I have WP 10 and I like it. User friendly. sm

I've used MS Word too, but there really isn't that much difference and its easy to learn.


 


Very user friendly
Although I was a newbie at the time, after finishing a MT course, they first had me on Dictaphone and then trained us on Escription/Edit Script. It was much, much easier than Dictaphone and any MT with experience would find it very easy to use. There really is not that much training needed---just to learn the commands, which is included in the tutorial. It really is a great platform.
How user friendly is it really?

It is very user friendly...
...I think you'll like it.  Good luck!
Yep, VERY user friendly...
You'll be up and running into no time. :-)
I don't think it is very user friendly - sm
I used it for a day I think and then quit, hated it. Too many steps up to actually working and it was just a pain in the butt to use. There are many platforms that are much better than EMDAT.
very user friendly, productive ...
i was disappointed my lines didn't increase more dramatically over old system -- but there was an increase. I like it well enough i hope i never have to use another system. Maybe the 'decrease' in lines others report is due to messing around on the internet instead of working, as 2 minutes here and there really can add up...
software that is user friendly (sm)
I'm not sure of the difference between software and a platform, but I just want to work for a company whose program is easy to work on, not a lot of glitches, freezes, server problems, etc. etc.  That defeats the whole purpose of what we were hired to do - TRANSCRIBE.  Also when there is a problem, it would be nice to have someone be able to help you quickly.
Is ExSpeech user friendly?
Can you make good lines on Dictaphone ExSpeech voice recognition?
Only the newest version 10.

I have the newest version
 
Which platforms do you find to be the most user friendly . . . sm
and allow you to be more productive?  Your input is greatly appreciated!
Invoice program - user friendly
I currently use Abacus for line counting. I need a separate program for line counting and hourly work that is very user friendly. Any advice?
I love BeyondText. User friendly
are pulled in with a simple search.  I was making my minimum line counts by the end of the first week.
Maybe downloading the newest version will help.
?
Newest version 4.17 will play .dss.
 
Is their platform user friendly, or does it depend on the account?
nm
I have tried both. Smartype is user friendly, easy to learn. I'd use it again.

VR program. Very user-friendly and easy to learn.

Just downloaded the newest version, 4.17, and it works with .dss.

I'm glad that the NCH people fixed this. Three cheers for them!


One week of working on a new platform and I do not feel it is user-friendly
Editing itself is not bad. It is the documentation of the changes I made, I think for purposes of feedback to MT, which I have to do on Word (outside of the platform) that is driving me crazy and is eating up a lot of time. I do not think I am being productive. I am paid an hourly rate but I am almost embarrassed with my production. I think doing QA without going the through the MTing using the same platform presents a lot of difficulty. Is it too early to decide whether this is a good fit for me?
Is ExText user friendly? Can you make good lines?

I will be using a foot pedal - ? Transnet.


I'm using Meditech Magic now and I can't imagine anything being worse. 


It must be a dss file. the newest version will not work with dss files sm
even when you install their codec for it. try uninstalling and install ES from this link their tech guy gave me for version 4.15.

Has anyone used IntraScript or I-Scriptor as a platform? User-friendly, productive? Any comments?
xx
Is the em dat (?) program user friendly - can you make lines - complicated to learn?nm

I just went to the website and clicked on the link to download the newest version and it worked.
www.pcshorthand.com is the website.  You can download a free trial of the software, but eventually you will have to buy a license.  You can also pay a little extra and have them ship the actual software to you with an instruction manual. 
I absolutely love GearPlayer 4, the newest version. It plays all files
and combine that with a good stereo headset, you'll be all set to go.  I am able to hear so well all sorts of dictators.  I cannot, and will not, work with Express Scribe, and I have found no other player as superior as GearPlayer.  They have a free download you can trial it for 5 days and see if works in your platform/voice files, found at transcriptiongear.com

They're still at version 7 and version 8 is supposed to come out this Fall, which may be compatib

OK, thanks. No I don't have the newest...
no msg.
JD is the newest member
of INXS. I liked both Mary and JD and especially loved their original songs "Pretty Vegas" and "Trees". I especially loved Marty and plan to download all his tunes he performed on INXS.
Per the newest BOS and Stedman's . . .
latest editions, the apostrophe s is now dropped from all eponyms.  There will still be some (many or even most) facilities that prefer the 's.  However, the "official" guideline is to drop it.  I think it sounds terribly incorrect, but I suppose over time it will be more widely accepted.
i do believe the barbato memo is the newest
xx
The newest Stedman's is compatible.

