Is there any way to type in microsoft word and then get the document into wordperfect?
nt
HOW can you do 180 mins. a day?? Where do you work that the sound and dictation are clear
n
Don't think most of us are blessed with the clear sound, repetition, and few ESLs that you must
s
The sound is crystal clear. (meant Soundblaster)......
Although I googled video cards as my other computer's video card went out but the external boxes did not have good reviews, so hired a technician to come to my house and install the video card, $177.00, but I couldn't afford to mess w/my computer and be out of work, so I would certainly recommend the external sound box.
If it comes with WordPerfect, it doesn't come with MS Word.
Unless you pay extra and special order it. One or the other, not both.
Just had to switch from Word to WordPerfect. Could someone please tell me in the
mess that is Corel Office, where I find UNDERSTANDABLE directions for making macros for headings, etc??
WordPerfect is 6.1 (I think) and Word is 2003

How to copy macros from WordPerfect to Word
Does anyone know how to do this?  Would save so much time, as we have tons. Thanks for any ideas!
Depends on the versions of Word and WordPerfect. sm
Some WP versions can read Word .doc files, some don't. Some versions of WP will not accept copy/paste from Word. The advice to save the Word document as an .rtf file may be your only choice.
Is there any way to import Word Autocorrect entries into WordPerfect?

I've been Googling it and there is some info about going from WordPerfect to Word, but I can't find anything about importing them from Word to WordPerfect.


I just got really screwy account where we have to transcribe the reports in WordPerfect to get the line count, then save them in Word to send to the client. 


Shorthand users: Is there a way to type a word, use a slash and then type another word..sm

immediately following the slash and have it expand.  For example if I needed to transcribe mass/sebaceous cyst, is there a way to use my expanded sebaceous cyst without having to back space after I type the slash mark?  TIA


i hate that clear type option...sm

everything is so blurry, so I turned it off.


Wow. You sound exactly like the type of person

I type the letter "l" in IT and the word cholelithiasis is my word selected?Why?
I want to get rid of this. Entered left again but it is still giving me cholelithiasis as the only word option to select from.

This is why I find this program crazy. Everytime I sit down for the day, there is a whole new experience with it!!! I have to stop and think before each word!!!
No, you don't type directly into ES. You type in Word -
or whatever their platform is, just like you did with your tapes.

Then you do your line count in Word or the platform.
Hun, the "platform" is the package sm

you type in.  Dictaphone EXText is a platform, Chartscript is a platform, Careflow is a platform.....all of these PLATFORMS use Word as their word processor.


Word itself is NOT a platform.  The person who answered Dictaphone EXText is correct.


 


Don't want to work on a "platform" (sm)
In search of a company where I can get the voice files in a batch and then transcribe them in Word and send them all back as a batch. Maybe just wishful thinking?
Someone might recommend a type of equalizer. Headphones with a sound control on the line help, too.

Marie, what type of federal job, is this still medical? nm

DVI VoiceWave
Hands down. I haven't seen anybody using it for years. Not many frills but it downloaded the voice file and automatically set up a document by importing demographics into Chartscript. Sign off the dictation and it would automatically send the document back to the server if so desired. Or not if using an FTP site or something. Highly customizable. The MT's time was almost entirely spent typing the body of one report after another and that is where high productivity and decent pay are to be found.
Voicewave
Does anyone know how to copy Voicewave program from one computer to another? 
Make sure you have selected Medical as your speller type.
Tools, Options, Spelling and Grammer. Select Medical from the drop down list under speller type (right side).
I seriously doubt that type of work is as complex as medical reports.
nm
I would not; most of the time those type files, although not usually hard medical terms, take lots l
to type and are very difficult as it is hard to hear with background noise, different speakers, usually no macros, etc. I think they are worth more pay, not less. I also get paid by the word at 0.008 and had figured mine to be about 0.09/line as well in the past. stick with where you are.
We don't use that word! I cringe at the sound of it!
Rhymes with hunt - eh!
Thanks for your input. We type regular medical reports in Meditech and radiology in Cerner. SM

I am really considering presenting the idea that we measure productivity on minutes transcribed instead of lines.  I don't know if management will go for it, but it seems like the best scenario considering all the trouble we've had.


