Use ExText for 1 job. Love it! Works with my ShortHand. Wish they all used it! nm

You can download Shorthand, choose the "capitalize first letter" option. SH works with ExText
nm
I use Shorthand. It works great in there. sm
The Scribe platform is easy to use once you are used to it. My lines have doubled in the past two months. I use Shorthand for EVERYTHING.

Go to www.pcShorthand.com. There is a trial version.
Shorthand works great with DQS and is half the price

{@KEY BkSp}-pack-per-year is for Shorthand. Using the semicolon works with both Shorthand and

;yo = -year-old


;py= -pack-year


etc...


Shorthand to ExText

Is there a way to copy Shorthand to ExText?


TIA


Can Shorthand be used with EXText?
Hospital is switching over to EXText next month and I'm worried!  Without my ShortHand I might as well go work at McDonalds!
I use shorthand and not ExText and...
I get the same problem. You don't even have to close shorthand. You just have to use an abbreviation and let it spell it out in all caps, go back and delete that word, and then you should be able to start typing regular again. Must be a glitch in ShortHand program...
Problem with Shorthand in ExText... help!

For some reason I have just recently starting having an issue where my caps are locking while working in ExText, and I was able to isolate it to Shorthand. (When it happens if I bring ShortHand up and then hide it again, the problem clears).  It doesn't happen outside of ExText.  What is strange is that the first few weeks I was working in ExText it wasn't a problem, but now it is happening with increasing frequency.  And toggling caps lock and shift won't clear it, I have to bring up SH to clear it.



Anyone else run into this problem, or maybe just have a thought on why this would be happening?  TIA! 


I use ShortHand with ExText. Just open it first and minimize. nm

Shorthand is far superior to that expander for extext

ShortHand works just like that. $100. And you can try it out first.

Shorthand works wonderfully with DQS

Shorthand, I believe works in all Windows
programs.  It works in my email, etc. so should work in Works also
Shorthand is by far the best expander and works with everything. nm

ShortHand is up to version 9, at least, now, as it's what I have. Maybe v.10 is in the works?? nm

Shorthand works with Mysis
Haven't tried any others but I use SH with it.
Yes, Shorthand works with Meditech.

I have only worked in one version of Meditech, Meditech Magic, and it is easy to use.  There are other versions, though.  I'm sure they are easy also. 


Just make sure you get a list of what the function keys do in your version.


Shorthand works everywhere in Windows.
Can't speak for that platform specifically... but ShortHand for Windows works everywhere, including e-mail, instant messaging, and every other place that you type. They even have a 30-day free trial so you can download and test it out before laying out the $$.
Try opening up ShortHand before log in. Works with other systems like that. nm

FlashType works just like ShortHand except is cheaper.

Shorthand works for me on message boards. nm

MTStars FlashType works just like Shorthand and is $59.95.
see link below
Shorthand works with every program, it works outside the program you use, does not interfere.
nm
Try FlashType, it works just like Shorthand but is half the price.
see link below
It is an older DOS-type environment - works well with Shorthand. sm
Lots of menus, especially in radiology, but ShortHand helps you get through them very quickly is you write macros to just stop where you need to.

It can be very productive with good line counts if you are paid by the line.

Personally, I loved it, but that was because I did very well with our incentive program on it.

MTStars FlashType works just like Shorthand and costs less.
It also works on Vista.  See link below.
FlashType works much like Shorthand, is cheaper, & significantly increases your

I use Shorthand for Windows and love it. I have found it works well with most every program. SM

I have used with Word and Word Perfect.  I have used it with Meditech and Cerner.  I have used it with RadNet and StarNavigator for Radiology.  I can use it with my email applications and on the internet if I choose.  If the Expander is open and running, you can use it with any and every window program you use.


I was really simple to learn to use too.  Very user friendly.


FlashType is cheaper and works equally as well as Shorthand and has a free demo.

You should not be having that problem, Shorthand works "ouside any program." Contact Shorthan

ExText is great. Access all the old stuff. Easy to insert cc's. Line counts can sometimes

great when it works
We live in the midwest and with wind, rain, etc., the picture would die. One night we were under a tornado warning and watching the Weather Channel and it just went fuzzy.
Yes and yes it works great! nm
x
Well if it works for you that's great!
I've never tried it myself, but might just out of curiosity.  : )
MetaboLife works great for me! nm

Works great for smoothies too! nm

it works great for a lot of people, but
be aware that as with most medications it starts to wear off, so if it works for you, I would say go for it and don't dilly dally around with it, because one day it will not work for you, at least that is what happened to me years ago.
you have to really, really want to quit..then it works great.

I have a Belkin and it works great.

My Linksys works great!!!
I just switched to Linksys about six months ago and it works wonderfully.
Voange works great for me! nm

Same here Linksys also. Works great..sm
and have never had any problems with it. I use it for a laptop and have a hard wired desktop pc. My daughter also runs off the Linksys and has had no problems.
Works great! Better than Vonage. SM
I found that with Vonage there was a lag when I would rewind or fast forward in a dictation.  Drove me batty.  Switched to Mediacom phone and it works great.  No lag, clear as a bell.
I should add it works great with the fax machine too!
With Vonage I could never send or receive faxes.  I kept getting "poor line quality" error messages on my fax machine. 
I use MagicJack & it works great. nm
