PhraseExpander – Bewertungsseite 2

Vorteile

The customer support is among the best I've ever experienced with any product. I emailed for a little more guidance and recieved a detailed email response almost immediately.

Nachteile

Initially programming the macros can be tricky, especially if they are complicated. However, this is common to all text expanders that I've tried and PhraseExpander is the most user friendly option that I've been able to find.

Vorteile

It is easy to use , it works and make life easier feels like everything is on your fingertips.

Nachteile

It used to be unlimited now limited to 5 or 6 machines. I think it should be allowed at least on 10 machines. During this pandemic we have home. office actual office and lap tops for comfort you easily run out of number of computers you can install it on. why went from unlimited to very limited.??

Vorteile

The ability to create boiler plate text. Auto correct spelling mistakes. They are continuing to make improvements.

Nachteile

How to remember all the names of the boiler plate text.... not sure how this can be done but would be nice to have some kind of drop down or recall system.

Vorteile

Ease of use. Customer support! Does the basics elegantly. Advanced features not found in other programs.

Nachteile

So far, not really any. The highly advanced macro functions just require a bit more time with the user manual or a little help from customer support (which is superb) and then you're good to go and will be amazed at how much time you'll save in your workflow!

Vorteile

I use an AWESOME EHR (Elation Health), but it does not support full visit templates, so PhraseExpander is a lifesaver. It allows me to set up shortcuts that would otherwise force me to type repetitive phrases, paragraphs, procedure notes, advice given, and forms over and over and over... and over again.

PhraseExpander saves me 30-120 minutes a day of time, but incalculable frustration. I would call that priceless.

Nachteile

Maybe the price, but considering how much time it saves, totally worth it.
I do wish it handled graphics, but my EHR doesn't support imported graphics, so maybe a moot point.

Vorteile

Easy to use and saves tons of time.

Nachteile

Sorta costly with some initial learning curve hurdles. The price is worth it in time saved though and version 5.0 will make the note templates very easy to create making this a easier to use very good template software rivaling that of some of the big EMRs (without the need for IT and multiple committees).

Vorteile

I really like the cost to benefit for my main reason. I really liked the PhraseExpress interface but the cost was hard to muster. Finding the happy medium with PhraseExpander is great. Having the ability create forms is by far the best feature.

Nachteile

Maybe I just don't know how to include it...I do not see a way for the software to add dates...I have a need to have auto calculation for dates but do not see that in the training or my trial and error. I would like for the system to add 7 days, 14, 21, etc...or 6 months from the current month when a student term ends...

Vorteile

I love that you can use this program in any application.

Nachteile

I do not like that if you minimize the program it always hides and you have to go back into the start menu to restart it. I frequently add new shortcuts throughout the day.

Vorteile

Good features for professionals and doctors especially.
More efficient with notes
Templates for doctors
Autocomplete is efficient and time saving

Nachteile

There is a cost to it that some will not be willing to pay.
Sometimes the autocomplete gets it wrong is can be a bit annoying.

Vorteile

I like that I can sync PhraseExpander between the computers that I use. If I need to travel, my PhraseExpander is there on my laptop with all my phrases and shortcuts. It is so easy to add new items into PhraseExpander.

Nachteile

Off hand, I cannot think of anything that I do not like about PhraseExpander. I am just happy with the product.

Vorteile

The Templates (Text Phrases) and Autocorrects. It replaces the MS Word Autocorrect function and works on every text editor (Google Search, Gmail, Trados Editor, MS Word, etc..)

Nachteile

I do not use all the features of PhraseExpander, thus it is not possible to answer such question.

Vorteile

Allows me to save a lot of keystrokes with the repetitive things I type as I document my patient encounters. I bill based on documented work, but talking and counseling patients doesn't get documented, so if I give the same or very similar advice over and over (diet counseling, exercise counseling, etc.), PhraseExpander gives me the ability to quickly enter that information.

Nachteile

I wish it had actual check boxes, but that's a limitation also in the web-based cloud EHR I use, so even if PhraseExpander had it, I couldn't use it.

Vorteile

I love that it syncs with the keyboard, so you don’t have to be in a particular program for it to work. This year I spent time making a complex macro to help me quickly select the correct CPT code according to the new 2021 rules. Saved me a ton of time.

