The advent of voice recognition technology has opened up a new category of professionals called voice writers. Voice writers use speech recognition software to translate spoken words to written words on a computer. Voice writers provide captioning for those who are deaf and hard of hearing, producing transcripts of recorded events and material, and real-time captioning for live television and webcast programming. A voice writer can work from home using their computer, a microphone, speech recognition software and an Internet connection.
CART Provider
A remote CART (Communication Access Realtime Translation) provides real-time captioning for deaf and hard of hearing students in schools. According to Verbatim Careers Institute, the the U.S. Americans with Disabilities Act requires that these students be provided accommodations so that they may attend regular classes. The CART provider can work from home by viewing and listening to a lecture online via remote technology like a web cam. The CART voice writer repeats the lecture using their hardware on their own computer at home. The software provided with the hardware translates the voice writer's words to printed words, which are then transmitted and displayed on to the student's laptop. Remote voice writers that provide CART services are usually paid hourly and many earn incomes of more than $50,000 per year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Closed Caption Voice Writer
According to Verbatim Careers Institute, voice writers can work from home providing closed caption for television programming. Previously recorded programs are captioned after filming is completed. Real-time closed captioning work for voice writers includes voice writing live news broadcasts, live talk shows and live sporting events. A closed caption voice writer can work from home as long as they have a high-speed Internet connection and the equipment and software to perform their job. The Federal Communications Commission has mandated closed captioning for television programming in the U.S., which has helped to create significant growth in the job market for closed caption voice writers.
Transcription
Voice writer transcriptionists perform the same functions as transcriptionists who use a word processor and a keyboard. The difference is that voice writers are not limited to one keystroke at a time. According to Verbatim Careers Institute, a voice writer speaks the recorded material that is then reproduced as a written transcript. Voice writing is less time consuming than type written transcription because it's not necessary to manually type the recorded material. Recorded letters, legal documents or physician notes can be transcribed more quickly by voice writers. Voice writers can work from home using their email to receive recorded files and return transcribed documents.
