Overview

Instant Text gives you the power of abbreviations - without memorization!

Instant Text is the exciting new way for you to use abbreviations for faster, easier, and more accurate text entry. While abbreviation systems have been around for over thirty years, until now they forced you to develop and memorize glossaries with hundreds of abbreviation codes for your frequent words and phrases. Now with Instant Text this extra effort is unnecessary. No memorization required

With Instant Text you never have to remember an abbreviation, you simply enter what you think it is. Simply start by typing the first letter of the word, then add any other letter. Instantly your word and phrase options pop-up in the on-screen advisory window. Instant Text alleviates the need for memorization with one simple rule. You always start with the first letter, and can add any other letter in the order in which they appear in the word or phrase.

That's it! That's all you need to remember to speed through your typing with logical abbreviations.

Features:

Instant Text allows very fast text entry - You may have dreamed of producing documents as fast as you can think — Now, Instant Text brings you closer to that dream by letting you abbreviate almost everything you type. Simply use a few letters to instantly write complete words, phrases, and entire paragraphs!

Reuse your existing documents — Automatically! By reading and analyzing your existing documents, Instant Text will automatically create glossaries of your most frequently used words and phrases, which can then be typed over and over again using just simple abbreviations.

No memorization required - With Instant Text you never have to remember an abbreviation, you simply try what you think — Just type and see!

Actually continues writing for you! - Since Instant Text knows what you've typed in the past, it can actually predict what you're going to type next. It's true, Instant Text will suggest the most likely phrases to come after what you just typed in.

Built-In Glossaries - Instant Text V Pro comes with built-in glossaries totaling more than 150,000 entries for medical transcription, the legal profession, and general usage. Up to 25 glossaries can be active at the same time and even more can be achieved with the powerful Include Feature: You can have hundreds of thousand words and phrases immediately available at your fingertips in all applications.

Creates glossaries automatically - Your existing documents are a virtual gold mine! Instant Text actually reads through and analyzes the documents you already have in your computer, automatically capturing all the repetitive words and phrases. In just a few seconds Instant Text creates a glossary of your most common words and phrases allowing you to reuse them without having to completely retype them. It actually continues writing for you! Instant Text offers you the powerful continuation feature: The software automatically suggests your most common phrases which come after the words you just typed in. As a result of analyzing what you typed in the past, Instant Text can often predict what you'll need next as you're typing. Then simply tell instant text to continue writing it for you. No additional tying or abbreviations are necessary.

InstantText can import files from other expanders: PRD+, Flash Forward, QuickScript, Shorthand, Shortcut, Abbreviate, AutoCorrect, QuickCorrect, Dictaphone, DocQscript, Auto Text, Outlook Addresses, Text Files, SoftMed and more!!

How Instant Text works:

Instant Text Adjusts to Applications... Working with Instant Test is very simple: You start Instant Text and your application. Then you start typing in the application.

Instant Text automatically docks to the application — for example MS Word — and the advisories display possible expansions of what you type:

If you resize MS Word, Instant Text automatically resizes itself; if you move MS Word, this moves Instant Text also. And when you switch to another application with the mouse or using Alt+Tab, Instant Text automatically docks to the new application.

You can also specify application by application which glossary to use and the number of advisory lines.
Working with Instant Text is very easy. Here are a few preliminary steps when you start.

Easy steps to work with Instant Text

Start with glossary compilation - First you will allow Instant Text to compile glossaries for each of the different subjects for which you normally produce documents. You may already have folders that correspond to different subjects (for example, a folder for contracts, one for sales, one for medical reports, another for some hobby...). So compiling a glossary for each of these folders should be an easy step.

In other cases, you will want Instant Text to compile a glossary for a complete set of documents that have a common subject. These may be documents produced in-house or that you obtained from a data base, some electronic bulletin board, or some CD-Rom.

You may also start with some of the supplied glossaries but you are likely to outgrow them soon because glossaries that are customized to your practice will tend to be more effective.

You may also import abbreviation lists - Instant Text can import abbreviation lists you used with other systems such as PRD, AutoCorrect, QuickCorrect and many others. Importing these lists converts them to Instant Text glossaries.

So from day one you can reuse these carefully memorized abbreviations. Of course, you will soon use thousands of new abbreviations without memorizing them, and will take advantage of sentence continuations. Simultaneous use of old and new makes for a smooth transition.

Then select a glossary - Select a glossary that corresponds to the subject you are addressing. You can now start typing your document. As you type, the advisories will show you what abbreviations are available: this means that you never need to remember abbreviations. If you type an abbreviation, it will be immediately expanded.

If the subject of your document changes, you can switch instantaneously to another glossary. Using custom glossaries is the key to getting an unprecedented keystroke reduction with Instant Text.
