BARONdirect's history is inextricably tied to that of court reporters. Beginning with supplying erasable papers to the local market, we have grown alongside our friends into a national provider of everything from steno pads and transcript covers to index/exhibit dividers and floppy disks. But let's go back to the beginning. The son of Baron founder, Charles Davis, developed in the early 1980s the first CAT (Computer Aided Transcribing) system. He named it the Baron Data system. This technological innovation broke the hand-transcribing barrier, giving court reporters an electronic tool that was able to read and transcribe shorthand. Of course, the size of that first system took up an entire room. Today, it fits on a desktop. Over subsequent years, the CAT system under went significant hardware and software improvements. Today, the system enables what's called real time transcribing, allowing everyone on a computer in the courtroom to simultaneously view in-progress transcribing. Our long-standing relationship with court reporters means we provide everything you need for your business. In addition to indispensable legal index/exhibit dividers, we offer court reporters the following essential supplies.

ERGONOMIC PRODUCTS

From keyboard platforms and mouse designs to adjustable CPU stands and foot, wrist and forearm supports, we offer a full range of ergonomic products for court reporters. Our alliance with WorkRite Ergonomics, a leading U.S. supplier of ergonomically designed products, ensures quick shipment and full warranty protection on all orders. In fact, WorkRite warrants its products to be free from defects in materials and workmanship, under normal installation and use, for a period of five years from date of purchase.

ENVELOPES

In addition to a full line of standard #10 office envelopes, from 100% cotton bond to glassine window envelopes, we offer BARON Peel and Seel, envelopes, open end catalog envelopes, as well as legal document and printed court envelopes. Measuring 10 1/4 x 4 3/4 inches, our white, high quality legal document envelopes are ideal for all legal documents, including real estate papers, income tax information, insurance documents, and certificates.

Our printed court envelopes come in White Sulphite or Ivory Craft, and are printed in black ink with your choice of three different layouts. They come in open-end and open-side styles and are available by the box.

We also offer indestructible, waterproof and lightweight Tyvek envelopes, which can be printed to your specifications. Available in plain white and white with a green border and First Class Mail indicia.

STENO PADS

Baron's 30-year commitment to court reporters also includes the development of the industry's best quality shorthand machine paper. Unlike competing steno pad brands, the Baron product is folded, not scored, which results in less dust collection and, therefore, longer lasting machines. Our unique folded pads lie flat in paper trays, are static-free, and are much quieter in the courtroom than competing products. We offer unnumbered and numbered pads, each manufactured without perforations, on premium quality paper to ensure they can be handled without breaking. Pads are individually wrapped for easy opening, and can be purchased by the case (50 pads per case of 300 folds each.)

COPIER PAPER

Always in high demand with court reporters, our pre-punched, 20# high-speed, xerographic and laser bond papers are always on hand. We maintain a large inventory of papers that are velo punched, 3-hole punched or pre-punched for GBC/Spiral bindings. We also offer special savings on plain copier/laser paper.
