"Hi, Martha! I know you've already gotten a lot of responses, and I know many reporters love to use a mini keyboard. But there's something to be said about editing right from the writer keyboard. I do it all day, every…"

Mary Ann Payonk replied to jane hong-elsey's discussion VIDEO SYNC DEPOS -- DO YOU PUT YOURSELF IN THERE?"Hi, Deanna. I think we've all heard about an atty requesting to NEVER send "that reporter" back on one of my jobs ... with the reason being that "the transcript was terrible." Really? Really?? Could…"
Mary Ann Payonk replied to jane hong-elsey's discussion VIDEO SYNC DEPOS -- DO YOU PUT YOURSELF IN THERE?"Kelly, that's the beauty of the macro. You do not have to be any more behind than usual. Look how many strokes it saves when -- when -- when someone stutters a word or, you know -- you know -- you know -- you know, 2 words. My…"

Mary Ann Payonk replied to jane hong-elsey's discussion VIDEO SYNC DEPOS -- DO YOU PUT YOURSELF IN THERE?"Jane, you'll get a differing opinion, I'm sure, but I've never worried about putting my chitchat w/attys on the record.

Mary Ann Payonk commented on anita t. shemin's blog post REPORTERS BEWARE"Hi, Anita. You are absolutely right. As we know, sometimes the "duties" of the reporter are disregarded. Sometimes, big bad litigators simply scoff at our silly rules. You know, don't you worry your pretty…"

Have fun. The day you have planned sounds great. I had planned on going to a movie today too but we had a blizzard here last night so I'm digging out my driveway in between working on my Hispanlic witness. I don't know which is worse, shoveling the driveway or my Hispanic speaker. I love Mexican food but I don't think I'm going to be in the mood for it for a while after I get this done. hahahaha
Have a wonderful day, Janiece

Jennie said… - Oh, Mary Ann, that would be so generous of you to donate to the rescue league that saved my father, taking him to Walter Reed Army Medical Hospital, when the D.C. ambulance service refused to do it.
It is Bethesda-Chevy Chase Rescue Squad, 5020 Battery Lane, Bethesda, Maryland 20814-2699. Their phone number is 301-652-0077, and their website is www.bccrs.org. BCCRS is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Contributions to the Rescue Square are tax-deductible as permitted by law. The D.C. Charitable Solicitation Number is 53004867.
Thank you so much for thinking of this very worthy organization. I cannot say enough good things about them. I live in D.C., but I am a half block from the Maryland line, and they came to my father's rescue. I will never forget them.

Bess A. Avery said… - Hey, Mary Ann. Thanks again for the beautiful venue and esprit de corps this past Tuesday at the B&B on 14th St., D.C. I think it's a very good idea to have live bodies getting together and communicating and sharing. The soft-light ambience was superlative, and reporter comraderie, inspiriting. Thank you! And, please, count me in for the next meeting. To be sure I'll spread the word of there being an organization for reporter networking in Northern Va, D.C., and southern Md.
Cheers!

- Mary Ann:
I asked about professional writers, and I got a response from Glen - wasn't exactly what I wanted, but I will read his stuff.
To keep it simple: I plan on start looking for a CR job in January. The Stenoram II I got is okay, but I realize it won't do for the long run (backup).
My financial situation, I cannot go into the Miras or other expensive stuff. I want something that is decent, I can connect to a laptop and do real time (just for me). Glen seemed to feel that the Stenuras are a bad choice. I'm an old writer. I want to also make a paper transcript.
I'm thining of the Stenura 800, 600 or a 500. I was even thinking of a Smart Writer. I did look at the ProCat Flash, and that looked okay too.
In January, I am not planning to be the highest paid reporter with all the glittery stuff - just enough to do the job.
What do you suggest?

Rita Clapp said… - Hi. My name is Rita Clapp, and I am looking for a court reporter to work with. I use the Total Eclipse NT software.
I have been working with a trial court reporter who uses the Case Catalyst program, so I’ve gotten an education with .rtf files as well as using the FTR recording device.
I am looking for long-term work relationships with court reporters, however am available for short-term and overflow work. I provide both standard and expedited services.
