bayscribe is easy to use? - Debra Jean


Posted: Feb 17, 2011

I just found out that the company I work for is going to start using Bayscribe next week. I never heard of it untill now.  I currently use Word with my own word expander. Does any one know if it is productive and easy to use?

I have used it (sm) - digiti minimi

The expander is not the greatest. If you make a mistake on an expansion and need to correct it, you actually have to take the whole thing out, go back to the beginning of last word typed and put abbreviation in again. In other words..it is rather cumbersome. Nothing you can't get used to. Just don't let that frustrate you..

I use Bayscribe - sm

Bayscribe is a pretty simple and straightforward program. It's not too different from typing in Word, but it doesn't have all of the bells and whistles that Word has.

You didn't say which expander you use, but I know that Bayscribe works with both Instant Text and Shorthand. So hopefully you'll still be able to use your same expander, because the other poster is right, Bayscribe's own built-in expander leaves a whole lot to be desired.

Overall, I think your transition from Word to using Bayscribe should probably be fairly easy. I actually like Bayscribe a lot because it's an easy program to use and very productive for me. Feel free to email me if you have any other specific questions, I'd be glad to try to help.

Go stand somewhere in public.  Maybe connect up with Occupiers in your area.  Just stand there with your sign.  Have a friend take a pic,and post it online.  Maybe stand outside a local hospital or other health care clini ...
