When I signed off yesterday everything was fine and when I signed on this morning many of my expansions had a quotation mark at the beginning and missing the last letter of the expansion. Has this ever happened to anyone else? Does anyone know why it might have happened? ...
I followed the instructions of a poster below for importing my .acl autocorrect to Instant Text V via the importer. It seemed to go. The question I have now is when I open Instant Text on the bottom right I see glossaries, the first glossary is for the transcription department of the company I will be working for. Then the second position shows my MSO1033.acl. When I highlight that, all my entries are there. But when I close the program and then open again, the MSO file is not there, and I have ...
I was forced to switch to Windows 7 and I found that Stedmans Smartype was no longer compatible. After shedding some tears, I am searching for a new one. Does anyone have any suggestions about any medical text expanders that are good and work similar to Smartype (that work within WORD). I am currently looking at Speedtype...does anyone have any reviews on that? Thank you!! ...
In school, we were given the opportunity to have a 4-month trial of Shorthand for Windows. I really enjoyed using this program and had considered purchasing an extended license for it when I become employed; however, I thought of the MT industry heading more towards SR/VR editing and wondered if having a text expander would be useful at all.
Any inputs? I'm currently using Word's AutoCorrect as a substitute. ...
Could anyone give me any recommendations for a good general text expander (starting an ASR job in a couple of weeks)? I use Phrase Express right now, but I don't like some of its limitations and bugs, and customer service stinks. I'm really interested in hearing from someone who has tried a couple and has a preference and why. TIA! ...
I can't remember how I got the text expander ShortCut to work on my Windows 7 32 bit computer. Anyone know how? I orginally got ShortCut from Sylvan Software, but I can't find their site, so maybe, they are out of business.
What are good text expanders? ...
I was looking for software(possibly free!) that will allow you to not only speak in microphone and transfer to text, but can transfer to text from a voice file or recorder. HELP!!! Thank You! ...

Hi guys,
Do you happen to know any free text expander compatible with Windows 7?
Would appreciate it very much if you could help me with this.
Thanks.

I'm studying to be an MT (although, reading the posts on the forum, I'm beginning to wonder about that choice), and was wondering what Text Expander software was preferred by most MTs. What do you all like? ...
Hi all. A new job has just fallen into my lap at a fortuitous time. My regular job has fallen off drastically recently (we're all familiar with this "syndrome") and I thought I was just stuck. Anyway, this other job uses WebChartMD platform for transcription and there is no text expander program associated with it. My current job has a built-in TE, so I haven't had to use a commercial/free product in a long time. I'm wondering any ya'll have any ...
I have been working on trying to increase my speed with expanders. So far I've been using Microsoft word to enter expanders but I'm wondering if that is enough. I would like to have an expander for blocks of text. Have any you purchased a text expander program and is it worth it? I'm shocked at the price of a few of these programs and hesitate to purchase one. ...
I love Smartype, but a real fear is that at some point I will have to upgrade from XP--and Smartype is not compatible with the new versions of Windows. Does anyone know if there's any way to accommodate the Smartype shortcuts with a new platform/expander? ...
Are there any other expansion programs that lets you use the same keyword for multilple entries like Instant Text does? For example, CVA could be either cerebrovascular accident or cardiovascular accident... ...
I received Speedtype from the school I am going through to learn Medical Transcription. It worked fine and then we started having computer issues and my husband decided to upgrade to a newer version of Windows. To make a long story short, the new version of Windows was put on a separate hard drive in the same computer, but for some reason when I would log into the old hard drive to use Speedtype it would say I no longer had a license and would have to purchase a replacement license....so I did ...
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 ...
Hi, I am a happy PC shorthand customer but now will need an expander that works in WordPad/Notepad or Open Office since I can't afford the Microsoft products. I tried FastFox but it won't import my Shorthand. I need a new expander that will import or else that has importable files. Any ideas? Oh yes, can't afford Instant Text or other high-cost expanders either. ...
I downloaded the trial version of Instant Text and used the Importer to import my Bayscribe expander entries through Text File. Either this was the wrong format to use or I did something else wrong because the entries are not expanding. I was able to get the abbvs.glo file to show up in the glossary entries.
Can anybody help with this? Thanks in advance. ...
I'm returning to MT after several years away and working as an IC. As the shortcut/word expanders I used in the past were built-ins or others with dictionaries that are no longer available, I'm wondering if there are any text expanders that come pre-loaded or have existing MT basic word expansions (tp = the patient, hpi - history of present illness, etc.) or that have ones ready for download. I seem to remember one I used in the past that had a basic dictionary already available that t ...

Does anyone know how to convert wma file to DSS file? I am using Express Scribe but, for some unknown reason, the sound quality is very poor. I thought if I could convert this to DSS it would sound better on my computer. Any ideas? Also, anyone know what else I could use besides Express Scribe (free) to play these files? THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I'm new to IT and have a question: How do you bold text? I went into "Edit" and see several options but not for bolding.
Yes, it's probably in the manual but I'm on the clock right now so hope someone will post it here.
Thanks! ...
