Do you boldly navigate your career? Are you curious how CART and Closed Captioners navigate realtime outputs, including troubleshooting and multiple concurrent output feeds to different programs? Are you familiar and comfortable utilizing all the goodies your CAT Software has to support beautiful realtime, such as phonetic tables, macros, one-word delay settings, stitching commands, mistran suggestion settings, and more? Are you utilizing non-CAT tools such as scheduling portals, verified open-source materials, secured cloud storage, and social media to support your brand?
Join Thomas Herman, CART Captioner and Star Trek fan, as he uses a dual timeline of the pop culture phenomenon Star Trek (STEM professionals often cite Star Trek, including NASA!) and stenographic captioners' impact on technology through the years. It is time to remind stenographers of the where we’ve been and where we’re going; the technology we’ve used and outlived and the ethical concerns of current technology.
Why use Star Trek to frame a CART career and all the realtime tricks that will be shared with attendees, you may ask. Whether you’re a fan (Trekker) or not, whether you’re interested in CART or not, Star Trek framed a future where varied people from all walks of life worked together for the common good. Despite fantastic technology, they always showed a human at the helm, including Court Reporters at proceedings.
