EmDat Inscribe Question - IT user


Posted: May 16, 2012

Does anyone know if there is any way to transfer an Instant Text glossary to AutoText inthe EmDat InScribe platform? I have an IT glossary with many thousands of entries but can't get my IT to work with this platform (or maybe it is because I have to use my personal computer which is a Windows 7 64-bit and I only have IT V and I don't want to spend the $ for IT 7 just yet). Any ideas? TIA!

call Emdat tech support - EmdatQA

I know they can import Shorthand entries if you prepare the file for them, so I imagine they can do the same for Instant Text. Just remember that once it is in Emdat, you need to SAVE, SAVE, SAVE that file often for any updates you make because if your computer crashes, you lose your IT entries (the entries reside on your hard drive, not on the Emdat server).

Edited to say: Save your IT entries in a text file like you are going to export it to Shorthand. I think there are instructions in Instant Text.

It may be the version of Internet Explorer you are using. Here is what tech sent me when I asked them why it would not link with my Windows 7 computer and Inscribe:

You may want to use Instant Text 7. Instant Text V does not work with Internet Explorer 8.

Hope this helps

Emdat Inscribe Help

I just started a job using Emdat Inscribe, and my footpedal I ordered hasn't come in yet, so I have been using the function keys to play audio.  I have been doing this for about a week now with no problem, but today I log in to work though and the keys are no longer working.  The only way I can get the audio to play is by using the mouse.  Anyone know why this may be?  I haven't changed any of the settings, so I am not sure why they won't work now.  TIA. ...

Nuance Emdat Inscribe

Emdat/InScribe 4.97 Users - I Need Some Info...

I've been using an old version(4.3) with the OK of the company I transcribe for.  But I'm now having so many technical issues that I need to install the upgrade of 4.97.394. A previous upgrade required the use of the InScribe internal player.  I tried this, bought 2 different foot pedals, and neither one worked for me, as both interfered with my expansions. One pedal I tried was the Start-Stop.  If I was in the process of starting or stopping play at the same time I wa ...

Shorthand Issues With Emdat Inscribe
Jul 22, 2011

I'm trying to use my SH with the Emdat Inscribe platform but have been having some issues. Sometimes when I type a shortcut, it does not expand. Like I will type "tp" and it does not expand to "the patient", it just stays "tp". If I backspace and delete it and retype it again, then it will expand. Also, shorthand is deleting random characters when it expands. Like I will type "nad" and it will expand "no cute distress" instead of "no acute distress". It just deletes random letter!? Ha ...

I just finished the Etrain for Emdat Inscribe and at this point not sure how I will like this platform.  It seemed as though it involves a lot of steps to do everything.  Is this because I'm just not used to it and will it get better for me as I begin to do work?  Lately every company I work for has some awful type of platform that makes it impossible to produce a good amount of work.  Please share your experience in how long it took you to become proficient on this platform.  Thanks ...


Emdat Inscribe And Foot Pedal
Oct 15, 2011

I would like to know what type of foot pedal works with this platform.  I have an Infinity USB 1 foot pedal and find that it doesn't work very well on this platform.  It just seems to get stuck and I can't get it to stop playing or go forward or back...it's driving me crazy and costing me time and money.  I can practically jump up and down on the pedal and it still doesn't stop playing.  I have to manually go to the top of the screen and move the thing at ...

Mar 15, 2012

I just installed this on my computer.  Wow, I was dumfounded.  I have trained to learn Escription, DocQScribe, Pscribe and Chartnet.  I really don't think I am that stupid to learn a new platform, but this has to be the most complicated program I have ever seen.  I did not give up right away -- that is not in my nature.  But after struggling for about 2 hours, I finally gave up.  Honestly if they tried, I don't think the maker of this program could have ma ...

Any Companies That Use Emdat Inscribe Platform?
