WRITING TECHNIQUE FOR THE STENTRAN SYSTEM, PROBLEMS WHICH COURT REPORTERS ENCOUNTER USING THE SYSTEM, AND A DISCUSSION OF THE KEY WORD IN CONTEXT SERVICE.
Abstract
THE AUTHOR'S EXPERIENCE IN FAMILIARIZING HIMSELF WITH STENTRAN IS RELATED. HE NOTES THAT CORRECTIONS BY A SCOPE EDITOR CAN SOLVE A NUMBER OF PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SYSTEM. HE ALSO EXPLAINS THE KWIC (KEY WORD IN CONTEXT) SERVICE. WHEN KWIC IS USED, THE COMPUTER SCANS THE TRANSCRIPT AND SELECTS ALL THE ESSENTIAL WORDS AND PRINTS THEM IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER WITH APPROXIMATELY TEN WORDS BEFORE AND TEN WORDS AFTER THE KEY WORD, PLUS THE PAGE AND LINE NUMBER ON WHICH THE REFERENCE IS FOUND. AN ATTORNEY REVIEWING A TRANSCRIPT FOR APPEAL CAN FLIP THROUGH THE INDEX AND FIND EVERY REFERENCE TO DOUGLAS AIRCRAFT, HORIZONTAL STABILIZER, OR WHATEVER HE DEEMS MATERIAL. FOR PART ONE OF THIS ARTICLE, SEE NCJ-34568.
