Very easy, user friendly, a little slow and awkward compared to DQS though. (sm)

One of the best features is that you are able to search for your own samples on a particular dictator or patient. You do however have to be aware these are typed by other people and could potentially have errors.

The platform is super easy and user friendly. I have never had sm
any problems getting my lines...plus!
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.
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!
Any information on program called Beyond Text by Transcend? Fast, slow, user friendly?
Can you make decent lines with it?  Is tech support good? 
Great place - ExText is easy to learn and user friendly. Good pay. Nice, COMPETENT people.

Yep. Not user friendly at all. It
requires a lot of going from keyboard to mouse and back and forth. My backup account is Mongoose and I liked it much better.
user friendly software
Is there really a user-friendly software?  Is there one that you don't have to type in demographics anymore or at least get paid for it if you do?  Is there one that is actually fast and doesn't require a lot of changing from screen to screen?  What would it be?  I am not a computer savvy person, but it seems like all this technology is taking us backwards.  Also, I don't suppose you would like to tell us which company you work for.
Yes! There really is user-friendly software out there. /sm
You have to do your research, and ask questions in regards to companies with user-friendly software. Both companies I work for use proprietary software that is Word-based. It is all internet- The IC position software- I never change screens, the jobs download in seconds, press one key and demographics fill in (for which I am paid, including headers/footers)- tab down and there's the page you start typing, One click to physician roster- everything right at your fingertips, i.e. account specifics, BOS guidelines, etc. Full-time position - only two screens (demographic) then transcription screen. Everything at fingertips, doctor roster, etc.
I find it very user friendly. nm

Is it relatively user friendly and fast? nm
nm
that is untrue. once you get used to it, it's very user friendly
and you can move around in it just fine, look up old reports on the same patient or any other for that matter --
Bayscribe is not as user friendly as they say
DocQscribe much better. I agree that Bayscribe takes to much mousing, too many slots. Have to reselect report type after each report even if same worktype. Bayscribe needs some upgrading as far as functionality. Yes, it is doable but other platforms much more productive.
Platform is user friendly. P ay is good. sm
The accounts are good for experienced MTs.

I can't say I produce more on this particular platform, but it is MT friendly. I average approximately 300 lines an hour. That is not my best, as I have done 400 lines an hour on a different platform. It all depends on the dictators.

Good luck to you. If you need flexibility, a decent line rate and don't mind being SE without benefits - go for it.

I prefer SE or IC status, so it suits me just fine.
I love MedRemote! Very user friendly.
Never used CM.
Anyone use Cquenc software? User friendly or not? Thx. nm
s
A lot of programs with their program. Not user friendly.
nm
Platform is extremely user friendly! They are one of the better
companies out there. I would suggest working for them and deciding for yourself.
ChartScript is very user friendly. The only fields in the
demographics section that I need is the dictating physician's identification number.  It's a good program,with flaws like any other, but again, user friendly including very extensive, excellently written tutorial. 
yes, it is word based. And very user friendly. IMO.
nm.
I totally agree. NOT user friendly.
nm
Is TransTech platform user friendly?

Is it difficult to get lines there?


Thanks


 


First they use the Futurenet platform which is VERY user friendly.

however, there is a discrepancy in line counts.  They tend to try to use the line count that the FNET program gives.  I wrote down character count with spaces for each document and found that at the end of the day the FNET program shorted me anywhere from 50 to 75 lines per day.  The good news is you submit a line count sheet at the end of the pay period and they pay you off your sheet.  So if you keep track like I did, you won't get shorted.


My only beef with JLG was that I was hired in to do SR paid hourly and within weeks of being hired they breached their offer letter and contract and forced us all (all SR people) to go onto production, which would be fine except that the ASR program had just started and we were still teaching the engine, so you couldn't make any money on production because you were pratically transcribing the entire report. Then there was the game playing.  When we were hourly and management felt we weren't productive enough, they withheld work.  They wouldn't put any jobs in our queue for days at a time.  That didn't sit well with me.  I'm the kind of person that if you don't like something I'm doing, call me up and tell me.  Don't play passive-aggressive BS games!


I think they treat their MTs pretty well.  I just would be mindful of how some of the higher ups operate.  I think if you go in with your eyes open, you could make decent money on their platform transcribing.


Good Luck!


Has anybody ever worked in WinScribe? Is is user friendly and productive? nm
xx
Does JLG have nice accounts to work on and is their platform user friendly.
:
Has anyone ever worked for co who uses IntraScript? Is it user friendly, productive? Any comments
xxx
Escription is user friendly and 4 cpl is about average for that platform. You could easily do 400
lines an hour. Some people do even 500-600. Good luck with your decision. From what I know, it really is the best VR platform out there and I make more on that than  ever could straight typing.
I love the WMX platform. Extremely user friendly and fast. SM
I definitely do not have to enter a bunch of demographics, which is really a plus for me. I love it here, going on one year now!
I currently work at JLG and love it. Great, user friendly platform.
They leave you alone to type.  Pay on time, never late.  Pretty well organized and good communication.  And they do not offshore!  I be sticking around.   Cubicles 






Is Dolbey STAT Transcription Platform user friendly?

Don't know, but what's slow about ExText compared
s
Can anyone give feedback on BeyondTXT such as user friendly, productive, etc? Any comments welcome.
xxx
I agree that it is an easy platform, but compared to other platforms I have used, lines are harder
to get, probably counted or weighted differently.
Medrite is very easy to learn, transcription friendly...nm
xx
well that would be awkward!!! If they don't pay enough
I used to make $16/hr at another larger company doing QA, not sure if JLG would pay the same.
Anyone know of a company, easy clinic work, easy Word format, dependable pay? Help!

