1. Speak into a microphone. The speaker speaks normally into a lapel microphone or an extra-sensitive microphone installed in the classroom. The microphone is connected to a telephone line, which transmits the audio to our call center.

2. Captions are created. A qualified transcriber at our call center creates captions of what the speaker is saying in realtime. With the appropriate materials and preparation, our transcribers can provide fast and accurate transcription.

3. Receive our captions. The student receives captions almost simultaneously on a notebook computer connected to the Internet. The student can also scroll through previous realtime text while still viewing captions in realtime.

4. Download the transcript. The student can download the edited transcript within 24 hours. The transcript will greatly assist the student's ability to study information from lectures often not included in textbooks or other classroom materials.
