Playback Software at Nicholas

Gotcha!  Getting my terms straight here   So, I did my research and the software used to 'play' the voice is Professional Digital Transcription Playback Software )DTPS).


The few I've worked with always have that annoying feature where you can't modify the voice speed.  Are they all like that?


I'm just wondering what the PDTPS is like at Nicholas.  BTW - I made up that abbreviation - may not be accurate!


Thanks for letting me pick your brain!!!


 


 


It also distorts the playback somewhat, but it's still useful for slowing down the speed demons.

Transnet
Transnet is a program, usually provided by the company/hospital as they usually pay Dictaphone for the cost of the licence.  You would need a wav pedal to play files through your computer.
transnet (sm)
click on icon for transnet at bottom of screen.  When the little box pops up, do you see a more to click?  You should.  Click on more and then there is a way to make it louder, softer, more backup, less backup, and I think it is called play rate.  Do you see this?
I have used Transnet before...sm
You do need a special footpedal in order for it to work.
Transnet
Right right, slow for transcription too. I got paid 13 cpl using Transet and realized why the pay was so high, because the software is sooooo slow and I got nothing done. I make more money now on a different account with less pl rate. Good Luck. I lated almost two years.

Can you use an IN-DB9 with TransNet?
Anyone know?
TRANSNET, NINA
What is your situation?  I work with Nina when she needs my help.
Transnet/Extext
What companies use Dictaphone software?
I'm going to be using MedTran and Transnet
Any info on either system would be appreciated.  TIA!
Transnet/Exttext
Does anyone use this software on a laptop; if so, have you experienced any problems with it?  Thanks! 
EXText and Transnet
Has anyone worked on a system utilizing a VPN client and Word Client before?  The voice player is called Transnet, but Word Client appears to be EXText.  This seems to be quite a complicated process to learn.  Anyone else have problems with this in the past?
Dictaphone TransNet

Dictaphone TransNet is voice file player software that installs on your computer. 


You need a foot pedal and a boomerang attachment between the foot pedal and your computer to control playback.  It attaches to a USB connection on your computer.


To use it, you establish a secure connection with the Dictaphone server, jobs are downloaded to your TransNet program, and you transcribe the files.  When done, you sign the jobs off and they show in the server as completed, and other files will automatically download as they are available.


Any other specific questions, let us know.  :)  Good luck!


extext word/transnet
OSi and Trans-Tech use that platform.
Dictaphone Transnet question - sm

Brief overview of Dictaphone Transnet?  What equipment/software would you need to buy?  Thank you!    


Transnet is just the Dictaphone system SM
you use to download voice files from a file server on the Internet - you can adjust speed, volume, backstop, etc. The client/MTSO assigns dictators to you, just simply sign on, download, and type away.
Little box for transnet player question. (sm)

Is there a way to move this box up to the top of the screen and out of the way of the document so you can leave it open while typing report?   Hate to call Tech support if it is really something simple.  I tried to just move it, but can't seem to get it done.


Any help appreciated.


Transnet Player Not Working
I have a USB pedal, which normally works with just about everything, but cannot get it to work with the Transnet player.  When I manually click on the play arrow on the player itself, it plays, but not with the pedal.  What could be wrong?
Need some information on Transnet system please (sm)
There is something in the archives from December 2008 basically telling how the pedal works.  What I want to know is, since the jobs are downloaded does it take longer to get the reports?  Has the speed of downloading the jobs improved since 2006?  From what I read in the archives it takes forever to d/l jobs but that was a couple years ago so if anyone is using Transnet, please let me know if it has improved any and what your general opinion of it is. TIA. 
ExText Transnet Player
First of all when the player comes up click Alt+T to keep player on top. Next click Alt+M to remember position.

1. Alt+V = Volume. Move left/right arrow keys to increase or decrease.
2. Alt+P = Play. Move left/right keys as above to increase or decrease.
3. Alt+A = Auto backspace. Same principles as above.
4. Alt+R = Rewind.
5. Alt+F = Forward.

Hope this helps.
Is anyone working with Nina of Transnet out of Florida?

Just wondering on your situation...to compare to mine.


Thanks.


So are Dictaphone ExText and Transnet the same thing or somehow used together?