Thanks again!


Digital Voice voicewave player

Is anyone familar with the digital voice voicewave player?  Do you have any idea of the pricing for software and license?  I got a quote and was blown away.  Just wanted to check that it is correct. 


If you like to type (fast), are fascinated by medical field, enjoy working solo, you will be fine.
You may have to go through three jobs (over several years) to get to the big money. Best to chose a specialty which you find intriguing and tends to pay well (surgery, radiology perhaps).
QA/Medical Word of the Day
Bezoar: Taken from Wikipedia:

bezoar is a mass found trapped in the gastrointestinal system (usually the stomach),[1] though they can occur in other locations.[2][3]

There are several varieties of bezoar, some of which have inorganic constituents and others organic.
You sound like a complete and total idiot! I don't use that word lightly!

Need Medical Spellchecker and Word.
Anyone know where I can find an affordable medical spellchecker and also an affordable copy of MS Word 2000 or 2003?  Thanks :-)

I am looking for the rules from the original PRD+ Taylor Medical Word list.  If anyone has it, please let me know, I would like a copy.  I really need the original document if someone has it.  Thank you so much!
MEDICAL WORD SPELL CHECKER

I want to update my 2000 Stedmans Spellchecker.  Is there a newer version and what would be the best one to get.  


I have medical students spelling every third word, such as N-O-S-E, sometimes twice.
This is how they dictate. The patient's eyes, that is E-Y-E-S, eyes are round, R-O-U-N-D, reactive, and equal, -E-Q-A-U-, I mean E-Q-U-A-L to light. Nose, that is -N-O-S-E, nose, is patent, etc. Funny that these are the ones that usually misspell their names.

Does Anyone Know of A Good Medical Spell Checker For Word?
Hello,

I am new to these boards and I am curious If anyone knows of a good medical spell check for Word? TIA :)
Do you have a word you can never type correctly

Mine is "initiated."  It makes me nuts.  In 20 years, I have never typed that word correctly and I keep forgetting the expansions I develop for it.


What are your least favorite terms to type?


Shorthand ? When I type the word I the

first letter in the next word is capped.   There is no period so don't know why it caps.  Anyone know how to fix it. I'm new to ShortHand and I really HATE it.   My company offers a short class in it, but they want me to have more experience with it before I take the class. 


type it as 1 word midphalanx..nm

What to do if Word does not recognize your added medical terms - after updates? nm

Are there any free medical spell checkers for Word that can be downloaded?..

Medical Transcriptionist's Guide to Microsoft Word book
Does anybody have this book?  Is it worth the money to buy it if you are pretty comfortable creating macros and such in Word already?  Just wondering.... I am always looking for new ways to increase my speed and make things easier.  Any info would be great from someone who has this book.  Thanks! 
It is like Word in a lot of ways, with the same type of AutoCorrect. sm
But you have an ADT utility to select the patient demographics for the report you are doing. Actually very nice. I enjoyed DQS while I was on it.
If a company has you type on straight Word..
is there any way to put your own Expander software with that and if so, what is recommended.  I have always had the company supply the software including expanders, but wondered if there is a way to use these in Microsoft Word.  Thanks for any help!!!
How many WPM do you type with auto corrects/word expander?

I have never tested my speed using my Expander and have no idea how many WPM I type.  I became a certified master typist last year at over 100 WPM without my expander.  I've been doing this for six years.


I'm really curious what the average is with an expander.  TIA.


Type whatever word/phrase, bold, highlight, sm--
select Autocorrect, add.
Question for all who type on a Word-based platform.
Does anyone else use F3 to go from expansion to expansion?  For instance, I have gent that expands to gentleman, then I hit F3 to go to gentamicin, F3 again to go to Gastroenterology, etc., etc.  My question is this:  I am typing on ExText, and I have been making these entries, but in the morning when I turn the computer on they are all gone and I have to start over again.  In ChartScript they "stick" and in ExText they don't.  Does anyone have any ideas on how to get them to stay?  TIA for any suggestions anyone may have.
