Shorthand does not work well with Emdat.
Need to find an Expander that will expand properly in any platform being that the right working situation for me is so hard to find.
Any suggestions?
TIA
Does PC ShortHand work on Emdat or Word Client?
And if so how do I get it to work when using these platforms?
ChartScript and Shorthand..
Can anyone tell me if ShortHand Expander works in ChartScript and if so, how do you go about doing it? Thanks for the help.
Shorthand and CS.NET (Chartscript)
I just started working for a company that uses Chartscript (web-based)and, even after upgrading to version 10 of Shorthand, it just is too unreliable to work. Are there settings I could try (as far as pause in msec etc.) I had heard that another MT at this company was able to get this to work fine with the upgraded Shorthand, but I find missed letters in sometimes relatively short expansions and my edited documents come back with words missing which I am fairly certain I did transcribe but were messed up somehow in the expansion with Shorthand. I also have problems with duplicate expansions of some letters (even with the Chartscript Expander toggled off) Is it my Internet that could be causing the problem (I have Clearwire)?
Chartscript/SHorthand question
My company is switching from an offline platform to Chartscript next wednesday. Does anyone here know if ShortHand works with Chartscript? I am aware the Chartscript comes with a built-in expansion program; however, I am shy at the idea of programing all of my shorthand into another program. Not to mention that I just paid to renew my subscription to SH. Perhaps someone has had luck with importing their data from SH to chartscript's EXP.
Thanks in advance for your help.

emdat & shorthand
I've used Emdat & ShortHand together for 4 years. The only problem I have found is that shorthand entries scroll rather than popping into the text, so I use shorthand for short abbreviations and the Emdat Autotext for longer macros such as doctor's normal formats.
Does Emdat work with F keys or is is something else? Is Emdat

Emdat users - is this Word-based and can you use ShortHand with it? sm

I use Chartscript.NET, but here is what I do, and it seems to work...
When you make up your abbreviation or expander, at the bottom of the screen are 2 boxes you can check. One says "has front backspace" and the other one says "use as is." If my abbreviations need to be specific such as your COPD, I check the "use as is" box. I have not had any problems yet.....KNOCK ON WOOD. However, if your words make sense before, then it doesn't work. I always type "to the" as
"tot he." Since all 4 are regular words, the Expander will not use "tot he." Other than that, it works pretty well. Hope this helps.
I work in ChartScript and we are able
to check our lines anytime.
Help please my expander won't work with Chartscript...sm
Oh my gosh!! My Expander doesn't work with Chartscript. I just started this new account today. My Smartype Word Expander does not work. The client recommended Instantext but I downloaded it and it isn't working either. Am I doing something wrong? How do I get it to recognize the word expander. My spellcheck isn't working either. I have Spellmed spellcheck. I am lost without my expander and spellcheck. Any suggestions?
The hospital where I work uses Chartscript.net. I hope this helps. sm
You clerk is wrong. You have to manually add a CC using cont +E, otherwise the doc will not get a copy of the letter or note. When you do Cont +E the option to add a provider comes up. Click on that. Do a search for your doc, click select. You should then see that your original Cont +E screen now has the dictating doc on top and the doc you want CC'd on the bottom. Click OK and you should be good to go. If you have further questions, feel free to email me. CS.Net is not very user friendly at times.
No. It definitely does not work in Emdat at all.
Nothing comes up. No Smartline, no expansions, nothing. When I used Emdat, I would type in a separate word window and then cut and paste back into Emdat.
Does Smartype work in Emdat?
I am working in Emdat and I feel like I am fighting the platform. Does Smartype work in Emdat?
I just work with ShortHand minimized. Smarttype doesn't work the same way? nm

looking for part-time Emdat work, preferably with clients in the East Coast
I have been making an average of 10,000 lines per pay period (bimonthly), on QA-optional status, but my accounts are based in the West Coast while I am in the East Coast. I usually work from afternoon to night to reach my daily goal of at least 1000 lines, which is not good for my family.
I would like to find part-time work to keep me busy in the mornings instead of nights. I prefer clinic accounts, ESLs or American dictators. I am willing to take a test anytime especially in the mornings EST.
Thanks!
Emdat Software Question for Emdat Users
Hello:
I have a question about the Emdat software. Regarding the cc: box, sometimes, you have to type in the address, because the address is not in the database. I have found that when you try to pause the audio with either the foot pedal or the "F" key assigned to pause while typing the address, the audion will not pause; it keeps on playing. You should be able to pause the audio while trying to type the address into the database. Anyone else notice this, anyone? Thank you kindly.
I used Shorthand in CS.net - it should work

Does PC Shorthand work in Radnet?../nm

Shorthand will work with Cerner, but... SM
your hospital IT department will probably tell you it won't work and you will probably also be told you cannot load personal software on hospital-owned equipment. There is a way around this, however. If you have a jump/flash drive you can download the SH program for their website when asked where to save the download file, choose your jump drive (it is drive F: on my PC, maybe different on yours).
Once the file is downloaded, open up your jump drive and double click on the install icon. When you get to the step of the installation that asks where you want to install the program (usually defaults to C:programs) change that to your jump drive. Then install the program. Now, the program is installed on your jump drive. You can take your jump drive and plug it in to any PC, open up your drive, double click on the SH icon to run the program, and the SH program will run in the background on whatever PC you are using (you will see the SH icon in your right lower corner with your clock). It is not installed on the PC, so you are not breaking any "rules" that the hospital may have. Once you are done for the day, double click the SH icon and shut down the program and unplug your dive. No one will ever know. It'll be your little secret.
I did this for years. I worked on Cerner RadNet and got the same run around about Expander programs. I just did it myself and nobody ever knew.
Good Luck!

