Quickscribe Online Enhancements: Searching Refinements Completed! Quickscribe is pleased to report that we have made some significant refinements to your “Cross Document” and “Search this Document” features. Using Boolean rules, highlighted search results will now be displayed exactly as you specify in your search criteria. For example, if a client types in the search phrase “community planning”, the document search results will only highlight sections referring to “community planning” while excluding any other single reference to “community” or “planning” on their own. This refinement will help users find exactly what they are looking for more quickly and efficiently. Remember to enclose the phrase in “quotation marks” to search for terms that are more than one word in length. |
Customer Incentive Reward Program: Quickscribe is pleased to announce a new customer incentive reward program.
This new program was developed in response to the increasing number of individuals who recommend our
service to others. Because Quickscribe Online’s early success can be largely attributed to “word of mouth”, we
have decided to reward these individuals by discounting the cost of their own subscription. | |
