It's a bit grainy (ya think?) but if you play with it, it sorta looks like Sly Stallone. Actually, it was Sly in Jerry's Deli, in the LA Calif area. We were just a bit too far away for it to come out clean.

Those were really rhetorical, tongue-in-cheek questions. Although we disagree on how to transcribe such drivel, and I know and understand your argument for the way you do it, I just prefer to be more verbatim in this instance.

She's got my permission to leave the U out too. It was just suggestions to hep a fellow reporter. Actually, I usually write out that type of phrase.
A. Murray commented about "let me know". I was taught (in the dark ages, pre-CAT) that "let me know" was a 2-stroker -- LE/MO. That's so ingrained now I don't think I could change it.
As you can see I have gottenbeyond the gray hair stage. Just look at my avatar.
I'll be happy to assist in any way I can. But, be forewarned that I don't use all the bells and whistles that came with it so I might not be able to assist…
Hi, Phil! My name is Lilli Santaella, and I’m based out of El Paso, Texas, with clients in California, Texas, Kentucky and Nevada. I've been a freelance proofreader/scopist with over 14 years’ experience. Medical/technical/expedite is my specialty. I work on CaseCatalyst, StenoCat, and I'm now learning the Eclipse software. I proofread in Word 2007 with the track changes and comment functions and you’ll get your transcript in a PDF format at which time you will be able to see all my corrections right there on the screen. It’s a very efficient method, and I highly recommend it to those you who haven’t taken a stab at it. I have a few regular clients, but I'm looking to pick up some overflow work. I offer a quick turnaround and very competitive rates. I'll be happy to provide solid references. Please contact me at LilSanta31@aol.com. You'll be happy you did!
I recently joined Word Help, and I just noticed your question re "xxx indemnification." Assuming that the xxx is a word or phrase, can you type in the phonetic sound of it? For some reason it's just haunting me as though I should know what it is. Cindy Valleley yourscopist@aol.com
Hi Phil,
Thanks for your response, regardless of the fact that you're not full of scopist know-how (and obviously don't need to be). :) Neat to hear that your family got the chance to really live here for a while. I've been here for 19 years and love it. Hope you have a super weekend.
Hi Phil,
I'm making the move to becomming a scopist. But it's a move that is just in its infancy. I see that you're a court reporter, and I know we don't have any CR schools here in Honolulu. But perhaps you could shoot me a message with a bit about scopistry, if you have some info that might be helpful to me as I'm defining this potential profession for myself.
Thanks much,
Karyl
Yea, she gave us a list of questions to ask, more questions about your job rather than transcript and software questions. The point of the assignment is to interview a freelance reporter, federal reporter, and a captionist. Then lastly decide whether or not to choose captioning or judicial reporting. (I personally already know that I want to be a judicial reporter) But I'm doing the assignments and I think that it would be good to learn more about it. I am about 110 words per minute, but by the end of this semester I will be at 160. I'm in the third class, after this I have two more and then I graduate. I'm taking classes from SUNY Alfred in Alfred, NY. I went there for my first year, then moved here to be with my husband as he is in the military...so I am finishing my remaining classes online. I actually have all of my classes done for my degree except two more court reporting classes and my internship. I am learning the Realwrite/Realtime theory.
Sounds like you have your hands full with that brilliant boy of yours! LOL Planning for retirement doesn't sound like such a bad thing though. ;)
