How could a dictionary/text or word expander..sm

compromise patient confidentiality? Just another ploy by MTSOs for control. Some of them think we are so dumb they would claim proprietary ownership to our underwear if they could get away with it.

They are different. One is an expander and Stedman's is a dictionary. I have both.

I had created a huge dictionary in my expander too...sm
But I was still a butterfingers! Just lack of fine motor skills, I suppose. Couldn't have made it without my word expander.
I remember when we typed on IBM Selectric typewrites and EVERY single word had to be typed out. Geez, what a bore!
MS word dictionary - removal of word - sm
Anyone out there able to give me step-by-step instructions on how to enter the dictionary for MS Word to remove a word I entered incorrectly? I'd appreciate any help at all. I know this can be done, because I did it myself years ago, but cannot remember how I did it. TIA.

Hi there. Does anyone know how to delete words from Word 2000 that I haven't added. They have words like wit in there and I would like to access their dictionary and get rid of some of them as I make common errors of some words. Thanks for any help.
Invest in a dictionary - "alot" is not one word

Expander with Beyond Text
What Expander works best with Beyond Text? I have been using Smartype but my system crashes a lot with it.
text expander
anyone use an inexpensive expander?
Get yourself a text expander instead.
Or use autocorrect and/or autotext if you are using MS Word. You'll remember abbreviations for your expansions a lot easier than all those key combos. Macros for text went away with DOS. :)

Instant Text.... Love It

If anybody types for MedScript, can you tell me which text Expander works. Used to use QuickScript and loved it but it will not work over their network.
Thanks guys!

text expander programs....
Hi everyone. I have been an MT for 14 years and have never used a text Expander program. I've only used autocorrect for individual words and phrases and for years I used ExText and its ESP program. I'm looking at Instant Text, but I'm a little concerned about having to make the choices, etc and being distracted by the boxes. I type pretty fast and am wondering if it would actually slow me down. Does anyone have any thoughts, opinions?? Also - feel free to comment about other expander programs. Thanks.
Which Text Expander do You Prefer?
I am starting a new job for which I have to purchase a text expander. I have always used Chartscript and therefore I have always used the text Expander in Chartscript. However, with this new job, I need my own!  Can ya'll tell me what your favorite expander is? The only one I know even a little bit about is Shorthand. Thanks in advance.
Instant Text - an expander program.

Try an expander program like Instant Text.

Has anyone had problems with their Shorthand text expander? sm
I have had mine for almost 10 years with no problems and suddenly it started not working. The type it button became inactive. At first restarting it fixed it but then that stopped fixing it so I uninstalled and reinstalled and that worked for about a day and then it stopped working again and reinstalling didn't help the next time. Has anyone had this problem?

Instant Text expander..Does anyone know if it works with Bayscribe? sm
and how expensive it is? I currently use ShortHand but reading some of the posts below feel I might be interested in trying Instant Text. Do you know if I would be able to transfer my Shorthand abbreviations into Instant Text? Thanks for your help!
Swift Text or cheaper expander info please
I was wondering if anyone uses Swift Text Expander or any other cheaper Expanders (if there are any). I am going to start doing some IC work besides my full-time job. I am going to be paid hourly but I would like an expander just because I am so used to using it now I would be lost without it. I currently use what is built into my work system now and do not any experience with others. I am only going to do this extra work minimally so didn't know if it would be worth investing in a more expensive expander or if I could get by with a cheaper one. Any info/ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for any info.
Instant Text is the only expander that can compile glossaries
from previously saved reports and automatically create your short forms so you don't have to memorize anything. Have you been to their site to see the overview of how the program works?
ABCZ expander shortcuts for Instant Text
I am in search of abcz Expander shortcuts already made into a list or glossary for Instant Text or Smartype. Does anyone know where to find them?

Can you use the Word autocorrects or only Smartype? What about the Word auto text? tia nm

Bayscribe expander entries/Instant Text question ...
Has anyone here had success in converting their Bayscribe Expander entries to Instant Text? If so, how did you go about it.
Thanks in advance.
Yes you can use Instant Text. Turn off DQS expander. Tech support can tell you how.
Call Instant Text and find out how to do this.
Word has its own excellent word expander in Autocorrect.
It reminds me of the old PRD

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.
It is Word. ExText is the word expander
:)
Oh, you MUST have a word expander
You could probably DOUBLE what you are typing now. I'm not sure about figures, but probably close to double anyway. There are probably others on this board who could tell you better than I, but you MUST get one!! I can't believe you are still typing without one. I use Shorthand. You can try it for free.
Word Expander
I have the same problem too. I used to have SmartType and it was SO easy to use. I have to use MS Word and to get a SmartType for MS Word costs $195.00. Plus like you, I am having a terrible time getting things to back up like you describe. PLEASE let me know if you get any good answers. With SmartType, there were already a bunch of shortcuts in the program. With the one I'm using now, I'm having to start from scratch. Do you realize how long it's going to take me to get anywhere near what I had loaded with SmartType? MONTHS, IF EVER. Again, let me know what you find out. I detest this program as all I can think about is how good I had it before.
word expander, please help!
I am going to be working just in microsoft word. How do I get a word exapander? What is a good one? Are there any free word expanders? Thanks
Word Expander
Can anyone tell me of a good word Expander to work with MS Word. I have SmarType, and the tech guy even tried to add it today, a trial version for MS Word, but it wouldn't work because of the "dictation platform" our company uses. He said the only Word Expander he knows of that works for our company is Shorthand. Can someone please tell me if they have Shorthand, if they like it and why they like it? I'm going crazy with the one I have is it is EMPTY. There is NOTHING preloaded into it. You have to start from scratch, so I will NEVER get one built up enough to make decent lines. I REALLY need an answer FAST. I am SO frustrated right now, I want to quit as it takes me forever to type a report as I have to stop and create a shortcut for a word in practically every sentence I type. It is IDIOTIC to offer a word expander that has NOTHING loaded into it. I have no terms to refer to, NOTHING. PLEASE ANSWER ASAP!!
WORD EXPANDER
You can STILL make it do what you want to do. You just don't have to go through the initial time and work of setting it up.
Besides an Expander is always correct. You don't have to stop and look up spelling. I don't understand what you mean by "your way" as you can take any expander and still make it "your way."?
What word expander do you use?
TIA
Can you add these to your word expander?

word expander
I use PCShorthand.com and I really like it; not only is the price $89.00 it has everything you will ever want and need for a word expander. It works with MS Word also.
expander, but not MS Word
Howdy. When I was typing neurological transcription, I disliked MS Word type programs because of the spell checking/grammar checking. I basically had to turn off almost the entire grammar checking, and a lot of it still wasted my time. So I made MT Keys. I designed it specifically for transcription (while I was typing the neurological transcription), and it has ShortHand expansion as one of its features. It also has one-key features that send things to Google with only hitting one key. You might want to check it out.

I am wondering if anyone else has ever had a problem with Instant Text unlinking itself to whatever word processor program you are running. I use Wordperfect and Word. Sometimes, when I have to back space to erase text, or block portions of text to delete, etc., Instant Text just unlinks itself, or so it seems, but when I go back in to re-link it, my word processor is already highlighted, so it appears as if it's still linked, but it's not working. Also, when I type some letters to expand a phrase, after I've typed those letters it will just erase the last letter. It's really, really strange. I've called their customer service and they tell me Instant Text can't automatically unlink itself, that I have to be doing it. But I tell you I'm NOT unlinking it. If anybody else has had a problem such as this and knows a quick fix, please do share it with me. Thanks!
