eScription EditScript and Sylvan ShortCut - adkmt


Posted: Aug 16, 2011

I just started an account using EditScript today and I can't seem to get my Sylvan ShortCut program to work with it.  It works sometimes and not others and very slowly, showing one letter at a time.  I already tried excluding it from my Avast antivirus (I think I did it right) and it seemed better for a minute and then right back to the same thing.  I ended up closing it and working without it, but I can't do that all the time or my production will suck.  Has anyone had this problem with ShortCut or any other expander program?  I can't even ask the other MTs because I don't even know the names of the others on the new account yet, much less have them on my IM.

 

 

Shortcut - nn

[ In Reply To ..]
If I remember correctly, Editscript will not work with Shortcut. Cerner is another program that comes to mind that it will not work with (because of the fact that you are directly typing into their server) and there is one other program that comes to mind that it will not work with either but cant think of it off the top of my head. I have a version of Shortcut that came out before Sylvan handled it and Superior Global Solutions has a help number that you can call for any issues and they are very helpful. HTH

Help! Shortcut Word Expander Won't Work Right With Editscript
Nov 07, 2012

Has anyone had any problems using the Shortcut for Windows word expander with the Editscript platform?  It's always worked fine in the past when I used to use Voicescribe.  It also works fine in everything else currently that I use.  When I expand a word it in Editscript, the expanded word moves back a couple spaces and cuts off the previous word I had typed.  It works fine in Word by itself.  I just don't get it.  If anybody can help, I'd greatly ap ...


ShortCut For Windows And Escription
Nov 16, 2014

Does anyone out there know how to use ShortCut for Windows with Escription?  I've used ShortCut for 14 years, have like 46,000 entries.  When I ran it with Escription, the long form would print out, but it would back up 2-3 characters and delete the last 2 characters of the word before it.  For example: HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS:  The patient is... With Escription, it looks like this: HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNthe patient is. Any and all suggestions would be greatly ap ...

New To VR/EditScript/Escription
Oct 25, 2009

After 40 years on the job and getting tired of typing, when out of a job this last time (there have been so many times of late because of ...well most of you already know how goes it with our profession), I decided to just go for what seems to be taking over transcription anyway.  Thanks to this board and all the talk about the different platforms, I took a job with a company that uses EditScript, and I am thrilled.  In those 40 years, I have had to do a lot of proofreading as a super ...

EScription EditScript 9 Alt L Function
Dec 04, 2012

I must hit alt L 20 times a day instead of  alt K.  Seems like I do it when I'm in front of a word like "in" or "the" - you know, something that is in a document 1000 times....  I usually do alt z to undo it, but once that is done, the red box no longer works until it gets to the last occurrence of the word alt z corrected.  How do I disable the alt L function?  Is there a line to remove from a macro? ...

Most of you know who I work for (Acusis).  I've never really paid much attention to lines on my timesheet cause I had always reached my daily goal in ES.  I do work 10 pm to 2 am so I realize my count may overlap into the next day.  However, I 'really' noticed for this past pay period, that the timesheet counts(which are uploaded by my supervisor which she gets from the client) were off from what ES had(I logged in and checked each day for the past pay period) to th ...

Any Difference In EditScript MT 9 And EditScript MT 9.12?
Dec 29, 2011

Does anyone know if there is any difference in EditScript MT 9 and EditScript MT 9.12?  If there is, how can we update this? It seems that my new place of employments line counting is not the same as my old place of employment.  New employer has EditScript 9, while my old work had EditScript 9.12, and my line count was much more at my previous employer.  Now it seems I can put out tons of work and see not much for lines...  Very frustrating. When questioning my employer now, they say t ...
