At Advantage Software, we weren’t content to sell “just another writer” any more than we’d be satisfied to create just another CAT system. From built-in audio synchronization to the most adjustable keyboard on the market, the Passport paperless writer is in a class by itself. Using ShadowTrack™ technology (patents pending), the Passport can sense and display your “shadows,” resulting in better translations than ever before. And that’s just the beginning…
Here’s a sampling of the reactions among the lucky folks who got a chance to try it out.
Love the keyboard! Whether your touch is very light or very heavy, this writer will adjust to you.
I was impressed by the high-strength but lightweight metals that were chosen. Plus, every element has been carefully thought out to protect against accidental falls. Clearly this writer was designed to last.
My current writer has given me such a problem with stacked strokes and shadowed strokes. If the Passport will see the difference between perfect and imperfect strokes, I can’t wait to see how much better my steno will translate.
- Exclusive ShadowTrackTM key detection (patents pending) supports enhanced translation accuracy
