Since getting home, I've been working full-time from home, and I LOVE it! I was worried about being motivated and balancing home life and work, but it's been a pretty good transition. I am so motivated to work hard, and I love working each day. I must say it is wonderful to have Brian home all summer watching David. I love eating lunch together.
So, you're probably wondering what I actually do. I promote a special niche of court reporting called CART, Communication Access Realtime Translation. CART is most commonly a service for deaf and hard of hearing, but also helpful for individuals learning English as a second language or individuals who are physically unable to take notes. It is most often offered in academic settings, but also corporate settings. A court reporter provides CART services for the individual by transcribing the spoken words (via a steno machine) into text, word-for-word in real time. The recipient views the text on their laptop or projection screen. Not only does this aid incredibly with class participation, CART also produces a transcript (basically word-for-word notes) that the individual/student can highlight, do searches in, and write comments . . . and then take with them in order to reference or study from later. CART services have really been a tremendous asset to deaf and hard-of-hearing, and it can now be done remotely. EveryWord offers on-site and remote CART, and my job is to promote it -- connecting the CART providers with the individuals who need it. Check out our website for more details: www.EveryWordInc.com
Here are some pictures from my trip down to SC, mostly of David & Cindy's home. It was a very nice place to visit.
