CTRP2202

Students continue to learn to transcribe the spoken word by means of Dragon software, CaseCatalyst and stenomask. Students research various employment avenues for voice writers. Students must be able to transcribe three 5-minute dictations of unfamiliar material in the following areas: 80 wpm on literary material, 90 wpm on jury charge material, and 110 wpm on two-voice material. All speed takes must be transcribed with a minimum of 95 percent accuracy or higher. Testing material used for speed takes will be given at incremental speeds on unfamiliar material; the same material will not be used more than once every six months. Successful completion of the course requires a grade of C- or better. The course includes online computer-aided technology for realtime translation.
