Hi all.  I was wondering if anyone knows how to save the ESP file (expanders) in Word Client so I can transfer it to another software platform?  My company is switching platforms and without being able to save and transfer my ESP file, I will have to completely rebuild my Expanders from scratch.  Help please!!!!!!

Emdat actually does have a Word client in it sm

Most places don't like for you to use it because it screws up the formatting, or at least that is what they say.  I could not get Emdat's Word client to open on it was installed on.


I have a friend who works in it.  She types in Word, pastes in WordPad, back into Word and over to Emdat...copy paste copy paste YIKES.  I may have that wrong and she may work in WordPad, copy to Word, copy back to WordPad and into Emdat, but in any case it is a hassle, but she says it works okay.


EXText Word Client problem
I am using EXText Word Client software with Transnet provided by MTSO for hospital account. I am getting an Exception error when I try to bring up the ExText Word Client (An Exception (0xc0000005) has occurred. A dump file will be generated.) I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software an upgraded but still errors out the same way. Everyone seems to disown the problem. Are there any EXtexters out there that have a fix for this?

SmartType will run in Word client programs sm
I know this because I have used it in MedRite XL, Extext, MTWorld and Winscribe. There are a couple of others out that it will run with. Sometimes you have to futz a bit (Extext), but it will run.

SmartType is wonderful and I am VERY productive with it, BUT it will limit your career and flexibility somewhat if that is all you can or will use. It has to have Word or an actual Word client, you can't link it to IM, email or a funny platform like you can IT for instance. (SH will also do this.)

Unless you tend to stay at a job for years at a time, AND it is a Word client like Extext, it is best you have IT or SH because they are portable from one system to another. Much as I love ST and have used it for over 10 years, I can't unreservedly recommend it to anyone.
Dictaphone Word Client Application
Hi everyone! I have a question that I need answered as quickly as possible. I have the opportunity for a job but it requires use of a Dictaphone Word Client Application.  I've used a Dictaphone before and then just typed the dictation into Word.  Can someone please explain to me what a Word Client Application is??  Thank you so much!! Have a good day!
dictaphone word client program
I went into google, typed 'dictaphone word client', saw your request there and a few others re this - you might find your answer using Google search. Good luck. Jean
Does PC ShortHand work on Emdat or Word Client?
And if so how do I get it to work when using these platforms?
Dictaphone EXText Word Client question.

I've been working along and all of sudden I noticed my trans status window is gone.  It's the little window that shows your downloaded jobs waiting to be transcribed/edited.  How do I get the box back without logging out and logging back in?  I'm not sure where it went or how I closed it, but I must have inadvertently clicked something.


Thanks!


One client uses word count.....total divide by 1000

How do you get the shorthand word expander to work in 'word client'?

Part-time work using Extext/word client/dictaphone
Anyone know any companies that are hiring that use this system?  I really want to start part-time and then probably commit to full time later.  I really want a company that supplies your equipment!  Thanks.
EXText word client blank screen everytime I login
I am using EXText Word Client software with Transnet. I am getting a blank screen everytime I login. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software an upgraded but still errors out the same way. Are there any EXtexters who could help?


iChart

New user to Dictaphone ExText. Can someone tell me how to use iChart for my own personal line count?  (I do have my user & password, but not much else).


 


 


ichart
Yes, I guess it is an ongoing problem with Dictaphone. I have not idea how many lines I have since 2/4/07...I haven't had any line counts at all since then!!
Ichart
Ichart is just the line counting portion of ExText. It is on the Dictaphone site.
? re ExText and ichart
It's been about 7 years since I worked with ExText and have applied somewhere that uses ExText ichart.   Is that a new component of ExText?  Could someone please clarify for me?  Thanks
EXText Word Client - blank screen everytime I give "ok" in the DIS screen
I am using EXText Word Client software with Transnet. I am getting a blank screen everytime I give "ok" in the DIS screen (patient details info screen). I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software an upgraded but still errors out the same way. Are there any EXtexters who could help?

EXText word client blank screen everytime I give ok in DIS screen
Thanks your suggestion was very valuable. At a specified time (which the technical side say, when the net speed is very good), it is working without a problem at all (whereas this was half working and half not working before even at this time), but other times, still the same problem exists.

Actually the blank screen comes every time I give "ok" in the DIS screen (patient details info screen).
iChart for radiology...good, bad?
Is iChart a productive platform while doing radiology report?  Any info appreciated.  TIA
IT should work with FutureNet ichart, right? nm

Any info appreciated.  I have never worked on this platform.  TIA

FTP Client
I still don't know what an FTP client is that was asked in the original question? 
the client always wants a little something...sm
The client always wants a little something for nothing.....so I give them a free line if there is only one word on the line...I give them a 68-72 character line (spaces I do count).  I have never upped them in 9 years, but on my 10th anniversary I am upping them to 13 CPL.  I also give them their 5 line headings for nothing as it's only 2 Keystrokes for me.  They are good to me so I bake for the offices a couple of times a year and give the offices a gift during the winter holidays. 
I do for one client

One of my clients requested that I charge this way.  We do 10 words = 1 line, so basically a penny per word.  From what I have figured, I'm doing okay when compared to the character count way of charging on this account.  I think they requested charges calculated this way because of being ripped off by their last MT.  Once I send their files, they can check the word count and keep a running tab to compare with my statement.  They're satisfied and I'm satisfied, so it works well. 


