Recently there was a post here asking people to try the above program - and then the guy came back and thanked participants
??? Anyone who tried this software - are you willing to share your opinion - for price alone it is definitely worth considering but I am wondering...
Is it fast, easy to use? Are the popups annoying? Can you do functions with it or just expand words/phrases?
Any info appreciated / thanks

expander program
I love my Instant Text. It attaches to the bottom of Word and allows you to choose how many suggestions it lists. You select the one you want and tap a key for it to insert the phrase, word, etc. into your document. You can enter as many as you want, and it also comes with a lot of .glo files. You can buy others, and there are some free files out there, too. If you type in a phrase to include and tap tab key, the program automatically creates a shortcut for you. It’s always the first letter of each word. You can change the shortcut if you want to. It’s really easy!
What expander, short-cut program (sm)
works best with Transnet ExText? Will Keystrokes provide this Expander if you purchased the foot pedal? Feel free to e-mail me if you like, I'd appreciate the helpful information.
Yes, I have expander but I would like a macro program.. sm
to do those things my Expander cannot. I used MS Word for a short period of time and got used to macros to perform tasks. Now my software is not Windows based and I have no macro program though have seen some for sale. I just don't know enough to make an intelligent choice.
Yes, it's a word expander--can be used with any program (not just DQS)

Pros and cons of word Expander programs that work with Chartscript? PC ShortHand as opposed to Instant Text? Which is better? I have downloaded PC shorthand for a 30 day trial, but to me its a little slow. Any ideas? Thanks
Need help finding a good expander program
I work on DocQscribe and I use Instant Text. Does anybody out there work on a different shorthand program that is compatible with DocQscribe? Instant Text is okay but I am wondering if there is another program I would like more.
new at this... how do I choose a good expander program?
 Which is best Expander program? anyway to get a free trial to check out how these things work?

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.
Try an expander program like Instant Text.

Perhaps you listed it that way in your autocorrect or other expander program
Does your program have an option to put in a backspace in your expander?
I use ShortHand for Windows, and if this is what you use, you can put {@KEY BkSp} at the end of it and it will automatically backspace as part of the shortcut.
Same thing applies for bolding, etc. If you look in the help section, you should be able to find out if you can do this.
If you work in Microsoft word, you could record a macro instead of putting it into the autocorrect section.
Good luck!

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.
I have never found a program shorthand does not work with, it works outside the program (I think tha

PRD is a DOS program. I don't think it work with Word, a Window's program.

It will count everything if you go in the settings and program it to. Good program!
Sylcount is an awesome and accurate counting program also. That will count everything if you "tell it to".
You can use Shorthand in ANY program, it works outside your program
I have never found a platform it did not work with and I have worked on several different versions of Meditech. Just start using it.
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.
M-TEC has a Basic program (12 month) and a Premier program (18 month). To WAH, you should take the P
:)
Shorthand works with every program, it works outside the program you use, does not interfere.

My son learned more homeschooling then he ever learned at school. He actually could get the information he needed without having to sit through rubbish in the classrooms, kids talking, burned out teachers, the trouble making kids, all the "junk" that seems to be moreso in today's classrooms than ever before. Even his teachers agreed. Several said if they weren't teaching, they would liked to have homeschooled their own children....they feel they learn more.
Ditto. Same here. nm

Yep, Trump put him in an awkard spot and I think Randall handeled it right. Maybe Randall can hire Rebecca to work for him now if he wants.

I totally agree - I had surgical menopause at 32, both ovaries and uterus out, and I'm now 56, and it has been awful - depression, menopausal symptoms EVERYDAY since then with little help from HRT...I wish I had someone to tell me what to expect. Think about it very seriously - really. Best of luck in your decision.

I really do find some of it interesting, and I like to feel like I am contributing to the overall care of the patient. I have a couple of decent accounts I consistently work on, and I really cannot complain at all about them. The people I deal with at my company are nice too.
I was a SAHM for 7 years before doing this and I really like working again. The kids are still young (7,almost 4, almost 3) and it is nice to be able to flex my schedule a bit if one is home sick from daycare/school and also to attend all of those class parties blah blah blah without begging permission to work through lunch or stay late to do so.
I don't like doing the same thing for 40 hours per week though. I have a hard time sitting that long. I didn't think I cared for people very much as far as dealing with them all day long as part of work, but now I do realize I would like to be around people for at least part of my job. I am thinking about doing some volunteer work at hospice or something just to give me some variety and feel like I am touching someone's life directly.
I love using my education to do this job though! DH helped me pay off my student loans from college and I had been getting sick of hearing about the lousy return on investment. I also love that I am getting paid to know the information I loved to learn.

Ditto... need your help!
I would love to hear more about that diet - sounds like something I need and might actually be able to do!
ditto and how
Not long ago, in one of my nursing (psychiatric) journals, the editorial contained the phrase "to the manner born"....and I have seen it elsewhere. Yikes!
Also my flesh crawls when I hear "orientated" but I see that has been incorporated as an alternative spelling per my Random House dictionary.
I find myself struggling not to correct grammar or syntax in conversation. My daughter calls me a word-snot.
Which brings me to hyphens. Do I have the correct understanding when I use a hyphen with, for, example, washed-up career, (i.e. the washed modifies career, foul ) but incorrectly when (and there seems to me to be an overuse of hyphens) if I write foul-smelling socks...because the foul modifies smelling per se?
And how about the frequent "I am anxious to attend the Rolling Stones concert" rather than the "I am eager to attend the Rolling......"
Thanks for your input.

Ditto with me....sm
I tried NutriSystem years ago for their month trial, lost 10 pounds and then used it as a guideline for my own diet and lost another 20 llbs., as well as with walking. Now ten years later, after gaining back many pounds due to inactivity and overindulging, I also was considering Jenny Craig but did not like some of the food (as well as cost) so used her program (as well as NutriSystems from years ago) as a guideline for my own diet and started going to the gym.....now down over 50 lbs.!!! I try to stay at 1200 calories daily (low fat/low calorie food, still eat carbs--love 'em), but I think the BIGGEST help has been the gym. I actually enjoy it now, even the treadmill (no walking for me....I actually jog)!! When I first started going it was 5-6 times a week (1-2 hours cardio/weights) and followed my diet closely, but I have backed off now to 4 times a week and cheating on weekends only, and I am still losing weight but very slowly (I have essentially been at my goal for awhile, but a few more would be nice). The first 3 days of my diet were the worst.....hungry, hungry, hungry, but I slowly adjusted and now have a eating/exercise lifestyle I can live with.....going on a year now.
