I had found that Express Scribe (ES) can only accept latin script in the text window of the Linux version. So I installed the windows version of ES in my Vista computer, and tested it with Baraha unicode. Tried typing in Hindi. No go. One cannot type with non-Latin script. A transcription program should be designed for usability in various languages. What would it take to make ES international in design? I am guessing that any computer engineer at NCH would be able to get this working with minimal effort. International script adaptability has become standard in most all text editors and word processors today. Any tips on how to get it working in ES?
