What is the best expander program for Meditech system?

I asked this question a while back and someone told me ShortHand worked great with Meditech. I have downloaded the new trial version of it and it interferes with certain keys that are used in Meditech. Such as filling out information screens and the save button in Meditech. Things come up that I don't want to come. I want a program that will expand only in the text part of Meditech. Any help would be appreciated.

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!
I believe Olympus is a dictation system, not a program such as Word or Meditech - sounds to me like

Question about Meditech system. sm
I have just started working in Meditech after using Word for years. I find it to be very confusing. Do any of you that have worked in it for awhile like it? My first line count is running around 90 lines per hour. That is pretty low for me on a new platform. Is it a productive system?

Meditech Expander on Citrix
Hi all, I have searched the forums and can't find an answer. My hospital recently went to Meditech and I am typing on Meditech through a website on Citrix. None of my Expanders work with the Citrix website.
Any ideas? I have tried Shortcut, Flashtype and As You Type and nothing works. I am ready to pull my hair out. Hope someone can help.
Meditech Expander on Citrix
I have ShortHand 9X and when I press the spacebar for the expansion, I get the Meditech message, just like I pressed F12, asking me if I want to save the text. It doesn't expand.

PCSHORTHAND is the only one I have found to work with Meditech; www.pcshorthand.com
Meditech Program
For anyone who uses Meditech Program? I work PT for a hospital that uses Meditech. They only have a spellchecker for their girls and myself being an IC I purchased PCShorthand years ago. I really would like to purchase a software program spellchecker that also checks and has generic and brand names drugs in it. Does anyone use or knows of a program like that which would also be compatible with Meditech as some things interfere with it I have been told? Thanks Pauline
Do you use a system for expander?

Instant Text works with Meditech and most any other program.

expander program
I love my Instant Text. It attaches to the bottom of Word and allows you to choose how many suggestions it lists. You select the one you want and tap a key for it to insert the phrase, word, etc. into your document. You can enter as many as you want, and it also comes with a lot of .glo files. You can buy others, and there are some free files out there, too. If you type in a phrase to include and tap tab key, the program automatically creates a shortcut for you. It’s always the first letter of each word. You can change the shortcut if you want to. It’s really easy!
What expander, short-cut program (sm)
works best with Transnet ExText? Will Keystrokes provide this Expander if you purchased the foot pedal? Feel free to e-mail me if you like, I'd appreciate the helpful information.
Yes, I have expander but I would like a macro program.. sm
to do those things my Expander cannot. I used MS Word for a short period of time and got used to macros to perform tasks. Now my software is not Windows based and I have no macro program though have seen some for sale. I just don't know enough to make an intelligent choice.
Yes, it's a word expander--can be used with any program (not just DQS)

Pros and cons of word Expander programs that work with Chartscript? PC ShortHand as opposed to Instant Text? Which is better? I have downloaded PC shorthand for a 30 day trial, but to me its a little slow. Any ideas? Thanks
System Restore does not affect documents, only program files.

System restore does not affect documents, only program files.
You will not lose any documents you've created. Restore does nothing to the normal.dot or other templates.
Need help finding a good expander program
I work on DocQscribe and I use Instant Text. Does anybody out there work on a different shorthand program that is compatible with DocQscribe? Instant Text is okay but I am wondering if there is another program I would like more.
new at this... how do I choose a good expander program?

Ditto / Palabrio expander program
Recently there was a post here asking people to try the above program - and then the guy came back and thanked participants
??? Anyone who tried this software - are you willing to share your opinion - for price alone it is definitely worth considering but I am wondering...
Is it fast, easy to use? Are the popups annoying? Can you do functions with it or just expand words/phrases?
Any info appreciated / thanks
Perhaps you listed it that way in your autocorrect or other expander program
Does your program have an option to put in a backspace in your expander?
I use ShortHand for Windows, and if this is what you use, you can put {@KEY BkSp} at the end of it and it will automatically backspace as part of the shortcut.
Same thing applies for bolding, etc. If you look in the help section, you should be able to find out if you can do this.
If you work in Microsoft word, you could record a macro instead of putting it into the autocorrect section.
Good luck!

POLL: Productivity gain using your expander and what expander you use.
Guess I need to make it work harder.
The shortcuts expander works with the Bayscribe expander as well.
All at the same time.

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".
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.
Word Expander Programs - Are there any expander programs that are easy to use and learn
that are similar to the MS Word expander? I prefer something very simple. I like MS Word expander; however I have gone over my limits and cannot add any more shortcuts so I need a program that will hold a larger amount of shortcuts. Many thanks.

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

Meditech
Has anyone ever used a word Expander with Meditech? I understand that there are several different versions of this program and we use it for Radiology. We have V. 3.25. I was specifically thinking about ShortKeys? Any input would be appreciated.

Has anyone ever used Meditech? Is it user-friendly? Fast? Thanks for any info you can give me.
MediTech
No to all of the above questions.

Hello ladies. Can any of you give me referral for the name of a good medical transcription service company to work for? I've been with Spheris for almost 3 years and am looking. I've been requesting to change from an intimidating and threatening supervisor for months, and it hasn't happened. MANY PEOPLE are leaving Spheris. I'm just wondering -- can anyone give me the name of a NICE COMPANY to work for??
Thank you very much. Have a nice day.
Meditech
User-friendly? LOL. Shorthand helps.
Meditech?!))!!**
I hate it! Been working through Meditech. A huge hospital account and it's constantly going slow, booting you offline. And, it's been like this for years. They are losing a load of MT's because of it. It's okay for the hospital users, labs, docs, etc. NOT for transcriptionists. You need a dedicated line, not a system that serves a metropolis!
Does anyone use Meditech here?
I work for a hospital and I am forced to use Meditech. There is nothing to help a Transcriptionist except for autocorrect. The F11 key is diabled as well as macros. Any one else experience this problem, and how did you get around it.
Going crazy without my tools. I can't stand not being able to F11 to my next stop, let alone make templates, etc. Autocorrect on this computer is terrible as well. It will only take words in a line, not a paragraph, for example. Sheesh.. Any advice???
Meditech
Yes - Have your supervisor get Smartype, which works well with Meditech in Word program or Abbreviate, which is cheaper. I have worked at a local hospital with same problem and they would not put Smartype on, would do nothing to help at all. Good luck, hope you get somewhere, it is like typing with one hand behind your back isn't it? Pain in the neck and takes so much of your time.

Meditech does not count lines. It only counts black characters, no spaces.
