What is the key command to

I saw it awhile back but can't find it now.


TY here, too. Would I be able to disable that w/ just a key command?

the command to slow down
.
In Extext, is there a keyboard command
to slow down or speed up dictation? I'm trying to retrain myself to keep hands on keyboard, but I keep having to slow down and speed up different dictators. I have the little control open on my desktop, but it seems to require the mouse to change the speed. Is that right?
You have to create it with the bold command

You can still use WP 5.1 on Win XP computers. Just go to the command prompt and install it. nm

I would contact your highest in command. A medical
record is a legal document and could potentially contain info that would contribute to a life/death situation.   If I were in a position of authority she would be gone yesterday. 
Goodness, if you didn't know about the command feature, you really need to
spend some time on the Productivity Talk board for tons of ideas.
You need to use the command feature of IT when you make your entry sm
Copy and insert your text into a new IT entry. Now go back thru the entry and each time you want a field to be placed, you have to hit the "command" button on the bottom left of the window. Then hit CTRL+F9 to create a world field (this will make the little bracket thingies when it spits out in Word). When you're all done, hit OK and there you go!
I agree we should have a command of the English language...sm
I do. This is from the American Heritage Book of English usage in regard to collective nouns. You see, I also have a degree in English and also taught. I do know the rules for collective nouns.

"Some nouns refer to a group but are singular in form. These nouns are called collective nouns. In American usage, a collective noun takes a singular verb when it refers to the collection considered as a whole."
Volume Setting Command for Transnet/ExText

Anyone there who knows how to "permanently" set the volume for Transnet/ExText speech?  I know to double-click on the volume icon to raise the volume for "Each Report", but not how to do it "permanently".  I did it once by accident, but with recent upgrades, it wiped it out again.  Anyone?  Thanks! 


Last time I checked, even MTs use the English language and we should have a command

of that language and that includes all the rules and regs taught from gradeschool on up.  Now, it's totally up to you if you choose to be an AHDI robot.  I acknowledge that a lot of MTSOs use the BOS as their guideline and if you work for those MTSOs, then you are obligated to follow "their" rules if you want your paycheck, but that does not mean that the rule book is correct.  Quite simply, it is not.  A group of retired MTs got together, had a meeting, and decided to make up a set of rules.  Then they had a really fantastic marketing team that set out to market those rules as the end-all, be-all of medical transcription.  They definitely found a willing audience for the crap they were peddling and they capitalized on it.  I guess that's the American dream -- making a bundle of money of a bunch of suckers willing to pay, no questions asked.  


I, however, choose to buck the system.  I'm a noncomformist, I guess.  I earned my bachelor's in English before I decided to become an MT.  I believe it's important to be able to express oneself articulately and intelligently using the written word.  I dislike what texting, email, and chat rooms have done to the English language (witness above post "wannbe MT ur opinions..."!!!!!).


Oh well, that's just me.  I work for a hospital that could care less about the AHDI and its BOS.  In my spare time, I wage my anti-BOS and anti-AHDI campaign in the hopes that MTs will wise up and MTSOs will too.


Set up your tabs first - then use the hanging indent command Ctrl+T
xx
Just create a command entry and use a short form that's fast to type. sm
This will bypass the Extext command. Make sure you put the trailing underscore at the end of your entry so you won't get an extra space from your marker key. Your entry will look like this:

{command}{Alt.}_

Any Stedman SmartType users? Pros & Cons? Will it retain bold formatting without using DOS command

spellcheck...
I can't end my document without running spellcheck. Yes, the incorrect spellings are underlined, but I don't always go back right then and correct them. But, when I end my document, spellcheck runs automatically. Even if it didn't, I'd run it just to be sure! Have a wonderful day!!!
Need help with spellcheck, please!
Does anyone know how to do this:   When in Windows Explorer, when you select say five documents to open, to have them all spellchecked as they open?  I have tried to find this information, but haven't been able to do so and have also tried to create a macro to do it.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks much and Happy Holidays!
I mean ALT S (not Alt-C) will be spellcheck hot key
nm
That is what your spellcheck is for. (nm)

Try F7 (brings you to top of page), Ctrl F1

Why do you need your spellcheck so BADLY?
spellcheck...
This makes sense, thank you.
new job - no medical spellcheck

Hi all ... yesterday I started a new job - hospital MT, decent pay, great location. But guess what - the program is so old there is no medical spellcheck in it!  And the old lady that works the other shift, who's had the job for light years, does not use the AutoCorrect feature of MSWord!  The boss told me feel free to use it (thank God) - but can you imagine that?????   Any advice ? 