Does Shorthand work with Medical Spellcheckers?
Just getting to know the Expander program "Shorthand", and saw that it says to shut off all spell-checkers. Does that mean that I cannot run Spellex or another Medical Spell Check program with it? Has anyone any suggestions as to what they use? Or any "work-arounds"
I am just getting started and trying to decide if I like "As-U-Type" or "Shorthand" better as my word expander. It seems that "Shorthand" does not act like a spell-checker like "As-u-Type" does, so need to add one.....preferrably a medical one.
Yes, it is called ESP. Instant Text and Shorthand work

Shorthand 10 and Instant Text V both work on Vista sm
Don't know what you consider "not too much money," but this is a piece of your arsenal you don't want to skimp on. You should get the absolute best you can afford -- if you put the time and energy into making the software work for you, it will for itself in no time.
How do you get the shorthand word expander to work in 'word client'?

I totally agree, the company I work for is switching from IT to Shorthand :( yuck!

Emdat works with Instant Text Por V - ony version that works with Emdat - nm

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.
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.
HELP with Shorthand. Suddenly today when I tried to start work today.sm
my ShortHand would type only the first letter of an expansion and then take all the letters away! I checked and the Type It button is grayed out! I have restarted the computer and looked on the Shorthand Help menu but can find nothing that applies. Can anyone please help me ASAP? I am lost without it! TIA
I have never found a program shorthand does not work with, it works outside the program (I think tha

Chartscript
I use it and really like it. Expander is similar to autocorrect. I would make my line count if I was able to sit down for 5 minutes without being bothered.
ChartScript - SM
This is a great offer. The benefits are so-so for a hospital, but not bad. You will easily get your line count working in ChartScript. ChartScript counts all demographics, headers, footers, bold, italic, etc. on and off counts as two characters, as well each bold, italic, underlined character counts as two. If you normally type 200 lines an hour on a standard 65 character line with spaces, because of the way ChartScript counts lines, those 200 lines in ChartScript would be closer to 300. Make sure it's not ChartScript.net, SoftMed's browser based transcription platform, because if it is, it will be extremely difficult to get your line count. There is a huge difference between ChartScript and ChartScript.net.

Anybody know any companies that use Chartscript?
Chartscript
I'm wondering if anyone has the same problem I'm having with Chartscript. I have never worked in Chartscript before, and my new primary account is in Chartscript. This is a brand-new account for my company (I work for a small MTSO), and they are pretty clueless with Chartscript and with Instant Text so are no help to me on this issue.
I don't know if it is my Instant Text that is causing the problems that I'm having. Sometimes when I'm in Chartscript, I'll use a heading from my Instant Text in the document. Then when I go to the next heading to insert it from Instant Text, it will copy the previous heading that I've just inserted. Also, sometimes if I have just copied and pasted something, it will insert that rather than the Instant Text entry that I am trying to insert into the document. It is SO aggravating and time-consuming!!
Also, Chartscript is so slow! It's like it can't keep up with my typing, but it happens even if I'm just trying to highlight something in the document or delete something.... it is so cumbersome it seems!! Is it ME, or is this something that other MTs have problems with also in Chartscript. Need some feedback please!
Chartscript
Thanks for responding to my question. I have cable internet. The only thing on my computer that goes slow is Chartscript. I search something on Google in a different window and it is really fast, then I go back to Chartscript and get so aggravated! See my problem is that I've come to rely on Instant Text SO much.. have used it for 3 years and just the thoughts of working without it scared me so much. I was told there isn't a way to import our Expanders into CS. I really do think though that it is the INstant Text program that is messing me up here. I'm gonna have to try to figure this out and start using the expanders in Chartscript, I know it! :o) Thanks again..
Chartscript
Thanks very much.
Chartscript
Also, I've read a post that it does not work with expanders, is that correct?
Tx for the reply.
Can someone who uses Chartscript
Please tell me how to run my linecount. I really need some help with this. Started with a new company and asked but have not received an answer yet...maybe they don't want to discourage me?? Thanks in advance
Chartscript
We use chartscript at the hospital where I work. On your main screen at the top is Reports. Click on this, then User Documents. Put in the date range and then click okay...then click on Print Preview. This should do it :)
Chartscript
Need info regarding Chartscript. Is it a good platform to work on? Is it in Word? How long for a learning time? Good line counts with it. Also, are you able to use PC Shorthand, and can I use my Stedman's medical/pharmaceutical spellchecker too. I would be lost without both of these helpers!!!
Thank you.
ChartScript
Can anyone who works on ChartScript tell me if it is Word-based, and what they thing of it? TIA.
Chartscript, sm
as far as the format- sorry don’t know that.
Chartscript
I am about to take on a new account that will be using Chartscript. I am wondering if normally when using Chartscript is the work is in a pool or is it assigned to each individual MT? Or does it depend on the company and how they do it? I am totally new to Chartscript and don't know what to expect.
Chartscript
Chartscript is the platform used to transcribe the reports and is word-based software. It has nothing to do with how the work is distributed or "pooled" ... that would be done through their dictation system, i.e. Lanier, Dictaphone, etc.
