Know this is an old post, but if you're still out there, Carol, how did you get IT to link to Scribe? My IT V Pro doesn't even give Scribe as an option to link to.
Looking for advice from current users of Scribe. I've been an MT for nearly 30 years and have always used Word. About to start with a new company that uses Scribe. I know it is Word-based, but I am concerned that all my auto text and macro entries that I rely on so heavily will not work on Scribe. And what about normal inserts that are 2-3 paragraphs long that I have set up to enter by just hitting a couple keys? Also is it possible to just type in Word and copy and paste? I don ...
Can anyone tell me how they linked InstantText when using the Scribe platform? I've never had trouble linking IT before, but Scribe doesn't even come up as an option to link to. Thanks. ...
editor like? LOL, what is an HTML editor? Can you make $$$ using the Scribe platform? I guess you cannot use MSWord since you have to have a 3rd party expander and not use autocorrect. ...
How difficult is the Scribe platform? I have used Dictaphone, ExEditor. Any TransPortal MT longer than 1 year employed what are your thoughts on workload, do they run out, flexibility, are they super strict on schedules, etc. Any info would be helpful as I am so frustrated and nervous about what to do next in this business and I am not a newbie-been doing this a long while now. Thanks for the 411. ...
I'm wondering if anyone knows if Dragon Naturally Speaking is compatible with Transportal's platform, I believe it's Scribe? This is the home version, which worked quite well in the past. I know there are a few that won't allow third party software and the program will be blocked. I understand why as regard to HIPAA, etc. I'm just trying to keep working as long as I can with RA.
If anyone is using Dragon in conjunction with MTSO platform, I' ...
I have voice files sent to me that I cannot play in Windows Media or Express Scribe. They will load in ES but show 00:00 duration. I thought possibly it was an encryption error as they possibly they are coming that way to be because they are secure but I sent to a friend and she can open them and play them. Windows Media states something about a missing codecs and I have installed if known codecs to man (I am on Windows XP). They just will not play or show the duration etc.&nbs ...
Someone recently had an issue with Shorthand and Autocorrect both operating at the same time, and they were apparently fighting with each other, because both of them had some of the same expansions/corrections, so the user was getting duplicate text.
I finally worked out a system for myself where Shorthand is used for actual expansions, shortcuts, etc. Autocorrect is restricted to correcting misspelled and mis-capitalized words.If I have done it correctly, never the twain should meet, and I can ...
I've been using Shorthand all along on my work computer and love it, particularly the fact that it works anywhere - email, Word, platforms, etc.
I recently downloaded the trial version for my home computer, but, while it works fine in Word documents, it won't work at all anywhere else. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? ...
Ok, I downloaded Short Hand expander program but, for the life of me, it looks just like the standard auto expander/auto correct that comes with word. I've looked over the very brief tutorial that came with it and I don't see where this will increase my productivity anymore than my current Word-based AC/AE work for me.
All those Short Hand experts out there (and I believe there are at least a few of you), can someone tell me how this works differently than what I'm already usin ...
Do you have a Shorthand 10 program to spare me that's not limited only for 30 days? I just updated to Windows 7 and badly needs a shorthand expander compatible for Windows 7.here's my email just in case:top_v_gun@yahoo.com
Thanks! ...
that message again about your Shorthand license will expire in ??? days? Just wondering if it's just me ~ or they trying to tell me I will not have a job in 20 days? ...
Since I'm unable to use MS auto correct with my current platform I explored Shorthand, a program I used years ago. They've gotten too smart for me. All I want to do is add words on the fly. The screen I get when invoking SH10 shows no way to save any entry I might make. Surely I'm missing something here. If anyone can point the way I'd appreciate it--enter text, save and move on. Thanks. ...
Does it work interactively in MS Word? Can you easily transfer your entries from Autocorrect to Shorthand?
I was checking out Instant Text but apparently now you have to download it, not avail on disk. I think this means if your computer crashes and/or you want it on a new computer you have to RE-BUY it (at almost $200)...yeah I don't think so!
...
I'm getting a company computer and will be working on that one and mine. They don't allow Shorthand (or any other program) to be put on their computer, so need to convert my Shorthand to Word autocorrect entries for the work computer. I would do it manually (you know, one entry at a time) but I have about 4500 entries and need an automated way.
Thanks in advance ...
Don't know why this is not working . . . I need to get the "Suggestion Window Font" to a bigger size. I have changed the font to say Times New Roman 14 and it shows that it changed it in the "Suggestion Window Font" but when I go into my report and run a shorthand word it stays small, never changed. I got everything else to a bigger font except for this. I hit "okay" after I changed it.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks!
...
I know that if you use Autocorrect, your information needs to be transferred over into Editscript. If you use Shorthand instead, how do you go about getting THAT information transferred over into Editscript? Thanks!!! ...
Can anyone tell me if eScription works with Shorthand and, if it does, does it work well? Will be changing to eScription soon and need to know before purchase. Thanks for any help. ...
Does anyone know if
Shorthand works with the radiology MT
program called RADNET? I have used
Shorthand for over 12 years and it is my
life-line and want to keep it if I take this
other account with RADNET.
Thanks! ...
I just switched to Shorthand 10. I have 2 problems with it that are quite aggravating and wondered if anyone else had figured them out. First is the first letter of expanded capitalized phrases (in word list) never being capitalized. Second is the suggestion window is so far from the typing area that it is almost useless. Thank you in advance for any help. ...
I am utilizing shorthand as an expander. During entering shortcuts, I seem to be inadvertantly pressing more than one key (my flying fingers) that is shutting shorthand down in the middle of a report. It is a bear to try to finish a report without the use of shorthand (we do get so used to it). It there a way to turn shorthand back on while you are in a report, instead of finshing the report long hand and then closing down the transcription application and reloading it to bring ...
I am running Shorthand in the Acuity platform. When I type quickly, sometimes my shorthand entries do not expand. Is there anyway to fix this? TIA! ...
Does anyone know if Shorthand works with EXTText or do you have use the built in expansion program in EXText? If so, is there a way to copy your Shorthand entires into that program? Thanks in advance! ...
