Emdat Inscribe - Auto Text? - Elssa


Posted: Jul 13, 2012

Thanks to those who replied about the Inscribe foot pedal rewind..  That works well now.

Just wondering about Auto Text now.  I used to use that with my last account with Word 2000; highlight a common phrase, then Alt-F3.  The phrase would then pop up in a little screen tip above the word or letters I used to name the phrase.  I used this along with ShortCut macro program - had used both of them a lot.  

Inscribe doesn't seem to have anything like this Auto Script, where the phrase appears as you're typing, or does it?  I would really like to have this feature or something similar. I can use my ShortCut with Inscribe, but need Auto Text as well.

Thanks again.

Emdat has autotext - F10 - works great! You may want to take a look at the Inscribe manual - you can get it on line at Emdat.com/software

Thanks, I guess I was hoping they had something like in Word where the auto text popped up on top, rather than a macro.

Another thing I liked with the old program (TranScript/Word) was that you had the F4 function, so if you typed in the preoperative diagnosis and the doc said postoperative diagnosis is the same, you just hit F4 and it would copy it. Nothing like that in Inscribe?

Check with your company if it is okay for you to copy/paste in the platform from outside. If yes, then simply type in Word outside the platform and then paste in the finished report in EMDAT. I do that, but then I don't use TABS for numbering, only spaces.

Emdat Inscribe & Intant Text Issue
Apr 06, 2015

I recently had to upgrade to Emdat Inscribe version v4.180.633. I had actually upgraded to this version on my own a couple months back but then reverted back to the older version because of this issue. However, we were told by management to update to this newer version recently, so now I have no choice. My issue is that when I expand an IT entry, the last letter of the expansion is deleted when I hit a key (any key... space bar, punctuation key, etc.). I looked in the settings for Inscribe to ...


ITYPE And Auto-text

Anyone here work with the iTYPE program with Word? Whenever I put auto-text in, it is gone the next day. I am not getting any technical support from the IT people.

Word 2010 Auto Text
May 28, 2011

Need Help With Macros/auto Text In Microsoft Office 7 Professional Version
Oct 08, 2010

I will start working from home as an MT next week, however have discovered that the software (Microsoft Office 7, Professional Version) required by the company is quite different from 2003 version.  I have used autotext for years when transcribing by simply highlighting and saving to keyboard strokes easy to remember, but the 07 version has several other names for autotext like building blocks, etc, and will only allow 255 characters.  I have tried setting up a macro, as well with diff ...

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. ...

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.

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 ...


Emdat Inscribe - It Involves A Lot Of Steps To Do Everything

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 ...
