Bayscribe expander problem, putting an extra letter - in front of the word when exspanding


Posted: Nov 25, 2013

Whenever I type a word and hit the space bar, it either does not expand and when it does, it puts an extra letter in front of the expanded word, such as:

bl = bbilateral

cons = cconsultation

It is also slower to expand and looks like it is deleting a letter quickly after I hit the spacebar before expanding.  I looked in the expander and nothing has changed with the actual expander commands.  The only thing different I have done lately is unstalled McAfee and installed Microsoft Security Essentials.  I did do a scan and found an Adware and quarantined it.  Before doing the scan, I had uninstalled the productivity tools (expander) and reinstalled it in case there was a problem with that.  I had also did a system restore to an earlier point and it was still happening.  Can someone help me with this problem by chance?  Thanks SO much! 

I've had an issue for a month or longer - sm

It happens a few times during the day. Some days worse than others. I'll sit here and hit keys and nothing happens, then I get a couple of keys. They I try to type a work and get half the work or it deletes or doubles letters. No solution. share in your misery.

If using windows 8 system, take off the automatic spelling within the system and this has cured the bayscribe problems with expander

ShortHand Expander - Extra Tips Or Tricks ?
May 12, 2013

Well, after a less-than-stellar trial of IT and a bit of a disappointing trial of SmarType, I think I finally found one that works well for me in PC Shorthand.  Really easy to make additions, not too obnoxious or distracting on the screen, and, after playing with the settings, no lag in expanding.   Does anyone who uses Shorthand have any extra tips or tricks to increase its capabilities aside from what is listed in their instruction manual?  So far it's meeting my needs quite nicely ...


A Way To Put My Bayscribe Expander Onto A Different Computer
Jun 05, 2010

Anyone out there in MT land know of a way to put my Bayscribe expander onto a different computer.  I thought it was supposed to just automatically download or something if you were switching computers but mine does not.  I tried upgrading the tools and that did not help and neither did taking the tools off and putting them back on.  Any ideas?  I have a bad feeling I can't do it at all and I sure do not want to put all of my expanded terms in all over again.  TIA. ...
