Change Profile
Profiles are useful for networks environments where multiple users are sharing a transcription station. Storing a profile for each user on a network server saves setup time when computers are replaced or when hardware issues occur. In addition profiles allow each user to establish and maintain settings requirements and preferences. When multiple users share a transcription station, each user may have a different profile. Quikscribe Manager is useful for managing profiles.
To select profile:
1. Select File. Select Change Profile.
2. Click the drop-down arrow in the box on the left under Select Profile and Action and select the desired user profile.
3. Click the drop-down arrow in the box on the right under Select Profile and Action and select the action Load Profile. Click OK to load the profile.
If you work in an environment where multiple users are sharing a transcription station you may elect to have the above panel open when Quikscribe Player is opened. You may load your profile at startup with that feature. To enable selection of profile at startup check Prompt for profile on startup in the Typist Details panel under the Quikscribe Settings icon.
1. Select File. Select Change Profile.
2. Type the name for the new profile over the existing entry in the box on the left under Select Profile and Action. This will enable the Add Profile button. Click the Add Profile button and the new profile will be added.
3. Change the settings you prefer in the Quikscribe Player.
4. Your previous profile will be maintained, so you may now choose between the new and the previous profile.
You may also delete profiles through the change profile feature. However, if the default profile file, which is named player.plr, is accidentally deleted, the Quikscribe Player will automatically make a new one using the default settings.
A Quikscribe Player profile is a text file that records your settings preferences and has the extension .plr. The profiles are stored in the … c:/Documents and Settings/
/Application Data/Quikscribe/Quikscribe Player folder and can be manually edited with a text editor such as Notepad (where
represents the user’s login id for Windows). For larger installations, working with the profile files may ease the installation process. Please contact www.digidictate.com for more information.
