Perhaps you listed it that way in your autocorrect or other expander program

Can't compare autocorrect to an expander (sm)....
After 20 years as MT I found a word expander, and still mad that I went so long without one! I would not consider being without one today, it adds so much to my productivity. And an Expander does much more than autocorrect does, so I personally don't think they are even comparable. For example, you can make entries bold or italicized; you have no limit on how much text you put into each entry; and most importantly, your possible choices show up on the screen as you type letters, so you can be very specific in your use. Autocorrect does just that, it makes an automatic correction, and so quickly that you might not even realize something was changed/expanded. Expanders are not cheap, but to me they are as essential as a medical dictionary!
No, but Autocorrect is subject to crash and you can lose everything. You need a real expander. NM

If you don't have an expansion program, you can put stuff in Word in your AutoCorrect/AutoText un

expander program
I love my Instant Text. It attaches to the bottom of Word and allows you to choose how many suggestions it lists. You select the one you want and tap a key for it to insert the phrase, word, etc. into your document. You can enter as many as you want, and it also comes with a lot of .glo files. You can buy others, and there are some free files out there, too. If you type in a phrase to include and tap tab key, the program automatically creates a shortcut for you. It’s always the first letter of each word. You can change the shortcut if you want to. It’s really easy!
What expander, short-cut program (sm)

works best with Transnet ExText?  Will Keystrokes provide this Expander if you purchased the foot pedal?  Feel free to e-mail me if you like, I'd appreciate the helpful information.


Yes, I have expander but I would like a macro program.. sm
to do those things my Expander cannot.  I used MS Word for a short period of time and got used to macros to perform tasks.  Now my software is not Windows based and I have no macro program though have seen some for sale.  I just don't know enough to make an intelligent choice. 
Yes, it's a word expander--can be used with any program (not just DQS)

Pros and cons of word Expander programs that work with Chartscript?  PC ShortHand as opposed to Instant Text?  Which is better?  I have downloaded PC shorthand for a 30 day trial, but to me its a little slow.  Any ideas?  Thanks


Need help finding a good expander program
I work on DocQscribe and I use Instant Text.  Does anybody out there work on a different shorthand program that is compatible with DocQscribe?  Instant Text is okay but I am wondering if there is another program I would like more.
new at this... how do I choose a good expander program?
Which is best Expander program?  anyway to get a free trial to check out how these things work?
Instant Text - an expander program.

What is the best expander program for Meditech system?
I asked this question a while back and someone told me ShortHand worked great with Meditech.  I have downloaded the new trial version of it and it interferes with certain keys that are used in Meditech.  Such as filling out information screens and the save button in Meditech.  Things come up that I don't want to come.  I want a program that will expand only in the text part of Meditech.  Any help would be appreciated.
Try an expander program like Instant Text.

Ditto / Palabrio expander program

Recently there was a post here asking people to try the above program - and then the guy came back and thanked participants   


???  Anyone who tried this software - are you willing to share your opinion - for price alone it is definitely worth considering  but I am wondering...


Is it fast, easy to use?   Are the popups annoying?    Can you do functions with it or just expand words/phrases?  


Any info appreciated  /    thanks


Does your program have an option to put in a backspace in your expander?
I use ShortHand for Windows, and if this is what you use, you can put {@KEY BkSp} at the end of it and it will automatically backspace as part of the shortcut.

Same thing applies for bolding, etc. If you look in the help section, you should be able to find out if you can do this.

If you work in Microsoft word, you could record a macro instead of putting it into the autocorrect section.

Good luck!
Word has its own excellent word expander in Autocorrect.
It reminds me of the old PRD
POLL: Productivity gain using your expander and what expander you use.
Guess I need to make it work harder.
The shortcuts expander works with the Bayscribe expander as well.
All at the same time.
I have never found a program shorthand does not work with, it works outside the program (I think tha

PRD is a DOS program. I don't think it work with Word, a Window's program.

