We are proud to be ISO 27001 (Information Security Management) and ISO 9001 (Quality Management) certified.

Caption writers, stenocaptioners, or stenographers, produce real-time transcription of the spoken word, onto a screen.
Using machine shorthand, caption writers are able to keep up with the spoken word. By linking their stenotype machine to a computer, live captions can be streamed to one or more individual computer screens or projected onto a large screen for many viewers.
Live captions can be produced on-site or remotely and streamed via a web link.
Universities, private companies, not-for-profit organisations, and other institutions across Australia engage Pacific Transcription’s caption writers to provide live captions at events.
Live captioning services are beneficial to individuals, government departments, universities and other institutions wishing to provide as diverse access to information as possible.
Live captioning provides equitable access, and the ability to interact in real-time conversations, to participants who may not hear the spoken word.
Pacific’s live captioning services are particularly welcomed by participants who are deaf or hard of hearing, as these services facilitate more active engagement in activities such as lectures, tutorials, conferences and forums.
A highly qualified and experienced caption writer attends the event, picks up on contextual cues and provides an immediate transcript. The transcript appears on the screen as scrolling text.
The captions are viewed on the recipient’s laptop, and can be shared with others on their screens, or projected onto a large screen, if necessary.
Alternatively, live audio can be accessed by an off-site caption writer, who will stream a transcript back to a screen at the venue, via a secure website, within seconds.
The captions can also be shared with others on their screens, or projected onto a large screen, for multiple viewers.
Upon request, a corrected transcript of an event can also be made available, after the event.
A corrected transcript is an edited version of the captions provided at the event. If you require a corrected transcript please let us know prior to the event.
