Any recommendations for a good spellchecker and word expander program that doesn't cost an arm and a leg?
Check out this great expander. About $80 and worth every penny. sm - Txczech

THe WP expander I used would fill up etc and had a glitch on the version I used. This is so much better I think.

Can anyone tell me if the medical spellchecker programs and expanders in the transcription companies are good or would I be wise to invest in say Stedman's spellchecker and Shorthand 10? I am specifically thinking about applying to Inscribe. ...
I'm considering updating my computer and presently have a Dorland's Medical Spellchecker Version 3.0. I'd actually like to use this if it will work but, if not, I'm wondering if the Stedman's 2007 will work with 2010. ...
Using Word 2007. Installed Stedmans Spellchecker 2010 . Test shows the speller is working. Upon spell checking document it does not allow me to add words to the dictionary. That option is grayed out.
I've followed instructions found online to correct this in Word but that does not solve the problem. I had EditScript downloaded to my PC , but have not used it yet. I wonder if EditScript disabled this feature in Word?

Is there a way to import or convert my Bayscribe word expander file (thousands of entries) into 2010 MS Word's autocorrect and/or dictionary? Thank you. ...
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 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.
Any advice/help you can offer will be greatly appreciated! ...

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! ...
Hi,
I have recently updated my Office Word from 2003 to 2007. I knew where my autocorrect/word expander was in the old one, but the new version llooks a bit different. I am trying to locate where this is in my menu bar, does anyone know where I would find it?
Thanks! ...
What word expander does MQ use? Our hospital is going to begin using the MQ platform (whatever that is??) and we are wondering if Shorthand will work with it? Thanks for any info. ...
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? ...
By NCH who has ExpressScribe.
Just wondering if it works adequately. I use the autocorrect in MS WORD and like it pretty fine, except long statements do not go in and I cannot get the autotext to take them either.
Thanks ...
