has an ad for MTs that says nothing about editing positions. I am confused for sure. I transcribe. Don't want to do editing for a company. Don't want to apply for a job when I do not know what I applying for. TIA!

Editscript-Escription - Jay, sm
Jay, do I still use a foot pedal with this software? What is the difference between editscript and escription? Sorry for the questions, but I have never used this platform before...Thanks!

eScription/EditScript
eScription is the name of the company. They make a dictation system which takes the doctors' dictation files and runs them through a voice recognition engine once they reach a certain level of accuracy. At any given time, there will be some dictations that have to be transcribed from scratch and others that need to be edited.
EditScript is the name of the TRANSCRIPTION component of the eScription system, the part that you as an MT would use. It does use a foot pedal, yes. It integrates with your MS Word program so you can still use your AutoCorrects, macros and expanders.

EditScript & eScription
eScription is the company with EditScript. They do not take over departments. The hospital will contract with them to use their software and servers, etc. EditScript is voice recognition software. They do not take over departments.
However, there are some transcription companies who are certified ES users and will try to bid for the department or hospital's work.
Please know that not every hospital or department who uses the EditScript platform outsources their transcription work to companies or anyone else for that matter. Recently, many have been keeping their transcription in-house and training their MTs on the new software.
I hope this answers your questions.
EMR is an electronic medical record. Most companies are trying to sell their software to the healthcare industry as EMR. Paperless records so you could be visitng in Alaska, have an accidnet, and the doc could pull your chart up from the hospital in your home town, like New Jersey, etc. instantly.
Hope this information helps.
eScription/EditScript
My favorite platform.
eScription EditScript
Does anyone know what the standarized definition of a line is when using the eScription platform (EditScript)? I understand bolding and underlining are not permitted, so that has been eliminated from the line count. How about two spaces after a sentence? Has that been eliminated from the line count also? How difficult is it to confirm your line count that the software is gathering for you? If you partially edit and partially transcribe a report, does it separate the two functions and provide individual counts? Thanks!
Another eScription EditScript
If you had to transcribe a report on the eScription platform instead of edit, would you be able to use the AutoCorrect feature in your Word program, or another Expander program, or are you using the Word on the eScription server and would an expander program be available?
editscript/escription
Anybody ever having trouble downloading EditScript on initial setup? I get so far and the templates will load but the next part that lists the providers won't and I get kicked off my provider (VZ wireless air card). I have been told that they do use this for the laptops, so that shouldn't be an issue. Just didn't know if anyone had any possible suggestions. TIA!
Editscript/Escription ???
I have used Escription when I worked for TransTech. Now I have been offered a position with a company that uses Dictaphone VR. I thought Escription was a Dictaphone product. Does Dictaphone have more than 1 platform for VR?
Editscript/Escription users
Am I the only person who has a squatty hourly average line count with this system? I would love to hear from those who don't mind sharing how many lines you average an hour.
For those of you who are thinking about posting a response that says 'I don't give out this info'...save it please.
My question is for people who ARE willing to share this info.
Thanks.
Editscript/Escription users
I'm worse off than you. What does Editscript/Escription stand for?
Can Smarttype be used with Editscript/eScription?
Is EditScript and Escription the same platform? sm
I am only familiar with Dictaphone EXText, EXSpeech, and now EXEditor, but have heard that escription is even better than these platforms. I want to get my fact straight (the difference, if any, between EditScript and Escription) before applying for companies using those platforms. TIA!
Absolutely - love it. Use eScription's EditScript.
Great pay, awesome platform, and wonderful account.
Like everything else in life, you take the good with the bad. Get bored sometimes, but I make a great line rate and work for a great hospital. I will take the boredom - really can't complain.
From what I have heard, you either love VR or hate it. Personally, I love it, but I think it really does depend on the VR platform. eScription is the best VR platform out there in my humble opinion. I have worked on several and some were just downright terrible.
