Does anyone know if IT offers a trial period? sm
From the comments on this post and the post I placed yesterday, I am convinced I would like to try IT. I hate to spend $189 though and not like it but I do not see on their web site where they offer a money back trial period. Also, do you know if you download it and have it immediately or if it comes in the mail? Thanks to all who have offered their opinions, it really helps!
Might try DocShuttle by Bytescribe...
This software will do what you what. I use it and it sures makes life easier for me!! See link.
DocShuttle/Bytescribe
Is anyone familiar with DocShuttle or Bytescribe?
DocShuttle/Bytescribe
Is the program user friendly? Reliable?
Switch offers free trial so can see if it is what

DocShuttle Dictator (Bytescribe) is what you are looking for. nm

I'm confused...have you installed Bytescribe/Docshuttle more than 3x?
If so, how did you manage this?
DocShuttle/Bytescribe user experience
Does anyone have experience using DocShuttle by Bytescribe? I am considering this for an application where an account has 5 doctors that want to dictate on digital portables & I have 5 transcriptionists working out of their home. How is it to setup & use? Does it work? Is the company available when there are problems? I would appreciate any insight on this company & software.
I just found out you can only install Bytescribe Docshuttle 3 times!
I had no idea of this and apparently this is in the fine print of the license agreement (shame on me for not reading it!) So I have DocShuttle Client at $99 and DocShuttle Admin at $299. I have to reformat my hard drive this weekend so I will be on my third and last install. I really do not want to have to purchase this all over again because that is a huge chunk of change.
Does anyone know of any other software that I might be able to use when the time comes? I want to start my research early because I can't get myself into a bind if you know what I mean.
Thanks!
does anyone know about a 3-limit install on DocShuttle, Wavplayer and other Bytescribe products? sm
they told me after three installs, even if I buy a new computer, I have to buy the program all over again, at $100 a pop. Has anyone else ever been told this? Sounds like a rip off to me.
How about downloading a trial version of Wavplayer from Bytescribe (or other wav player)....sm
and see if the .dvf files will work. That could help isolate some of the problem. Can you get them to play in Media Player?
if you purchase bytescribe/docshuttle, you can actually upload the completed work back on there. nm
;
The Orator dictation system offered by Bytescribe also works with DocShuttle. I use it as well as th
I thought the price was reasonable. You can export the files into DocShuttle so that the docs can still use the electronic signature feature. I have one facility that uses the system this way. One doc uses the olympus DS-2300 and the other two use my call-in system.
I am not sure but I think Bytescribe and Expresscribe are similar. I have Bytescribe with a 9-pin
serial port for my foot pedal. My foot pedal has worked fine with several different programs and proprietary software too, sometimes I have had to reselect/reset in in the proprietary programs, but it alwasy works fine. You can ask the Bytescribe people though, and tell them what kind of foot pedal you have and they will make sure you get the correct version so it will work. As for PlayAll it will not work if you have Bytescribe on your computer, at least this is what I have been told my 1 of my employers. I was given a copy of the PlayAll but I can't get it to work, it will open up and I just right down the info I need from it for my records and blank notes, just won't "play" supposedly because I have Bytescribe. I am not taking it off to see or not though. You need to find out what kind of wav files they are though because if the ExpressScribe will play them, then there is really no reason for you to buy Bytescribe too. --Good Luck. 
Yes, yes and yes!!! I had so many offers...
after I graduated that I was shocked! The standard 2-year experience requirement was waived by every company I contacted.
Yes, M-Tec is totally a self-paced, self-study program, but there is also incredible 1-on-1 instructor support. The program is very comprehensive and definitely not easy but well worth every penny!
If you want a career as an MT, you can't go wrong with M-TEC. 
CPL offers
are usually set in motion by what the MTSO is receiving in pay from the facility. As a small MTSO, I am very much restricted by what the facilities are willing to pay me as a vendor. It is an unfortunate circumstance, but it is a sign of the times. There are MTs willing to the work for 8 CPL, and if not, the Nationals outsource it overseas. I think that sums it up in a nutshell....It is a shame, but it is where the industry has gone of late. EMR, VR and outsourcing cutting into what a MTSO can get from the facilities for line rates. Sad but true....I hope you find what you're looking for. 
I am not a CMT and I get job offers all of the
much unless you like having initials after your name. It is not like you can put it on your reports. XXX/xxx, CMT - can you? So no one but the company you work for (who probably doesn't care) and you will know... nobody else. Most CMTs complain they aren't compensated enough anyway, so who gives a hoot? The only benefit I see is having initials after your name, which unless you are in this field, who knows what that means? Sounds important, but to have to pay hundreds to test and then to fail only to have to pay hundreds to take it again????? I'd think that one over and over and over and over... JMO. A penny more a line??? Just seek out your own account and you'll make lots of extra pennies per line... believe me!
Yes, I used DocShuttle and the
Bytescribe WavPlayer together and had no problems.
DocShuttle
Need help with DocShuttle. It keeps freezing up on me. Any help would be greatly apprecaited. Thanks.
DocShuttle
Does anyone know if Express Scribe can be used to play DocShuttle client? Thanks!
