I love it. It is fast, easy to learn and easy to use.
It's easy to learn...
Not sure what kind of advice you're looking for... I don't think you should be freaking out. It's the best platform I've ever used and it's very easy to learn. I'm sure this isn't giving you anything helpful, but not sure what you want to know.
I usually do it the hard way too, but I learn the easy
way in the process usually. We have to remember that computers are only machines - LOL.
Bayscribe is very easy to learn.
The training lasted about 1-1/2 hours, but most of that was installing it. The trainer went over a few functions and the rest is in the manual, which is very easy. I went from DocQScribe to Bayscribe without any problem. Bayscribe doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles, but it works well. Everything is on 1 screen (all the demographics). I have no problem making my counts on it.
I found it very easy to learn and like V8 even more. sm
I felt comfortable within a half an hour. The demographics are even easier on the version 8 (newest upgrade) and most of them are filled in for you with very little need to make changes. Once you learn the shortcuts the editing becomes second nature. My suggestion is to practice them one or two at a time until your fingers do them automatically and then move on to adding to your shortcuts and eventually you'll be using them all as second nature as normal typing. I do about 90% editing and 10% typing and I'm happy with that mixture, sometimes more, sometimes less. I make more than double my lines with editing so the decreased pay per line equals more than I do with straight typing. Of course there are days that are the exception and I get a lot more edits than usual and it brings my counts down but on a majority of days I will do about 550-600 lines editing and typing about 220 lines per hour, on a comfortable working hour.
Their platform is easy to learn...
Softscript's work interface is three-fold: a proprietary report client which downloads, uploads, and retrieves ADT; an audio player in the background; and MS Word which automatically opens the report for you--all you do in Word is type and save. I don't see why Instant Text wouldn't work; MS Word itself has a similar auto-replace function as well.
The platform is Scribe. EASY to learn and use.
The line count is straight 65 characters with spaces and you can see your count which is important to me.
Today is supposed to be my day off. I needed to do a bunch of errands and catch up and do closets. So far, it's almost 10:30 and I have been on here all morning! I need to scoot!
very easy to learn - good platform
I have worked on a few different platforms and this one works well. Very explicit account specifics as well so it makes it much easier to do your job.
Platform is fairly easy to learn, pay is
low/average, trainers/supervisor are helpful (at least the ones I've dealt with have been), bennies 35+ weeks.
This is Dictaphone's ExText and very easy to learn. Have

Don't know, but similar to typical and very easy to learn. NM

Platform super easy to learn
I had heard horror stories about SoftScript before I accepted the job (realized you can't believe everything and took a chance). I gave them a shot and have been thrilled. The platform is super easy compared to some of the other Nationals I have worked for. Pay is a about 8 cpl, but that seems standard for Nationals. Tons of work.
I would recommend SoftScript to anyone and I have worked for the worst, MQ, Transcend, Medsribe, etc.
easy to learn, but not good for productivity

Medrite is very easy to learn, transcription friendly...nm

Just started it last month. It is nice and easy to learn
as long as you have experience with ExText or ExSpeech....All the things I thought were flukey with ExSpeech have now been corrected in EX Editor. You will enjoy it.
TT has plenty of work. The platform is super easy to learn and
I'm not having any trouble at all making good line counts doing ESL discharge summaries. Super nice people as well.
ChartScript easy to learn/use/good line count?
Please post any experiences you have had with this platform. Also,does Diskriter provide good insurance and have plenty of work?
Is it easy to get required line counts?
They use Dictaphone EX Text platform. Very user friendly and easy to work on.
It is all strictly internet based. No extra phone lines required. They do reimburse your high speed internet up to I think $40 a month, too.
Great place - ExText is easy to learn and user friendly. Good pay. Nice, COMPETENT people.

