Setting
up Denoto / Lexview
Denoto is a ProCAT software title that allows you to
broadcast a transcription session to other computers. There are two main
methods of accomplishing this; either via the Lexview (the internet), or
through Denoto (LAN, WAN, and direct connections). The following will
detail the specifics of each setup.
Denoto
(The local setup)
Requirements
Certain things are assumed to be setup and working prior to trying to use
Denoto. These things are outlined below.
1.
A valid correctly installed NIC must be present in the
transcriber’s computer.
2.
TCP/IP must be installed and configured correctly for the NIC
referenced in #1.
3.
The transcribers PC must be connected to a valid and working
network. This can be as small as a direct connection between two PC’s or
as large as a WAN.
4.
Winner v8 or v9 (optimal) must be installed and configured (will be
discussed later) correctly on the transcriber’s computer.
5.
Windows XP or Windows 2k must be the OS in use by both the
transcriber’s computer, and the destination computer.
