The Importance of Working Comfortably and Effectively

Stenograph believes that the Luminex Captioner/Student Edition shorthand machine, when used in compliance with the enclosed instructions and information, is safe. Certain sources, though controverted, suggest a relationship between injuries of the hands and forearms with prolonged use of any type of keyboard or other equipment involving repetitive movements of the hands. At the same time, other sources indicate that there is no such cause and effect.

The safety and well-being of persons using Stenograph equipment is of paramount concern and because we recognize that these medical and scientific questions are not definitively resolved, Stenograph encourages all users of our writers to carefully review the following Work Area Checklist and to use appropriate work habits. Remember, personalizing your environment so that it is comfortable for you, promotes a healthy physical and mental work lifestyle.

The following Work Area Checklist is not intended to be all inclusive but a guideline for you to use. Only you can determine what is best for you. Use the checklist to assess and adjust your work area to suit your own needs. Personalizing your environment so that it is comfortable for you promotes a healthy physical and mental work lifestyle.

At Your Luminex Captioner/Student Edition Use a comfortable chair conducive to correct posture. Adjust the height of the shorthand machine appropriately for your body. Position the shorthand machine comfortably close to you. Place the tripod between your knees. Do not sit “sidesaddle”. Minimize the use of the shorthand machine on surfaces other than the tripod stand.

iii

At Your Computer Place the monitor screen perpendicular to the window to help avoid glare. Adjust or close window coverings. Arrange materials such as reference books or a telephone close to you to help avoid excessive reaching or twisting. Clear the area under and around the desk to leave room for your feet and legs. Remove sources of distraction around the monitor. Keep noise to a minimum. See accompanying materials provided by the computer keyboard manufacturer.

Your Body Take frequent breaks to stretch or exercise. Maintain a straight wrist position. Avoid resting your wrists while writing. Keep your hands level with your forearms. Let your fingers curve naturally. Let your forearm go up and down a little when you write, pivoting at the elbow, not at the wrists. Pull your steno machine comfortably close to you. Keep your feet on the floor or supported by a footrest. Support your lower back. Assure that your knees are bent at an angle of 90° or more and your thighs at an angle of 90° or greater in relation to your torso. Adjust the chair position and your posture throughout the day. If you experience any aching, numbing, or tingling in your arms, wrists, or hand, consult a qualified health care professional.

Luminex Captioner/Student User Guide

Chapter 2, Understanding the Shorthand Machine, provides an overview of the machine shorthand keyboard. It also describes machine shorthand and how an individual uses the writer. The shorthand machine is designed to accurately make a written record of spoken words at high speeds. Using sounds instead of spelling out each letter, a machine shorthand writer presses down several keys at once to record a word. This is much faster than a typewriter or computer keyboard where you can only press one key at a time. This means that the machine shorthand writer, using sounds, can write whole words or even a phrase in just one downward motion of their fingers.

Chapter 2 Understanding the Shorthand Machine

As you look at the front of your writer, notice that the keyboard is divided into four sets, or banks, of keys:

Number Bar—the long solid bar at the top of the keyboard.

Upper Bank—the row of 10 keys just below the number bar.

Lower Bank—the remaining consonant keys located below the Upper Bank.

Vowel Keys—the four keys at the front of the keyboard.

The Upper and Lower banks of keys to the left of the asterisk are the Initial keys. These consonants are generally used to begin a word. The Upper and Lower bank of keys to the right of the asterisk are the Final keys. These constants are generally used following the vowels to end a word or abbreviated phrase.

The Number Bar is used in conjunction with the upper bank of keys to write numbers. When the Number Bar is depressed along with the initial "S" on the left side of the keyboard, it produces the number 1. When the Number Bar is depressed with the initial "T" it produces the number "2" and so on. The Number Bar depressed with the asterisk key produces a space in the steno notes.

The asterisk key produces an asterisk. The asterisk symbol is generally used to denote a mistake, indicate a correction, or to distinguish homonyms.

Luminex Captioner/Student User Guide

Similar to a typewriter, your fingers have a home position on the keyboard as shown in the previous diagram. Notice that the Vowel keys are slightly lower than the other three banks of keys. This allows for the natural position of your thumbs.

Unlike the typewriter where each key is pressed one at a time, any number or all of the keys on a shorthand machine can be "stroked,” or pressed down at the same time. This means that a machine shorthand writer can write an entire word, syllable, or phrase in just one stroke. Although the keyboard does not contain all the letters of the alphabet, letters are used in combination to identify the remaining consonants. You will also notice, that while some letters do not appear at all, other letters appear twice.

