We'll let you decide which one to
choose.
|
| Operating
System: |
We live in a world that is
dominated by Microsoft Windows. Windows is the dominant
force in desktop and handheld computers. We have
selected Windows CE to power the Stylus. The consistent
look and feel of Windows desktop and CE operating systems helps
the user to become proficient more quickly (we had
the option to use Linux operating system free of charge, but
that would mean our clients would have to learn a very complex
operating system).
|
| Realtime
Features: |
Stylus is a full-featured realtime
translation system. Consider these awesome features:
Drag/drop
detection -- Stylus will automatically scan the
keyboard for possible dragged or dropped keys. It
will automatically adjust a keystroke to yield a
translation.
Automatic
stack detection -- This feature analyzes every
keystroke for potential stacking. If it senses that
the user has stacked keystrokes, it will automatically
split the stroke.
Automatic
number conversion -- Uses a set of predefined or
user-defined rules to convert numbers automatically.
RTF/CRE
export -- Allows the user to export files in a
standard format.
User-defined
fonts -- Choose the font size and colors that are
easy on your eyes.
Conflict
resolution -- Automatic conflict resolution
(scheduled for release later this year).
Search
-- Tap on the screen to search for previous Q or A.
|
| Memory: |
Unlike our competitor, ProCAT has always used solid-state memory to store
user files. We find the memory technology to be more
reliable and faster than a 3.5" floppy diskette. Stylus has
three storage devices to ensure reliable operation.
256
MB Compact Flash Card -- The removable CF card is the
primary storage device. User files (i.e. transcripts,
audio files, etc.) are stored on the CF card. CF is a universally accepted form of
data storage. The CF card
slot is expandable to 2 GB. Learn
more.
256
MB Secure Digital Card -- The SD card is the most compact
of all removable-drives. The SD drive in Stylus is used to store your
dictionaries, user configuration files, and backup of recent
jobs. SD cards are frequently used in consumer products
such as cameras and cell phones. The SD card slot is expandable to 1
GB. Learn
more.
On-board
Flash Memory -- The onboard memory is used as
a third backup unit to store your notes. The onboard memory
has the capacity to store as many as 5,000,000 keystrokes
synchronized with time.
|
| Display: |
The display unit is a color HVGA,
touch- sensitive LCD. You may use a stylus to tap on the
screen to perform various functions.
|
| Communication
Ports: |
There are three communication
ports in the Stylus that will address all possibilities:
 |
USB
-- Use the USB port to upload or download files,
dictionary, user configuration files, etc. A USB
cable is included to synchronize your files. Learn
more. |
|
|
Bluetooth
-- The optional wireless port will enable you to realtime
to your clients or to your computer without cables. Learn
more. |
|
|
Serial
-- This port has been added for backward compatibility
with systems that do not support the Bluetooth or USB
connections. |
|
| Audio
Recording and Playback: |
Use the built-in audio recording
port to synchronize the audio with translated text. Audio
files will be stored on the primary CF drive.
|
| Processors: |
Stylus uses two microprocessors to
eliminate stacking and to provide redundancy. The primary
processor handles the realtime features while the secondary processor
is used to monitor the health of your system and capture the keystrokes.

| Weight: |
The
Stylus weighs only 5.8 lbs. It is by far the lightest writer on
the market. |
| Battery: |
ProCAT
writers have always offered the longest battery life. Stylus is no
exception. It comes with two battery systems to ensure the
longest uninterrupted operation. Learn
more. |
| Carrying
Case: |
Stylus
comes with a soft-sided carrying case. Optional
professional Samsonite and Wheelie cases are also available. |
| Realtime
Protocol: |
Stylus
uses the same realtime protocol as Flash, Stenopaq, and
ProWriter. This protocol has been optimized to offer the fastest
realtime translation. Unlike the competition's polled protocol,
Stylus and Flash use an
instant data transmission. Stylus is compatible with any
software that works with Flash. |
| Storage
Format: |
The
memory cards are formatted in a "PC" readable format. Therefore, you can use the PC-Card slot in your computer
to read your notes from a card into the hard drive. |
| Options: |
The
Bluetooth (wireless) adapter is an optional
feature. |
| Colors: |
Stylus
is available in professional black only. |
| Warranty: |
Stylus comes with
a one-year limited warranty and next-business-day loaner. |
