changing docQscribe word expander to auto-correct
I have been hired at a company that uses Word auto-correct. I have thousands of expansions in DocQScribe aco.user file. I have found the file in my computer and brought it up on notepad. Anybody able to have this imported to auto-correct? I called the company support and they said it is doubful. This may be a deal killer as it would take hundreds of hours to start from scratch. Thanks for your time.
Horrible spell check, had to C&P onto word doc. to use spell checker. Slow, used ADT which did not

DocQScribe expansions
I know there is a file you can save and copy, as they did it for me with the company I work for. I'll find out for you on Monday and let you know.
question about expansions in DocQscribe
Does anyone know how to copy DocQScribe expansions from DocQscribe onto the same (DocQscribe) expansions on a different account. Another words, I work for 2 companies as an IC and they both have DocScribe. One account I have been on for some time and have acquired a lot of expansions, and would just like to copy them over to my somewhat newer account so that I don't have to re-add them all in. ');>
Copying expansions from DocQscribe to ExText?
Does anyone know of any way to do this??? I would hate to start from scratch on ExText.
Auto correct
Is there a way to keep the first letter becoming a capital when using an Expander after an abbreviation with a period?
Example: 1 tablet p.o. (and then when type bidx, expands to Twice a day, with a capital T because of period after the o.). It seems I spend quite a bit of time fixing this type of thing.
Thanks for you help!
They use a built-in expander like Auto Correct
nm
Put them in auto-correct - copy and paste. Quick and easy! nm

Can't spell today--yes they use DocQscribe, very easy to use nm

ExText is integrated with Word. Auto correct is a part of Word.
ExText is a Word based platform. When the page opens for you to type the document it will be just like you are typing in MS Word.
DocQscribe is the correct spelling
DocQscribe.
No, that's what spell check is for. nm

I don’t have to spell check here
and I was showing what I find, did you not read my posting about what I found in the neurologist's office, a sign spelled sureries.. I am not perfect, did not say that. You should edit yourself.
spell check is not, that is why I said you have to know how to look things up.
Knowing how to spell or thinking you know how to spell a word is not enough.
Good grief. Read everything.
Can you comprehend
please spell check before you post
advice is with a C.. NOT an S
I think spell check, proofing and the sm
other things you mentioned are a given for the job. When I say proofread, I mean type a report, then go back and proof, not proof as you go. I am sure we all do that.
Everyone, regardless of what they are paid, should spell check, know their accounts, know grammar and punctuation usage, etc.
I am sure many would lose money if paid hourly, sounds like you are doing well, good for you! If I had the attention span I am sure I could make what you make. I should make that my goal this year. However, how many times on these boards have you read that I am only making $3 an hour. I have read that more than I have read that people are making what you make.
What about your benefits? Do you have retirement with matching contribution from your company? Do you have health insurance, dental, vision, etc, paid for by your company (or at least sharing the cost). Do you have paid days off? Please, I would really like to know. If I am making $30k a year with the above benefits, essentially I am almost making what you make with my benefits, wouldn't you think? I would have to run some numbers, but I think we would come very close in salary.
Also, depending on where you live, $30k can be good money. If you live in Hawaii, which is the most expensive state to live, $30k might not get you far, however, if you live in Missouri, $30k might be great money. Let's face it, $50k is not that great if you live in downtown Manhattan.
So, we throw in something else to think about, cost of living. Since an MTSO generally hires nationwide, is the cost of living of your employee a factor in what you pay?
I would think that the way an MTSO pays is generally driven by being competitive with the next company (our prices are lower)not necessarily based on cost of living or taking into consideration the education and experience of the people they are going to hire.
I agree, it's not the greatest, and I'm only saying that because of the spell check -sm
You don't have to do a lot of nonsense just to get started like you do if you're working with Lanier or Dictaphone. The only thing you have to take note of is your job#. And that you don't even have to if you don't want to, but it's recommended and I do it.
I personally count the lines myself and have found them to be 100% accurate. Of course these programs can vary, but the one I'm using is a good one and they're exact or, if anything, a little higher. I know I'm not getting cheated.
Hope that helps.
I am sorry. I was going to thank you for paying attention and doing a spell check.
Thanks 
Precysers, if you have loaded a good spell-check,
Just click on my hidden e-mail address if you want to correspond privately.
Is there a medical spell check built in their software? n/m
nm
BARE BONES. Not bear need a spell check!

