I usually get paid a per diem if realtime is requested and not used.

It's nice if they do, cause you may have turned down another realtime job.

I've only worked for one agency that would pay realtime rates even if I didn't do realtime.

That happens to me sometimes as well. I've been thinking that they have to notify all counsel through the depo notice that they might be receiving realtime at the depo so that opposing counsel is aware and can decide if he wants it and bring his laptop, etc. I think sometimes they change their mind and decide they don't need it at the last minute or maybe because of cost. Who knows? But I do think some attorneys don't fully understand what realtime is. I've had attorneys not even realize they needed a program on their computer to receive realtime.

I've had it happen too. Couple times they requested realtime, and a different atty actually showed up. I was told at the livenote seminar that if this happens where they've requested a realtime reporter, that you should still get paid for realtime.

I am curious how many of your all's scheduled realtime jobs actually go forward as a realtime, i.e., with the attorney hooking up? I have had attorneys request a real time reporter, only to arrive at the job to find they really just want a good, clean rough draft. Most of the attys haven't even shown up with their computers. Are some attorneys misinformed about what realtime actually is?

Unfortunately, you can't output to CVN if the attorney is running CV or LN. You will have to output to whatever program the attorney has. If Catalyst allows simultaneous multiple output formats, like Eclipse does, then you can output one to CVN, one to CV, one to LN, et cetera. Don't know if that's possible with Catalyst, though.

I switched to Eclipse ten years ago, so I am clueless about the SG products and how they interact with each other.

Sorry Rebecca, I see that you said it does refresh. When I first read your response, I thought you said doesn't refresh.

So what do you do if atty has caseview?

Just checked the stenograph website. Caseviewnet "does refresh," but it's called "Rapid Refresh."
So my question is: What if you get to a job and you have caseviewnet, but the atty is using livenote?

Also, if caseviewnet doesn't refresh, what's out there for case cat users to refresh? bridge does not refresh with case cat.
