I use ExText and love it
I use it with OSi. I also use Shorthand, and it works just fine.

I really like the searching capabilities... You can search by worktype, doctor, patient, and by MT (so you can pull up your own old reports). The search features are the best thing in my opinion. They've saved me a lot of blanks.

ExText and I love it

I love ExText
I have never worked in Chartscript before, so I can't say anything about it, but I do work in ExText and LOVE it. It is so very easy to use and very easy to make a great line count in. I do all ER reports and discharge summaries, and it is great.
What platform are you on? I am on Extext and can't get to 200 lph

DD & ExText is the best platform ever EZ

OSI..ExText platform ..nm

I use EXText with Medware and love it
Very easy to install, I had typed on EXText at a previous service so I was familiar with the platform, but it is quite easy to use.
I'm on an ExText acct with MW. Love it! nm

I work in ExText and love it
My main account is mostly templates, and it is an extremely easy ER account with about 8 doctors. I easily do between 400-500 lines per hour on that account. My secondary account is on Chartscript, and I do about 300-350 lines per hour on that account. I love them both.
ExText - iChart platform -- HELP!!!
I am starting with a company that uses this software.  I've never used this before and I'm FREAKING OUT.  Can anyone offer any advice on this software?  Bea
ExText is a transcription platform
it is Dictaphone ExText. It's a great Word based platform that some companies use for their transcription. Very easy to learn and use!
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.
I would love to know too, I love EXText

I love ExText...calm down..it'll be okay
ExText is extremely easy. You've got your demographics screen...easy...and then you're in your document.  You know what's great about ExText? It's so easy to search for past reports by provider, by patient, by MT.  It's very straight forward and a very easy system to learn in my opinion.  You get past the demo screen, finish the document, ctrl-N, it spellchecks, you're done. Voila!
I loved Bayscribe ... also love ExText ... sm

really haven't found any platform I truly hate.  Nowadays, you just have to be adaptable.  I used Wordperfect (DOS) back when it was 3-something, and I knew it like the back of my hand.  But everything changes ... so now I know Word and various derivations ... Iscriptor, Extext, Webnedx's platform (a bit cumbersome but still doable), the old YOG Cottage program ... you name it.   I no longer work there (I wanted to be an employee and have benefits and such), but I think anyone who walks away from MDI-MD because they hear negative things about Bayscribe is doing themselves a huge disservice.  I made 11 cpl when I left, had decent accounts, and great liaisons.  To stick your heels in the sand and say Bayscribe stinks just seems foolish to me ... but that's just my opinion.  Opinions ... and ... uh .. other things .. we all have them (smile).


Of course, I also have to admit, still going back to my WP51/PRD days ..... I LOVED PRD, and have adapted to similar Expanders such as ShortHand and autocorrect in Word and such ...... but I watch people on this board exclaim about how wonderful Instant Text is, and I want to puke (ha).   I worked for Healthscribe for about a month (it's not even here anymore, and they were the kingpin of offshoring, I later discovered) ..... I hated that stupid popup box and such with IT.  I want to just use my own little abbreviations I can memorize and hit the space bar.  But that's just me.  And if I found a great company who insisted I use IT .... I'd learn to like it, or at least tolerate it.


Uhoh ... this started out as just a defense of Bayscribe (honestly, the line counts on it are great ... I did a minimum of 300 lph, and if I really focused and had some good dictators, it could be more like 350, and I only have about 1000 abbreviations) ... and somehow I got sidetracked.  Sorry ..... sign of an old lady up too late at night with no brain left (ha).  


Bottom line ...... I have been an MT for a long time.  If I can ever help anyone with anything, I'd be happy to try.  Feel free to email me anytime. 


Totally agree,I love ExText
I have been working in ExText for months and love it. All of my lines are very accurate and I make an awesome line count every day working in it. I wouldn't want to work on any other platform!
I love ExText. Why do you say run? It is fast, easy to use sm
and my line counts are right on the money (verified often).

General statements can be misleading. Just because YOU had a bad experience, why tell people to run from a platform that is used by literally thousands and hospitals????
They use Dictaphone ExText. It's a really great platform.

