Question of word expansion software

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 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 ...

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?

does anyone else have favorite abbreviations they just love using?

It's these little things that make whole days of typing stuff ...

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 ...

I have always worked in Word or an equivalent of, however, I have one account in another program that does not work well with my Instant Text. The account is actually quite good and I could produce much more if I could take advantage of some form of production software.

Is there a preferred expansion for BPH? ...

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. ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 used to use AutoCorrect in DQS, and when I put in 72yo, it came out 72-year-old.

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. ...

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? ...
