Shortcut for Windows and Meditech - bon


Posted: Oct 04, 2011

Cool  Howdy....Anyone work for Keystrokes?   Do you know if Shortcut for Windows works on Meditech platform?

shortcut for windows - nn

[ In Reply To ..]
I don't work for Keystrokes but I did work for another company that I believe utilized Meditech and I had problems using my Shortcut for Windows. Also, I just had to get a new computer with Windows 7 and our current tech could not get it to load/work right with Windows 7. I called Superior Global, who developed the program and while they no longer support it, the tech was able to get my Shortcut to work with Windows 7. You might want to give them a call.

Thanks a bunch - bon

for your response....I have windows XP still and haven't tried it yet on Meditech, just now getting set up at Keystrokes. I heard that it was a problem but maybe it is just with windows 7.

Shortcut For Windows 8
Dec 30, 2013

I was using an old version of Shortcut for Windows and it was working nicely on my old puter.  I got a new puter for Christmas (Thanks to my hubby - I think he wants me to type faster/more!) and I can't find my disk to load the Shortcut software onto the new puter - I'm not even sure it would work on Windows 8.  Can anyone recommend a word expander similar to Shortcut?  I'm not finding Shortcut for Windows available online.  Anyone?  Thanks - Kathleen ...


Shortcut For Windows Update
May 03, 2014

I call the telephone number on my program disc and they said that the company that developed Shortcut for Windows had been bought out by Superior Global but that they were allowed to provide tech support for Shortcut.  They were able to get mine to work with Windows 7 and M/S Word on the new computer but said that Shortcut would not be able to go past Windows 7 and that I should start looking for another word expander and start transferring short forms or macros over now while I have time. ...


ShortCut For Windows And Escription
Nov 16, 2014

Does anyone out there know how to use ShortCut for Windows with Escription?  I've used ShortCut for 14 years, have like 46,000 entries.  When I ran it with Escription, the long form would print out, but it would back up 2-3 characters and delete the last 2 characters of the word before it.  For example: HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS:  The patient is... With Escription, it looks like this: HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNthe patient is. Any and all suggestions would be greatly ap ...

Windows 7 And ShortCut Text Expander Problems.
May 02, 2010

So I bought a new PC and it runs Win7. I've got everything up and running, my platform and audio player works great. BUT...I can't get my expander to work properly.  I can install it and start it and it looks like it's running fine but when I enter text that should expand, it just doesn't. At all, in any program (Word, Firefox, notepad, etc). Their site says that it should work just fine in any Windows-based program and it has since Win98, up until now. We all know ho ...


Shortcut For Windows On A Word-based Platform
Jan 30, 2012

I've used Shortcut for Windows for years always on a Word-based platform.  Now I am using it in SpeechMotion which is not Word based.  I need to know if there is anyway in Shortcut to set up a code to jump where I need to enter text.  I have normal templates in Shortcut and have used an * to indicate a jump-to field.  I had a macro in Word that let me jump to the *, but there is no way to set up a macro in SpeechMotion.  Any help would be appreciated.  ...

Meditech/EMR
May 23, 2011

I work for a small hospital and we have just recently started typing our H&P's into EMR. The problem with EMR is that it uses Word (not Microsoft Word) and we have no auto correct and no medical spell checker. We were told that we could not get either installed in the EMR. Does anyone know if this is true or not? Also, we were told that we could not cut and paste into the EMR, which is what we had been doing due to no auto correct or spell checker, because it is noncompliance with the H ...

Anyone Hate Meditech As Much As I Do?
Jun 29, 2012

Anyone hate meditech as much as I do?  It is impossible to type more than 50 reports unless you work more than 8 hours a day.  They dont care if you work more than 8 hours a day, (cause there is tons of work) but don't put that on your time card.  You have to work on your days off cause you don't make enough money unless you do.  If you only get paid 1 dollar per report you can go on disability for the rest of your life and pretty much live on 900 a month anyway.  meditech has so ...
