Connection Instructions
 
  • Connect your writer, and launch a realtime translation in your CAT software.
  • Launch your Internet Browser (e.g. Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, etc.).
  • Log into your Realtime Coach™ account.
  • Navigate to an exercise using the tabs on the right (e.g. RTC Library).
  • Launch an exercise by clicking on the exercise title. The exercise will load in the embedded player.
  • Read and respond to the License Agreement if prompted.
  • When the exercise loads, you will see the exercise Setup tab. Select your preferred Presentation Mode and Coaching Preferences.
  • If there are multiple voices, make the necessary assignments in your CAT software.
  • If there are dictionary words suggested, write them on your steno machine (you won't see what you're writing), then switch to your CAT software (you can use Alt+Tab), and add these words to your CAT dictionary in the usual way. Then switch back to the Realtime Coach™ exercise window.
 
Click the Play button to begin the exercise. A cursor should automatically appear in the Practice window on the right. If your CAT software is properly configured, you should see your translated text feed into the Practice column as you write. (If you use DigitalCAT™, it may take up to 30 seconds for your text to begin feeding.)
