MTEC - Which option to choose if I am already a transcriptionist, but
have never had any schooling. I have just been trained on the job and feel that this keeps me from getting the better paying jobs. Which option would be best for me to choose?
Yes, the download does let you choose which version.

Shorthand allows you to choose which key SM
you want to expand with and to set a lot of other preferences too (I use the space bar). Probably the other top-line ones do too.
As for best? People tend to fall in love with whichever they have and will be happy to tout it. I like Shorthand's simplicity of use, with many sophisticated features available in the background for those who want them. InstantText is another very good one with apparently all the bells and whistles the market has to offer these days. Its users swear by it. Do note that the "Windows ShortHand Word Expander," Expanderic, is a new program and is not Shorthand.
Typehow you want, c&p to shorthand & choose

People have options and have a right to choose what works for them
It's a shame for the people in that office, but it happens.
{@KEY BkSp}-pack-per-year is for Shorthand. Using the semicolon works with both Shorthand and
;yo = -year-old
;py= -pack-year
etc...
I would suggest that several of you choose a time and day to meet in chat. That usually works

Any ExText version I've used has come from a net download, never a disk, and

You don't need to close Word after checking the auto numbering option. It works right away. nm

ShortHand 30 day trial download
http://www65.pair.com/lim/shorthand/dnload.html
FYI, you can download a 30 day trial of Shorthand
to use until you buy something.
http://www65.pair.com/lim/shorthand/
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.

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

Shorthand to ExText
Is there a way to copy Shorthand to ExText?
TIA
Can Shorthand be used with EXText?
Hospital is switching over to EXText next month and I'm worried! Without my ShortHand I might as well go work at McDonalds!
I use shorthand and not ExText and...
I get the same problem. You don't even have to close shorthand. You just have to use an abbreviation and let it spell it out in all caps, go back and delete that word, and then you should be able to start typing regular again. Must be a glitch in ShortHand program...
When you go to the Shorthand website and click on the link to download and....
click save and save it to your jump drive. Once you've downloaded the file. Open up your jump drive, double click on the download to install. At the point in the installation where it asks you what folder to install ShortHand (it usually defaults to c:programs files or whatever. You click browse to change to the destination to your jump drive (for example, mine is E: on my computer). Then install like normal. Now the program will be installed on your jump drive instead of your C drive. Then when you want to run shorthand, you simply plug in your jump drive, open it up and click on the shorthand icon to start the program.
Problem with Shorthand in ExText... help!
For some reason I have just recently starting having an issue where my caps are locking while working in ExText, and I was able to isolate it to Shorthand. (When it happens if I bring ShortHand up and then hide it again, the problem clears). It doesn't happen outside of ExText. What is strange is that the first few weeks I was working in ExText it wasn't a problem, but now it is happening with increasing frequency. And toggling caps lock and shift won't clear it, I have to bring up SH to clear it.
Anyone else run into this problem, or maybe just have a thought on why this would be happening? TIA!
I use ShortHand with ExText. Just open it first and minimize. nm

Shorthand is far superior to that expander for extext

The Sted's works with just about anything, as does the ExText. No probs w/the

Not on dial-up, but use ExText. I just keep my own Shorthand program open and minimized and use it

Shorthand works.

ShortHand works just like that. $100. And you can try it out first.

Shorthand works wonderfully with DQS

Shorthand, I believe works in all Windows
programs. It works in my email, etc. so should work in Works also
I use Shorthand. It works great in there. sm
The Scribe platform is easy to use once you are used to it. My lines have doubled in the past two months. I use Shorthand for EVERYTHING.
Go to www.pcShorthand.com. There is a trial version.
Shorthand is by far the best expander and works with everything. nm

ShortHand is up to version 9, at least, now, as it's what I have. Maybe v.10 is in the works?? nm
s
Shorthand works with Mysis
Haven't tried any others but I use SH with it.
Yes, Shorthand works with Meditech.
I have only worked in one version of Meditech, Meditech Magic, and it is easy to use. There are other versions, though. I'm sure they are easy also.
Just make sure you get a list of what the function keys do in your version.
Shorthand works everywhere in Windows.
Can't speak for that platform specifically... but ShortHand for Windows works everywhere, including e-mail, instant messaging, and every other place that you type. They even have a 30-day free trial so you can download and test it out before laying out the $$.
Try opening up ShortHand before log in. Works with other systems like that. nm

FlashType works just like ShortHand except is cheaper.

Shorthand works for me on message boards. nm

MTStars FlashType works just like Shorthand and is $59.95.
see link below
Shorthand works with every program, it works outside the program you use, does not interfere.

Shorthand works great with DQS and is half the price

Try FlashType, it works just like Shorthand but is half the price.
see link below
It is an older DOS-type environment - works well with Shorthand. sm
Lots of menus, especially in radiology, but ShortHand helps you get through them very quickly is you write macros to just stop where you need to.
It can be very productive with good line counts if you are paid by the line.
Personally, I loved it, but that was because I did very well with our incentive program on it.
MTStars FlashType works just like Shorthand and costs less.
It also works on Vista. See link below.
FlashType works much like Shorthand, is cheaper, & significantly increases your

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.
FlashType is cheaper and works equally as well as Shorthand and has a free demo.

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

Download Express Scribe, it's free, when you download the voice files you will listen to....
them in Express Scribe and you can set your footpedal up. I forget where the downloaded files go, can't remember if you can put them where you want them but I would have to search for them to download to Express Scribe - maybe someone else can tell you how. It is much better than what you are doing.
I have never found a program shorthand does not work with, it works outside the program (I think tha
