MTStars FlashType has a free demo and if you like it, it is
EXTREMELY reasonably priced as compared to others on the market. It works like pretty much like PC Shorthand, but is more cost effective. See the link below.

There's a reason it's cheaper (sm)
"Bright Start and Mentored Internship will prepare you to work at the ENTRY LEVEL of medical transcription. This is what is required for a "newbie" position in a CLINICAL setting. However, THEY CONTAIN NO ADVANCED DICTATIONS, SO IT DOES NOT PREPARE YOU TO TRANSCRIBE WORK OF GREATER COMPLEXITY."
This means that you will only be qualified to obtain the easiest, lowest-paying jobs, not acute care, hospital work, operative notes, etc.
BIG reason it's cheaper
Read the WHOLE Bright Starts page, allie. You're thinking the basic program is the same you'll get at any school. Wrong!
Everything listed on that BS cost page is what you'll get at either M-Tec or Andrews. Only Andrews and M-TEC are $3800 or less FOR THE WHOLE PACKAGE. Their grads can get any job after either program.
BS will run you $4600 minimum for same with no evidence of getting a job with anybody but themselves.
That's cheaper than AAMT. Is a 3-part test, too?

Is Career Step Cheaper Than Mtec?
I can't find how much courses are on their website. Does anyone know how much tuition is at Career Step?
Career Step is cheaper than Mtec I think
And aren't they both considered "Big 3"?
Supposedly Career Step can be done in 3 months if you really go at it full time. That seems awfully fast to me though.
Price for M-TEC
Why don't you just give them a call and have all of your questions answered by them? Everyone there is very friendly, honest, and will take the time to explain things to you.
gotta wonder why it's 1/2 price

There are quite a few and range in price - sm,
Stedman's Smartype, Instant Text, Shorthand, and one or two others I think. I have used ShortHand and Smartype. I prefer the Smartype as it comes loaded with medical terms, etc., the Shorthand doesn't from what I remember. They run $90-$200 depending on which one you buy. I believe you can get free trials, so that would be the way to try them out and see which one you like the best. I have heard that IT is harder to learn and get used to, but as I have not tried it I really don't know. They really do help though, I know I am at least 30-40% faster because of my word expander.
That person just wanted the price!
Why are you so negative? All that person was asking for was the price of the course. M-Tec will not say that this is a job in which you can get rich fast. Everybody has their own story, and this goes for every type of job. M-TEC does offer top notch training. They also have a great reputation which will open the doors to a job as a "newbie." The rest is up to you. It is up to you how hard you study and how high your GPA is. Like in other jobs, the higher the GPA, the more opportunities you will receive. Of course you will have the learning curve in the beginning and might not make much money. You might only make 6 cents per line in the beginning. Anybody who is informed knows that anything is possible because so many factors play a role. There are great companies to work for, and there are companines that take advantage of their employees. You will find the same problems in the MT world as you will in other jobs. What is different is that you can work from home which save you time, money, aggravation. If you live in a rural area where there aren't many jobs, then being an MT, working from home, offers you opportunities you otherwise would not have had. If you do not like what you are doing, then maybe you need to get a different job. Why waste your time on a job you obviously do not like? For sure, you should not respond like you did to a simple question about the price of a course.
ICS will NOT teach you enough to get a job. Don't be suckered in by the low price. nm

Maybe not full price, I agree. But some companies are
.
I found this nextag site: price 5.99 to 44.50:
http://www.nextag.com/Microsoft-Word-2003-60348100/prices-html
(Here's the page I came off of to get to the "prices" URL: http://www.nextag.com/microsoft-word-2003/search-html . It has various MS Word 2003 packages. You might check it out also.)
I agree Shorthand is great
I use ShortHand it is the best investment I made
Word expander Shorthand
Can anyone tell me if the word Expander program of ShortHand works well with Editscript? If not or if there is another program that will work well, would you please comment and let me know? I am ready to make this purchase and I work on the Editscript platform. What I'd like to know is what you like and dislike about the program and how difficult it is to install, learn and use.
Before anyone posts to tell me to do a search, please know that I have searched and have not been able to find this kind of information. I just don't have much money and don't want to waste money on a program that may not suit my needs. So, your honest comments on how well this program works for you as an MT, particularly on that platform, would be very helpful and appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Shorthand will give you a free 30
day trial to try it out. After 30 days, if you choose to buy it, it'll cost about $100.00. It's pretty good.
Good luck.
ShortHand is another good one. I didn't like IT; not simple enough for me! nm

ShortHand is very good and not complicated to learn. nm

I personally love ShortHand for Windows

Shorthand versus Instant text
Looking for a great word Expander to work with. I am clueless at this point as to what is out there and how they even work. I have had ShortHand and Instant Text suggested to me, but not sure which one will be better.
Thanks for your help.
New To MTStars
Hey!
I am a CS student and I am currently in the Editing and Proofreading section. Boy is it hard  . I am working my way through it. I will soon be beginning Clinic Notes Transcription. I can hardly wait  .
I better get back to my studies.
Thank you for having me here! 
I find that lots of companies are using ShortHand these days.
They have a 30-day trial.
Try MTStars Expanderic.

Actually, the MTStars resume board seems as appropriate ...(sm)
I just went over there and tried to access the resumes, and you have to pay (a nice fee, too) in order to access any personal information other than your name, your experience, your general location (which I'm sure you can leave as just "Colorado" or whatever), and your desired line rate. No address, phone number, or any other contact information is available without paying the fee ($50 is the lowest), so someone would have to REALLY want that information in order to get it. This makes it no different than the MTJobs site.
