ProCAT Winner Steno Edition is Windows computer-aided transcription software for court reporters using stenotype machines to create verbatim proceeding records. It translates steno input into realtime text and can format telephone numbers, dates, times and dollar amounts automatically. AutoEdit suggests corrections for untranslated words, AutoProof checks grammar and style, and AutoIndex creates an index page. AudioTrack records sound and synchronizes it with transcript text for playback during editing or proofreading. Transcripts may contain audio, video and images, and can be delivered as RTF or HTML. Winner imports RTF notes, steno dictionaries and transcripts from other CAT systems, with exports including ASCII, HTML, RTF, RTF/CRE, PDF and PTF. Listed writer compatibility includes ProCAT models plus Diamante, Luminex, Mira, Fusion and Passport. Realtime output can connect to attorney browsers.
