About Dictionary Jumpstart, Inc.
Since 1992, Anissa Nierenberger has pursued her passion for captioning in three distinct areas; Anissa Captions, her proprietary software Dictionary Jumpstart, and training and education programs. Anissa discovered captioning when she was just 14 years old after spending a career day with a reporter in court. Determined to become a stenographer, she pursued her goal and within a year of graduation from court reporting school, she began captioning for TV stations across the United States and Canada.
Anissa has researched and compiled over 200,000 words that makeup 10 different modules and Add-Ons in Dictionary Jumpstart. DJ is the only real-time dictionary-building software in the industry, and it has helped hundreds of reporters improve their dictionaries, and they're realtime.
As an author, Anissa has also published several articles as well as five different books that have helped stenographers write shorter, improve translation and pass real-time certification tests. Over 1200 stenographers have successfully attained their real-time goals and certifications after training with Anissa.
