Keeping up with technology

Just returned from a Society for the Technological Advancement of Reporting (STAR) conference in Reno, Nevada.  The technological advancements in court reporting software over these many years is staggering.

Interactive realtime and CaseViewNet should be the realtime software of choice.  Not only is the CVNet integration with TextMap amazingly easy to use, TextMap is part of the LexisNexis CaseMap suite.  Having sat in the seminar, I can’t imagine a more powerful litigation tool for counsel.

Another pleasant surprise was learning the Min-U-Script is now working closely with LexisNexis and is now being incorporated into the CaseMap suite.  All .pdf files from Min-U-Script, with or with exhibit linking, can now be imported into CaseMap seamlessly. 

These are exciting times! 

Cloud Computing is Here to Stay

Catastrophic incidents seem to be a daily occurrence on the news.  Just turn on your computer or open a newspaper and you can read about the devastation from earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, mudslides, and deadly fires.  What happens to your electronic files when such a disaster occurs?

Just last year Doris O. Wong Associates, Inc., started using Cloud Computing for file storage and sharing.  Its implementation was simple and provided the firm with peace of mind.  By having the files backed up in-house and stored “in the Cloud,” we’re assured that your transcripts are secure and easily accessible.

In addition, by using Cloud Computing, we can send encrypted digital transcript and exhibit files to you and your associates with just a click of the mouse.  Regardless of where you might be – your office, home or around the world – you’ll have access to your files 24/7.  

Digital files are predominantly in .PDF format.  So, whether you’re working on a computer, iPad, iPhone, Droid, or any other electronic device, chances are there’s an APP for you for file retrieval and viewing.

REALTIME: The Gold Standard of Stenographic Court Reporting

Did you know that only 16% of the 2,400 members of the National Court Reporters Association hold the coveted Certified Realtime Reporter designation?

To earn this designation, a reporter must transcribe for five minutes from professionally recorded literary material read at 180 words per minute, achieving 96% accuracy without benefit of editing. The reporters from this office who have reached this level of excellence each have almost 30 years of experience and hone their writing skills on a daily basis.

Interactive Realtime is Here

With an increasing demand for interactive realtime software solutions, court reporters at Doris O. Wong Associates, Inc., are upgrading their computer hardware and software to meet the challenge.

We’ve recently entered the wireless realm of realtime.  Regardless of what software counsel is using, reporters can now connect wirelessly eliminating the need for long cables and serial ports.  If counsel is using LexisNexis’s TextMap software, we can connect wirelessly using CaseViewNet.  The benefit here is that as the reporter writes and makes corrections, counsel gets the benefit of those changes.  Also, if counsel is late for the deposition, as soon as he signs in, he gets the full transcript on his notebook.  No other interactive realtime software can make this claim. 

Even more exciting, we’ve entered the world of MAC and are now able to connect serially to counsel’s notebook.  The wireless module is expected to be released early next year. 

Staying abreast of the new technology is exciting and has its challenges.  We’ve made it our job to embrace the new technology to make your job as counsel more efficient, productive and leading-edge.

Our #1 goal at Doris O. Wong Associates, Inc., is to provide litigation support services that help counsel do their job best.  Instead of reading paper transcripts or being tied to your computer to read transcript files, new technology allows you to read PDF files on the go.  With Apps for the iPad, iTouch, iPhone, Kindle, BlackBerry, and the Droid, we can now provide you with PDF files that are easily imported into your electronic device of choice.
