Chapter 3 Writing on the Luminex
entry that conflicts with the Spell Mode feature. For example, you want to J-Define the misstroke for
TKELG as “Dell.” You write the steno stroke TKELG in the J-Define Steno field and TKEL in the J-
Define Text field. Since the Spell Mode feature uses TKEL for <Delete Space>, the Luminex
automatically enters <Delete Space> in the J-Define Text field. It is necessary to fingerspell Dell in
order to define TKELG as “Dell.”
The exception to Spell Mode priority is for the #*. The #* is internally defined in the Luminex as Delete.
If a dictionary used for translation contains another definition, the definition in dictionary takes priority.
When you use Power Define commands from a Case CATalyst Power Define dictionary loaded onto
the Luminex to create J-Defines, the Spell Mode feature is disabled and the Power Define dictionary
takes the highest priority over other dictionaries in the J-Define feature.
Create J-Defines Using the Power Define
You can use Power Define commands from a Case CATalyst Power Define dictionary loaded onto
the Luminex, in lieu of Spell Mode, to create J-Defines. The Power Define dictionary allows the use of
your customized dictionary entries to fingerspell, write format commands and navigate within the
J-Define feature. When you load your Case CATalyst Power Define dictionary onto your Luminex, the
Spell Mode feature is disabled and the Power Define dictionary takes the highest priority over other
dictionaries only in the J-Define feature. If you are using Case CATalyst V13 or higher when writing
realtime via micro USB connection, the definition is sent to the global table of the Case CATalyst
realtime file.
When creating a J-Define, the Power Define dictionary loads into the dictionary priority list but does
not display in the list of Job Dictionaries. A Power Define entry takes priority if it conflicts with another
dictionary entry. When finished creating J-Defines, the Power Define dictionary is removed from the
dictionary priority list and is not used for realtime translation.
Since the Spell Mode feature is disabled and it contains alphabetical characters, numbers and format
symbols, you may want to put specific format symbols definitions in your Case CATalyst Power
Define dictionary to use with the J-Define feature. For example, let's say you use the Colloquy format
symbol in your J-defines for speaker identifications. In your Power Define dictionary, you have an entry
using the steno, KOL, with the <Colloquy> format symbol entered in the Text of the definition. You
export the Power Define dictionary along with any other dictionaries to the Luminex. When writing a
job, you select to J-define, you write the steno for the speaker, the command to move to the text
definition and then you stroke “KOL” in the Text field to insert the <Colloquy> format symbol followed
by a speaker name. This makes it easy to define unknown speakers on the fly on your Luminex. See
the Case CATalyst Help for information on creating Power Define dictionary entries in Case CATalyst.
You may want to review the Spell Mode entries for Punctuation and Format Symbols before exporting
your Power Define dictionary. To remove the Power Define dictionary from your Luminex and use the
Luminex default Spell Mode entries for J-Defines, use CATalyst's export feature again and select your
dictionaries without selecting the Power Define dictionary.