I am working on Extext platform for another company
huge difference in line count, same type of reports, same hours. I can nearly double what I did there in the same amount of time. I don't know quite what the problem is but a lot of people have complained about it and we still haven't gotten an answer to our satisfaction. I have talked to people who left there and who posted their story here and elsewhere and they got a threatening letter from the company attorney. Absolutely no grounds for this, folks are just relating their experience.
Have any of you ever worked with EXText and RISS rad platform?
Very interested in pros/cons of the RISS and how it interfaces with EXText. Please feel free to email if you prefer
I love ExText, others don't. It'll eat a report once in a while, but otherwise it's easy to
s
Also love ExText even though the line counts can be low. Easy to use! nm

I agree. Extext is the platform I've ever worked with. nm

Sounds like you are talking about ExText - I love it. I use my shorthand AND the built-in ESP.

LOVE the platform!
I love ExText! It's one of my favorite platforms. I have honestly never had any problems with it before.
I love the ES platform....
Some of the dictators on my account are so dang great, at times I just put the speed all the way up and can just listen through and upload it...AMAZING platform with the right dictators!
Companies using Extext/Ichart
I got a very interesting email from the Ichart team from Dictaphone.  I had written them because I had been questioning my low low line counts with a particular company that I am no longer employed with.  They had disabled the control I feature so you could not see your session statistics. The excuse was - they didn't pay for headers or footers thus the line count not accurate.  Well, fine and well, I asked for a breakdown report by report of what my line count was for each of my reports.  I was told they didn't have this information, I was told by Dictaphone in this email that the administrator certainly does have this information, and that the way lines are counted varies and are totally set by the administrator (or your employer).  The Ichart team did tell me they are working on getting that available on the Ichart site so you can see report by report what your line count is. I think this is the only fair way.  Line counts should be verifiable for each report, not just a lump clump number.  Lets say you did 700 lines like I did one time.  Well, I did about 28 reports.  These were H&Ps and consults mostly with very minimal progress notes.   Do the math, the 700 lines just does not add up right with the # of reports.  So, bottom line, if going to work for an account that uses this system beware, ask questions.  There are a lot of companies out there using it and disabling the session statistics
List of companies using ExText? sm
Can anyone give me a list of companies that use ExText? Looking for part-time position and IC or employee; specialize in OPs, 10+ yrs experience.  Thanks in advance!
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. 


Attention OSI MT's about Extext companies

These companies use Extext and are hiring so you won't have much of a learning curve - Medware, Opti-Script (also called OSI), Amphion and TTS (Transcription Technology and Support).  Good luck, you can do much better than OSi (Outsourcing Solutions).  I found my ideal company. 


What companies use Dictaphone ExText? (sm)

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



TIA


I have worked for 6 companies using Extext
You can do a ctrl-s and do documents typed today and get a list of them.
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!
I LOVE the platform, the rest is what I do not like
I second that!!
Sten-Tel is the platform. Different companies use it, pay and how companies run are different. nm
:P
I don' remember this as an option using ExText with 2 different companies. nm

Wondering which companies use Dictaphone Extext
nm
Extext companies with plenty of work
I need to know what Extext companies have plenty of work right now and I can go work immediately and be able to download work.  I'm tired of having no work and no money. 
Any Extext companies with LOTS of work NOW?
.
Maybe they are like me, love the platform, but can't make money with it
xx
Love my platform...hate the company
I currently work for DSG and love DocQscribe.
Which platform are you referring to? They have several. I LOVE mine!!! nm

Love new job, people, platform etc. but BORED (sm)
The accounts I have are under 200 beds, hardly any ops and those are most Csections, EGD, colonoscopies.  Hardly even a chole or appy.  New enough I don't want to really complain to my supervisor.  Thinking about picking up PT job just to keep my skills up in OP department.  Used to working 500 to 800 bed hospitals with lots of exciting ops.  Should I shut up and be glad I like the comany? 
I love the platform and make good $ on it. SM

I do believe it has to do with the accounts though.  I've used it for 4 hospitals and have made great money, both VR and straight typing.  VR gives me more than double the lines of typing but I do think it is an acquired skill.  Learn the shortcuts and use them.  It is also only as good as the team training the VR. 


On the other hand I've used it on a clinic account and the lines were just not coming in like they do in AC.  A very heavy, 90%, ESL verbatim account and I lasted all of 2 weeks on that account. 


I'd say I do about 90% VR and 10% straight typing and all in all I'm impressed with the accuracy of the VR. 


anyone know of companies that use Dictaphone ExText that might be hiring IC status?

any info appreciated.


 


Yes, it comes with Stedman's built in. You'll love the platform, it's
the easiest I have worked with.
I am in training - 27 years experience. Love the platform! nm
