I have a Shorthand Icon on my MModal provided computer desktop...

Have any of you had this problem? (1) Most days, when I first start my PC, the desktop icons won't appear. I'll get the background screensaver picture, but nothing to click on. Is there a certain combination of keys you can hit to make the icons appear? Or to open Explorer? Currently the only way I can deal with this is to shut down the PC and then restart it. Sometimes it takes as many as 4 or 5 tries before the icons will finally appear. (2)&nb ...

The Web/Nuance part has been told next year we have to buy our own Shorthand license. I know Transcend downloaded for me (and am still using at my PT job) shorthand licensed to MDI way back when.

Those of us working from .07 to .08 cents per line with a service are making .03 cents per line less than we made 25 years ago.

Someone recently had an issue with Shorthand and Autocorrect both operating at the same time, and they were apparently fighting with each other, because both of them had some of the same expansions/corrections, so the user was getting duplicate text. I finally worked out a system for myself where Shorthand is used for actual expansions, shortcuts, etc. Autocorrect is restricted to correcting misspelled and mis-capitalized words.If I have done it correctly, never the twain should meet, and I can ...

I've been using Shorthand all along on my work computer and love it, particularly the fact that it works anywhere - email, Word, platforms, etc. I recently downloaded the trial version for my home computer, but, while it works fine in Word documents, it won't work at all anywhere else. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? ...
