by Dictaphone with Transnet and ESP is the expansion software incorporated into it. I used this platform when I worked for the hospital. I believe Wordclient is the speech recognition portion of this platform.

Is any one running ExText with Word 2000 and EditScript with Word 2003 sm

I am interested to know if anyone is running two platforms with a different version of Word on one computer.


I am running eScription's ES with Word 2003 and want to run ExText but their version of Word is 2000.  Has anyone done this or doing it now.  If so, have you run into any problems. 


I can't seem to get a straightforward answer from the Techs at either company.    I can't just load ExText and jeopardize it interfering with eScription. 


I am interested to hear any and all comments.  Thank you so much in advance for any help!

Help with Extext/Word

I'm having a problem where when I'm in a word document using Extext, I can't click anywhere in the document. I scroll with the mouse wheel, but I can't click on and move the bar on the right, can't click anywhere in the document. I can only move around by moving the cursor with the arrow keys. I don't have that problem when in a word document outside of Extext... only within Extext. I also don't have that problem on my desktop, but I'm working while out of town this week and am having the problem on my laptop.


Does anyone know if this is just a setting I need to change in word while within Extext or anything? Thanks for any help.


help with ExText/Word
I'm clueless today. I don't know what I did but all of a sudden, my ctl key stopped functioning for ExTEXT! Can anyone help before I totally lose my mind?
I work in EXText with one and just Word with the other. SM

The EXText job is a employee status job I took for benefits.  I work as a remote MT for a 235-bed community hospital.  I would say I do the same 20 docs or so on a weekly basis.  The other account is a dermatology account that is my own and I do three docs there. 


I should add that with the hospital I have a great boss who basically lets us expand everything.  Same with my derm account.  They really don't care, just as long as the works on time and the notes and letters are basically what they said.  No exactly verbatim, but close.


Help with numbering/indents in Word/EXText

Any of you computer smarties out there who can help me out?  I'm new to Word Client and EXText and I'm trying to figure out the least maddening way to set up my lists and numbers.  I already have a great macro for when they dictate 1., 2., 3., etc. so no problem there.  My problem comes in when some of these guys want 1. and then a., b. c.  They want it to be set up like this (hope it comes out right)


1.   text text text


      a.   Text


      b.   Text


2.  Text


      a.  Text.


I can get my a. b. c. macro to look right when I type it as a stand alone macro, but if I have done my 1.2.3. macro and then try to do the a.b.c. underneath the 1, then it scoots the a.  waaaay too far over to the right, to where it is under the second word of the text, not lined up right under the first letter of the text under 1.  Does anyone know of a way to do this that doesn't involve a bunch of time and extra key strokes?  Hope this makes sense trying to explain it, I'm waiting on deliverye of my Word For Dummies book but then had the thought that I have seen computer-related questions answered here before and thought I would give it a shot.  TIA.


EXText Word Client problem
I am using EXText Word Client software with Transnet provided by MTSO for hospital account. I am getting an Exception error when I try to bring up the ExText Word Client (An Exception (0xc0000005) has occurred. A dump file will be generated.) I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software an upgraded but still errors out the same way. Everyone seems to disown the problem. Are there any EXtexters out there that have a fix for this?

Dictaphone EXText Word Client question.

I've been working along and all of sudden I noticed my trans status window is gone.  It's the little window that shows your downloaded jobs waiting to be transcribed/edited.  How do I get the box back without logging out and logging back in?  I'm not sure where it went or how I closed it, but I must have inadvertently clicked something.


Thanks!


How can I install my Dictaphone EXText shorthands in basic word?
Is that possible?  If so how do you do it.  I know what my ShortHand file is named and where it is saved.  I am using basic word a lot and don't want to put everything in under autocorrect by hand.  Thanks for your time!
Part-time work using Extext/word client/dictaphone
Anyone know any companies that are hiring that use this system?  I really want to start part-time and then probably commit to full time later.  I really want a company that supplies your equipment!  Thanks.
It's something in Word, not ExText. Check your Format/Insert/Tools headings. nm

EXText word client blank screen everytime I login
I am using EXText Word Client software with Transnet. I am getting a blank screen everytime I login. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software an upgraded but still errors out the same way. Are there any EXtexters who could help?


