How do I import Bayscribe expander entries into Instant Text? - JustPassingThrough


Posted: Sep 13, 2011

I downloaded the trial version of Instant Text and used the Importer to import my Bayscribe expander entries through Text File.  Either this was the wrong format to use or I did something else wrong because the entries are not expanding.  I was able to get the abbvs.glo file to show up in the glossary entries. 

Can anybody help with this?  Thanks in advance.  

The Importer Help shows you what the file you import - must look like

[ In Reply To ..]
You need to save the Bayscribe list as a text file. As every expansion in this text file has a dedicated short form, you need to make sure it looks like a formula file:
shortform=longform
abd=abdomen
etc.
Then you can use the Formulas button in the Importer to convert the list.
If you need help you can always contact tech support at 781-272-3200 ext 2

Bayscribe And Instant Text
Jul 10, 2012

I recently upgraded to IT Pro 7.20. Immediately after the upgrade my jump codes that I have been using for years in Bayscribe no longer worked for me. When I would expand an entry that contained a jump code up jumps the box Transcription Tools Quick Find (Text To Search for Using Quick Find)>It stopped at my jump code and the box in that window would contain the text of the report following the place of my inserted jump code.  My jump code I set up in Bayscribe is ^ (Shift 6) and ...


Bayscribe And Instant Text 7 Pro
Oct 12, 2014

I've used Instant Text 7 Pro for 2 years on a secure website with Bayscribe on IE 9 (10 isn't compatible last I knew).  I renewed my license this morning (haven't had the funds to buy a permanent one yet).  To my horror, the minute I try my Bascribe expansions with IT docked/linked or insert an IT phrase/word -- Bayscribe completely locks up.  I can't even cancel the document, but have to close IE and start over.  Any help will be much appreciated.  ...

Jun 05, 2010

Anyone out there in MT land know of a way to put my Bayscribe expander onto a different computer.  I thought it was supposed to just automatically download or something if you were switching computers but mine does not.  I tried upgrading the tools and that did not help and neither did taking the tools off and putting them back on.  Any ideas?  I have a bad feeling I can't do it at all and I sure do not want to put all of my expanded terms in all over again.  TIA. ...

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 ...
