Gwen,

I can't remember, are you still under support with Stenograph?  If you are, they should be able to tell you why that is greyed out and help you fix that problem b/c your text should automatically scroll.  Let me know if you are under support.

I think you go to tools and select "follow realtime.">>

This is greyed out and I can't select it.

 

Another way to do this would be "Control L" from the keyboard.>>

Does not work either.

 

>>One practice I would recommend when you want to edit during the depo, before you do anything hit Control S.  That will save what you haveto your hard drive.

 

Good to know!

>>I'm not sure why you're selecting Alt F and L to go into edit.

Because that is what the little training guide that comes with the program says to do.  It's ridiculously basic and doesn't really help with any of the 'real world' things that one would want to know.

>>  If you have your computer hooked up and you're doing realtime you can just start editing away on the computer.  You can job define, d define and e define, pretty much whatever you would do editing at home.>>

I'll try that.

>>As far as getting your realtime going, as long as you haven't closed the file, you should be able to go right back to your realtime.

Well, so far nothing I've tried gets me back into realtime.

Gwen,

I think you go to tools and select "follow realtime."

Let me know if that's what you needed.

 

One practice I would recommend when you want to edit during the depo, before you do anything hit Control S.  That will save what you haveto your hard drive.

I'm not sure why you're selecting Alt F and L to go into edit.  If you have your computer hooked up and you're doing realtime you can just start editing away on the computer.  You can job define, d define and e define, pretty much whatever you would do editing at home.

As far as getting your realtime going, as long as you haven't closed the file, you should be able to go right back to your realtime.

Does that help?

Okay. Here're 2 questions:

1.  I'm doing realtime translation insofar as my machine is hooked up to my laptop and I'm translating into a file as I go. Why isn't the screen scolling down in the laptop as I write? It follows along until it gets to the bottom of the screen and then the screen does not scroll along.

 

 

2.  Let's say we stop  for a break and I want to do a quick edit.  I hit alt F and then L to go into edit.  What do I hit when it's time to resume writing on my machine?

Gwen,
I really think I could help you over the phone. What have you got to lose? I'm free. Why don't you try it and see.

Gwen, I'm just really amazed that they are not giving you the training.  Boy, things have changed.  They know if you've had it or not.  I remember when I purchased the software they gave me the name of the person who did the training in my area, which I scheduled, and then that person would in turn be paid through Stenograph.  I wish I could help you, but the people on here that responded to you have more knowledge than me.  I just know the basics, but if you have any questions, you can also e-mail me and I can try and help too.  My e-mail address is bigrotoo@aol.com  Good luck!

Rosalie, trust me, I spent quite a bit of time going round and round with Stenograph trying to get them to give me the training.  Since the salesman hadn't put it in writing, they refused.  "How else is one to learn?"  Indeed.  I couldn't agree with you more.

 

Thanks for the offers of answering questions.  I do phone Stenograph with questions (and will continue to do so).   I just really need to sit down with someone though.  It's the only way it's going to happen for me.

I've been on CC for about 13 years.  I'm in CA, but would be willing to answer any questions you have.  my email is julielessa@yahoo.com.

Gwen, unless Stenograph has changed since 2003, when you purchase software through them there is a two or three hour training that was included in the price of the software.  How else is one to learn?  Hopefully somebody in your area is willing to help you out, or better yet, call technical support for every little question you have on how to work the program, that's what you paid for, right?  Hopefully you talked to somebody at Stenograph and they were just confused that day...lol...and will provide you the training.  I see you say you've played with it for a long time, so I'm assuming you purchased months ago, but still, they would know if you have had the training and still should provide it.

I was supposed to get a training coupon, but it wasn't in writing and they reneged.  :(

I am  new to CC.  I was on turbocat for years and years.  I took some time off work and bought a diamonte and CC when I decided to get back to work.  I've played with it for a long time but really need some help.  I was thinking of going down to Calif for an upcoming training, but I would need to know the basics before I could really get anything from that training.  Since I'm not currently working, money is really tight.  (We have two kids in college and it's killing us.)  So I was hoping someone would want to show me the basics just for fun!  :)

 

I did do the CBT tutorial that came with it.  It's just not the same as having a reporter who uses it show you.  I could hire a Stenograph trainer, but then I wouldn't be able to afford the more advanced training, which I believe is going to cover a lot of the new stuff in version 12.
