These are [Keyboard Maestro](http://www.keyboardmaestro.com/main/) macros for making transcription with Express Scribe and MS Word much more productive.
|
|
A cross-platform web version is being built [here](https://github.com/zevav/js-text-app); 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.
