ProCAT® Blaze – Refurbished Student Steno Writer

The ProCAT Blaze is a premium student steno writer built on the same proven technology found in ProCAT’s higher-end machines. Combining comfort, reliability, and real-world performance, the Blaze delivers a smooth, professional-style writing experience at a student-friendly price.

Designed for students, CART writers, and captioners on a budget, the Blaze uses the same underlying architecture as more advanced ProCAT writers. Features such as a multi-processor design, fast realtime protocol, and a color LED-backlit touchscreen make the Blaze stand out among student writers in its class.

What Makes the ProCAT Blaze Stand Out

• ProCAT keyboard technology: Built on the same ergonomic, performance-focused platform used in professional ProCAT machines.
• Color touch LCD: LED-backlit touchscreen display for easy access to settings and status information.
• Multi-processor design: Independent processors handle realtime output and system monitoring for increased reliability.
• Fast realtime protocol: Uses the same high-speed realtime protocol found in other ProCAT professional writers.
• Lightweight & portable: At approximately 4.8 lbs, the Blaze is one of the lightest full-featured steno writers available.
• Reliable internal storage: Dual storage banks provide both flash file storage and keystroke memory backup.
• Excellent battery life: Up to 10–11 hours per charge, ideal for full class days.
