ISBN-13: 978-1-888580-36-5, $75.00
64,000 briefs, CD-ROM, ver. 4 (2006)

 

A searchable computer database of over 64,000 conflict-free briefs, phrases, irregular verbs, numbers and commonly used words. It is based on the books “Brief Encounters” (a dictionary of general vocabulary) and “CATegorically Speaking”. Searches can be done by English or steno as well as by words, phrases or both.

Users can add their own briefs via the "My Briefs" feature and include (or exclude) these in the search database. There is also a collection of utilities and fun extras with court reporting themes, in the form of Windows wallpaper designs and Windows screen savers.

"Briefs Encountered ROCKS!!!!!!!! I couldn't work without it." (Andrea Murphy)

"Barely a working day passes that I don't avail myself of Briefs Encountered, usually in the "heat of battle" in the middle of testimony. Whenever I encounter a word that's giving me difficulties writing over and over, I know I can search for that term in Briefs Encountered and have my problem solved instantly. The logic of the shortcuts makes it easy to remember how to write the term. After my CAT software,
I find Briefs Encountered the most valuable program on
my laptop." (Dennis Dinkel)

"Your books and CD's on briefs have given my wrists another 20-year lease on my court reporting life. Thank you!!!!" (Steve Kosmata)

“The first purchase every reporter should make after a steno machine should be Briefs Encountered.” (Jerry Coash)

"I've used Briefs Encountered for years. I captioned my first 'Daily Mass' and was ecstatic to find briefs for so many religious terms. The words themselves are easy to write, but they're uttered fast and often: holy, hosanna, alleluia, Jesus, sacrifice, everlasting, eucharist, apostle, etc. THANK YOU!!!!!! You've made my job a lot easier."
(Lynne Marie Zakrzewski)
