It used to be you could go into the program and save your expansions to your own computer..Better check on this now..User aco file I think it was called..Anyone else know if we can still do this?

That file is long gone....unfortunately. It's a huge bummer having nothing but headers, and most of those aren't even mine. Lots of them I've created along with what comes in with the software.

Great,,,did you call Phil in India? - nm

Haven't typed today -- now I get to look forward to no expansions. What fun.

We got screwed in the region swap. - CT

You'll have to place a ticket in Remedy. Mr. India told me it would take 10-20 minutes as they're resolving it on a first come first served basis. That was over an hour ago.

And you've lost anything you've added to your dictionary and all of your customizations, t - CT

Look Out For BPH Expansion
Mar 02, 2014

I almost got caught just now, dictated as BPH, expanded BY THE SPEECH ENGINE to benign prostatic hypertrophy. Guess what happens when they catch that? I would get marked off because BPH can be either benign prostatic hypertrophy or benign prostatic hyperplasia, right? Ridiculous. Can't they teach the speech engine not to expand things when they have set the rule not to? Sometimes I have to wonder if they sit around trying to figure out ways to get us, really. ...

Best Expansion Program
Nov 30, 2011

I've been out of transcription for a couple of years and wonder what the most popular expansion program is now.   I loved PRD before it expired years ago.  More recently used Abbreviate for it's ability to provide formatted text (bold print, etc) in the short forms so an entire H&P format could be saved.  Is that still on the market?  I'm not sure if Abbreviate is still on the market.  Any suggestions for current programs.  Thanks m ...

About Word Expansion - This May Seem A Little Crazy, But
Jan 20, 2010

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 ...


Word Expansion Question
Aug 18, 2012

Can anyone tell me if there is another word expansion program that will work in Bayscribe? Either my keyboard is not as sensitive, or that program is just a little slower than ones I have previously used. It seems I am having to hit the spacebar a couple of times to get words to expand, but sometimes this does not always work. I have used Instant Text before, but need to know if others will also work. any suggestions? Thanks! psw ...


Question About QA Marking ISR Expansion
Sep 16, 2013

Just wondering if anyone else has had this happen. I got 0.25 taken off for the dictator having dictated "temp" and the report having "temperature." Had I typed it from scratch I would have typed temp, but the ISR did it and it said "temperature," so I did not change it. Are we actually supposed to shorten the expansions perpetrated by the ISR? Now if the ISR expands BPH to benign prostatic hypertrophy I know to change it back to BPH (I have actually come across this - you think they would mak ...

Question Of Word Expansion Software

New To ShortHand, Problem With -year-old Expansion
Sep 27, 2011

I used to use AutoCorrect in DQS, and when I put in 72yo, it came out 72-year-old.  With ShortHand, it does not expand, I assume because the 72 is attached to the yo and the computer therefore doesn't read yo by itself and therefore does not expand.  Can someone tell me how to enter this into my ShortHand dictionary so that whenever I enter a number plus yo, it expands to XX-year-old?  Sorry for my ShortHand newbieness, and thanks in advance.     ...

Cheap (or Free) Expansion Program?
Apr 25, 2014

I work full time for a company where I am on a platform with a built in expander program, but I recently started picking up jobs for a friend's company when she gets too busy and her staff can't keep up with it. All of the work there is done on Word and would be so much easier if I had an expansion program. The problem is, I don't want to pay $150 for a program that I only will use once or twice a month at most. Does anyone know of a program that is really cheap or free?  ...


Word Expansion Software Troubles

Do Any Of You Use Jump Keys?
Mar 12, 2014

Hello! Do any of you use jump keys?  For example, I have asterisks (*) in all of my templates in places where I need to insert something (vitals, he/she, etc.).. I made a macro that says anytime I use a quick key (for me it was Alt+x), it would jump to the next asterisk and I could quickly type whatever needed to go in that spot.  I recently had some new software put on my computer and it completely took out that macro.  This is bad because these jump keys are a HUGE timesaver!  Unfortun ...
