Horrible spell check, had to C&P onto word doc. to use spell checker. Slow, used ADT which did not

Does Dictaphone ExText come with a built-in medical spellcheck? SM

More specifically, does TransTech's platform have a medical spellcheck?  TIA


No, that's what spell check is for. nm

I don’t have to spell check here
and I was showing what I find, did you not read my posting about what I found in the neurologist's office, a sign spelled sureries.. I am not perfect, did not say that. You should edit yourself.
spell check is not, that is why I said you have to know how to look things up.
Knowing how to spell or thinking you know how to spell a word is not enough.

Good grief. Read everything.

Can you comprehend
please spell check before you post
advice is with a C.. NOT an S
I think spell check, proofing and the sm

other things you mentioned are a given for the job. When I say proofread, I mean type a report, then go back and proof, not proof as you go. I am sure we all do that.


Everyone, regardless of what they are paid, should spell check, know their accounts, know grammar and punctuation usage, etc.


I am sure many would lose money if paid hourly, sounds like you are doing well, good for you! If I had the attention span I am sure I could make what you make. I should make that my goal this year. However, how many times on these boards have you read that I am only making $3 an hour. I have read that more than I have read that people are making what you make.


What about your benefits? Do you have retirement with matching contribution from your company? Do you have health insurance, dental, vision, etc, paid for by your company (or at least sharing the cost). Do you  have paid days off? Please, I would really like to know. If I am making $30k a year with the above benefits, essentially I am almost making what you make with my benefits, wouldn't you think? I would have to run some numbers, but I think we would come very close in salary.


Also, depending on where you live, $30k can be good money. If you live in Hawaii, which is the most expensive state to live, $30k might not get you far, however, if you live in Missouri, $30k might be great money. Let's face it, $50k is not that great if you live in downtown Manhattan.


So, we throw in something else to think about, cost of living. Since an MTSO generally hires nationwide, is the cost of living of your employee a factor in what you pay?


I would think that the way an MTSO pays is generally driven by being competitive with the next company (our prices are lower)not necessarily based on cost of living or taking into consideration the education and experience of the people they are going to hire.


I agree, it's not the greatest, and I'm only saying that because of the spell check -sm
You don't have to do a lot of nonsense just to get started like you do if you're working with Lanier or Dictaphone. The only thing you have to take note of is your job#. And that you don't even have to if you don't want to, but it's recommended and I do it.

I personally count the lines myself and have found them to be 100% accurate. Of course these programs can vary, but the one I'm using is a good one and they're exact or, if anything, a little higher. I know I'm not getting cheated.

Hope that helps.
I am sorry. I was going to thank you for paying attention and doing a spell check.

Thanks


Precysers, if you have loaded a good spell-check,
Just click on my hidden e-mail address if you want to correspond privately. 
BARE BONES. Not bear need a spell check!

Docs can't be trusted to spell medical terms correctly much less a doc's name. NM

Similar to DocQScribe, expansions go in auto-correct, horrible spell-check. nm
nm
Check Amphion Medical Solutions
They may--At least I know they outsource a small percentage of their work to Canadian MTs.
I know how to spell, but you dont have to know how to spell so much
as how to look things up.

Why are you cutting on me? I know how to spell. I won my school spelling bee and went to state.

The poster above me was putting people down that cant spell.

You can work at McDonald's but I am doing fine with what I am doing.

Thanks anyway for your wonderful advice but i dont need it
I know. They THINK they have built in their
seniority benefit in their PTO plan. Ahhemmm. Hahahaha
No. They have one built in. But I think sm
if you speak with tech support they might (don't quote me on it) be able to convert it for you. Nothing is windows based and no internet. You build your shortcuts from scratch.
yes, they have their own built in...sm
spellcheckers AND autocorrect functions. Some (including me) prefer Chartscript, others prefer Bayscribe. Since Chartscript uses Word, I was able to still add my updated Stedman's medical spellchecker program. Bayscribe does not use Word.
Does Bayscribe have a built-in
medical dictionary?
Yes, purchase (or have one built)

Yes, I would like to purchase one or if it is more cost effective to have on built I would like to do that. The platform that I use now is VERY expensive. If some knows of a company that can build one for me I would appreciate the info.


Use the ESP expander built in - you put all your own in.
nm
They are being built in Mobile, AL
So at least the jobs will be here.
You should see the new house he just built! nm

The built-in templates for the ones you create
nm
Bayscribe is a breeze, with a built-in expander sm

similar to PRD+.  I think also if you have Smarttype, you can convert your abbreviations as well.   Another nice feature is that you get your line count with each individual report, as well as your total for the day with the amount of money you made -- kinda nice. 


I think the majority of the work is acute care, but I think there might be a few radiology and clinic accounts.  I'm really not sure.


Good luck!


They use a built-in expander like Auto Correct
nm
Correction: They owned the other one and built this which one which is much larger. sm
I just read this in one of the magazines and asked my lead if they were moving far. She said it is literally across the parking lot from a small office to a huge building, taking on the whole building. I am thrilled to be part of a growing company instead of the sinking ship I was on!!!
Irony - MQ is closing offices and Keystrokes just built a new one. sm

I was part time with MQ and full time with KS and now will be KS only.  I am radiology, make great money and have a great lead.  I would recommend them to all MQ MTs that are thinking of leaving.


The email is KeystrokesNow@aol.com.   The fax is (630) 729-3177.


We do not have a referral bonus, I am just trying to help everyone that is feeling displaced.


Yes, it comes with Stedman's built in. You'll love the platform, it's
the easiest I have worked with.
Can anyone tell me what platforms are similar to DQS that have their own built in line counters etc

that are good platforms with companies.  I dont need to know all of them just a few of the most used ones would help.  I only have used DQS. 


No, they built a new one last year and moved into it in October or November. sm
I think they have a really big office now, from what I heard.

They use SpeedType built in to their system - works just like Shorthand.NM

Sounds like you are talking about ExText - I love it. I use my shorthand AND the built-in ESP.
nm
I love it. Expander is built into it, as are site notes, sample reports,splchk. nm

Can you spell?
"capatalize"

WRONG!!
I can't believe it either, especially since she can't spell
gawd!!!!
Not much, not too, not too - She can't spell so
IMHO
Of course, if I could spell it would help! Sorry. nm

Can you spell
India .. big time.
Spell it without the w and maybe you will have a

little bit more luck.  Diskriter. 


and by all means - know how to spell -
especially RECRUITERS!!
spell decent!
nm
you'd think I could spell my pseudoname right at least.
nm
so you think you can spell right? HOW? By looking things up!
I plainly said you have to learn how to spell check and to LOOK THINGS UP.


READ PEOPLE

guess I can't spell either.
I meant taxes not takes.
spell it "unprofessional" -- one 'f', not two
!
Spell correctly.
Maybe their line rate was low because you couldn't type well. It is atrocious
does anybody know how to spell redundent
?
Who cannot spell the word anything.

The word anything is a no brainer.  Boy, you're sure a little high on the horse, huh?  I'm not the OP, but where's the support here ??????  Cut the OP a break.  She's venting!  Oh, you must be QA.........


Can you spell audit?
They may not pay you a visit by ringing the doorbell but they can audit you and this encompasses 3 years of returns and you better have each and every receipt for each and every item you claim. It is not a pretty picture at an audit and can cost you dearly.
