Mirabai Knight, a Realtime
Captioner in NYC
I'm Mirabai Knight, sole proprietor of StenoKnight CART Services. I transcribe
classes, lectures, meetings, and conversations for students and
professionals, both onsite in New York City
and remotely via internet streaming technology.
The purpose of CART (also called open captioning, verbatim realtime transcription,
or stenography for the Deaf and hard of hearing) is to transform
spoken English into written English so that the eye can perceive it
as easily as the ear, without sacrificing precision or efficiency.
As each word is spoken, I write it in shorthand on my steno
machine at up to 240 words per minute. It's routed to my computer, instantly
translated into verbatim English text, and displayed on a wireless
tablet, a projector screen, or my client's own computer,
in the room or across the country.
I always strive to accommodate my clients' individual communication styles as seamlessly as possible.
Though I'm not an ASL interpreter, I sign at an intermediate conversational
proficiency, and I'm happy to voice for clients who communicate
by writing or typing. I also have an intermediate proficiency with Cued Speech. Medical, technical, and graduate
courses are my
specialty.
I'm available on a semester-long basis for college and
university
classes and on an hourly basis for all other
engagements. For rates and terms, please email me at info@stenoknight.com or
call/text (917) 576-4989.
