ExText. And I am able to use my Shorthand with it. nm

ShortHand is a separate program you buy. ESP is what comes within ExText. nm

Shorthand or ExText expander system? Which is

I've always used my own ShortHand when using ExText. Always compatible, and

They used ExText, Shorthand worked, employee, forget 10 cpl, and lots of

Sounds like you are talking about ExText - I love it. I use my shorthand AND the built-in ESP.

How did you get shorthand to work with it?
Deb H said they did not think it would.
Shorthand might work.
Since it works under Windows, not under any particular app, and so far, I have not had it NOT work--even when I didn't want it to, such as in chat, e-mail, and instant messaging, if I forget to turn it off....
You can download a free 30-day trial. Just Google ShortHand for Windows. I don't have the URL handy. If it doesn't work for you... you don't have to pay for it at the end of the trial.
Will Shorthand 9.02 work with Editscript?sm
I read where ShortHand 8 will, but not sure about 9.2. Instant Text sure doesn't. 
Work for them, they use Shorthand and platform sm
is Acuity at least on my particular account.
How do you put this in AutoCorrect? Wouldn't shorthand work the same way?
nm
Shorthand and Instant Text will work
Don't know about any other programs though.
Does the Shorthand program work well? I don'the know
anything about it but I just started a new job with Meditech and there is no associated program for AutoCorrect or macros. They suggested we d/l the ShortHand program which I did d/l the free 30 day trial. I haven't used it yet but I really miss macros and shortcuts...Will it be worth the $99.99 purchase price when my 30 days expires? Thanks.
Instant Text and Shorthand both work with it. nm

Yes, Shorthand. They have an address datatbase that is in Shorthand, so that's what they sm
prefer you use. nm
Keystrokers - do you work in Word - Can you use ShortHand - How many lines for fulltime? Thanks

Does ShortHand or SmarType work with the company DiskWriter's system?
:)
I work on ExText and like it.
I really like ExText. They have made it pretty easy to use. I feel their cpl rate is about average. There are certainly worse paying companies out there.
I work on EXText - nm

I work on Extext and get my own counts.
Feel free to e-mail me.
I work in ExText and love it
My main account is mostly templates, and it is an extremely easy ER account with about 8 doctors. I easily do between 400-500 lines per hour on that account. My secondary account is on Chartscript, and I do about 300-350 lines per hour on that account. I love them both.
Anyone still have dial up and work on Extext? sm
How does this work for you? I am afraid I will have to be on dial up for a while after I move and just wondering if anyone has any problems with it. A friend of mine has been on dial up with Extext for years and i have heard that Extext and DocQScribe works ok with Dial up. TIA.
Does ExText work with satellite? E-mail me please nm

I work for TT, low line counts on ExText for me. nm

Extext companies with plenty of work
I need to know what Extext companies have plenty of work right now and I can go work immediately and be able to download work. I'm tired of having no work and no money. 
Any Extext companies with LOTS of work NOW?
.
TransTech also uses ExText, but think they were running out of work, too. Any comments? nm

ETrans is looking for PT people on Extext for clinic work sm
I spoke to the recruiter on Friday, 10/24. I don't do clinic and I prefer to work in Extext, but they don't have OPs and cardiac stuff, which is all I do. I THINK she said she had rheumatology, psych and ortho on Extext, all clinic stuff. It is EtransPlus. You can look on Job seeker's or email me for her email address.
9cpl and 11 cpl for weekends. Use ExText. My ExText version wasn't compatible with theirs

How are the MW accts that use the ExText? Good sound? Lots of work? Acute care or clinic? Thx. nm

Shorthand
Hi, I asked this question on the equipment board, but I haven't received any messages from anyone there, so I hope you don't mind my posting it here:
I've just started using the Shorthand expander and I love it, but I'm hoping someone will be able to tell me how to get it to capitalize the first letter of new sentences in a word document platform. It expands better than any program I've ever used, but it doesn't cap the first letter in the sentence and it would be So helpful if it did.
If anyone can share how to do that with me, I'd really appreciate it!! Or,if it can't be done please let me know that also:) Thanks in advance!!
Shorthand
I understand how to make a word capitalized if it's one of the entries in shorthand, but I'm talking about having the first word in any sentence come out capped even if it's not something I'm expanding. I do appreciate your answers, I really do, but they still don't address what I'm trying to do. I want to be able to type along and have the first letter of any given sentence be capped without doing it manually...like you normally can do when just typing along in Word and using autocorrect....except that I don't use autocorrect any longer and now use just ShortHand..and thought there must be a way to set it up to use that command of capping the first word in new sentences. That's what I need to know about:)
For the replies about how to set this up in autocorrect, I thank you, but if you notice I'm Not using autocorrect as when I copy and paste part of a report into my Word document, the copying and pasting procedure completely turns off autocorrect...but it doesn't bother ShortHand and I can still use my expanders in ShortHand..whereas nothing will expand from autocorrect if the text has been pasted in the document.
shorthand
Can you type in emdat using shorthand? I had always heard Expanders did not work with the program and would mess it up.
Yes, I use Shorthand. I still was using PRD+ and was able sm
to convert it, so I was very happy. It is amazing how many entries you end up with.
I still think that PRD+ is better but I am used to ShortHand now.
Shorthand & TA
Although you can't use ShortHand with TA. Fast Chart can import your word list into TAspeed for you to use so you don't have to recreat your list.
Shorthand
If you are trying to get an Expander that works in windows in general (email, ftp, any program)--then I use shorthand. I use it a lot when typing emails or anything really..good luck.
Or what about Shorthand? nm
nm
shorthand
I use MS Word the auto correct and Expanders and that seems to work fine. What would be different if I went to Instant Text or Flash Type of one of those? And what is a good one to use?
Shorthand?
nm
Yes. I'm at TT and use Shorthand.

Can you use shorthand
with IChart? Thanks!
PC Shorthand
work very well with MediTech
with shorthand, you don't have to --sm
*fiddle with it*, it just works on it's own. I hated IT. Still have it in the box with an inch of dust on it. What a waste of a huge amount of money! with shorthand, you just start typing and any words entered into its dictionary by yu just expand on their own. Wish I had the money back I had spent on InstanText..180.00 as opposed to 29.99 ...um, gee, I don't know which to choose! *fiddling with it* to get it to work as opposed to just typing...hmmm.
Shorthand
I use ShortHand and love it.
I also use PC Shorthand...
...and really like it. It is easy to learn and easy to use. As one of the other posters said, you can get a 30-day free trial. Nothing to lose.
Why don't you just use Shorthand to...
ctrl+N/header/enter.
If you don't want to do that you can still use SH to expand into the header field. You don't have to manually type it out or pick from the list.
For numbered lists it's 1 keystroke - ctrl+L.
Very easy.
Will we be able to use our ShortHand with the new WMX VR? nm

May I ask the name of the shorthand shortcut software you use?
Shorthand/Smartype
Hi: Only Shorthand is and they recommend it.
It comes with Shorthand or use autocorrect.
I like the system

Does ShortHand work with the DocQScribe platform? Thanks
