Inscribe help... QA marker and fields
Posted By: sm on 2007-08-24

On my acct I am supposed to put brackets and put the time of the marker inside [1.12] for QA to review.
When I put this in and continue, my typing jumps to that field and erases over and over.
Can someone tell me how to prevent this??? It is driving me insane.

What marker key are you using sm
for expansion? I forced myself to use the IT suggested markers instead of the spacebar, and I had the hang of IT in the first week. Could not do without it.
If you can't get used to the marker keys, then
right click on Phrases, go to Options, Marker Keys and pick the ones you want to use. I used the space bar for a long time and maybe this option gave me the comfort to use what I knew. Use what you know for now so you can get used to it. IT really is a great program. I like the single and multiple file compilations too as IT then picks out the terms and phrases that you use a lot for you. Keep trying, it's worth the trip.
I too am trying to understand what a marker is. Thank you for your help.
yellow marker=flame=hot thread
It's supposed to be a flame meaning it is a hot topic receiving a lot of views. You were so close to the answer. =)
Hardest thing was marker keys
But after about a week, I got the hang of them. Actually, that is THE thing that makes IT worthwhile for all the other features. Just choose keys that are easy for you to use.
Also, I used the expansions I had at the time from the old Expander and created a glossary from those, so my familiar expansions were already there. Once I got the hang of the marker keys, then I started utilizing more of the features.
I love my IT!
You'd be even more productive if you used marker keys instead of the spacebar. Using the spaceba

I rarely have expander blips now that I use marker keys.

Good idea although you really wouldn't be able to "feel" the marker but you would feel a st
Sometimes find decals for this in office supplies. OW, just use Magic Marker. nm

Try Resolve, the regular kind, got out permenant black marker from my carpet - worth a shot! - nm

Isn't it time to go to the fields?
Please Amish lady, go pick the pumpkins and the gourds, isn't it that time of year? Then hitch up your horse and buggy and take them down to Wal-Mart to try to sell them.
But there are lots of fields where you can come right out
what you get a degree in. Something like sociology, anthropology, etc. - no, probably not many jobs. Psychology you really need a graduate degree. Social work you can find jobs with a bachelor's but not that well paying, so would need a graduate degree.
But look at a lot of the medical professions - heck, nursing, physical therapy, respiratory therapy, medical technology (except they call it something else now), radiology, pharmacy, etc. etc. - all are BOOMING. Just gotta be smart about what you get your degree in.
Have not in MT field, but in other fields
and how many of us women are the sole support of our families? Many...
Alt + F9 toggles fields on and off.

You need two commands for fields.
You need to add the End command after each Ctrl + F or all your text after the field will be inside the field when you expand it.
switching fields
Many big nationals have every specialty now. If you work for one, ask them if you could just do rad and path. You might find path interesting but rad could be a tad boring.
switching MT fields
I've been doing acute care for almost 30 years, but I would really like to do radiology and/or pathology. What's the best way(s) to get into these fields?
Jumping to fields
Hi everyone! For years I have been jumping to fields in Word by using the F11 key. Does anyone know if I can customize my keyboard to use alt/c to jump around and how to set that up?
Thanks!
I have never seen a white man/woman in the fields.
Who would want to stand in 100 plus degree temps or, in winter, nonstop rain, chilly temps, working the fields or tending the cattle? No one who was raised with sliced bread; they'd probably starve first.
I was married to an ag man (cattle). The immigrants come and go across the border often (visiting family). It is not difficult.
They are keeping the price of the food you eat down.
Admin: I get cut off a lot in the subject/name fields.

don't care for it. too many fields to fill
in because it seems like the demo's are never there and of course you don't get paid for that, then you have to wait for extra screens to come up before you can select the dr/cc/patient name/etc. there's no way to drop the normals in directly without using the menu, the Expander is more hassel than good. it's straight forward to use but I feel it is a slow process since you can't just start typing without filling in numerous fields.
If you are gpod, you can make a LOT more doing MT than either of those fields.

Wherever you want the field, do ctrl F9. Once you have all the fields....sm
in you do F11 to "jump" to each field. Makes life a lot easier.
Hit Alt F9 after you insert your file and you should see your fields. nm

Using fields in Instant Text
If you are typing in MSWord you can create fields for the places where you want to fill in the different type of phrases using shortcuts.
See post:

Add fields with Ctrl + F9 and jump to them with F11. sm
Shift + F11 will take you back to a previous field.
F12 is the shortcut for opening SaveAs.
Does anyone use SmarType and Word using text fields {}? When I F11..sm
to the next field {} it causes SmarType to lock up. Does anyone know how to fix this?
thanks so much
Make 12 cpl but constantly rewinding, going in/out of fields
If you can utilize speed typing engines, have same docs, the format is user friendly, it is possible, in the long run, to make as much as I do at 12 cpl.
I think you should try it for two weeks and consider that after three months you will be twice as fast due to familiarity.
I understand your frustration but this is happening in all fields.
It affects every work situation as technology advances, etc.
The fact is one cannot expect to have a lifelong career in any one line of work without experiencing some times of either changing with the flow or stepping into another line of work.
hit insert button before filling in fields.
see if that works for you. You will need enough space in between or you will type over the next field.
you also can do columns but I am not good at those; hopefully someone else will come along with info on that.
There are ESL specialists in all fields & all over the country. You've just been extremely lucky
s
The easiest way for this one is to insert blank fields with Ctrl + F9. You jump to
each field with F11. You use Shift+F11 if you skip a field and need to go back. If you don't see your fields in the doc, hit Alt+F9 to show or hide fields.
Bookmarks and cross-reference fields are used when you have static information you need to pull into a field. That isn't the case when you are dealing with variable info.
You'll hear this claim in all fields by "the suits"
I've said it before and I'll say it again...back that sh^t up with a specific name or a place so there can be actual consequences. I can throw anything in quotes and say I heard it from somewhere or someone. It holds no water and only serves to get people workedup for an invisible fight.
Am I doubting what she heard is true? Maybe, maybe not. It can't be proven because there is no factual evidence provided. However, my mother was an LPN and she always said her higherups referred to her as nothing more than an overpaid candystriper or overpaid a$$ wiper. My father, a machine mechanic, said he was referred to as an overpaid janitor. It's a wicked old and wicked lame argument to get the reader or listener riled up to basically do nothing and it's amateur stuff. But, that's just me.
SHOW US THE NAMES! Then we can gather our pitchforks, burning keyboards, and Betty Crocker aprons and go to war!

