Thanks for explaining commands

In Reply to: Instant Text commands - Marianne Kleen
Thanks for explaining how I would put a command together. I did purchase Cheryl and Jon's Word Command glossary by periodtocomma and commatoperiod was not in it. So I will be creating a lot of my own commands. If you have anymore commands that are like the one you just explained to me or know where I can from some I would really appreciate it you could tell me where to find them. I am trying to use my keyboard more and not that MOUSE! I need to speed up!!! Thanks

Thank you for explaining! :) (nm)

Thank you for explaining what
Thank you for giving me examples of what feedback can look like. Maybe some day I will find a company that offers me constructive, supportive and respectful feedback. Like I mentioned, I receive no feedback. Just my blanks are filled in or left blank because QA did not know either!
Thank you for explaining *sm*
I feel like I have a pretty good idea of how it works now. Since IT is somewhat expensive, I wanted to understand the basics before the purchase! :)
Also, here is another very basic question...what exactly is a platform? I've heard it mentioned a lot, but haven't figured out exactly what it is.
Thanks!!!
RIGHT! Thanks for explaining that better than I did. nm

It's our governments way of explaining. It's not

okay, thanks for responding/explaining..NM
Thank you, Explaining Ebonics, this all
makes sense and is very logical to me.
Isn't this then also the same problem when we correct VR?
Then we first read the word in the downloaded document, then listen to it, then think what it might be.
So we are confronted with 3 versions, sometimes.
letter explaining that since they have determined
we are 20% more productive with ASR we deserve a 20% pay cut. Do you suppose they are giving the client a 20% break? Yes, it IS the entire company, anyone that does Automated Speech Recognition.
Thank you for explaining, Busybee! I kept seeing people
refer to "the other board" and I had no idea what that was! I was just curious!
Would you mind explaining why you think this is against HIPAA?

I've been getting e-mails explaining it.
Maybe you aren't on company e-mail or you haven't checked it?
Thanks for explaining! Makes more sense

c-phone commands
my foot pedal died and i am needing to do transcription using the phone's numerical keypad commands all weekend (oh joy) until my new foot pedal gets expressed to me next week. does anyone have a list of commands to work using the keypad only? so far, i know 1 is stop, 4 is rewind, 4 is play, 6 is fast forward, 7 is close job, ## is job header info. i can't remember how to speed up the dictator's speed and slow it down, and those other handy dandy commands. any help is MUCH appreciated.

Dictaphone VR commands
HELP! Can someone tell me how to start and stop the speech flowing for Dictaphone VR? Any other commands would be great too! thank you.
Your company should have given you the commands. Other

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.
C-phone commands
I got a C-phone manual (PDF) online, but it doesn't have any info as to key pad strokes to use to call into a system. Do you have that info that you could share? I'm getting desperate!
I give once a day if shopping and don't bother explaining if I gave elsewhere. nm

Explaining my occasional bitter-/crankiness
I confess, I am one of those that will occasionally toss a snide comment in. I don't think I have ever gotten to the point of being brutally mean, but I have been snippy. And it may be petty and it may be unnecessary, but, in my case anyway, it stems from a frustration when obvious newbs post a question that at least in my mind seems simplistic (based on the s/l they are able to provide) and should either be a common knowledge type thing or else easily findable. After a day of plodding through ESLs, rapid-fire dictators, or reports that have more chromosome testing than I have chromosomes, I do get a little cranky when someone who probably only makes $50 less a week than I do posts on here asking what 'conjecture hard fail your' might be and respond in a somewhat less than mature way.
Correcting commands in Dragon
Good Morning Ladies and Gents:
I am a reasonably expert user of Dragon, having used it for about four years. I recently bought a new computer, and put Dragon 7.30 on it. I got the new XP 64 bit. Wow, what a dream for the Dragon.
However, while I had no problem with this with my previous computer, with this one it will not follow the command "new line" when I want the cursur to drop down to the beginning of the next line.
It keeps typing the word "united." It will however follow the command "new paragraph." When I ask it to correct "united," it gives me options, none of which are the one I want.
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks,
John
Shortcuts for commands and macros
>Anyone know if InstanText can handle "code" (like WordVBA >macros) in the Expanders like SH8 can?
Instant Text lets you add commands and macro keyboard shortcuts into a glossary entry. You can use easy-to-type short forms for these entries that execute a command or a macro.
These command and macro entries are also very much used for editing. See post below.

conflict of keyboard commands
Hi there, I would really appreciate some help here...I am transcribing on a word document, the sound file has been e-mailed to me, I am listening to the dictation in Windows Media Player. I don't have my footpedal working with this---but am just trying to use keyboard commands and when I do, the keyboard commands are being utilized by the word program. In other words, play/pause is CNTL P and when I do that, I get the print window. Is there a way to alleviate this conflict? They sent me a sound file player but Windows Media keeps overriding it and there is too much dumb in me tech wise to figure out how to use the other sound file player. If anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciate it. I just get a teeny bit of this guy's work but it's a big pain in my big behind to keep grabbing the mouse and stopping/starting etc.....thanks in advance!!!
conflict of keyboard commands
thanks, i'll check into that--my only concern is that the platform I work from for another job pulls the sound file into windows media so I'm just hoping using express scribe doesn't screw it up....I've been told of express scribe before, guess I'd better give it a look.. Thanks again~!
I've never seen any sound bar key commands beyond ...
volume down, Alt+Shift+Down Arrow and I'd guess the up arrow to increase volume. I have a microsoft ergo keyboard with volume up and down keys ... so I usually keep my "volume" at max and just tone it down ... Personally, I'd love a key command to "jump forward" for my endlessly pausing dictators (and a "jump back" for when I overshoot their FINALLY figuring out what they want to say .... I'm watching your post in hope that someone knows something....
Using Instant Text Commands?
Could someone explain to me how to create a command/macro in Instant Text for changing a period to a comma and uncap the next letter in a sentence? Please do not high tech words because that just confuses me. Lol
If anyone knows of any other command/macros that can be used in Instant Text to help with improving line counts I would greatly appreciate hearing about them.
Yes, I do know about the the forum at textware and productivity talk but they are so high techy over there that I am lost.
Thanks a bunch
Instant Text commands
To take your example, you can copy the following entry into the Add window of your glossary (it is usually good to have a separate command glossary that you include wherever needed):
{command}{Shift Left}{Shift Left}{Shift Left}{Delete},{Space}{Shift Right}{Shift F3}_
The short form could be something easy to remember like periodtocomma (when you use marker keys to expand, you don't have to type the whole short form, you can type petco, percom, ...).
The commands are word-processor dependent. This should work for MSWord. To make it work your cursor needs to be right in front of the capitalized word, and with this entry I assume you have 2 spaces after the period. It is easy to adapt the entry if you only have 1 space after a period. Just delete one {Shift Left}
You can email me if you need further help.
Marianne
PS Below is a link to Cheryl's site. She has created and sells an extensive command glossary for MSWord.
Do you have a newer keyboard with commands embedded in certain ones? Don't think 5.1 had anything
s
She automated by inserting those MS Word commands
into a SH entry. Try Productivity Talk for lots of ways to do this.
Add the Ctrl + B commands at the beginning and end of entry.
You click the command button in the Add window. The manual has more instructions.
Macros are recordings of keystrokes and commands that are repetitive. sm
A lot of people are confused on what a macro actually is. They are used to insert templates/boiler plates into documents, but the recording of the commands in the sequence they are used is the actual "macro."
Click on the all commands option in the customize dialog box.
The rest of the options that aren't in the menus are listed there.
Contact your tech support. The ExText functions are different than MS or Word commands. Are you usin
