Does Dictaphone obtain the accounts for the companies who use Dictaphone EXText?
I was just wondering if this is the same as it used to be.  Dictaphone installs the equipment in facilities and then gets a MTSO to take the account.  Therefore, the MT company never solicits for accounts, but Dictaphone notifes them when they have installed equipment in a hospital.
Is it true Dictaphone is now owned by Nuance (an Indian company)? (sm)

that explains why the downhill slide.

What company uses Dictaphone ExText (other than Focus)?

The company hiring you should provide the Dictaphone pedal or the adapter to play the ExText

Nuance/Dictaphone
They partner with MTSOs who use their product. When a client signs on with Nuance, they are then matched up with an MTSO that uses Nuance's product.
Did Nuance by Dictaphone?
Can someone give me the website?  TIA
I really wish Dictaphone-Nuance
We are out of work. Dictaphone keeps the work and sells it to India for a penny a line. They have a good wage over there and we are going hungry here and can't pay the bills. The alternative is for our MTSO's to stop relying so much on Dictaphone and finding another system. Beating a dead horse I know.
What is the Nuance/Dictaphone/Ex-Text

Does Nuance own Dictaphone?   Is Ex-Text solely a Dictaphone platform?   Is Nuance also an MTSO--do they hire MT's directly? 


Nuance owns escription and Dictaphone
Are your referring to Dictaphone Extext? Which Nuance system?
Focus/Nuance - Dictaphone-offshore
Focus is the offshore subsidiary of now Nuance also known as Dictaphone - they have just formed an on-shore team thus all the new positions - temporary to be sure - they will take any account and then throw it offshore after a while
They are located near Boston, bought out by Nuance (Dictaphone)
currently serving US clients with US labor only as an option. Which is why there is now a US QA team, and perhaps all US transcribing team. Great people, benefits, and job openings. I was the OP who wrote a while back offered a high hourly rate for QA and did a lot of research on them. They are now part of Nuance (Dictaphone) umbrella and I believe a good place to work for. However, I decided against going there for personal reasons, decided to remain with my present employer, but would not hesitate to join this place after doing much research. Also the training BTW is done by US trainer (at least for QA), all information given through US phone calls, AIM and website, written info. So forget the rumors, call or write and ask because I too was unsure, but as stated did a lot of research regarding their status.
I heard Focus was bought out by Dictaphone (Nuance) less than a year ago. So I think it would be a s
move. Nuance's website looks sturdy, and I know dictaphone is doing well, so how can a company with that kind of backing give you any kind of worry? I'd take it. Good luck whatever you decide.
TransTech gets work from Dictaphone/Nuance; not the piece of equipment, but the co.

TT uses Dictaphone's WordClient and ExSpeech platforms. 


Dictaphone (the company) contracts with MTSO's to use their equipment and they (Dictaphone/Nuance) *divide* out the work each MTSO gets.  That is one of the reasons for OUR VERY LOW WORKLOAD anymore !!!!  We would be better off if we worked for a company who is not Dictaphone/Nuance-dependent for work. 


The very few accounts Transtech has -- mostly  overflow accounts -- are Dictaphone/Nuance accounts.  We TransTech MT's wait for Dictaphone/Nuance to throw a few jobs our way, which is NOT happening.  All of TransTech MT's are making LESS than ever day-by-day, paycheck-by-paycheck.  Heads up ! ! ! ! ! ! !


MOST of TransTech's accounts are obtained through Dictaphone/Nuance -- not by any TT mgmt people

out seeking work for all the MT's that they have recently hired on.  That is not a good thing when Dictaphone has control of how much work TT gets, when we can have some work from them, etc.  They have other MTSO's who want work for their MT's, too, so Dictaphone/Nuance has to share with all MTSO's who have contracted with them to use their equipment; thus, doling out jobs as Dictaphone/Nuance sees fit for their good.

