9/21/2020- Urgent Need for Realtime Captioners
InnoCaption is the first and only mobile app for the deaf and hard of hearing that provides real-time captioning of phone calls primarily through stenographers. Our service is free for anyone in the United States with hearing loss because our service is certified by the FCC and paid for through a federal program. Demand for our captioning service has been skyrocketing this year as many people across the country stay at home and make more phone calls for work, health care needs, and to stay in touch with family and friends. To keep up with this growing demand we are actively recruiting additional stenographers to our platform every week.
What we offer stenographers:
We offer stenographers complete flexibility with work hours, and the ability to work safely and conveniently from home. Working with us also does not require any prep work or pages afterward, as the service is all about live captioning of phone calls. Most importantly, working with us means making an enormous impact in the daily lives of deaf and hard-of-hearing people across the country.
InnoCaption’s proprietary software interface connects with standard CAT software (Case Catalyst, Eclipse, Pro CAT, Digital CAT) so stenographers just need a reliable hard-wired internet connection and a private place to work from. Many of our current stenographers work with us to have a steady source of income in-between CART and other work due to our flexibility. We have also had successful cases of graduating students contracting with us as an initial job to build their skills and dictionaries. We offer our contractors all-in hourly rates of $30-45 per hour, depending on qualifications, experience and intensity of call volumes during a given shift.
If you are interested, please apply by contacting us at stenos@innocaption.com.
