Does anyone use Whalemail? If so, can you send me just a random file through Whalemail to see if I get it? I only have one CR that uses audio, and I was getting the files from her fine, and now I'm not. So she's thinking it's on my end. I gave her an alternate address to send it to on Comcast, but that's not working either so far, so I want to be able to tell her I'm receiving them from someone else, IF it does, in fact, work.
Since I posted yesterday, I've received at least four e-mails telling me that Whalemail hasn't been working right for their CRs either. So it's obviously something on their end. Others have written Whalemail to let them know, and I am going to write them also.
I just thought I'd let the group know in case anyone else is having problems.
Thanks for the help and info. Have a great day!

Should anyone happen to be looking for an experienced Case Catalyst proofreader,
I'd love to help. I am available for overflow, part-time or full-time
proofreading. My turnaround time is three days max. Experience and references
upon request.
Thank you.

Just checkin in.....looking for some transcription work right now, if any of you
have any attorneys who need some help (or others, such as writers, etc....or
tapes of meetings, conferences).
Merci beaucoup,
Suzanne
My work schedule has opened up so I'm looking to add two new reporters to my
workload.
Should any of you happen to know of reporters needing a backup proofreader or
scopist, I'd love to put my 14 years of experience to work for them.
Have a great day.
Thank you.

I have the new Windows 7 and am running Case 11 in it, and it's constantly locking up when I click Ctrl+S to save my file. It's been doing this since I first loaded it and is getting worse. Anyone else have/had this problem?
I've tried reloading it, but that didn't help. Seems like a compatibility issue between the two because no other program gives me a problem when running it. Just Case, and only when I click to save the file.
Thanks for any help and/or advice.

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone that has e-mailed me regarding my issue with Case. Now that I have it set to e-mail the person directly on the forum, no one can see that people have actually responded to my question, and I'm very grateful to all of you.
Thank you!

If you're a hard-working court reporter looking to increase your free time and
productivity and decrease your taxing workload, look no further! Lunar Eclipse
Scoping is here to help. I have 15+ years of experience as a professional
scopist and have worked on StenoCAT, CaseCatalyst, and am currently using
Eclipse 5 software, which I have determined to be my personal favorite among the
various stenography software. I have ample experience scoping depositions of all
types, medical malpractice, grand jury proceedings, asbestos, workers
compensation, and pretty much everything else under the sun!
My thorough scoping technique is of the highest caliber, and I can easily adapt
to your preferred grammatical style. I perform internet research when faced with
unfamiliar terms or phrases, and in the rare event I cannot positively identify
a term, I will call it to your attention in my emails with suggestions and in
the transcript with the symbol you prefer. I will work with or without audio,
and my extremely affordable rates are all under $2.00 per page -- even for
dailies with audio! Please visit http://lunareclipsescoping.weebly.com or email
Dorothy Bradberry at bradberry_dorothy@... today with any questions or to
request a preference sheet!
My daughter, formerly a court reporter, has recently started doing scoping. I am
sending her my overflow work, but she is a single mom with a four-year-old
daughter and REALLY needs some help. If anyone could use even a backup scopist,
please email me. She is on ProCat Version 10, I believe.
She is interested in using other software to scope, but the cost is very
prohibitive for her.
I can vouch that she is very, very meticulous and detail oriented. Her former
court reporting firm sends her proofreading and her former boss also is very
pleased with her proofreading skills.
ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED!!!!
Thanks!
Carol
I recently bought a new computer running Windows 7. I also recently replaced my
broken Eclipse key and had a replacement one sent, which shows it's version 4.1.
The last two jobs sent to me, when I try to bring in the audio in the job it
tells me "multimedia error 13/1" or sometimes just "wav not found," even though
it's showing the wav file as being part of the files downloaded in Eclipse's
file manager. I had to turn away work because I couldn't get Eclipse to
recognize the wav file. The reporter was told by tech support that I needed
4.3 to run on Windows 7. Not sure if that's the whole problem. Does anyone
have any ideas?
If your reporter recorded using the speez setting, you will need to install
speez on your computer also. Advantage has the file online or you can just
do a search and find someplace to get it.
I have heard some folks talk about they had to plug a mic into their
computer before the audio would work for them; that seems to vary depending
on the computer. That is all I can think of at the moment.

Do you have a current support contract with Eclipse? If so, I think you would be better off upgrading to 4.3 so that there won't be any hiccups like this that you have to contend with.
If you don't have a current support contract with Eclipse, perhaps you might consider downloading Express Scribe (it's a free download) and loading the audio into Express Scribe.
In Express Scribe, you can reprogram the hot keys to match the hot keys for the audio in Eclipse, so you'll never really know the difference.
I hope this little bit of information helps for you.
It would be the compression that the reporter selects on her end to record.
The speez codec is not part of Windows 7 nor is it automatically installed
by the Eclipse software. You have to download and install it separately.
Your reporter would have to tell you her settings, or you might be able to
look under the User Settings, Realtime tab, compression settings to see what
is used. After you install the speez codec on your computer, you will need
to go to the Realtime tab and select "speez" under the compression tab.

Thanks, Margie. What's a speez setting? I tried the mic trick, but it
still says the error message. I can run the audio through Express Scribe,
so I know it works. It's just that Eclipse isn't recognizing it.
All responses are now set to respond directly to the poster, so if you respond, it will come directly to me.
Thank you!

Is anyone on Stenocat 32? I have a scopist friend that is having problems, so I thought maybe you could answer her question. I don't run that software, so I can't help her.
Thanks.

Has anyone worked for a Tamika Burnette in either Illinois or Michigan? Her
last address was Illinois, but I believed she's moved. She owes me money from
early October and she's no longer answering any e-mails and has shut off her
answering machine. Has told me twice the check has been mailed.
Karen isn't getting her e-mails, so until we can get it resolved, please write her directly at kaleashelties@... if you are trying to get in touch with her.
Thank you. :)

Please, everyone, be aware of a reporter from Michigan with the initials TB on
Digital Cat software. She is advertising for a proofreader. I did some scoping
for this woman the first of October and I am still waiting to be paid from her.
She claims she never got the invoices even though I sent her four of them to the
same address that she received the finished jobs from. She told me if I wanted
to paid then I need to send the bill to collections.
Hi everyone!
I recently completed my training and am ready to go on Case CATalyst version 12.
I have a medical background, having taken previous terminology courses. I'm
very detail oriented, well educated, and have the assistance of a seasoned
scopist who is acting as my "help desk" as I find my way through the beginnings
of this exciting industry.
I am willing to negotiate a reduced rate for a trial job for you. 50% off of
the first 40 pages, the remaining pages (if any) will be scoped at a rate of
$1.00 per page.
You can email me at lisahead68@... if you're interested.
Thanks and I hope to be hearing from you soon!
Lisa
I have over 17 years experience in both scoping and transcribing, looking to
form a relationship with a new, well-written reporter. Morson's guidelines
used. I also read steno. Rates starting at $1.00 pp, dependent upon full audio
versus spot audio, quality of audio and turnaround time.
Contact me at transcriptsetcetera@...
Thanks!!

Hi
If anyone is no longer scoping with Eclipse I may be interested in buying it
from you. Please let me know by putting Eclipse in the subject and sending it to
my email at dgkwallace and I am at yahoo. Thanks
I have a CR that needs a proofreader who will listen to full audio for .30 pp. I know, it's a lot to ask for. I just figured I'd put it out there and see if anyone was willing to do it for her. She's approximating about 300 pages a week, but I think we all know how that goes. :)
Thanks!
