Transcend - BeyondText platform - what text expander do you recommend?

Are there any Transcend MTs who can tell me what their BeyondText platform is like? Is it productive? User friendly? Easy or hard to make your line counts? Also, from what I've read their platform seems to be a mix of typing and ASR. Is it mostly all one or the other, or is it a mix of the two? I'm thinking of applying, but kind of want to know what I'd be getting into first. ...

Thank you for any information!! ...

In school, we were given the opportunity to have a 4-month trial of Shorthand for Windows. I really enjoyed using this program and had considered purchasing an extended license for it when I become employed; however, I thought of the MT industry heading more towards SR/VR editing and wondered if having a text expander would be useful at all. Any inputs? I'm currently using Word's AutoCorrect as a substitute. ...

Could anyone give me any recommendations for a good general text expander (starting an ASR job in a couple of weeks)?

Hi all. A new job has just fallen into my lap at a fortuitous time. My regular job has fallen off drastically recently (we're all familiar with this "syndrome") and I thought I was just stuck. Anyway, this other job uses WebChartMD platform for transcription and there is no text expander program associated with it. My current job has a built-in TE, so I haven't had to use a commercial/free product in a long time. I'm wondering any ya'll have any ...

I have been working on trying to increase my speed with expanders. So far I've been using Microsoft word to enter expanders but I'm wondering if that is enough.

I'm shocked at the price of a few of these programs and hesitate to purchase one. ...

I received Speedtype from the school I am going through to learn Medical Transcription. It worked fine and then we started having computer issues and my husband decided to upgrade to a newer version of Windows. To make a long story short, the new version of Windows was put on a separate hard drive in the same computer, but for some reason when I would log into the old hard drive to use Speedtype it would say I no longer had a license and would have to purchase a replacement license....so I did ...

I can install it and start it and it looks like it's running fine but when I enter text that should expand, it just doesn't. At all, in any program (Word, Firefox, notepad, etc). Their site says that it should work just fine in any Windows-based program and it has since Win98, up until now. We all know ho ...

Hi, I am a happy PC shorthand customer but now will need an expander that works in WordPad/Notepad or Open Office since I can't afford the Microsoft products.

I downloaded the trial version of Instant Text and used the Importer to import my Bayscribe expander entries through Text File.

I'm returning to MT after several years away and working as an IC. As the shortcut/word expanders I used in the past were built-ins or others with dictionaries that are no longer available, I'm wondering if there are any text expanders that come pre-loaded or have existing MT basic word expansions (tp = the patient, hpi - history of present illness, etc.) or that have ones ready for download.
