These competencies ensure that real-time transcriptions are accurate, clear, and helpful for students or professionals who rely on them for communication access.

What does a typical day look like for a Typewell Transcriber, and how do they interact with students and instructors?

You'll use specialized Typewell software to capture spoken content and deliver accessible notes to clients, often students who are Deaf or hard of hearing. Interactions with students and instructors are professional yet collaborative, ensuring you understand any subject-specific terminology or client needs. While much of the work is focused and independent, clear communication with your team and the people you support is essential for delivering accurate and timely transcriptions.
