I don't really have a platform. Straight typing in
either Word or WP5.1, a macro provides all the demographics and only have to type in patient name.    My company isn't hiring currently. 
How about straight Word platform at
Easy enough? Is Meditech anything like that? I've never used Meditech personally.
Straight Transcription vs VR
If anyone has gone from straight transcription to voice recognition, what was the expected increase in LPH, 50%, 75%, 100%? And how realistic was expectation?
Straight Transcription/VR
EditScript
Does KS do ASR or is everything straight transcription?

I absolutely hate ASR, just can't seem to make as much editing as transcribing.


As far as I know they do straight transcription. I don't know
what shifts are available, you'll have to ask them about that. 
When you have to go from straight transcription...sm
to a VR account it is a big deal. I have worked on my second choice and I really am not thrilled with it. The only reason I have stayed with TT was because of TO, as I really, really liked that account and now they are gone. I am glad you are happy with your alternatives, but some of us are not.
STRAIGHT TRANSCRIPTION
Looking for a company with straight transcription. Cannot make money with ASR.  Any suggestions?
MDI-MD is straight transcription....n/m

straight transcription
JLG. The only problem is that they do not have direct deposit right now. Other than that, great company to work for.
OSI - do they have just straight transcription? see msg
How are the accounts/dictators?  I'm thinking of testing but will not do SR/VR - just looking for part time multispecialty clinic work to fill some gaps.  Any info is appreciated.  Thanks!
Straight transcription here...
... and I much prefer it that way. I have never even been asked if I want to learn speech-wreck. I've been at this 37 years, I'm very good at it (if I do say so myself) and I'm fast. It ain't broke so nobody better try to fix it.... :)
Looking for a co. that does not use VR/editing, rather straight transcription

Is there is such a company?  Must pay on time.  Don't need insurance.


Would consider clinic work after 15 years of acute care experience.


Don't like my pay cut in half -- cannot make up for $$$$.   DQS was the only VR platform that was good to me $$$  wise.


What companies have straight transcription

What companies are offering only straight transcription jobs?  A list of these would truly  appreciated.  Thanks in advance.


I should also mention that I do straight transcription, not editing.
I have never run out of work.
I prefer Dictaphone doing straight transcription. sm
When I worked on eScription I liked the platform but doing VR made me insane correcting so many little things like he to she, not to mention I made about $200 less a month.  But, that's just me.
I am very happy at Axolotl doing straight transcription. SM
I have found them to be an excellent company.  Yes, QA is tough - and some people have said that the supervisor is rude.  However, I have had no problems with QA (they do stick right the account specs, though), and no problems with the supervisor or manager. In fact, they have been more than gracious to me.  Now, I don't really know if they are hiring but maybe as there has been a TON of work lately.  Please email me if you want to ask more questions about them.
Do you mean only SR people terminated, straight transcription ok? (Sm)
Surely they would give editors a chance to change to straight typing. Maybe I am misunderstanding this.
Transcend pays more. There is editing and straight transcription. Let's just say..they pay more
than 9 cpl, double of what people will be making at RC Transcription.
Hated VR. Made less money that straight transcription..sm
I was extremely boring and mindless work.  People say they doubled their production/lines with VR.  That is true but remember if you make 0.08 straight typing and 0.04 doing VR, you are making the same amount of money.  I made about 150 bucks less a month because the dictators were horrible and I had to end up typing almost all the reports over.  I will never do it again.
I despise it. You will never ever make as much money as on straight transcription.

Rx Transcription....TX......anyone know what platform they use?
Anything would be great; platform, pay, etc.  Thanks!!!
US Transcription platform
Does anyone work here and if so are you happy? What about this Patriot platform? Is it word-based? I am confused about their info as well like the template 3 cent thing and unpaid time off. Holidays too, very confusing and I am no dunce cap. They want to hire me but I am so tired of let downs as most of us MTs are nowadays. Thanks...

Their transcription platform is horrible,
training and QA are just as bad.  I couldn't get out of there quick enough.
Zylomed Transcription Platform
Trying to determine if info I received on this is correct--can MT working for Zylomed use own MS Word that includes expanders, abbreviations, etc., without having to transcribe into their proprietary software called MT World, as I understand it is called.  The fact that they supply a different foot pedal instead of ability to use standard wav pedal raises questions.  Need to know how this works before making decision to hire on with them.  Thanks for any info.
ExText is a transcription platform
it is Dictaphone ExText. It's a great Word based platform that some companies use for their transcription. Very easy to learn and use!
InfraWare transcription platform?

Has anybody worked on this platform? 


TIA!


T-C Transcription in Florida - platform?
Does anyone know what the platform is that T-C transcription is using now? If you don't know the name of it, is it easy and quick to use to get you into MS Word quickly?
Does anyone know which platform Aero Transcription Inc. uses?

Mucho gracias!


Transcription relief services? What platform do they use?
I understand it is word-based - is this correct? Would like to email someone who works for them. Thank you
Need platform info on CCS Transcription (Florida)
TIA
Trying to find company(ies) using the BayScribe transcription platform?

Northeast Transcription, any info? Platform? Work flow? Anything?

