The first known use of a stenographer to take down and record proceedings by ink to paper was in 1809. Using Stenograph machines and the like, we’re now writing, translating and sending the spoken word instantaneously around the world.  Let’s take a quick look back over 200 years.  

For the second time in as many years, All Good Reporters was  honored to provide CART services for the hearing impaired at Walden University’s commencement ceremony held at the Gaylord Palms Convention Center in Orlando this past January.  Edna Adan, former Foreign Minister of Somaliland, delivered an inspiring, anecdotal and funny keynote address.     […]

In November, singer and social activist Harry Belafonte and his family were speakers at ASHA’s 2014 Cenvention in Orlando .  Later in the week, Senator John Glenn and his wife Annie — who have been married 71 years — were presenters of the Annie Award to Bill and Willie Geist, both journalists and TV personalities.

We recently CARTed the Audiology2014 conference here at the Orange County Convention Center here  in Orlando. We had to output to their encoder for the general assembly. Their technician, however, wanted us to output through our VGA port. To quickly remedy our dilemma, we had brought along our Text-on-Top software and were up and running […]

We thought you might get a kick out of an old picture of ours taken 25 years ago.  It seems like yesterday.  The court reporters and judiciary were at the Orange County Courthouse, Orlando, Florida celebrating Mary Carls’ retirement.  Mary’s at the left, front.  Those were the days!

  Here I am with my long-time friend, Eva Krzewinski, at the Citrus Club’s Holiday Gala in downtown Orlando last evening.  I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Eva for the past eight or nine years.  We met while members of the Orlando Museum of Art and we’d spend time volunteering at their First Thursdays of […]

It’s getting to the end of the year again, a time where we pay our dues for membership in our state and national reporting associations.  At one point, we were paying dues to three associations at three different levels:  State, National and Federal (It hurts just thinking about it). Oftentimes, we’ve debated over not paying […]

In this time of gratitude, we give you thanks. We value your patronage and appreciate your confidence in us.  Counting you among our clients is something for which we are especially grateful. On behalf of all of us at All Good Reporters, have a Happy Thanksgiving. Rita

Before leaving on vacation recently, I sent both of my steno machines in for long-overdue overhauls.  I ended up sending the machines to two different service providers in Florida as one of my machines was the newer Elan Mira:   John Dretto of SMS Machine Repair in St. Pete, Florida and Stenoworks in Greenacres, Florida. […]

We wanted to give a shout out to the IT and web page developers at Niceville United Methodist Church. We’ve had the pleasure of providing remote CART for one of their Sunday services the past few months.  Their website is straightforward and easily navigated. We easily access their Live Webcast by going to their Messages page and clicking on […]
