Does anyone know if ChartScript is compatible with Windows Vista?

I just ordered a new HP laptop with Windows Vista, and I was wondering if anyone knows if the ChartScript.net platform will run on Vista without any problems. I want to be able to take my laptop with me when I travel so that I can work on the road.

new computer -Windows Vista sm
Will I have trouble finding a company that can use this?? TIA
Ever been fired from Keystrokes because of Windows Vista?
I just spent $1000 on all new equipment including a new computer with Windows Vista which is what they recommended as their program is compatible with Vista. When the computer tech had to spend hours on my computer getting it to work with Vista, a certain administrator let me go because it wouldn't work for their account. I am in tears. I've never been fired from a job, especially for something that I was asked to do to work for them.
Question for Escriptionist. I need a new computer. All the new ones have Windows Vista. Is this
compatible with the EditScript platform. Seems I have read that some platforms are not compatible with the new Windows Vista, yet that is all I am finding when computer shopping.
VISTA IS COMPATIBLE
I dont know who told you VISTA was not compatible but it most certainly is! I bought a new laptop with Vista and have been working without any problems whatsoever. If you're having a problem downloading it, it's because you must first sign in as, run as administrator...then it will download for you...
Vista is not compatible with many programs out there yet. (sm)
From what I hear, Vista and MOST transcription platforms are not compatible.

Bayscribe platform is compatible with Vista.
You just need to find a company that uses Bayscribe. There may be other platforms but I don't know of any.
Keystrokes' ads all say WindowsXP or 2000. Vista is not compatible sm
with most platforms, which is not the fault of the company.
You were not fired; the offer letter states that employment is pending IS approval of your computer. Vista is NOT compatible with most MT platforms at this time. No one would have told you to purchase that. We do just the opposite and tell everyone NOT to purchase VISTA as it is does not work with our hospitals.
Not true anymore. More platforms are Vista compatible. sm
I work for Keystrokes and bought a new computer about 3 months ago. I asked if Vista worked and I was told that it is about 50/50 right now and more are compatible all the time. This is everywhere, not just Keystrokes.
LOL, they still aren't compatible with Vista or Word 2007...

Supposedly new upgrade for WordClient is compatible with Vista, per our mgmt.
We are about to do an upgrade, and they say it will be compatible with Vista with this new upgrade of WordClient. Yipeeee
I wanted to use my own computer and get rid of the RENT on TT computer, but Vista is not compatible.
Good way to make them money. Not have to upgrade software so that Vista is compatible with Vista. Huh?
A few are compatible, but not all. More are becoming compatible though which is nice. sm
We are the mercy of the hospitals except those that are on DQS now.

What companies use ChartScript and ChartScript.net?
3M = SoftMed = ChartScript = ChartScript.Net
SoftMed was purchased by 3M in 2007. Both products ChartScript and ChartScript.Net are still available. Both have internal text Expanders that work well
windows
 Does anyone know what is better Vista windows or XP windows. I need to know because I am getting a computer.
They also have windows to work in.
They also offer 12-hour windows for an 8-hour shift or 10-hour windows for a 7-hour shift. That's pretty flexible in my book!
I use ShortCut for Windows also...
I found it simpler to use than ShortHand (I also had downloaded the free trial and decided not to buy). BUT with ShortCut I have problems having it expand words. I called tech support and he said to turn off AutoCorrect in any programs I have running (I had to re-do my Expanders from AutoCorrect to ShortCut but I'm sure if I had wanted to spend the time I could have copied them from AC to SC). Tech also said to open ShortCut BEFORE any other programs.
Anyways, sometimes ShortCut will not expand a word. I then have to use backspace up to the last letter of the previous word, then space, then type the short form. It will expand if I do this. That is extra Keystrokes that should be unnecessary.
Bottom line, for me is.....I use ShortCut because it is simple to use and I did not have time to learn a new Expander program.
Maybe ANON has fixed this on his/her program. Would like to know.
They do have 12-hour windows, but
it all depends on the account you work on. the only shift they have open right now is 2nd.
They also recommend ShortCut for Windows. nm

Windows XP - do you have to do the Microscoft upgrade? (sm)
I've heard it's flawed and am afraid to do the time change upgrade. Will it show that all the reports I do are an hour ahead? I work on Ex-Text.
Short Cut for Windows and Webmedx
Does anyone know if Short Cut for Windows is compatible with Webmedx's Enterprise program? Hoping to take it with me when I leave the Q............
Definately shorthand for windows---sm
This is hands down the best Expander I have ever used. If it works with the platform I work on (dinosaur) it will work on anything, or with anything. here is a direct link to website to download:
http://www65.pair.com/lim/shorthand/sh10dnload.html
you can have a 30 day free trial. If you wish to purchase after 30 days, you have several options for payment. I chose 29.99 a year with free upgrades. I don't know of any other expander software out there that could beat that in performance or price, and I have tried quite a few...InstanText, Smarttype, etc. I am extremely happy with ShortHand and cannot say enough about it. It works just like autotext and is so easy. give it a shot!

Need tips for converting PRD for DOS to Shortcuts for Windows, please. sm
How can I best start "cleaning up" a copy of my beloved PRD for DOS to make for a less-hassle conversion to Shortcut for Windows? Many of the headers in my PRD have special DOS characters for bolding, and I don't think they will be useable. For many of my glossary entries, I use slash marks (i.e., cad/ for coronary artery disease). Are the slash marks a problem in Shortcut? If so, what's a good character to substitute (a "q" maybe??). Thanks for any suggestions. I'm trying to make this conversion in a month just a tiny bit sane.

You must be psychic. I just ended up going on Ebay today and bought a Dell with Windows XP on it.
I originally went through Dell directly but they charged $400 more for the same computer because they were customizing it with Windows XP as now all the computer came standard with Vista. Apparently not so customized..haha.. better deals on Ebay.. I LOVE EBAY..
I don't know why it's not compatible
Are you talking about your MS Word autotext?
As far as I know, nothing is compatible with Medrite, sm
especially if you are working in DOS. I worked on it for over a year and never did get the hang of remembering my own word expansions. I used IT too long and could not get used to anything else.
Anybody know of any companies that are compatible with the
Would love to be working on my own computer which has Vista on it.

MT equipment is often not compatible with VoIP too.
For example:
If you need your (*) key to sign off on a job, it may not work because some phone plans/phone cards will use that key to disconnect you so you can dial another number to avoid having to dial in again and enter your whole ID# and PIN# all over again.
Same goes for the (#) key; some may use this key for that function, which might be a key you need to get the header info. for each job or to repeat the header info.
It's very difficult for an MT to find a LD plan, and unfortunately, some MT companies out there don't realize this or simply don't care.

Is the platform compatible with an expansion
I don't mean using the features in MS-Word (Auto-Text, etc.), but something like Smartype or Shorthand? When I interviewed with them a couple of years ago, I was very impressed with them, but I can't fly without an Expander and there were issues with Lotus not counting expanded text with every expander I asked to use with it. It was only for that reason that I did not accept a position with them.
