RID - OTC Certification

Qualified oral transliterators have knowledge and abilities in the process of speechreading, speech production and the communication needs of speechreaders.
Transliterators are aware of environmental and social factors influencing the service provider and the service recipient.
Transliterators know how to manipulate and adapt these factors for successful communication.

Qualified oral transliterators have developed articulation skills and techniques that allow for easy understanding by speechreaders and have become skilled in employing verbal and non-verbal support techniques, thus assuring that the message is transmitted accurately.

Qualified professionals have the stamina to deliver continuous, accu-rate reception and expression of the spoken message and the mental concentration to work for an extended period of time.

The knowledge, techniques and skills of oral transliterators are markedly different from those needed by sign language interpreters, however, what both groups of professionals have in common include:

Knowledge of and adherence to the NAD-RID Code of Professional Conduct
Professional standards of service and behavior
Awareness of the communication needs of deaf and hard of hearing consumers
