Which job title for business card?

There are a number of different names for real-time and non-real-time captioners.

Non real-time captioners go by:

  • offline captioner
  • post-production captioner
  • non-real-time captioner
  • caption writer
  • caption composer
  • broadcast captioner

Real-time captioners go by:

  • live captioner
  • stenographer
  • real-time captioner
  • CART provider
  • Court reporter
  • caption writer
  • caption composer
  • broadcast captioner

I never know what to list on my resume. If I pick a less common job title, then would-be employers might miss me in a key-word search.
