Non-roman scripts and Transcriber

[Matthew Toulmin]

Dear list,

I use Keyman keyboards and Windows XP to enter data using phonetic and Indic scripts into Word, Toolbox (Unicode-compliant Shoebox), etc..

However I cannot work out how to make these same input methods work in Transcriber. I change the font, set it to UTF-8, turn on the language in XP, which triggers the Keyboard, but Transcriber still only writes Roman. I'm getting a bit sick of this clumsy way of transcribing my data (Roman only) and figure that I must be missing something.

It seems from archived Transcriber-related posts on this and the Transc-list that other people are using phonetic and even Arabic scripts in Transcriber, so what am I doing wrong? (I am using the latest Transcriber version). 

Can someone please enlighten me?

Thanks.
