Text expanders - Laurie

Posted: Jun 23rd, 2022 - 10:46 pm

I have not worked in transcription for a few years and am now getting back into it part time. I am getting a Windows 10 laptop and the job and a recent version of Word. This is a straight transcription job typing in a Word document. I used to use Instant Text and loved it but no longer have it.

Does anyone know of a text expander that will work on Windows 10 and a newer version of Word? I am aware of autocorrect in Word, but with that I would have to start and build up glossaries from scratch. I would love to find one like Instant Text that already has medical terms and drug names built in.

Thank you in advance.

        Common problems? In Shorthand? You mean I was right? - MT3 (Views: 519, 2022-06-27, 5:20 pm)
        Yes, ma'am. You wouldn't be the first person with issues - sm (Views: 478, 2022-06-27, 5:56 pm)
        What you falsely state. Gotta love it, Aye?? Like someone - would have, sm (Views: 445, 2022-06-27, 6:25 pm)
        And furthermore, why not just tell the OP their experience, - instead of brow, sm (Views: 414, 2022-06-27, 6:28 pm)
        You the brow beater, wing man or both - Probably both (Views: 373, 2022-06-27, 6:54 pm)
        Yeah, you really need to curb your drama - You are the one beating this to death (Views: 513, 2022-06-27, 6:53 pm)
        I was responding to a post, having a conversation, you're just trying to defend your bad - behavior, sm (Views: 432, 2022-06-28, 7:19 am)
        ^^Nope. Drama all you evil BSQ^^ - Other posters responded as did you BSQ (Views: 501, 2022-06-28, 12:32 pm)
        Seems you are the one lacking knowledge of how to use - the program. Many use Shorthand with no issues (Views: 382, 2022-06-27, 6:56 pm)
    - Agree with your post. Never had a problem with - PCShorthand either. (Views: 519, 2022-06-27, 11:01 am)
