Writing your first event
Now
that you've completed setting up your account, there are a few steps to
complete to be able to stream your first event. The list below is a
step by step guide to get you connected and streaming your first event.
Step #1: Download and install Connector Application
StreamText offers a free connector application that allows you to connect and write to the service. The connector allows you to write directly to the application or to write through a COM port. Details for the connector application can be found at
http://support.streamtext.net/KB/c5/connector.aspx
Step #2: Log-in to StreamText and schedule event
Go to www.streamtext.net
and click the "Sign-In" link on the left menu. Enter the email address
and password that you used when you created the account.
After
sign-in is complete, click on the "Schedule Event" link that should now
be available on left menu.
If
you are writing directly to the StreamText.Net Connector application
and not using any COM ports, then select "Standard Text" as your
parsing format.
If you are using the COM port option in the StreamText.Net Connector application, make sure to select a "Parsing Format"
that will line-up with the output from your writing software. For example, if you
select "Case-View" as your parsing format, you'll want to make sure you select "Case-View" as
your output format in your writing software during the next step.
Complete the form for scheduling
the event and click "Update Scheduled Event".
Step #3: Starting real-time and connecting to event
If you are writing directly to the StreamText.Net Connector application follow these steps.
- Click the "Connect and Write" button in the StreamText.Net Connector application
- Start up your writing software
- Place your cursor in the StreamText.Net Connector application and begin writing

That's it. After
completing those 3 steps you should be streaming text real-time over
the internet. When you set-up future events, you'll only need to
perform steps #2 and #3.