WordPerfect vs. Word - similar? Is WordPerfect easy to learn? OK with both on one PC? Thanks. nm

I've used both PC SH & Instant Text and they are comparable ... would love to hear comparison (s
Shorthand (or my version of it) seems to have a compatibility problem with the Bayscribe platform Expander ...so I just use ShortHand (I don't know if it's just my quite old version or not) ...
I switched from Instant Text to Shorthand when the in-house Meditech job I was working agreed to install Shorthand for the department.
I believe they both have 90 day or some such downloadable trials.
If you have more than one computer, it's not a bad idea to buy the disk and documentation so if you need/want to reinstall it, it's there ... though that may be old school thinking on my part.
Good luck.
It is easy once you are used to it. I love it! xx

Yes, I use it and love it. No problems, easy
a real breeze. Highly recommend it. They have a 30 day free trial - try it out and see how you like it. I wouldn't work as an IC without it.
Yeah, I love them too, except the real easy ones are being

I love ExText. Why do you say run? It is fast, easy to use sm
and my line counts are right on the money (verified often).
General statements can be misleading. Just because YOU had a bad experience, why tell people to run from a platform that is used by literally thousands and hospitals????
I was down about the account last week but now love it. It was easy to get used to. The first sm
day was really rough, the second was a just as bad but 2 weeks into it and I really like it. My counts are good too, averaging right around 1400 lines a day, which is good for these old fingers. Docuscribe is great, but I have worked on it before for the big Q.
I love ExText, others don't. It'll eat a report once in a while, but otherwise it's easy to

Also love ExText even though the line counts can be low. Easy to use! nm

I agree. I am only part time so far, but I love it. The platform is easy, and sm
the people are great. I feel very fortunate to have stumbled onto them.
I love it here; easy platform, plenty of work, great communication
@@@
I love it! Nothing like the old blue screen Meditech. User friendly and easy to use! sm
I also get paid gross line, which helps, but very easy to use!
agree, IMEs are great $$, easy reports, miss them, would love to find them

Transcend has Escription and EX text. Medware has ex-text.
Deventure I know has Escription but I am not sure if they hire PT or not.
Anyone know of a company, easy clinic work, easy Word format, dependable pay? Help!

Platform very easy and quick - easy to get used to. :)

Love, love, love TransTech! Not overhiring, just growing like crazy!

I too love path & can't find it at home & would love to cross-train into rad in the meantime I do
Not the OP, but I want to learn OPs.
I've done a few of them, but not enough to feel proficient on them.
Never too old to learn
I don't think it is old at all. I went back to school when I was 39 to learn MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTION as I had previous secretarial experience for 20 years but wanted to further my career in the medical field and work at home, which I did. My family was all for it. Good Luck! amj
You can learn a lot
from the Andrews medical transcription website. It is an excellent school, and if you enroll you can learn a lot about the business as well as anatomy and physiology, medical terminology, and all the ins and outs of MT.
Well, you learn something new every day.
I live just outside Syracuse, and I don't think I've ever even heard of them or knew they were here. I'd be curious to know more too.
had to learn not how to learn
I have weekend cobwebs
Learn something new everyday.
I was told I was being changed from DEP to DQS when I trained. So then I guess I really don't know what platform I came from. LOL!
there are MANY links there to learn....sm
about the company - the VERY TOP of the page - I almost missed it myself.....but there's all kinds of info, FAQs, and contact page for any questions you might have that the website did NOT answer for you.
Geesh, you can lead a horse to water, you cannot make them drink it.
And no, I wasn't the poster of that website - it was your reaction that got me curious and so I went to that website and there is a lot of info there....only at the top of the page of the browser......
Do not feel that way. That is how you learn
Actually, you click on the Reply by Email in blue. Good luck finding MTs!!
I don't think they are hard to learn, but they are much more
technical in the terminology, lots of equipment and procedure names that change all the time. It seems that each time a new batch of doctors come in that the terminology is different. They come from other parts of the country/world and they used different equipment or different techniques. Lots of stuff to look up - just like the new drugs.
Oh and learn this new system..
 Be an IC at 7 cpl, and do your assigned work and be our slave! What a joke...
Well sir then just let everybody learn the hard way
Give it a try, see if we're all lying and making this up. There are simply too many people that can confirm the same facts my dear. You will hear the same story over and over and over again. This is such a big fat lie that you're telling. I hope nobody buys into it.
You do have to learn what account? Sorry
if it's a dumb question, but what did you mean by that? You have to learn the account your given or...?
I want to learn escription
Some companies advertise that you must have experience in eScription to be considered for an editing position. Have any of you been hired for an eScription position without experience in eScription? I'm sure I can learn it in no time. New platforms don't scare me. Thanks for your input.
If you care to share your opinion of eScription, I would like to hear that also!
Do you have to learn the language?