True. If someone offers automated software that's integrated with Word, like ExText, ChartScript,

Contact your tech support. The ExText functions are different than MS or Word commands. Are you usin

I simply used the word as the point of reference. If I had referred to someone AS 'that word'

EXText Word Client - blank screen everytime I give "ok" in the DIS screen

EXText word client blank screen everytime I give ok in DIS screen
Thanks your suggestion was very valuable. At a specified time (which the technical side say, when the net speed is very good), it is working without a problem at all (whereas this was half working and half not working before even at this time), but other times, still the same problem exists.

Actually the blank screen comes every time I give "ok" in the DIS screen (patient details info screen).
Microsoft Word.. The oold Word used to do this and I'm new to 2003 Word..nm

Extext

Does anyone like extext?  Any information on Extext would be helpful!  Does anyone like the word Expander better than shorthand?


TIA


Extext
I like Extext a lot and use it with Shorthand also. I didn't even know there was an Expander in Extext until a couple weeks after I started the job. So much for training! No, I don't work for Amphion.
ExTEXT

Is anyone familiar with this program?  I have been offered part time and she asked me if i had a dictaphone, and then said we use extext where it goes directly into the hospital.   Help!! 


Texas - sunny and 78 degrees!


Extext
I HATE ExText. There is NO foundation to build from. You have to start from scratch. I have Smartype which I currently am unable to use with a company I just signed up with, and I'm about ready to quit as ExText is the WORST word Expander I have ever seen. There are NO preloaded words or abbrevs. like there are in SmarType, so starting with the word "a" ... you have to create ALL of your shortcuts off the top of your head. Again, if I'm wrong about ExText, I hope someone will set me right, but for now, I detest it. Sorry; maybe some people like it, but if they do, ask them if they have ever used SmarType or some other Word Expander program.
extext
Thanks for everyone's input... I do use ShortHand now, and am glad i can continue to use it.   Now I KNOW i'm going to take the account! 
Has anyone ever had EXText and VPN

installed on their home computer and discovered that Control T or Control X won't work in Word any more?


If so, does anyone know how to fix it?  I really need help here and can't get it from anyone. 


i use extext
to stop expanding, i.e. if I just want PT, I've just created new "expansions". I create PTx for PT, MRSAx for MRSA, etc. It's much quicker.
ExText

I work on ExText, and have previously work on DQS;


Yes, it has a spellchecker (mine does anyway) and expander.  As compared to DQS, they are comparable...not really much difference that I can say right off the top of my head. For me, the program really doesn't seem to make a huge difference, it's more the dictators that seem to make the most difference, as well as the company you work for.  My company happens to be great! Loads of work, plenty of incentive, and nice nice supervisors and QA. I love it!!!


EXText
I am so glad I could help. I have been using EXT for about 5 years now and I did the same thing with the Control/T when I first started using it!! Its a great program. I wouldn't use anything else.
Extext
I agree with poster below and am wondering the same thing - why are you using Ctrl T??? That ends your documement you are working on.
EXText
You cannot access voice unless the company has given you listening rights, which is usually not available on the MT side .. only QA.
I mean exText nm

HELP WITH EXTEXT
I had made macros to enlarge my view to 145% (Alt-B) while I type, and then another macro to shrink it down to 100% (Alt-S) before I send document.  All of a sudden, these macros will not work!  They have been working for months.  ANY SUGGESTIONS?
EXText

Ours is set up so that you have to search for the correct patient and correct encounter number. Hit select and that patient's name should come up on the demographics screen. When you open the document, the name should be changed to the correct one.


If the correct patient is not in your system, you have to create a new encounter.

