Melody Wisp (English VTuber)<p>Something that'd be super cool is if streamers and YouTubers and people involved in closed captioning and transcription networked more closely with each other.</p><p>So, this project is called the Open Steno Project. It's a volunteer-run group that produces software, educational material, etc., in order to bring down the costs of stenography equipment, technology, and education. I love this project with all my heart.<br><a href="https://www.openstenoproject.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">openstenoproject.org/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>And this is the Discord server, for anyone wanting to talk to transcriptionists, closed captioners, stenography students, court reporters, and hobbyists about this field (I'm in it! It's super fun!). It's not specifically a place for *hiring* someone, but getting to know the industry and the people in it is a net good. And you might even learn stenography while you're at it, idk. 😎​<br><a href="https://discord.gg/plover" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">discord.gg/plover</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>--<br><a href="https://vt.social/tags/networking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>networking</span></a> <a href="https://vt.social/tags/VTuber" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VTuber</span></a> <a href="https://vt.social/tags/EnVTuber" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EnVTuber</span></a> <a href="https://vt.social/tags/VTuberEn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VTuberEn</span></a> <a href="https://vt.social/tags/Twitch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Twitch</span></a> <a href="https://vt.social/tags/TwitchStreamer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TwitchStreamer</span></a> <a href="https://vt.social/tags/VTuberUprising" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VTuberUprising</span></a> <a href="https://vt.social/tags/VStreamer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VStreamer</span></a> <a href="https://vt.social/tags/YouTube" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YouTube</span></a> <a href="https://vt.social/tags/Accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Accessibility</span></a> <a href="https://vt.social/tags/Stenography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Stenography</span></a> <a href="https://vt.social/tags/steno" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>steno</span></a> <a href="https://vt.social/tags/Captioning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Captioning</span></a> <a href="https://vt.social/tags/Transcription" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Transcription</span></a> <a href="https://vt.social/tags/ContentCreation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ContentCreation</span></a> <a href="https://vt.social/tags/Plover" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Plover</span></a></p>
