Why do so many schools and transcription agencies prefer TypeWell over C-Print, and why have so many C-Print captionists switched to TypeWell? Simply put, TypeWell is a more robust platform for providing real-time access to STEM classes.

“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

TypeWell supports transcribers’ STEM skills in the following ways:

Master Math Mode: TypeWell’s Math Mode dictionary not only allows for quick and accurate transcription of equations but also uses a contrasting font to help students pinpoint key information during fast-paced lectures. After completing TypeWell’s Basic Skills Course, captionists can build on their foundational skills with additional lessons in Math Mode to boost their confidence in STEM classes and open up more job opportunities.

Wield a More Extensive Vocabulary: TypeWell offers a larger built-in dictionary than C-Print, with over 4 million English words. This extensive resource enhances efficiency with transcribing complex and specialized academic language, such as in science or professional courses. The updates to our dictionary with each new release are supported by annual software fees, reflecting our commitment to continuous improvement.

Stay Ahead of the Curve: Although AI captioning services are on the rise, they remain less effective than human-provided services, especially in accurately capturing complex scientific and mathematical content. Enhancing proficiency with STEM content can help experienced captionists stay competitive in a rapidly evolving field. 

While the idea of transitioning to a different platform may seem daunting, the benefits of broadening your range of job opportunities make it worthwhile. At TypeWell, we have successfully assisted numerous C-Print captionists in making this shift. We recognize the substantial investment these professionals have made in developing their skills and are committed to providing tailored support to ensure the transition feels more like a step forward than starting anew.
