A different way of interpreting Nov 26, 2021

It's like interpreting but instead of interpreting the spoken word out loud it is written down. This is useful for anyone who wants to attend a presentation, lecture, etc. that is in a language they don't speak.

Sounds like it would be easier the other way around Nov 26, 2021

If they had read-aloud document interpreting, I might be intrigued.

Voice to text though? Damn that sounds brutal.

You probably need to type 120+ WPM and sustainably (not burst!) at that.
