Description:
If only we didn’t have to deal with boundary issues and stacking, we’d be better realtimers! And the sad reality is that stacking always wins. It’s our job to fix it! You’re in luck because Anissa is a “pro” stacker and has resolved over 400 issues in her 30-year captioning career. She’ll show you how to fix issues with “to go,” “to do” and so many others. And why can’t my realtime respect my boundaries? Even if we define these as conflicts, it’s rare that they get properly resolved. Be prepared to fix these issues that just might have been plaguing you for a very long time!

Learning Objectives: Applies to NCRA 3.04
1. Resolve word boundary issues in realtime AND in the dictionary!  Most reporters do one but NOT the other. Consistency is KEY to having the best realtime possible
2. Resolve stacking issues and learn new outlines for stacked words
3. Identify that the dictionary is the most important tool that a reporter possesses

About the Presenter:
Anissa Nierenberger has pursued her passion for captioning in three distinct areas; her proprietary software Dictionary Jumpstart, her captioning company Captionique, and as a coach and trainer in her educational programs. Anissa discovered stenography when she was just 14 years old after spending a career day with a court reporter in court. Determined to become a stenographer, she pursued her goal and within a year of graduation from court reporting school, she began captioning for television. She’s captioned local newscasts in numerous U.S. markets and Canada; NBA, MLB, NHL, and NFL games; state legislature sessions, tech company events, religious conventions, and more recently she’s done media captioning.

In 2000, Anissa founded Dictionary Jumpstart, a realtime dictionary-building software that has helped thousands of reporters improve their dictionaries and allowed them to explore other areas of reporting, including broadcast captioning and CART captioning. As an author, Anissa has also published several articles as well as books that include the Drug Speller; Simple Syllables; Simpler Syllables; A Jump Back in Time, and most recently, Fantabulous Families.

Anissa is a past President of MAPCR (Michigan Association of Professional Court Reporters) and has been a member of NCRA (National Court Reporters Association) for over 25 years. She has presented seminars on realtime, captioning, dictionary building, and Dictionary Jumpstart to state and national associations.
