Respeaker Training

Accessibility services are in huge demand right now. With a shortage of respeakers there has never been a better time to add respeaking to your client offering.

What is respeaking?

When live captions, sometimes referred to as subtitles, are needed for a conference, webinar, presentation, medical appointment, or other audience-based events respeakers are often behind the scenes interpreting speech-to-text through speech recognition software. Using unique paraphrasing techniques a respeaker is someone who can communicate a message into succinct terminology that software can understand and convert into captions for audiences. This is great for non-native speaking listeners, audience members who are hard of hearing, or when what’s being said needs to be revisited later.

Benefits of adding respeaking to your skillset…

In the digital age your events, meetings and really any live communications should be captioned for the benefit of your audience. And so, the volume of demand for respeaking services has seen a steady growth over the last few years – and we’re talking from experience!

With the volume of work steady, respeakers also enjoy the respective rate they can charge for offering these skilled services. An average market rate for a respeaker to charge is £100 an hour. Often, respeakers have added this service to their existing translator, interpreter, or stenographer skillsets. At RLI, we have found those already in the linguistics industry are able to quickly learn respeaking, bolstering their income.
