Need Advice Tousi, Sigh. I used to be a really good speller -- but court reporting actually ruins that. We write kat and, believe it or not, tkaug is the way we spell dog!! I know ASL is considered a separate language -- the our way of writing is like a different language. Why just the...

Need Advice Y, Thank you very much for your input. Donna Sorkin is unfamiliar to me. I have met with Esther Kelly, officer and past pres. of a Texas chapter of SHHH, and she's an author and is employed at the Deaf Learning Center in Plano. I've been honest on these posts -- captioning is...

Solution to Captioning Crisis One of the major obstacles in captioning is a lack of captioners, not just funding. When I took the state license exam to become a certified court reporter, there were over 400 others taking the same test. Only 23 of us passed at that time. Now the exam has less...

Captioning Screw-Up Nesmuth, I see you are a professional in the HOH organizations. Please read my posting "I need Advice." I really, really do need advice. I'm so angry that I put in so many hours building my dictionary, trying to caption, doing research - and now the State won't recognize...

Captioning Screw-Up I didn't think you were being critical and I wasn't offended at all. I've seen my own mistakes!! Preacher once said after we die, we would fly. Well, I wrote after we die, we would fry! The worst was when preacher said, when Jesus performed a miracle, He "dipped into his...

Captioning Screw-Up Thank you both for your replies. I think, and maybe I'm biased because I'm a reporter, captioning is far superior to voice recognition software. That still has so many bugs to work out. One of the biggest bugs is word boundaries. Voice recog. scans its databases for a...

I'm a NJ court reporter very interested in the possibility of captioning. This is a very tough thing to do, but I've been working on my realtime reporting skills. In NJ a court reporter must be licensed (the test has a lower pass rate than the bar!), and many fail. I've been doing this for...

Captioning Screw-Up This is my first post on these boards. I stumbled onto this site and found it very interesting. Upfront, you should know I have no problems with hearing. I am a NJ court stenographer hoping to better understand the needs of the hearing-impaired and how to use my skills in...
