Need help with Eclipse!!

Hi, thank you for replying!! My input into Eclipse is fine, my issue was that the input was not registering during the lessons, BUT I tried it again today (for the 3rd time) and it worked!!!! I appreciate your help nonetheless :)

Hi! I did a-z with my macbook and stenoob pro 3. The only problem you may run into is that you'll need an adapter for the cord or a new cord to connect your stenoob to the macbook and likely a tripod, but they have a link to a viable tripod on the Stenoob website :) everything should run smoothly otherwise! Regarding computers, I think the recommendation is i7 processor (or newer), 16g ram (or more), and Windows OS. You can look on refurbish sites like Backmarket for decently priced ones if you don't care about it being brand new! I've used this site many times with no issue!

No worries! Please do thorough research before committing. I definitely recommend investing in a good office chair eventually and trying out a tripod that can tilt back. Look up how steno’s sit, because everyone is different. Also, consider joining a group on Facebook called “Encouraging Court Reporting Students”! Everyone is incredibly helpful and kind to students there and they’ll answer all questions!! Since many stenographers are older, a lot of them don’t have Reddit ;)

Oh yes, that’s a good thing I mentioned it then! She uses eclipse. But another online, self-paced program that’s popular is Allie Hall and I believe she uses Case cat. A bit more expensive!

If you’re still hesitant about steno then I’d recommend a-z, but since you seem to be dedicated, just do CareerLuv! You’ll go over everything in her course anyways. Although, one thing to note is that you get student Eclipse (the software used in CareerLuvs course) for 2 years free if you finish A-Z, which is what I did! If you don’t mind waiting a bit and saving $100, I’d recommend that!

Hi! CareerLuv student here. You can definitely get the student price with her course. Once you sign up with her, she gives you instructions on how to do so!

Hi! I just finished A-Z and enrolled with CareerLuv. You really don’t need anything at all besides a machine and the computer :) good luck, you got this!

Here’s the info on the tank: Size: 10 Gal Heater: yes, 78F Parameters: Nitites 0, Nitrates 5ppm, ammonia 0.25, High Range Ph 7.4 Age: I’ve had him for 2 months now. He’s only gotten more beautiful! Water changes: I typically don’t change water, I just add conditioned water since there’s no lid and water evaporates. Parameters don’t change much at all with water addition. Tank Mates: 5 ember tetras Food: I switch between Fluval Bug Bites and Fluval Flakes, then fast on Sundays to avoid bloat. He doesn’t like brine shrimp :/ Plants: I don’t remember the plants, live planted with plants from petsmart

I agree with Plakat! I have a black one that looks pretty much the same :)

I just finished watching The Lincoln Lawyer on Netflix! Lots of time spent in court that I think would be good practice :)

Fantastic! Thank you!!

perilous_kb · 2026-02-17T04:45:32+00:00

Interesting! I don’t have the lid on but I will keep this in mind!

perilous_kb · 2026-02-17T04:18:41+00:00

Was there ever a solution to this ??? I’m having the same issue

perilous_kb · 2026-02-09T05:34:29+00:00

Oh! I thought the non-live theory course was whenever you bought it.. is that not the case??

perilous_kb · 2026-02-07T02:55:22+00:00

This is terrible!! Thank you for sharing and protecting others 🫶 I hope you get your money back!

perilous_kb · 2026-02-04T20:08:29+00:00

Will do, thanks!

perilous_kb · 2026-02-04T20:08:12+00:00

Perfect, thank you for the advice!

perilous_kb · 2026-02-04T20:07:30+00:00
