Instant Text with Internet Explorer 7 and/or 8 - peanut


Posted: Mar 04, 2010

I have installed Internet Explorer 7 (and tried 8 too) and my Instant Text will not work.  It doesn't link up (even though it appears to be linked).  My version says Instant Text V Pro.  Should this work or do I need a newer version.  I cannot really find anything on the Internet regarding this problem.  When I looked at purchasing a new copy it said Instant Text V Pro, so I don't want to buy what I already have.  I have had this for many years though. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!  Thank you!

My IT V Pro works with Internet Explorer 7 & 8. - SM

Make sure you are using their latest revision.

Are you just clicking the link arrow or are you opening the dialog box and making sure IT is linked?

Thanks! - peanut

I was clicking open the dialog box. I just ordered a new copy.

Internet Explorer
Jul 01, 2014

So many websites now are giving the message that the version of IE that we have to use in order to do our work for Nuance is obsolete, not supported. I'm wondering if that could be why my computer is running so slowly lately. (When I Google something now, I literally go back to my report and keep working while the Google page is coming up). It never used to be like this. Has anybody else noticed this? I even called my internet provider and upgraded to turbo speed over the weekend, but I ...

Internet Explorer 8 Question
Dec 01, 2011

It was STRONGLY suggested by my tech guy that I upgrade to IE8, as IE7 has many security risks.  Not to mention Gmail and some other sites all post that little blurb saying "I see you are using an outdated browser, etc, etc, etc.  But I use this PC for work, when companies do not provide equipment.  As a matter of fact, this was a work computer that I bought from a company. Anyway, how many companies, software, programs, etc are IE8 compatible?  Will I be shooting myself in ...

I just retired - Yeah!  Anyway, I had to use IE 8 while working at Nuance and it made my computer so, so slow.  On some sites, it froze.  The first thing I did on retirement was upgrade to IE 11, and you cannot believe the difference.  My internet now is super fast.  Also, I may not have retired completely if I could just have had more time off without pay.  For example, this week I have been sick and I had no PTO remaining.  I would have to have made up ...

Desktop Icon & Internet Explorer Problems
Dec 30, 2011

Have any of you had this problem? (1)  Most days, when I first start my PC, the desktop icons won't appear.  I'll get the background screensaver picture, but nothing to click on.  Is there a certain combination of keys you can hit to make the icons appear?  Or to open Explorer?  Currently the only way I can deal with this is to shut down the PC and then restart it.  Sometimes it takes as many as 4 or 5 tries before the icons will finally appear.

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 ...
