"Eclipse Macros and Display Settings: Your Realtime and Editing Super Powers"
 

Realtime veterans Ron Cook and Michelle Kirkpatrick will show you how to dial in some realtime and editing Super Powers using your Eclipse CAT software.  We’ll review editing macros on your QWERTY keyboard versus realtime writing macros from your steno machine. We’ll show you how to pull up the default editing and realtime macros already preprogrammed into Eclipse, show you what the programming looks like, then show you how to get started on making some of your own. (We’ll even give you some of ours.)  Importing and exporting them in and out of different users can sometimes be a bit of a mystery about where they go and why they won’t load, so we’ll touch on that as well.
 

Next, we’ll talk about the Super Powers you can find in your display settings. This will include Auto-Brief settings and your Translation Magic display colors. We’ll touch on various user colors for your scopist(s) and your proofreader(s) and show you how to have them show up in the display colors that you and your team pre-program so that your realtime changes, your rough draft run-throughs, and your last pass through your final transcripts will work systematically for you and like a well-oiled machine.
 

We can’t wait for you to leave this session with some new secret Super Powers of your own!
