I have mine in autocorrect as yo. Autocorrect with
expand the abbreviation after a hyphen...so if I type 41-yo it auto expands to 41-year-old
This field has changed in the outsource mode
You cannot deny this field has changed drastically. I have about as much time under my belt as you do.

What I've found in the current status quo is that people just take off, because they are not given adequate time to rest or realistic time to have a life outside of their jobs, which was not the old standard. Managers were once familiar with the job, knew their MTs and knew what was productive and what was counter-productive and worked with their MTs as a team to produce. We were recognized as people. What I see now is MTs being thrown on any work at any time with unrealistic expectations and few boundaries. I've seen speed take over quality, rather than a combined blend that achieves the goal. I do not consider that whining, but fact. I am not a job-jumper but I certainly cannot stomach what I'm seeing now as employment via MTSOs in this field and am going back to the old standard. The hospital I'm getting ready to start working for has told me they are getting a lot of experienced MTs who are absolutely fed up with the MTSO business and grateful to be back; you can bet they're happy about it, too.

Granted, I do hear some who have never worked in the structure of a facility unrealistically think they can work with small children around or believe they will somehow be more free working from home (which we all know is not true). But I also see a huge trend of this profession going toward the old sewing factory days/sweatshops that shockingly reminds me of an industrial revolution of expendable drones.

Nor do I agree that union members don't whine. Any time people get unhappy enough in any field they whine until they get sick of whining and then do something different. I see all the whining as a wake-up call for change in this field and believe it is coming.

I just use my autocorrect. nm

Not autocorrect. I know those work. How did you
They've never worked for me in BT and I was told autotext can't be converted in BT. 
It comes with Shorthand or use autocorrect.
I like the system
AutoCorrect should be the least of your problems
You will spend most of your time doing data entry which you won't be paid for. Amphion uses Dictaphone EXtext which has it own Expander program called ESP. AutoCorrect is not compatible with it. However the bigger problem is you will have to add all the patient data if you have an account that doesn't interface with the facility and most of the time newbies are stuck with this account. You will do a lot of busy work and won't be paid for it. Wish you a lot of luck though but Amphion didn't work for me.
I personally think Autocorrect is as good as anything.
I don't even bother with Shorthand
AutoCorrect is not compatible with Extext ESP

re: AutoCorrect/Instant Text
I, too, have used AutoCorrect exclusively for the last 2 years and have been able to do very well on my line counts; however, after some recent research into Instant Text I ordered it (and actually just received today).  While I have not had time to use it yet, I really like the fact that it has WAY more capability than AutoCorrect.  I can't wait to experiment with it and believe it will prove to be a worthy investment when I learn all of its possible functions.
Autocorrect entries into Emdat?
How can I get my MS Word autocorrect entries into Emdat Inscriber without having to enter them all over again?  Thanks

How do you put this in AutoCorrect? Wouldn't shorthand work the same way?

Faster, easier, and more reliable than Autocorrect.

chartscript and importing autocorrect entries

Can someone tell me how (if even possible) to import my autocorrect entries from MS WORD to the chartscript expander?  I am using ShortHand in there now and it is driving me CRAZY as 90% of the time it partially expands the words..  Guess I could import the entries from shorthand if that is easier…
