How To Connect To Realtime Using iCVNet

I haven’t yet officially chosen a software that I’m going to use to provide realtime. However, I’m doing my research. Below is a video and some notes on the video concerning using iCVNet to create a realtime feed:

How to connect to a court reporter’s realtime event: (1) Connect to the reporter’s Wi-Fi router: (A) Tap the settings icon. (B) Tap the Wi-Fi. Make sure the Wi-Fi is turned on. (C) Under choose a network, choose the reporter’s network. (D) Enter the password provided by the reporter. Then tap join. (2) Connect to the realtime server: (A) Tap the iCVNet icon. (B) Tap connect in the upper left of the iCVNet screen. (C) Tap the court reporter’s CaseViewNet server. Then tap connect and type the password if required. You will now begin receiving the court reporter’s realtime feed.

You can mark/unmark a line of testimony by double-tapping it.

You can search for words, phrases and marked lines.

To begin a search, tap search in the upper right corner.

To search for a marked line, type search. Then tap the spacebar on the screen keyboard. Then tap search/enter on the on-screen keyboard.

To resume following along with the realtime, tap the follow realtime button.

To e-mail a copy of the testimony, the court reporter must allow you the option of saving the testimony. Tap e-mail in the upper-right corner, input the e-mail dress, tap send.

Theory Thursday: Speaker Designations

I Love Steno Logo (Cropped)When doing Q&A, or in other situations where there may be several different speakers, it is important to have a variety of designations to identify the multiple speakers. Below is a list of steno briefs that can be used to indicate multiple speakers by number. (Remember, most of the time, these speakers will be defined as colloquy. Also, this list does not include the basic Q and A designations):
#01= STPHAO
#02= SKWRAO
#03= EUFPLTD or *EUFPLT
#04= EURBGSZ or *EURBGS
#05= STPHAOEU
#06= SKWRAOEU
#07= AOEUFPLT
#08= AOEURBGS
#09= STPHAOEUFPLT
#10= SKWRAOEURBGS
#11= 1234/1234
#12= 6789/6789

Stenspiration™

“The people who make it to the top- whether they’re musicians or great chefs or corporate honchos- are addicted to their calling. You have to honor the gift that God has given you. The people who get the call are the ones who’d be doing whatever it is they love even if they weren’t being paid. The junkies love what they do: they revel in it. They exude not only expertise but also joie de vivre.” -Quincy Jones

Love, Speed & Accuracy,
