Every so often on this show, I will have somebody who knows lots of something I know very little about, and Amanda is one of those people. She is a live captioner. We talk all about what it’s like being a live captioner, her the stenographic keyboard, and more. I like her journey and all of the information that she gives us in this episode.

Intro: Hey, everybody. Welcome to episode 114 of How I Built It. Today my guest is Amanda Lundberg. Every so often on this show, I will have somebody who knows lots of something I know very little about, and Amanda is one of those people. She is a live captioner. I met her at several Word Camps, and she has graciously agreed to come on the show. We talk all about what it’s like being a live captioner and things you need to know, and we talk about the stenographic keyboard that she uses in order to quickly capture what people are saying in real time. She also has the dubious honor of live captioning me, so we talk a little bit about that, and maybe not critique– Critique is not the right word, but she talks about how I measure up compared to some other people. Again, I like her journey and all of the information that she gives us in this episode. It’s something that I didn’t know anything about before this episode, so it was a very exciting conversation for me and an exciting conversation that we’ll get to in a minute. But first, I need to tell you about our sponsors.
Break: This episode is brought to you by Plesk. Do you spend too much time doing server admin work, and not enough time building websites? Plesk helps you manage servers, websites, and customers in one dashboard. Helping you do those tasks up to 10 times faster than manually coding everything. Let me tell you, I recently checked out their new and improved WordPress toolkit, and I was super impressed by how easy it was to spin up new WordPress sites, clone sites, and even manage multiple updates to themes and plugins. With the click of one button, I was able to update all of my WordPress sites. I was incredibly impressed by how great their WordPress toolkit is. You can learn more and try Plesk for free today at Plesk.com/build. This episode is sponsored by our friends at Castos. Castos is a podcast hosting platform built specifically for WordPress.