Nachteile

I really don’t have any real complaints, I’m perfectly happy using it daily.

Vorteile

PhraseExpander is a genius product that grants access to quick and easy "fill in the blanks" by using simple abbreviations. We love how quickly we are able to produce very detailed case notes with a few simple key strokes.

Nachteile

This is not so much a con but more so of a desired feature: Voice Recognition would speed things up even more and it would be great if it was also available for the iPad.

Vorteile

I used to write clinical cases for a project with my professors. They liked it very much as it is easy to use once trained. It also saves a lot of time when writing patient records and patient history. Some teachers have adopted in their medical practice. The software has made notes readable, compact and easy to share among staff.

Nachteile

I would like the price to be more affordable for students. because it proved to be a great tool for writing charts and sharing notes as it made them short and easier to read.

Vorteile

I like to program my own templates for every need. Phraseexpander saves much time.

Nachteile

It's easy to use and has many features other programs are missing

Vorteile

Ease of use. Logical construction, glossaries & helpful icons to what is needed. Phrases & Autocorrect are very helpful. Templates - excellent!

Nachteile

A little cheaper for non-profits would be very helpful as we are unpaid. This is not really a "con" but there is a learning curve!

Vorteile

" I am a physician and I like to document my patient's notes while I see them. This software is very intelligently designed with a ton of functionality. I have customized it to my practice needs. It has reduced my documentation time, cut down typing errors and made my notes look very professional.

Nachteile

It is a hard question. Perhaps more functionality in text formatting and ability to insert tables with formulas or calculators can enhance the features.

Vorteile

ease of use, depth of options and ability to modify templates.

Nachteile

unable to do algorithmic templates. (ie. if this box in a list is clicked then do this series of functions and text)

Vorteile

In contrast to other products, PhraseExpander always works flawless.

Nachteile

After years of usage, I'm still confused with templates, glossaries and databases.

Vorteile

Easy to install, the tutorials are informative and the product run very well without crashing
It is customizable to my practice.

Nachteile

none that I am aware of

Vorteile

We use this tool to accelarate email generation as well as LinkedIn messages. Excellent flexibility and the ability to synchronize with other users.

Nachteile

We would like to be able to sync via OneDrive. Not sure if the capability is there yet.

Vorteile

I use PhraseExpander (PE) every day in most communications that I write. PE saves me a tremendous amount of time and makes my job must faster.

My work day would not be the same without PE.

Nachteile

Sometimes slow to respond to keystroke commands.

Vorteile

Easy and fast to use. The software helps to ease the daily work process. Safes a lot of time on writing the same phrases in Support tickets.

Nachteile

Software needs admin access on the computer, what is a bit complicated on company computers.

Vorteile

It's functionality is great and the ability to use macros is very useful. It saves me from having to type the same thing over and over.

Nachteile

It's not cloud based. The UI is dated. The macro windows pop-up windows to enter info sometimes appear off screen and it's almost impossible to find.

Vorteile

Ease of use. Huge time saver. It covers all of the possibilities so you can put a template into another template so if you want to change certain wording you only need to change it once.

Nachteile

When you minimize the screen the application closes. I would prefer it just minimize like other programs.

Vorteile

super easy to add data, many formatting options

Nachteile

creating custom forms was not intuitive; had to re-read helps too many times

Vorteile

The program is easy to learn. Once it is set up, you will save tons of time!
The new medical license subscription can be shared on the multiple computers with the whole medical team.

Nachteile

You have to spend some time initially to set up how you like it since it does not have much customized macros and templates for generalized medical providers.

Vorteile

Phrase expander is everything a medical professional need as a companion for their EMR / EHR and beyond. Many EMRs lack the ability to provide templates to do rapid charting! Well this software would take care of that EMR 's deficiency. The capability of this software removes the anxiety of memorizing numerous abbreviations, since as you type choices appear before you. Many medical softwares do not have the "click-n-go" capability but with phrase expander you can design your own and adds variation and speed to your template charting. Some words are long and tedious to type, well with this software entering the first few characters then the phraseexpander types the rest. I love this software, above all updates and costumers support is superb. Highly recommended.

Nachteile

Hope full functionality in Android apps is added. Although it works there too but its hit and miss.