Interesting - what is date on that? and does this newest memo from
I wonder?
This is why I uploaded the 4.15 version. It's a previous version

Yep, the newest "fix" for the last few years of PMS and perimenopausal symptoms is
Serafem, which is just Prozac. The drug company "reinvented" a use for Prozac when they needed a new use! So, its called Serafem. You're supposed to take it a few days before your period, or sometimes all month - just depends.  Pretty flowery packaging! I went thru the same thing at about 43 to 44 - only symptoms as well, and never had 1 day of PMS prior to that.  It just stopped as suddenly as it had started.  Just me - we're all different. I tried the Serafem and it didn't help at all - just made me feel like a zombie 30 days of the month!  Good luck to you! Just had my LMP 2 days ago - only lasts for about 1/2 day now! Yeah!! I, for one, will not be missing THAT each month. No way!! Also remember if you have female teens at home, those hormones are floating all over in the air! Its HORRIBLE!  I have 2 daughters and we all get it the same time now, etc.  Oh, yes, and my face breaks out now as it did when I was a teen when I had my period. Never had that my entire life til now.  Just today we were all cracking up - all 3 of us had 1 huge zit on our noses!!  Nowhere else, and all 3 had the same one on our nose!  We are really fair skinned and blonde, and look RIDICULOUS!!  Oh well!
Works is a dumbed down version of Word and Excel. You get the full version of Word in the Suite.
The Works Suite is a cheaper way of getting a full version of Word if you don't want or need the other applications in Office.
Is it kid friendly?
x
pet friendly
I for one can identify with you.  Leaving my simon at home would be like leaving a kid at home!  For the last eight years we have planned most of our vacations around our dog.   I have found some of the greatest ones were groups of cabins on the lake (I am in Texas, so we have gone to tennessee, arkansas, etc) but I'm sure there are some close to you.  They have group cookouts, hiking, casino nights, soft ball, lots of fun stuff.  You might check something like that. 
Friendly HHS contact
I was wondering if anyone had the name and number or E-mail address of a friendly person at the Department of Health and Human Services? I have a couple quick short questions concerning the HIPAA regulations.

Thanks.
Just be sure it is transcription friendly and
it has everything at your fingertips, i.e. doctor roster, automatic demographic fill-in, line cout accessible, one key to send and hopefully automatic download, good spell check, and me personally "could live without my ShortHand abbreviation expander. It works in all windows programs, so therefore I can use it on most all software programs.
My supervisor is very friendly and
personable, however, we have never met in person. We have "known" each other for years since we have both worked out of the same office a long time, he used to be an office employee, recently promoted.
If it's a retail version you can. If it's an OEM version, you can't.

hometalkcafe.com might have one. Friendly bunch there.

EMDAT InScribe -- not friendly
Terrible platform. 
The question you are asking is a very friendly way of calling on all CHERRYPICKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sm
doing work that other people either can't or won't do. You should learn just like the rest of us, how to do it all. Take it or leave it. Do them all or do none, so the rest of us won't get cheated out of "easy" reports too!

I know that at my co. you are asked what you can and cannot do. That's a joke! They move me around because I can do it all! Of course I get stuck doing crap because all the easy stuff is taken. Now, come on, is that fair? I don't think so!

so there! You heard a mouthful about one of my biggest pet peeves!
I've tried to be friendly and have a sense of humor,
so I just quit..and went about doing my job figuring they didn't have time to socialize. They seem all business... even my QA person, very cut and dry. I've tried joking with her with not much response. I wasn't sure what was expected of me in that respect.
Does anyone out there have any good pet friendly vacation ideas?? sm
Would  love to go away for a small vacation with the kids but they dont want to leave their furry friends behind...and neither do I.  I am looking for someplace that will take two dogs and is also kid friendly. I live in Ohio so I dont want something to far away. Dog friendly and kid friendly....too much to ask for????