If you F1 into the bracketed fields and then hit the space bar, the bracketed field will delete. I avoid this by just starting to type after I F1 into the fields - No need to hit the space bar. The blanks being bracketed are helpful when you need to go back and listen, you just F1 to it, find your place on the voice file, and fill in the blank. If you're not hitting the space bar, I'm not sure what the problem is.

Has anyone heard of the company Inscribe? If so what is your opinion on them. Thanks
Inscribe
I just started with them a month ago - I work weekends only. They are family-oriented company, about 100 employees. Everyone I have dealt with have been super nice. They have mainly hospital accounts - some clinics. Not too hard to learn. WGMs are very helpful if you get stuck or have questions.
Inscribe
I actually just got a job with them. They had called me and set up the programs but they had told me that I need to take a training class and someone would contact me. I have not heard anything yet. Hopefully it will work out. I am not even sure what specialty I am typing on.
Inscribe
About a week or so. They just called me and ask me when I wanted to install their program.
Inscribe
Can I get Inscribe's website please?
Using IT with Inscribe
Hi Heather,
Did you download the latest revision for Instant Text? If so, the next step would be to establish your Link Options to tell IT to recognize & link to Inscribe. From that point, it should function as normal. If you are still having trouble, it would be best email tech support directly at support@textware.com
Kind regards,
Kristen

Laura, Are you working for InScribe right now? Did you get everything set up?
I use InScribe...sm
and I saw this new option in the "upgrade", but my company, thank God, does not try to screw us out of money by using the "Qualified Lines" instead of the "Standard Lines". I also watched the flash demo on Emdat's website. It clearly stated something to the effect of--with this new option more money goes to the MTSO and less to the MT--that may not be word for word, but it is pretty darn close, because I remember thinking, "WTH?!" I thank God for my company and their integrity for not taking advantage of me, but I bet there are a LOT of companies who won't be so decent about it. Disgusting!
EMDAT/Inscribe
I'm lost. This is something I don't think I've heard of. Could someone explain how it works and where I would have to get it?
Thanks
EMDAT/Inscribe
It is not something you go and get unless you are starting up your own business. It is a type of VPN that some MTSOs use. Personally, I hate EMDAT and Inscribe is not much different. I have worked on both and disliked them both. I have yet to work with either that provided anything less than a sub-rate spell checker. You can add words of course, but that takes time that you do not get paid for. I rely on auto-complete in my Word program, which you cannot use with either system. Overall I give it a thumbs down, but that is just my opinion. I run from any ad suggesting EMDAT/Inscribe.
EMDAT/Inscribe
I cannot tell you how wonderful it is to know that I am not alone in my feelings about EMDAT/Inscribe. I quit a job after just 2 days because I hated it so. The MTSO could not understand why I wasn't "in love" with her system. I told her why, but she refused to listen. Maybe there are MTs who love it, but it is on my highly dislike list. Will never work with it again unless I am forced to.
EMDAT/Inscribe
How difficult is this platform to learn? Also, is it difficult to get a good line count if you have a decent account?
TIA
Emdat/Inscribe
Why do want to type in word? I use this program also and type reports in the window provided by the program. Maybe I am not understanding your question.
Emdat/Inscribe
Yes, I have noticed that also. What I do is listen for the info needed, then access wherever it needs to go. Sometimes I may need to write it down if its alot. Pain in the you know what I know.
Inscribe is great!
Although I've never used another platform :) I started working as an MT in June and have 2 jobs which both use Inscribe. I love it and found it very easy to use. There is an online tutorial that will walk you through everything. I don't know anything else, so I have no comparison's for you.
InScribe upgrade
I sent this question to Inscribe and the answer I received from this is below it. I'm going to upgrade and then "back up" if I have to until I can in get a pedal. This does at least give us warning that the upgrade will be forced later on.
Q: I have not upgraded to 4.91 InScribe, but still use 4.3.202. I have been told that the upgrade will not allow Express Scribe?
A: This is mixed results. I know some people are using express scribe sucessfully, but there are some issues with windows Vista and espressscribe
I believe they meanwith the new version. Also there is a USB configuration tool for footpetals built into InScribe that may work for you as well.
The only way to test it is to really just try it out. You can always uninstall the new version and download the previous version, although in the near future the new version of InScribe will be a forced update.
I just use the F keys with InScribe
Go to Options, Set actions, and select which F keys you want to have which function. I thought I would die at first, now I don't think I would go back to the pedal!
