Dictaphone EX Text users. I have a question I need help with on Technical Board.. Thanks

Dragon
I have used it for about 7 years.
VR - Dragon - sm
Could someone who uses this software please answer a couple of questions on the VR board? TIA.
is that like, Puff The Magic Dragon ?

Which companies use Dragon Webtop?

I have actually used Dragon 9,0 before, and with good training,..
it was not bad. The discussion, though, is about what MTs get from clinics and hospitals not from training your own VR software.
When I was trained, I was told the system learned from what was typed in, and I really did think it should work as well as the Dragon software. The fact is, it simply does not.
From what I have seen, there are a lot of reasons for this, but mostly it is that each MT's style varies so the software cannot really learn 1 single way of doing something. Along with the complexities of whether a word is a heading or part of a sentence, when giving a number is not starting a list but the size of a suture, and the general ability to comprehend the ESLs on the system, you do very often end up with an illogical mess.
There also seems to be something about how the report is processed by the VR system. I can get the same doc (one that does routine colonoscopies), and one report can be mostly formatted and need minor corrections, and the next identical report can be 1 long paragraph needing quite a few corrections.
The last thing I noticed is that the VR system really does not learn. After a full year of doing VR, it still cannot get the names of the hospitals correct. These are only ever spelled one way, so there is no reason that it keeps happening over and over if the system is able to learn and improve.
This was definitely not my experience with the Dragon software, but it is the mess I trudge through every day. I definitely wonder how my platform can originate from the same company and the 2 products be so different.
Anyone worked on Nuance Dragon MT ASP software
Is it transcription friendly and productive.
Thanks
Has anybody out there used Dragon speech recognition software to do this job?
What are the pros and cons...does it really work? Please post what you know about it! TIA
Doesn't Nuance own Dragon Natrually Speaking?
p
The Dragon 10 product by Nuance is 1000 times better than VR on
escription and dictaphone. It is absolutely amazing. My brother uses it in his office and rarely has to change anything.
vianeta users
Anyone out there know of MTSO's using Vianeta and need out?
for new baysribe users,
if your volume isn't high enough, click on the speaker in the icon tray and up the volume from there. remember, if you have problems, contact liaison or tech-ie, as they can help! too bad original poster left MDI for that reason...
Thank you all !! (MedRite users)
I copy/pasted your replies. Dang. I have made up many quick referral lists, such as a list for various medications catagory like GI, cardiac, cholesterol, etc so I can find quickly all made in MS WORD. Will have to thunk on this.
thanks again for responsing.
MedRite XL users - please tell about this platform!?? sm
I haven't worked on the MedRite XL for Windows platform. I did work on the DOS platform years ago. To be honest, I forget how it was. After a while, all of these platforms run together.
Could you tell ME if it is user friendly, productive, can you look up patient reports, search for certain dictator's reports, etc. Any info is greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much for your input.

eScription users, what other software do you really like?
eScription accounts slower so I'm looking for may some other type of software to use. If you love eScription, what other software do you really like? I'd prefer something Word-based. Thanks for any ideas!
Emdat users--have a question, please sm
I am trying to test for a company and followed their instructions to download and install Emdat, which went fine. After installing it, however, Emdat has been stuck on Please Wait, Checking for Upgrades for over an hour now. I have tried it twice, with the same result.
Is this normal? I don't want to email the employer that there is a problem unless I have covered the bases.
Thanks!
Question for MedRite users
If this accurate, if you have Med-Rite open (MS-WORD based) and you minimize Med-Rite and go into a MS Word document in your PC, that you have lists save on, you cannot do this as MedRite freezes???
They had an ad here in Jan. for ExText users at 7.5-8cpl. Applied twice and never

Current Vonage/Dictaphone users question (sm)
I have been using Vonage with a Dictaphone for 2 years now - with no problem at all.
Recently, in the last few days, the phone line goes dead several times in the day - and occasionally the foot pedal stops working.
I called Vonage, and they reset everything and said I should not be having a problem. I found out other MT with Vonage who work for us are having the same problem.
Is anyone else having this problem? We are trying to decide if it is a Vonage problem or not.
Thanks for your input.
This company sounds great, but they don't accept satellite users. :(
Other than that, from what I can see, they provide equipment/software, etc. Sounds like a really great company. I would apply if they could look over the satellite situation. I have had no problems with three other companies using satellte.
MedQuisters, topics from the Company board are being moved to the MedQuist board. MQ posts on
the first page of the Company board will be removed to open up space for other companies to post. Enjoy the new Medquist board set up for you.
Thank you,
Administrator
Are you the same condescending person the word board? I thought this was called "Company Board.&#

