Getting an Expander software
Posted By: Marianne Kleen on 2007-04-20
In Reply to: Auto Text too full-slow MS Word - Bonnie Wild
There are several choices.
Make sure you select one that can convert your AutoCorrect and AutoText files easily so you can use your short forms right away.
One of those is Instant Text. See link below.

expander software
Has any body read Saving Ke=strokes from Stedmans and what did you think?
Stedman's also has an expander software.
It is Stedman's Smartype.
word expander software
Anyone know of any good ones.
What type of expander software do you use with eScription?
Which ones work and don't work best with eScription software? Thanks!!! :-)
Thanks for your tips. I use ESP expander that is part of the Dictaphone software.
I will definitely see how goes without doing a read through first. I just feel so slow right now. I'm used to typing upwards of 2000 lines in a day and with VR (I just started VR a couple of weeks ago) I fell to 1200 to 1500 and it is just frustrating me! I feel like I'm constantly starting and stopping the dictation, more so than when I'm transcribing, because there are so many corrections that need to be made.
Thanks again!
Yeah, you're right. Who cares who licenses your software? Heck, I use all pirated software anyw
why pay for anything, right?
Except that is AGAINST THE LAW!!!
A friend of mine got one and she is finding that some of her software, specifically her ISP software

If u need server software, try guild ftp. If just user software
then try cuteftp, coffeecupftp, or wsftp. They don't charge a line rate and I believe guildftp server software is still free.
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.
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.
Another big factor is software. If the software isn't
transcription friendly, it can really hurt your bottom line.
Otherwise, $1.20 per report is a pretty decent rate for radiology.
Good luck - hope it works out for you.

NEW SOFTWARE
I have been out of the loop lately. What is this new software? I am currently looking for a medical transcription job and need a little catching up, obviously. I would REALLY appreciate a reply on this issue. 
software
I work for a company that uses it and it's very simple to use. I edit 90% and transcribe 10% and it's very simple to use. Basically it's microsoft word with all the bells and whistles.
Software
I have used both Quick Books and Quicken and prefer Quick Books for invoicing, etc. I have two checking accounts, personal and business of course, and pay my business bills through there -- even by subs and that downloads into Quick Books which can be downloaded into my Turbo Tax. Also on my personal side that gives me my utilities payout total also and I can then just deduct my 20 to 25% of them for my taxes. Works for me.
software
A place called Webchart contacted me and had a lot of the features you are looking for but it was quite expensive and I knew my docs would not go for it. I could not afford several hundred dollars a month for it. But you might do a goggle and see what comes up but the company name was webchart.
a/v software
aside from the fact that it's probably true..!! hehe.
if anyone wants info a a terrific a/v proggie, please off-list (e-mail) me, and i will send the link.
Software Available
I am using a sotware that is designed by me. Let me know your email ID, I shall send you my software.
VR software
I work for a company who is a major developer of voice recognition software. I do transcription for them also and some reports are done with the voice recognition software. Yes, it is like basically editing. That is unless you get a dictator with a heavy accent and the software even has a hard time understanding. The dictators have to go through a training period and the software actually learns their voice and speech patterns. The hard medical words it usually gets with no problem, but the smaller everyday words don't come through correct all the time. Some doctors are great, others should not be using it at all. It makes for quite an amusing report at times. I know it is the way of the future but I personally would rather type the report myself than try and edit some mess.
software
go through the link http://www.core-software.com/TMinfo.htm for a good software
Is there any software out there....
that performs like a Dictaphone or C-phone where you can dial into a system with your computer and control the dictation with a foot pedal? My Dictaphone is going haywire, and I was wondering about some kind of computer software to replace it, if there is such a thing.
To any software out there.... sm
go to http://www.nch.com.au/software/dictation.html
they have inexpensive call in solutions that work very well.
Good luck!
What the best software to use?
Me and a couple of my MT friends have decided to make a small little MT company. You know just the three girls, made a lil pamplet and all. We're hoping by banding together we can met new clients ect. I was wondering what Mt software -for when the clients upload the audio files-should we use? We're on a budget and can't afford the 2,500 SW that's we've seen online. ANy suggestions?
FTP software
I'm trying to learn new FTP software, FTP Navigator. I can read the files but they are in word pad. Is this right? I am trying to read their sample reports and would rather read them in Word. Can anyone help? TIA
OEM Software
I worked for a computer company that sold new computers. OEM software is perfectly legal software and can be registered. This software is only supposed to sold with computers and/or hard disk drives. The software companies offer this software as OEM so manufactures, like Dell, can purchase the software at a reduced price and package it with their new computer systems. Technically, it is not supposed to be sold by itself, but it is perfectly legal.
Do you know what the VR software is?

