No, but Autocorrect is subject to crash and you can lose everything. You need a real expander. NM

Can't compare autocorrect to an expander (sm)....
After 20 years as MT I found a word expander, and still mad that I went so long without one! I would not consider being without one today, it adds so much to my productivity. And an Expander does much more than autocorrect does, so I personally don't think they are even comparable. For example, you can make entries bold or italicized; you have no limit on how much text you put into each entry; and most importantly, your possible choices show up on the screen as you type letters, so you can be very specific in your use. Autocorrect does just that, it makes an automatic correction, and so quickly that you might not even realize something was changed/expanded. Expanders are not cheap, but to me they are as essential as a medical dictionary!
Perhaps you listed it that way in your autocorrect or other expander program
QuickCorrect doesn't give you as much as a real expander does
Stand up and what get fired. Lose benefits and lose my house. Can't risk it.
I wish I could. That is why this business is as bad as it is. We can't afford to not work, so we settle for whatever gets thrown at us.
Word has its own excellent word expander in Autocorrect.
It reminds me of the old PRD
ha ha ha crash and burn
if and I repeat if you are doing that much you will
crash and burn. you either pace yourself in MTing
or you leave pretty quick.
but unless you are doing only OPs or only ERs i
honestly doubt you are doing quality work of acute care
with all the crap that comes with the docs not being able to
enter right numbers, say right names, say decent drug doses
or even say the drugs correctly. nope doing all the leg work
necessary to do most acute care, you won't do 2800 lines in a
decent number of hours a day to have a life.
if you wait til a crash,
i guess you would have a 'vacation' while you shop and wait for your new setup.
Oh, to be young again -Mondays all I want to do is crash.
Thank you. Wow, you have a lot of entries! I was afraid it would crash with my
10 to 12,000. Thank you for your response. I'm trying to tinker with the ESPs and wondering if there is a way to insert a hard space in an expansion. (Such as between Dr. and his last name so there is no separation to another line when I expand. Any idea how this could be done? Thanks again for your time. I do appreciate your help.
oops, should have been "neurotransmitter crash" :) nm

crash was decent, the Notebook is good
they dont make them like they used to tho !
This only helps if you crash, not if you delete a file.

Cook it real slow at real low heat; simmer, don't boil.

Crash, The Chronicles of Narnia, War of the Worlds, Derailed, A History of Violence,
Brokeback Mountain, and Dreamer. All of them were good, although I think Brokeback Mountain would be on the bottom of the list for me. Crash and The Chronicles of Narnia were very good in my opinion.
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.
You lose out if you don't get
paid for spaces.
Before you lose it....
Call her up and politely ask her where she got the number of your HUSBAND and then ask her if she knows the other person is married. He really may have been snockered and not even remember giving it.
Lose him
Yeah - - don't think I haven't thought about leaving the situation
whatever you do don't lose that job! sm
There aren't many jobs like that anymore! Good for you.
Can I ask what state you live in? Just curious.
It's so hard to lose a pet
I'm sorry for your loss. My own old girl Tildy died on April 21 and I miss her so much. Last week, I finally adopted another dog, and we are going to be great friends I know, but I still miss Tildy. I probably would have put off adopting a new dog longer, but a friend of mine sent me a *comic strip* called "Shelter Stories" - it shows this dog lying there with his eyes closed thinking "I'm afraid to open my eyes. I'm afraid yesterday was ALL a dream and I'll wake up and still be in the shelter. "Sigh, okay, I've got to open them. Here goes...one, two, three! it's a picture of this dog lying there on a nice soft bed and when he opens his eyes, there's a person there too, just smiling at him.
Sometimes we're all each other has. I hope your heart feels better soon.
I don't need to lose weight, but I definitely need to

You could probably lose 10 lb. just from exercise. SM
Go to www.collage.com. There are hundreds of good exercise videos.
I could not get into t pep rally thing of WW.
You won't lose anything with the upgrade.

