How Dictionary Jumpstart Began
What began as a small project to help a fellow captioner almost two decades ago blossomed into a complete dictionary-building program that has grown year after year. After that first experience helping her colleague, Anissa realized there was a real need to provide fellow reporters with the vocabulary they needed to improve their dictionaries. She also discovered that many reporters wanted to pursue other areas of reporting like captioning and CART. What followed was the creation of a cutting-edge, Realtime Dictionary Software that helps steno writers build their vocabularies across the United States and abroad.
