Unclick verify target window. 1 msec, 400 strokes. Click on simulate keystrokes. This is how mine is set and it fixed the problem for me. Hope that helps. Otherwise change the delay like another poster said.

My preferences

I personally like Itype and MTWorld for installed platforms and Scribe for a web platform.


I HATED Intrascript and Emdat/Inscribe.  Too quirky.


These are account preferences.
However, the company follows the BOS, first and second edition.  So apparently the first edition says one, two, three, etc. (client wants that).  The second edition says 1, 2, 3, etc. (client wants that).  I asked if I could transcribe one way or the other for both accounts and was told "no".  So I will transcribe "The 2 complaints the patient had......" or "The two complaints the patient had" depending on the account.  Talk about a bouncin...  I think it should be spelled out unless you are typing lab values... but that is just my opinion.  BOS rules in the online profession, but in the real world (my own accounts), I stick to what looks more professional - spelling numerous 1-9 out.  Once I reach 10, I type it that way.  JMO.  
go to options in preferences.....
Under the operation tab there should be a setting for hot keys. Click on it, and it should come up with the next key you hit will become your hot key. Or similar. I have an older version of shorthand, so if this is not an option, go to help and look up HOT KEYS. I have mine set to F9, since my other software programs never seem to use the F9 key. Hope this helps.
Laptop preferences.......I currently have a Dell...

Hi Everyone!


 


For those of you who use laptops, I was just curious if you would share your brand preference.  I currently have a Dell and I love it.  I am thinking of getting a second laptop so my son would be able to use this one for school and I would then have one just for work.  Like I said I have a Dell and love it (and will probably purchase another Dell) but before purchasing another, I want to make sure I am not missing something with another brand. 


 


TIA.


Preferences for on-line dictionaries

Do you have a favorite on-line dictionary?  I'm looking for both medical and non-medical.  Thanks.


Under preferences, auto display, and make sure
there is no check mark in front of the option to use Shift plus enter to expand.
Shorthand can be set to show a preferences window. I like it

Preferences? Setting up NP with Doc signature block

Need to set up nurse practitioner dictator with Doc signature block, think I know how it should be set up but it's been awhile.  Any current examples or preferences of how anyone likes to do this?    Thanks. 


Some sanity regarding tech and software preferences? sm
Just to pull the heck out of the other thread below :-) and, hopefully, interject "a logic" about the whole subject, if I can?....

Individual choices regarding what software to use are just that, choices. Each person can make their case for their decision(s) and others are free to accept or reject their reasoning or advice. It's that simple, really.

One person's stated choice should not necessarily be construed as a blanket indictment of someone else's choice. Either take the advice, or don't, but please take the time to research what you're using; evaluate the software on its own merits and how it fits with your needs, check out what others are saying about it and why, and, finally, whether it's worth the cost (if there is one) or the potential risk (if there is no cost).

It's really pretty simple, and shouldn't be so contentious, IMO. No? javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','');

I have my suggestion window turned OFF in preferences so I don't have to pick from the list. Much

Did you check and see what's checked or not checked in Preferences. Maybe something got messed up
