Steno Machine - Diamante









When considering upgrading or starting off your new career as a court reporter there is no better way than the steno machine known as “Diamante”.  Appearances are not everything, but regardless as a bonus this tool has it. Besides the futuristic design it promotes, it is also very efficient.  With less time editing you can get your work out sooner than you ever imagined. Having a reliable machine and great court reporting skills go hand in hand. So, do not think about it any longer Diamante the future of steno machines.  With innovations like this one you will see new features like the following:
Depth of stroke and tension adjustment:
Both the depth of stroke and the keyboard tension adjustments are conveniently accommodated by thumbwheels located on either side of the keyboard. For 95% of reporters, these two adjustments will be all that is necessary to maximize your translation results. And, futher reflecting the exquisite engineering of the Diamante, the depth of stroke can be adjuster on the fly without impacting individual key setting you may have made.

Keyboard Sensitivity:



If, after adjusting depth and tension, a reporter is experiencing splitting or stacking, the next logical step is to adjust the overall keyboard sensitivity. This sensitivity is especially. Useful if you have selected a very short depth of stroke. If you are getting a key or keys that you don’t want, adjust the sensitivity downward. Increase the sensitivity to get keys that are not registering. The sensitivity adjustments are accessed through the keyboard menu.

Split/Stack Adjustment: If you are experiencing general splitting or stacking of steno outlines, the Diamante can quickly provide specific assistance. The Diamante’s Split/Stack Adjustment feature is simple to navigate and is easily accessed through the keyboard menu. Adjustments can and should be made in small increments.


Transition Time: One final, overall keyboard adjustment is available if splitting or stacking issues are not resolved with earlier methods. Transition times are the amount of time that lapses between the end of one stroke and the beginning of the next. Increasing the time will help reduce the number of stacked strokes while decreasing the time helps to eliminate splitting.

Basically, you cannot go wrong with this machine. So, enjoy less time editing.