Has anyone used DocShuttle or
eShuttle? How about Gear Player/Dictate? Was it easy to set up/use? Were there any problems? I had been planning to use Express Dictate until I saw the post from yesterday where someone had problems with it. I am also curious about WebChartMD and Voice Scribe/Doc, but their sites do not show prices. If anyone has used either of these I would be interested in hearing about them as well.
TIA! Any information would be very much appreciated.
DocShuttle
I have used this in the past. Had my doctor purchase and change over from tapes since he worked out of town and had satellite offices. I had absolutely no problems with it. Purchased an FTP site, loaded software and jumped right on it. Very easy to load, or technically just download from site, as long as you have a license.
We purchased the Dictator, Client and Administrator as well as the Olympus digital recorders. That was probably the hardest to do was get the doctor trained on the recorders. But, as far as the transcription program it worked great for me. This was about 8 years ago and the prices are still the same.
You might try DocShuttle...
They offer a complete "end-to-end" solution. It is pretty reasonably priced. Really good things have been said on these boards about it. You can find it at Bytescribe.com. Hope this helps!
Docshuttle
I am looking for any input, good or bad, help or suggestions about Docshuttle. I have recently purchased this program, after the trial period went fairly well with just a few bumps in the road. The bumps all happened at the physicians' office. On my side, the administrator and the Transcriptionist programs seem to work great. Starting Friday, and now today, though, the upload and download counts don't seem to match on the MD's side. They like to keep track of all their uploads numbers and make sure they match the downloads...though not sure how that works when I am sending things back in different bunches. Anyway, this morning they downloaded all the new completed reports but when they went to print new reports there was one less to print than the download indicated. When we compared notes, they were missing one in their document/done directories that should have been there. Same thing happened Friday, but then it was 3 reports. I found them easy enough, but if they hadn't been keeping track, wouldn't have even known they were missing. Does anyone else have this problem? Any solutions? I have call into support, but curious as to how others have made this program work for them...Thanks for any help.
DocShuttle
I have had this happen occasionally. I have been using DocShuttle now for 4 years. I only have this problem with one office. It occurs when the recorders are docked in the afternoon around 5 o'clock. This office has a wireless setup and sometimes the connection is dropped, specially if it is a large upload (30+ files). My IT person says it has to do with the signal strength on their end and they need to secure it. We compensate by having them upload in batches to make sure that all of the files come through. So far, this has been working. I am pretty sure (in my case) it is not a DocShuttle problem because none of my other offices have this problem.
Also, you may want to check the intervals that you are having them conect to the FTP site. If they are connecting too frequently (every 10 minutes) they may be connecting when the administrator is updating or your server is refreshing/timing out. I seem to remember being cautioned about this by Bytescribe early on. This occasionally happends to me also, (same office). This office likes to get out at 5 o'clock and often rushes to get out.
I have never had the numbering problem. You may want to check the versions to make sure everyone is using the same version of DocShuttle. Whenever I set up a new office, I always have all of my transcriptionists and offices update their versions so we are all using the same version.
When you get through to support at Bytescribe, ask for Scott. He is excellent!
Hope this helps. 
Docshuttle?
Can anyone please explain what this is? Is it just another platform like Emdat or Escription? Do companies usually provide it or is it something an individual MT has to purchase themselves?
THANKS!
I don't like Docshuttle, but I did not have to pay

DocShuttle
DocShuttle is an FTP file transfer program, which is pretty easy to use. There are "glitches" with the software on occasion, but the company has made some positive changes over the years. One nice thing about the software is that you get all of the updates for free.
It is only because no one offers that anymore

I don't think anyone offers PT MTs benefits - sm
at least I have NEVER heard of any. I don't think I have ever even heard of any PT job that had benefits. All you can do is start making phone calls to said companies and ask them. Good luck.
Just because someone offers their opinion,...
and it differs from another's, does not make it negative. You didn't hear what you wanted to hear in my responses, but that does not mean I am being negative toward you. I just think you need to do your own work. Asking for help is one thing, and asking for a handout is entirely different.
You may not need all that MPWord offers.
I've looked at MP Word several times myself and it just more than I need, although in a different setting/situation, I may need all the options. If you have a choice and you have MS Word available to you, you will be fine. You should have an encryption method available to you; WinZip offers encryption with it's Pro version, about $50.
Just something else for you to consider.
Thank you! I may do a trial...
well. I was just wondering if I had to retype as I do have some other accounts that I would eventually put on there. I was also wondering about the invoice feature as one accont I get paid for blank lines.... Anyway not to ramble... Thanks again!
Maybe you could ask for a trial
Maybe you could ask for a trial period, tell the potential employer the problem, that DSL is not available to you. I may be wrong, but I think you can get satellite internet most anywhere, if there's no other alternative. Also, if you are able to get cable, check into cable modem, which most any cable company is doing now. Sorry for your situation! I hope you find work soon!
trial - would if I could!
Unfortunately, I've already called the cable company and that's not available here yet either. Satellite is, but most of these companies say that it MUST be DSL or cable and that satellite will not work.
