There are 2 ways to choose when you click on the - AutoCorrect File button
[ In Reply To ..]
1.Select Yes to import from a chosen Autocorrect file
2. Select No to import directly from Microsoft Word
In the first case you need to know where your *.acl file is on your computer. You can do a Search and if you have more than one, choose the most recently modified one.

We have an article on how to convert Word AutoCorrect into Emdat InScribe on our Knowledge Base found here:
I was just offered a job and the company uses Instant Text as their expander. I have over 1900 entries in Word's autocorrect in the MSO1033.acl file. This has probably been asked and answered a thousand times over, but can't seem to locate the results: Can I take my Word autocorrect and import the entries into Instant Text without have to copy and paste them in individually? I know many of the MTs do use Instant Text. If you can, could you tell me how difficult it is, if it is? Thanks ...
I followed the instructions of a poster below for importing my .acl autocorrect to Instant Text V via the importer. It seemed to go. The question I have now is when I open Instant Text on the bottom right I see glossaries, the first glossary is for the transcription department of the company I will be working for. Then the second position shows my MSO1033.acl. When I highlight that, all my entries are there. But when I close the program and then open again, the MSO file is not there, and I have ...
I want to convert all my shorthand entries to word 2003 as the in-house company I am working for does not allow any outside software to be running on their machines. Anyone know if this can be done and if so how to proceed with same? ...
Hello,
Can anyone tell me how to convert the glo file in Instant Text to autocorrect? I have asked for help from Instant Text with no response. I do not want to/can't afford with the wages today to upgrade, and quite frankly getting sick and tired of what appears to be constant glitches in programs (which IMO are on purpose) to more or less force people into buying newer and better versions. As an MT, I am already in the poor house. When I bought it years ago, I was told ...
I am chaning jobs.
Current company uses IT on company-owned/provided computer (required). The platform is Word-based and has AutoCorrect, but IT is the expander company uses.
New company also will be company-owned/provided computer (required). The platform is the same, but they use AutoCorrect.
Is there any way to convert my IT expanders to AutoCorrect on current company's computer, then somehow transfer file (via email or whatever) to new company computer?
I don ...
Are there any other expansion programs that lets you use the same keyword for multilple entries like Instant Text does? For example, CVA could be either cerebrovascular accident or cardiovascular accident... ...
Hi everybody,
I have been utilizing Instant Text for about 6 months now, which has helped my production. However, I know there are many things I can do to update, improve my Instant Text glossaries. I really do not use the Word glossary because I found that it was hard for me to look at both glossaries at the same time. I mainly use the phrase glossary. For Instant Text users, here are some of my questions:
1. I mainly transcribe ED reports. Do you think it is more productive to ...
I am having problems with Instant Text linking to my word program. I just started w Transcend and they use Beyond Text as their wp. I am using the trial version of IT Pro V and cannot get it to link. The red light will not go off and when i press on the up arrow to link the program nothing happens. I thought it might be b/c the same command to link is also a command in BT but the arrow wont even work. Help! If I cannot even link the program how can I use it! I ...
I'm new to IT and have a question: How do you bold text? I went into "Edit" and see several options but not for bolding.
Yes, it's probably in the manual but I'm on the clock right now so hope someone will post it here.
Thanks! ...
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 ...
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 was wondering if anybody working on the DQS system is able to use Instant Text V and if so, how did you convert it over ? Thank you for any help.

Does anybody use Instant Text? I just started using it and CANNOT figure out how to get "-year-old" to expand without a space in front of the first hyphen. I am ready to scream! Please help! ...
I am having issues with linking Instant Text V Pro with eScription. The greenlight is on saying that it is linked, but I am not able to get any of my keystrokes to work. If anyone is familiar on how to do this please let me know. I would really appreciate it. Thanks!! ...
This was transferred to the tech forum last night but isn't a tech question:
How are MTs naming their short forms now, for example for shortform "ncat" (normocephalic atraumatic) do you use "ncat" or do you use "ncatx"? Thanks. ...
I would like to know if anyone on here uses the Bayscribe platform in IE and uses the Instant Text word expander.. I have Instant Text V and it does not connect, so I am wondering if anyone that has the upgraded version can connect. Thank you! ...
I am trying to use Instant Text with Emdat. I know it is supposed to work, but for some reason it isn't. The shortcuts don't expand, the "period" key doesn't work. The spacebar only makes a space if I hit it twice.
Has this happened to anyone else. Any ideas? ...
This is the stroke to insert a period and space and cap for the new sentence but it is also the IT stroke for linking. How do I get rid of this link combo so I can actually be productive on my EditScrpt on eScription?
TY! ...
I just got a new computer, Windows 7 64-bit and my SmartType does not work. I need a new program and I was looking at Instant Text and SpeedType. Does anybody have those and which one is better???? Appreciate any help you can give me.
Thanks!! Lori ...
Just got Instant Text and can't get the darn think to work. It works when I type in the Instant Text box, but when I link it with Microsoft Word or Medrite and start typing in those apps nothing happens with Instant Text, everything just stays blank. I called the service number and left a message and haven't heard back. ...