software
I use Express Scribe too. It is free to download and so easy to use!
It would have to be software like PC Anywhere (sm)
and I would think they would have to have your permission to put this on there. As far as their own software, it wouldn't be able to *spy* on you. If someone else knows something different, please correct me.
Software
Could you let me know what system you are using and if you like it? For example, Vianeta, MD Intouch, Dictran. I am trying to find a good system for my company and would appreciate your input.
Thanks
You will need more than the software.
Software is only the interface between your computer and the computer where the files are being stored. You need to have a secure server set up somewhere that you can upload/download files. These are not free. There is one site, www.ftptogo.com, that provides FTP space without needing software
What is the software you will be using?

Save Keystrokes and get paid more $$. These abbreviation typing programs expand an abbreviation macro typed into the keyboard and produce the expanded words or paragraphs they represent into your document automatically to greatly increase your typing speed. We offer Instant Text, Shortcut and Abbreviate.
you already do this with your autocorrect and autotexts or quickwords in WP, but this software allows you to port all your entries over to any transcription software that is "compatible" with whatever Expander you are using WITHOUT HAVING TO RETYPE THEM ALL AGAIN. It can be pretty extensive and a time saver.
Software
Where does one get medical spell checker software and short word software? About how much and how long does it take to get it? I thought companies provided those. All the ones I worked for did.
You can always buy the XP software
find Vista doesn't work for you. I think the software runs around $150, though.
I work on DocQScribe and was told that it would work on Vista, but there are a few bugs still that need worked out. I think that's probably the general consensus. It will probably work but have a few glitches.
Key for software- sm
Inside the case that your software came in, there should be a sticker with a string of numbers and letters. This is your software key needed to install the software.
expander
I have been transcribing for 10 years, 4 at home. I have never used expanders, do they really help, how hard are they to learn and use?
oh yes! must have an expander! I really
like shorthand and they have a free trial period. I've gotten so that I can't type without it. I abbreviate everthing from phases to everyday words. on average it saves me 3-4 hours of typing a day (according to the stats it gives you).
shorthand and speedtype are the same except shorthand is cheaper because it only has email support rather than phone support. very, very easy to start and learn....highly recommend 
expander
Shorthand and ABCZ by Jon Knowles. Together they rock.
What expander do you have...most can be ...
recovered. You just need to know what the files are named and find the right folder...
expander
I type directly into a hospital system. I use S/H and Jon Knowle's word program. About a $120.00 investment has increased my productivity by about 32% last time I check. I type rad reports - get paid by report. Words you type all the time - group together
Ti=there is
tin=there is no
tine=there is no evidence
tineo=there is no evidence of
I used to jot this down and input later but now I do it as I type.
I also browse www.productivitytalk.com very helpful in shortcuts. Give you good ideas.

That's the webside to check out. It's Shorthand. And my supplement word Expander is ABCZ Typing (i.e. osab=osseous abnormality)

DQS has its own expander, which is okay. SM
You'll get instructions on how to change your expansions over to the DQS program. Good luck on your line count. It will plunge wildly. Mine did. Best wishes to you.
No; expander, expander, expander.
I start out at a higher lph rate and then dwindle down, so the last couple of hours of my sessions are at much lower lph.
I have good and bad dictators, ESLs, and mainly Op Notes. Probably average around 7 to 9 minutes per report.
I cannot stress the Expander enough. I rarely type out anything - have it in my expander.
Mainly, stick to it for 2 hours, take a break; 2 hours, take a break, 2 hours, break, 1 hour. Then I take off 2-3 hours and hit another session of 6 hours which are SLOWER than my first session. I start out doing pretty good and break every 2 hours and am pretty slow (for me) by the time it is over.
DQS has an expander and then
CTS (Spheris software that I use) has Shorthand.
What expander do you use, and
how do you remember them all?
Expander most like DQS
When I worked for MQ, I liked their expansion program - it was simple and I added them as I thought of them. What expansion program is the most like it? I'm finding Instant Text to be too cumbersome.
Expander
Instant Text is my all time favorite. It's not cheap but it is well worth the price.
expander
It is WELL worth the price. I wouldn't be without it. I have tried others and this one does the most.
expander
It only takes a couple of days to get used to it. In my opinion, it is much easier than the other expanders. But like I said, that's my opinion.
WP expander
I use Instant Text with WP and it works great. Hope this helps.
