I made a long (too long) video and so I'll have to link it using Vimeo...
(I did misspeak in here at least once - I was really introduced to voice in the '90s, not the '80s so there's that)
this is meant to be an overview of how voice writing tech evolved and how we can make ourselves more efficient if we learned the "analog" way. Take the baby steps and make yourself ready for realtime!
Happy St. Patrick's Day! And another Monday. I'm still dragging with the time change so I'm starting later in the day than normal. But I'm excited to start a new week with so many projects, a trip to convention, some consulting gigs, some volunteering. I think that's what I love so much about what we do, y'all. Every day, every week, every month can be an adventure! Ain't it grand? (Now I just need to find time for a nap)

You all know I love giving back... and I've been speaking at the local law school for many years now, sharing with the students who will be future litigators how they can work WITH court reporters to create a truly excellent record.
I love doing this - and if you have the chance, please consider doing it in your area. The "baby" lawyers appreciated it and the next generation of court reporters will too!
We all love rituals - girls nights, massages, regular workouts... but what about our working rituals?
Do you have any that ease you into your productivity? Perhaps alleviate any anxiety?
Our job as a stenographer (or captioners) is filled with stressors and if we can develop rituals for ourselves to help limit those stresses, think how healthy, happy, and productive we can become?!
Headed south to Florida for the StenoCon - FCRA's annual conference. They always do a PHENOMENAL program. Looking forward to making my presentation and sharing the HOW of voice writing with the professionals there in Florida.
Then, next week, the cross-country train adventure begins as I head to the NVRA annual convention at the Knott's Hotel in Buena Park, CA.

I'm currently a retired member of NCRA (voting eligible). I wanted to share my perception of the proposed amendment - and to commend my friends for having the courage and insight to propose it - and also offer a potential way forward. It may not be everyone's stance, but before making any vote on governing documents, I do believe people should hear differing opinions.
Thanks for reading. I have also read it out as a video on my YouTube channel.
