SH10 and Speedtype 10 - anonyme

Posted: Sep 22, 2011

I have used shorthand (various editions for years). I had problems with it on my new computer and switched over to Speedtype 10. I had trouble getting SP10 to accept the files I switched from Shorthand. Now, shorthand is acting like a child. When I close it out, I get a message that says ST10 .exe not functioning and it freezes my computer. The same goes for Speedtype. Has anyone else had this problem? It started on both all of a sudden and the only way to use them at all is to totally shut down. I asked Speedtype if I could just delete the program and download again and have received no reply except to question my ability to manage what I am doing with both programs. Hello.........I plan on using one program on the accuont I worked on for many years and ST10 for a newer account. For $200, it seems maybe a little help would not be unreasonable. Has anyone had trouble with the .exe function in either program and what did you do to fix it? Thanks

are you using Win 7? - hmmm

I recently downloaded SH10 and noticed a disclaimer that it does not function properly and is not recommended on the Windows 7 OS. That could be part of your problem, although I was using it short-term on a laptop with W7 with no problems. I never licensed it though, only using the trial version.

I have been using Shorthand on Windows 8 typing directly into Word 2010 and 2013 for over a year with no problems. I recently went over to a new account using my Shorthand and Word 2010. I have gotten my speed up on this account and have noticed that when I get in a rhythm and type faster Shorthand will freeze up and will not work at all until I completely reboot. In the bottom right corner it will show as the program still running. When I open Task Manager, it is still t ...

Hi. Just hired at Nuance. They want us to use Autocorrect. I want to use SH10 as it is easier and much more versatile. Nuance says as long as it works with Word, then fine. SH10 suggests disabling Autocorrect. Any advice, comments, or suggestions? Thanks. ...

Hi All. I have an opportunity to purchase SpeedType and have been reading about it some. Currently I use just the expander or Autocorrect that comes with Word to make little handy helpful hints for words I use lots. Can anyone tell me the advantages of Speedtype versus what comes with Word, pros and cons, etc.. Thanks ...

I am working on EditScript 9.12 and SpeedType 10.01b on my PC with Windows XP Pro and Word 2007 with very few problems. I bought a new computer which uses Windows 7 and Word 2003 and cannot get SpeedType to work on the new machine. I have talked to SpeedType and they say it is the Editscript platform causing the problems because SpeedType works in Word, wordpad, email, everything except Editscript. Is anyone out there using Windows 7, Word 2003 and EditScript 9.12. ...

I just installed SpeedType & I am FRUSTRATED! Could someone pleeeeease give me the specific steps to copy a block of text that you have just typed into the SpeedType dictionary? I work for a company that promised 90% editing, 10% transcription, but so far it has been 100% transcription, and there are no templates for the big 4! And since we're not supposed to cut & paste anymore, I got SpeedType so I could make my own templates, ONLY I CAN'T MAKE IT WORK!!!&nb ...

Since the old Smartype does not support Windows 7 or 8, only XP, I bought the new (not Stedman's anymore) Smartype. It is not very good at all. I contacted Speedtype, which looked really great, similiar to the old Smartype (I can macro large blocks of text for OP reports) and spoke with the CEO!!! REALLY?? She was fabulous and told me there was a shortcut to get your old blocks of text into Speedtype without cutting and pasting. I have not tried the 15 day trial period yet ...

I'm trying to decide on an expander and already eliminated IT as beyond my capabilities. I'm looking now at SH or ST. Can anyone explain to me what differences there are between these 2 programs? I'm flipping back and forth between the 2 websites and am I missing something or are they essentially the exact same program but one is less expensive? Also, can anyone tell me if either or both of these programs allow identical names for abbreviations or do they require dis ...

I am thinking about taking a position using an EMDAT platform. This is not a big company, just a nice woman who works from home and employs a number of transcriptionists. I have never worked in a platform, so really have no clue what this entails. My biggest concern is being able to use SpeedType, as I have thousands of entries and rely on it heavily to do my work. The thought of using another word expander, building a dictionary, etc., does not thrill me. The ...

I am currently an Exact-Med student. They give each student Speedtype. I had been using it, but my husband updated our Soundcard and then it said that my license for Speedtype was no longer valid. So I had to purchased a new llicense for a "new computer" since by updating the sound card it changed settings on our hard disk. Then we went on vacation and turned our computer off for 2 weeks and when I restarted it, it says my license is not good anymore....don't know why, but apparentl ...
