Serving Over 20,000 US Medical Transcriptionists

Actually no sm

I use Smart Type and I am well aware that I have shortcuts that aren't really shortcuts. There are many, many things that I can type just a few letters (1 or 2 or 3) and get the word I want. I also have over 20,000 expansions. NONE of them are set to a given doctor or hospital. I don't look for anything very long and prefer to have combinations of terms instead.

Right now, I have gone from OP notes all day, all the time to primarily cardio. I had a great many expansions for it from a time when I did more cardio and I don't have to think or remember any of those, they just roll off the fingers. I don't remember my expansions at all, but my brain types in the patterns for the shortcuts and that is how I find a cross over, or one that is already in there.

That said, my Is, As, Cs and Ss are pretty well out of things I can do at this point, they will all cross overs. I have enough, I suspect, that I don't need them anyway.

Oh, and speed is never a problem. Still at about 260 to 350 lph, depending on my transcription software. One runs really fast and the other less so. Also, I am still a breeze on OPs and having a bit of a learning curve with the cardio just yet and working on speed only right now.
