Shorthand will work with Cerner, but... SM
your hospital IT department will probably tell you it won't work and you will probably also be told you cannot load personal software on hospital-owned equipment. There is a way around this, however. If you have a jump/flash drive you can download the SH program for their website when asked where to save the download file, choose your jump drive (it is drive F: on my PC, maybe different on yours).
Once the file is downloaded, open up your jump drive and double click on the install icon. When you get to the step of the installation that asks where you want to install the program (usually defaults to C:programs) change that to your jump drive. Then install the program. Now, the program is installed on your jump drive. You can take your jump drive and plug it in to any PC, open up your drive, double click on the SH icon to run the program, and the SH program will run in the background on whatever PC you are using (you will see the SH icon in your right lower corner with your clock). It is not installed on the PC, so you are not breaking any "rules" that the hospital may have. Once you are done for the day, double click the SH icon and shut down the program and unplug your dive. No one will ever know. It'll be your little secret.
I did this for years. I worked on Cerner RadNet and got the same run around about Expander programs. I just did it myself and nobody ever knew.
Good Luck!
Shorthand does not work well with Emdat.
Need to find an Expander that will expand properly in any platform being that the right working situation for me is so hard to find.
Any suggestions?
TIA
I work for transcend and use shorthand. nm

Does Shorthand work with Medical Spellcheckers?
Just getting to know the Expander program "Shorthand", and saw that it says to shut off all spell-checkers. Does that mean that I cannot run Spellex or another Medical Spell Check program with it? Has anyone any suggestions as to what they use? Or any "work-arounds"
I am just getting started and trying to decide if I like "As-U-Type" or "Shorthand" better as my word expander. It seems that "Shorthand" does not act like a spell-checker like "As-u-Type" does, so need to add one.....preferrably a medical one.
PC Shorthand...Does it work in Emdat and Chartscript??
If so how do I go about setting up to work?
Yes, it is called ESP. Instant Text and Shorthand work

Shorthand 10 and Instant Text V both work on Vista sm
Don't know what you consider "not too much money," but this is a piece of your arsenal you don't want to skimp on. You should get the absolute best you can afford -- if you put the time and energy into making the software work for you, it will for itself in no time.
Does PC ShortHand work on Emdat or Word Client?
And if so how do I get it to work when using these platforms?
How do you get the shorthand word expander to work in 'word client'?

I totally agree, the company I work for is switching from IT to Shorthand :( yuck!

