transcription-keyboard-maestro/README.md

These are Keyboard Maestro macros for making transcription with Express Scribe and MS Word much more productive.
A cross-platform web version is being built here; want to help? :-). There would also be value in porting it to Autohotkey, Autokey and similar .

#Installation

Download the .kmmacros file and file>import macros in Keyboard Maestro.

#Prerequisites

• MS Word for Mac
• Express Scribe

#Setup

##Express Scribe

• set the keyboard shortcut for "copy time" to ⌘⇧⌥/
• set the time display format to h:mm:ss.t

##Mac Keyboard Shortcuts

These are a few shortcuts in Mac OS (Yosemite) that conflict with our shortcuts; please uncheck them in System Preferences>Keyboard>Shortcuts. There may be other conflicts, but if you "restore defaults" before unchecking these, you'll be all set:

• "Turn dock hiding on/off"
• "search with Google"
• "make new sticky note"

##MS Word

There are some conflicts here, but Keyboard Maestro seems to always "win" the conflict. However, you'll lose some Word shortcuts that you usually rely upon. In tools>customize keyboard, create these new shortcuts:

• ^a for editSelectAll
• ^b for bold
• ⌘⌥f for editFindDialog (and remove it from insertFootNoteNow)
• ^f for editFind
• ^d for formatFont

#Usage

This is a complex set of macros, enough that they basically comprise their own cobbled together application.
