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.

Yes, I do. Was this upgrade something that I would (sm)
have seen happening on my screen? Because if so, I didn't see anything unusual anytime. I'm really confused now.
Upgrade equipment
Upgrading your equipment, I cant make enough money to pay for upgrading the equipment! I have been sitting here all day, since 7:30 this morning, trying to get a decent line count and Im still only at around 500 lines..hardly any work all day..just about the worst I have ever seen it. If and when I decide to move on, Im gonna have to go with a company that supplies the equipment. Right now, this pay check I probably will just about be able to pay my bills and I need new tires! LOL! Well, I will be sitting here tonight till about midnight, hopefully some work will build up in the system.
what the heck is there to upgrade anyway on a DD?

Well, this is a significant upgrade from SM
previous--Keystrokes will definitely now be on my list for possible employers. I think you've really opened yourselves to a much larger talent pool with the improvement!
When was there an Ex-Text upgrade??
nm
Spheris upgrade?
I have been down for the past 2 days due to computer problems. I was wondering if anybody else has been down. Also, I doubt I will get any down time.
windows
 Does anyone know what is better Vista windows or XP windows. I need to know because I am getting a computer.
Transtech did ExText upgrade on 6/6/07.
When we logged onto the system ExText did an automatic upgrade on that day. You must work for Transtech?
It is the companies that do not want to pay to upgrade to get compatible with it. nm

You say word 2003 upgrade. Is this
I didn't have to upgrade because I had it already but if its the same company I think the QA person can use a class in learning how to deal with people without rudeness.
an upgrade? mean newer version?
This should not be an end of the year thingee seems to me. I would ask what exactly an upgrade means. No reason not to ask for the facts. Does it mean an upgraded version of MedRite or upgrade to a newer type platform or just what does it mean.
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.

Nice people, but they need a major upgrade.
:(
It was slow before this last upgrade. Tech support is sm
wonderful as well. I don't find it slow.
Stinks, doesn't it? Seems like everytime they do an upgrade sm
the lines get tougher to get.
They also recommend ShortCut for Windows. nm

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............
new computer -Windows Vista sm
Will I have trouble finding a company that can use this?? TIA
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:

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!
Is your MTSO ready for Windows 7 when it comes

The solution center's memo of an upgrade to the system SM
in the next couple of weeks (not on company computer right now so don't remember exact date) includes release notes that says the issue of the platform freezing will be corrected. I hope this fixes some of my own problems.
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.
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.

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.
They flew out the MTSOs' and the hospitals' windows
BTW - Ever hear of that old,
'He who casts the first stone' saying?
Memo specifically said upgrade would address the platform freezing up.

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
Ex-Spheris MT, HITS is a windows-based application...
you will type in. It is very, very user friendly. Frankly, it is the only aspect I miss about working for Healthscribe/Spheris. Good luck!!
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.
I had that happen and had to play them in Windows media player-nm

Okay.. I've tried Windows Media and Real Player.. nothing.. still saying I need codecs.
I've never had this problem playing a test before. I am not sure what the deal is. I hate to give up .. but...
Which shortcut program works best with Windows-based Meditech?nm

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..