Dictaphone/EXText
EXText is the word processing program which works with MS Word and is marketed by Dictaphone company. Transnet is the voice file player that works along with EXText to play the voice files. Hope that helps. :)

Can anyone who uses this program tell me if there is a way to slow down the voice or speed it up?  Thanks for any help.

If a company says they include headers, spaces, etc. in their line count, how can you make certain they are included?  Do you copy the report, place in Word and check that way or what?  Hope this is not a stupid question.  If it is.....sorry.  Thanks.
Does DTS use Dictaphone Extext?

ExText is from Dictaphone

they use dictaphone extext
great platform, although I prefer DocQScribe now. If you have lots of oncology experience, you will do well there. The line count in their program is not accurate, so don't be alarmed. Make sure they give you the link to get your accurate line count. Owner is great, but don't know how much one-on-one he has with MT's now. Staff is very nice, but tend not to respond to technical issues which is why I no longer work for them. Good luck!!

Dictaphone ExText avg pay?
I'm wondering what anyone averages using this platform?  Just started using it, does not seem as fast as straight typing.
ExText with Dictaphone
question - Many times after entering a document using ExText, I realized I had to leave the computer for a few minutes. I closed out of the ExText document and usually even exit out of VPN Client. Even if it's 30 minutes later, when I return to work, that same document is still sitting there. I process it then and that's fine for me, but it makes me wonder why the documents don't rotate. It seems that it slows time down that they are processed because they just sit there for a long time.

Anyone have any idea why the specific jobs sits there? Does that mean no one else is working so it stays at my computer, or does it mean the document is stuck? How to unstick it? Has that happened to any of you? Your thoughts please. Seems to really slow down turnaround time for the client.

Anyone worked on DQS and Dictaphone EXtext?

I need to make a decision of which job to take...the DQS acct wants 5000 a pay period (part time) and the EXtext 7000.   I'm wondering if it would be easier to make lines on the EXtext than the DQS since I've read a lot of people have trouble making lines on DQS.  They are both 65 character lines.  Thanks.


Who uses Dictaphone EXText besides OSi and Amphion?

Dictaphone ExText is my favorite too. nm

ExText (Dictaphone) is platform..
I've never used Extext before, so I'm learning. I really like it so far. It's been easy to learn.
Are there any companies who do not use Dictaphone ExText?....sm

Every company I apply to seem to be using ExText.  I am tired of fighting for lines on ExText, but not sure that anyone else is using an MT-friendly platform.  I am not interested though in Diskriter, Transolutions or Spheris, so if anyone knows of a company other than those three please let me know.  Thanks.

I need information about Dictaphone Extext

I am disgusted with my current employer and want to quit but I really like Extext.  Can someone please tell me what MTSOs use Extext?  I just think it would be easier transition for me. 



 


 


Can answer some. Dictaphone ExText. (sm)
The lines are relatively good, ExText isn't as quick to use as DQS though. Work seems steady, all the accounts I have run into are peachy. I think I was told at one time there were only around 200 MTs, but don't quote me on that. They are growing, but from what I am told they have absolutely no aspirations of becoming a squid.

The people in the office are EXTREMELY nice. I took a cut in line rate to go there and I feel like I bought myself peace of mind with it.

What companies use Dictaphone ExText? (sm)

Am actually just looking for PT, don't care if it is employee or IC.



TIA


If this is a dictaphone Extext account....
I think it has to be a USB port in the BACK of the computer, and it has to be the certain pedal with a phone jack end that plugs in to the special dictaphone little square box...

I hope that helps
Yes, Inscribe does indeed use Dictaphone ExText.

Companies that use Dictaphone Extext?
I'm on the job search and wondered if anyone could recommend those companies using the Dictaphone platform and also hiring. Thanks!
Dictaphone ExText and Vista

I need your help.  Does any one use ExText Client Software with Vista? Is this program not at all compatible with Vista?  I am just about to take my laptop in and have Vista taken off and XP put on but wanted to make sure that I truly cannot use this program with Vista.   Thanks for your help.


 


 


They use Dictaphone's ExText and will supply the pedal. nm
