Hi, Janet,

I just read your idea on speaker defines, I like it.

Has anyone ever reported a Federal Mine Hearing?  It sounded hard.  I'm curious in case it is offered to me again.

I always thought the steno machines simply were not designed to identify a multitude of speakers.  If I have a panel I go from one side to the other and start with speaker1, speaker2, speaker3, speaker4, then speaker5 (both top bars), then speaker 6 (both bottom bars).  After that, it gets confusing and I need some visual cues to keep track of who it is, so I write glasses, fat fat, tie tie.  Something like that.  I liked the suggestion of the commas with the number bar combination.

Janiece, when I took a captioning course, they recommended using the question bank with the initial of the speaker.  It actually makes more sense, because you stay in the Q/A rhythm.  I find the double stroking of initials or the first syllable of their name takes too much time when you're in a fast-paced proceeding.

STKPWHR-P for MR. PAUL

Thanks, Sam.  I like your ideas of the number bar with a number.

And, of course, I make a seating chart if necessary.  I often also use first syllable of last name, such as BEN/BEN for Benjamin, FORD/FORD for Ford, etc.

Hi, Debbie,

Sure.  Why not?

I have used T3 for a few years now and pay 24.99 a month for it.  Can we not say on here if we were satisfied or not with service?

Janet,

Good ideas for extra speaker defines.  :-)

I use the symbol for THE COURT for the chairman, then EUFRPBLGTS and STKPWHRAO for the other panel members.
