Every Flash writer is refurbished, tested, and certified by our technician and backed by a written 2-year parts and labor warranty. This package also includes a realtime cable and a FREE USB-to-Serial adapter so you can connect to compatible CAT software systems.

Steno Guru Tip – Why Choose the Flash?

The ProCAT Flash is a great choice if you want a lighter, simpler professional writer with strong battery life and no floppy disk drive to worry about. It compares most closely to a Stentura 6000-style feature set, but with better battery life, lighter weight, and removable flash-memory card storage instead of disk storage.

Compared with the Stentura 8000LX, the Flash does not provide English translation directly on the LCD screen. The 8000LX is the better choice if you specifically want English readback on the writer screen. The Flash displays steno notes on the LCD and is best for writers who want dependable realtime output to CAT software, paperless storage, and a lightweight professional machine at an affordable price.
