If anyone is currently working for eTransPlus using ShortHand 9, could you please email me? I am getting extremely frustrated with the program and would appreciate being able to talk to someone who is currently using it. Thanks so much!

Etransplus Does
Worked for them for over 5 years and then they decide to cut our pay to according to how many lines we type, example 6,000 lines makes 6 cents, since I had always been part-time with them, that is what I typed, so they expected me to go down from 9 cents to 6 cents immediately no warning, how is that for fair, or rather unscrupulous!!!!
etransplus
You get 2 pages of account specifics, 2 sheets of do not use abbreviations, and a few samples, that's it. The accounts are great, they only require 900 lines per day to be in the pool for drawings and the bonuses, and you can set your hours. I went through 3 nationals before them and have been with them since August and I am very pleased. Plenty of work, good accounts, rarely rarely ESLs, and a good platform to work on. Plus if you get 10,000 lines per pay period, they pay half of your insurance.
ETransPlus
They are out of TN and growing steadily. In my 20 years, I would have to say the accounts I'm on are the best I've seen anywhere. The platform is very fast, quick demo page. It basically looks like a version of Word. I have maybe only 3 ESLs. The benefits are good, tiered pay depending on lines, shift differential, etc. If you meet your goals, work your shift, etc., at the end of the year they pay a bonus based on their profit. There are several tiers of health, dental, life, disability insurance depending on what you need. If you make 10,000 lines per pay period, they pay half. The vacation days are a little limited, 9 per year, but I didn't have any before so I am not complaining. They pay half your internet costs as well. No, we don't get referral bonuses. :)
EtransPlus
I believe you have to do 3000 a week for part time.
ETransPlus
Are there any other eTransPlus people on here? If so, have you had difficulty getting your insurance and bonus pay? I have been with them 10 months now and according to their paperwork, your insurance starts once you reach 10,000 lines per pay period, which was 9 months ago. I have emailed everybody and no answer. They promised a hiring bonus too, still nothing. Getting sick and tired of companies who offer all this and then go into hiding when you ask questions. What's with hiring the teeny-bopper supervisors???? Anybody else have problems with getting anything out of these people?
eTransPlus does not

I work evenings and that's 90% of what I get.

Has anyone ever worked for this company? I am considering employment with them, and was wondering if it would be worthwhile. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks!
E-MTS or eTransPlus
Can anyone recommend which company they would go with between E-MTS or eTransPlus? I am currently being offered positions by both and want to make a good decision. If anyone is or has been employed with either, please post a comment. Thanks!
etransplus
I have worked for both and I would definitely recommend etransplus. Did not stay at emts long enough to tell you one way or another what to do with them, but I am more than happy at etransplus.
I was able to use it with eTransPlus - nm

Etransplus and communication
I started with them about 2 weeks ago. When I started I got a 60 second tour on how to use the system. I received 3 samples of work and no account information. I had to BEG to get the account specifics and that took about another week. Nobody answers emails, including the lead on the account. The account I was given is great and the system easy to use, but what's with the lack of communication? I have another interview today that was to be for a part-time job but I may take another one full time just because of the communication.
Yes, I was talking etransplus
Never heard of etranz and glad I never have!
Are you the eTransPlus Amanda?
What happened?
Wouldn't happen to be eTransPlus would it?
If so, at least they have communicated with you. I have not heard a thing! But when work is out of turn around time, everybody is e-mailing
Can one make money at etransplus?
Hi,
I am pleased with the benefit package and the line rate for insurance, but I was astounded by style they prefer. It is just so much. Can one make money there?
I think DeVenture, eTransPlus, TransTech, and some Medware accts use

I work for eTransPlus, hospital accounts, and QA is great - 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.
I told you once, I told you twice, eTransPlus is going down the drain!
Don't expect communication from anyone, we are only little "peons."
Shorthand ? sm
Is Shorthand compatible with and is it much different than the standard autocorrect in Word?
I use Shorthand with DQS
It is very compatible. You can set it up so that you can see a hint window while you type. I tried using the built in Expander in DQS, and you have to have a great memory, because there is no hint window or suggestion window, like Smartype. I also know that Instant Text is compatible with DQS, also; but I prefer Shorthand. I hear so many great things about Smartype and wish I could learn it, but it won't work with DQS; however, there is a way you can get around that. You can use Smartype and transcribe in Word, set your font size to 14 and save your file in Rich Text Format, then copy and paste into the DQS platform. Then select all and hit Ctrl 5 to get the spacing right. It sounds like a lot of steps and you will also lose your place as far as leaving any QA markers, so I personally don't care for the hassle, but I know of some MTs that do it that way, so you can try it.
Hope this helps.
shorthand
cool, i'll look into that thanks
Shorthand SM
Shorthand should work with ChartScript, since ChartScript uses Microsoft Word, but you would want to disable ChartScript's built in expander. If you are referring to ChartScript.net, Shorthand should work in that too.
shorthand
Wow! Thanks! I had asked that question a little while ago on the production board.

