Dictaphone Word Client Application
Hi everyone! I have a question that I need answered as quickly as possible. I have the opportunity for a job but it requires use of a Dictaphone Word Client Application.  I've used a Dictaphone before and then just typed the dictation into Word.  Can someone please explain to me what a Word Client Application is??  Thank you so much!! Have a good day!
Dictaphone EXText Word Client question.

I've been working along and all of sudden I noticed my trans status window is gone.  It's the little window that shows your downloaded jobs waiting to be transcribed/edited.  How do I get the box back without logging out and logging back in?  I'm not sure where it went or how I closed it, but I must have inadvertently clicked something.


Thanks!


Part-time work using Extext/word client/dictaphone
Anyone know any companies that are hiring that use this system?  I really want to start part-time and then probably commit to full time later.  I really want a company that supplies your equipment!  Thanks.
PRD is a DOS program. I don't think it work with Word, a Window's program.

Question for mini-laptop users. Are you able to use Dictaphone Extext program
on one of these. I noticed a lot of them do have Windows XP Home Edition but only like Microsoft Works for the word processing. I guess my question is are you able to down Dictaphone or does it have to have a Word processin program in order to download it.
iChart/Word Client
Hi all.  I was wondering if anyone knows how to save the ESP file (expanders) in Word Client so I can transfer it to another software platform?  My company is switching platforms and without being able to save and transfer my ESP file, I will have to completely rebuild my Expanders from scratch.  Help please!!!!!!
Emdat actually does have a Word client in it sm

Most places don't like for you to use it because it screws up the formatting, or at least that is what they say.  I could not get Emdat's Word client to open on it was installed on.


I have a friend who works in it.  She types in Word, pastes in WordPad, back into Word and over to Emdat...copy paste copy paste YIKES.  I may have that wrong and she may work in WordPad, copy to Word, copy back to WordPad and into Emdat, but in any case it is a hassle, but she says it works okay.


EXText Word Client problem
I am using EXText Word Client software with Transnet provided by MTSO for hospital account. I am getting an Exception error when I try to bring up the ExText Word Client (An Exception (0xc0000005) has occurred. A dump file will be generated.) I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software an upgraded but still errors out the same way. Everyone seems to disown the problem. Are there any EXtexters out there that have a fix for this?

SmartType will run in Word client programs sm
I know this because I have used it in MedRite XL, Extext, MTWorld and Winscribe. There are a couple of others out that it will run with. Sometimes you have to futz a bit (Extext), but it will run.

SmartType is wonderful and I am VERY productive with it, BUT it will limit your career and flexibility somewhat if that is all you can or will use. It has to have Word or an actual Word client, you can't link it to IM, email or a funny platform like you can IT for instance. (SH will also do this.)

Unless you tend to stay at a job for years at a time, AND it is a Word client like Extext, it is best you have IT or SH because they are portable from one system to another. Much as I love ST and have used it for over 10 years, I can't unreservedly recommend it to anyone.
Does PC ShortHand work on Emdat or Word Client?
And if so how do I get it to work when using these platforms?
One client uses word count.....total divide by 1000

How do you get the shorthand word expander to work in 'word client'?

Client can use any zip-unzip program to unzip the MPTools archives.
Hi,

If your client can currently unzip the files you send, when you send him/her MPTools zips, your client can continue to use the same software as they are currently. They do not need MPTools to access the files.

How can I install my Dictaphone EXText shorthands in basic word?
Is that possible?  If so how do you do it.  I know what my ShortHand file is named and where it is saved.  I am using basic word a lot and don't want to put everything in under autocorrect by hand.  Thanks for your time!

ExtText by Dictaphone -- Word 2000 - won't capitalize when making a new paragraph or after lists?
Hi. I am new at a job. The Word 2000 running in ExtText (Dictaphone) will not capitalize at the beginning of a new paragraph (never had that happen before), nor after numbers in an automatic list, and sometimes even just after plain periods, not just periods used in numbers (like hemoglobin 7.5).

What is going on? It works fine in the Word version on my computer, but when it ties with ExtText, it "forgets" to capitalize. It is especially annoying with lists, and also at the first of paragraphs, I never had to babysit that before.

