Speech to Text


Captioning for events, talks, conferences and online events

is also known as speech-to-text. A captioner transcribes every word a speaker says using an electronic shorthand keyboard which allows them to type phonetically (how words sound rather than how they are spelt). The words are then immediately converted back into English text by a computer software program, enabling the captioner to keep up with the speed of what’s being said.

For more information about captioning for events, talks, conferences and online events contact MyClearText on enquiries@mycleartext.com or 086 178 4783.
