WHY ARE WE SO HARD ON OURSELVES?23/9/2019 With captioning becoming more mainstream and making an appearance in all kinds of environments, the work is becoming more diverse and stenocaptioners are being exposed to more information and environments than ever.
Captioning is not an easy job. Caption accuracy is expected to be above 98% at all times, for some contracts above 98.5%. That is an incredibly small error margin. But as with a lot of things there’s too much focus on the negative. We tend to focus on the errors rather than realising how good the product actually is. And in terms of personnel, it is often forgotten how amazing the stenocaptioners are that maintain such a high level of accuracy. Let’s face it, if less than 2% is the error rate, then greater than 98% is RIGHT or ACCURATE. That level of skill is something to be celebrated. Our stenocaptioners are incredible stenographers, writing well in excess of those standards. Let’s take a moment to acknowledge the great work done by stenocaptioners all around this country – great people; amazing results.
