changing docQscribe word expander to auto-correct
Posted By: Steve on 2008-08-07
In Reply to:
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.

They use a built-in expander like Auto Correct
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.
Similar to DocQScribe, expansions go in auto-correct, horrible spell-check. nm

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!
Put them in auto-correct - copy and paste. Quick and easy! nm

Is it possible to use a DocQscribe expander on
a different platform like Meditech? Or would I have to download something like shorthand?

Thanks!
DocQscribe is the correct spelling
DocQscribe.
word expander
Is there a word Expander that can be used with IDXrad?
TransTech Word Expander
You say that you like TransTech. What do you think of the Word Expander that has NOTHING in it? That is what has been driving me crazy. I am trying to get them to let me use Smartype for MS Word, but tech told me they weren't sure I could even use it given the platform they have. Plus I would have to pay for it, but it would be worth it to get all of my THOUSANDS of shortcuts back. I would have to start over, but words and phrases already loaded, it won't take me long. With the expander they have, you'll be adding shortcuts until the day you quit as you have to stop and look up the spelling of a word if you're not sure of it, whereas with ST, the word is already there. You either use SmarType's shortcut or create one you like better.
So again, I take it the Word Expander having nothing in it doesn't bother you? I like the company too, but the small print and worthless word expander does not make me a happy camper. I'm trying to find a different company. Also they do pay decent, but most all companies pay decent if you have a lot of experience, which I do.
Word expander with Precyse? sm
Does anyone know what word Expander Precyse uses? Thanks.
Does anyone know which word expander Spheris uses? nm

So if we use an expander and don't actually "type" word, then
we don't get paid for those Expanders used, huh?
This just better not be why our line counts are so low with TT and Extext !!
Keystrokes/word expander
Getting ready to take a job with Keystrokes on Meditech software....I can't believe there is not a word expander...what are others using. 
Shorthand, any expander that works with Word
Great company to work for - some dictators are difficult to understand at first, very good compensation.
Glad to see I'm not the only one with a feisty word-expander! I totally.. (nm)

Word-based, expander included, easy to use...NM
NM
iType is word based, iText Expander SM...
is included in the program and it works great for me. They were able to import my old PRD files right into it. Cost zero. You do need your own spellchecker. Pretty good program, reasonably MT friendly.
I am not following how you make the macro, in word? or expander like shorthand? Help me.
nm
The correct word is stat. as it is a Latin abbreviation.
It is not all caps and there is a period after 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.
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.
Make an auto-response for their emails.."I DON'T WORK HERE!" nm

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.
The platform is Word. Their program works with Word but does not change how Word works. nm
The benefits just changed the first part of this month. I don't have them but I remember them being reasonabl for a single person. Family and spouse was not reasonable in any way (in my opinion).
small to medium company that works in Word or Word-based program - email me. nm
nm
anyone work for Oracle - do they use Word or a Word-based program - e-mail me nm
nm
Just wanna work in Word - need company that works in WORD! nm

Their program works with Word and does not change how Word functions. sm
You use your own expander. Overall I feel it is user friendly and I like it.
that will be changing
sup's have already said you have to work 40 hrs from sun to sat on the new plan. Glad you are a happy MT at MQ, hope it continues, lucky you
They are out there, but changing to VR...:(

Does the Emdat platform use Word or is it Word-based? nm
nm
That's because they probably keep changing your divisor
to count the lines to match whatever they want to pay you. They are so bad. Taking money from transcriptionists who do all the real work and have the experience and intelligence that THEY USE to make THEIR MONEY!
Changing careers
I was a Transcriptionist for 11 years and going through the same thing - less pay and terrible accounts. Changed companies a lot, but it was always the same - little or no work. Finally I had a friend of mine who is a doctor (has her own family practice) tell me that she hired a company out of India to do her work for 7cpl with 24 hour TAT and they would incorporate it into her computer system. This was the last straw for me and I got out. I found a job transcribing and captioning videos for the deaf and hearing impaired students at a local university. I also take classes with a couple of these students and take notes. There are other things out there - I am happier than I have been in years!
I am looking into changing fields..from MT
to coding but don't know if at 53 I'm getting too old to switch OR if coding will go the way of transcription as far as being computerized. I know MQ has new transcription/coding computerized equipment but I'm hoping and praying billing and/or coding will continue to be done by humans for a while. I just don't know that much about billing/coding now to know what the field looks like but I've contacted a couple local schools about classes.
Changing world
It appears that management and supervisor positions are going down the drain. Reason being, a lot of them are working for two companies at one time, thus drawing two paychecks. The company officials who know nothing about transcription management have no idea that it doesn't take a full day to manage transcriptionists. Same being with QA and Editor positions, they are going to line rate now for the same reason. Seems like a few unworthy people have just ruined it for everyone. The trend now is going toward no titles of authority and just everyone having responsibilties that will cover a full day including typing in that job description. I wouldn't say thats really a bad change, I would say the companies are wising up, it is a business after all.
In defence of some though, there are though companies that assign 50 hospital accounts to one supervisor which is just terrible because they are on 24-7. Bottom line, it is no longer the prestigious job it used to be.

