{@KEY BkSp}-pack-per-year is for Shorthand. Using the semicolon works with both Shorthand and
;yo = -year-old
;py= -pack-year
etc...
The shortcuts expander works with the Bayscribe expander as well.
All at the same time.
Which expander do you like? I am currently using Shorthand which comes with the job but need
;}
Which expander? I used Shorthand, and it's got a
suggestion box feature that you can stretch across the bottom of your screen to remind you of the expansions. Also, make up a little system for your expansions. Some people use ABCZ, but I use a phonetic/consonant system or the first letters of phrases because that's what I can remember. It's like car license plates with no vowels. sbrc is subarachnoid cnsn is consultation
It might be that you haven't found your company fit yet, too. Keep searching for a better company if the current one isn't cutting it.
Shorthand expander
Did someone pmce say that ShortHand could keep track of repeated phrases etc? What version? I have Version 8 I believe and don't see where it can do that. Thanks
Need help with Shorthand expander (sm)
I'm feeling pretty dumb here. I use Instant Text and the Expander with my regular job with no problem, but my PT job uses ShortHand and honestly, I've never figured it out. If you use Shorthand would you please email me. I feel silly enough posting this. I don't want to ask questions and feel worse. Just please put in the subject that you're from MTStars.      
shorthand expander
I too used PRD+ with Word Perfect DOS 5.0. Make pretty good money, but none like those other people that type. Have wondered and wondered how they do it. Can you tell me.
Help with Shorthand expander (sm)
I really hate this Expander but it is what works best with this other company I work for. How do you make -year-old move so it is next to the number when you key in yo? TIA
Tru Shorthand expander
Shorthand and Instant Text work about the same way. ShortHand has a free 30-day trial you can download online, and it is a lot cheaper than Instant Text.

I have been using Shorthand since 1997, and have never had a problem or complaint.
Can't you just use whatever expander works with this &

question about shorthand expander
I am trying to figure out which Expander to purchase and I feel so dumb. I shorthand expander something I download to my PC or is it more like a CD? Can I use it on more than one computer, i.e. home and work? I'm actually trying to find something that can sort of travel with me, like bringing my tool box along with me. Is that possible?
Thanks.

Transferring my ShortHand expander to another computer... Help!
I have gotten permission from my company that I can transfer my ShortHand abbreviation Expander to their computer. I have saved everything to CD. I had to downloaded the new ShortHand Program to the new computer. Someone care to give me step-by-step process. Thanks! I must be doing something wrong, as when I try the file conversion, it says "source and destination cannot be the same." I was saving from the CD to the program on the ShortHand file Programs on the C drive

Shorthand is not the Windows "shorthand/expander" SM
and has only a virtual tour, not a true demo, so far as I know anyway. The program so misleadingly advertised may be excellent, but it's new and untried, not one of the industry leaders ShortHand is.
Has anyone had problems with their Shorthand text expander? sm
I have had mine for almost 10 years with no problems and suddenly it started not working. The type it button became inactive. At first restarting it fixed it but then that stopped fixing it so I uninstalled and reinstalled and that worked for about a day and then it stopped working again and reinstalling didn't help the next time. Has anyone had this problem?
Shorthand works.
email me if you need any more info
ShortHand works just like that. $100. And you can try it out first.

Need an expander that works with Meditech system
I have tried some free downloads of a couple of programs but had problems with them. Had to turn them off and on when I went to different screens or different aspects in Meditech. I do Radiology and basic 4 with access to Meditech Expander which is only good for long repetitive phrases and I often go into the medical charts to look up medicines, etc. This poses a problem with some Expanders as I enter codes to get to the different screens. Please help!
You need an expander like Instant Text or Shorthand so you don't have to keep converting every ti

Can an expander be created in Shorthand while typing the document?
Or do you have to get out of the document and make up the expansions? When you download it from the website, do you get any instructions along with the program? Any other info would be appreciated.
Shorthand works wonderfully with DQS

Shorthand, I believe works in all Windows
programs. It works in my email, etc. so should work in Works also
I use Shorthand. It works great in there. sm
The Scribe platform is easy to use once you are used to it. My lines have doubled in the past two months. I use Shorthand for EVERYTHING.
Go to www.pcShorthand.com. There is a trial version.
ShortHand is up to version 9, at least, now, as it's what I have. Maybe v.10 is in the works?? nm

Shorthand works with Mysis
Haven't tried any others but I use SH with it.
Yes, Shorthand works with Meditech.
I have only worked in one version of Meditech, Meditech Magic, and it is easy to use. There are other versions, though. I'm sure they are easy also.
Just make sure you get a list of what the function keys do in your version.
Shorthand works everywhere in Windows.
Can't speak for that platform specifically... but ShortHand for Windows works everywhere, including e-mail, instant messaging, and every other place that you type. They even have a 30-day free trial so you can download and test it out before laying out the $$.
Instant Text expander..Does anyone know if it works with Bayscribe? sm
and how expensive it is? I currently use ShortHand but reading some of the posts below feel I might be interested in trying Instant Text. Do you know if I would be able to transfer my Shorthand abbreviations into Instant Text? Thanks for your help!
How do you get the shorthand word expander to work in 'word client'?

Try opening up ShortHand before log in. Works with other systems like that. nm

MTStars FlashType works just like Shorthand and is $59.95.
see link below
Shorthand works with every program, it works outside the program you use, does not interfere.

Shorthand works great with DQS and is half the price

Try FlashType, it works just like Shorthand but is half the price.
see link below
It is an older DOS-type environment - works well with Shorthand. sm
Lots of menus, especially in radiology, but ShortHand helps you get through them very quickly is you write macros to just stop where you need to.
It can be very productive with good line counts if you are paid by the line.
Personally, I loved it, but that was because I did very well with our incentive program on it.
MTStars FlashType works just like Shorthand and costs less.
It also works on Vista. See link below.
FlashType works much like Shorthand, is cheaper, & significantly increases your

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.
FlashType is cheaper and works equally as well as Shorthand and has a free demo.

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