Important flextext from saymore

[Ray Willett]

I have been trying to import .flextext files from saymore and it keeps giving me an error. I think it may be related to the transcription/free translation writing systems on saymore, I am using a custom keyboard I made for Cherokee but I don't see a way to set that up in saymore. Can anyone help me with what sort of settings I need to make sure my keyboards match between flex and saymore?

Ray,

It is actually the writing systems that need to match.  When you click on Export Flextext in Saymore you should get this:

make sure to choose the transcription writing system that is the same as the writing system in FLEx.  If you do not see the above writing system popup then try updating to a new version of SayMore.

I am having a similar error, FLEX won't recognize the flextext file I export from saymore. I tried changing the writing system in FLEX to match what I have in Saymore, but now that just makes SayMore crash whenever I try to export as a flextext.

[Jonathan Dailey]

Which version of FLEx and SayMore are you using?  When I tested this earlier it seemed that the most recent SayMore Flextexts only worked in FLEx 8.12

SayMore: 3.2, FLEX 8.3, I'll try 8.12 and see if that helps.

[Alexander Rice]

No dice, or at least I think. Here in previous releases I don't see an 8.12, there's a 8.0.10 and 8.1.4, I chose 8.1.4 and was still unsuccessful. 

[Beth-docs Bryson]

What about 8.3.12?  That is the latest stable version, and if it is an issue of SayMore being too new, then the newest version of FLEx might be what is needed.

I meant 8.3.12 Skipped a number. importing a text has to have the exact same writing systems as the FLEx fields you are bringing it into. I keep finding this to be the main hangup.

May it's the writing system configuration I don't understand then.

Here are some screen shots:

SayMore:

Flex:

These match right? Or no?

[Alexander Rice]

Okay, I got it to work, there are multiple versions of this language listed in FLEX and tried multiple times, but Say More would crash no matter what. I reinstalled SayMore and now I can export succesfully, and FLEX still wouldn't reognize it until I tried different versions, nevertheless I found the correct one and was able succesfully import the .flextext.

Thank you all for your help.
