I found Bayscribe to be rather ancient and the spellchecker is outdated. nm

Bayscribe and Stedman's spellchecker

Does anyone know if you can use the Stedman's spellchecker with Bayscribe?


I found their software to be clunky & slow. A spellchecker is to be integrated into it down the
s
Oh Good God. It's an ancient phrase that
was based on fact because that was how their culture was. They believed in trading for things, etc. That doesn't make it RACIST. This kind of overreacting to stuff like this is why when something really is racist, we aren't taken seriously about objecting to it.
VERY unorganized, ancient software, rude people running that show NM

Nothing venomous. My information is new, not outdated. sm

Glad you like your job.  You should be happy people are skeptical.  Means more work for you.  No one likes to see people flocking to their company and taking away their work.


It is a real mistake to identify yourself with the company you produce lines for. 


list is inaccurate/outdated...
I have 3 friends who are CMTs and they are not listed so STOP SCREAMING WITH THE EXPLANATION POINT!!!!!
Very true. The list they give you is outdated.

Out of No.Carolina? Last year they were using MPWord, which was outdated and archaic. And

TS has very outdated platform, and it's very hard to get a good daily line count. NMout

I am confused by you stating that you can't find the spellchecker. what do you mean by that? If the dictionary loads, then that is all you need. it runs in the background. you don't see it. it is not visible. it is just basically an addition to your dictionary. when you type in word, type in a specific medical term and if it is not underlined in red, then the spellchecker is working, but pick a hard one that a regular dictionary does not have. if the word is underlined in red, then try to reload, but make sure all other programs are closed, including your email. make sure your dictionary is set to accept an expanded dictionary.

Since it is a demo, that may be most of the problem right there. but, it also sounds like your Word program is not set to recognize it, either. Open a word document...go up to the tools menu...when it opens, there is a tab called spelling and grammar. click on that. another window will open with some settings in it. about the middle of that window is a button called dictionaries. click on that and make sure that it is set for CUSTOM.DIC (default). otherwise it will not recognize that there is another dictionary to be used other than what Word has supplied. I hope this helps. If not, I would contact Stedmans and maybe they have a suggestion for you. good luck.
And how about that awful spellchecker?
More incorrectly spelled words than I have ever seen. Word is by far 100% better.
i don't think the spellchecker is lacking much more than any other
but the bayscribe is not near as comprehensive as dqs, ie, not as many features. but it is also way quicker to learn. Awesome to get a lost report back, no having to call in. easy to see how you were QA'd. Even with less features, i like it better.
Have to provide your own spellchecker and expander

It DID have a spellchecker, but a really poor one, if I remember correctly. nm

as others have said, increase dictation speed, let spellchecker do it's job

Vianeta also bad spellchecker. Were told to type

Dorland's makes a spellchecker? Thought just Stedman's

Basic word books, spellchecker, expansion software...$450/500?? nm

Re: Bayscribe
Yes! Yes! Yes. Go for it. You will not regret it.
BayScribe
I've worked with BayScribe for 18 months and LOVE it! Everything is on one screen, no toggling through screens between demographics, transcription, and copies.
MDI-MD -- Bayscribe
May I ask you how long it took you to learn Bayscribe? I haven't read anything bad about MDI-MD; they almost sound too good to be true. Or maybe it's just that there really ARE some good companies out there. It all looks SO overwhelming to me that I'm almost afraid to try it. Any encouraging words you can give would be greatly appreciated. TIA.
Bayscribe
You can move through fields using the tab key. Alt D will bring up the doctor's roster.

Bayscribe - Help! sm

I just locked up my keyboard.  It works, except for with Bayscribe.  I'm half way through a long report.  Anybody with any ideas? 


