Introduction...

 

WebCaption is a realtime streaming-text platform that enables court reporters to deliver text to a consumer via the Web.  WebCaption may be used for any purpose that requires instantaneous delivery of text (i.e. Financial News, Educational, Legal, etc.) to a desktop.  Our clients use WebCaption for remote CART, financial news broadcasting, and convention reporting.

WebCaption consists of three parts:

  1. Computer-Aided Transcription ("CAT") -- CAT software translates the spoken words into text.  When used with the Winner transcription system, the text will be formatted using artificial intelligence to ensure the highest presentation quality.

  2. Broadcast Server -- The CAT software must be configured to connect to a ProCAT WebCaption server (a "Virtual Conference Room").  The server is responsible for receiving the text from the court reporter and deliver it to the persons that are present in the room (connected to the server).  The server also maintains a history of the activities in the room so that a person who arrives late will receive the benefit of an entire session.

  3. Consumer Plug-In -- The invited guests will be given an access code for a virtual conference room.  A guest may use an Internet explorer to log into a room to view a session.