Didn't you post this on 03/04/06 on both the Company Board and the Hospital/Clinic MT Board?
.
This was moved from main board to company board. Replies don't transfer. nm

I can't give you the name of the message board, but it is not a free message board (HINT). There
Monitor, I hope this post is okay.
You already have your own board. Now you want a board for the ones who leave??

Never Not on this board.

I've been donig this for 10 years and can't remember running out this time of the year. Is anyone else slow. 
Sorry, this should have been on the MQ board. nm

probably more for another board, but...
In response to the posts about Christmas, I remember the good old days when the Jewish radiologist I worked for took the whole staff out for a big Christmas dinner and gave us all generous bonuses. We in turn gave him and his wife Hanukkah gifts. It's called mutual respect and being big enough to accept and respect each others' differences without taking away anyone's right to celebrate according to their own beliefs.
Where is the MQ board? (SM)
See the links to specialty boards to the left. Medquist is the 4th link from the top.

TT's ads all over job board!!!

Look on the job board
someone on this board once said that they (sm)
give you a line raise after you are taken off 100% QA. I was never told that and did not get it.
Board changes (SM)
We have condensed the number of board forums to reduce the confusion on where to post what topics.
You can view archives of any of the removed forums by clicking on the Home button at the bottom left and then scrolling to the end of the web page.
If your topic does not have a specific board currently, the Main board will accommodate it.
Thank you.

there was a job on the other board sm
that was paying 7 cpl for MT and part time supervisor. I don't think so.
I was just on the La. board looking for La. MTs.
I never see any postings from MTs of Louisiana and when I asked a question concerning LA MTs I would never get an answer. What part of Louisiana are you located. Do you work as an IC or employee or for a hospital? I have been trying to get an estimate on what Louisiana MTs are paid as I think the amount that I was told by the hospital was too low.
If it is the one from the Job board
Then that is Terry and they are out of St. Louis MO. I currently work for them. Good company to work for. Terry is very enthusiastic about MT. I enjoy the accounts, very low ESL if that is a selling point for you. We also have always had plenty of work and if ever I've run out I just let Terry know and she hooks me up with another account to fill my time.
HTH.
MQ has their own board because they are the
BIGGEST MTSO. Spheris will not allow employees to post anywhere anytime anything about them. Spheris joined up with Indian forces long, long ago in a HUGE volume. I have even read articles from Indian papers and Spheris, with Spheris wanting to reduce its US workload by half at least in order to use Indian labor. I have heard Spheris pay per line is very low. Not putting MQ up on a pedestal. I have worked for both, and Spheris is evil #1, though they keep a very low secretive profile.
I just saw on the job board
@ mtjobs.com QDPRN allows the choice of Word or Wordperfect also. So there seems to be companies out there still using Word.
Could you please tell me how to look at this board?
//
there were some on this board
when FN changed your pay from per report to per line (I think that is what they did). Those posts would be further down, around the date you were switched. If you do a search, you should be able to bring them up and then you can email the posters if you want.
Is this the info you are looking for?
Isn't that what this board is for?
I do agree with the above post - the Pro-KS people just haven't had a bad experience yet - but that doesn't mean it won't happen, they just won't be prepared when it does. Those of us who had bad or miserable experiences with KS should not be ridiculed for speaking our opinion or telling our stories. KS has had a clear-free ride on this board for a long time and it was about time for someone to start the rant on them that has happened today. They could not hide behind a gleeming reputation forever and get away with it. I am so happy that I beat them to the punch, as I described in a previous post - and now I enjoy working for another company that has been bashed on this board off and on for a long time, but I have no complaints. I have plenty of work and good lead people. Not everything is perfect, but what job is perfect. And, as with KS, I always try to stay a step ahead - and watch for signs that things are going awry. It pays off in the long run.
