Dr. John Bachman's Dictionaries for Physicians (free)

If you wish to look at some advanced examples of templates used
by medical offices, Dr. John Bachman from the Department of Family Practice
at the Mayo Clinic has created some sample Shorthand templates:
- Family.spf is a general dictionary contains well child exams, some chronic disease dictionaries.
- Physical.spf is a dictionary that helps do physical exams.
The above files were originally taken from Dr. Bachman's web page.
The dictionaries are good examples of how to create pick lists in Shorthand.
After dowloading the dictionary (*.spf) files,
choose OPEN from Shorthand's FILE menu to load in the dictionaries.
If you are a medical transcriptionist, writer, reporter, secretary, virtual assistant, data entry clerk, web designer, programmer,
blogger, copy writer or student, I am going to show you how to work A LOT LESS and A LOT SMARTER to double your income almost
overnight with a revolutionary system that I have used for 23 years.
AUTOCAPS.SPF is a Shorthand dictionary
that demonstrates how you can use Shorthand to automatically
insert two spaces after a period then capitalize the next letter (i.e. autocapitalize the
first letter of sentences).
To Install:
- Download AUTOCAPS.ZIP to your hard disk.
- Unzip AUTOCAPS.SPF from the AUTOCAPS.ZIP file and
copy AUTOCAPS.SPF to your Shorhand folder (the folder where you had installed Shorthand (e.g. C:\Sh10))
- Load AUTOCAPS.SPF into Shorthand by choosing OPEN from
Shorthand's FILE menu.
- Click Shortand's HIDE button to hide Shorthand's Main Window.
AUTOCAPS.SPF defines 26 keywords ".a", ".b" ... ".z" which
expand to a period, two spaces and the uppercase letter.
For example, ".a" expands to ". A" so typing:
one two three.a<SPACE>bc
will end up as:
one two three. Abc
Note that you will need to adjust your typing habit to make
use of the macros: You need to type ".a"<SPACE> instead of
".<SPACE>a" to make it work.
You can merge AUTOCAPS.SPF with your existing Shorthand word lists by
using Shorthand's "LINK" function
(choose CONTENTS from Shorthand's HELP menu and
search for "Linking Dictionaries").
AUTOCAPS.SPF has been tested to work with
Shorthand Version 8.70b and later.
Sue's codes (> 125,000 abbreviations!) are for general English, road-tested on

Spelling is British English.
The list is free to Shorthand users. To install: unzip SHLIST.SPF
from the zip file and choose Open from Shorthand's File menu to
load in SHLIST.SPF. Please contact
Sue Asscher by sending email to: asschers@bigpond.com
if you have questions or comments or want to thank her for

Written by Kenneth Hobson, QCPRINT8 is a free WordPerfect 8 macro that
dumps your QuickCorrect word list to a new WP document. If you
save the document as a text file, you can then use Shorthand's
File Converter Utility (SHCNV.EXE) to convert the word list
to a Shorthand file. (Our thanks to Karen Schouest
for telling us about this extremely useful utility!)
A utility which allows Shorthand to work with DOS applications.
