Make a difference every day – be trained as a Live Captioner!

Would you like to join our mission to make the world’s content accessible – to everyone?

We are looking for people who share our passion for accessibility and inclusion to be trained as Live ‘Respeakers’ – Captioners. In this role you will have the opportunity to provide accessibility to those in need on a daily basis – #captionsmatter. No two days will be the same as you caption for university lectures, workplace meetings or conferences. If you are passionate about making a difference in the lives of millions of people each day, then this is the role for you!

Our established remote training program will take you from a beginner to a trained Live Captioner in three (3) weeks while working from home.

How our program works:

You will have a dedicated trainer and mentor who will guide you on the finer points of captioning. Once you successfully complete the program, you will be offered a casual position and have the freedom of working from the comfort of your home, joining an organization that truly believes in nurturing and empowering our people.

No previous captioning experience is required, however, to be successful, you will need to display an exceptional command of the English language, both written and verbal, and have the ability to think on your feet to work efficiently and effectively under pressure. This role is also suited to those who are comfortable using multiple programs and technologies.

During the training program:

We offer a structured online training program delivered by members of our experienced UK team. We are currently recruiting and accepting applications for our January 2022Training Program, which is set to begin on January 31, 2022.

During the three (3) week remote training program you will receive regular feedback on your progress with several milestones to meet. You will learn:

  • The process of how live captions are created using Respeaking
  • To use Ai-Media’s live captioning toolkit to open content for college students and working professionals that rely on live captioning to participate in the classroom, their workplace, and broader discussions at community events, conferences, and online video streams.

Remuneration:

  • You will be paid an hourly rate of £11.00 during the initial three (3) week training program.
  • We will loan you a laptop, and relevant captioning equipment and software for the duration of the training program.
  • Upon successful completion of training and sign-off milestones, you will be certified as a Captioner and be offered a casual employment contract.
  • The equipment will be yours on loan for the duration of your employment with Ai-Media

Please note, that this role will involve you being scheduled on a roster where evening and weekend availability is essential – whenever accessibility is required! We require at least 15 hours of availability per week after the training.
