I have XP and use Explorer 7. Its very easy to use and is only 100 bucks. You can get up to 3 copies of it I think. I really like it and have used it for years. Hope this helps!

Won't mention any particular company here, but I am compelled to comment on the quality of the software.

Demographics are a nightmare. Database for CCs is......I don't have words to adequately describe the mess.
If I enter information into the *fields* too quickly, the system locks up.
If I enter more than one search option, the system locks up.
If I use SH, Ex-Text or other ex ...
I currently am using InstantText as that is what I used when I did straight, but I'm finding that there are limitations to IT when doing editing like you can't assign function keys, etc. Where I currently work they mostly use Shorthand and say its better for editing. but I was wondering if anyone could weigh in with their opinions. ...
Hi Everyone: I currently use Shorthand Word Expander program and I think it is interfering with the PScribe software I have to use for work. When I am in a report and having issues like Shorthand putting in wrong upper or lower case letters, I will turn off Shorthand and then it types the right thing. I have used Shorthand for years but I think it is now not compatible with the current program I have to use. Has anyone had any issues like this? ...
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 ...

Can anyone recommend a word expander program that they have used. I have been doing transcription work for a local doctor for a few years and finally have decided to purchase this as I use word expander in other work I do for a transcription company.

I'm looking for a word expander that really works well with the way I want to type. I want a word expander that expands with any trigger, i.e, space bar, apostrophe, parenthesis, period, comma, etc.
I also want an expander that allows me to build on an existing word without creating an inappropriate word. For instance, my shortcut for lymphocytes is ly. When the VR text gives my essential, and I want to turn it into essentially, I want to be able to add the ly t ...
I am wondering which word expander is the best. If you use one, which one do you use? How would you rate it? How much do you think it maximizes your productivity? ...
I am in need of a text expander that also corrects typographical errors (i.e., corrects teh to the and iwll to will). I know there are several text expander programs out there, but also want one that will correct my typos.

Which is better? What are the differences? I have been using macros in MS Word. I downloaded a trial version of a shorthand program once, but it was a little confusing and it seemed much more involved than recording a macro. Any advice/opinions appreciated! ...

I have Word 2010 and that's what I use to work in but the autotext is awful. I used to be able to type my shortcut and it would automatically pop up when I pressed the spacebar but now with 2010 I have to hit enter which just slows me way down. Also they used to be able to be captilized or not depending on what I typed it in but now, whatever case I save it in is what it comes up as.
It's just a pain and I am slowed way down. Does anyone know a go ...
Its time to renew my PCShorthand license. I was just wondering if there is a better word expander to use with Escription or if I should just be using the Microsoft autotext (or what ever it is called). IF so, is there a way to transfer my PCShorthand files to Microsoft? ...