Horrible place. Check the archives, lots of info there.
Horrible, horrible, horrible place. Unlike the other poster
I actually worked there. Sound quality is horrendous. The account I had was the worst ESL I've ever had and I do 85% ESL so I have no problems doing ESL. Frequent management turnover. When I was doing QA the work was so bad that I pretty much had to redo every report. I hear about how well they pay, but they don't pay that well and certainly not enough to compensate for all the other stuff.
Worked there 2 years ago..horrible, horrible, horrible.
Would totally avoid them at all costs.
I know how to spell, but you dont have to know how to spell so much
as how to look things up.
Why are you cutting on me? I know how to spell. I won my school spelling bee and went to state.
The poster above me was putting people down that cant spell.
You can work at McDonald's but I am doing fine with what I am doing.
Thanks anyway for your wonderful advice but i dont need it
First of all, the auto workers SM
have been protected from the realities of the world for decades now. I have contact with them daily-you should hear them cry and complain over having to pay $4 a pay period to cover their family's health insurance. Co-pay for a Rx went up from $2 to $5? Oh, the complaining about what a raw deal they get.
These people all have cottages to summer in, multiple vehicles for business, leisure and sports and the rest of us have slaved. No company EVER promised to take care of its employees for life. We MTs have known that for years and now these people also can find this out.
SoftScript is the worst - horrible accounts, horrible management, don't go there! nm
nm
horrible, horrible contact person! Worst experience ever. SM
Turned it down because of the arrogance and attitude.
That was not long ago. Ads run every 2 - 3 months.
Notalways, Auto Hot Key sounds like something
I really should be using. I'm still looking stuff up dinosaur style. I just googled that term but got more than I wanted. Do you have a program you purchased, or is it some sort of free download? Do you combine a keyboard with additional function keys with it? Thanks.
BTW, I'm Just Saying, Expanders do help eliminate some of the proofreading for mistakes--yet another way they contribute to speed ($$). The words, phrases, sentences, and paragraphs your Expander rolls out are exactly as you stored them. No need to scrutinize them for typos.
Regarding how many are doing okay, different boards do have their own group personalities. Many people just aren't relating to the serious problems many come here to share and discuss with others in the same boat, so even if they drop in now and then they keep moving.
expansions
Oh my, forgive me. I didn't think it would be a problem, but I guess it is.
expansions
Boy, do you need to chill. Never been a thief before, not starting now. I did put those expansions in myself, 3 years worth, a lot of my own time. Ask a simple question, get a snotty wise-a** answer back
expansions
Sorry I started this thing, but I believe the consensus is that I should take my expansions with me. I will ask my supervisor. She is supposed to be calling me tonight. Not looking forward to that! Thanks for the support everybody, I need it right now!
MQ expansions
are saved in a file I think called user.aco. I left 5 months ago so can't remember exactly. You can bring it up as a text file in notepad and save it. When I left MQ, I saved all my expansions and converted them to Instant Text.
Expansions
I would talk to tech at TT. I didn't bother to do it. I took me about a month to get most of mine back in, not too bad, but it would have been easier if I had mine from MQ
Expansions
Anyone know of any other books besides Saving Keystrokes to improve expansions?
Expansions
I don't work with expansions, mostly because I don't quite understand them. When I started we were on typewriters.
What is the best one and how are they used?
Horrible accounts, horrible sound quality, etc
The only time SoftScript would not be wonderful is if you aren't doing your job. They are an extremely professional company. Sounds like someone may not have lived up to their standards.
Horrible, horrible place. Lots in the archives.
Transfer of expansions
Does anyone know how to transfer expansions from one platform over to a new platform?
No, but TT can convert your expansions over for you. sm
They did it for me.
Make an auto-response for their emails.."I DON'T WORK HERE!" nm
x
Say "Get Over It" to the auto workers and their families who are getting pink slips. sm
How do you think you would feel if you spent most of your adult life working for one of these companies promising you security if you stayed with them.
Horrible company, horrible dictators, ESL
at its absolute worst, sound quality horrible. The MTs I did QA for were horrendous. They made up words, obviously didn't use a spellchecker, couldn't get the hang of something as simple as copying and pasting Preop diagnoses to postop diagnoses and would type same again and again. QA manager would send out updates for new drugs, equipment and have things misspelled, frequently got e-mails that evidently were sent because someone wanted to feel important, absolutely no useful information, management problems, lots and lots of turnover, including management. The CEO has no clue about transcription and is in it for the money. After talking with him you feel like you need a shower.
Horrible platform. Horrible communication.
Horrible people who say one thing and then when you do what they say, they get mad and act ugly.
Enough of a bone?
Check Monster, CareerBuilder, MedHunters.com. Check with the companies you see listed if they're
s
Can you spell?
"capatalize"
WRONG!!
I can't believe it either, especially since she can't spell

Not much, not too, not too - She can't spell so
IMHO
Of course, if I could spell it would help! Sorry. nm
