Overview

TypeWell is a system for capturing spoken content and generating an immediate meaning-for-meaning transcript.

Using our advanced abbreviation software, a trained TypeWell transcriber synthesizes the essence of the discussion in clear English text.

Unlike verbatim captioning, TypeWell provides meaning-for-meaning transcription, which conveys the speaker’s intended meaning in fewer words for easier reading. This makes it easier to follow along in real time without losing context.

This form of communication access is widely used by individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing, as well as by others who benefit from real-time transcripts for learning or processing support. TypeWell is used in schools, workplaces, and community settings wherever communication access is needed.

The transcriber can work in the classroom or meeting room or can be located off-site. The recipient (commonly called the "reader" or "consumer") simultaneously sees the transcript using a standard Web browser on a mobile device, such as a laptop, tablet, smartphone, or e-reader.

A TypeWell transcript can be easily printed or saved for later reference as a study tool or meeting documentation.
