Procat flash - professional stenograph machine
Just like new ProCAT flash electronic stenography writer! I recently had to quit school for court reporting due to carpal tunnel. I bought this brand new directly from ProCAT in 2008. It's been professionally cleaned once, and is in perfect condition! It writes so smoothly, and can be used as a professional writer (realtime capable!). You will get everything that originally came with the machine, including leather pads for the keys. Email me with any questions, and I'll respond asap!
It is also compatible with all softwares..I specifically used it with CaseCATalyst software.
I bought it brand new for $3,295, so anything under $2500 is an incredible deal!

Unlike the competitor, ProCAT has always used solid-state memory for storage of shorthand notes. We find the memory technology to be more reliable and faster than a 3.5" floppy diskette. Flash uses PCMCIA memory cards for the storage of notes.
The Flash writer weighs only 5.2 lbs. It is by far the lightest writer on the market.
The most unique feature of Flash is its battery life. A Flash, fully charged, offers as much as 24 hours of operation time (actual writing time). That is by far the longest battery life offered by any writer.
Flash writer comes with a soft-sided carrying case. Optional professional Samsonite and Wheelie cases are also available.
One of the unique features of Flash is its instant realtime transmission capability. Unlike the competition's polled protocol, Flash uses an instant data transmission. We have optimized Flash to give you the best realtime performance. Flash speaks in its native language as well as the popular Baron TX mode.
Every Flash writer comes with two memory cards. Each memory card holds 1500 pages of transcript.
The memory cards are formatted in a "PC" readable format (FAT). Therefore, you can use the PC-Card slot in your computer to read your notes from a card into the hard drive.
An optional "foot pedal" enables the user to place electronic markers in the steno note file.
Flash is based on the mechanical stenotype technology offered by the competition. What makes Flash unique is its state-of-the-art electronic circuitry.
Flash is available in the professional color of black.
The Liquid Crystal Display in the Flash is positioned at the most readable angle. It is perfect for immediate read backs. There is also a contrast knob that enables the user to adjust the screen (if needed).
The LCD displays the steno notes clearly, and allows the user to scroll back or search for a specific outline.
Using the function keys on the Flash a user may perform several diagnostic features, format memory card, search for steno, or enable or disable user options.
Flash writers come with a one-year limited warranty and next-business day loaner.
