This is an experimental ethnographic film about captioners who use stenotype machines to transcribe speech to text in real time for d/Deaf students in the classroom. The film reflexively recreates the gaps in the work of interpretation and translation by messing with its own audio track, offering viewers a way to *feel* what is at stake in real-time captioning. Even while the film renders the face and voice of the protagonist here invisible, it foregrounds the “access intimacy” between a captioner and a student, and argues for what is lost when captioners are replaced by talk-to-text.
