"I
recently built a new dictionary from scratch using Dictionary Jumpstart. The process
was easy, and it took me a week and two days, in between a very busy life. It
is a very well thought-out program, and I love how you simply write a word that
you see and the correct English translation is already defined in the dictionary
so you don't have to type in the many thousands of words. You are a true genius.
Thank you for creating such a brilliant program."

"Dictionary Jumpstart is the fastest way I've seen
to
build your realtime dictionary. I recommend it."

How is Dictionary Jumpstart useful according to a 25-year
captioning veteran?
“You ARE your dictionary! Whatever
words you have learned in your entire life should be able to come out through
your CAT software. Dictionary Jumpstart is a fantastic way to get you there! I
have never used any software that
was easier to do than this.
Get started NOW!”

"Dictionary Jumpstart allows you to keep your hands
on your steno machine and just stroke in a list of words. You don't have to stop
stroking each entry and then go to the computer keyboard to input. Since I started
closed captioning, I found that it is very difficult to be consistent with your
keystrokes. So, Jumpstart's function of being able to input a word many different
ways is incredibly time saving and cuts down on possible misstrokes. This product
is an indispensable tool to prepare someone for the unpredictable vocabulary you
encounter in the captioning field. For a student recently out of school, Dictionary
Jumpstart would be the best investment in your future. And for the stenographer
who has been trying to build his/her dictionary one word at a time, they will
be amazed at the speed and depth Dictionary Jumpstart offers."
"Thanks a million for creating a program that simplified
the arduous task of building a diverse dictionary. As a student and CART provider,
Dictionary Jumpstart saved me many months, if not years, of research time. I feel
like I'm way ahead of the game."
I
was a student, practising dictations at about 100 wpm and working in offline captioning
when I purchased DJ. You can practise all you want, but if everything isn’t
translating, because the words aren’t in your dictionary, then it’s
not much good.
DJ was so easy to use, and there were so many different categories
to choose from. If I knew I was working on National Geographic television shows
at work, for instance, I worked on the animals category. If I was going to do
some news shows, I worked on the politics category. And you don’t have to
work on a whole category in one setting. You can do as much as you want, come
back at a later time, and DJ saves what you did before and starts you off from
the point you left off. It’s fast too: no more defines; just stroke your
word and go.
DJ is a very good investment for your court reporting, CART
or captioning career. You will have it forever and can add words to your dictionary
at your own pace. Anissa Nierenberger is also a pleasure to do business with.
She went above and beyond, offering me advice and support throughout my years
as a student even when I didn’t ask for it. I would recommend DJ to anyone
who wants a more efficient dictionary and wants a fun, fast way to achieve it.
“The North Carolina Court Reporters Association found Anissa
to be passionate and energetic about our profession and her product (Dictionary
Jumpstart). Her enthusiasm is contagious and her presentation was a big hit. A
great seminar to any convention!”
"I started my reporting career BC 1969 (before computers),
so in spite of being a CRR, my dictionary left a lot to be desired. Because I
had a 2-week trial scheduled where I would be doing realtime for a hard-of-hearing
defendant, I used the Dictionary Jumpstart vocabulary module to beef up my dictionary.
I am so appreciative of how much it cleaned up my realtime!
I am now working on other modules and would highly recommend Dictionary
Jumpstart to other reporters. Thanks for a wonderful product and your helpfulness
in getting me going."
"Dictionary
Jumpstart is an invaluable program for anyone interested in broadcast captioning.
The biggest obstacle most court reporters have to getting into captioning is building
a news/literary dictionary, and this program is a quick way to build that type
of dictionary. This is also an excellent resource for any broadcast captioner
who just wants to round out their dictionary. It is easy to use, has great depth
of words, and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in captioning, just embarking
on a captioning career, or who has been captioning for years."
"I've already done four lists and couldn't be happier
with the program. It's exactly what I was hoping for." -
“I love the way Anissa interacts with the audience. Dictionary
Jumpstart seminar showed me the potential of what I can truly accomplish as a
great reporter.”
