General interest Stenovation's™ Lightspeed Steno Writer Black Liquid error: Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection. Parameter name: index Item Description The name says it all — LightSpeed. (black) Classic Keys Sold new for over $3,000! Refurbished unit in good condition with some cosmetic scratches and a small dent. Has cushioned keypads that can be removed if you like. It comes with a 30 day warranty. Use it held on your lap which is what most reporter's prefer or use it on the included tripod. Comes with SD Card, protective case, USB cable, user's manual and CD with drivers and utilities. “Light” refers to the weight of the unit, plus the fact that keys can be actuated by the most gentle touch. “Speed” refers to faster and more accurate writing by virtue of the elimination of wasted motion due to unnecessary up and down key travel. Those features are complemented by the unique ability to adjust each individual key’s sensitivity by means of a simple graphical user interface in a computer program. Once key sensitivity adjustments are completed, the changes are saved to firmware (software) embedded in the LightSpeed’s circuit board. Multiple user profiles containing settings for the key adjustments can be stored and applied when desired. LightSpeed can be operated while connected to a computer or standing alone. A USB cable connection can be used for serial communication, power, or battery charging. When connected to a computer with a USB cable, the unit is powered by said cable; however, when connected by BlueTooth or operating independently the unit is powered by rechargeable batteries. LightSpeed provides data storage by means of a removable digital media card. Steno keystrokes and corresponding time stamps will be stored on these cards. The cards can then be inserted into a computer’s card reader to transfer data. Though the LightSpeed is beautiful, thin and light, it is extremely durable. The case is made of the strongest polycarbonate material. The LightSpeed can be used with a tripod equipped with a plate that supports the unit but that also allows the unit to be instantly lifted and placed on one’s lap. Nonskid material on the base of the unit keeps it in place. For those that enjoy trivia, Apple, Inc. bought all rights to the Fingerworks keyboard technology used in the digiTouch and has incorporated it into its new iPhone. Physical specifications: Weight, 1.6 pounds; Length, 12 inches; Thickness, .9 inches. Minimum System Requirements: Windows XP , Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and 1 gigabyte RAM. The LightSpeed writer works with all CAT software! Testimonials: “Although LightSpeed is a great name for Stenovations’ keyboard, I could think of some others. By any name, though, I am spoiled and will never be able to go back to the key-dipping writers again. I’m into my fourth decade of court reporting, and there are certain milestones that are still vivid in my memory. Through all that time the stenotype keyboard hasn’t really changed. But three years ago came the LightSpeed. For me it came just in time. After a career in freelance, I decided to accept a federal court officialship where every day is like a speed contest. Not getting any younger, I was regularly getting beat up writing realtime in the courtroom. The LightSpeed takes out the mechanical limitation of writing, leaving one’s skills to flow unbridled. Its speed is so evident even in the simplest of applications, such as when forced to double-stroke for speaker identification. I even tested my belief of its superiority by returning to my top-of-the-line writer one day. I couldn’t believe how much I was slowed down by having to depress even its sensitive keys and wait for them to return before starting my next stroke. The LightSpeed is here to stay.” Nicholas A. Marrone, RMR, CRR, Atlanta “I have been a reporter since 1979. I have seen the advent of electric writers to computer- enabled writers, a huge difference in the capabilities of what you can do with the writer. About two years ago at a convention I saw this new lightweight writer with a wonderful touch system. I decided after stroking the keys just a little that I wanted one. I finally got to get my “Pink Pearl” last October, and I’ve never looked back since. I practiced on it for a week, starting with finger drills, to acclimate my brain to the new stroke system and finger placement. Then I went on to write some old audios files, and finally to taking my Ms. Pink Pearl on the job. I use the realtime functions on every job I take. After so many years, my hands and right shoulder used to start hurting about 3:00 p.m. on an all-day job. Now I feel like I could write forever. I have no hand or body pains. As a result, I feel less fatigued at the end of a long, hard deposition. I barely have to touch the keys, like a butterfly kiss. I can put the “Pink Pearl” on my lap or on its stand to give my arms a movement break. I actually enjoy writing again. Plus, I am writing cleaner and faster than before because I’m not distracted by pain. The LightSpeed method is a burst of light on the field of court reporting with its innovative techniques. I equate it to the difference the iPhone has made in cell phones. I am just so totally in love with using this machine.” Patricia Harris Vernon, Seguin, Texas “The LightSpeed has been the most important court reporting purchase I’ve made in my 15 years of court reporting. When I purchased the LightSpeed, I had grown increasingly tired of reporting. I bought it sight unseen and received one of the first units. I started using it the day after it arrived at my house. I’ve never looked back. The LightSpeed has not only decreased the pain in my entire upper body, it has re-ignited my joy of court reporting. I had been real-timing for a couple of years before I got my LS; however, it was after I got my LS that I really started to strive for the coolest techie type things I could find. I went wireless on my real-time output, bought throw-down netbooks so anyone and everyone could get a real-time feed, and just started really trying to be on the cutting edge of our great profession. Sure, the pain-free days and nights are probably the best thing about my LightSpeed. But I sincerely believe it was the catalyst for me to really start enjoying what I do again. Thank you, Stenovations, and the twisted, beautiful mind that is Johnny Jackson, for the first truly next-generation jump in the steno machine.” Steve Stogel, Austin, TX About us Payment Options Shipping Info Returns Policy Contact us About us StenoWorks is your one stop shopping source for everything court reporting at great prices.
