Local court reporter earns national certification

Brenda Keyser recognized as Certified Realtime Captionerbrenda2

 

RESTON, Va., June 18, 2016— The National Court Reporters Association (NCRA), the country’s leading organization representing stenographic court reporters, broadcast and CART captioners, and legal videographers, has announced that Brenda Keyser has earned the nationally recognized Certified Realtime Captioner (CRC) certification, which acknowledges proficiency in language skills and in realtime writing in the broadcast and CART (Communication Access Realtime Translation) environments.

 

CART is often defined as live-event captioning, which relies on realtime reporting to produce an immediate transcript of the spoken word. Realtime reporting produces an immediate transcript of proceedings by using a steno machine connected to a computer that instantly translates spoken word to text.

 

The CRC certification was implemented in August 2015 to provide NCRA members with a higher level of captioning training and the resources they need to transition to providing captioning services. The certification reflects the combined training of the previous certifications Certified Broadcast Captioner (CBC) and Certified CART Provider (CCP). The new certification was developed to increase realtime proficiency and certify more individuals in providing realtime services. As of January 2016, NCRA members who hold the CBC and the CCP certifications will automatically become CRC certified.

 

“Holding the CRC certification recognizes a reporter’s highly specialized skills needed to produce realtime reporting in the broadcast reporting in setting,” says Mike Nelson, CEA, executive director and CEO of NCRA. “CRCs are highly sought after because of their expertise in this very specific field of reporting.”

 

Keyser, from Cincinnati, Ohio, is a member of NCRA and has worked as a court reporter for 25 years.  She has an MBA from the University of Cincinnati and also holds the professional certifications of Registered Professional Reporter, Registered Merit Report, Registered Diplomate Reporter, and Certified Realtime Reporter. Keyser is currently President of Elite Reporting Agency, LLC.

 

To be recognized as a CRC, candidates must successfully complete a captioning workshop provided by NCRA and a skills exam that is a realtime dictation of 180 words per minute on literary matter.
