|
Would
anyone be able to see my realtime output if I am using the
Bluetooth (wireless) port?
|
|
|
No.
Your wireless port will only permit the authenticated users to
see you realtime output.

|
Why
did you use Windows CE in Impression?
|
|
|
Operating
system is the brain of your computer. Every computer
needs an operating system. Some companies develop
single-purpose operating system for their machine. This
approach limits rapid use of existing technology to improve
the user experience. We chose to use Microsoft
Windows to run the computer inside Impression. This approach
will permit us to capitalize on the billions of dollars being
invested in this technology. Additionally, our clients
are familiar with Windows which makes it very easy to learn
Impression. We could have saved a bundle (improve our profit
margin) by using the free Linux but that would mean our
clients will have to learn the most "geeky"
operating system.

Where
do I buy the compact flash and SD cards?
|
|
|
These
cards are commonly available at most camera shops and consumer
electronic stores (i.e. Best Buy, Target, Wall Mart,
etc.)
|
|
|
What
is the purpose of having two processors in Impression?
|
|
|
The
most important design consideration was to eliminate
"stacking" problem and develop a realtime writer
that provides useable and meaningful output. Having a
processor dedicated to capturing the keystrokes helps us achieve
our most important goal. The second processor is an Xscale
type processor that is commonly used in handheld
computers. We use this processor for realtime
translation and data storage.

|
|
Is
there a floppy drive in the Impression?
|
|
|
No.
As you are aware, floppy drives are for the most part
obsolete. In fact, floppy drive is an optional item that
you have to buy separately. We believe flash memory
technology is far more reliable than the floppy
drive.

|
|
What
is the purpose of the audio recording port?
|
|
|
You
may use the audio recording feature that is built into Impression
to record the spoken words synchronized with text of the
testimony. The audio and text files may be imported into
your CAT system in RTF/CRE format.

|
|
I
love the feel and touch of my stenotype machine. How
does it feel to write on Impression?
|
|
|
We
use the same mechanical keyboard as our competitor.
Impression will have the same touch and feel of the machines that
you use now.
|
|
|
Can
I upgrade my current machine to Impression?
|
|
|
No.
We offer a very generous trade-in value on your current writer. Please contact our sales department for additional information.
|
|
|
Are
there local authorized service centers for Impression?
|
|
|
We
are in the process of cross-training our nationwide team of
Flash ARC and ASP centers to provide maintenance services for
your Impression.