ChartNet
Has anybody used this platform? Migrating to it from Word and concerned about the "learning curve." Any comments on ease of use? Wondering how many (if any) use it besides us or if it is proprietary.
ChartNet
That's definitely reassuring! Thanks! How long did it take you to "get up to speed" as far as your quota? Are you able to keep up with your lines or are you flying in the dark?
Chartnet
I went from DictExt, to Chartnet, and now back to DictExt. I definitely miss Chartnet. It is very efficient and I would not hesitate to recommend it.
Chartnet
It is by far the BEST platform I have ever used. Have been around the block on hospital-based platforms for years. And while it pains me to say this, prior to using chartnet, the best platform I had used prior to that was the DQS system from MQ. (pthewy!) Well let me tell you, Chartnet just FLIES away compared to DQS. It is extraordinarily efficient. My line counts easily doubled. Give it a shot! You won't be disappointed. BTW, I am not exactly a tekk wizard, so if I could do it, anyone can. Good luck to you and spend all your extra cash wisely! 
ChartNet
Alright, then! Bring it on! Thanks ladies.
Chartnet
Have used chartnet while working in house, now working at home for same hospital, but cannot access reports previously typed which I was able to do in house.
ChartNet
Have used chartnet while working inhouse. Have been set up at home from the same hospital using the same system. However, I cannot access old reports to review them. Any suggestions.
Chartnet?
Does anyone know of ANY company that is hiring that provides Chartnet for their transcriptionists? I heard it is a a big timesaver and easy to use, especially for non-tekkies like myself. Appreciate the info, THANK YOU!
ChartNet
SPI Healthcare Documentation uses Chartnet. I think it is very user friendly.
chartnet fan
Also Premier Office Transcription. Small company but friendly, honest, and reliable pay. Gotta love ChartNet!
Chartnet
CyMed also uses Chartnet.
I use Chartnet and need to know how...
to backup my expanders. Does anyone know how to do this? Do I use a disk? I read about using a thumb drive or data stick. No idea how to use this either. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Chartnet
Is that the web-based program by Chartscript? My hospital is moving to it also. They said by 1st quarter of this year but no news yet. We had a presentation on it and it looks pretty good.
ChartNet
I've worked on Chartnet for about 1-1/2 years and like it. Send me a private note if you have specific questions. You can see some screen captures here: http://www.hudson-medical.com/cn-transcription.htm
ChartNet
I worked on Chartnet for several years, and after just about a half hour of training, I was back up to 1500 lines a day! It is the best, THE BEST, platform out there as far as I'm concerned. I'm working with ExText out there and words cannot express how much I detest it. Dictaphone never did have a clue. Go with ChartNet. Your employees will adore you!
Chartnet
Sorry I cannot answer your question regarding internet speed but wondering if you can tell me what company is going to Chartnet. I was under the impression that SPI bought that program exclusively. I loved working on Chartnet for Cymed. Did not love working for SPI. Thanks in advance.
I have been using the ChartNet platform for
the past 9 months and love it. It is a word-based platform and very easy to learn and use. I find it to be very productive. There are also several features that I especially like, such as being able to access reports previously dictated by a physician for reference and the ease of entering shortcuts. Give it a try.
ChartNet to EXText
Has anyone moved from Chartnet to EXText lately? If so, were you able to move your expansions to EXText?
Does any company use chartnet?
I think Chartnet was the best plateform I've every typed in and I haven't heard of any companies who use it anymore. Does anyone know of a company that uses it? I would love to work in it again.
Meditech-ChartNet
Any information on Meditech-ChartNet would be extremely helpful.
TIA.
Chartnet by Chartscript
Is anyone working on Chartnet by Chartscript? Would like to know your opinion on it. My hospital is moving to it soon.
I worked on Chartnet for a very brief...sm
time. I did not like it because it is not word based and therefore my Expander would not work and neither would my spellchecker. That is a major slowdown.
Instant Text with ChartNet
Does anyone who works with Chartnet know if Instant Text is compatible?
TIA! 
MedScribe is in the process of going to ChartNet sm
They have moved some accounts and are doing this hospital by hospital. I'm still on the old system but my turn is coming. I was a little nervous about it at first, but from what I've ready here, I am now looking forward to it.
MedScribe is a great company...I've worked for them a little over a year after leaving MQ and am very happy here. :-)
Cymed uses ChartNet and it is a great software
system. Lots of things to make transcription easier for
Internet speed requirement for Chartnet?
My company is in the process of moving to Chartnet and are saying the optimum internet speed is 3000 Kbs upload, 600 Kbs download. At best, I get 1200 Kbs upload, 400 Kbs download,but often less. I have no other internet options where I live. Am I going to have a lot of problems? Thanks in advance.
SpeedType and Shorthand are the exact same program. Shorthand is lots cheaper and also has a trial.
.
{@KEY BkSp}-pack-per-year is for Shorthand. Using the semicolon works with both Shorthand and
;yo = -year-old
;py= -pack-year
etc...
Shorthand and SpeedType are exact same program. Shorthand will cost you lots less.
you can import your autocorrect into Shorthand.
I took shorthand too. But it sure comes in helpful for my expanders. I view words in shorthand for
i did use shorthand once in a job but i was so nervous the "boss" took pity and dictated the report on dictaphone.
If it is Shorthand, save the SPF file to a disk, then if you buy Shorthand yourself....
you can just drop the SPF file into it. That is not dishonest since you are the one who put the macros in. I am sure is it is another Expander there is a way to save the macro file and then drop it in the expander you buy on your own.
HELP with Shorthand. Suddenly today when I tried to start work today.sm
my ShortHand would type only the first letter of an expansion and then take all the letters away! I checked and the Type It button is grayed out! I have restarted the computer and looked on the Shorthand Help menu but can find nothing that applies. Can anyone please help me ASAP? I am lost without it! TIA
I have never found a program shorthand does not work with, it works outside the program (I think tha

I get my work from an FTP site that they load the work to, however I don't have pool work so to
speak, but I tell them how many minutes a day I want. The work is generally put in my box by 5 pm every day, then I have until 10 am the following day for some priority work, or 3:30 pm for the rest, so TAT is not too bad. I would like to work less at night though, but I working on that. My downside is I do not get the same dictators day to day, there are a few I do on a semi-regular basis though, some generate great lines but take longer to do that other doc's and are not "money-makers", I also do not get paid for spaces so that hurts a bit too. This is WP5.1 too.....so very antiquated but that is what the hospital uses, so not much choice there. But I understand what you mean about the C-phone. I was just doing another job with C-phone recently...they incidentally did not tell me how to get off of the system, which was very simple. I'd finish a job, then hit stop and hangup if I wanted to get off or quit working. That is what you need to do if you want to sleep, eat, etc. Don't feel guilty, do what you signed up for, believe me they watch the pools and will get others to do the work you don't finish. If they get on your case remind them that you are only PT and only want 500 lines a day, etc. It's not worth killing yourself over. Good Luck. 
Shorthand ? sm
Is Shorthand compatible with and is it much different than the standard autocorrect in Word?
I use Shorthand with DQS
It is very compatible. You can set it up so that you can see a hint window while you type. I tried using the built in Expander in DQS, and you have to have a great memory, because there is no hint window or suggestion window, like Smartype. I also know that Instant Text is compatible with DQS, also; but I prefer Shorthand. I hear so many great things about Smartype and wish I could learn it, but it won't work with DQS; however, there is a way you can get around that. You can use Smartype and transcribe in Word, set your font size to 14 and save your file in Rich Text Format, then copy and paste into the DQS platform. Then select all and hit Ctrl 5 to get the spacing right. It sounds like a lot of steps and you will also lose your place as far as leaving any QA markers, so I personally don't care for the hassle, but I know of some MTs that do it that way, so you can try it.
Hope this helps.
