Instant Text/Editscript & Alt + - ?????


Posted: Dec 03, 2010

Has anyone figured out how to make Instant Text and Editscript work together?  I cannot use the Alt + combo for inserting a period and capitalizing the next letter because that is an Instant Text feature.  Are there any IT glossaries for VR/SR in Editscript anywhere?  Thanks in advance

Using Alt+. and Alt +, in Editscript with Instant Text - Textware

[ In Reply To ..]
This question has been answered many times on the Instant Text Forum. See link below.

Command entries are the solution for all the finger twisting keyboard combination used in EditScript. Instant Text 7 does make this easy.

Alt+. is no longer used in Instant Text 7

Anyone have any good websites for Instant text tutorial or questions?  I did read through productivity talk and did find what I needed.  I have not used this software in years.  I use autotext, but I would like to use the line counting software that comes wtih IT.  I am trying to figure out a short cut to copying text, right clicking on IT , clipboard statistics, and logging each note. Any thoughts on how to do this with keystrokes and NOT the mouse? I am using Scribe Editor ...


Instant Text And VR
Sep 18, 2010

Just wondered about what you all think is the best expander to use with VR. I used to use Shorthand up to a couple of years ago and now work with Instant Text. It seems to me that Shorthand is very very popular with the VR crowd. Does anyone use Instant Text successfully with VR? The version of IT I have (V  Pro) does not have the recording functions and the ability to use shortcuts (like Alt+ and Control+) like Shorthand does. Nor is there there an ability to record commands or key combina ...

I am looking for Instant Text users who may be able to get me headed in the right direction in regards to compilations.  I have been using Instant Text for quite a while now, only adding things on the fly, or using the enrich feature.  I do not understand the compilation feature it seems.  Whenever, I try to utilize this feature I come up with phrases that I really will never hear again, odd things within reports.  For example, the patient's dog's name - lol!&n ...

Instant Text And Integra
Mar 15, 2011

Does anyone use Instant Text with Probity's Integra platform?  I just downloaded IT and am having a lot of difficulty using it.  First, I had to set it to be on the right side of the screen because otherwise the time marker disappeared.  Not a big deal though. When I add an entry while in Integra, it moves the screen down each time I make an entry and the only way I can make the typing screen large again is to exit out of the report back to the RIS screen and then go back i ...


Instant Text Is NOT THAT GREAT!
Aug 31, 2011

I just signed up for the 30-day free trial of Instant Text. This is what I have found: * IT is faster than Shorthand.  * IT has some good features that SH lacks. However, IT also has some annoying limiitations -- just like SH does -- as far as what you can name entries.  For example, when naming an entry you can only use letters, numbers,  _ and - .  No special characters allowed!  Also one-character titles are NOT allowed. This frustrates the heck out of me.  I ...
