SpeedType and Shorthand are the exact same program. Shorthand is lots cheaper and also has a trial.

you can import your autocorrect into Shorthand.

You can use Shorthand in ANY program, it works outside your program
I have never found a platform it did not work with and I have worked on several different versions of Meditech. Just start using it.
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.
ExText does have its own program.
To add entries, hit Ctrl twice and it will pop open. But I know you can also use ShortHand with it.
I think ExText is great.
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've never used this particular program but with ExText it usually meant there were not jobs... :

Question for mini-laptop users. Are you able to use Dictaphone Extext program
on one of these. I noticed a lot of them do have Windows XP Home Edition but only like Microsoft Works for the word processing. I guess my question is are you able to down Dictaphone or does it have to have a Word processin program in order to download it.
It is in the Shorthand program.
Open ShortHand and click on help.
It's a really good program. I use Shorthand with it.
Instant Text also works
Shorthand program with Citrex
I believe that Instant Text will work and it is an awesome program! I have been using it for about 7 years, really helps production and more.
Shorthand program question
I am using the trial version of the ShortHand program from pcshorthand.com. I have some long entries in there and it seems to take forever for it to go into my report. I sit and watch each sentence come onto the screen. Is there a better shorthand program? Where it just instantly pastes the entire text "BAM" instantly without having to stop and wait?
Also, maybe it just does it like this because it is a trial version????
Thanks!!!
shorthand program/bayscribe
I am having problems with this too. Did anyone resolve this? I turned of teh Bayscribe player, but how do you get ShortHand to start working>
Yep, in Shorthand & SpeedType since they are the same program.

Is Shorthand a "separate" program/not DQS?
It sounds that way, but just checking. Thanks.
You can download Shorthand, choose the "capitalize first letter" option. SH works with ExText

Shorthand works with every program, it works outside the program you use, does not interfere.

Are you using Autotext, too? Macros? Why not get a program like Shorthand for your

Is there a way to copy Shorthand program from one computer
to another when I do not have the disk anymore? Any help appreciated. I recently bought a new computer and am looking to install my ShortHand on that computer.
Shorthand is great short cut program,
I wish you the best.
SpeedType and Shorthand are the exact same program.
SpeedType is just a different brand name and costs a whole lot more.
You cannot import into AutoText. You can copy your spf dictionary into Word and then you'll have to create the AutoText entries one by one.
Save yourself some $$ - Speedtype and Shorthand are the exact same program.

Get a decent word expansion program like PRD or Shorthand sm
autocorrect is very limited. If you want to make money, your really need a good expander.
SpeedType and Shorthand are the exact same program. Smartype only
works in MS Word.
Shorthand and Speedtype are the exact same program, just sold
under different brand names. ShortHand does have a trial version.
I use Shorthand for Windows and love it. I have found it works well with most every program. SM
I have used with Word and Word Perfect. I have used it with Meditech and Cerner. I have used it with RadNet and StarNavigator for Radiology. I can use it with my email applications and on the internet if I choose. If the Expander is open and running, you can use it with any and every window program you use.
I was really simple to learn to use too. Very user friendly.
I have heard of a program for Shorthand that has 90% of all sentences a doctor could use, does anybo

You should not be having that problem, Shorthand works "ouside any program." Contact Shorthan

I was told I would dial directly into the system/Will I need to get dial up internet service?
Works perfectly. Just keep it minimized while you're working. nm

Speedtype is also the exact same program as Shorthand, but Speedtype is a lot more expensive.
SpeedType AND ShortHand both come with a converter file that will import your AutoCorrect entries to either program. You do not have to pay Betsy to do that unless you flat can't figure out how to do it. It's not at all hard to do. Productivity Talk has posts that even tell you how to do it -- for FREE.
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?
{@KEY BkSp}-pack-per-year is for Shorthand. Using the semicolon works with both Shorthand and
;yo = -year-old
;py= -pack-year
etc...
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.
PRD is a DOS program. I don't think it work with Word, a Window's program.

It will count everything if you go in the settings and program it to. Good program!
Sylcount is an awesome and accurate counting program also. That will count everything if you "tell it to".
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.