The machine shorthand keyboard was designed to write sounds. Most word and syllable sounds begin with one or more consonants, followed by a vowel, and end with one or more consonants. For example: R E D; SH O P; ST A RT. While the machine shorthand writer may write words exactly as they are spelled, R E D or SH O P, they often are writing the words or syllables as they phonetically hear them. For example, in two strokes they may write "courthouse"-- K O R T/H O U S or "workhorse"-- WORBG/HORS. The writer may also record an entire phrase in just one stroke, "state your name"-- ST A U R PL or "could you tell us" -- KOUTS. The machine automatically creates spaces between the strokes, so the writer never needs to take their fingers off the keyboard to press a Return or Enter key.

Chapter 2 Understanding the Shorthand Machine

Computer software translates each stroke or group of strokes immediately into text by comparing the strokes to an electronic table of words and phrases called a "dictionary." This dictionary automatically provides for correct spelling of words, punctuation and spacing between words. Once the steno strokes are translated into words, text editing software is used to make corrections and to produce a final printed transcript.

The first shorthand machines were developed in the late 1800s and have evolved over time to the present-day Luminex Captioner/Luminex Captioner/Student Edition. To learn more about the evolution of the shorthand machine that brought the technology to this point, visit www.stenograph.com and view “The History of Machine Shorthand.”

Chapter 3 Hardware Features

USB Virtual Serial Port Communications

If your CAT system does not support USB communications, you will need to communicate with your CAT system using the Virtual Serial Port method. To communicate using the Virtual Serial Port, you must have installed the Luminex Captioner/Student Edition virtual serial port driver on your computer. The virtual serial port driver installs when you install the USB driver . The virtual serial port uses Stentura protocol for realtime communications and reading notes.

When using a virtual serial port connection, the realtime connection becomes inactive if you disconnect the USB cable and remains inactive even if you reconnect the cable. For example, let's say you disconnect the USB cable to simulate reporting a bench conference and then you reconnect the cable when finished. The current realtime does not reconnect. It is necessary to open a new realtime file on your CAT system.

If you leave the USB realtime connection active when you take a break, the realtime screen may not display the new steno strokes when you resume writing. This is a function of the USB port becoming inactive when it remains idle for a period of time. If the virtual serial port communication becomes inactive, you cannot reconnect to the realtime file. It is necessary to start a new realtime job on your CAT system. See the Troubleshooting section about disabling power saving features on the USB port to avoid an inactive connection.

To establish USB virtual serial port communication:

1. Ensure your Luminex Captioner/Student Edition and computer are turned On and are fully booted.

3. Start your CAT software.

4. Set your realtime options. This is a virtual serial port communication via USB cable. Ensure the appropriate COM port is selected. Depending on your CAT software, it may be necessary to select Stentura as the realtime writing machine.

USB - Cannot Update Software

To load a Luminex Captioner/Student Edition software update, you must first install the Luminex Captioner/Student Edition USB driver on your computer. The Luminex Captioner/Student Edition USB drivers are available for download from the Stenograph website. To load the Luminex Captioner/Student Edition USB driver, see install USB drivers for instructions.

USB - Realtime Connection Appears Unresponsive

If you leave the USB realtime connection active when you take a break, the realtime screen on the CAT system may not display the new steno strokes when you resume writing. This is a function of the USB port power management settings when it remains idle for a period of time.

Power management settings determine if the USB ports turn off when not in use for a specified amount of time. Check the Power management settings for your computer USB Root Hubs to ensure the USB port does not turn off when idle.

When using the virtual serial port communication via a USB cable, ensure the power management settings to the USB port does not turn off when idle. Virtual serial port communications via USB cable, however, does not allow you to disconnect and reconnect the USB cable and maintain the realtime connection.

To modify the USB power management settings, please consult your Windows documentation about Windows Device Manager for your operating system. For additional information, check

Stenograph’s Solution Center.

The TrueView® utility is also available in the TrueView folder located in the Utilities and Splash

Photos folder. TrueView is a Luminex Captioner/Student Edition utility program that allows you to analyze your steno strokes by viewing the TrueStroke data (Steno X-ray2) generated by the Luminex Captioner/Student Edition. TrueStroke data is gathered while writing realtime connected via the USB cable to Case CATalyst V13 or higher. TrueStroke Data contains information about timing, the direction of travel and the velocity for each steno key in each steno outline. This allows you to examine a steno outline to determine the cause for a stroke to register as it did, providing instant feedback on your writing style. For example, you may want to examine split, stacked, dragged or dropped strokes. The TrueView Utility permits viewing of the Luminex Captioner/Student Edition TrueStroke data when you are not using Case CATalyst or are using another CAT system. The TrueView.exe along with important TrueView instructions are located in the TrueView folder.
