Shorthand and SpeedType are exact same program. Shorthand will cost you lots less.
you can import your autocorrect into Shorthand.
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.
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.

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.
Yep, in Shorthand & SpeedType since they are the same program.

Is Speedtype the same as Shorthand?
Thank you so much for this info. Is Speedtype the same as ShortHand or is it the same as another expander? I know there are two that are the same and one is cheaper. I am looking for the Expander that lists the expansion suggestions next to the cursor so I do not have to look at the bottom of the monitor all of the time. I am not lazy really lol I just need to bring up my production. Thanks again
It is SpeedType, which is the same as ShortHand, which is
spf compatible I believe.
It looks exactly like Shorthand and SpeedType.
It expands with the spacebar and punctuation. You do have to make up your own shortcuts and you can have more than one dictionary file, but you can't have duplicate shortcuts like you can with Instant Text. All of these programs are better than AutoCorrect because there is no limit to the number of shortcuts (there is with AutoCorrect), and it works in most programs instead of just Word.
You'd have to download the trial to figure out whether or not you like it.
What is the difference between Shorthand and SpeedType?
Hi I've been using ShortHand for a couple months now but I just downloaded the trial of SpeedType to check it out. It seems that the two are EXACTLY the same! How is it possible for two different manufacturers to have the exact same program? It looks the same, all the functions appear to be the same. This is really bizarre.
I must be missing something. Are there ANY differences between Shorthand and SpeedType? If so, what are they? Why would someone pay twice the price for SpeedType if it is exactly the same?? Thanks.
Can someone tell me how Speedtype compares to Shorthand?
nm
That's because SpeedType is just a retail version of Shorthand. :)

ShortHand 30 day trial download
http://www65.pair.com/lim/shorthand/dnload.html
Shorthand has a free 30-day trial.
You can also download other people's dictionaries off the 'Net, but I chose to make my own according to my own abbreviation rules for ease of remembering. I think there are other websites to download from besides this one, but I can't find them right now. I tried Instant Text and used Word's Autotext feature, but I kept coming back to Shorthand. Just make sure you read the Help file and tutorial because otherwise, you'll miss out on a lot of valuable features.

FYI, you can download a 30 day trial of Shorthand
to use until you buy something.

You can download a free 30 day trial medical spellchecker at Sylvan. I've never used it, and I'm sure there are others out there, but these will get you by in a pinch.

FlashType works just like ShortHand except is cheaper.

Yes, Speedtype is overpriced retail version of Shorthand.
They are the exact same program except that Speedtype charges you for every list you want to import. Shorthand gives you the same conversion file with the program. The Productivity Talk forum has super tips for using Shorthand and other expanders. http://www.productivitytalk.com/forums/index.php
No, there are absolutely no differences between Shorthand and Speedtype except the price.

See inside for a great website for using ShortHand/Speedtype.
http://www.productivitytalk.com
Go to forums and scroll down to commands/glossaries/dictionaries then ShortHand Commands. Hope this helps.
Where do I get the trial version of Shorthand? Sorry! No clue!!! Thanks for
the help!
Download ShortHand for a free trial.
Of all the expanders I've tried, it's been the easiest to learn and use. Good graphic user interface, too. Lots of features. Read the help file and manual because there are a lot of neat features I didn't even know about until I read about them.

You can download the free 30-day trial of Shorthand here.
http://www.pcshorthand.com/dnload.html
Then it's $99.95 to purchase it at the end of the free trial, but it pays for itself and is really easy to use. That'll give you a month to save up the money for it. My stats vary on it anywhere from 26% to 67% depending on my dictator.
Shorthand - You can download a free 30-day trial
and try it out. It has its quirks but is a good simple program.
Love ShortHand and believe you can download it for a trial. Might be others out there, too. nm

It is in the Shorthand program.
Open ShortHand and click on help.
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's a really good program. I use Shorthand with it.
Instant Text also works
Shorthand program with Citrex
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.
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!!!

Is there a way to copy Shorthand program from one computer

Shorthand is great short cut program,
I wish you the best.
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.
{@KEY BkSp}-pack-per-year is for Shorthand. Using the semicolon works with both Shorthand and

;py= -pack-year

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.

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

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.
Shorthand works with every program, it works outside the program you use, does not interfere.
