Rise copy/paste text errors
Feb 22, 2021
Hi,
Each time I copy text from a Word document, invariably typos appear after I paste these into the 'transcript' tool for Rise.
This is quite annoying as I have already spent time editing the transcript in another program, to only have Rise delete spaces between words thus causing 'typos' to appear. Rise also doesn't highlight and/or 'catch' these errors.
Why is this happening? What can be done to prevent this?
Thanks
Dustin

Hi Dustin,
I've never heard of spaces being deleted as you describe.
BTW, spell- and error checking of text is not done by Rise, it's done by whatever browser you are using.
I use Chrome in Windows, so not sure how these steps will translate to a Mac environment (if at all):
Copy text from you source.
In Rise, right-click and choose to "paste as plain text".
I have seen spaces removed, not sure if it is because content originally came from a PDF.
