Could someone who knows Meditech tell me how to use the short cuts. No one ever taught me - just basics of typing - and I know there are things that can help. thank you for your help.

Try Abbreviate - works quite well with Meditech.
expander for MediTech
I have used Shorthand with Meditech now for about two years and it works great.
Best expander to use with Meditech - sm
I never used an Expander other than autocorrect with Word. Can anyone give me some direction.
Meditech Expander on Citrix
Hi all, I have searched the forums and can't find an answer. My hospital recently went to Meditech and I am typing on Meditech through a website on Citrix. None of my Expanders work with the Citrix website.
Any ideas? I have tried Shortcut, Flashtype and As You Type and nothing works. I am ready to pull my hair out. Hope someone can help.
Meditech Expander on Citrix
I have ShortHand 9X and when I press the spacebar for the expansion, I get the Meditech message, just like I pressed F12, asking me if I want to save the text. It doesn't expand.

PCSHORTHAND is the only one I have found to work with Meditech; www.pcshorthand.com
Need an expander that works with Meditech system
I have tried some free downloads of a couple of programs but had problems with them. Had to turn them off and on when I went to different screens or different aspects in Meditech. I do Radiology and basic 4 with access to Meditech Expander which is only good for long repetitive phrases and I often go into the medical charts to look up medicines, etc. This poses a problem with some Expanders as I enter codes to get to the different screens. Please help!
What is the best expander program for Meditech system?
I asked this question a while back and someone told me ShortHand worked great with Meditech. I have downloaded the new trial version of it and it interferes with certain keys that are used in Meditech. Such as filling out information screens and the save button in Meditech. Things come up that I don't want to come. I want a program that will expand only in the text part of Meditech. Any help would be appreciated.
Even 4.5 is too low. doctors do not change - they still hem and haw, change, change stuff along wit
It is just not enough for the work. Speech is great on the wrists but you are not just reading what is typed, you are making a lot of changes. I have a hard time doubling a lot of days with all the changes I have to make. Just my opinion.
Don't change. I had to change back to cable. SuddenLink DSL stinks! nm

Change provider vs change to business plan
In your place, I would seriously consider changing providers if there were others available in your area, but I'd ask around about their service quality first. It may not be any better. If there are no other providers, then consider changing your service package to a business account rather than residential. They're usually more expensive, but they also tend to get faster service if there's a problem.
Last summer, I had no electricity for 3 days due to severe storms, but there were some 600,000 in the same boat with me. We just had to wait it out. It's a downside of working at home.
POLL: Productivity gain using your expander and what expander you use.
Guess I need to make it work harder.
The shortcuts expander works with the Bayscribe expander as well.
All at the same time.
change attitude, change life
The first thing you need to change is that defeatist attitude! I know that's hard at times like this, but that's when you need to most.
I won't go into detail, but my financial situation is also at an all-time low, we couldn't even exchange gifts., daughter in hospital twice, & no med insurance)..but then I heard about how much worse things were for others around me this season. Now I'm thankful instead!
I use shortcut
but this has happened to me with it and I was told to always make sure you open your expansion program behind the document you are working in.
Shortcut
What are "Shortcuts" and "Windows" expanders? I don't like the Expander I have and I can't use the one I bought about five years ago.
No shortcut!
Notice all these products say somewhere in fine print (even on commercials) something like "works best with a sensible diet and exercise." Proper diet and exercise the ONLY answer to losing weight.
Another ? Has anyone used PRD and ShortCut?
I'm having to switch Expanders too and have used PRD. While researching it seems that ShortCut is very similar to PRD. Does anyone know if you can import Expander word list from Dos to Windows?
I use every shortcut I can
That is the way to make money
Shortcut
I think these only work if the software has it written into it.
Try Control plus "+" to enlarge and Control plus "-" to decrease the viewing size of the characters.
Otherwise, you could go into your software's "view" option and see if there is a shortcut there.
Here's a shortcut for you.
Using the information given to you below on how to write the formula, you can copy the formula(s) to a many rows below by doing the following:
Left mouse click in the first cell that contains the formula to be copied. Hold down that mouse button to highlight the cell(s) containing the formula(a) you want to copy and all the cells by dragging the mouse across them (still holding down that mouse button). When you get to the last cell you want to highlight, let go of the mouse button and hit Ctrl+D. This will copy the formula(s) into their respective columns, changing all cell references accordingly.
(Please post if you don't understand this and I'll try to re-explain.)
Here's another shortcut
If you have to have multiple apps open at once: i made a macro and assigned to an F key - so to switch back and forth I only have to hit one key.
Also did the same with block and copy - one stroke on an F key.
ShortCut
LOVE ShortCut and have used it for years with success on virtually every platform I have ever used 
I use Shortcut
This one is really simple to use/edit. I've been using it for years but I can't rate it against anything else because I've never used anything else. If you're using a platform that doesn't work well with the expander, there is a way to load the Expander entries into the autotext function and it will expand the same way.
As for the entries themselves, here's what I usually do:
I'd enter "chff" for congestive heart failure, using the extra "f" because there are times when a client only wants the abbrev. This way I can type "CHF" without it expanding every time.
Shortcut
Have used shortcut for years, when I changed jobs, the tech people were able to do it, there is also an 800 number to call the company that distributes shortcut and they will walk you thru it when you first purchase - also I think their web site had directions. I currently work in Chartscript so don't know if it is the same.
ShortCut
I went to the website for ShortCut but still have some questions (there's not much info about it out there, like on Productivity Talk). Does it have a preview window like ShortHand and the old SmartType? Can you import your word list from other Expander programs into it?
shortcut
There is a book Saving Keystrokes that can be purchased on the internet that of great help for some commonly used phrases and words. I did find this website for downloading shortcuts, but I have not actually gone in and done it so not sure what is there, but probably not much for medical shortcuts I just typed in autocorrect shortcut in the address box and there are several sites you might check also.