Are all Escription accounts EditScript? I could not use this platform. sm
I see so many people that use Escription and like it. Are there other Escription platforms, or are they all EditScript?
eScription only makes EditScript/EMON
Why couldn't you use EditScript?
eScription is actually the company that makes EditScript.
:-) Welcome to the boards too.
eScription - EditScript - question missed from below.
If you insert a list of recipients into the report from the hospital directory base, does the MT receive any credit for this in the line count?
Also, are any of the demographics included in the MT's line count?
Thanks for your reply.
EditScript/Escription - Fell in love with it the first time I used it
x
Well our account is strictly BOS so
It is very hard to find (and expect!!) MTs to know everything in there so it is something we just have to do. And I work for another company, not this one mentioned.
I have not strictly transcribed in about 10 yrs.sm
I work full-time doing medical transcription but I also have other duties that do not involve transcribing so I don't keep up with lines or anything like that; I get paid by the hour. I have worked 3-4 hours in the evenings for one of the national companies for a little over a month but I can't seem to get my line count up. I've only been able to do around 100 lph. I know it will take longer than it would if I worked 8 hours just transcribing. I would like to quit the other job and just work from home transcribing but I'm afraid if I can't get my line count up I won't be able to maintain my current income. I'm not a blazing fast typist, I probably type 75-80 wpm without any kind of expanders. Any helpful advice or encouragement on whether you guys think at my typing speed it is within reason to think I can make it to 150-200 lph? I've done straight transcription in the past but I never had to keep up with lines. I have 30+ years of experience. I just need to decide whether to keep things the way they are now or take the chance on income by production only. BYW, I transcribe acute care for the national.
Had mine taken down strictly for the look
No problems with hurting, strap grooves, weight, etc. I just do not care for the matronly look of big oversized boobs.
Any Rad MTs working strictly via internet...(sm)
no C-phone, extra phone line, etc., preferrably working with Extext and VPN?? Looking for extra work..would appreciate any feedback regarding the company/individual you work for with this setup. Thanks
I think it's strictly a money thing. An
experienced QA makes more than promoting an MT and offering her peanuts. Some companies would rather save a buck than make quality a priority. Perhaps it's better to stay away from those companies anyway.
SO true! My company says they adhere strictly -
to the BOS, but then there are pages and pages of EXCEPTIONS to the rules for different accounts, and even different individual doctors. The docs are the ones who want their notes transcribed, so it just makes sense to do it the way THEY want it.
It depends. Will you be charging strictly per report or per exam? sm
Some of us make that now with our nationals so I would charge a little more.
I've been doing it at home strictly full time for a couple of monts, but
I have 6 years of inhouse exp where my duties was divied up with other admin work and 1 1/2 years on and off exp doing it as an IC at home....so again, I'm no rookie....which is what is frustrating. My oldest is on sprnig break, so if I haven't been fired by next week, hopefully I will get better by then.
Depends. Is it strictly transcribing? Is all patient info provided so you don't waste time? Any d
EditScript help
I am about to start working for a company that uses EditScript. I need to know if a USB foot pedal will work with it. When I looked at the foot pedal they said I have to have, I have the same exact one except it is USB. Does anybody know if this will work? I really don't have the money to spend on a new foot pedal, and I use a laptop for work that doesn't even have a 9-pin serial port.
Thank you in advance!
Editscript
Is anyone using this program. I just started it and it seems to be good - the first voice recognition that I have used to date - just wondered what others thought since this seems to be the way of the future in MT.
editscript
I think it is slow but that is only my opinion.
When you are in editscript...
Click on the eyeball on the toolbar and select the pedal tab. You can adjust the bounceback time from there.
EditScript...does KS use this? sm
It seems to me that is where I have seen it used, by KS. If so, then...ST works with it more or less. Not as well as it works with ExText or MedRiteXL, but it will run.
If you are not working for KS, then I don't happen to know one way or the other. Works a treat in ExText.
Editscript
Has anyone had trouble downloading Editscript because of MS Works being on their PC? I'm getting an error msg and I don't know how to get around this...Thanks
EditScript
 Does anyone know if you can use a game-port pedal on EditScript or if you have to have a serial pedal?