The forever changing AS...
Ever changing workload
If those people had any clue what they were doing, things would not be the way they are.
Have you ever worked for a company who suddenly sends out an email that says -we got a new acount- -it's already been added to your pool- -here are the account specifics- ...and has done this repeatedly with no warning whatsoever.
No human can keep all of those account specifics straight. If they had a brain, they would divide up those accounts and lessen the number of accounts in the MTs pools. In other words, if there are 100 MTs, put 3 accounts in 50 MTs' pools and the other 3 accounts in the other 50 MTs' pool. Does this not make sense?
They are so thoughtless and inconsiderate...will assign jobs to you without telling you or asking you if it is ok to do so, and then will send an email ordering you to stay on the system until you have completed all jobs assigned to you.
Unbelievable! I'm outta there as fast as I find something else. Hate it...hate it...hate it.
OMG! Changing Ribbons! LOL :)
This is way down the page, so you may not see this, but YES! I had forgotten all about changing the ribbon! Too funny! Man that takes me back! :)
changing MT jobs
hi out there - I have been working with TotalEMed, now Spheris, for quite awhile -- pay on speech recog is 0.05 line and transcribing 0.06 line and am thinking about another company - does any one know of a company they have had a pretty good experience... I was thinking about the Northeast Transcription, Medquist and a few others. thanks so much for any help with this. I have about 7 years exp.
They are changing platforms and we will all be

company changing pay??
So, we have just been notified that our company will be changing our pay basically to 2 cpl on any templates and macro information and our full line rate on what we actually type out!! What?? Is this normal? It just seems like crap, especially before the holidays to just in a sense lower the money we are making. I mean, this would make quite a difference in the amount of money you were originally making wouldnt you all think?
Why is TTD changing names.......sm
On job seeker's board, TTD has another add but now they posted the company name as TMinc????
Guess they are not getting resumes or responses to their ads. hmmm
I have no issues with HRP, changing
choices very easy. I just may be used to it as I have to do it with my husband's company every year through their own system.
changing accounts
I will be changing my primary account due to lack of work on my current account. So, I will see how that goes. If it is not any better I will also have to get out.
Anyways, good luck at your new position.
I'm just telling you, it's going to be changing.

LOL. I'm thinking of changing jobs and just
visited this board to check out companies. I don't know anything about OSI.
But I can tell from some of the posters above that they don't seem like a very nice bunch of people. I sure wouldn't want to work with them. The word "evil" wasn't the first word to pop in my mind. The word "hateful" was the first word. If I, as a total stranger to all this, can see hatred, then you as someone with experience, surely must be accurate when using the word "evil." (Sends chills up my spine.)
Definitely scratching OSi off my list!
I'm very grateful for these board. They contribute more than most people realize. 
I want to do a comparison now that everything seems to be changing at MQ and the other nationals. sm
what is the starting line count rate for acute care at some of the big nationals? or the range? How about for radiology or pathology? Do most have incentive programs and what do they consist of? If we could put it all together, we would eliminate a lot of posts and maybe have a reference for those of us looking so that we do not waste time, energy and the possibility of being lied to.
Here is what I know:
ETranz - 0.10 per line but my checks keep bouncing when I finally get paid very late. No incentive. No direct deposit.
Transolutions - 0.08 per line. They supply the equipment and computer (or did 2 years ago). Their system is a dinosaur. I always got paid on time.
I mean nothing by it but everyone knows this is a constantly changing industry! nm

Do they keep changing your accts & platforms or do you have just 1 or 2
