New Vista Info: Many customers have reported using StenoCAT 32 version 5.8 successfully with the Vista Operating system by modifying UAC settings. [Details]

Preliminary results show that the major compatibility issues are with court reporting hardware. There are many components to your setup (adapters, cables, writers, etc.) that may present issues with Vista usage.

One question that we get a lot is whether a job created in Vista is compatible with a job created in XP. The answer is absolutely, yes. Files such as jobs/dictionaries/templates, etc. that are created in StenoCAT 32 are completely compatible between operating systems (eg. XP/Vista).

We will continue to update this webpage with current Vista information and compatibility strategies.

If you are using StenoCAT products and want to know more about how Microsoft's Vista operating system affects you and your transcript production, you have come to the right place.

Microsoft released its Windows Vista operating system to the public January 30, 2007. It is important to understand that the Microsoft Vista platform is not automatically backwards-compatible with software designed to work with Windows XP.

Despite its apparent compatibility, StenoCAT 32 version 5.8 is not 'compliant' with Microsoft Vista. Customers who are already using StenoCAT 32 with Windows Vista may be taking risks with unknown problems and potential down time (not necessarily related to StenoCAT 32 itself), and should weigh their decision to do so carefully. StenoCAT 32 versions 5.8 and older are designed for use on a 32-bit Windows XP operating system, as described in the software license.

Gigatron is working towards a fully Vista compatible upgrade for StenoCAT 32 and will make it available after it has been thoroughly tested to meet the high demands of the court reporting environment.

Ultimately, our priority — like yours — is the integrity of the transcript. We understand the critical role StenoCAT 32 plays in your ability to perform and, therefore, the confidence you place in us when you take us to work every day.

Vista Feedback: To date, we have had mixed reviews with Windows Vista as an operating system. Most of these issues have to do with hardware compatibility, learning a new operating system, and some lesser known items such as new automatic popups that may come up while using your computer. We have not encountered any specific issues with StenoCAT 32 version 5.8 that relate directly to Vista as long as UAC has been turned off. If you are interested in becoming part of a Vista focus group, please contact customer care directly.