 


 


BayScribe
It doesn't matter. I use the BayScribe platform too, has nothing to do with your LD.
Bayscribe
Yes, Landmark uses Bayscribe, that is if they have any work!
Bayscribe is a lot like DQS. Don't particularly like either much! nm
x
Bayscribe
is MUCH easier to use than DQS! No comparison!
Bayscribe
I have heard this as well and am waiting for the recruiter to call me back as I am very interested. I have heard nothing bad at all about MDI-MD which is great!
Bayscribe

I currently work on the Bayscribe platform and I absolutely love it!  It seems to be very MT friendly and I also get a great line count.  Hope this helps-



Bayscribe
Is this a good platform to work on?
Bayscribe
It's okay--I have worked with a lot worse. Pretty simple and easy to learn.  Doesn't slow you down in any way, I don't think.  
i like bayscribe too,
your cc list, adt, text area, QA comments, are all on one screen.

but i saw recently where about 3 companies were mentioned that use it, and i cannot find where i wrote them down.

its not perfect, but i think you can go pretty fast on it.
Try MDI-MD. They use Bayscribe

BayScribe
It's kind of a bare bones kind of platform, but I really like it. You are not slowed down by opening up a lot of windows for your demographics, transcription page, and copies. You can access your own reports, but as far as I know, no one else's. Hope that helps.
Bayscribe
Do they use only Bayscribe? TIA
Bayscribe

Does anyone know if Bayscribe will run with other transcription programs loaded on same computer???


 


bayscribe
Bayscribe is a lot faster than DocQscribe. It's very MT friendly. The only thing about it is that that spellchecker is...shall we say....quite anemic. Other than that, it's awesome.
Bayscribe
I have worked on DQS and Bayscribe. There are certain features of DQS I like better (being able to insert a doctor's name into the report with a keystroke command, but overall Bayscribe is a lot easier to use.
IT and Bayscribe
Yes, I've had this happen. You have to be careful to spell the first word of the sentence after the period correctly or it sometimes won't capitalize. I'm still trying to figure out what causes this. I think it has something to do with backspacing too many times. This just started happening recently.
Why do you need them in Bayscribe?
the bayscribe Expander and work and my ShortHand works in whatever program I'm in, including Bayscribe.
BayScribe
If you have an internet account, you do not have to input any patient info. I've worked on ExText before, and I think BayScribe is faster because you don't have to wait for the pages to load. You just transcribe.
Bayscribe ?
I am being told that my Stedman's software is not compatible with Bayscribe.  Is there a program on Bayscribe that is comparable to Stedman's?  Is it true that the spellchecker does not identify mispelled words with underling or such?  Thanks
Bayscribe

Sometimes you have to just reboot your computer.  If you keep having problems, I would check with the company not here. 


MDI-MD/BayScribe
I've been with MDI for almost 4 years and have also worked on ExText. I like both programs. I think BayScribe is a good platform with all demographics, transcription, and cc's entered on one screen, which is probably my favorite thing about BayScribe. I do wish the spellchecker was better. You have to enter a lot yourself into it. BayScribe doesn't have as many bells and whistles as ExText, but to me it feels fast.
MDI-ID / Bayscribe
I use Bayscribe for a company other than MDI-MD and I use PC ShortHand also. No one had to download it into anything. I just brought it up and started typing and it automatically worked. However, I am not sure if all Bayscribe platforms are the same. I really like it and do not mind working with it.
MDI-MD/Bayscribe
I was hired by MDI-MD this week and am scheduled to have training this week. I am curious what your opinion would be regarding Bayscribe. I have heard the tech there can get your Expander (mine is PC Shorthand) to work with the Bayscribe software. Is this true? Also, can you use any CDs i.e., Stedman's references, at all? Overall, would like to know what your opinion is regarding Bayscribe. Thank you.

platform SUCKS BIG TIME!
IT and Bayscribe
You need to go to the IT website and download the newest upgrade. It's free and easy to do. That will enable you to use it with Bayscribe.
BayScribe
How do you like working on BayScribe? I have always thought I would like to apply at MDI but not sure about BayScribe...is it difficult to learn? Can you make a good line count on it? Thank you.
