I was visiting the stats for See Print, and I see that the latest visitors landed here by searching "What is C-Print software?" and "C-Print wpm".  Visitors were from all over the United States... and the Ukraine.  That's interesting!

I would say the site does a thorough job of explaining what the software is.

As for the wpm, I don't see that discussed in any of the links I've provided.  I will discuss wpm here so that information is available.

C-Print was originally used almost like note-taking.

Then it was used to provide "meaning-for-meaning" versions of the spoken word.  This means the goal was not to render verbatim transcripts.  Key information was captured by condensing to the important facts and by ignoring redundant or irrelevant information.

Deaf culture was incorporated.  If a client's native language was ASL, the message would be rendered in a format that was easy for the eyes and in simpler language so the message could be received quickly and notes could be taken or attention paid to actions in the room.  The captionist was trained to interact with a client who is Deaf or hard of hearing in ways that the client would appreciate and benefit from.

Over time, C-Print captionists devised methods to ramp their skills and speeds  up higher and higher.  The ability to capture complicated information verbatim allowed captioning to be offered in places like law school classrooms and in legal proceedings.  A professional organization worked to create standardized certification levels to indicate skill level.  (This organization disbanded.)

Today, starting captionists are usually asked to have a minimum straight-typing speed of 65 wpm.

The captionists who attained the Level II certification in that beta system achieve 100+ wpm with 50% or more in C-Print abbreviations.

More advanced captionists achieve speeds much, much higher than that and render verbatim transcripts.

If you have questions that aren't answered, feel free to ask.
