Using the Local TCP writing source with Eclipse
Using the Local TCP writing source with Eclipse
The local TCP connection option allows you to communicate with the StreamText.Net connector using a TCP instead of redirecting your output to a virtual com port. This is easier to manage than a com port connection and requires less processing overhead than virtual comports.
Please follow the instructions below. For Eclipse users you will just need to go to your realtime output settings and select TCP/IP instead of a com port. Next you just need to update your settings. The IP address is 127.0.0.1 and the Port is 4000.
How to use:
- Start the StreamText.Net Connector
- If it prompts you to update make sure you click yes
- Select Local TCP under writing source
- Verify your connection settings
- Click on Connect and Write
- To verify that you are connected to StreamText the Connected to should be a green True.
- If not True you need to check your loggin and password. You can verify that they are correct by login in to www.streamtext.net
- If that is not the case make sure your firewall is letting the streamtext connector access the Internet
- If that does not work please check your Internet connection
- Notice that the Local TCP Connected will still be False until you start your realtime transcription software
- Start your realtime transcription software
- Set your output to TCP - If you have that option not all writing software does
- The IP address is 127.0.0.1 and the port is 4000. You will set these usually after you select the TCP realtime output option in your application
- Start your realtime file
- If correct the Local TCP Connected will now be True
