CleverCynic Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 I had thought it was all automated voice recognition these days? Well, if not, I wouldn't spend a lot on the training since it will inevitably go there if not overseas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldbug Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 Maybe they will outsource to India, that ought to be good for a few laughs! Some Indian guy called me awhile back to sell something, identified himself as "Judy".Goldbug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If yes then see your vocational rehabilitation counselor in your state for free training.If no, look for captioning devices that are on loan. For example, in my state we have free devices on loan. Google "Boston WBGH-TV closed captioning", then contact them, they can guide you to how to get these devices in your state. You may be able to teach yourself how to do it. There a big need for captioning as captioning telephones for the hearing impaired is a huge demand. There may be a call center and home based work. Check it out, it can't hurt. Hope that helps a bit and good Luck!!!.Suki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubbaboo Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 A friend from long ago got into this and loved it. He was a court reporter so those skills helped. But I have no idea how to get into it. Just that it is not a bad occupation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
