"A trained operator, called a C-Print captionist, produces text of the spoken
information using a software application called C-Print Pro.
The captionist is skilled in text-condensing strategies and in typing
using an abbreviation system, which reduces keystrokes. The text can
be displayed simultaneously to one or more students in different ways,
including additional computers (laptops) or display monitors.
The captionist includes as much information as possible, generally
providing a meaning-for-meaning (not verbatim) translation of the
spoken English content.
C-Print Pro software is specifically designed for providing
C-Print speech-to-text services, and allows the captionist to input
text using a keyboard abbreviation system and/or voice. After class,
the text can be provided in paper or electronic format for the student
to use as notes."