Dictaphone Transnet extremely slow.
I've been doing QA work using this Dictaphone Transnet system, and it has got to be the slowest software I've ever worked on.  I'm sure it's probably OK for typing since it downloads 2 jobs at a time, but for QA, it's really slow.  I spend more time waiting for the job to open than anything. 
depends on acct. Some Lanier, some dictaphone, i.e. Transnet nm

I believe Transnet is how ExText is connected. Easy to use. Most demographics are

Post from Sept. says Need to buy your own TransNet pedal & you're NOT connected to the net

I was told needed special foot pedal for Transnet,

for MQ STAT employees tier rate applies to ME rate as well and how calcluated?
for a STAT MQ employee:  Does anyone know if the tier rate is going to be applied to the ME rate as well or are they going to go with the 80% of the MT rate for each tier level?  If the tier rate doesn't apply as well to the ME rate then going by the 80% of the MT rate is less than if the tier rate would be applied.  I'm sure that MQ is going to go by whatever keeps money in their pockets.  Guess this is a question for the supervisor tomorrow.
Their line rate was less than my current nat'l rate, even with mucho experience. nm

VR rate is 1/2 rate of traditional typing,I believe it is 4 cents line.

I took that to mean you can get to that rate after 1600 lines and that is not the starting rate.
:
Webmedx ASR rate is 70% of your regular line rate. sm
So if you are on a 9 cpl account, you get 6.3 CPL plus any bonus / incentives / shift differential.
From the current editing rate not typing rate
.
is the VR line rate 60% of the regular typing line rate?
s
Is the ASR line rate 1/2 of transcription line rate? sm
Reason I ask is that I assume if they have ASR now that eventually all will be ASR except of course for the awful dictators as this seems to be the norm.
Pay rate
Thanks!!
Pay rate?
How many years of experience as an MT do you have? Our old contract was based on that - wondering if it is still going to be that way.

TIA
rate

Are there any companies who are offering 10 cpl or more for new hires on employee status these days? If so, I have yet to hear about them. From everything I have seen, with experience, 7-8 cpl seems to be the norm with shift differential and production incentives on top of that, plus, of course, any benefits offered.


I have also been very happy at MedWare. I do ER work for them along with some acute care. I have no plans to change jobs anytime in the near future.


Don't be put off by what you see. If you're at all interested, contact the recruiter. He/she can give a much better picture of what is available. Most of the time, on message boards you tend to get a higher percentage of negative comments regarding companies because the people who are happy don't typically take the time to come and write praises, while the people who are not happy are quick to vent. JMO, of course.


Top QA rate!

What would be considered the top rate being offered in the industry for QA? Does anyone know of companies paying good QA rates that they can recommed?


Thank You


Seems to be the going rate these day, but isn't
a good rate. 
My rate was over $300 nm
.
Why is the rate so low? sm

If I have to read the entire report to verify it is correct, it takes me just as much time as if I typed the report.  My TIME is what I am compensated for.  Why don't editors make the same line rate as transcriptionists?


RE; pay rate
i'm not sure what the norm is but they claim to start out at 8.5 cpl; they claim there are 8 levels, they said they put me at level 7 - hope that helps
V/R rate
what do you make now?

You will get that rate
a Deventure
What is the going rate for...

radiology per report these days?  Been getting paid by line and now have opportunity to switch to per report so just trying to weigh the options.


 



rate of pay
I'm going from a national back to the hospital I left some years ago, for many reasons, one of which is they grant benefits to parttimers and I haven't had a vacation in 3 years. However, their pay rates have changed, it's paid per character (but not space), instead of by line. I wish I'd written it down. Changes in how to determine MT pay are never a good thing, so I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with different methods of figuring pay. In the past,this hospital paid their MT's very generously, so I hope it can't be anything too drastic.
That is a much better rate..(sm)
I left Medquist in July and didn't have insurance coverage until I was eligible at KS in December. So I just took it and figured I would shop around for a cheaper plan at least while I was covered. I'm so glad they're getting insurance that is less expensive. Thanks! 
QA rate
There are still plenty of companies out there that pay an hourly rate but youre right, if you do it by line you would have to go pretty darn fast to make what you normally make and quality would suffer. I think companies that are doing this as a consequence of people not doing what they are supposed to be doing in the first place. I have seen a lot of abuse of this position.
ASR pay rate

What companies are currently transitioning to ASR and, if so, what line rate are they paying for this? 


rate
Is it better to charge a client by line, by page, by word, or by character and if so what do you charge?
