These are physical exams, review of systems, certain operative reports, etc., that are dictated over and over by a doctor and can be called into a new report with only slight editing required. They boost your line count a lot if you get lucky enough to transcribe for a doctor who consistently says the same thing over and over.

Regarding the affectionately referred to BIG THREE schools, if you
take any of these courses because of cost limitations and you cannot finance, there are other alternatives, but you must be careful of some schools that offer high wages for just a few weeks of training. Some schools have you in their course for months and the result is dismal. What it comes down to is that there are more than 3 medical transcription schools in the US. Your local community college oftentimes offers an excellent program. The main thing is to ask questions and get straight answers. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Instant Text
I use this and it is great and you can add to it also. It is worth checking out
Text expander
I currently use IT text Expander from my course at MT at home. Is there a better text expander that I should be using?
Anyone familiar with beyond text platform?
I am job hunting and an account that is available is using beyond text platform. Can anyone tell me what this is before I get in to deep.
Text Expanders and counters
Does anyone know where I can get a free word Expander and a word/line counter? I was using FastFox and TextTally, but I didn't realize it was only free trials. I may have to go ahead and buy them though. I just don't have a lot of money to spend on them right now, and I can't keep entering in my information over and over again. Thanks for all the help
Grammar Text Book
Hey sm, just looked for that book on Amazon and there are quite a few different Little Brown Handbooks, could you tell me the ISBN#, author and edition? Thanks.
using a text expander helped me drastically.
Also, this may seem really obvious, but if you're using MS Word, use the AutoCorrect feature to auto correct any errors you commonly make. I actually use the AutoCorrect feature as my text Expander as well.
Shorthand versus Instant text
Looking for a great word Expander to work with. I am clueless at this point as to what is out there and how they even work. I have had ShortHand and Instant Text suggested to me, but not sure which one will be better.
Thanks for your help.
