Does Shorthand work in BeyondTxt? - former MDIer, now getting moved to BeyondTxt


Posted: Mar 18, 2010

I am thinking it will probably work as I haven't found anything it doesn't work in yet, but just want to confirm.  Not looking forward to yet another transition, which will be even worse if I have to convert my expander.  Thanks.

Yes, but you will not need it. There is so little work on accounts that you - transcender

could do hunt and peck method and still get the same line counts. This place is getting worse by the day

Another MDIer; What OS are you - using? S/M

Do you have XP? I have windows 7, 64 bit. The techs figured out a way to import Bayscribe expander into Shorthand. I had to install Shorthand 10 because of the 64 bit. I am now reading about Instant Text, people saying it is much better than Shorthand. I am wondering if Instant Text would be able to import the Bayscribe expander. I think if you have XP, Shorthand 8 will work.

Transcend/beyondTXT
Nov 24, 2009

Can anyone give me any insight to the BeyondText VR platform at Transcend.  I have been offered a position that pays slightly less than my current company for VR.  The recruiter assured me this VR platform was super easy (but that is her job), so what does somebody who has actually worked on it think?  Can anyone compare its ease of use with Enterprise?  Thanks ...


Going From BeyondTXT To Emdat?
Oct 19, 2014

Hopefully leaving Nuance this week! Going to a company with Emdat as an IC.  I have to pretty much train myself on this (as I expected, being an IC) and so far it seems very similar to the older BeyondTXT.  A lot of the keyboard commands are the same as  BeyondTXT before we were switched to the newer (worse) eBeyondTXT.  Can anyone tell me how user friendly it ends up being?   ...

Comparing Escript To BeyondTxt
Jan 05, 2010

I just started BeyondTxt so I am still new and getting used to the platform but when I worked Escript it was a big $$ maker for me. I'm finding that BeyondTxt does not pick up things like Escript did and a lot has to be redone, sometimes keeping only 1-2 lines of text and having to redo the whole rest of the report for only editing pay. I NEVER had to do this on Escript.  It leaves off words and paragraphs and does not pick up very clear speach. Am I not giving it enough of a chance? I ...


Used To Love Editing, Then I Tried BeyondTxt
Jan 28, 2010

I am dying to go back to working with Editscript where I made good money.  I can't do BeyondTxt.  You can't go 2 sentences without running into at least 1 edit and that is being generous becuase it is usually multiple edits in every sentence.  It has no idea where to put commas.  They either have to be deleted or added.  It doesn't learn specs.  Doesn't know how to use hyphens and adds them to everything.  What is spoken clear as a whistle c ...


I Have A Question For CrankyOldBroad Regarding BeyondTXT
Feb 21, 2010

I worked on DEP before too and heard that we will be switching to voice recognition before the end of the year also.  My question is regarding the headings and how they rearrange things on the back end so that we don't have to worry about formatting.  When I worked on DEP, it more or less did that also.  Our headings were already preinserted and we didn't have to edit them or type verbatim with the headings.  They did the same thing for the canned sections of the re ...

BeyondTXT Platform TERRIBLE
Oct 17, 2012

I felt that I had to let MTs know some information about the BeyondTXT platform.... I have been an acute care MT for 30 years and I recently went with Transcend/Nuance using the above platform. For example, compared to some other programs like DocuMed, Dictaphone, etc., it is absolutely the worst and most unfriendly program I have ever trained or worked on. It is not all-in-one area.  Your work pool is in one area and the document is in another, plus the demographic screens are all over t ...


Account At Trascend Moving To BeyondTXT

So we were informed our account is going to BeyondTXT.  They said this is a great platform and we will be able to more than make up for the 50% paycut we will be taking.  I just don't buy it though.  Does anybody have anything good to say about BeyondTXT to put by fears at ease? ...

Editing VR In BeyondTxt Has Made Me Severely Depressed.
May 02, 2010

I have never felt more worthless in my life.  I work for about half the pay, it takes longer to do because the drafts are so awful.  You get marked down if you don't use shortcut keys to navigate or whatever and the object is to keep you fingers on the keyboard, but you cannot keep them in the position you need to for transcribing or fixing all the problems.   I find my right hand is always on the control+delete key or end key, and my fingers constantly on the period or ...


Here's Another Shorthand Tip...
Oct 17, 2009

Someone recently had an issue with Shorthand and Autocorrect both operating at the same time, and they were apparently fighting with each other, because both of them had some of the same expansions/corrections, so the user was getting duplicate text. I finally worked out a system for myself where Shorthand is used for actual expansions, shortcuts, etc. Autocorrect is restricted to correcting misspelled and mis-capitalized words.If I have done it correctly, never the twain should meet, and I can ...


Shorthand V10 Help

I've been using Shorthand all along on my work computer and love it, particularly the fact that it works anywhere - email, Word, platforms, etc.    I recently downloaded the trial version for my home computer, but, while it works fine in Word documents, it won't work at all anywhere else.  Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? ...


ShortHand - What's So Different About It?
Feb 11, 2012

Ok, I downloaded Short Hand expander program but, for the life of me, it looks just like the standard auto expander/auto correct that comes with word. I've looked over the very brief tutorial that came with it and I don't see where this will increase my productivity anymore than my current Word-based AC/AE work for me. All those Short Hand experts out there (and I believe there are at least a few of you), can someone tell me how this works differently than what I'm already usin ...

Shorthand 10 Help
Nov 17, 2014

Since I'm unable to use MS auto correct with my current platform I explored Shorthand, a program I used years ago.  They've gotten too smart for me.  All I want to do is add words on the fly.  The screen I get when invoking SH10 shows no way to save any entry I might make.  Surely I'm missing something here.  If anyone can point the way I'd appreciate it--enter text, save and move on.  Thanks.   ...


Anyone Use And Like Shorthand?
Dec 03, 2014

Does it work interactively in MS Word?  Can you easily transfer your entries from Autocorrect to Shorthand?  I was checking out Instant Text but apparently now you have to download it, not avail on disk.  I think this means if your computer crashes and/or you want it on a new computer you have to RE-BUY it (at almost $200)...yeah I don't think so!   ...

I'm getting a company computer and will be working on that one and mine.  They don't allow Shorthand (or any other program) to be put on their computer, so need to convert my Shorthand to Word autocorrect entries for the work computer.  I would do it manually (you know, one entry at a time) but I have about 4500 entries and need an automated way.   Thanks in advance ...

Don't know why this is not working . . .  I need to get the "Suggestion Window Font" to a bigger size.  I have changed the font to say Times New Roman 14 and it shows that it changed it in the "Suggestion Window Font" but when I go into my report and run a shorthand word it stays small, never changed.  I got everything else to a bigger font except for this.  I hit "okay" after I changed it. Any suggestions would be appreciated!  Thanks!     ...
