QEDIT seems to be an editor quite popular with speech users and others
who use computers. How does it work with speech, and what is the
latest version? Where may I obtain a copy?
Thanks in advance.
Linda

Linda,
I believe that Qedit is a very popular text editor for several
reasons, some of these being it is small, highly configurable, can use
the basic Word Star commands that many programmers and others are
familiar with, and which most text editors seem to use, and the support
is excellent! It can be easily installed as the text editor for Silver
Xpress, and it has a menu system in addition to the hot key commands.
The most recent version I have here is QEDIT210.ZIP, but I have
heard that a more recent update is due for release. I honestly seldom
use Word Perfect or any other profound word processor anymore, as Qedit
does about 99% of any text writing I need to due quite adequately, and
for sure, if you do any sort of batch file writing or modifying,
something you should be very familiar with if you run a point, it is the
only way to go!
So far as how friendly it is with speech, this depends on what
speech program you are using, the particular setup of your computer,
such as the type of graphics card, and your own knowledge of both Qedit
and your speech program. In general, however, it writes direct to the
screen, the prompts are, on my system, usually read by either the
current cursor line key or the previous line hot key, and seriously, in
little time at all, I think it can be learned to the degree where the
need to read the prompts is very rare.
Try it Linda, you'll like it!

Qedit is a shareware editor. It uses many of the same commands as
Wordstar. It seems to work well with speech, especially if you
know wordstar.
I use it for a lot of things where I need to have the file in
ascii. If you want to find a copy, a bbs in your area should have
it. The version I have is 2.08, look for that one or a later one
if it's available.
Later..

It can be fixed. Got a few thousand?
