No special software. Just copy and paste the report you typed to Microsoft Word on your
computer. Under the Tools menu, select Word Count. Characters are listed with or without spaces. Take the total of either and divide by 65 to get your line count. Then match that with what your company is giving you for a line count.

If you don't have Microsoft Word, then you can download a free trial of Abacus line counting software from the internet.
I don't think it's a platform. I think it is just typing in Word. nm

Extext is basically like typing in Word.
Very easy. My favorite platform of any I have used.
Spellcheck can't help you there, though.
Like VR, spellcheck can't be bothered to check context, LOL.
Dano sure needs spellcheck...

No spellcheck? Yikes!

Bayscribe/spellcheck
Thanks! Just wanted to know.

:)
red line on spellcheck
You can set BeyondTXT to red line misspelled words if you go into options when you are doing spell check. 
So, what is a person supposed to do for spellcheck? NM
x
Software, pedal, spellcheck, headset
nm
I distinctly remember their spellcheck was the pits. I
Maybe things will be better with Webmedx
Does Dictaphone ExText come with a built-in medical spellcheck? SM

More specifically, does TransTech's platform have a medical spellcheck?  TIA


With TransHealth's main platform ChartMatrix, the spellcheck is integrated. nm
 
Advise is in SpellCheck. So maybe you should have suggested Proofing Ms Grammar Police.
nm
To the SpellCheck Queen and Grammar Police...Sorry for the errors. I sent it before proofing.
I know it's a MT no-no.
The platform is Word. Their program works with Word but does not change how Word works. nm
The benefits just changed the first part of this month. I don't have them but I remember them being reasonabl for a single person. Family and spouse was not reasonable in any way (in my opinion).
small to medium company that works in Word or Word-based program - email me. nm
nm
ExText is integrated with Word. Auto correct is a part of Word.
ExText is a Word based platform. When the page opens for you to type the document it will be just like you are typing in MS Word.
anyone work for Oracle - do they use Word or a Word-based program - e-mail me nm
nm
Just wanna work in Word - need company that works in WORD! nm
nm
Their program works with Word and does not change how Word functions. sm
You use your own expander. Overall I feel it is user friendly and I like it.
Typed in the USA

To be honest, I was not 100% serious when I posted about starting up Typed in the USA.  But the response from people is so unbelievable that I am starting to.  I'm trying to write back to everyone who wrote to me. 


Do you think the trend might be starting to reverse from the cheap foreign services?  The doctors are realizing that YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. Duh!  And many transcription companies (not all because there are terrific companies too) are losing good employees who want to be paid fairly and treated well. 


Look at all the sign on bonuses being offered in the Want Ads and the same companies posting over and over.  There must be something wrong if you are willing to pay so much for new hires.  I have never run a company so maybe I don't know what I'm talking about, but I would try giving that sign on bonus to the good employees you already have to make sure they stay and produce.  Then maybe you have to hire less trainers, managers and overworked QA people because your employees stay longer and are motivated. You therefore have less overhead.  Hiring more people at lower salary to save money might be a kind of trick that companies play for their stockholders or whatever.  They can say look how little we spend on payroll while they are actually losing money in the long haul when quality goes down and they lose clients. But eventually the piper has to be paid.


Anybody see the movie Wall Street with MIchael Douglas?  That movie is SOOOOOOO right about what is going on today.  CEOs, instead of investing in their communities, became vultures.  They would destroy a company to make money for a few backers and then the workers and community would be left to die.


Sorry to get a soapbox here!  I'm transcribing orthopedics and my mind is wandering!


  


 


I don't know when she typed them
.
cpl - I have never typed for
I have never typed for anyone that required a line rate. Mine were always minutes.
That is funny because I typed in
DocuMed and it came up the very first response. Also, you can type comments on DocuMed in Google and it will show old postings from sites such as this one. I would like some info on them, too:)
The NPs and PAs I've typed for said
things like erythromy-A-cin and digoxacin and larNIX and pharNIX. So are they illiterate/dyslexic? We all know they're reading it from the chart. Amazes me.
OH I can't believe I typed "I was do." I'm so ashamed!!!

