Shortcut and EMDAT - MTinNC

Does anyone know if the word expander program Shortcut (by Sylvan) works with Emdat Inscribe? Thanks!

Yes it does work with Emdat. If you have it already installed and have been using it with another platform, you should have no problem. However, if you are installing it for a "new machine," then yes, you will be running into problems. You have to install it in XP Service pack 3 mode for Windows 7 machines. I lost my registration information and I have not been able to load my ShortCut on my new machine with Windows 8 and when you try to call Sylvan, the phone # has been disconnected, so no help there.

Yes -- right now, using a trial of Instant Text. I was able to load my personal glossary from ShortCut right into Instant Text and really no problems.
Does anyone know the shortcut for typing the same thing right below something else - such as preop dx, if dr says postop dx is the same. I remember being able to use 2 keys to insert the same thing again. It wasn't copying and pasting but rather control (I think)+ something else - Took a break from working at home for a few years and now I can't remember this shortcut! Thanks! ...

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 ...

Hi all,
Any MTs who work on Editscript. Do you use the shortcuts recommeded by the program or do you do your own workaround and remap keys or use Shorthand to map a different key to do the same or a combination of key commands. I tried using shorthand to overide the other key commands in Editscript and it will not let me. I like to use my ALT K and ALT J keys to move forward and back in the report rather than CTL right arrow or left arrow, but it will not let me create that in ...

I've used the ShortCut expansion program for 13 years so I'd hate to have to change now, but I'm having a problem with my expansions popping out ever since I installed Word 2010. They actually come out in slow motion, so slowly that I have a paragraph typed and only two or so words will be expanded.
Is anyone aware of a problem with Word 2010, or if you use the ShortCut program, are you aware if an update is needed? I do recall needing an update of some sort whe ...

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. ...
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 ...
Hi all,
I am a fantastic transcriptionist. One thing I am not good at is math. Can someone please explain to me in simple terms how to find your rate of pay for the week, day, etc. I am just drawiing a blank when it comes to this. I watched the Enrich presentation, but as soon as I clicked out of it I was unable to download the form that tells you how to configure your pay. Also, can this be done by the day or does it have to wait until the week ends. Thanks ...
I use Shorthand for my expander program on my full-time job working on M*Modal platform, but I just started another part-time job on EditScript, and since I downloaded EditScript to my computer, my Shorthand expander program is doing weird things, so I finally had to turn it off, but it is a pain to not have an expander on my full-time job.
For example: I have "rt" as a shortcut for the word "right" and it used to work fine, but now it expands as "rtight" and every time I  ...
I just started an account using EditScript today and I can't seem to get my Sylvan ShortCut program to work with it. It works sometimes and not others and very slowly, showing one letter at a time. I already tried excluding it from my Avast antivirus (I think I did it right) and it seemed better for a minute and then right back to the same thing. I ended up closing it and working without it, but I can't do that all the time or my production will suck. Has anyone ...
Does anybody know if there is a keyboard shortcut to get back to the beginning of the audio? With 6.whatever you just went back to the beginning of the text and then did control m to put the audio there and went to the beginning because of the skip markers, now with no skip marker, it only goes back to where the actual report starts, not the beginning of the ADT, if it will go back at all. I like 7 way better in all other aspects, but having to manually slide the audio back over with ...
