CATapult: The only software where you open your CAT translation software and write words against your dictionary, so you can detect problems/potential conflicts AS YOU BUILD.

Monette Benoit’s materials, www.CRRbooks.com, and CATapult CD series are wonderful for dictionary building and test prep, too. They are highly recommended by captioning companies for transitioning reporters and have been a tremendous help to me. Suzanne Small, RDR, RMR, CRR, CBC, CPE, CSR

Kathy DiLorenzo, RDR-CRR-CBC: As you’re beginning to undertake this huge, but rewarding endeavor...while theory, speed and accuracy are the foundation to becoming a successful captioner, equally important to the process is your strategy to reach your goal and keeping the bigger picture in view. I’ve had a long history in training captioners, and it is my belief that the strongest captioners are those who are strong writers. Seems simplistic, I know, but the reason that they’re strong writers is not because they’ve got perfect fingers on perfect hands (There are successful men in our profession whose hands barely fit on the keyboard!). The reason that they’re strong writers is because they can process information at a very rapid pace. And they can process information quickly because they ’know’ what they’re writing. You can’t write well what you don’t know and what you don’t understand. In the end, it’s all about words, but you’ve got to know the words and the subjects.

Toward that end, I want to recommend to any newbies out there that the materials that you are using to prepare to caption are equally important as the actual writing skills. One product that I would highly recommend is the ’CATapult Your Dictionary’ CD Series.

Monette Benoit has a long and illustrious career in developing materials that give captioners and captioner-wannabes the ’knowledge’ that they need to caption well. The CD Series includes a realtime dictionary builder that is compatible with any CAT system, and it even allows you to import your own lists or lists that are shared on this forum and others. CATapult contains over a half a million words among 420 categories ... You can find out more about CATapult by visiting http://www.catapultdix.com/. Kathy DiLorenzo, RDR-CRR-CBC
