Nicole,
I'm a working court reporter. I have been on AristoCAT for going on ten years, and I love it. It's an easy program to work with and the support is excellent.
I beta test and train for them. If you need any more info, my e-mail is pmclaughlinrpr at gmail.com
I work on AristoCat at work. I've been on it for about a year and a half. It was very easy to learn and it is very easy to use. The support is good too.
I have been on AristoCat since I first started reporting in the '80s. One of the great things about AristoCat is that you don't have to buy new software every five years or so. When I first purchased the software, it was a DOS-based program. Then we went through all versions of Windows, and now it works with Vista as well. The support is the best. I recommend it highly.
Trish, I noticed that you do beta testing for AristoCat. Do you by any chance have a Mira? And, if so, do you have any tips for getting it to sync? Laptop sync is great, though.
