I've never tried either version

I just thought someone might find it helpful, perhaps someone who can't afford a more expensive version.

Works is a dumbed down version of Word and Excel. You get the full version of Word in the Suite.
The Works Suite is a cheaper way of getting a full version of Word if you don't want or need the other applications in Office.
If it's a retail version you can. If it's an OEM version, you can't.

I use EXText with my current job and I've used at a couple of other jobs I've had. I've ne
used DocQscribe, but I have used Meditech, Cerner, Vianeta, the Precyse platform (I can't remember the name), Dolbey, and Lanier platform I think was called Cequence (?).
Out of all the different platforms I have typed on, I have liked EXText the best. In my opinion, it's very user friendly, easy to learn, and I really like ESP which is the built in abbreviation expander. Plus it is very easy to create your own normals which I love. My fingers literally never leave the keyboard because there are macro keys for everything. You can use your mouse if you prefer or learn the function macros. I love it. I think I'm more productive on EXText than with any other platform.
Spell as best you can or blank them and keep going. I've passed many tests when I've left blan

As you can already see, you've come to the wrong board! By using the word professional, you've
excluded about 99% of the population of "whatever" it is that hangs on these boards. Certainly not professional for sure! But you sure are doing a good thing for someone! Its the thought that counts. Sorry you met the dregs right at the start.
HELP! I've turned my screen sideways, I can't straighten it up. I know I've seen sm

If you're supposed to be paid a certain $/line, that's what you should be getting no matter how they do billing unless of course it's specified in YOUR contract with THEM.

I've used it. It's the worst piece of crap I've ever seen.
seriously. I wouldn't wish them on my worst enemy, or their Vianeta program. Awful, just awful.
Wait until you've been there six months and if you've improved

I've seen the same every place I've done acute care, and
pointing out dangerous or repeated errors (often in normals for goodness sakes!) never got the result I expected. When I would press the issue, supervisors said if the dictators didn't complain, then the mistakes must not matter!
It didn't matter if the MT changed what had been a cardiac med in the beginning of the report to an antifungal by the end - I kid you NOT! One poor girl used facial for fascial and fascial for facial!

One thing I do to get around this, is to create a macro and then link the ShortHand command to the macro. It works for me, but I do the same five clients every day and only have about 20 or 30 macros/Shorthand commands that work like this. This may not work well for you if you have lots of formats and hundreds of docs.

I can tell what's a stutter, what's another word, what's just an "uh." Years of experience will get you through a lot.
Wouldn't want to do his charts all day, of course, but a few per day aren't bad. I haven't had to send his to review in a long time, but they do take a little longer to shuffle through.
I've worn contacts for 30 years. I've had both

When I first started trying contacts soft ones were still new and they couldn't get me to 20/20, so I went to hard. Hard were okay until my eyes started changing shape and then I could no longer wear hard ones. The soft should give you better vision as they conform more to the shape of your eye.
What version of IT are you using?
And what application are you using IT with?
You may want to email IT tech support directly.
Kind regards,
Kristen
What version of IT are you using?
What version of Instant Text V Pro are you using? Do you have your linking options established?
To find out what version you are using, double-click on the blue title-bar in Instant Text and then go to Help and About Instant Text. There you will see the exact version and built date that you are using. If you are using Instant Text V Pro but do not have a built date of October 2005, I would suggest downloading the latest revision from our website so you are using the most up-to-date version.
If you are using a previous version of IT, such as IT 3.0 or IT 3.5, I would recommend upgrading to version V Pro.
Also, please leave a message when you call so we can help you. If you do not get a tech on the phone, it is because we are on the other line helping other IT users. You can always email us directly if you need help as well. 
Kind regards,
Kristen
Maybe my version is too old
My Stedmans Spellchecker the is 2004 so maybe it is too old. I sent an email to Stedman support and they sent one back stating that they do not guarantee that their programs will work with Vista. My electronic Stedman dictionary works though. Thanks for your help
What version?