EditScript
Does anyone use dialup? I am in a rural area and cannot get dialup at present. I have been trying to download EditScript and I am having mega problems. Anyone else in the same boat?
editscript
Editscript is I guess you would call it like a platform. Voice recognition editing is when the report comes up and you go through and listen to the doctor to catch any mistakes that are in there.
Editscript V8
With the account that I work on, they did something to the program to make it so that we could not copy and paste within a document. Maybe this happened to your account. The only copy and pasting that can be done, I have found, is after the job has been uploaded. Then, I can search by dictation ID in the database. Once in view function, I am able to copy and paste using the same Ctrl functions as in Word.
I don't use Editscript myself...sm
I can totally see where you wouldn't be able to afford to upgrade though. I have Windows XP but I need to upgrade to a newer Word. I am using 2002 Word. I am starting to have issues with Spantel using this version. I can do the work but I am having little issues. I can't afford to buy an upgrade though. I don't know, maybe I can get a used copy of Microsoft Office. It doesn't have to be 07 just a newer version than I have. I will have to check on it. You are not alone in not being able to afford upgrades though.
EditScript
The line count SUCKS big time on this.....When I worked on it, did a compare in regular word, I got WAY MORE than what Editscript gave me. It is not Editscript, the company can configure it to NOT count headers, demo info, etc. The company is the one doing it!!! Any way to cheat us MTs out of anything, that is what they do...When I see ads for jobs stating they use Emdat or Escription. I just pass right on over it.
EditScript
I have used EditScript now for 3 years and have noticed the same thing. The software is missing simple words and a lot of reports are just a mess. I agree with a previous post that part of it has to do with the skill level of the MTs working on the account. I work for a company that likes to hire new grads, so I think that might explain some of the formatting issues and incorrect phrases I encounter daily. It is very frustrating.
AVG and EditScript
I am using EditScript MT version 8 and have the paid version of AVG in my computer. Works just fine.
EditScript
I am working with Version 8 and still have Version 6 on my computer. I just downloaded 8 when they sent me the instructions and left 6 there just in case. There have been a lot of problems so far with 8, but I imagine eventually it will all be worked out. Then maybe I will get rid of 6. It's kinda like when you hold onto something in your house forever; the minute you junk it, you will need it. I guess that is why I haven't gotten rid of it.
AVG & EditScript
I work for eScription, helped in the development of EditScript, and work on the platform daily. I use the free version of AVG and it works just fine with EditScript, so I can only assume that the paid version will work, too. In fact, I think it works much better with AVG than with the others (though the last time I tried Norton's was a few years ago).
Hope this helps!

Editscript Help
Hello,
Just wondering if anyone out there knows how to get the expanded toolbar in Editscript in the work queue????
Thanks :)
Alt+= in EditScript
What happens when you highlight your word/phrase and then type Alt+=? Does the Add Entry window not show up? Or is it blank?
If it is blank, try doing Ctrl+C to add it to the clipboard before hitting Alt+=.
Problems with Editscript...sm
I work on Editscript and when I log on and click to download jobs nothing happens. All it says is to please wait jobs are being downloaded. I can't seem to get any help regarding this and I am going to pull my hair out! Does anybody who works on this platform know what the problem is?
EditScript help needed.
One of my accounts is stalling out when I'm logging in when it gets to the downloading latest contacts. The other two accounts are working fine. I tried deleting all the TPL files and have reloaded it a couple times. Any other ideas?
What are they paying for EditScript?
Just curious.
oops, it is actually Editscript
Sorry, I am new to posting.
Question for MTs using EditScript (sm)
Anyone out there using a laptop compatible with EditScript MT? I want to order a Vostro. All opinions welcome. Need to be sure the footpedal works along with an erogonomic keyboard to be able to work while traveling.
EditScript & Smartype
Does anyone know if EditScript and Smartype are compatible? I just purchased Stedman's Smartype, but I don't want to install it if it isn't going to work with EditScript.
Thanks!
