As we continue the great missionary work of Prophet Noble Drew Ali in this day and age, we require adaptive modern solutions to keep pace with the rapid changes in technology. Here are four useful tools and resources for Moorish organizations.
1. Stenographs for Secretaries
As a former committee secretary of a now dormant Moorish body politic, I know all too well the challenges of writing transcripts for multi-hour meetings using a standard keyboard – albeit having a foot pedal would have helped greatly. Worse yet, I’ve seen other secretaries endure the struggle of handwriting meeting minutes even in the temple. With a stenograph machine and sufficient stenography training, secretaries can become more efficient and accurate with real-time transcription of live meetings.
Stenographs, or steno writers, are specialized keyboards designed for shorthand use. They enable experienced stenographers to write up to 200+ words per minute, a feat that only a small percentage of typists can achieve with standard keyboards. Stenographs can range in price anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. They may be acquired at Steno Works, Acculaw, or another outlet.
Alternatively, you may want to consider hiring an experienced freelance transcriptionist to expediently transcribe your audio or video recordings.
2. Magicard – ID Card Printer
Nationality is the order of the day and a national identity card is essential to establish one’s identity, especially in the United States. Aside from being used by temples to issue nationality cards, the Magicard ID Card Printer can also be used by any other Moorish organization to create identity cards for its staff, visitors, vendors, etc. This will help to ensure that anyone who enters your establishment is authorized and readily identifiable.
With the added security features of a Chipped PVC Card w/ HICO Mag Strip and a compatible card writer, organizations can customize printed cards for use as access / key cards, company credit cards, gift cards, and more! Protect your investment with ID card holders to minimize the risk of frequent card replacements due to wear and tear.
For customized card designs, consider using the card design service that’s provided on this website.
3. Integrated Online Video Conferencing App
Remote video conferences have increased in popularity exponentially since early 2020. Applications like Zoom has proven to be invaluable to organizations around the world. However, the services provided are limited for free accounts and costly for paid subscription accounts. Wouldn’t you rather have your very own Zoom-like app built into your website with no limitations nor costly subscription?
Well, there’s a Moorish solution for that. Host live meetings, webinars, and video calls on your platform with a customizable conferencing application provided by Pagez – a Moorish owned and operated service. Also be sure to check out other services on Pagez to see if they are a good fit for your organization.
4. Canva – Graphic Design Application
In any organization, there are times when graphic-based media are needed to convey important messages. As a graphic designer, I have a great appreciation for how creative designs attract the viewer’s attention more effectively than conventional text-based media. With Canva, you can create appealing graphic designs for flyers, logos, business cards, social media and so much more.
For hassle-free custom made graphics, consider using one of the available design services provided on this website – such as seal and logo designs.
