Realtime Captioner

VITAC’s Realtime Captioner employees are highly skilled court reporters who caption live programming with 98% accuracy. Captions are “written” on a steno machine, translated by a computer, and instantaneously translated into words through special software using dictionaries developed, updated and maintained by the individual captioner. Captions appear seconds after the spoken words, therefore, the captioner needs not only be very accurate on the steno machine, but must be able to quickly recognize and process words, maintain composure in stressful situations and be technically savvy.

VITAC is looking for experienced steno-based realtime writers, 95,000 annual hours of popular programming. Networks served by VITAC include:

• ABC
• CBS
• NBC
• CNN and CNN Headline News
• The Weather Channel
• Discovery Channel
• Fox Sports Nets
• CSPAN
• BET

… and many more!

VITAC offers outstanding benefits, including paid training and equipment. For more details, see our brochure or contact realtime.employment@vitac.com. (Please note: the above email address is for realtime captioners only.
