SmartType sm
I would not know what to do wihtout my Stedmans SmartType. It is a lifesaver. I do not know what my percentage increase would be but it saves a lot of time that would otherwise be spent looking up words.
SmartType
If you buy SmartType it comes with its own words (tons of rare medical spellings), however, if you want definitions you would need a dictionary. I love SmartType.
I tried SmartType sm
and I was like you with Instant Text. I couldn't get used to it at all. It drove my lines way down to like 45 lines an hour. I said to heck with that! I correspond with another MT who endorses SmartType, too, and tells me it has increased her speed. To me it was too distracting seeing the SmartLine and all that other hoopla on the bottom. Is there a secret to it?
WP51/FF/PRD/SMARTTYPE ETC
Yeh, loved those good ole' days... How about that one started First _______? that was a good program...Or.. am I giving my age away....I don't care I am 68......
Smarttype and Meditech
Can anyone tell me if Smarttype works with Meditech. Just started account using Meditech. I have Smartype, but did not install because program I was using had its own really great expander, But of course, Meditech does not. Help?
It's not just you! I HATE DQS. Especially coming from WP 5.1 and Smarttype! UGH!! nm

Dictaphone Extext & Smarttype
Does anyone use Stedmans Smartype in conjunction with Dictaphone Extext/Word Client? If so, how do you disable the cc (shortcuts) in Extext? I am using Word 2000 so I know Smartype works with that but not sure about using in with Extext/Word Client.
I've heard that Smarttype is exactly like SH, so . . .
SH may not work either. You might want to go to the SH website and contact tech suppor. They may be able to tell you. Good luck.
My apologies. I believe it is SpeedType not SmartType
that is supposed to be like Shorthand. But, in any case, check with tech support at ShortHand about compatibility with your program.
Can Smarttype be used with Editscript/eScription?
SmartType vs Smart Type Assistant
Are these one and the same or different? Does Smart-Type work in Dictaphone Extext platform?
Thanks in advance for any help from anyone.
SmartType will run in Word client programs sm
I know this because I have used it in MedRite XL, Extext, MTWorld and Winscribe. There are a couple of others out that it will run with. Sometimes you have to futz a bit (Extext), but it will run.
SmartType is wonderful and I am VERY productive with it, BUT it will limit your career and flexibility somewhat if that is all you can or will use. It has to have Word or an actual Word client, you can't link it to IM, email or a funny platform like you can IT for instance. (SH will also do this.)
Unless you tend to stay at a job for years at a time, AND it is a Word client like Extext, it is best you have IT or SH because they are portable from one system to another. Much as I love ST and have used it for over 10 years, I can't unreservedly recommend it to anyone.
I think ShortHand and SmartType offer free trials. nm

Yeah, just like ABCZ which I used in auto correct and SmartType, I think.
Bottom line, they increase production, TAT, quality and salary. My company provides us with 2 different ones because they are like a raise in wages. And companies have less employes and taxes, everyone is happy.'
Sorry about confusion and typos, I do not have my glasses on lol (they are in this house somewhere, i just know it!).
Smarttype - Adding a text file list?
Is it possible to add a text file word/phrase list to Smartype? If so, how do you do this?
Thanks! 
This is funny blaming it on Microsoft. SmartType only works in Word and they need to keep up with

Any Stedman SmartType users? Pros & Cons? Will it retain bold formatting without using DOS command
DOS commands like ShortHand does?
They are not compatible. nm.

Sorry, they are compatible.

