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

After qualifying in 1995 I moved to London and worked in the criminal courts. On my return to Ireland, I became a realtime writer in 2002, working on high-profile public tribunals in Ireland. I have vast experience in civil court hearings, tribunals of inquiry, disciplinary hearings, arbitrations, and private corporate interviews. I am a Registered Professional Reporter (RPR) and a Registered Merit Reporter (RMR). Most of my career has been as a realtime writer.
