Captioning - D

Posted: May 30, 2012

I have an opportunity for a position and am being required to do a quiz on captioning. Now, while I know what this is, I haven't a clue as to how to do it! They've basically given me a paragraph and are asking me to break it up for captioning. I'm clueless on this! Can anyone help? I'm a newbie and would like a chance at this position... Thanks in advance!

I do not have help, but I'm taking a shot in the dark, but I believe your best information will be found online. Have you Googgled it? "how to test for captioning test" or something like that. Best wishes on your test!

I have been doing some research on closed captioning and CART jobs/career. I searched the archives here, also.

And, if you have a medical background, you get paid more as we are in high demand and would mean more pay. Again, just a thought and am definitely excited ...

How did you get started? What software did you use? It seems like the pay is good but there are a lot of qualifications & it's more geared to court reporters (like, requiring a court reporting certificate, etc.). ...

I see some listed online but not sure what's legit. Want to branch out from MT work. TIA. ...

Hey guys, the other day I tested a software program called VoxcribeCC, it works well on videos. If you do closed captioning or subtitling, it really eases the task with its speech recognition and time stamping functions. Accuracy is pretty high. I think it is way more powerful than dragon ...

Would that maybe be an option for those of us in need for work? That's not something I'd think would be going away and I remember hearing years ago that the pay was better than MT. Though what's happened to that field in the years since, I have no clue. I just can't imagine that every being outsourced. ...