I checked my manual-nothing about deleting, but you can edit them: CTL R, select normal, then ALT T, edit, and CTL N to close. Hope this helps.
ExText
I use ExText and I can use my autocorrects etc... from MS Word. They have their own Expander in the program but I used my MS Word as I already had them all saved there. I didn't find it a hard program to learn at all. Hope this helps.
ExText

I use ExText.  Easy program to learn.  Great for searching for previous documents, etc.  It has its own Expander but you don't have to use it.  It is built-in, so if you leave the company you lose everything in it.  It supports the other expander programs just fine.  You can also make normals and save them in ExText in a different mode than in their expander.  There has been some talk here of low line counts with it (which I tend to agree with) and you may want to research that a bit, but they say it is the company you work for that programs how the lines/characters are counted and not the fault of ExText. 


Good luck to you!


ExText
I agree it's very "user friendly' and I am quite technically challenged so for me to say this, it really is!  I have only used a couple other platforms but this is definitely my favorite - very easy to use.  
Another Fan of EXText

I use it now and I love it.  I started out on eScription/EditScript and that was a breeze.  I was afraid EXText would be difficult, but it's very user-friendly and easy to adapt.  I don't care for the ESP, but EXText works great with my Instant Text.


One of my favorite features is the search.  If you don't know a doctor's name but can get the first 3-4 letters, you can type those letters and a ? and the search will give you a list.


ExText
All of a sudden my sentences are indenting.  I probably hit something I didn't mean to but how do I get the report be flush left again?  
Extext
Anybody out there work from home for a hospital, not a service,  as an employee using Dictaphone ExText, transnet and speech?  I'd like to ask  a few questions.  Thanks.
don't use EXText but...
I have seen this happen before in word when revising some hospital bilaws. They were typed in an outline format and if you tried to add back in it would type straight through the right margin. What is the Alt command you are using? Agree with previous poster, it may be in your company template. Are you starting in the header by any chance?
ExText
I used to work at Dictaphone and used speech. Now I work from home as a subcontractor for Nuance (they bought Dictaphone recently) for a hospital. I have not used speech since becoming a subcontractor but am hoping it is coming along soon. I can try to answer your questions. E-mail away if you like.
extext esp help please!!!

Hi,  New to this!!!!


Other than ctrl, ctrl, is there an easier way to use the ESP on Extext?  If I highlight what can I do after that to do it faster? 


Also, if I'm creating one....how do I set it up???  ....example..... {bold on}HISTORY AND PHYSICAL: 


Thanks!!!!


extext
Depending on the day, I have had problems with extext disconnecting in the middle of a report, dump file errors etc.  If I were being paid by the hour or paid for downtime it would not be a big deal.  However, yesterday I had to reboot my computer 3 times (wasted like 45 minutes... that I was not getting paid for).  I have Verizon DSL..  When it works, it's fine...  I think it's slow to open and retrieve reports, but like I say, it is the down time that's the problem.  I have an older Dell 2002 computer, so maybe that's it...  Anyway, I am not crazy about Extext.
EXText help
I can't get my Auto Text in Word to function properly, the box that needs checked "correct as you type" always ends up unchecked all by itself and I have to re-check it to get it to work.  I have started from scratch creating ESP files, but I like some of the aspects of the Auto Text in Word.  Does anyone know how to fix this if it has happened to you?  Thanks in advance.
ExText
I've only used ExText for about a month, but I like it a lot. I can easily transcribe 1200 lines/65 characters. I am not working on their speech program so I cannot comment on that.
ExText
We currently have the ExText at the hospital where I work.  I can easily get more than 1200+++ lines a day.  But, and this is a BIG BUT.  We are currently using their speech recognition program, Nuance.  I have been working with this for 1 1/2 months and currently get 600 lines in an 8-hr day.   I am doing nothing but draft text right at the moment.  Hopefully, my line count will go up when we type what comes up, speech or no speech.  It is very frustrating.  The system doesn't seem to be working properly and there is "too much" editing on our part.  Think something is wrong with it.   Good thing we get paid by the hour!
Extext
Did you remember to click the save box? I would change the settings and then forget to click the box to save it.
Extext
Yes the company I work for, Alphamed Solutions. They are hiring right now too. I don't do VR just straight transcription but I have heard they have VR accounts.
How do you like ExText?
A pain, easy, pedal types...any info appreciated.
ExText
I have used it before...and I liked it....
