WinnerXP
Technological Leadership through decades of Innovation
Others make claims to innovation, but
only one
company, ProCAT, has been
delivering innovative products for over two decades.
Check out
these features and benefits:
 |
Technology
-- ProCAT is proud to be at
the forefront of the information technology. Our tradition to
apply leading-edge technology to our products started when we first
opened shop. In 1982, we believed in the power and potential of
the PC platform and we were the first to create a PC-based CAT
system. Recognizing the
important role that Windows will play in our lives, we incorporated
this technology into the industry's first
16-bit CAT software in 1993. As Windows technology has evolved,
so has Winner. Winner2000 was introduced in 1998 as the first
32-bit CAT software. WinnerXp
is the latest version of Winner. |
 |
User
Interface
-- A software should not have to be
difficult to learn to be good! In fact, if it looks too difficult,
then it is not well thought out and you'll lose time and money learning it. Winner has
adopted the look and feel of the Microsoft® products to ease
the transition for first-time CAT users. Updating to
Winner from earlier versions of ProCAT software is a breeze
because it accepts the old command structure. Winner
also has alternate keyboard layouts that simplifies transition
from other CAT systems to Winner. These alternate
keyboards are set up to behave like your old software. |
 |
Features
-- The fact is that every CAT software can produce a
transcript, but helping you improve your efficiency and offer
features that increase the opportunity to generate additional revenue,
is what we do best! Consider these one-of-a kind features: |
 |
Realtime
-- Realtime
for The Rest of Us! ProCAT introduced the first portable
realtime software in 1986. Since the introduction of the first
realtime software, we have continued to add intelligence to our
software to help you produce a "cleaner" transcript, with minimum
effort. Click here to view a more
detailed list of realtime features:
 |
Winner's automatic
number processing continually scans the realtime text to locate a
sequence of events that would trigger the formatting of numbers
(either numerals or words). This process automatically formats: telephone
number,
Social Security number, dollar amount, measurement,
caliber, date,
and time. It is important to emphasize the fact that there is no
need for the user to change their writing style to accommodate
the number conversion. Winner does it
automatically! |
 |
Automatic
conflict resolution agent monitors the translation and
traps the homonyms. Then using a knowledgebase it selects
the appropriate word that completes the
sentence. The knowledgebase grows
as a user uses the software. |
 |
Instant
editing enables a user to translate and edit
simultaneously. This feature makes daily and
expedited jobs a breeze. |
 |
Morphological
analysis controls the word endings. There is no
need to predefine every word. Enter root
words and word endings and let Winner connect them. |
 |
AudioTrack™
is an automatic sound recording and synchronization
feature in realtime. Activate this feature in
realtime to record the spoken words and then play them
back while editing to proof your transcript. |
 |
The
Super Token feature enables a user to define speaker's
names on the fly and change them as needed. |
 |
Automatic
punctuation maintains a grammatically correct format. |
 |
Proper
noun recognition and formatting assures correct case. |
 |
Winner
offers several time-stamping formats to choose from. The
time stamps may appear on every line, every paragraph,
or every occurrence of a question or answer. Time
stamping feature is designed to meet the Canadian format
requirements. |
 |
Enlarge
the screen zoom to make the text more readable or reduce
the zoom to create space on the screen. This
feature is ideal for CART reporters needing to display
their text on a large screen for the hard of hearing or
visually impaired person. |
 |
Connect
your realtime translation output to any popular attorney
browser. |
 |
Access
any dictionary during realtime. The dictionary
juggle function enables the user to view the dictionary
entries before adding an entry to a dictionary. |
 |
Unparalleled
speed and performance. Winner realtime is
optimized to translate and display a word immediately. |
 |
Control
the flow of the realtime from your steno keyboard. |
 |
Issues
keyboard commands (i.e. cursor movement, text editing,
etc.) from the steno keyboard. |

Editing
-- Reality
is that every CAT software can produce a transcript.
What makes ProCAT unique is its two decades of research and
development that has made the Winner Editor the most powerful,
yet easy to learn and use. You will spend about 70% of
your time editing a transcript. Using a software that
has been designed with you in mind will make your job much
more efficient. Here are some
of the unique features that has made Winner the choice of
thousands of professional reporters:
 |
AutoEdit™
-- probably one of the most powerful features of the
editor is the automatic suggest translation
feature. This feature automatically suggests an
English definition for an untranslated word. This
will save you thousands of keystrokes per job. |
 |
AutoProof™
-- with the press of a single key, Winner will
automatically proof an entire transcript. It searches for
common grammatical and style errors. When it
locates an inconsistency, it offers a correcting action. |
 |
AutoIndex™ -- Talk about timesavers, this ProCAT-first saves you
hours because it will automatically produce an index
page for you. |
 |
Super
Token and Form Fields are placeholders in your
transcripts and include files. Placing the cursor
on a field and pressing the lookup key will offer a list
of replacements for the field (i.e. names and addresses
of law firms in an appearance page). |
 |
PowerKeys™
-- Use this feature to create keyboard shortcuts to make
your editing even more efficient. |
 |
Dictionary
juggle enables the user to look up entries in the
dictionaries from the editor. |
 |
AudioTrack™
lets the user play back audio synchronized with the text. |
 |
The
scan function jumps to untranslated steno outlines and
it plays back the audio corresponding to the steno
outline. |
 |
Embed
exhibits in a transcript. Use an off-the-shelf
flatbed scanner and convert your exhibit to a digital
format then embed them into a transcript. |
 |
Embed
an audio message in your transcript to remind yourself
or a scoper of an event. |
 |
And
many more... |
|
 |
Form
Fields -- Form fields are placeholders in your
include files. You can replace these fields in an include
file with the actual name from a database. This feature eliminates the
need to repeatedly enter the same text into the editor. |
 |
3D-transcript™
-- With the advent of the 32-bit technology it is possible to
combine various data formats (i.e. text, audio, and video) in
a single bundle (in a universal format) for delivery to an
end-user. You can use your Winner editor to embed audio,
video, and images into a transcript and deliver the same to
your clients using a standard format such as RTF or
HTML. |
 |
Dictionary
Maintenance -- A well-tuned dictionary is the
foundation for efficient realtime translation and
editing. ProCAT has always placed a great deal of
emphasis on creating maintenance functions that enables a user
to access a dictionary quickly. Here

Importing & Exporting

using pure RTF and its variation as adopted by the RTF/CRE
pact amongst the CAT vendors. Winner supports the following
export formats:
 |
Print
image ASCII |

Backup
and Restore -- No
matter how reliable a computer may be, it is still necessary
to keep an accurate and complete backup of your files.
Winner offers two backup methods:
 |
Archive
Wizard -- It is by far the easiest and the most complete
file backup and restore program. It is designed
to be very simple to operate. It is based on
Microsoft's wizard technology. It simply walks a
user step-by-step through a file backup and restore
process, and it will automatically compress the files in
the universal zip format. |
 |
WinARC™
-- More advanced users may apply their knowledge of
Windows interface to navigate this
Explorer-like archive program to select a job, compress it, and back
it up onto another drive. |
