Hi, Sabrina.
My favorite is digitalCAT. Eclipse has the pretty stuff and some things are easier, but when you're used to one then go to the other it takes adjustment. It's not hard to learn, just tricky remembering the shortcuts. I've spoken to some that have added Case after being on digitalCAT and they've said it's very difficult to learn.
Thanks for inviting me to the Scopist/Former CR group! Great idea.
I'll have to come to your page more often, GREAT music! Your little prince is quite a cutie. Bless him

Sabrina,
I had about an hour or two of training over the phone, which was very helpful. I had several practice files, too, to work with. Play your tutorials, then I would post on Eclipse's website and see if someone might send you some practice files. Open up the software and your manual and go to it! Still, it doesn't quite compare to actually working with the software. Different reporters have different needs, of course, so what you master in editing for one, you just don't use for the next. By lines really drove me insane for a while.
Remember, if you mastered one, you can master another.
Good luck with it!
I hear you about Eclipse. I've been training myself, too, for a couple of months, have gone through the visualizers several times, and I am still on information overload. I have to go through a little at a time or it is, as my kids call it, "TMI." Too much information! I guess the best way to learn is to have "hands-on experience." I am doing my best to find that right now. Nice to talk to you, Sabrina.