I KNOW you have to send it out as if you typed it yourself (sm)
My question wasn't whether I had to send it out at a 98 to 100% standard. My question was whether all of you VR lovers actually do that. I can't in good conscience send out work that is less than my best, but by the same token, I can't figure out how to edit the VR crap fast enough to make a living.

WHAT IS YOUR SECRET????
I realized it after I typed it :)
nm
I have typed oncology only.....
for at least 10 years.  Of course, in my opinion, it is easier to do this because when doing clinic work you have less doctors, less work types and such as that.  For me, the pay is the same as any other MT.  I love typing oncology though and would hate to have to go back to acute care.
Does the Emdat platform use Word or is it Word-based? nm
nm
Are you on straight typing or VR/typing?
x
Yes, typed 3 voice files
The recruiter gave me three voice files and I had two hours to return them.  Not bad, one was kind of hard.  You only have to fill in the blanks, not transcribe the entire report.  Just like doing an edit.  From the time I applied on-line, got a call from the recruiter and tested and then offered a position was less than two days.  They sent me an equipment package and paperwork, I trained and now I am working my way through the three week full QA process.  Nice people so far, I am very happy with Medware.
Ugh, I have typed face lifts before. sm
No way would I want that spoon elevator peeling my face off the muscles and then wrapping my head in gauze. So gross. I'll take the wrinkles any day.
Tssc pays for everything that is typed sm
So if you type a patient name, dob, or dos, you get paid for it.    TSSC works for some people,  for some it does not.   
I've heard and typed that before.
I don't really see the humor, it is just technical terminology. Just my opinion.
I like Typed in the USA, but I would make it Transcribed in the USA
It's longer but better description than typed, at least I think so. Good luck!!!
review typed reports

The only way I know to review reports already typed is they go to QA for anything.  Of course, when new, the MT is on full QA.  


It sounds like the OP is wanting as much info on DQS as possible, so here are a couple things I don't believe I saw in this thread.


Keep in mind that as new accounts are started, there will also be blanks left, usually for demo things, landmarks, etc., so that is a big help, too. 


Bravo! Your message should be typed and placed on
But most importantly, of course, on the desk of every MT company CEO across America.

Greed is NOT good. It's why our entire economy is in the mess it's in today.
Probably typed by templated machine -
I seriously doubt the tech of the physician himself. The company I used to work for also had this and it was a templated program that typed out the report (in other words, VR).
Also wanted to add, if they want spaces typed, they
dang sure better pay for them!
All questions are being TYPED; everyone is on mute. nm
.
typed "thanks" at the end of the above msg, not wha'ts showing there. nm

99% Indian offshore typed - They hold on
to US transcriptionists until a new account is up and running, then let you go. I am friends with someone that did QA for them - she told me that was the company's practice. She no longer works for them because she spent more time retyping reports.
I've typed radiology on Extext...
for several years now and I wouldn't want to work on any other platform. I love it.

The session statistics will vary depending on several factors. I also worked for a company where the ability to view was not allowed, and the reason for this was because the Extext line counting was different from the line counting used by the company I worked for. If the specific contract your MTSO has with the account you work on is not paid by the same line counting configuration, then the session statistics will not be the same as the line counts you get off of the iChart website which are set up according your account's specific line counts parameters.

You will probably find as many people that hate Extext as you do that love it...I for one definitely do love it. Good luck! :)
That's ridiculous. If you have ever typed a pathology report

you would know that.  It is sometimes a double process, typing the gross and then going back in and typing the microscopic. 


I cannot fathom how anyone could offer so little money for those type reports as the terminology is extremely technical. 


easy, typed test reports
no ESLs, typed 2 test reports in under 10 minutes, these are just cysts, skin pathology.
I think she means don't bold it until you've typed
after a space.  Then once you've transcribed past the header, go back and bold it.  Meditech is blah!!  You'll get used to it, but it's not transcription friendly for sure.
speaking, sorry for the typo, but I typed it too fast! nm
nm
It usually is 10-12 lines typed per minute of dictation. nm

Please excuse the typos. I typed fast as this
is such a hot subject with me. I should have proofed before I hit post. The content of the message is 100%, although the QA did not pass well. Forgive me!
