I just started on the Bayscribe platform and the tech person could not transfer my ESP list, which is from EXText, a Word-based program.  Does anyone know if it is possible to transfer this?  I thought I heard of someone doing this in the past and I don't want to give up yet.

Thanks!

I just noticed when the word Expander box is open, in tiny print underneath the bottom expansion box, it lists your number of entries and also the ratio of Keystrokes to expansions.  wondering how my expansions compare to yours in that ratio part -- mine is 5:1  --- funny how I can have brought up this box to add them so many times and never even noticed it!

Call Instant Text and find out how to do this.

I think there is actually a way to back your macros up to the server.  If you go to the README file in your Bayscribe folder, it should give you a list of shortcuts and one of them is how to back up to their server.  I must preface this by saying I tried this once because I was trying to use a laptop and transfer my macros from my desktop to the laptop, but it did not work for me. So, I would just suggest going to your Bayscribe folder, finding the abbv.txt (I believe that is the title), openning the file and either copying them to a disk or e-mail the file to yourself and keep it in you saved folder.  That way, you will always have them. 

Hope that helps.

for dictation and another program, like Radnet, for the transcription.  I'm looking for a word Expander to use with RadNet and Bayscribe.  I've been using Shorthand, but having some problems and I'm wondering if the ShortHand interferes with Bayscribe since it has a built-in expander that I'm not using since the transcription is done in another program.  Any suggestions??

any one work with BayScribe software.. just wondering how the platform is. thanks

 I have even been given a new account number. 

The tools will not come up when I am in IE at all when I hit ctrl F3.  When I go through Start button to program files and hit productivity tools it is just a link to the Bayscribe question and answer page.  They just plain are not on my system at all.  I am not on IE7.  I have tried everything I can think of.

Thanks for the ideas though!!

I imported my MSW AutoCorrect file into Bayscribe but a lot of it will not work.  For instance, in MSW I use YO as the expansion for -year-old, but this now will not work after a number nor will YO work after a number followed by a hyphen either.  Seems it only will work after a space.  Any idea how to design an expansion that will work after a number or hyphen without a space in between? 

Also, all the capitalizations I built in for headers get reversed to lower case when I follow them with a colon and I have resigned myself to having to re-enter all of those. Any Bayscribe experts who can shed some light?

Turn off the Expander in BayScribe and get InstantText!  :O)

What do you all think of this?  Want to know the good, bad, indifferent.  I am getting ready to train on this platform and just am wondering how it really is. 

Heeeeeeeeeelp!!!!

Suddenly, out of nowhere (maybe they just upgraded?) the "doctor roster" comes up in this little tiny box in the corner all of a sudden--not the big box in the center I'm used to.  OK fine..I find the doctor name I'm looking for in the list (to put in the ADT screen) and I have no idea how to do this!  Before you hit A or enter or whatever and the name would automatically go into the ADT screen (this after I hit the little DR box)...

What happened?? I have a whole night's work ahead of me and no one to call.  Please, anyone!!!!

I had to reload my Bayscribe tools and cannot remember for the life of me how to reset the settings so that the first letter after a period isn't always capitalized. 

Any Bayscribe wizards out there who can tell me where/how to do this? 

TIA!!!!!! 

and I still use my Smartype.  It doesn't import to Bayscribe.  Instant Text does, but I hated that.  Anyhoo, what ended up working for me was to type the document in Word and then cut and paste into Bayscribe.  I created a macro that selects and copies the document for me so I just have to paste it.

It's not a solution that would work for everyone, but it works for me.

using my "wav" program my sound was muffled too.

Go into control panel and under multimedia go to playback and using the pull down menu change your device.   Try each device to see if it helps any.  You may need to reboot with each change.
