Thank you! I'm in the processing of calling NCRA, in fact, I just left a message because I want to check with them. I think we have a right to record. We don't need anyone's permission since we are keepers of the verbatim record. I'm also going to talk to the CACRA too. He was a jerk too, so I agree with you on that one.

He probably wanted it off so he can act like a jerk without being recorded and then go back and blame the reporter for errors. I'm not sure how I would have handled that. Most attorneys know that the reporters record now. I always record, especially with doctor depos. I'm able to produce a much better record word for word. And as far as recording without their permission, I'm not sure about that, but something tells me we can since it's apart of our software.

I had an attorney tell me once that he doesn't like it when reporters record audio. Other than that, no. If he specifically told me to turn it off, I would. I don't think you're allowed to record people without their permission. But I do agree that it's annoying!

I'm still pissed about yesterday's encounter with plaintiff's attorney and I wanted to see if anyone has had this experience. I am a case cat user and I write directly to my laptop with my writer. I have audio sync and I was doing a doctor's depo so I always use it. it was defendant's depo and once we got on the record the plaintiff's atty interrupted and asked the other atty if she noticed a recording of the depo. she said no, so he turned to me and said please turn off the audio? I said what?? He said again please turn off the audio. I explained to him it's part of my software and it's used in the production of the transcript. He said that's fine and turn it off. I have the capability of turning it off through my writer, so I did and told him so. I was so mad. After the arguments started, little did he know I turned it on again. My God! I'm responsible for this freakin' record! Plus it was a contentious doc depo! Has this every happened to anyone???

TIMESTAMP QUESTION:
I am covering a job tomorrow for an agency and it is a videotape. They want timestamps only when the question begins and when the answer begins. I don't show that as an option in my "modify format" screen. is this even possible?
Thanks,
Janiece

Hi, My name is Trudi and I am here in Morro Bay, California. I just bought a new Diamante and got CaseCAT to go with it. I am having major issues with the writer communicating with my software. If anyone has a Diamante and has had similar problems I would love the help. I have been on the phone with technical support for several hours now. And it is Friday. Thank you in advance.

I need a consistently reliable way of hooking up attys to realtime. Anybody having any luck? I can hook up at one job, next job doesn't work. I use cables.

Ashley, that is a darn good suggestion (all the way back on Oct. 17 - I just read it now, haha). I think I am going to try that! I love those sneaky time-savers!

I am assuming you got the how-to part resolved?

Ashley: I sent a friend request because I wanted to see if anyone commented on how to use the Q and A bank and asterisk for inverted previous symbol...how to Case-Catalyst format it, that is. Thanks.

Comment by Ashley on October 17, 2009 at 18:11

Hey everyone-
Someone made the following suggestion to me: For QA, add a * to the symbol to invert the previous symbol. That is, Question* puts a ? on the answer before it and starts a Q, and *Answer puts a period on the question before it and starts an A.

He is using Eclipse. Having used Eclipse at school for a few months, I know how to create such a dictionary define but am not sure how to do it in Case. Does anyone know how to do it? Is it as simple as just defining . and ?? I know that CaseCat gets a little funky with their format symbols so I wasnt sure.
