Not on dial-up, but use ExText. I just keep my own Shorthand program open and minimized and use it

Have google open on your desktop but minimize it.
This way you can look it up on a separate window without closing S/C. Also if you forget to minimize it, have an icon of Google (or a medical dictionary site etc.) on the outer perimeter of your desktop so that you can click it with the Bayscribe doc screen up. You should be able to open the medical word site while spell check is open. This always works for me. Good luck! Hope this helps.
Why would you? I just open my SH first and use it minimized with ExText. Don't even use

Open Shorthand
Highlight the entry you'd like to get rid of, then hit the little trashcan icon in Shorthand to get rid of it.
Open your shorthand and the dictionary you want to print.
File menu, Print to File, save dictionary as text file. Open the text file in either Notepad or Word, then print. I always format mine into columns so as to not waste paper.
Shorthand to ExText
Is there a way to copy Shorthand to ExText?
TIA
Can Shorthand be used with EXText?
Hospital is switching over to EXText next month and I'm worried! Without my ShortHand I might as well go work at McDonalds!
I use shorthand and not ExText and...
I get the same problem. You don't even have to close shorthand. You just have to use an abbreviation and let it spell it out in all caps, go back and delete that word, and then you should be able to start typing regular again. Must be a glitch in ShortHand program...
Open shorthand and look in Demo-2 for today's date./ SM
You can look in the help file and it will tell you how to make an entry for yesterday's date.
Problem with Shorthand in ExText... help!
For some reason I have just recently starting having an issue where my caps are locking while working in ExText, and I was able to isolate it to Shorthand. (When it happens if I bring ShortHand up and then hide it again, the problem clears). It doesn't happen outside of ExText. What is strange is that the first few weeks I was working in ExText it wasn't a problem, but now it is happening with increasing frequency. And toggling caps lock and shift won't clear it, I have to bring up SH to clear it.
Anyone else run into this problem, or maybe just have a thought on why this would be happening? TIA!
Shorthand is far superior to that expander for extext

Use ExText for 1 job. Love it! Works with my ShortHand. Wish they all used it! nm

I use ShortHand with my ExText. Works great! nm

You can download Shorthand, choose the "capitalize first letter" option. SH works with ExText

i'd minimize the 'where the industry
is headed. I'd start with what 'transcription' means, the various ways it is done, technology, talents needed and challenges (spelling, grammar, anatomy, medical interest, typing, investigative skills, persistence through trials, accents, rules/regulations etc), recommended education, how to find schools/information, ways you can perform the job (in office, in hospital, at home incl. mobility with laptops), how our work relates to patient care...i could go on and on. Tailor your talk to basics and what the school is trying to do for the students as well as future courses they might offer. I'd also include some work-related humor. Good luck!!
It won't minimize so you can see Word in one and QLDB in another, and won't cut and paste. SM
There's nothing "wrong" with my CD, it's just that this edition (2007) doesn't have some of the functions of earlier versions. It's not something you would find out unless you bought it and installed it. If you don't care about those functions, go ahead and spend your money. But for just the wild card or fuzzy search function there are other places on the web, that do not charge, and where you can minimize and cut and paste.
This was discussed on a couple of other MT boards, with the same conclusion and disappointment as above.
You decide.

can't minimize InScribe or see images in e-mail
Just like that while ago..I can't minimize InScribe. I can my other screens, just not IS. I can shrink it down with the mouse, but not the - (minus) button. Any idea what happened? Also, anyone know how I can view images sent it an e-mail. I just have a box with an X in the corner. I Googled it and tried what it said, still won't work, but it's also the same e-mail first sent, so maybe it won't work on those. I can't remember changing any settings, but did do updates. Anyone else have this problem...and fix it? Thanks.
Or: in the right upper corner you have the minimize, the restore/maximize and the close button. Cl