Version 4.16
I agree. I also have the newer version (4.16) and it plays dss files just fine for me, too.
the version of CS I use does NOT
use my version of Word. It is it's own separate platform and my autocorrect entries do not work in it. I will either use ShortHand or just copy and paste into my Word.
try this version
There was a similar discussion Friday, and someone provided a link to an older version of ES. I think this link takes you to that message.
http://forum.mtstars.com/main/v/1/98415.html
Maybe on your version
But on mine, which is Microsoft Word 2002, it is squares, not circles.
Well, gosh... I guess everyone might not have the same thing!
same version
I have the same version.
thanks for the information...We just started using this a few months ago, but it just seems like there is no communication anymore with this job other than what work is avaialble and the mistakes you make...but I'm just going to start asking more questions. My supervisor told me we are absolutely not allowed to type in Word...I tried it with one account that they said I could, and then she said to stop because it was messing things up. So, I don't know what's up with that.
Have a good night...and thanks again!
which version? sm
we had Meditech magic and used Instant Text abbreviation expander. How about canned text? I had a lot of full routines in canned text that really helped.
Version 3
version 3. Thanks for your help. I type directly into Meditech.
what version?
We were on 4.6 and you entered R and the date and then hit look up, the best I can remember. but we were inhouse and could also go under drafts or signed under order entry if we could not remember the name. Circumstances were probably different for us.
yes, not sure what version you are but sm
Under Tools click on customize, then click on keyboard. Then choose Format under the category window, then in the command window, find Format Bullets and Numbering. Now choose your keyboard command (like CTL X)and make sure you are not already using that for something important! Then put your new command in the press new shortcut key window, then click assign. Hope this helps!
I believe I am using version 7.0.
I know when I started on ASR, I had to call Dictaphone and have them download an upgrade or patch to my current program.
Version 7.5
We have 7.5, and I am fortunate that the function works; alt , changes the case of the next letter to a small letter. Wishing there were a blog board or somewhat to share experiences. I feel lost out here with this system in trying to boost productivity.
Which version of Word are you using?
If you are using Word 2003, I HIGHLY recommend you disable autocorrect and anything that would automatically insert anything based on an expansion system within Word. There is a known problem (on MS-Word's end) that these 2 programs compete for expansions and Word can lock up, causing you to lose up to your entire report. I've been in touch with several people trying to resolve this issue but it is on Microsoft's end, not Smartype. Any prior version of MS-Word does not have this issue. Just be sure you don't have the same expansions set up for both Word and Smartype. I loved my ST with Word 2000. I'm on a platform where I can no longer use ST but I am slowly importing all my entries into a different expansion program.

Why XP-Professional version?
Just wondering why companies require us to have XP-Pro now instead of home edition?
I use primoPDF version 2.0 (sm)
There's a new 3.0 version out, but I haven't tried that one. Here's a link to the old PrimoPDF 2.0 version, if you are interested. Both versions are free.

Smartype - this is the old version, not the one - sm
that works with MSWord or regular Word Perfect. It is hard to come by, got mine on ebay years ago, love it though. Took me forever to get it to work with XP but I figured it out and it is a lifesaver.
MS Word version
What version of MS Word are you using and do you have it and Windows (not VISTA--extext not compatible with Vista) upgraded? This should have been checked when tech support did original install for you but maybe they didn't check. Make sure your operating system has all upgrades it should and that MS Word has all the upgrades it should, too, then reboot, make sure nothing opens up or is open after you reboot. Then go to Windows Explorer, C drive, then docnet (these are your ExText Word Client folders). You are going to do a clean install, so delete the following folders and no others: Dump, offlinedoc, recovery, templates, transnet, workinggroup. If you delete the entire docnet folder you will delete all of extext and will NOT be able to reinstall, so only the folders above should be deleted. Reboot again. You also want to make sure you don't have any old temp files sitting on your hard drive; these can affect how your programs run. You can check this by doing a search on your C drive (assuming drive is C), for *.tmp. Make sure again that nothing is opened and delete those files. I would do this after deleting the above folders but before reinstalling Extext. Make sure nothing opens up again or is opened, and reinstall Extext again. This should clear things up for you, and if that doesn't work, I would definitely contact tech support. Extext is not supposed to work right if you open up Word first. Extext should be opening Word for you, sometimes you can get a runtime error if you exit from the VPN before extext has disconnected.
Even though you exit from Extext, and you should never exit using the X in the corner, it takes a few seconds for the last file to upload, so it is better to exit from extext, leave the vpn connected, check email or do somthing else and then disconnect the vpn. Also, if you were doing a control S to look at a document and left that document open, then control N'd your working document, and then tried to start a new document when the screen pops up, you will get a runtime error.
Not in my version of Word...?
I do not find "speller type" option/window where you are saying it should be - ?! BTW, I have uninstalled Word Pro and gone back to plain old Word 2003.
Since it is a trial version...
They may only allow you to play their pre-loaded files and not add your own. Why not try the Express Scribe player--it really is free. Link below.
Paper version
I don't like having all that "stuck" on one PC just in case they crash. Good luck!
I like the 2005 version, old I know, (sm)
but I didn't like the fact that you couldn't get it on the toolbar and it did not seem as user friendly as 2005.
I have the printed version, and it's not very useful. (n/m)

I used the standard version for a while and it sucked. The preferred version however has been just fine. Bought mine on ebay.
