Catchword: stenocaptioner

Filed Under: English, Media, Television

Part of Speech: n.

Quotation: Stenocaptioners watch live programs, listening with earphones and typing on a stenographer’s keypad, which is different from a computer keyboard. The pad is connected to a software program that deciphers the keystrokes. After the computer interprets the words, telephone lines shoot the text back to TV stations with a lapse time of two to five seconds.