Vorteile

Easy to learn and to use.
Phrase Expander can help you to save a lot of time each day.

Nachteile

It take resources from your computer and if you don't have a lot of memory or run a lot of applications, this software can be slow.

Vorteile

Ease of use

Nachteile

Some problems merging dictionaries

Vorteile

This software has saved me countless hours that would have otherwise been spent re-entering the same clinical note format over and over again. However, the customer support is the best feature.

Nachteile

I wish that there was a portable version that could be installed on a thumb drive and used on any PC that the thumb drive was inserted into without requiring installation on that PC. Many hospitals use individual thin client workstations at the bedside and nurses stations and individually installing the software on each PC would be challenging; this functionality would be invaluable.

Vorteile

PE saves time and cuts down on errors...employees love that a they can populate notes via PE. I like that the developers are constantly working on making it better and efficient.

Nachteile

iOS version would ideal for C level employees so they can take advantage of the software without using a vm

Vorteile

EASY TO USE software. i enjoyed using it.

Nachteile

no cons for this product. I enjoyed using it.

Vorteile

The ability to cut back on huge amount of typing makes this utility one of my 5 most used software products. Saves me at least an hour a day (usually more).

Nachteile

Wish it had better macro features and made use of punctuation keys in template shortcuts.

Vorteile

Easy to add words, and I don't have to remember how to spell them. Support is quick to get back to me, and hopefully, no question is a 'stupid' question.

Nachteile

There's nothing I don't like at the moment. I don't use the software to it's full though. At present, I am only using the glossaries as part of my role as a medical transcriptionist.

Vorteile

does what I need, customizable & it just works when I need auto correct or auto completion in any application

Nachteile

little hard to configure sometimes but after a little digging around on the web & it becomes a breeze

Vorteile

Ease of use

Nachteile

Initially it takes time to create templates and similar but well worth the effort

Vorteile

It saves an amazing amount of time. Easy to use, as you can duplicate many phrases that you used in the past.

Nachteile

The autocorrect sometimes doesn't work as well as you'd wish but the customer support is very responsive to their clients!

Vorteile

Easy to understand and utilize all functions

Nachteile

Template creation could be a more bit easier

Vorteile

Unlimited amount of templates. Able to categorize in folders. Sync with my multiple computers in my office and at home.

Nachteile

Takes some learning to take advantage of all features. (as expected). But has video on line. This helps.

Vorteile

Adding expansions is fast and easy - updates nonintrusive - interface simple and clean - tutorials excellent

Nachteile

I find it stops working intermittently and has to be restarted on windows 10 - annoying - a little expensive yearly

Vorteile

Amazing capabilities.
Ability to sort shortcuts into folders (Glossaries, and sub-glossaries).
Awesome template functionality
Excellent customization

Nachteile

Advanced features are difficult to understand implement. I'm sure I'm only using about 25% of the software's potential. I would love to see more downloadable templates, and a community forum for sharing templates, ideas and general problem solving. (maybe a Google group, or hosted forum)

Vorteile

It is easy to fill out the medical record and save time. I can use the words I used to use.

Nachteile

You need to prepare your own phrases , it would be good if they give us some suggestions.

Vorteile

The product is quite easy to use . I use it daily and it definitely helps me get my notes done in a timely fashion.

Nachteile

I really feel the phrase extenders are super easy to use and I have not wished there was something different.

Vorteile

I use this ti aid my marking of University student submissions. It is wonderful and saves me time. tem.

Nachteile

Howeve,r the help and guidance could be improved. Sometimes an abbreviation stops working and though I fixed it once after lots of trial and error... a user guide document/pdf would be better than the online help sys

Vorteile

Overall easy to use

Nachteile

Advanced features require a little time to learn

Vorteile

I have to say the customer service representatives are very nice, knowledgeable, understanding, and quick to help! This is CRUCIAL with our company who uses this product every minute of every day. Thank you so much for your continued help.

Nachteile

There are a few features that we have to work around for what we need, but it will all work out in the end. This tool saves our teachers from a LOT of typing to students across the country.

Vorteile

Very easy to use. Autocorrects are very helpful. The best part is the template which is excellent. The support staffs are very responsive.

Nachteile

If there is another pricing method for NGOs or Charitable organizations then it would have been better.
