Starting Smart Type - grace
Posted: Nov 22, 2013
I have downloaded Smart Type on Word 2007 but it does not start when I open a document. Could anyone tell me what I have to do to get it running. Thanks!
Do you see the ST icon (red circle, white S)? - nm
I downloaded the trial version of Smart Type and have been trying to use it for the last two days. I think it might work for me but I have a lot of word expanders in Word 2010 that would take me forever to duplicate in Smart Type. Is there any easier way? And how long does it normally take to become proficient in using this program. Right now it is slowing me WAY down!
Thanks for any help you can give me. ...
wondering about how stable stedman's smarttype is for everyone else. I have used the program for years, but noticed recently odd things happening. Has anyone else had unexpected things happen with smartype and word 2007. What could I replace it with that would be its equal? Call the programmers consortium who made the program originally, but no one knows anything. Could use some light shed on the subject.

By sharing how to make a macro in Word 2010 for the following 2 things: I work in eScription.
Remove a period and space and uncap the next word
and
Add a period and 2 spaces and cap the next word
Is this even possible to do?
This would be so much help on my poor old wrists with the 100% VR (I'm actually almost happy for the low work volume lately...they hurt so bad). I researched high and low but could not find an understandable, easy way to make a ma ...
Hi all, I purchased a new computer over Christmas with a very large screen due to having poor eyesight. Everything seems fine until I get into ChartScript, where everything is so very, very small. It is worse than with my smaller screen. I have to literally stand up and put my nose to the screen to make sure I have correct patient info in the demographics, etc. Any suggestions? Is there something on the screen itself I can adjust, or do you think it is within ChartS ...
Back in the mid and late 80s, I was VERY proud to be an MT! MTs were savvy and SMART. In fact, they were SO smart -- or at least knowledgable and proficient -- that docs RELIED ON THEM to repair poorly dictated or hastily dictated transcription.
My friend/former boss is a rheumatologist who constantly used to say, "I KNOW you're a deep thinker, so WHY are you a medical transcriptionist?" Until recently, I didn't really understand why he aske ...
So far this week I have had 2 hours on Monday, 0 on Tuesday, 0 Wednesday and 30 minutes today. Last week I only got 8 hours.
Emailed TSM about changing books of business and she said no one is looking for first shift, although I doubt she even asked since she emailed me back almost immediately (which never ever happens). Also, there are some MTs on here who say they have plenty of work, so why won't she send me there? Asked me to switched to late 2nd shift. However, there is still ...
I work in Dictaphone /EXText. I am dependent on my Stedman's Smartype for 100s of 1000s of terms with which I am not familiar, and to which I have total access while in EXText. However, I am not able to pull Smartype Smart Blocks (which I have created while in Word but not in EXText) into a current document. In the past, I got around this problem at work by creating "instant macros," going into ctrl-s, cutting, pasting into current document and using as a g ...
The lines per hour are way lower than what my TSM has reported to me. Plus, 5% QA submission rate????? I don't think so. I rarely send reports to QA. Although, the "Smart" report bases the percentage on lines sent to QA rather than percent reports sent to QA as we were told was used for the QA submission percentage. ...
Hello,
I was interested in becoming a MT because I recently became a mom and would like to work from home. Can anyone tell me the best way to get started? Is there a class/ school you recommend? Or is there a book I can study and take a test to get certified? I am financially strapped so which would be the best for me? I currently work in the medical field in the ER as a Doctors Scribe so I have quite a bit of medical terminology. Thanks for your input! ...
Has anyone found it incredibly hard to find a job outside the home after working as an IC for a long period of time. I apply everywhere and never get a call back. I recently lost my job as an IC and don't want to even bother with MT work anymore. I have been spending time online and applying everywhere. No one wants you to apply in person anymore. ...
Nuance is any better than it's getting around here at MM? I see they want experienced MTs rather than newbies in one of the ads, so that would sound like they'd expect to have to pay better at least. I used to think this place was better, but not lately. Does anyone here work for both currently, or even recently? ...
I was just wondering how hard is it to find new accounts in order to do medical transcription out of your home? Just about anyone that I have contacted has the new EMR or they already have someone doing their transcription. ...
