Shorthand has a built-in converter - SH user

Bring up the main window, point/click on File, point/click on Run File Converter. Point/click the file you want to convert. Point/click .txt. Point/click Open.

The converter runs and you have a txt file.

That does not work on SH10 as you have to pick the source file and destination file...and it wont let you choose txt as the destination file. The Shorthand people had to send me a file to download into shorthand in order to convert files....Thanks.

Copy Shorthand Files Into AutoCorrect?
Jun 01, 2015

I have a potential job offer but it would be using their computer with Dolbey Fusion and I am not allowed to use Shorthand expander but they said if I have files in Autocorrect they will transfer them for me. I know there is a way to get autocorrect files into Shorthand and I am pretty sure there is a way to do the reverse but I can't figure it out and I have searched for days online without success. Of course Shorthand customer service won't help me. They just keep asking me why I ...

Gear Player Wont Convert Files?
May 24, 2013

Hey guys, I'm so frustrated because for some reason my Gear Player will not play my files. This is the second time this has happened. I don't know what I did the first time to make it work, it just sort of happened. When I get work, the files will automatically go into Gear Player, but then when I try to load to file it says "Converting File" and then it just never loads. It doesn't make any sense because it happens to files that I've already played too so I know they should ...
