I tried flashtype and don't know the price comparison, but this worked for me. I talready has a lot of common stuff in it and I add stuff all the time. Plus I don't have to remember anything.

I like InstantText...is that what you
instantText
I've been studying the manual that comes with IntantText and can't seem to find a way to backup the glossarys to a floppy. If my computer crashes, I would assume that any changes I've made to the glossarys would be gone. I tried just the "save as" and it won't go to a disk. Any suggestions?
I have InstantText too.
I really love it and found it especially helpful for saving the correct spellings of drug names in the word area. I use it with AutoCorrect in a Word based platform and it works great. I like it b/c there I don't have to memorize special shortcuts.
I use InstantText with it and...sm
you can also use your autocorrect with it automatically since it a MS Word-based program. So, you should be good to go. It's a fabulous program, enjoy-!!
InstantText question
I just recently started using InstantText and now have to switch to a different computer. I have studied the manual front to back and can't seem to find where it tells me how to backup what I've created in Instant Text and move it to another computer. I am a new user, so I'm hoping it's easy - just that I don't know the program well enough to understand. Can anyone help me?
Anyone have exp with InstantText & Smartype?
I currently use Smartype and love it. But I just started a new job and they use Instant Text. She said I can use either, but Instant Text is available to me if I want to use it. Are they similar? Has anyone used BOTH and have a preference? I'm just wondering if I should use it or just stick with Smartype?
InstantText allows you to compile sm
all your docs from a doctor and it will make shortcuts for phrases used a certain amount of times.
Shorthand or InstantText SM
Tops in the field. Both excellent. Get one of them today.
My goodness, YES, an Expander makes an enormous difference. Why do you think so many people are saying they can't make a living any more and yet others are making good money? Today's wages are based on a transcription speed literally something like twice what it used to be, and going up.
Using yours extensively IS a new skill you'll have to develop over the next few months, but your income will go up with every paycheck. You're going to love seeing THAT and end up addicted to abbreviating everything in sight.
And, as you do more and more editing, you're also going to love having your expander do all those fussy multi-keystroke corrections you run into again and again with just a couple of taps on your part. I couldn't bear to go back to deleting "q.i.d." and typing in "4 times a day" a million times a day. Yuck!
Best wishes.
InstantText or Shorthand. SM
This is not the place to save a few dollars not getting one of the best programs available. A month from now, you'd give up (insert favorite vice of choice) before you'd give up your expander.
Smartype, much beloved as it (and any expander) is by its users, isn't quite in the same class.
Expanderic may be good but is new and basically untried. It's officially endorsed by this forum, BTW. I'm bothered by the fact that its advertising showcases the term "Shorthand," which could be misleading, though not intentionally, I'm sure...
Best place to buy InstantText?
What is the best website to buy Instant Text from? I have been considering getting it for months. I have been using AutoCorrect in Word this whole time, and I think I'm ready to graduate to Instant Text. It's worth it right? I found a few websites to get it from, and I was wondering which one is the best. I'm nervous that it is worth it as well.
Shorthand and InstantText for sure, SM
but check over at productivitytalk.com to see what they say. High on my list of attributes would be compatibility so that I could take with me just about anywhere. I'm so dependent on mine that I wouldn't consider taking a job at a place that couldn't accommodate Shorthand, or at very least convert my custom ShortHand dictionary into its program; but fortunately, Shorthand's pretty good that way.
I use InstantText and it works just fine.

I read somewhere that InstantText does it, but I haven't tried it. nm

InstantText Version III Pro for sale
If interested please contact me at angela.dill@gmail.com. Also several old Spellex floppy discs. Thanks!
InstantText, hands-down. Doubled my line count.
I tried them all and then bought IT. I have gone from 115 lph to 286 lines per hour (I do ER). I would, literally, be lost without it.
I have an InstantText question about compatibility with Extext Speech
I posted this on the textware forum page, but no answer as of yet.
I am just beginning Extext Speech, and when I am linked to IText, the "magic" strokes, Alt plus period, etc., are formating strokes with IT and do not work as the magic keys.
Is there a way to get around this so I can actually use the magic keystrokes?
Thanks in advance..
