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.
Yes, because I can't sign into email - WHAT ELSE!!??

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

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
I recently had to have my computer in the shop and they wiped my hard drive clean but the tech did not back some of my files and I lost them. Needless to say I was upset because I had a list of esription hot keys for VR (Nuace program) and Word hot keys. Does anyone have a list of them as I refer to them often. TIA. ...
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. ...
Does anyone here that uses IT have problems with capitalizations after periods in ASR? I know it was always an issue with ASR and even with docqscribe expander, but not sure if using IT would capitaliize the first letter after the period. TIA ...
Can anyone point me to a list for good word expansion ideas? I would like to get my line count up as high as possible and I know the more I expand, less i type, more money I make. Is there a list out there that can help me with the basic stuff I should start with besides the obvious hpi, pe, report headings, etc...
Thank you so much. ...
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 ...
Dictator says, "brought in by SARS" and I don't know what the expansion should be, but it's obviously not the respiratory condition, more like an emergency response team of some kind? Please give input. Thanks. ...
does anyone else have favorite abbreviations they just love using? I noticed yesterday when I typed my expansion for 4th-5th webspace (45ws), I actually got a rush- my heart sped up and I felt like "gee that was fun!" I have a few more that just make my fingers feel good and get a kick out of using. I'm not a newbie - I've been doing this for twenty years. Do I just lilke my work too much? It's these little things that make whole days of typing stuff ...
I have the Shorthand expansion program. Sometimes it will put a space between the first and second letters of the expansion. Not all the time, but often. Is there any way to correct this?
Thank you ...
Hello,
I am going to be using DocQscribe (sp?) soon and I want to know if I will be able to use my Shorthand 10 word expansion software with it. I have been using Shorthand 10 for years and it is second nature now. I can't imagine working without it.
Thanks! ...

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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
I thought my expansion file was unique to me. For some time, I have questioned about expansions being in there that I know I did NOT put in there. I did not think we shared our expansion file. HMMM. ...
Hi all, I have gotten a different computer and now have Word 7 on here as opposed to 2000. What would be a good expansion program to cut back on keystrokes? The techs where I work can only my dictionary compatible if I use the F3 key which is really inconvenient. Is there another program that might be compatible with using either the space bar or enter key? ...
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. ...
I am trying a 30 day free version of Smartype. I used Stedman's in the past and loved it and now they have a new version of it. Does anyone use this? I am trying to get it to work but every time I enter a space to autocomplete a word, it enters a space wherever I press the space bar, even mid-word. Any help would be greatly appreciated. ...
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? ...
I have been using this possibly little-known word expansion program (Shortcut for Windows) for years now and have umpteen thousand macros in it. I just bought a new computer and used the disc to install the program on it, but I can't get it work in Word like it did on my old computer. I tried googling "Shortcut for Windows" to try to get in touch with the company that made the program but no luck. Probably went out of business. Has anyone else heard of this company o ...
Hopefully somebody knows the answer to this question. When I did the 6.1 upgrade, none of my personal expansions were transferred. Is there a way to find that old file and copy it to the new upgrade? ...
Just started 7.1 today.
I believe this has already been addressed, but I cannot find it on here.
With autocap enabled, my expansions with a single letter, such as "t" for "the" and "r" for "right" capitalized the whole word.
Any fixes for that??? ...
Hi all. I would like to know what the best way is to not leave a space after a hyphen when typing an expansion, such as 2-centimeter, etc. I know the formula to make it backspace once, such as with my expansion for -year-old, but thought there might be a better way for this one that I'm not thinking of? Like a way that would work with any hyphen-word combo?
Thanks! ...
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 ...
