shortcut software - medtype


Posted: Aug 03, 2011

What is the best shortcut software?  I am looking at Shorthand, Sylvan Shortcut and SpeedType, etc.  Shorthand seems to take too long.  I need some good recommendations, thanks!!

I love Instant Text and also AutoHotKey. A lot of employers will offer shortcut software for you as well. I personally wouldn't buy ShortHand as many employers offer it for you to use for free. Some platforms also have built-in expanders that you can use.

In my opinion, InstantText is the way to go. It is more expensive, but worth it in the long run and you can use it with multiple kinds of platforms. Remember, you can write it off. I have been using it for years and have tried others. It also has a 30-day free trial. I have full reports with formatting saved with just a few keystrokes. Its awesome.

GET IT!!! It is great! Have been using it for many years. There is so much great stuff you can do with it! It hitches up to all typing programs and platforms. It is actually fun to think up stuff you can do with it. The people at the company are great with support.

Can AutoHotKey shortcuts be saved and transferred to another computer?

Shortcut Key?
Dec 09, 2012

Does anyone know the shortcut for typing the same thing right below something else - such as preop dx, if dr says postop dx is the same. I remember being able to use 2 keys to insert the same thing again.  It wasn't copying and pasting but rather control (I think)+ something else - Took a break from working at home for a few years and now I can't remember this shortcut!  Thanks! ...

Shortcut For Windows 8

Any Ediscript MTs.... How Do You Use The Shortcut Keys?
Jan 22, 2011

Hi all, Any MTs who work on Editscript.  Do you use the shortcuts recommeded by the program or do you do your own workaround and remap keys or use Shorthand to map a different key to do the same or a combination of key commands.  I tried using shorthand to overide the other key commands in Editscript and it will not let me.  I like to use my ALT K and ALT J keys to move forward and back in the report rather than CTL right arrow or left arrow, but it will not let me create that in ...

Anyone Using ShortCut Expansion Program?
Jun 11, 2012

I've used the ShortCut expansion program for 13 years so I'd hate to have to change now, but I'm having a problem with my expansions popping out ever since I installed Word 2010.  They actually come out in slow motion, so slowly that I have a paragraph typed and only two or so words will be expanded.  Is anyone aware of a problem with Word 2010, or if you use the ShortCut program, are you aware if an update is needed?  I do recall needing an update of some sort whe ...

Shortcut For Windows Update

Question On Shortcut/abbreviation Tools
Feb 03, 2010

I use Shorthand for my expander program on my full-time job working on M*Modal platform, but I  just started another part-time job on EditScript, and since I  downloaded EditScript to my computer, my Shorthand expander program is doing weird things, so I  finally had to turn it off, but it is a pain to not have an expander on my full-time job. For example: I have "rt" as a shortcut for the word "right" and it used to work fine, but now it expands as "rtight" and every time I  ...

EScription EditScript And Sylvan ShortCut

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 ...

Shortcut To Return To Beginning Of Audio?
Jan 24, 2013

Does anybody know if there is a keyboard shortcut to get back to the beginning of the audio?  With 6.whatever you just went back to the beginning of the text and then did control m to put the audio there and went to the beginning because of the skip markers, now with no skip marker, it only goes back to where the actual report starts, not the beginning of the ADT, if it will go back at all.  I like 7 way better in all other aspects, but having to manually slide the audio back over with ...
