Are you a C-Print captionist looking to expand your skills and job opportunities? Now is the perfect time to switch to TypeWell!  Summertime is an ideal season to make the switch, since most people find it challenging to continue using C-Print abbreviations while learning the TypeWell abbreviations.

Why should you consider making the switch to TypeWell?

Upgrade Your STEM Skills with Math Mode

“I need more service providers adept in STEM content areas and I would be reluctant to hire someone who couldn’t keep up in those classes. The Math Mode Dictionary is a particular strength of the TypeWell system, and I have yet to see other systems match its capabilities in STEM classes.”

— Gretchen Rumsey-Richardson, Communication Access Manager
Western Washington University

Supported Software with an Extensive Dictionary

We interviewed employers at agencies and educational institutions who are familiar with both platforms, and here are the reasons they highlighted for switching from C-Print to TypeWell: 

• Reliable streaming text platform: TypeWell’s Web Linking feature is free, included with the software, and extremely reliable compared to C-Print’s linking service.
• Strong STEM capabilities: TypeWell efficiently handles content in STEM fields, which is crucial for many service providers.
• Superior technical support: TypeWell’s extensive knowledgebase, quick troubleshooting response, and ongoing support set it apart from C-Print.
• The huge dictionary: TypeWell’s dictionary has grown to 4 million words, without sacrificing its usability. And that’s just English! Proficient users can also switch into Math Mode, French, and Spanish. 
• The abbreviation system: Many users find TypeWell’s shorthand patterns more intuitive than C-Print’s phonetic abbreviations.
• Community and networking opportunities: TypeWell offers a strong network and community of transcribers and employers through platforms like Google Groups and social media.

What’s more, during the training, we’ll provide a free copy of TypeWell Everywhere so you can immediately begin practicing with TypeWell in your everyday typing tasks, such as emails and reports.

Experienced Teachers are Ready to Help You

While it’s not easy to re-learn keyboard usage and switch from phonetic to spelling-based abbreviations, it is possible. Over the course of several years, we have successfully re-trained over fifty C-Print captionists in the use of TypeWell! With their feedback, we have developed special drills and exercises specifically to help C-Print users overcome the most challenging keystroke replacements while making the switch to TypeWell.

C-Print captionists who successfully complete the course may qualify for a discount on TypeWell’s transcribing software.  Financial assistance and payment plans are also available for those who meet the criteria.
