DHIS is pleased to introduce its new service, Remote Transcription Services (RTS). Based on the latest technology available in the market, RTS is an affordable, high-quality remote realtime transcription service for students with hearing loss. Since we make RTS available only for educational settings through remote technology, we are able to provide high-quality realtime transcription services at reasonable rates.
DHIS certified transcribers are carefully screened for quality assurance purposes. We match our transcribers to each class based on their subject-matter expertise. In addition, our transcribers review textbooks and other reading materials for special terminology, proper nouns, and concepts at the beginning of each semester. We establish policies that ensure students with hearing loss have equal access to education as those with normal hearing.
DHIS enables most students with hearing loss to improve their performance in the classroom. Research has shown that students with hearing loss benefit from realtime transcription. Dr. Steinfeld "concludes that the inclusion of captions in a classroom dramatically increases a deaf or hard-of-hearing person's ability to comprehend the speaker. In addition, providing captions to hearing people also seems to enhance verbal comprehension." (Steinfeld 2000, http://cart.ncraonline.org/steinfeld.html)
