Thank you, thank you!
I have both and I was wondering about this! Can't believe I came across your post, it's just what I needed. Now I have my answer and since I have IT, plus I've imported my PRD files as a glo.file, I know what I'll stick with. Guess I'd only use Auto Correct if IT wasn't available. I will sorely miss my PRD and WP51. Nothing could be faster. But in a mouse-driven world, an upgrade is inevitable at my job. We will soon be using Word and I don't know if IT will interface with out system. Then again, the job will probably be shipped to India shortly. And I'll be ready.

Autocorrect vs Instant Text
In AutoCorrect you have a dedicated short forms for each entry. You enter every new entry manually, assign a dedicated short form and make sure it is not a word.
In Instant Text you can do the same thing.
However, Instant Text can do a lot more. In the beginning, to make the transition as smooth as possible, you may want to use IT the way you use AutoCorrect, and then discover little by little all the things IT can do for you to increase your productivity even more.
When you use the Instant Text features, you use the skills of your fingers, your memory, AND your eyes with the result that you fingers and arms will hurt much less.
You can have the same short form for different expansions, and for all the drug names you don't even have to use a dedicated short form.

Shorthand versus Instant Text?
Pros/cons? Any info on either would be great. Also, if anyone could elaborate on how much they increased their lines using programs such as these. Thank you!

Can anyone help me with this? I am using eScription as well as Inscribe software and it does not appear to be compatible with Instant Text (if it is, please help!) so I was hoping to be able to convert my IT glossary over to autocorrect if at all possible. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Can I transfer instant text word list to autocorrect??
Hi all. Well I have a ton of entries stored in my Instant Text program. The problem is, that now that I am using Editscript version 8 instead of version 6, whenever I use my instant text program, it freezes up on me.. So I am just wondering, is there any way that I can transfer over my IT word lists over to autocorrect in microsoft word?? I think this is the only text Expander I can use with editscript 8. I really appreciate any help with this!!

Where did you get Instant Text?
Like Best Buy or somewhere like that?
Instant Text ?
All you have to do is add VENTILATION PERFUSION SCAN to the glossary. Type it in your document the way you want all caps with a colon or not, etc. and highlight it and press Alt and the +/= sign at the same time to add it to the glossary and then the next time you want it type vps but look at the list and pick the one you want all caps or lower case. You can always delete the lower case version if you do not need it. Let me know if you need more info. Good Luck
Instant Text V Pro
I can give you some info on Instant Text V Pro if you'd like.
The most popular features of IT V Pro include the Importer, the Compilation feature, the Includes feature and Continuations.
The Importer takes abbreviation lists from other sources, such as AutoCorrect, and imports them into IT so you can continue using them without having to start creating a new list from scratch.
The Compilation feature is used to create personalized glossaries by scanning saved documents on your computer and pulling out the most frequently used phrases and words to instantly compile a customized glossary in seconds.
The Includes feature allows you to use more than one glossary at a time.
And the Continuations feature is a feature that brings up what you are likely to type next in your sentence. So for example, if you were to type "The patient", IT will then suggest what you are likely to type next based on what you've typed in the past.
