Hi Folks!

As you probably know, medical transcription is a production based business if you are self-employed (and I do believe we all want to get to the point where we are self-employed!). Consequently, finding tools that help us to speed up our productivity without impacting quality is essential to earning a nice living as a medical transcriptionist.

So few people are aware, especially when they first get into this business, of how much medical transcriptionists need to know about software. It takes time to build up our knowledge of the tools that help us organize and increase production.

I am writing today, though, to tell you about tools that can help speed up your output: word/text expanders. Word/text expanders are a Godsend because not only do they ensure that we as medical transcriptionists can speed up production but we can do so without worrying about compromising accuracy/quality of our work. All you have to do is check the information the first time you input it into the expansion program. An additional benefit of using word/text expanders is saving wear/tear on your wrists/hands.

Word expanders have been around for some time and you can take your pick with regard to how much you wish to spend on them. First of all there is Instant Text which can be had for $189 and Smart Type for $199. Ouch!

So I began research word expanders and came across a great product that I thought I’d mention to all my readers, an affordable, versatile, and flexible word expander software tool. HERE IS THE LINK:
NAGARSOFT - SPEED TYPING FOR THE BUSY PROFESSIONAL

Get this: There is a 30-day trial period. Yes, you can download it and try it free for 30 days to see if you like it, which I have done. I think that’s a great deal. This software can also be used to create frequently used blocks of text; open programs, files, and folders; navigate and search the Internet; and e-mail abbreviations (like recipient’s addresses). I also like the fact that I can import autocorrections for MS Word and other text expander tools…that’s what I mean about versatility and flexibility.

So do yourself a favor and check out this great software…save your wrists/hands, save your sanity, too.
