The National Registers of Communication Professionals working with Deaf and Deafblind People (NRCPD) “exist to protect the public by regulating communication and language professionals who work with deaf and deafblind people.” This organisation has registrants from a number of professions, including Speech-to-Text Reporters, lipspeakers and sign language interpreters.

Whilst it is not currently mandatory for STTRs/captioners to be on the Register, many of our members are long-standing registrants and submit Continuing Professional Development units for this purpose.

About

In 1993 I completed my reporting qualification (225 wpm) from Court Reporting Inc. Plainview, NY.
2000 - 2001
BBC Captioning Training Programme
2001 – 2018
Working within the Access Services Department during transitions through Red Bee Media and later Ericsson, I worked across all channels at BBC, Sky News, Sky Sports, Channel 4, Channel 5 and BT Sport, captioning all genres including news, documentary, sports, and entertainment.
2018 - Present
I now enjoy providing verbatim real-time, speech-to-text communication support, onsite or remotely for clients and for larger audiences in lectures, conferences, galleries, and for theatre and the arts.