You can't just open the attachment. You need to save it to a file and then open SM
your wave player and load it.
How do I get it ST to open when escription is open?
SpeedType and Shorthand are the exact same program. Shorthand is lots cheaper and also has a trial.
.
{@KEY BkSp}-pack-per-year is for Shorthand. Using the semicolon works with both Shorthand and
;yo = -year-old
;py= -pack-year
etc...
Shorthand and SpeedType are exact same program. Shorthand will cost you lots less.
you can import your autocorrect into Shorthand.
It IS ExText, Word is simply the word proccessor used. ExText is marketed
by Dictaphone with Transnet and ESP is the expansion software incorporated into it. I used this platform when I worked for the hospital. I believe Wordclient is the speech recognition portion of this platform.
I took shorthand too. But it sure comes in helpful for my expanders. I view words in shorthand for
i did use shorthand once in a job but i was so nervous the "boss" took pity and dictated the report on dictaphone.
If it is Shorthand, save the SPF file to a disk, then if you buy Shorthand yourself....
you can just drop the SPF file into it. That is not dishonest since you are the one who put the macros in. I am sure is it is another Expander there is a way to save the macro file and then drop it in the expander you buy on your own.
Going to keep this in the open
For anyone who did not read the previous.
I Already Open it
Please Tell Me How I can Remove it
Okay, this should be open to all MT's...sm
Thanks for bring me up short. This question should be open to all MT's, especially those working for other companies. Tell me what you like as well as what you dislike. If this comes about I want to try to fulfill those dreams and requirements as well as make a profit. I'm not greedy - I believe it sharing the wealth. Again, I want to get and RETAIN great employees!
Open
Express Scribe and click on Settings. Click on Files, and un-select the work file types you want the other program to open.
Or, open the program you want to use, find the equivalent settings in it, and then make sure the file types ARE selected.
This is what I was saying....the box does not always open.
My question is how do I manually open this box when it does not show up in the background or anywhere else. Thanks
Why do you want to open this?
If you don't know what this is, you probably don't need to be messing around with it, especially if you are being taken to a website that wants money to fix it for you.
If nothing was wrong with your computer before, you probably have no reason to need this. You didn't say how you ran into this, but in the event it is a scam, why don't you leave it alone.
AN OPEN NOTE TO MTS
1-Do not wonder WHY work is being sent overseas when in screening applications 20 of 25 resumes are full of errors, typos and people applying that do not come NEAR to fitting the job requirements.
2-Do not wonder WHY work is being sent overseas when you are hired to work hours YOU REQUESTED and then you do not even bother to start work, call, email, just nothing.
3-Do not wonder WHY work is being sent overseas when you are tested and screened only to find out that several "friends of friends" circulated the test around and while you do wonderfully on the test, now in the real situation, you can not figure out the difference between discrete and discreet.
4-Do not wonder WHY you were given less and less work, but take a look at the quality of work you produced...full of blanks, not formatted to specifications in the manual sent, skipped reports. When Q*A has to redo 90% of your work, it is easier to quietly phase you out than to continue to "train" a supposedly seasoned MT
5-Do not wonder WHY you were taken off an account, but look at the feedback you were given regarding the continued mistakes with spelling (you do not use the spellcheck as too time consuming - your words), continued mistakes with doctors signatures, names, formats, phrases. Your position is to "pound out lines" and not worry about the quality.
6-Do not wonder WHY no one will hire you...after all, MTSOs communicate with each other too and the same names just seem to cycle through
7-Do not wonder WHY companies look overseas for workers...because at least THEY want to work. They are not taking days off at a time with no notice...leaving a company and client in the lurch.
8-Do not wonder WHY your resume was not answered...you applied before, were tested before and never bothered to answer emails regarding hiring...never bothered to start on your start date...resumes are kept and note made of why someone that seemed very qualified was not hired.
9-Do not wonder WHY you were not hired...remember me? I am the one that tested you, screened you, then talked to you for quite some time on the phone interviewing you. Remember me? I am the one you "sold" yourself to as far as being ethical, good worker, etc., only to find out that you received the hiring package, then contacted the client directly and suddenly, you did not want the job and then I see you are working FOR THEM....
10-Do not wonder WHY you were not hired after taking the test...take a look at the test results and the responses back you made like "that is how I have always done it" and I do not think you are correct because that is not how I was told or trained to do it.
11-Do not wonder WHY you were quietly let go...check your invoices and the inflated lines and/or hours on there? The system SHOWS the reports you ran, lines you did, but you continue to add report numbers not done by you and lines not done by you. AND for bonus hours...you continue to add bonuses that were not earned.
12-Do not wonder WHY I cringe when it comes time to hire again..I cringe because of every MT out there that shows NO RESPECT to a potential employer now or down the road by ignoring remails.....receiving a test, but never taking it...getting a test graded and offered position but never responds back....going through entire hiring process with access codes, start dates and times but then NEVER even starts...or the ones that we PAY a computer guy to get set up and they never start working...or we send software and equipment to and then never get it back or have a legal fight to get it back.
There are two sides to ever story, this I know, but as an MTSO the above are simply a FEW of the hundreds of things experienced in trying to hire just ONE good MT....