You won't necessarily lose your job,
but you will get the absolute worst dictators and dictation possible. All the good stuff goes offshore and we get what's left. And make sure the account you're offered pays for headers and footers to make up for them not paying for spaces. No all accounts pay for headers and footers, and that really makes a difference.
Lose 5 lbs. I saw the doc last week and
gained 10 this year and was already overweight, so I'll start this week by losing at least 5 lbs.
But don't you also lose money when...
you are paid by the line, and you are sitting there waiting for Mr. hem & haw to start talking again? When you are paid by the dictation minute, you are paid for the length of the sound file, whether the ditator is talking or turning pages or hemming & hawing. I had a few times when I had a 20-minute sound file, which I was paid for, even though there was only 5 minutes of dictation on it!
Also, you know EXACTLY how much money you will make on the report before you even start typing it, regardless of what type of dictator it is.
How to lose an MTSO
 Just curious here . . . how to you deal with a MTSO who, for all accounts, seems like they are stalking you for hire. I checked out the company, realized I was lied to about a number of issues I specifically asked about up front and disliked the platform tremendously. I gave it a few days – determined it was not for me because I could not be productive and I informed the recruiter that I was no longer interested in working for the company. Since that time, I have been contacted no less than 3 times. I cessated my contact after the verbal communication only to be hounded with E-mails and packages via snail mail. The owner of this company is really starting to scare me. Personally, instead of running a business, in my opinion, should be running to the psych ward – and quickly I might add. I have not communicated since I made my final decision – I’m almost afraid to. What would you all suggest? I really just want this person to leave me alone. This particular MTSO is one that seems like the “no” answer is just not even an option. I have no interest in working for someone with this type of personality and I have no interest in running my business in the red because of a poor platform. Help please. Can you report someone for stalking if they are in a different state? I cannot change my E-mail address as I do have my own business contacts to think of.
So in other words, pay will be cut, and WE lose. - sm
If the MTSO is bringing in more lines per hour with this system, (and you just KNOW they aren't going to slash their prices to the hospitals!), why cut the MTs pay per line? The MT (who actually PRODUCES the work, after all) should be sharing in some of the rewards of increased productivity, rather than being SHAFTED.
what features do you lose?
I think it's the program I want but what would I lose? TIA
Call them! What do you have to lose?
I applied to a company I really wanted to work for, waited a week, sent an email, waited a day, called, and was called back an hour later and hired. The squeaky wheel etc etc. Good luck to you!!
firm 15 cpl --you will lose it
Sorry but at 15 you will lose it. Once you get used to the dictators you will easily make $35 to $45 per hour even counting in the delivery time. Define your line as gross lines with 1" margins and if they want smaller ones, then you revert back and do your line count that way. If you want to cover yourself, tell them that at 12 cpl you want it written up in the contract that should they cancel at anytime -- unless it is due to gross errors, incorrect billing (cheating them), not keeping TAT, etc. that they will pay your average paycheck for the term of the contract. Again look at what you can make per hour not what the cpl is. If you come across too high, they will advertise and get someone for the 12 easily. Good luck. Get it all spelled out ini black and white. Also go back at 12.5 -- again good luck
Which is why this country will lose its

And quick way to lose your job.
I work for 2 companies and cherrypicking is the quickest way to get taken off the accounts. It is absolutely not tolerated at either place. I would not ever work for a company that allowed cherrypicking.
If you have as much as you say you need to ultimately lose,
have you considered gastric bypass or Lap-Band?
ironic.... it's lose

While we are on subject, how about 1 and 1/4 cm. Is it 1.025?
dd
off the subject a bit, but sm
if you are now on DQS, did you get paid for that training that took over TWO HOURS of my working time??? I didn't! And my TC said we weren't gonna get paid for it, either!!! That really P'd me off!!! 
I am not sure why, but this subject always (sm)
seems to get a debate going. I posted below about homeschooling and wishing I had been homeschooled. I honestly think everyone should at least try it if at all able. It is a great experience!!
CAN WE PLEASE GET OFF THIS SUBJECT.
Ultimately it is the choice of the girl who made the choice to have sex. For crying out loud, either way she will have to pay for her mistakes. Enough already.
I'm no pro on this subject, but I'm not sure there is
a way to convert it to anything smaller than the MP3 from wav. Are you using an FTP or sending through email? My docs are uploading 90 minute DSS files to an FTP and it only takes a few seconds. The 90 minute file is close to 8 MB, I believe. If you're using email, you might try an FTP server.
Okay, can we all get off this subject
and let it rest for the night? it has been an unconstructive day for everybody on this particular post, except maybe for the ones that learned not to feed the trolls. goodnight everybody. give it a rest already
Oh no, not this subject again...

Off the subject but
is she bringing paper medical records to a swim practice? Seems to me paper and water don't mix very well!
Yes, you have to the put the subject
spot like I just did. You have to do that each time. Usually you e-addy stays in the e-mail box though. Happy posting! 
and the subject is?
Let us all know what you're tired of and maybe we'll join you...
Monday - I will lose an account
I just did the stupidest thing. I could cry but it would not help. I will lose this account due to my carelesness and not thinking. I accidentally just erased two "undone" tapes and kept two "finished" tapes. So on Monday I have to tell the doctor and if I were them I would fire me. They have been my account for 4 years but have been patient with me at times through some personal problems -- yucky divorce -- and I do a good job at a very reasonable rate but I would not blame them if they fired me. I just want to take myself out and beat myself silly. But there is nothing I can do right now and so oneward and upward -- I guess. But this will hurt as it is my largest account and I am a small MTSO so I will be out pounding the pavement for something.
Thanks for listening.
They are both excellent and I would hate to see either lose.
Kind of leaning towards tattoo boy though.
Did you lose the weight after coming off?
I'm gonna check into the things you mentioned and go by my local health food store. Before I went on the HRT, I did try the OTC stuff which seemed to work for a little while, but after a few months started having the hot flashes again. I did purchase some progesterone cream a few years ago while I was still having periods (after watching a segment of Oprah), but never used it right, then went on the HRT. I really do want to get off of it and get my weight down. Did you have trouble getting weight back down after coming off?
Thanks again for all your advise! You're great!
