Yes, I use it. What I like is the 2 features you can use, simple text and rich text (there is a window showing simple and click a drop down shows RICH text.

Which mean when for instance you make a heading that is bolded and cap, you use this feature. Say with DocQscribe, they use headings that are RED capped and bolded with a symbol to create this. I make headings save it and using RICH TEXT when saved and then assign each saved heading I make and give it a number or alphabet and up it comes.

I make a sheet showing heading and number/alpha assigned. Works good, less keying in for each heading.



assign a number 10 and it will bring up the symbolized heading in red.

I have about 60 something headings.
So say use a 1 (you need to add something to it such as 1x, 2x, 3 x etc so you can use the number 1 without problems in your text.

Text Expander (Rocket Typing)
Sep 17, 2012

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 ...

Would that maybe be an option for those of us in need for work?

Typing A Physiatry Clinic Notes - Has Anyone Ever Heard Simvastating
Feb 12, 2015

The doctor says the patient is simvastatin 300 mg, metformin 1000 mg b.i.d., glimepiride 2 mg b.i.d., multivitamin, and calcium.  The patient has myofascial neck and shoulder pain and is diagnosed with fibromyalgia.

Do You Use An Expander?
Aug 16, 2010

I've been doing transcription for 20+ years and have never used an expander program (such as Instant Text or Shorthand), except for what one can create with the Auto Text/Auto Correct functions in Word. I straight transcribe an average of 180-190 lph.  If I were to purchase an expander program, by how much do those of you who use expanders think I could increase my production? I'm thinking about getting the InstantText free trial and seeing how I do, but then decided to take a l ...
