I'm not sure if this will help you or not but it can't hurt to check. 

On the autoreplace options page in ShortHand there's a box called "options" after the line for Use Alt+Ins to add current word to dictionary. Click on the options and make sure there is not a blank space in the keyword suffix box. 

It used to make me nuts because every time I created a new shorthand entry it would put a space and . behind it and I had to manually delete them.  I did that for 5 years before someone told me about that suffix box and sure enough the space and period were in there. 

Hope this helps. 

Hi all.  I was just playing around with my ShortHand program and noticed the stats button and it has been keeping track of my percentage typed and how much time it saves. 

It was at 32% that Shorthand typed for me, and it saved me over a year of typing since 2005.  LOL. 

I reset it and it was at 42% with just 3 reports.  It will be interesting to see what it will be Monday evening!

find this especially annoying at the end of the sentence when I have to backspace to put in a period.  Do you just constantly backspace or do you know how to avoid this without typing in that command {@nospace}for each shortcut?  Sure would appreciate any help.  I am so tired of backspacing. 

immediately following the slash and have it expand.  For example if I needed to transcribe mass/sebaceous cyst, is there a way to use my expanded sebaceous cyst without having to back space after I type the slash mark?  TIA

or the heading at the top of the page that we don't type?

and do you find it a little offputting that they can't put in writing that they pay for spaces?  it makes me think all is not kosher. 

;yo = -year-old

;py= -pack-year

etc...

I have tried green tea on 2 separate occasions and both times experienced what appears to be bloody stools with it.  As soon as I stop the intake of the tea, the blood goes away.  I really like the tea as it does a good job of promoting energy and weight loss, but I cannot understand why it causes this reaction.  Would anyone have any idea why this happens?  Is there another natural energy booster I can try?  Thanks for any and all help. 

would care to share tips on getting started with Instant Text, especially the best way to go about customizing the glossaries . . . just received my IT and I'm anxious to get going, but it does seem that there is a learning curve and takes some getting used to.

Thanks to all!

Does anyone work for more than 1 company that uses DocQscribe.  I work for 1 company with DocQScribe and just got a part-time job at another company that uses DocQscribe.  Is there any way to use DocQscribe for 2 companies on 1 computer?

Thanks!

I have read old posts from users who do not like Vianeta.  I would like to hear from those MTs who have used this software and like working with it.  Is it better since the new owners took over?  Do you prefer Vianeta to any other software?  What is your favorite feature? I am not a Vianeta representative, just interested in your opinion.

Thanks!

Help!!!!    Question for IC MTs who use Meditech currently. I need to get another

"Medical/Pharmacological Spellchecker.  What do some of you have and use right now?

I work PT for this hospital but and the only spellchecker they have on Meditech is called this:  Proximity Merriam-Webster Database Dictionary.  It does not have drugs on it per say. 

Bought a Stedmans but now people tell me that will not work and I have not tried it yet.   I do have PCShorthand but there are no drugs on it either.  

Does anyone know what would work?   Thanks

Just a quick question for everyone who is willing to respond:  When doing VR reports, do you listen, read/proof and upload or do you listen, read/proof, proof again and upload?  I am just trying to figure out what everyone else is doing.  Thanks .

Electronic Health Record Users

Beginning in 2011, physicians and hospitals can receive bonus payments under Medicare and Medicaid if they are found to be "meaningful EHR users." But with all the talk surrounding "meaningful," what does it all mean from the physician's point of view?
 
The federal government has said they might publish criteria for the definition of "meaningful use" of electronic health records as early as June 16, according to the HIMSS Electronic Health Record Association, a trade group for EHR firms. And with June 16th right around the corner, this survey is meant to explore the value of the physician narrative as it relates to electronic documentation and the meaningful use of an EHR, as well as shed light on what meaningful EHR use is.

1.  Can you import AutoText entries into this program?

2.  What's their website?

Does the Bytescribe waveplayer version 4.3 or 6 work with the Docshuttle bytescribe program or do I need to have different software.

I can't open compressed wave files from the Bytescribe Utility Export program.  Anyone have any answers?

I was on the phone with BS today for 2 hours, and still no answer as to why - I think I need another version of bytescribe waveplayer to work correctly - any thoughts on this or has this happened to anyone else?

Thanks for your help