Have your client do it. SM
Call the office of your client and have them fax/e-mail to you samples of their prior surgeries.  There's certainly nothing wrong with asking for this.
the client does not have to have it-- sm
The client can unzip using WinZip or whatever program they have installed, but MP Tools is so easy, some clients may want to use it. I have a couple who are interested in purchasing it just for the printing function, which works really well.
I had a client ask me to look
They provided a patient list for the date of service, but if the patient was not on there, then I had to view on-line the past week of patient lists to look for the name.  Yeah right - that took 15 or 20 minutes sometimes uploading and viewing.  So now, they get an inaccurate spelling of the patient name with a comment when I send there report, pt. not on list.  Hello?  Like the low wage isn't bad enough, and then add in that kind of junk.  It is pathetic. 
What the client says is law, if that is what they want, then
that is what they expect and they have the right to tell an MTSO who can and cannot work on their accounts.
Even with this, the client is always
BOS is a style guide, which I do not own.  However, I aim to please the client.  So, if the doctor wants to spell something his own way, then so be it.  He went to medical school, not me!  A book of style means absolutely nothing to a client who wants things a certain way.  End of story. 
It is just according to what the client
wants. Most do I would think, but some want them in a paragraph form and not captialized. Need to check with your supervisor or client.
Oh my! Do you have your own client? sm
I don't know of any MTSOs who pay 13 cpl. If you found one please share.
I'm not sure, but if the client does not
get a cut for using ASR, they why would they care whether their physicians use it or not????

We would be a lot more valued if they all thought ASR was as good as originally touted and had no editors to fix the darn reports it spits out.
First off..there is no way the client is getting a
And ASR is NO WAY 3 times faster...that will never happen. Most transcriptionists type the speed of the dictator to begin with. ASR could be a great tool for those of us needing a break from transcription, but it does not warrant ripping off our cpl's..ESPECIALLY when the client is charged the same...the have NO WAY of knowing whether the report is goes to ASR or not. Lastly, an ASR Editor needs YEARS of transcription experience, becuase to insure a correct report
It would be according to what the client
wants. We just type the numbers if they are dictated that way.
Unless specified by the client, I only
expand in diagnoses, procedures, impression, etc. I always type what they say when it comes to drugs, you don't change things like two a day to b.i.d. unless directed to do so by the client specifically. Also, on my client we are not allowed to use slang, so if they say "sat" we expand to saturation, bili is changed to bilirubin etc. A good MT never takes it upon herself to change something that is dictated UNLESS they are specified to in certain instances by the client or it something is wrong--then if it is changed you flag it for your QA.
I think relistening to a certain client until you
are very used to them is a good idea. Just put it on high speed and go over it. That won't take near as much time. I am QA and I can most certainly tell the difference between those who relisten or at least reread and those who do not.
never a client from a national, but...sm

A client approached me AFTER both HE and I had quit working for this one particular MTSO...I worked for him, she found out and tried to sue ME for $20K.


I sent her back a play $20K bill and told her that was about as much as her "lawsuit" was worth. Never heard another word from her.


Own client question
Those of you with your own clients.  What do you do when you want to go away for the weekend, or get sick?  I can see this as being about the only reason to stay with a company.  The ability to get someone else to pick up your accounts for a few days is appealing.
Depends on the client.....sm
At any rate you have too many commas, imho.

"I told him to clean the area with hydrogen peroxide and after that he can apply the Neosporin ointment." Works just as well.
It just depends on what the client wants.
I have some that still use tapes and some that I do through a TASP. So for the TASP, I have a wav pedal for the computer, Express Scribe, and that's it. For the tapes, I have the usual trancriber setup.
Maybe the client requested the

Pleeeez help. What is an FTP client?

I was asked that when applying for a job. I know it means file transfer protocol, but how the heck am I supposed to know how my audio files get transferred?


And I thought I was pretty gosh durn smart.


Client rate

It depends on the rate in your area, but I would charge no less than .12 per 65 char line.  I think this rate is not too high and not too low.  You have be careful about charging too much as someone will undercut you.  Practicount is a line count program that will allow you to charge for headers, footers, bolded areas, underlines, and so on.  This way if you have to drop your price in order to get the client you can charge for other things that will make up the difference.


Good luck!!!


it's really client preference......NM

In general no, but your client may need you to

Well, if that's how she's billing the client SM
then that's how you should be billing her (just characters and spaces).  I'm sorry you're going to be losing money.  I'd be unhappy too.  Maybe you can work on your shortcuts/macros more so that you are typing less for the same amount.  No real words of wisdom for you...sorry.
Maybe so, but ultimately it is the client

The needs of the client have changed.
They can say they need the work whenever the fancy strikes them. You can either provide it or not. That is just the way this business works.
I lost a big client and a new one to EMR
My own doctor hired me after losing my account to EMR. I sat around for two months waiting for him to start only to be told on an office visit that he too has gone EMR. Good luck.