I would certainly offer a trial, but I can't even get anyone to talk to me! They find out I don't have cable/DSL, that's the end of the conversation.
It's just nuts...
NOT trial
The softwares are not good for 90 days or something. They are good without any trial period.
DocShuttle System
How user friendly in the DocShuttle System? Any info. would be appreciated. How would you compare DocShuttle to DocQScribe or Webcorrect??
DocShuttle is just for connecting to FTP
It's a program for connecting to an FTP server to download voice files. It's not a program that you transcribe in or anything.
DocShuttle does way more than just connect...sm
although you need to purchase all the components. DocShuttle Administrator will let you set up separate accounts for your dictators, and set privileges for which MT's work on which accounts and do they have QA privileges. Also allows you to upload templates to the FTP site for use by all transcribers. So you have to buy Administrator for sure. DocShuttle Client is for anyone who transcribes (including yourself), it lets you download files from the ftp site. When you click on the voice file, it brings up templates that you choose from. DocShuttle Dictator is for the docs. What I like about Dictator is you can set it to work with the Olympus recorder so that when the doc docks the recorder, it automatically imports to the Olympus program, and erases the file from the recorder. Then DocShuttle Dictator can be set up to automatically, say every 4 hours, import from the Olympus program and upload new files to the ftp site and download finished files. I have found that the front desk girls can sink your account by not being able to figure out how to upload or download files. I just did an install with DocShuttle and you should have seen the doc's eyes light up when he docked his recorder and it all went automatically. Also the files stay in the local box and get uploaded to the ftp site so there's always a copy at the doc's office for back up. It also marks the files with a coded number that includes the date, dictator, etc. And at the end of the month, you can run reports that will give you MSWord data such as characters or lines to you can do a line count without opening every single file. Files can be encrypted if you want.
This program is ideal if you have more than one MT working with you. If you are working alone, they just came out with an email program that would work for just an independent contractor working at home for a doc.
Scott and his crew have worked hard on making DS very user friendly, which as I said, is a must because of the front office ladies. Their support is excellent. Just get past the first lady because she usually doesn't know what she is talking about.
one more word - MAKE SURE you purchase the Dongle. You get unlimited installs with the dongle - otherwise three installs and they want you to buy another license. email me with any more questions - I've been using DS for a few years now and am very happy with it
You sure are a cheerleader for Docshuttle. Are you a rep?
I don't care really, just curious. I think Docshuttle is OK, but it is limited. TASPs are pretty much next generation, getting away from the whole FTP thing. Just my opinion
I use DocShuttle but not the call in
and I definitely would not pay for a call in TASP when the Internet does basically the same thing for free. You can either use DocShuttle Dictator to get his hand held recorded dictation up to your FTP site, or... if the front desk is savvy enough, use something like FTPsurfer which is a free FTP transfer program...you can email me if you have any more specific questions. I use both.
DocShuttle. Does it really cost $269 to get it?
Or am I looking at the wrong thing? I'd love to apply for a position that needs this but cannot afford that big a bite in my finances. Any help is appreciated!
DocShuttle Client
 Does use DocShuttle Client? Can I use Express Scribe or do I have to use the Wav player by Bytescribe? I really like Express Scribe. Does not matter either way, just wondering . . . . Thanks!
DocShuttle Client
 Thanks! Good to know!
DocShuttle question.....sm
Do you use the template feature of DS Client? If not, how do you send your reports back? I hate that DS automatically adds the voice file name to the document name. Thanks.
DocShuttle question.
OK, when a company says you have to have Docshuttle, what exactly is this? Does this mean you have to buy the $200 or so bytescribe software? Is it worth it? Isn't that like paying to work for someone? Sorry, I'm new to this and find this confusing. I can understand needing a specific pedal or such, but why certain software to play files?
Thank you for any advice/insight.
DocShuttle Software
I am a small service that uses DocShuttle. If you are a MT who comes to work for me you have the option of purchasing the software which is $99 without the dongle after you use the 14-day free trial version. This means you can see if you like the work and if it will fit your needs. There are other options that are made available to you when helping with using the DocShuttle software. The more experience you have on different platforms and the more software programs you are familiar with the more jobs you can command.....just a thought. I trust this helps you in some small way and that it does not come across as "snippy." It is not intended to be interpreted as such!
DocShuttle has it's problems too
There is no software that is going to be perfect....I don't suppose. Should you want more info, please email. CLAMT
DocShuttle Program
Does anyone know anything about a program called Doc Shuttle? If so, good or bad? Does it have a generous line count? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
DocShuttle and EMRs
I'm just trying to find out if anyone has used DocShuttle Word files to merge with clients EMRs? If so, how does this work? Who pays for the interface? Who sets it up? Thank you!
DocShuttle ease of use
I am looking for part time work and wonder what good and/or bad anybody has experienced with the DocShuttle Transcriptionist/Client software. I have an IN-BMG foot pedal. I don't want to put out money for software and not have it work with my pedal. Can I keep my macros and expanders, do I need a special adapter? My present pedal is in the 15-pin joystick port on my computer.
Any and all comments good or bad deeply appreciated.
