Announcements

November 2004: StenoCast launches the StenoCast X1, which allows all steno machines to send raw steno notes wirelessly from the steno machine to the court reporter's computer. The wireless range is approximately 60 feet. The battery run time is eight hours.

StenoCast simultaneously released the StenoCast X7, a serial device that allows the court reporter to transmit their translated realtime notes to up to seven clients (judge/attorneys), with a range of approximately 300 feet. Attorneys must first load the Bluetooth software onto their computers and then install the driver for the Secure X Receiver in order to receive the wireless realtime feed.

September 2005: StenoCast released the StenoCast X1-Lithium. The X1-Lithium replaces the X1. The X1-Lithium allows for up to 30 hours of wireless realtime, takes just two and one-half hours to fully recharge, has a range of up to 300 feet, had LED lights which indicate battery level, status and connectivity, among other enhancements.

May 2006: StenoCast releases the USB Ez Receiver. The Ez Receiver works with both the X1-Lithium and the X7. The Ez Receiver comes paired with its X1-Lithium or X7 device. The Ez Receiver requires no Bluetooth software to be loaded onto the Court Reporter's or Attorneys' computers.

June 2007: StenoCast releases an updated USB Ez Receiver. The updated Ez Receiver uses a common Windows driver, thus eliminating the need to install drivers on some computers. The updated Ez Receiver also has LED lights that indicate connectivity and data transmission.

February 2008: StenoCast releases the New StenoCast X7 USB. The new X7 is a USB device, thus eliminating the need for AC power. You simply plug the X7 into the Court Reporter's USB port, and the X7 draws its power from their computer. The new X7 allows for seven wireless realtime connections from the Court Reporter to the judge and/or attorneys. There is a LCD screen on the new X7, which provides useful connection information to the Court Reporter. The X7 also utilizes "Test Mode," which automatically sends out a wireless realtime signal without the Court Reporter hitting strokes on their steno machine. It allows the judge/attorneys to check their wireless realtime feed at any time, without the assistance of the Court Reporter.