JLG Transcription - Can anyone tell me about them? Pay,weekends, nice staff, decent platform? You
can email me because I want the God to honest truth!  Thanks :)
Is Dolbey STAT Transcription Platform user friendly?

RISS is not a platform. RIS stands for Radiology Information System. The platform sm
would be EXText.
MDI-MD platform is fast, not full of problems like Transcend platform or MDI-FL

On Transcend platform you have to click, click, click all day and still get errors, change screens constantly -  its a nightmare to work in. 


Yes, SPi does use this platform....it's a great platform, but not worth working for SPi. nm

Bad Platform. I personally know of 3 MTs who left because of the platform.
If you are like me, the bottom line is wages and what I get in my check. I have never worked for Amphion, but I personally know of 3 MTs who worked part-time at Amphion before quitting their other service to see what Amphion had to offer before it was too late. All 3 quit Amphion and stayed with their other service because of the Amphion platform. Too hard to make any decent lines.

Something to think about.

Here is one post from a couple days back:

Posted By: Amphion on 2005-12-02

To all of us trying our hardest to grab our work when it is available, and then still only make 24 bucks a day because of the garbage platform.

Let me get this straight
I would guess this relates to the post about changing jobs on people without notice.  Interesting to me that Heartland had a pitiful reputation here and they at least gave people some notice.    I don't think I will be calling Medware.  I can't afford for a company to take my job away in less than a week. 
Ha! S/B look them straight in the EYE when getting
lied to. I am a good judge of people face-to-face, but I really feel the lying recruiters or HR dept or whomever get away with it a lot easier cause we are not face-to-face. Might make it less painful for them to live with themselves as well. They don't have to see the hurt and horror they cause in our lives. Mind you - I can handle any and all ESLs, etc, and any work type, but its the misrepresentation that burns me. Tell me upfront the garbage I'll be transcribing, and then show me that garbage during my early days - don't lie and deceive me.
Let me see if I got this straight --

1.  The recruiter hired you and knew that you hadn't done acute care in a while.


2.  The recruiter told you that the account manager would be made aware of this and take the time to train you on acute care.


3.  The account manager then rips you a new one and basically fires you.


4.  Now, the same recruiter wants you to call this account manager and explain it to her.


Shouldn't the recruiter have done #4 herself and had the account manager call you to apologize?  Sorry, but I gotta say forget this company.  Take the 4-hour loss on the training as a lesson learned and move on.


I get 6.5 for SR and 10 for straight, but that is not what
xx
GETTING IT STRAIGHT
I finally got the straight scoop on this.  My friend said that the recruiter interviewed her initially, followed a few days later, after testing, by a supervisor.  She said that both of them were very formal and rather abrupt, not very personable.  My friend asked the second caller/supervisor about the situation with the supervisor with the bad behavior causing MTs to quit, which was posted a week or so ago here at mtstars; apparently, this supervisor denied knowing anything about that.  However, my friend said that it seemed to her that the supervisor on the phone call was likely the very one that had caused the trouble.  My friend declined the position.
No, 4 for VR and 8 for straight but
the biggest part of my work now is VR. I love it myself, just do not want to work fulltime.
Get it straight.
Please be careful when you are in the interview.
Be prepared to lose your job if you are identified and your picture is taken. Those who work at the Q must remember Linda Perdue. Whistle blowers generally do not fare well and this is something you have to deal with before you do the interview. While this is information that the public needs and deserves to know you are placing yourself in harm's way job wise. Write the body of your piece yourself and tell the reporter that you want to see her final copy before it goes to print. Do not sign anything to hold them harmless. Be as generic as you can be .. national companies do not want negative publicity .. remember Brokovitch .. be smart and listen to every word they say to you carefully before you answer and ask them to repeat so that you know what is going on. Maybe you can tape the interview. Good luck to you.
Let me get this straight...
Because the OP randomly, out of the blue, posted for we 'TT cheerleaders' to LEAVE THIS BOARD AND GO WHERE WE BELONGED, that wasn't antagonistic and bullying, in your esteemed opinion? Taking it upon herself to instruct other posters to go elsewhere because we have a different opinion than that which SHE holds? OMG, lololololol!!!

Talk about hilarious...No wonder people like you are so resistive to learning anything new. You like to set your own rules as you go along and obviously do not play well with others.

As other posters below have said, if you're going to bully other posters around who disagree with you by calling them liars or accusing them of being management in disguise, and attempt to trash-talk TT for moving forward with VR, then good riddance to the lot of you.

But no other poster is going to tell ME to go somewhere else because I disagree with her. I don't believe anyone died and left her in charge. Those of you whining may outnumber those of us supporting TT, but that does NOT mean you are the ones in charge. That is the job of the MTStars Moderator, not some random siveling poster.
Let me get this straight. You are an MT SM
experienced with this account and you are on probation for 3 months? You help train the other MTs, give samples, etc., and you are on probation? Should be the other way around.
It seems even with straight
you are having your problems with the brain fog.
So let me get this straight...sm
It is my understanding that we get to keep...free and clear...our current computer that Amphion provided us in the beginning. Do we have to return the foot pedal? Are they going to remove the virus protection we currently have on our computers and we must provide our own? The email was kinda confusing...Thanks!
This is straight MT sm
and yes, she is on a power trip. She is new and didn't read any of the instructions given to her.
