access to spoken conversation.

My TypeWell training and subsequent employment have truly been a blessing in my life. They’ve opened the door to meeting great people, to experiencing classes I never would have attended and learning new things there, and to a job I enjoy which helps provide for my family. I also love transcribing because of the feeling that what I’m doing in the moment is immediately making communication/information more accessible to the reader(s).

I’ve been TypeWell transcribing, whether full-time or part-time, for 9 years. Over those years this has been an incredibly fulfilling, enjoyable, and adaptable career. I’ve developed a lot of affection for the people I’ve worked with even though I never met most of them face to face. I also know that this work allowed my life a kind of flexibility that few other kinds of work would; for that, and for the sense of purpose it provided, I’m incredibly grateful to have been part of this community.

TypeWell features an outstanding dictionary and excellent training methods, with immediate feedback throughout training. Their teaching and support team is knowledgeable and experienced and they’re always willing to troubleshoot.

In my personal work as a service provider and organizer, TypeWell has been a powerful resource for providing communication access to consumers. When the need for a concise and faithful record of the speaker’s message is vital, the meaning-for-meaning transcripts created through the TypeWell method have been an effective alternative to verbatim captioning. I hear frequently from clients who tell me that transcribing has significantly improved their quality of life.

Our captioning company started as a CART-only business. We soon discovered that many students actually preferred TypeWell. We began providing TypeWell services to schools and came to love it ourselves. Today, many of our business and organizational clients use TypeWell for meetings and webinars. It’s a great, sometimes underrated product.

I truly appreciate the incredible training TypeWell provides. When I need more transcribers, I use TypeWell’s efficient online screening tools to filter out all but the best candidates. I then sponsor their enrollment in TypeWell’s basic skills course knowing they will receive excellent training and personal attention. This allows me to maintain focus on the daily task of service coordination. I check in with the trainees as needed and am always kept abreast of their progress by their instructor. TypeWell’s training process and staff are phenomenal.

When I first started my M.B.A., I was unsure whether the TypeWell accommodation would really help me to fully understand whole class session without missing any important words. However, I quickly realized that the professional transcribers could capture all of the professor’s vocabulary, my classmates’ questions, and even noise in the classroom. I was able to keep pace with the class. It was also helpful to review the transcript afterward.
