need good free expander - help!


Posted: Jan 30, 2014

My computer crashed yesterday and I had to buy a new one.  The word processing program that was installed on my new computer (Word clone) does not come with an expander, you have to pay extra for it.

Are there any really good, easy to use, preferably FREE expanders out there that I can download?

Thanks!

phrase express is a free download - - just me

www.phraseexpress.com - works like Word's autocorrect

Thank you! - OP

I downloaded it, but then found out that the Word clone program wouldn't work with my transcription program, so I ended up having to purchase Word. I hope your info will help someone else, though.

Thanks again!

After 20 years at MM and 5 years transcribing before that, I'm officially retired.  MM was a great job when I started. It allowed me to stay home with my kids when they were small and I even made a good wage but lately...this company has gone to the dogs and I am so happy to be done with it.  There was a time when we were professionals not just typists working for peanuts. I will miss transcribing but I will not miss MM. Au revoir MM.  ...

2014 - Not A Good Year For This MT â But I Found A Good Fit (finally)
Jan 12, 2015

Rarely do I start discussion on mtstars - however, 2014 was a particularly challenging year for myself - an experienced MT/Editor (15+ years). However, I realize that many other MTs may be in the same position, i.e., having many years devoted to working at the Big MTSOs including âthe M,â and âthe Nâ and (now to be included) âthe Tâ following close behind in total numbers of MT/Editors on staff. (Hint: Sure most of you know the M, the N and the T - and the names have been int ...

After working for MQ for nearly 5-1/2 years, I'm finally leaving.  The first 5 years were great!  Then they decided to force QAs to do transcription and ASR.  If I wanted to transcribe I would have applied for an MT job.  Not to mention the fact that I was making close to $16 an hour and now this has been reduce to around $11 and sometimes under $8.  It's MQs loss.  It's too bad they don't treat their valuable employees better.  I just love ...

Judging from some of the recent posts below, there looks to be an exodus of sorts from MModal and MT in general. I have joined that group. I left MModal last month to pursue another at-home job NOT IN MT with flexible schedule, hourly pay, and pays substantially more than what I made at MModal. Don't know what took me so long to "take the plunge" away from MT. After many years of MT with 12 of those years being with Medquist/MModal and the last 7 on the same accounts, I already miss the wo ...

So I finished my MT course and began to look for work..It is going well other than I was contacted by, for now I will just say a company, I transcribed some audio files (not medical, which I found odd when she contacted me but okay) took me several hours, met the deadline, filled out the W9 form (with social security number) and sent it off. We had two seperate phone calls. She e-mails me that once the report goes through the proofing process and their system that I will get the repor ...

Woohoo! Got the job offer today.  At long last I am out of transcribing.  I feel such relief I cannot even believe it.  No more production pay at poverty rate.  No more frustration of broken promises.  For those of you staying, I really do hope the latest promises of hearing you and making changes will be kept.  And for those of you who keep saying quit whining and do something about it if you are unhappy, venting doesn't mean we aren't doing anything ab ...
