Case CATalyst Pro is Windows software for court, CART, and legislative reporters who produce realtime, electronic, and printed transcripts. Stenograph says its translation and editing tools use predictive analytics and intelligence to support transcript work and delivery. Case AudioSync links recorded audio with text, so users can play it while editing, proofreading, or recording proceedings. The license includes video training, self-help study guides, and starter dictionaries for popular theories. CATalyst Pro works with Luminex, Diamante, and other writing machines; its documentation also describes CaseViewNet compatibility and RealTeam. The current-version license costs 4299.00 USD per once and allows non-simultaneous use on up to four computers. It includes one year of technical support. CATalyst requires Windows 11, a supported Intel Core 5 or 7, Intel Ultra 5, 7, or 9, or AMD Ryzen 5, 7, or 9 processor, at least 8 GB RAM, and a drive of 256 GB or larger. ARM processors, including Snapdragon chips in Windows computers, are incompatible. Mac computers are not supported, and Stenograph advises against virtual Windows environments such as Parallels or VMware Fusion. Advanced features including Cloud Backup, RealTeam, and CaseViewNet require stable high-speed internet.
