1. Introduction
---------------
Welcome to Transcript 2.2, a program designed to help you to
transcribe the text on digital images of documents.
Transcript is free for private non commercial use.

Transcript came into being because of my dissatisfaction with
using a seperate editor and picture viewer when transcribing
digital images of old documents. I always had to switch between
the editor and my image viewer when I needed to move the image
so the next part would be visible.
I thought that it should be easier when this could be done from
within one program. I couldn't find a program that did this though,
so I decided that I would try to write such a program myself, and
here is the result.

The basic idea is very simple. Divide the screen in two parts. In
the upper half the image is shown and in the lower half you can
edit the text. (As this is not an OCR program, the program does
not convert the text. You have to do the transcription yourself.)
The size of  those windows can be changed as you wish.

From within the editor you can move the visible part of the image
in many ways using shortcuts. You can also use keys to move to the
previous or next image in the same directory. Besides that it is
of course possible to use most of the common editor functions also
found in other editors.

Transcipt has furthermore many options and additional functions
which are designed to help make it easier for the user to transcribe
an image.
By default the program remembers the exact position in the text and
image where you were last time and goes back to that position when
you start the program.

For detaled information and help about the program, the program
history and credits see the help file Help.chm (use F1 when the
program has been started).

describing your problems. You should also mention your Windows
version and other running programs that may have a relation to
the problem.
The more detailed you are, the better the chance I can help.

Distribution
The author is the only one who is allowed to distribute this
program. Links to my site are very welcome but you may not link
directly to the program downloads without my prior written consent.
Paysites and sites needing registration though are not allowed to
put a link to my Transcript page. Every site linking to me must
allow a direct link to the page where that link can be seen.
If you really want to use a direct download link or want to put
my program for download on your site you need to ask for and
receive my consent.
Distribution on cd, dvd or whatever other medium will in principle
only be allowed (for which you always need my consent beforehand)
if it is done at or below costprice.
Exception: making a copy for someone without internet access is
allowed when done at no costs.


3. System requirements
----------------------
Windows 95 or higher and preferrably RichEd20.dll version 5.30 or
higher, though older versions (should) work without problems except
that some RichEdit capabilities will not be visible (like justify,
tab leaders, any tabs which are not left aligned and probably more).
For pdf files you'll also need to install GhostScript. See the
helpfile for details.

4. Installation and uninstallation
----------------------------------
A. Installing using the installer version

If the installer finds another version of Transcript it will
prompt you to uninstall it. Optionally the installer will put a
shortcut to the program on your desktop and in a program group
under the start button in the program files menu.

B. Zip version

Unzip the downloaded file to a directory of your choice. Preferrably
an empty directory under "Program Files", e.g.:
<"Windows version and user specific part">\Program Files\Transcript\

Do NOT put the file in one directory with other files or programs to
prevent the possibility of problems (even though that is not likely).
If you want you can make a shortcut to Transcript.exe on your
Desktop and/or the Programs menu.

To begin: start the program Transcript.exe or use the shortcut.

This program does not save anything in the Windows registry. All
preferences are stored in a configuration file called Transcript.ini.


C. Installation of a newer version of Transcript

When using the zip-version newer versions can be copied over older
versions without any problems. When you are using the installer it
will automatically prompt you allow it to uninstall the old version.


D. Uninstall

If you used the installer to install the program you should run
the uninstall program. This can be done in two ways. Either go to
control panel - software and click Transcript, or go to Start
menu - program files - Transcript - Uninstall Transcript. The
program will automatically be removed.
The configuration file Transcript.ini however will not be deleted
so you old settings will be available when you install a newer
version. If you don't plan on using Transcript again you'll have
to delete that file manually.

If you used the zip version you can delete all files in the directory
where you installed Transcript and the directory itself, provided you
didn't put any other files there that are not related to Transcript.

If you have used Transcript on cd there may also exist a version of
Transcript.ini in your Windows directory that can be removed.

When uninstalling either with the uninstaller or by hand it should
be evident that you should first close the program Transcript.
