Do they allow you an expansion program or Autocorrect usage? Old posts say they didn't. nm

What is the best expansion software to use
I may be taking a position with them and need to know which program works.
Basic word books, spellchecker, expansion software...$450/500?? nm

This is THE BEST post I have read here all year sm
BRAVO! I could not have said it better myself.
YES you REAP what you SOW!!!!! YOU ARE RIGHT ON THE MONEY.
I am saving this...
I think they changed that rule a year or so ago. They can post.

I could have written your post a year ago. I actually do not hate my job anymore - it's great!

For me I believe it is in the expansion program
It doesn't really matter which one, just USE IT! I don't use it just for reports or canned material, as you said, I do a lot of different accounts and docs. I do use it a TON for words that take time to type!
ie
ttpp as an ow hla wm inad.
26 Keystrokes should be 87:
The patient presents as an otherwise healthy-appearing white male in no acute distress.
See, it's in words, too, not just full sentences.
Hope that helps!
Help on converting expansion
can someone tell me how to convert my expansion file from Medquist so I can use it at MDI??? You can E mail if possible.
Thanks
Have you tried just making the whole thing an expansion?
i.e., make an entry and call it pobid and have it expand to p.o. twice a day. Not sure if that would work in autocorrect but it worked for me in DQS, where we had the same problem. Might be worth a try. I have all those entered...poqd, potid, poqid, poq4h, poq46h, etc.
S/B Yom Kippur - expansion program on!

Is the platform compatible with an expansion
I don't mean using the features in MS-Word (Auto-Text, etc.), but something like Smartype or Shorthand? When I interviewed with them a couple of years ago, I was very impressed with them, but I can't fly without an Expander and there were issues with Lotus not counting expanded text with every expander I asked to use with it. It was only for that reason that I did not accept a position with them.
BB-- any luck with that expansion file? nm

ExText does not have popup box to show expansion
nm
She didn't ask how to steal the expansion program itself
She only wants the expansions which were entered by her and were a product of her intellect. I don't sew myself a nice little dress and then send it on to Singer just because I used their machine.
I just use my autocorrect. nm

Can someone recommend a good text expansion program? Thanks!
nm
Can you use AutoCorrect in VR mode?
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.
With practice and expansion usage, you'll get there! Stop dwelling on the

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
Do you have an Autocorrect feature? You could delete what's

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…
Word Autocorrect to Emdat InScribe
You can use a tool that Emdat has written to convert your Word Autocorrect to InScribe. It can be downloaded from http://www.emdat.com/software, under Support. Also, feel free to call the helpdesk with such questions as well at 630-743-0500.
A contact says she likes it, sound is good, but you have to use autocorrect/text, no other expander

my first year I made 16k. Doubled that second year. Going on year 6 with (sm)
two local accounts I earned 23,000.00 and a national I earned 35,400... 58,400 this year. Don't ask me how many hours, though, I really have no idea. I'm pretty motivated. (When people ask me how many hours I work a week I reply as many as it takes I'd say 40-50/week. I am also a fitness instructer and personal trainer, about 5 hours a week or so. Decent money (sometimes under the table!) but mostly I just do it for fun and to be social and wear cute work-out clothes.
that first year was a rough one... but I consider it part of my education.
I'm pretty motivated.
Last year, there was a letter sent that told us what we earned the previous year. sm
In the past, it has been all or nothing; if you did not hit the lines for full time for the year, you did not get PTO. I talked to my lead this morning about a last-minute vacation and she told me that the yearly packets are going out in a week or so and that the new policy will acrue PTO by the pay period or month. I like that a lot better, but she also made it sound like they are upping the amount of lines needed to acrue PTO. I normally get between 15 and 20,000 lines per pay period, so I am sure that will be fine but I am worried about the periods that have lower volumes, like most of January every year.
Webmedx lets you carry them from year to year sm
You can accrue up to 140 hours (I think) before you stop the accrual process. Don't have to use it all in one year.
I would stick it out, most places are slow now through the end of the year every year (nm)

Last year $36K part time, going to make more this year full time BUT sm
I AGREE it IS getting harder to make money. I used to make $24 very part time 10 years ago and now...well it is Word and platforms versus WP5.1. I got 7.5 cents a byte line then and I get 9.5 cents a character line now. That IS a huge different in point of fact.
OH I WANT MY WORDPERFECT 5.1 BACK!!!!! Bwaaah!