It will count everything if you go in the settings and program it to. Good program!
Sylcount is an awesome and accurate counting program also. That will count everything if you "tell it to".
yes to any of the ones listed below, PLUS
Any stuttering ESL! Is there anything worse? I had one Chinese doc who stuttered so badly it made me literally squirm in my chair to hear him. Then he would repeat himself and every other word was "uh and." It was excruciating!
there are so many a few listed below

medterms.com
doctorspiller.com
mercksource.com

hundreds others, literally
See, it listed on there
the vehicle, the VIN and everything else in my possession, and it said whoever's got whatever, goes to whoever (you know what I mean!! :)  THAT was what I signed.  I got a DRAFT of the property agreement, but on the final document, nothing is specified, just whatever he's got is his and whatever I've got is mine (this was not something I signed...this is what I got after going to court).  And maybe things vary in different states....I dunno, but I had to be present with my attorney, as did he, but neither he nor his laywer showed up.  But   I needed the FINAL COPY to say the VIN number and the specifics for the DMV.  That's all.
I look at the website you listed.
There a ton of great jobs there but where do they list the jobs for MTs?
If only one printer is listed...
How can you change your default? Can you actually create a default that does not exist?
Since when are CTs listed under labs?
This company is something else.  Maybe they would have more work if the editing staff could make up their minds.  For months I have been putting CT/PET scan results under "Imaging" with other places "Radiographs".  Was told by someone in QA it goes under labs?   Okay, my mother works for a mircobiology lab -- they test blood, urine and tissue samples.  Never have I heard of someone getting their CT scan from the lab!  The lab is not the source of radiographic data to my knowledge.  Did I miss something here?????????
If none of the suggestions listed here

are of any help, here is an alternate.


Use the support form available from the "Support" link on the WinZip home page  (http://www.winzip.com).  The majority of the time they respond to all inquiries within 1 business day.


OP listed several things, not just this one; I'm sure you get that.

They are listed in BOS, as if that matters.

I work there as well and they have everything listed except 3 and 6.
Regarding #2, you do need to check with your supervisor to be sure extra work is needed for your accounts, as a courtesy to the people scheduled to work those hours...there needs to be enough work to go around.
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.
Stedman's has crepitance listed.
Taber's only has crepitant and crepitation, not even crepitus.  It's probably one of thos cases where doctors just made up a variation on a word that stuck.  They don't care if it's right or not.
Start, programs and it is listed there.
I downloaded it last week. Found it there after an hour of confusion and then made a shortcut to my desktop.
Not listed with Better Business Bureau?
I have been offered a really good position with a company, however they have no web site and are not listed with the BBB. Should I be suspicous? They are a small company, but shouldn't they be listed voluntarily or something?
Not sure on this but I think you pay to be listed with the BBB - (join a member) so many probably j
the money to do so. Search the archives or Google them. Otherwise unless they are offering some outragous pay over such as over .12 cpl, then I would not worry about it and go for it.
flocculence is listed on onelook.com-sm
and has a definition of being flocculent which means having a fluffy character or appearance. I am by no means saying in my previous statment that this is a medical transcription standard but simply stating what I have found in my research of this. I also would like to know for sure if this is correct or not if anyone knows.

I have many, many doctors who frequently state, "There is no fluctuance on palpation of the wound." I have been typing fluctuance all this time and just ignoring spell check because it is used so frequently, so if this is wrong, any advice would be helpful. Thanks.
Did anyone see the CEP Shay Reddy job listed

They are asking for someone to proof/MT for $9.00 an hour.  BWAHAHAHAHAHA!


Quick, how do I sign up?


I visited the website you listed and according
to that, it is not an insurance plan. It is a savings plan. You get a membership card that gets you savings on medical care at participating providers, not insurance.
It isn't that it is MY way. It is the correct way. It is the way that is listed in reference

Do you still feel that way?  I'm afraid if I change my way of doing things to incorrect and improper ways that I may never get them back.  I pride myself in being a great MT.  I have three years of college to boot.  It is almost like starting a bad habit to please your employer and I just don't know if I can do something the wrong/incorrect way.


Pled is listed in my dictionary
Webster's New World Dictionary
Actually, shoddy is not even listed in the 29th
edition Dorland's Medical Dictionary. Only shotty is listed and means " like shot; resembling the pellets used in shotgun cartridges."
it is listed under fever, but the two words are

not interchangeable.

Towards the bottom there is a pull down to pick speciality, and chiropractor is one of them.


Let's do a poll, would you respond to help wanted ad that listed pay
more than you would an ad that did not list pay range?  I am finding myself only responding to ads that have a pay range listed.  Does anybody else do this?  Maybe if those companies out there that needed MTs badly listed pay range then they would get more of a response!