It's very compatible with Word, and quite
similar to Autotext/Autocorrect. That's why I like it better than IT. Download the free 3-day trial offer to see how you like it.
No you don't have to buy it. If you don't have a compatible player - sm
that can play "PlayAll" files then they will supply the PlayAll XTRA player, though they do ask you send them a CD for it I believe. They supply the WP DOS 5.1, Stedman's Spellcheck via email. That is why I said don't let the question throw you, you don't have to buy anything.....unless you are new of course, then you will need a footpedal. Bytescribe is compatible with the sound files and that is what I use, I also have a copy of the PlayAll which I use to pull up the file information I need to transcribe, but it won't work if you have Bytescribe on your computer. I love my Bytescribe so it stays. They will train in in the use of WP 5.1 and they hire newbies too. I started to work for them with 2 months of experience....it will be 4 years in May since I began working for them. As I said good people, I appreciate them as much as they appreciate me.
Won't work, new IT Pro V is now compatible with

I don't know if Stedman's is compatible or not, but it
is considered the best and the most widely used I believe.
Is Shorthand not compatible?
You have to have a program compatible
with whatever he has to download the voice files from his office.
Is Escription 3 compatible with
I have MS Word 2002 and I know that it is not compatible with Escription 8 which is what I am going to have to start using Monday. I have a Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 disk that came with my laptop. So....my question is.....will MS Word 2007 Home and Student work with Escription 8? My next question is do I need to uninstall my MS Word 2002 before I install MS Word 2007 or will the Word 2007 overwrite the 2002? Any help with this would be wonderful
I mean Escription 8 compatible with

Are wav pedals compatible with all programs?
I'm looking to invest in one since I see a lot of jobs require you to have one. I was wondering if there was a brand out there that is compatible with most programs. I see some ads say they must have the Start-Stop one and so on. Any information on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you! Do you know if DocQscribe is compatible w/ satellite? nm

.dss files are not compatible with wav players--sm
They need to be *converted* for WAV players to be able to play them. your wav player may have a conversion tool within it. If it has a *tool* button, open that. It will not automatically play them and saving your files in Word will not convert them to wav files. you have to do that manually. good luck.
MS Works and MS Word are NOT compatible. SM
If you do a document in MS Works and try to open it as an MS Word document all you will get is machine code. So if you are transcribing for someone who wants the files and they have MS Word, they will not be able to do anything with them (except pull their hair out).
The newest Stedman's is compatible.

Please let us know if your software is compatible with Vista and thank you.
It seems that companies would hurry up and get compatible with Vista, as they would have more choice in MT's in their hiring process.
Hoping companies will get their VPN, etc. compatible soon.
Vista is so smart and fast -- at least my computer is !
Vista is still not compatible with most platforms currently.
I have yet to see a platform compatible with MAC and if you look at the job ads when listing needed equipment they all say PC.
Stedman's is compatible with Vista. I use it. nm

2007 not compatible with 2003--sm
but there is a file conversion tool available. Whether this would affect the normal.dot file, I have no idea. Better check with microsoft word on that one. go to MS website, they have a lot of info about 2007
What footpedals are compatible w/ Escription?
TIA 
stedman's 8 is compatible with VISTA. nm

Word 2007 not compatible
I was so happy when a friend surprised me by buying me a version of Office 2007 so that I could have Word 2007 (I'd been slugging along using Word 2000 which was sooo slow).
But now that I'm actively job hunting, I'm seeing more and more ads stating that various platforms are NOT compatible with Word 2007!
Does anyone know why?
EditScript8 is VISTA compatible
I have them both on my other computer. I'm not sure EditScript is VISTA compatible, though.
Hope that helps :-)
Any version of WordPerfect will be compatible. nm
Also, if buying an analog TV, get the facts if it will be compatible or not...(nm)

I'm getting set up for DQS and I was told by tech that Smartype is not compatible but(sm)
Shorthand and PDR or PDS (whatever it is, I don't have) would work. I have Smartype too and it's a pain that it won't work. I was told by others here that what is on the DQS is sufficient. Hope that's true for me too. Good luck.
Accordign to Microsoft, it is XP and Vista compatible.

True, but I've checked out the one I need and it's compatible
Start-Stop is on the list of compatible programs for the particular model I need. Thanks for the input though!
Don't think so. So many new programs/software aren't DOS compatible. nm

Misys, compatible shorthand programs
Does anyone know if ShortHand or InstanText is compatible with Misys? If not, are any other 'shorthand' programs compatible?
