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.

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

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.
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 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.
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.
Not on dial-up, but use ExText. I just keep my own Shorthand program open and minimized and use it

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

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.
{@KEY BkSp}-pack-per-year is for Shorthand. Using the semicolon works with both Shorthand and
;yo = -year-old
;py= -pack-year
etc...
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.
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.
M-TEC has a Basic program (12 month) and a Premier program (18 month). To WAH, you should take the P

PRD is a DOS program, so you just
copy the entire folder to a floppy or CD. It does not need to be installed like windows programs.

Value of SUM program...What would you pay???>>>
I asked this on the equipment board, but I think maybe I'll get a better response here, so I hope its okay to post it here, too.
Does anyone know what the SUM CDs are worth? There are some on ebay. The beginning one is 2005, and usually they are the older ones on ebay. I looked on the HPI website, but they come with books and are VERY expensive.
Anyway, does anyone have an idea of what they are worth without any extra books? I want to bid on them, but don't know how much. They are at $9.99 each now. There is a beginning one, an advanced one and a surgery one. Shoot. I want them, but don't want to pay too much, you know?
Thanks for any input. 
SUM Program
First, realize if you are able to study independently. The SUM cd's that are on ebay now are the new 2005 editions. You will be able to find the additional books you need on eBay over a few weeks. My advice to you is 1) go to the HPI/SUM website and print out the Student Syllabus and assignments for beginning and surgical (this will give you all of your assignments and a list of what supplies you will need, 2) email the eBay seller and make sure she is including the password codes to "unlock" the cds (Without these, they are useless to you.), then bid what they are worth to you. I have seen them go from $10 to well over $100. I sold a one myself (and not the new edition) for $125. Since I now have everything I need, I will pass on a little hint for buying cheap on eBay. Look for the packages, purchase them, take out what you need, then relist the rest. I now have a second computer (used but fine), desk (nice and new), all the reference books needed for the SUM Program, every Stedman's book that I could ever want (the latest editions), flash cards from Career Step (which come in handy), the extra AAMT cd's that M-Tec uses along with macros and every possible item I could ever want. In the end, not only did it cost me nothing, but I actually came out ahead in the end.
So, if you have the time, this is an excellent way to purchase training materials. Good luck and happy shopping.
DQS program
Hello out there - Starting position who has DQS program.
I find it to be very poor. (In fact those who know the Meditech program - I prefer Meditech over DQS anyday)
I have a lot of issues with the program; however, will just ask two questions, please. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
1. Does anyone have advice as to the quality of dictation. I am not referring to the physicians quality, but the inability of the DQS program to have more than 4 selections for speed, which are terrible.
Is it me or is this par for the program? 1-2 speed hash marks are draggy, 3-4 is distorted. There is not a happy medium for clear dictation but at a rate you can type quickly and accurately.
2. Also minutes - never measured my work in minutes how many minutes a day approximately to produce 1500 lines a day ??
35+ years transcription experience - this is the worst program ever. Hey that is just my opinion, I could be wrong (5000 lb gorilla).
DQS program
Thank you so much for your information. You have hit the nail right on the head.
I too did the same as you. It seems almost impossible to get more than 700 lines. I am so confused as I usually average 200+ lines/hour on all other typing plateforms I have ever used. (Even Meditech)
Your reponse has really helped realize the program frustration is not completely my fault.
THANK YOU - God Bless
What program are you using?

Top gray keys - press left key (program), press again and it will say keys, choose which black button you want for the headset and press it, type #*11, hit the select (X) key, hit the black button you chose again and the hit the top right gray key (no). If you hit the black button you chose, it should light up, indicating the headset is working.
See Clearly Program. Has anyone every tried this?
If so, did it work?
I believe you would need a program also.
I don't know of any free ones that could be used with a pedal but I certainly could be wrong. Some companies have you test within their platform and it might work there. Good luck!
? on sum program
Sorry not sure which board to put this ? on but I have sum program with 12 tapes side a and b, machine and answer key and have no idea of what kind of a price to put on this. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
don't know what program UR using but I NEVER
My reports, especially with ESL, come in better than they (the ESL dictators) can actually dictate. I have to do editing, sure, but it's mostly punctuation, or wrong word(s), setting up paragraphs, doing some headings - it's very rapid for me (used to edit in a previous setting but not medical) but, yes, it is less $, so you work smarter, not harder, in this biz.... I'm much faster on VR than straight transcribing and wish I had more VR.....
is that the program that is - sm
specific to futurenet?
IT program
is it easy to download? have you had a problem with it like the other post? thank you so much!
In what program?

You don't say what the program is.
Line counts can vary for several reasons and it's not fair for you to blame MS Word or the line-counting program for the discrepancy.
You need to check with the MTSO about the EXACT settings they're using. For example, are you counting for formatting such as Bold or Caps? Maybe they're not. Are you counting for tabs and they're not? Headers/Footers? There are any number of reasons for the difference so until you check with the appropriate source (the MTSO) about their settings, you won't know.
RE: Program
I use Transcription Gear and
have no problems.
So, you were able to use this program from
I was going to try it for an account that I have where I transcribe from progress notes. A lot of these patients are established and the med list stays the same. I currently save my documents by date of service, but I am wondering if it would be worth my while to build a patient database even if just for this account. My fear was having to recreate the Word documents in a separate program.
There is a way to program, but I can't get
it to work. What I do is take the phone off and stick it in my desk drawer and the headphones work fine and no speaker phone. If you do get the speakerphone hit stop and it will go away.
You don't say what program you are using, but if I
need to make a change that isn't offered I just cancel out, I'm at the spot I need to change, I change it, and then I run spellcheck again.
Tell me a little more about this program
Is it something you do from home? How long does it last? What does it entail? Or perhaps a website you can direct me to.
