I guess my reply wasn't too clear.<br />
<br />
Yes, *all* CAT software is Windows-only.<br />
<br />
Fortunately, the new Macs all have "Intel-Inside" ... which gives the Mac greater ease in emulating Windows via programs like <a href="http://www.parallels.com">Parallels</a> or <a href="http://www.vmware.com/download/fusion">VMWare Fusion</a>.<br />

These programs run Windows as an application ... and from within that application, you run your CAT software.<br />

<br />
These programs run Windows as an application ... and from within that application, you run your CAT software.<br />
<br />
As it is emulation instead of native, there's a bit of a speed hit ... so max out your Mac's RAM to lessen the blow.<br />
<br />
Another option is <a href="http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/bootcamp.html">Boot Camp</a>.<br />
<br />
Boot Camp (free, by the way) doesn't just emulate Windows ... instead, it allows your Mac to become a Windows PC (you'll have to provide your own copy of Windows, of course).<br />
<br />
So yes ... you can run your CAT software on a Mac.<br />
<br />
Hope this clarifies!<br />

I'd also check with Stenograph and see what they say. Sometimes the software is only Windows compatible. I think, and don't quote me here, that their software is only Windows. I remember this only because I was talking to my mom about how I was glad I didn't get a Mac earlier in the year because then I wouldn't have been able to use Case. I could be wrong though...<br />

Hi, Danielle.<br />
<br />
Alas, I have no experience running CC on my MacBook Pro (I'm running both digitalCAT and Eclipse), but you might want to check <a href="http://groups.msn.com/Courtreporterassistance/general.msnw?action=get_message&mview=1&ID_Message=35960">this thread</a> (you'll need to register and log in if you aren't on Court Reporter Assistance already).<br />
