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

In Reply to: Expanders - wondering

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.

Shorthand works with every program, it works outside the program you use, does not interfere.

Shorthand, I believe works in all Windows
programs.  It works in my email, etc. so should work in Works also
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 $$.
You can use Shorthand in ANY program, it works outside your program
I have never found a platform it did not work with and I have worked on several different versions of Meditech. Just start using it.
You should not be having that problem, Shorthand works "ouside any program." Contact Shorthan

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

Shorthand works for Radnet. I love Radnet BTW! nm

SpeedType and Shorthand are the exact same program. Shorthand is lots cheaper and also has a trial.

Shorthand and SpeedType are exact same program. Shorthand will cost you lots less.
you can import your autocorrect into Shorthand.
{@KEY BkSp}-pack-per-year is for Shorthand. Using the semicolon works with both Shorthand and

;yo = -year-old


;py= -pack-year


etc...


I like Shorthand for Windows.
You can use it in MS Word almost everywhere else. It is very reasonably priced, and has a free 30-day trial.

Shorthand for Windows

I need help with setting a command for metformin XR so the X-RAY does not expand to x-ray.  Thanks!


Shortand for Windows program is slow
with the auto text feature, that is when it is putting in the words, it takes longer than it should.  I'm sure there is a setting but can't remember what it is.  Any suggestions to speed it up?  TIA (sorry if this gets sent twice, trying to validate email, etc.)
line counting program for Windows XP
I amn looking for a line counting program for Windows XP
What program are you typing in and what version of Windows?
xx
It works in any Windows environment, but to be sure you might want
to download the demo and check it first. See the link below.
Shorthand is not the Windows "shorthand/expander" SM
and has only a virtual tour, not a true demo, so far as I know anyway. The program so misleadingly advertised may be excellent, but it's new and untried, not one of the industry leaders ShortHand is.
Anybody know if Shortcut for Windows works with Chartscript? nm

Is there anything that could be changed so it works better with Windows XP and Svc. Pack 2. What a
pain this thing is.
ITVPro also works in any Windows application sm
If you find you need a glossary, write me and I'll send you mine. Only about 19K to 20K strong and I have used for about 12 years.
What is the version of word for windows that works best for you? Still working off 2000.

MTStars FlashType works in any Windows environment including Vista.
see link below
It is in the Shorthand program.
Open ShortHand and click on help. 
It's a really good program. I use Shorthand with it.
Instant Text also works
Shorthand program with Citrex

I believe that Instant Text will work and it is an awesome program!  I have been using it for about 7 years, really helps production and more.


Shorthand program question

I am using the trial version of the ShortHand program from pcshorthand.com.   I have some long entries in there and it seems to take forever for it to go into my report.  I sit and watch each sentence come onto the screen.  Is there a better shorthand program?  Where it just instantly pastes the entire text "BAM" instantly without having to stop and wait?


Also, maybe it just does it like this because it is a trial version????


Thanks!!!


shorthand program/bayscribe
I am having problems with this too. Did anyone resolve this? I turned of teh Bayscribe player, but how do you get ShortHand to start working>
Yep, in Shorthand & SpeedType since they are the same program.
nm
Is Shorthand a "separate" program/not DQS?
It sounds that way, but just checking.  Thanks.
Shorthand works.
email me if you need any more info
ShortHand works just like that. $100. And you can try it out first.

Need Macro program for Works!

I am about to start a job as an IC for the first time.  I thought the company provided a macro program, but now it seems they don't.  I can't be productive without one, but I have never had to purchase one on my own, having used company-supplied programs for the previous 12 years.  Does anyone know a program that will work in Microsoft Works that has macros that will expand with the spacebar?  I need something easy to understand and as inexpensive as possible but that will hold maybe 2,000-3,000 shortcuts!   Thanks!


Re: Need Macro program for Works!
Thanks so much!
Are you using Autotext, too? Macros? Why not get a program like Shorthand for your

Is there a way to copy Shorthand program from one computer
to another when I do not have the disk anymore?  Any help appreciated.  I recently bought a new computer and am looking to install my ShortHand on that computer.
Shorthand is great short cut program,
I wish you the best.
SpeedType and Shorthand are the exact same program.
SpeedType is just a different brand name and costs a whole lot more.

You cannot import into AutoText. You can copy your spf dictionary into Word and then you'll have to create the AutoText entries one by one.
Shorthand works wonderfully with DQS
xx
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 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.


I have found nothing works for me like Lanier
Tried many others (very expensive also) and could not hear as well with any of them so I keep going back to Lanier and the best part is they're not expensive, around 25.00.

Here is the only thing I have found that works sm

Get a full 8 hours of good sleep at night. 


Most people in the US, especially the female people in the US, do not get enough sleep.  We push, and push and push, and do for everyone...but not ourselves.  We stay up late trying to keep a nice house.  We cook meals, do the dishes and work.  Men don't get it.  ANY woman who works outside the home can tell you, we ALL work the second shift of housecleaning, childcare, cooking and laundry.  Men work one shift at the office and sit on their wide fat arses for the evening and complain about what they aren't getting.  Precious few will clean up in any way, shape or form.


OF COURSE you are tired and draggy at work.  Once I finally realized that I was overeating to compensate for being so very tired I looked at my fat behind and understood that sleep is more important than food.  I started insisting on 8 hours of sleep.  Guess what? I don't power nap at my desk anymore!  I have lost 40 lbs in a year and I am actually getting more done, at work and at home.


No amount of energy drink or caffeine makes up for sleep.


Save yourself some $$ - Speedtype and Shorthand are the exact same program.
xx
Get a decent word expansion program like PRD or Shorthand sm
autocorrect is very limited.  If you want to make money, your really need a good expander.
SpeedType and Shorthand are the exact same program. Smartype only
works in MS Word.
Shorthand and Speedtype are the exact same program, just sold
under different brand names. ShortHand does have a trial version.
Try opening up ShortHand before log in. Works with other systems like that. nm