DON'T SEE HOW THE 2 CAN BE COMPARED ...SM

Yes, the economy has taken a beating that's affecting countless good people - but the recession has been in play for a few months and will likely resolve in time, although no one seems to know how much time.  That said, the MT industry has been pushing the envelope for years and years now  as far it is going to go at this point.  Flagrant violation of federal labor laws, abusing time/wage laws, decreasing our pay in an almost geometric pattern lower and lower on a yearly basis - all the while demanding a higher standard of knowledge and skill from us, though. 


The difference in the 2 is that the recession is due to economic factors that have snowballed - but, historically, we've come out of recessions/depressions before, right?  Things got back to fairly normal with a restored economy, restored wages, jobs.  However, not by the wildest stretch of mine or anybody's imagination is the MT business going to improve for anyone except the MTSOs or stockholders. Congratulations, VR technology -- I guess you win here, for the time being -- you sold the hospitals and MTSOs a fine bill of goods.  I did emphasize the FOR NOW ... the gravy train WILL come to a full stop.  The REAL losers, though, will be the PATIENT ... Hey, Suits, I'm talking to you ... I hope that's not YOUR mom or your kid lying in that hospital bed with a  ----ed-up medical record!


Depends on the account. Work on VR lately has been slow. Just like all companies, we have slow times

Honestly though, I have only had 2-3 times in the past 2 years where it was like the other day...no work... It did pick up later but I just think it's important not to make someone think we're overloaded with work all the time. That would not be fair to them if they end up with high expectations.


yes i have compared counts
of canned reports too. Your latter supposition is logical, and being on internet allows for more 'wandering' with ones time as well.
stinks as compared to what?
x
Me too. I'm a newbie (compared to most) and
I find that her (the owner's) direction on spelling is not correct.  I took this job because I wanted to get into the MT field and with no experience it was hard to find work.  I think I made a mistake.  I'm afraid that this stepping stone is going to hurt instead of help me in the future. She's very stern when it comes to a 24 hour TAT but the quality is not there due to her instructions. 
Compared? I said let me tell you a story about me
This is how business is, has been, nothing new and if you let someone's choice of words asking do you need 3 days to reading something else into that, now she is the one who is seeking assistance. Businesses usually have 3 days off for a death. We are nothing special here and the sooner we learn that, the better off we will all be. We are not privileged and why some think this is harsh, terrible, just what it is.
What you get here compared to California
Had my SIL visit last year from Sacramento, CA and she could not believe what we paid for our home. She estimated my home and the homes around in the $500,000 range and up, which was more than most the homes here. I watch the home shows and shocked at what some people settle for when looking for a home there. They have nothing to show for say a home $200,000 or more. I used to live in Atlanta but moved to a more rural area where you can get a show piece for not that much.
No - it is not always slow! Depends on the company and hospital. I have never been slow this time
Slow time is usually in September when everyone is back to work/school from the summer months.

Been doing this 24 years and never slow this time of year. Actually, I am drowning in work - can't keep up.
I love it. It is fast, easy to learn and easy to use.

Medquist. No other national compared that I sm
worked at Transcend, Spheris, MDI-FL, Webmedx. I work for local doctors and get paid by the hour.
Well, platform was very antiquated compared to
what I am used to. Account - I was given an account that was a honey the best! Well, I wouldn't have my worst enemy transcribe it.  Complained - immediately got put on another. Garbage. I don't mind the occasional challenging dictator, but garbage. Unstable platform. Then the old no work thing. Now, I had work, plenty of it, offered OT as brand new employee. Others, though, loyal employees for years, told no work. I was also allowed to work whenever I wanted, but not to tell. Garbage like that. So, while I was in the favored position, it backfired. I lost respect for the company, and also knew I couldn't trust them. While I was favorite today, who knows about tomorrow? Several of us started the same time, and similar run around. Lots of turmoil in the company, rumors, conflicting messages from mgmt - one day apologizing for no work and begging MTs to stay. This was on my first week - I left an unstable environment, so not what I wanted to hear. Just basically the same garbage as M, but M is a huge entity compared to T in the grand scheme of things, so I stuck with M. How's that for cryptic??? I have since heard there were long periods of no work for anyone - board is very quiet here. For reasons I can't really post...
Compared to what I'm making now, "a lot of money"

Not compared to what I used to pay at the hospital I worked for. I have better coverage with sm
Unicare than the one that my hospital used (United Healthcare).  It includes prescription coverage too.  I am about half the premium I used to be.
So all MTs that work for a large service are bad MTs compared to those sm
that work for a smaller company? That could not be further from the truth. Some of the larger companies can attract better MTs with benefits, higher pay, etc than a smaller company ever can.

I think it depends on the MTs, not the service, as to the quality of the work.

I work for one of the companies the OP mentioned and the QA standards are MUCH more strict than smaller companies I have worked for in the past.

Have you compared line counts with 1 space vs. 2?
NM
Yes, even without a raise, currently compared to my other choices, I would wholeheartedly recommend
As far as ESL - yes. Most accounts are 60%+ at least from what I have been offered. However, I would have to say that only on certain days do I get 60% ESL and most the time, I have an easier time understand the ESL dictators more than some of the non-ESL dictators. I guess it is kind of a wish-wash in regards to ESL. I would say even though it sounds like a lot, I think they are pretty comparible at least in my experience.

VR depends on what account you are on. Some of my accounts are phenominal and others not so good. However, they do give you the option to remove dictators (though don't seem to listen to half my requests) if their VR is bad. Plus the pay is the best in the business for VR at least from what I have seen.
