I just do them as they come in.  I must have 20 different ways to download audio files on my computer, but I don't know how to convert audio files from one program to another

Heck, I have to ask my 11-year-old to get the DVD player to work.

Getting ooooold I guess.  I'm like my parents who used to put a piece of black electrical tape over the flashing clock on the VCR because they didn't know how to reset it until the 7-year-old granddaughter came over and fixed it for them.

Can anyone help me with this?  I am using eScription as well as Inscribe software and it does not appear to be compatible with Instant Text (if it is, please help!) so I was hoping to be able to convert my IT glossary over to autocorrect if at all possible.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

Is there a way to convert an Instant Text glossary to work with Smartype? 

Thanks

I would just turn off ESP as suggested below and use your Shorthand.  I didn't do that because the hospital I work for provided my equipment and were told in no uncertain terms we could not load any software on our PCs without it being approved by the IT department and since EXText comes with its own abbreviation expander, there was not reason to approve mine.  I had to input each and every Expander from scratch!  It sucked, but in the long run it was a good thing.  My ShortHand file was geared more towards radiology because that's basically all I did on my last job.  So a lot of it would not have been helpful for the medical records stuff I'm doing now. 

Like you care why I don't use my Shorthand still!  Sorry to go on and on.  I get so bored by myself here at home, I can't help myself from virtually gabbing every chance I get.

I have one client who doesn't want bulk and is Franklin condensed 10; another is on Garamond 12 with a 1 inch margin R and L. I take a large block of type, put in a format that gives me 65 char per line and do a line count that way and get a price for the whole block, for example, 58 gross lines at 12 cpl = $6.96. Then I take the same type and format it as the client wishes, get a line count and divide the dollar amount by the lines. If their formatted version came to 28 lines, then 6.96 divided by 28, would come to 24 cpl for their format. I always include a line on the invoice to indicate their 65 char line rate. Something like

2586 extended lines at 0.24 cpl = $620.64

(your line rate converts to 0.12 cpl for standard 65 char line)

I always educate the client as to the industry standard of the 65 char line which allows clients to compare apples to apples...

It does state this on their web site.  I was curious if anyone has used this option, and if so, does it really work? 

Thanks again~