You can figure out from each of your doctors what they use a lot and make your own, and put them in autocorrect perhaps under the doctor's ID number and then something you will remember.
Most of these shortcuts are your personal phrases and what your doctors use on a regular basis, so will have to be done individually and in ways that you remember.
Get out while you can. Things will *never* change unless you change them. (nt)
I'm looking for a keyboard shortcut
to type the date, 10/13/05, using the microsoft word 97 program. I'm sure I read somewhere that there is one.
thanks to all for shortcut ideas
This is wonderful. Thanks to all of you for sharing. I really appreciate and will pass it on to my friends as well.
Shortcut programs?
Which shortcut program is easier to use? Shortcut for Windows, Smartype, or InstanText? I need to start building a good shortcut list so I can build up my line count?
RE: Shortcut programs
I really like Shortcut. I just upped my version.
shortcut question
I am using a trial version of shortcut. I have added shortcuts to a file, but when I pull them up the first letter is duplicated -- for example. tpt -- the patient -- comes out tthe patient. Anyone dealt with this? I have e-mailed tech support but no response yet.
shortcut or shorthand? I know there's
a little incapatability with ShortHand and activewords. If it is shorthand, then you have to install a specific version of activewords to use shorthand. Here's the link for that

If it's shortcut, sorry, I don't know what the fix might be.
shortcut keys
I am wondering if anyone knows this- there is supposed to be a shortcut key that you can circumvent an Expander with. Say I want to type the name Lee and lee is my expander for lower extremity edema, is there something I can hit that would keep it from expanding just when I typed the name? I swear I remember someone telling me this once but now nobody in our entire facility seems to know what that would be. Thanks!
Suggestions for a shortcut for with....
Silly, I know. I just can't seem to come up with a good one. I already us "wi" for "within". Thanks for any input!
Try the shortcut keys
You will do much better with the shortcut keys. Remember, the linecount varies, depending on the physician and the customer. Give Alt-K a try.
Good luck
Is there another shortcut program
that you are working with inside Word? Because that may override your autocorrect entries, I found out the hard way using esp and then adding autocorrect because it is the better program
I've never used shortcut,....
only Instant Text, but have used it for over 7 years and love it.
Need help with Shorthand and Shortcut
Can someone tell me how to convert my ShortHand File to my Shortcut for windows. Thanks!!
ShortHand Shortcut
do you want to create a shortcut on your desktop for ShortHand? if so, use your start button and find your ShortHand program on "All Programs," then right click the ShortHand program and select "create shortcut."
or you can find the shorthand.exe using the "my computer" button on your desktop and right click from there and create a shortcut.
hope this helps!
How did you get Shortcut to work in DQS?
Sorry I don't have an answer for you, but I'm wondering about Shortcut. Did you have it imported into DQS to make it work? I've been trying to find an Expander that I can use in DQS. How did you do it? TYI!
bayscribe re yo shortcut
On status screen, bottom right is link for transcription manual. On next menu, click bayscribe manual and scroll down to word Expander tips and tricks...an exerpt:
Word Expander Tips and Tricks
One handy definition that you can create is one that will easily expand to, for instance, "11-year-old". To do this, create an expansion with the ShortHand of yo. Then in the With: box type Ctrl-Backspace followed by -year-old. To activate this expansion, just type any number followed by a space, yo, space. For instance, "11 yo" will expand to "11-year-old ". Backspace characters show up as dark vertical lines in the With: b
question for those who use ShortCut
Does it also offer a "suggestion window" like Shorthand...like a preview window to see that the expansions are as you type?
Your question about ShortCut
Not really sure what you mean about a preview window, however, if you maximize your ShortCut program you can see what abbreviations you have created. I have used this program for years and find it to be extremely user friendly.
can u explain your shortcut to me...
like i'm a 6-year-old because either your quotes are freaking my eyes out or i'm just too dense. i'm trying to speed myself up and i can't get what you are saying, plus how do you "name" that shortcut for example?
Word Expander Programs - Are there any expander programs that are easy to use and learn
that are similar to the MS Word expander? I prefer something very simple. I like MS Word expander; however I have gone over my limits and cannot add any more shortcuts so I need a program that will hold a larger amount of shortcuts. Many thanks.
word shortcut for date? NM

They also recommend ShortCut for Windows. nm

Which do you prefer, Shortcut or Shorthand (sm)
I've always used Expanders already built in to program, but making a change and need to purchase an Expander (Word-based platform). So I don't know much. Please enlighten me. Which do you prefer?
Thanks, guys :-)