Thanks guys!


oh yes, I always spellcheck anyway, even if I have already corrected something. nm
.
Absolutely - a MUST to run spellcheck! nm
x
Maybe your spellcheck is outdated?
and theirs is not?
spellcheck in word

I am working on a VR system doing editing - however when I run the spellcheck anything that has been changed shows up with all of the incorrect letters wherever they happened to be along with the correct word or phrase that has been corrected.  In other words if the word is not spelled correctly, I erase the word and type in the correct spelling, but in the spell check both show up.  Does anyone know how to turn off this function or if there is a way to turn it off?  It is driving me crazy - along with trying to learn to edit and the VR system.  Other than that - all is fine with the program.


 


 


messes up spellcheck
Yes, it can. Been there. My spellcheck even on slow check was skipping everything.
They don't spellcheck? - not cool - sm
I briefly go over my work (try to proof as I type) before I send it in, but always spellcheck. If it is in Word it should come up with a big red underline so they should see they have it wrong. If they are so lazy that they cannot go back over their work 1 time, then yeah I would get rid of them. As suggested below, give them 30-days or whatever of probation and if they don't clean up their act (and work) then let them go.
if F-Lock key is on, then Alt C is spellcheck
nm
I had that keyboard and F7 was for spellcheck, but....
You can change your F10 for shorthand. I used to use the number pad because I didn't use it for numbers. You might try that. I think I just used the number 5.
Medical Spellcheck
Thank you, I did check there, and the strange thing is, the custom dictionary is there and I checked inside and it's the medical dictionary, but it's not working. I'm putting a call into the tech. I can't believe he didn't think to look there. Of course, I probably should have figured that out myself. LOL.
Sylvan spellcheck
Had a free 30-day(?) trial. Also bought Instant Text after resisting for many years. Now I love it. Worth every penny.
Spellcheck - meditech
It is shift F9
Spellcheck - Stedman's
We use Stedman's throughout our service and require it of all of our ICs as well.
Actually, spellcheck wouldn't catch it because
there, they're, and their are all correct spellings.
Here is a novel idea. Use your spellcheck software
begin with.
What is the best medical spellcheck software?
I am currently looking into medical spellcheck and medical dictionary.  Does anybody have suggestions as to what is the best and most comprhensive?
Oh my, forgot to spellcheck, didn't I?!
silly me!!!!
MTStars spellcheck help - I just installed it and
do not see the "checkmark" button at the top with my other browser buttons.  How do I access the spellcheck?  It is installed and shows as a program on my list of programs.  Help!!!!
spellcheck does not pick up preposition

There's PLENTY that spellcheck doesn't pick up - punctuation errors, possible omissions of prepositions and other words.....


So, if you strictly depend on Spellcheck - you're not ALL THERE!!!  *lol*


I'd never leave anything 100 percent up to some machine or program/software/hardware, et al. 


ExText - can it be set to not spellcheck demographics?
Every time I complete a report, spellchecker spellchecks the demographics section, which is not necessary. If you hit the wrong button, sometimes it will mess up the demographics on the report, although it doesn't tell you that you did anything wrong. Does anybody know if spellcheck can be set to only check the document and not the footer information?
Yes, because you do the jobs and they get sent off as soon as you spellcheck and the next one shows
s
type as said, and use spellcheck (sentence)
nm
Proof as I type and during spellcheck...sm

Throughout the day pick random reports to read completely just to check up on myself.  My QA scores are always well above the required 98%.  I could not get the line counts I do if I reread everything. 


Does anyone know if you can use Stedman's Spellcheck with Bayscribe? nm
nm
If you run Spellcheck and have lots of shortcuts

that should cut down considerably on your need for proofing. Besides increasing your speed, shortcuts increase your accuracy, too, because the words are preprogrammed to be spelled correctly.


I don't work for one of the companies you describe but I have always proofed as I go and I don't go back and reread the report unless I am very tired, because I am particularly mistake-prone then.


Stop with the backspacing and let spellcheck
x
I had to work without a spellcheck for a few weeks once.. .
We couldn't get it loaded onto my computer and it was miserable. I looked up everything because I was so worried about spelling something wrong. If you are paid on production, I would tell them no thanks! Even if you have good reference books, it will take up a lot of time. I hope they can figure out a way to get a spellcheck on your computer! Good luck!
Can you install Stedman's Spellcheck on both
I have never used Stedman's Spellchecker before (just Dorland's) and am wondering if it is possible to buy it and install it on both MS Word and Word Perfect.

Thanks!!!!
Expanderic needs to do spellcheck....lots of