Any help? TX
Anyone ever used this Word program?
Microsoft Office Professional Enterprise Edition 2003. Does this have MS Word 2003?
Word count program
I have an older model puter that is slowly going up and have word 97 count program on it.  I am looking for something that is compatible with that - that also does all headers and footers - not just the header and footer on the first page that I can put on my new puter.  I have checked in to SPellex and that is really slow counting.  I also checked in to Abacus, which was fast and pretty accurate; it actually gave me a little more on a few of my reports as a trial run.  ANyone have any ideas on this.  Thanks for any help.
Depends on what word program you are using
If you are using microsoft word 2003 or even 2000, I believe, then you only put in 1 space as there is a built in space in word that already shows up and if you try to put in a second space it will go in one space when you go down to the next line. Hopes this helps.
Does your word processing program
have "search and replace" feature? That should do what you want.
Yes, it's a word expander--can be used with any program (not just DQS)

word expander program sm

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


You need Microsoft's Word. It is a program that requires
installation. The account sounds good at 13/cent a line. Better invest in Word (costs a bit) unless you have a kind friend who will share theirs with you.
PRD is a dos-based program, will not work in Word.
It is a great program, wish it would, but you might have to look at something like Shorthand. Same with Stedman's. It is a Windows installation, not a copy/paste like the old dos programs (WP, etc.)
downloading free word program
has anyone ever used open office to download word so a test can be taken?  I rent a computer from my company and I know I probably should not do this.  My question is would they know if this is being done?  Thank you.  
smartype attaches to your Word program - SM
so you cannot use it unless you open Word as well as the account's platform, and type there (then copy/pasting the reports into the facillity's system).

Shorthand works independently so works with pretty much all systems.

I've never had one that did not expand a shorcut with the space bar.
It's a stand alone program and doesn't pull up within Word itself. nm

Pros & Cons of ESP word expansion program?
Does this work pretty well? (I have Word 2002)  I'd like not to have to buy any software.  Any opinions on ESP?  Any other Word-compatible programs that work well, also?
That would depend on the employer's set up. Word can be interfaced with another program, sm
in that, Word would be running remotely, but in conjunction with another program. If this is the case, the documents would be saved on the employer's server and not on any drive on your pc as a Word document. If you using Word exclusively, when saving a document it would be stored on your computer's hd and/or a cd.
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.
C-phone + Word versus software program
What I'm trying to say is that it seems more time consuming to use a C-Phone and Word rather than a software program because everything is just a click away with a program, whereas with a C-phone and Word you have to dial in, do paperwork, send work through e-mail, create templates, etc, etc.  Seems much more efficient to use a program thereby saving time and making more $$$.  (You can probably tell I'm still fairly to this). TIA
Can't do it. Word is kind of a clumsy program, there's a lot that is self-evident that it sho
1. Take care of that capitalization issue you were talking about.
2. Capitalize after a colon : 99% of the time, you want a capital.
3. Capitalize reliably after a period. If doing numbers, like 3.7 for a potassium, or 6.8 for a white count, it won't cap after the period (White count 2.8. hemoglobin was... the H in hemoglobin won't auto cap). Come on, Microsoft. Let us decide if we want it or not. Or what to apply it to (tables).
4. About 7 other things that it could do better, but they never work on it. Not as sexy as photos, TVs, gaming. I don't think Microsoft will ever look at Word from the production typist point of view.

Just my input. In the new versions, it won't even capitalize in a numbered list, if you don't hit the shift key. Why are we hitting the shift key 30 years after computers came out? SHouldn't they be doing the work???

Word 2003 speech recognition program
Has anyone heard of this or used it?  I have Word 2003 and it has a built in speech recogition program that I did not know existed.  From what I can see, I just have to download the software, purchase a microphone headset, and train the thing.  Has anyone used this, is it proficient, and has it increased your transcription production.  Also, I transcribe in ChartScript/NetLinc which is a Word-based program.  For those who have used the speech recognition through Word would this work for me?  
Will the Stedman's work with that version of Word? You buy the basic program and then

EXText Word Client - blank screen everytime I give "ok" in the DIS screen

EXText word client blank screen everytime I give ok in DIS screen
Thanks your suggestion was very valuable. At a specified time (which the technical side say, when the net speed is very good), it is working without a problem at all (whereas this was half working and half not working before even at this time), but other times, still the same problem exists.

Actually the blank screen comes every time I give "ok" in the DIS screen (patient details info screen).

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".
You can use Shorthand in ANY program, it works outside your program

FTP Client
I still don't know what an FTP client is that was asked in the original question? 
the client always wants a little something...sm
The client always wants a little something for nothing.....so I give them a free line if there is only one word on the line...I give them a 68-72 character line (spaces I do count).  I have never upped them in 9 years, but on my 10th anniversary I am upping them to 13 CPL.  I also give them their 5 line headings for nothing as it's only 2 Keystrokes for me.  They are good to me so I bake for the offices a couple of times a year and give the offices a gift during the winter holidays. 
I do for one client

One of my clients requested that I charge this way.  We do 10 words = 1 line, so basically a penny per word.  From what I have figured, I'm doing okay when compared to the character count way of charging on this account.  I think they requested charges calculated this way because of being ripped off by their last MT.  Once I send their files, they can check the word count and keep a running tab to compare with my statement.  They're satisfied and I'm satisfied, so it works well. 


Have your client do it. SM
Call the office of your client and have them fax/e-mail to you samples of their prior surgeries.  There's certainly nothing wrong with asking for this.
