Realtime Compatibility
Xpression is compatible with all popular CAT systems. It is also compatible with older systems which are compatible with the ProCAT Flash Writer.
Memory
Unlike our competitor, ProCAT has always used solid-state memory to store user files. We find the memory technology to be more reliable and faster than a 3.5″ floppy CD. Xpression has three storage devices to ensure reliable operation and redundancy.
Storage
- Slot 1: Micro Secure Digital Card – The mSD drive in the Xpression is used to store your dictionaries, user configuration files, and backup of recent jobs. mSD cards are frequently used in consumer products such as cameras and cell phones. The mSD card slot is expandable to 64 GB.
- Slot 2: Micro Secure Digital Card — The second mSD drive in Xpression is used to store steno files, transcript files, audio files, user configuration files, and backup of recent jobs. SD cards are frequently used in consumer products such as cameras and cell phones. The SD card slot is expandable to 64 GB.
- Onboard Flash Memory — The onboard memory is used as a third backup unit to store your notes. The onboard memory has the capacity to store as many as 5,000,000 -keystrokes synchronized with time.
Display
The display unit is a color WXGA, LED backlit, and touch-sensitive LCD. You may use your fingertip or a stylus to tap on the screen to perform various functions — very much like a smartphone or tablet computer (i.e. iPad)
Connections
There are three communication ports in the Xpression that will address all possibilities:
- WiFi — Stream realtime testimony to your clients on Windows, Android, or Apple devices over the WiFi port.
- USB Client — Use this USB port to upload or download files, dictionary, user configuration files, etc. A USB cable is included to synchronize your files.
- USB Host — You may attach intelligent devices (i.e. Flash drive, hubs, etc.) for the purpose of adding additional functionality to your Xpression.
- Bluetooth — Wireless connection to your CAT software. Xpression comes with an additional Bluetooth adapter for your PC.
- Serial USB — Serial port adds backward compatibility for all legacy systems. You may use a USB cable to communicate with you CAT system.
Audio Recording, Monitoring, and Playback
Use the built-in audio recording port to synchronize the audio with translated text. Audio files will be stored on the primary CF drive.
Processors
Xpression uses two microprocessors to eliminate stacking and to provide redundancy. The primary processor handles the realtime features while the secondary processor is used to capture the keystrokes.

The Xpression weighs only 4.8 lbs. It is by far the lightest writer on the market.
