PEPNet developed this online training to provide a general overview of speech-to-text services. You can learn more about various types of speech-to-text services, delivery options, and how to access the appropriateness of the service for individual students. Interviews with students have been included to allow viewers to hear directly from those utilizing the service. Also included are clips of the same lecture captioned with both meaning-for-meaning and verbatim services; so that viewers can compare the these methods.
The training is divided into four segments to make the download time faster. The four segments should be viewed in order and all together, as they make up one complete training. They are not intended to be viewed independently.
The information contained in the training is beneficial for service providers, coordinators and postsecondary administrators. While the information provided is in-depth, it is provided in a clear and easy to understand format. Extensive technical knowledge or understanding about speech-to-text services is not necessary to benefit from the training.
Once you have viewed the online training please contact PEPNet if you have additional questions about speech-to-text services.
There are six segments available with this training overview which includes an example of CART and C-Print. Each segment has two available video options that are captioned. Flash movie files provide the end user the ability to turn on/off the captions via the last icon on the video toolbar.

PEPNet has been a valuable resource to the University of Arizona for years. Using the listserv, we’ve been able to connect with other disability and higher education professionals and stay in up-to-date on emerging issues in deafness and education nationwide. We’ve even been able to locate and hire interpreters for study abroad assignments using the PEPNet network! Most recently, we were in need of information on amplification systems to support our city-wide book festival. The PEPNet team connected us with a colleague with extensive knowledge in assistive listening devices. Using the resources she provided, we found a perfect solution and were even able to serve as a source of information for another service provider who was seeking similar information. PEPNet is like having a team of colleagues in your pocket.