Where did you find a free program? Did it load right into Word for Windows?
Shorthand
The Hospital I came from uses Meditech with Shorthand-, works fine. There is something built into Meditech like a word Expander but everyones stuff mixes in together and was a nightmare- love shorthand.
Shorthand
I would be very interested.
shorthand
I use ShortHand with Meditech. Works great....
In Shorthand, there must be (sm)
a shortcut key or something that allows you to add on the fly?? The only thing I see is to actually open the ShortHand window then I can click the insert button on my keyboard or click on the little "add" icon. Is there a key combination for doing this while I am in the document - to just bring that "add" window up?
I use Shorthand. nm

Shorthand
Is there a way to copy text with bold headers into shorthand, bold headers and all? The text copies fine but I have to go back and use the special keys for adding the bold back in at every header because the bold from the finished text will not carry over. I've gone through the help section but maybe I'm not asking "how to" the right way. It just seems that my old version of SH carried everything over, but I can't remember. Anyhow, if anyone has the answer, would appreciate it.
Shorthand
No, you hit Ctrl K and B before the entry, type the entry how you want it, and then hit Ctrl K and B again to toggle the bolding off. It will come up with a little window showing you the B is the next key typed or something to that effect, and you click 'OK' both times that window comes up.
Shorthand
If you need everything in CAPS use CAPS Lock. If you only want the first letter of the sentence just do as you would for a regular sentence by holding down the Shift key and type the first letter whatever it may be. It will bring up your expansion with the first letter only capitalized.
Need help w/Shorthand 9
I downloaded the 30-day trial of Shorthand. I cannot figure out how to bold a word in MSWord. Every time I try to input CTL+B into the expansion, the program puts the - {@KEY - or something like that. I have read and tried everything I could find in the Help section with no luck. Can someone type out what I need to input to get a word capitalized and bolded. I would really, really appreciate the help. I am thinking it must be something super easy that I am just not getting! TIA
I really like Shorthand
I worked for MQ and liked the expansion program. With my new company I have Shorthand. I really like it. You can try it out for a 30-day period and see if you like it before you buy it.
Shorthand!
Is there a way you can import addresses into ShortHand all at once, instead of one by one?
Thanks in advance!
Shorthand
There is an AWESOME board you can join that will help also. It is productivity talk, and it is at http://www.productivitytalk.com/
It will not only help you with ShortHand but also with Instant Text, Smartype (sp?) and MS Word.
shorthand help
Does anyone know how to add to ShortHand the following: PLa then subscript the #2 in font of 8 instead of 12. It is annoying to keep going to font size and then to subscript and then back to font size and then back to no subscript. I am looking for an easy fix, any help?
Shorthand
We can I go to buy Shorthand?

I have been trying to order ShortHand for over a week now and their web site is down. Are they out of business? Any info? Thanks!
PRD to ShortHand
I worked for 25+ years in WP for DOS and used PRD. I loved it. This year I changed to WORD and was able to use ShortHand from the first day. The file conversion from my PRD to ShortHand was quick and easy. One thing I really like is that the length of the short form is not limited, sometimes with PRD I wanted "just one more letter."
I have not learned how to write the neat macros I had in WP5.1 that would switch from document 1 to document 2, search and copy, and then paste. I will do anything to keep from using the mouse. Like I said before, it's all new to me this year, but I am learning. One reason I held off the switch to WORD for so long was that I would not stop using my beloved PRD.
Anyway, as far as I can tell, in ShortHand there is NO LIMIT to the number of abbreviations you can have in a directory, and no limit to the number of directories you can have. So you could have one dedicated to surgeries, and another for discharge summaries, and it's easy to switch them.
And after all these years, I found WORD was not really that technical or difficult to learn. Whichever Expander you choose, I hope it works out for you like it did for me.
PC Shorthand
Would you mind telling me your experience (good or bad) with PC ShortHand for Windows? I'm considering buying it but want to know some opinions from people who have actually used it. Thanks!

Love it, couldn't make any money without it.....

help with shorthand
Ok here is the problem. I want to delete the entire dictionary from Shorthand. I was trying to transfer from one computer to the other and really messed it up. I now have 4 dictionaries but no entries. How do I delete these so I can start all over again. Your help is appreciated by my entire family.
shorthand
I know how to do that but the problem is that it does not highlight when you right click on it.

ShortHand 8 is out now, I think. They will let you download it for a 30-day trial. Most will give a trial, so you could check them out before you buy too. GL!
