Learning Objectives

Understanding the Boost Family

Identifying and defining each Boost function

Attendees will learn the purpose, scope, and intended use of each Boost feature and how they differ from one another.

• Boost
  A realtime scoping assistant that follows behind the reporter, offering suggested corrections either on demand or automatically, based on reporter-defined settings.
• Boost Flow
  A more active workflow that allows reporters to accept text directly from the speech engine using deliberate steno or keyboard commands during realtime.
• Boost Edit
  An editing-focused tool that allows reporters to compare their transcript against what the speech engine heard, using those comparisons as an efficiency tool during post-session editing.

Configuration and Setup

• Connecting to the speech engine
  Instruction on the available methods for connecting to the speech engine and guidance on selecting the most appropriate option based on workflow, environment, and licensing.
• Core configuration for Boost features
  Attendees will learn how to configure Eclipse settings specific to Boost, Boost Flow, and Boost Edit to ensure accurate and predictable results.
• Required versus optional settings
  Clear guidance on which settings and tools are necessary for proper operation and which are optional or preference-based.
• Managing exclusions
  Instruction on creating and managing speech engine exclusions to prevent unwanted suggestions and improve result quality.
• Vocabulary Management
  Attendees will learn how to prepare the speech engine for case specific names and terms to get the most accurate results possible. 

Workflow Integration

• Choosing the right Boost tool for the task
  Learn when Boost, Boost Flow, or Boost Edit is most appropriate, and that not every tool is appropriate for every reporter. 

Plugins and Supporting Tools

• Recommended plugins
  Attendees will be instructed on recommended plugins that enhance Boost functionality and improve efficiency across Boost, Boost Flow, and Boost Edit workflows.

Practical Application

• Live demonstrations
  Attendees will view live demonstrations of Boost, Boost Flow, and Boost Edit in action to understand expected behavior, typical use cases, and real-world outcomes.
• Interpreting results correctly
  Instruction on understanding Boost suggestions as guidance rather than automatic corrections, reinforcing appropriate professional judgment.
• Enhanced Logging and interpretation
  Using Internet Journaling to yield verbose logging of Boost decision making that attendees will receive instruction on interpreting. 

Troubleshooting and Minutes Management

• Identifying and resolving common issues
  Learn how to recognize and correct common configuration and workflow issues that affect Boost behavior.
• Understanding Boost minute usage
  Instruction on how Boost minutes are consumed, how usage differs between features, and how to monitor and manage usage to avoid interruptions.
