Advanced Realtime Techniques: Strategies for Captioning and Beyond

With an 18-year career in court reporting and captioning, Lindsay Stoker is renowned for her expertise and commitment to excellence. As a sought-after speaker and “realtime heavyweight,” she has provided live captioning for leading tech giants (Meta, X, Google, Sony, Microsoft, GitHub), major investment firms, gaming conferences, and government proceedings.

Lindsay also covers complex litigation with remarkable speed and accuracy, spanning maritime, environmental, pharmaceuticals, toxic tort, intellectual property, antitrust, securities, class actions, defamation matters, and even the Oscars.  

Her leadership roles include serving on the NCRA CRC Committee — eventually chairing it — and contributing to the NCRA STRONG and Skills Test Committees. This involvement demonstrates her technical mastery and passion for professional excellence.

Kelly Linkowski has been captioning since 2003 from both the comforts of home and around the world. She believes passionately in communication accessibility, with captions being a part of the universal planning of all events, conferences, and entertainment — not as an accommodation but as equal access. Linkowski has been a stenographic reporter since 1993. "Our career has offered me the opportunity to schedule work around our family's schedules and needs, never having to figure out how to schedule things with work as the epicenter. I love this profession." Linkowski served as the 2019-2020 Ohio Court Reporters Association President and volunteers on caption-related committees for NCRA.
