Realtime Reporting: Court Reporting & Captioning

Green River College ETPL

The BAS in Realtime Reporting: Court Reporting & Captioning is designed to prepare students for employment in the fields of realtime official and freelance judicial reporting, broadcast captioning, or educational captioning, also known as CART (Communication Access Realtime Translation). Realtime court reporters record the verbatim proceedings of a courtroom, deposition, hearing, arbitration, or meeting and provide an accurate transcript of the proceedings. Realtime captioners are specially trained court reporters called stenocaptioners. They provide captions of live television programs and other media, or classes, meetings, conferences, church services, etc., to provide instant conversion of speech to text for people with hearing loss. These high-tech career fields utilize a steno machine, specialized machine shorthand theory, and computer software to translate the spoken word to readable text via digital output or transcripts. Green River's Court Reporting and Captioning program is approved by the National Court Reporters Association.
