Adding a new glossary entry is still as
fast as before: 2 keystrokes. Once you have
highligted the entry you want to add, you just press:
New menus in the Add window allow you to easily clear the Add window, add formatted templates as created in your word-processor, insert powerful commands, a date and time stamp. Glossaries with these kinds of entries will help you increase you productivity in transcription, researching, and editing.
Now you can add a display form if you feel the need for it. The display form can be very useful when you want to add a comment for your medical term, a common dosage for medication, or a short description of what your command entry is meant to do.
You will see the definitions or descriptions displayed in the advisories:
hpk
will expand to hyperkalemia, hpc
to hypercalcemia while the definitions are just a reminder.
An extensive Command
menu will let you insert not only {Ctrl B} or {Backspace} or field
commands such as {Ctrl F9}{End} but also a whole variety of commands
for tasks you may want to speed up:
record a sequence of commands while in your word-processor
quickly add a new glossary to your active glossary list
restore your client application window
capitalize a word
expand an entry with Stop commands for fill-ins
launch a file or program
browse a folder to quickly find a document
browse a webpage to look up a medical term or drugs and dosages
With these command entries you will be able, for instance, to activate a glossary and launch a program or a website without taking your fingers off the keyboard.
You can now insert a Stop command in a paragraph with fill-ins:
You
type wbi
and the entry will
expand to was
born in
You
fill in the year of birth dictated and resume the rest of the
expansion with a Resume command for which you can create your own short
(rrr
for example).
rrr will trigger the next sequence of text
that
follows the Stop command of the current entry and upon expanding it,
another
Stop sets in so you can fill in the next appropriate dictation.
You can resume or not resume the rest of a Stop and Resume entry depending on the dictation.
You
can chain keyboard
shortcut commands in macro-like fashion while you are in your client
application. While linked to MSWord you can click on Command/Record in
client
and type the keyboard commands you want the Instant Text Glossary entry
to
execute upon expansion.
This
entry will delete
the three words to the right when you type delx
or delw
and
the display Delete
next 3 Words
will show in the
advisory explicitly what this command is going to do.
These
chains of commands
come in handy, particularly when you have to edit speech recognition
drafts.
