They also have windows to work in.
They also offer 12-hour windows for an 8-hour shift or 10-hour windows for a 7-hour shift.  That's pretty flexible in my book! 
I use ShortCut for Windows also...

I found it simpler to use than ShortHand (I also had downloaded the free trial and decided not to buy).  BUT with ShortCut I have problems having it expand words.  I called tech support and he said to turn off AutoCorrect in any programs I have running (I had to re-do my Expanders from AutoCorrect to ShortCut but I'm sure if I had wanted to spend the time I could have copied them from AC to SC).  Tech also said to open ShortCut BEFORE any other programs.


Anyways, sometimes ShortCut will not expand a word.  I then have to use backspace up to the last letter of the previous word, then space, then type the short form.  It will expand if I do this.  That is extra Keystrokes that should be unnecessary. 


Bottom line, for me is.....I use ShortCut because it is simple to use and I did not have time to learn a new Expander program.


Maybe ANON has fixed this on his/her program.  Would like to know.


They do have 12-hour windows, but
it all depends on the account you work on.  the only shift they have open right now is 2nd.
They also recommend ShortCut for Windows. nm

Windows XP - do you have to do the Microscoft upgrade? (sm)

I've heard it's flawed and am afraid to do the time change upgrade.  Will it show that all the reports I do are an hour ahead?  I work on Ex-Text.


Short Cut for Windows and Webmedx
Does anyone know if Short Cut for Windows is compatible with Webmedx's Enterprise program?  Hoping to take it with me when I leave the Q............
new computer -Windows Vista sm
Will I have trouble finding a company that can use this??  TIA
Definately shorthand for windows---sm
This is hands down the best Expander I have ever used. If it works with the platform I work on (dinosaur) it will work on anything, or with anything. here is a direct link to website to download:

you can have a 30 day free trial. If you wish to purchase after 30 days, you have several options for payment. I chose 29.99 a year with free upgrades. I don't know of any other expander software out there that could beat that in performance or price, and I have tried quite a few...InstanText, Smarttype, etc. I am extremely happy with ShortHand and cannot say enough about it. It works just like autotext and is so easy. give it a shot!
Is your MTSO ready for Windows 7 when it comes

Need tips for converting PRD for DOS to Shortcuts for Windows, please. sm

How can I best start "cleaning up" a copy of my beloved PRD for DOS  to make for a less-hassle conversion to Shortcut for Windows?  Many of the headers in my PRD have special DOS characters for bolding, and I don't think they will be useable.   For many of my glossary entries, I use slash marks (i.e., cad/ for coronary artery disease).  Are the slash marks a problem in Shortcut?  If so,  what's a good character to substitute (a "q" maybe??).  Thanks for any suggestions.  I'm trying to make this conversion in a month just a tiny bit sane.


Ever been fired from Keystrokes because of Windows Vista?
I just spent $1000 on all new equipment including a new computer with Windows Vista which is what they recommended as their program is compatible with Vista. When the computer tech had to spend hours on my computer getting it to work with Vista, a certain administrator let me go because it wouldn't work for their account.  I am in tears.  I've never been fired from a job, especially for something that I was asked to do to work for them.

Does anyone know if ChartScript is compatible with Windows Vista?
I just ordered a new HP laptop with Windows Vista, and I was wondering if anyone knows if the ChartScript.net platform will run on Vista without any problems. I want to be able to take my laptop with me when I travel so that I can work on the road.
They flew out the MTSOs' and the hospitals' windows
BTW - Ever hear of that old,
'He who casts the first stone' saying?
Ex-Spheris MT, HITS is a windows-based application...

you will type in.  It is very, very user friendly.  Frankly, it is the only aspect I miss about working for Healthscribe/Spheris.  Good luck!!


Question for Escriptionist. I need a new computer. All the new ones have Windows Vista. Is this
compatible with the EditScript platform. Seems I have read that some platforms are not compatible with the new Windows Vista, yet that is all I am finding when computer shopping.
I had that happen and had to play them in Windows media player-nm

Okay.. I've tried Windows Media and Real Player.. nothing.. still saying I need codecs.
I've never had this problem playing a test before. I am not sure what the deal is. I hate to give up .. but...
Which shortcut program works best with Windows-based Meditech?nm

You must be psychic. I just ended up going on Ebay today and bought a Dell with Windows XP on it.
I originally went through Dell directly but they charged $400 more for the same computer because they were customizing it with Windows XP as now all the computer came standard with Vista. Apparently not so customized..haha.. better deals on Ebay.. I LOVE EBAY..
