Does the Emdat platform use Word or is it Word-based? nm
nm
Is that a Word-based platform?
I just applied for that position and they e-mailed me with some questions.
Word based platform
Are there any GOOD companiesthat work on a Word-based platform?
they run off a word-based platform
it's not very stream-lined and kinda klunky, but efficient enough.  I know they've made recent updates to make it run a little faster, but there were times when i would spent two to three minutes after filling out the screen waiting for my work screen to appear. 
The platform is not Word, but it is Word-based. I
had little Word experience and the recruiter told me to try to find a book to learn the basics of Word as their program is Word-based. 
Their own platform. Shorthand, Word based. nm
.
It is their own platform but not word based. Shorthand is the macro stuff.
Pretty decent place to work.

MDI-FL - is the internet platform/MS word a good

platform.  I understand they have about 4 different platforms.  I would be interested in the proprietary internet platform that uses MS Word.  Is it user friendly and productive, can you see your line counts immediately, what type of short cut Expander is used, and the type of voice player to download jobs?


Thanks


small to medium company that works in Word or Word-based program - email me. nm
nm
anyone work for Oracle - do they use Word or a Word-based program - e-mail me nm
nm
It can if it is word based
Any word based Expander can be copied over into Medware.
DVI - MS Word based
nm
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).
But I thought that was not Word-based. Is it? nm

Is Emdat word-based?
nm
Meditech word-based?
Anyone working for company that uses this?  From my understanding they count lines according to the amount of minutes you type.   Those of you experienced on this version of Meditech, please share some insight.  Thanks.
What is Iscriptor (Word based??) and ... NM

No, it's not Word based at all, totally different...nm

It's not word based - keystroke combos are different. NM

Sounds great! Is it Word-based?
I am totally clueless about it!
yes, it is word based. And very user friendly. IMO.
nm.
It's Rapid Text-a Word-based
program. It has most of the templates built in. Very user friendly. Pretty much, if you can type in Word, you can use this platform.
MT-World Transcription - which is word-based. nm
/
?If it's not Word-based, it shares a lot of the same commands..sm
So whatever. Ctrl-C, V, X, etc. Agree it can be slow but has gotten better. By far not the best I've used, but also not the worst. Almost last, though. ShortHand is crap, but you can use IT. Good luck.
Word based expanders work with Merit
Hope that helps
Word-based, expander included, easy to use...NM

iType is word based, iText Expander SM...
is included in the program and it works great for me. They were able to import my old PRD files right into it. Cost zero. You do need your own spellchecker. Pretty good program, reasonably MT friendly.
Do they use MT-World software? Is it Word based? Easy? Productive? Thx. nm
s
Similar. ExText is Word based. I prefer it to Meditech for ease of use.nm

Is it an internet-based platform or VR? What is wrong with it?
nm
If they say internet-based ASP, is that just the platform, or is it voice recog? nm
xx
Do you know any MTs who use Word for their platform?
nm
Thanks. What platform do they use and is Word compatible?

How about straight Word platform at
Easy enough? Is Meditech anything like that? I've never used Meditech personally.
I don't think it's a platform. I think it is just typing in Word. nm

If you are working in a Word platform
and not some confabulated platform, then the autocorrect that is part of MS Word is more than adequate for macros and expanding words. That is all I have used for the last 10 years and do just fine. Save your money.
FN uses iType platform for Word...nm

Company that uses MS word insteadof their platform.

Did  a search, did not come up with any.  TIA


I type in Word and use the Scribe platform...
but I don't use a C-phone...
It does work, you do not need to "make" it work.. it works in all word based programs.

To the IC's is 10 cpl based on 65 characters a good
rate for an IC, even with having to pay your own taxes, social security, vacation, sick time and all.   How does this all pan out in the long run.  I'm a single parent and tired of all the crap I've taken the past 28 years as an employee - but too afraid to step out and work as an IC for fear of not being able to meet ends, covering for my own insurance and all.  Any and all feedback would be appreciated.
Yes, it's totally word based, but it's also totally slow.
I haven't had a very good experience using dictaphone EXText. I wouldn't recommend anyone work on this platform. I don't know how anyone can say this is a very productive platform in any way whatsoever. Actually, it is the worst I've ever worked on. I like Bayscribe, DocQscribe, and many others over this setup.
They lose as many as they get. This would be good for US-based companies BUT it leaves
a bad taste in the mouths of all involved, which can make them hesitate to try another company. Lose/lose for everyone IMO.
Strictly IC, good company, hard accounts, good platform.
Good pay, always on time, no direct deposit though.
Is Transcend a good company with a good platform to work on. They are advertising.

Can anyone tell me who a really good SE company is that is solely internet based and are nice to
work for with decent accounts. Thanks much.
No, but if you put in a good word for me with my supervisor I'd appreciate it. :)
