  • WHAT WE DO

Eight ways to put speech into text.

Each service channel below is its own discipline — labelled the way our reporters label a live caption feed.

CC1 / EDUCATION

CART In Education

Live speech-to-text for primary, secondary and third-level students, delivered remotely or on-site, with a full transcript minutes after class ends.

CC2 / CONFERENCES

CART in Conferences

Text displayed on-screen for delegates, on individual monitors, or streamed to the web — plus a complete transcript at day's end.

CC3 / TELEPHONY

Phone Call Captioning

Realtime captions for conference calls and telephone meetings, so hearing difficulty never means missing the decision.

CC4 / THEATRE

Theatre Captioning

Colour-coded captions that pop up in short bursts on stage-side screens or personal devices, paced for readability rather than scrolled — a companion app for bring-your-own-device seating is in development.

CC5 / BROADCAST

Broadcast Captioning

Live subtitles for television and webcasts — providing RTÉ's live captioning since 2001, plus subtitle files for production companies, conferences and college tutorials worldwide.

CC6 / TRANSCRIPTION

Transcription

Fast, accurate verbatim transcripts delivered to whatever timescale a project needs.

CC7 / LEGAL

Stenography

Court stenographers and realtime reporters for hearings, depositions, arbitrations and tribunals across Ireland and Europe.

CC8 / MEDIA

Audio Description & Videography

Narration tracks for blind and visually impaired audiences, and legal videography synced to the stenographic transcript.

  • IN THEIR WORDS

What it's like on the other side of the screen.

I went from bottom to top of my class in one semester, when I switched to using PCR’s service. I knew that there was more being said than what I was picking up, I just didn’t realise how much until I got their verbatim transcripts after every lecture. Plus, I’ve made so many new friends, everyone wants to sit beside the kid with all the answers.
STTR/CARTEducation
PCR have provided CART at many of our AGMs, making our meeting accessible to everyone there, and then handing over a verbatim transcript before they leave at the end of the day, which has been invaluable to us. A very helpful and professional company.
STTR/CARTConferences
Important decisions are made via conference calls and my contribution to same was always limited due to my hearing difficulty. PCR’s service has changed my life over the last two years and while on a conference call I feel like I am on an equal footing and my hearing difficulty is no longer the barrier it once was.
Phone CallCaptioning
Having never experienced musical theatre with captions before, Oliver! just blew my mind; the colour-coded text meant I could follow the show easily, I can’t wait for the next captioned performance!
TheatreCaptioning
PCR have proved their reliability and readiness to oblige on many occasions, their professional and open manner in doing business, and RTÉ would highly recommend this company and their services.
BroadcastCaptioning
Our business is competitive and we need every available tool to keep us ahead of the game, PCR’s transcription service have been a vital part in our success to date.
Transcription
If I have a case that’s going to trial, the first call I make is to PCR, they’re dependable, reliable and provide a quality service, from pleasant and competent stenographers in court to an excellent standard of transcript as the end product.
Legal StenographyFOR COURT / DEPOSITIONS / ARBITRATIONS
In the US legal videography is part and parcel of our legal process and it can be difficult to find the service being provided in Europe. Thankfully we found PCR and their service is second to none.
