Captioning and Court Reporting

Captioners and court reporters are highly skilled professionals who transcribe speech at speeds of 225 words per minute (wpm) and higher. Using an electronic shorthand machine and sophisticated computer technology, reporters translate a conversation virtually simultaneously to the printed word.

Working as a captioner or court reporter is a profession like no other. No two days are alike, and you learn fascinating new information every day. 

NAIT offers the only captioning and court reporting program in Western Canada approved by the National Court Reporters Association — a 35,000 member organization based in the United States. Consequently, the program is well-regarded and graduates obtain employment not only across Canada and the United States, but also around the world.
