What skills should I look for when hiring a realtime captioner?
A realtime captioner should be able to write in excess of 225 words per minute. The captioners of Riverside Captioning Company write well above that, and we guarantee an accuracy rate of at least 98.5%. Captioning is a work of endurance: A captioner should be able to concentrate for long periods of time, demonstrate expansive knowledge of the English language, and have the ability to develop an encyclopedic dictionary containing terms specific to the specialties she covers. The captioners of Riverside Captioning Company have built elaborate dictionaries, including a sizeable Bible dictionary to support our religious captioning specialty. Finally, reliability, flexibility and great work ethics are a must for successful captioning.