How do you open up that .lex file to....sm
copy/paste it into MS Word? When I try opening it, it asks what format do I want and every option I've tried hasn't worked.
open your pea brain :)
he comes from the ghetto, his family still lives in the ghetto, he's trying to help kids in the ghetto......and you want him in a TIE, TUX, and TAILS? He is dancing for a charity. That's all he's there for. To get $$ toward his charity of helping kids in and around the ghetto.
Perhaps you want him to dress like the late Fred Astaire?
Get real.................
It certainly is a thorn! Don't open any of it, though.
That's why I got concerned, and still concerned even with this SpamBayes, as there could be a virus in some of it. Also, hackers may be trying to get into your stuff, maybe all they need is for you/ me to click on it and to get information, don't know all of it, but I won't open any of their stupid email.
We did our last one over an open pit for hours...
and it was sooo yummy. It was so tender.
Unscrew it, open it up, and sm
splice it with scotch tape. You won't loose much of the sound on it.
Open mind
With all due respect for your opinion, people from all extremes of thought, are what make this country great. As Americans, we should question everything our leaders do. For too long, politicians have tried to conceal information, or conceal an agenda from the American public. The public is growing up as a whole, and it is becoming wise to the manipulation by government, and those in charge of great power. There is great danger in this, and we should not become a complacent society. We should not be expected to accept explanations so easily, and create a society where we are not allowed to explore issues. Michael Moore is every bit as American as you or I. Many people do not like the policies by our government. Many people will speak out against those policies and protest. That does not make one anti-American. It is because many of us, including Michael Moore, who I may not necessarily agree with, have strong feelings about being an American that we protest what we feel goes against our definition of what America is about - freedom, justice, and the pursuit of happiness. This is the problem today, which I find disturbing - many people pledge unquestionable loyalty to our leaders who have too much power and abuse it, and then there are those of us who feel devotion and passion for America's ideals and constitution, and protest any sense of suppression from government. Remember our founding fathers, and what many suffered and sacrificed. They rebelled against government that was too harsh and unfair, and fought to uphold their freedom. This is what America is all about.
You don't have to open a post to see how many
have viewed it. It is right beside the date showing at the end of the subject line of each post.
I have no idea what post you are talking about though.
I am open to all suggestions.
I have not removed it from the system but my boss should be in touch with me on Monday. They installed and I will pass that by them. BTW, have you had to removed and then reinstall- have you had any problems? I have XP with 1.5 gig and the other - not sure but had installed what computer person there at company suggested and still horrifice problems.
You have to open it and read it.
It's a hidden prize...
do u HAVE to open it - it has adware! - sm
WARNING: WinZix is advertised as a compression tool however it appears from analysis of the files produced that it simply adds information to a file so that WinZix needs to be installed to access it. The program contains an adware component that must be installed with the program and the EULA for that component says you cannot use anti-adware software against it. In addition, use of such software may damage the component and make it difficult to remove. FILExt has removed links to this software and advises that you install it AT YOUR OWN RISK. If you receive a "compressed" ZIX file you are advised to warn the sender and ask them to resend the file in a more conventional format (e.g., ZIP). .....
Open Message for ALL MTs - sm
Happy Medical Transciptionist Week to each and eveyone of you. Your dedication to your profession is, in my opinion, admirable. I wish I could do what you do. The knowledge you carry with you each day, the amount of patience and attention to every detail is beyond belief. I cannot imagine getting up out of bed every day and doing what you do each and every time you sit before your PC. I am a mere radiology/Diagnostic Imaging MT. They tried to cross-train me for discharge summaries, clinic notes, psychiatric notes, etc....and I almost went out of my mind. I have nothing but the utmost respect for you all and for all you do and know how to do. I just wanted to say this to you during MT week, and wish you all the best. My hat is truly off to all of you. You all deserve to take a bow!!
Sincerely.....
re open message
Thank you so much. After having a very frustrating day with my acute care job, it is so nice to hear that. Please don't discount yourself. I also started in radiology. I then went to a medical group and three years later went to acute care. It has been three years since starting acute care. I thought I would never get it, but I worked hard and am hanging in there doing a more than fair job.
just like people who don't NM at the end to let you know no need to open! NM

i cannot open ANY post -- just me??

Open office
I am saying the same thing as I need to set up my laptop. Someone told me that Open Office is compatible with Microsoft Word products - can switch documents between the programs. I have gotten as far as installing it, but have not figured out anything further as of yet. If you check this out and find it works for you - tell me how you did it!! It has everything in it like Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and Database - so hopefully it will work out to save us all some money - it is a free program.
when I open your post
Who is that guy - your husband? Cute.
Open ES first, then drag them into box. nm

I use ChartScript, but I open
Word separately. Does your version open Word for you? When I worked in house on CS we had OLD versions of CS, I think it all opened together and we had no Expander - just the Autotext.
Sorry I don't know about the older versions, maybe someone more "techy" than me can answer. Do you have tech support you could call or maybe visit the CS website & ask?
