sound likes a good idea
and I do not believe it is just one MT...surely the company has at least a couple skilled MTs. TAT is the name of the game and is what keeps every one having work.
re: AutoCorrect/Instant Text
I, too, have used AutoCorrect exclusively for the last 2 years and have been able to do very well on my line counts; however, after some recent research into Instant Text I ordered it (and actually just received today). While I have not had time to use it yet, I really like the fact that it has WAY more capability than AutoCorrect. I can't wait to experiment with it and believe it will prove to be a worthy investment when I learn all of its possible functions.
Had contact with someone there recently who likes it, but they still don't have DD. nm

Their listing on mtjobs.com (#11) still has them in Wisconsin. A contact likes working for them,

Can Axolotl MTs use Instant Text as their expander?
I read in the archives that you have to use their computer. Does anyone know if you can keep using Instant Text as your Expander or do you have to use their expander only?
I personally think Autocorrect is as good as anything.
I don't even bother with Shorthand
Anybody working on Cquest, likes, dislikes?? good line rate??
Any information would be much appreciated....
I have mine in autocorrect as yo. Autocorrect with
expand the abbreviation after a hyphen...so if I type 41-yo it auto expands to 41-year-old
Personally, DSG is a good fit for me. Pay is good and on time, sound quality depends on the account
and I like the platform. There is not much weekend work, although sometimes is available. I get along well with the management, no major complaints. There is pay incentive once you get over a certain number of lines in a pay period. I work as an IC, so can't help with benefits, insurance questions, etc.
Thanks -- that's good news! Do you use an expander? If so, what type? sm
The platform I use now has an Expander built in. I am an old PRD girl, and have heard ShortHand works similar to that, so was thinking of trying that if it works with ExText.
Thanks again.
Is 7cpl text/3.5 cpl VR for someone with 13 years exp. a good amt. sm
or is it low? I've recently had to start looking for a new job and am trying to figure out what a good cpl rate is for someone with my experience: 13 years of mostly acute care work. It seems kind of low to me but maybe not. I've been an IC for the last five years or so, but kind of wanted to get away from it for a while as I can never seem to be discplined enough for my taxes. The 7 cpl text and 3.5 cpl VR is employee status, the only benefit right now would be PTO with insurance in a few months possibly. I worked at my last company forever and only made 8.5 cpl as an IC, so all of this is kind of new to me.
Thanks!
DSG is a good company. The sound quality is good sm
but I don't understand why they are hiring. In the a.m. was have NO work. The afternoon and evenings do have more work though.
Can someone recommend a good text expansion program? Thanks!
nm
Good thing that have not contact me....
because I will definitely not go back. Do you know what their new company name is?
Contact me for good price
$60.00 plus shipping for StartStop foot pedal. I got it when I worked for SoftScript before, so know it works well with their program.
Well thanks but that does not sound too good does it? for OSI I mean. nm
.
Did the MT interviewing with Transcript USA make contact yet? Anything good
s
Transcend has Escription and EX text. Medware has ex-text.
Deventure I know has Escription but I am not sure if they hire PT or not.
Wow, that does sound like a good platform...
Maybe I should apply with your company. I need an efficient platform with hot keys and easy access. That sounds great!
What happened there? Did they can a few of the QA? You sound like one of the good ones. nm

Doesn't sound good
I did not know they outsourced to India. No wonder they are paying the Transcriptionist so darn cheap. People in India can live off making very low pay. I better look elsewhere. Thanks for your advice.
They do sound like a good company (sm)
and as long as they have people who volunteer to work holidays, they won't have to make rules about it.
sure does not sound like a good move if you are not getting sm
the work types you like and are good at. Sorry to hear you are not happy.
Thanks!...Doesn't sound so good! lol n/m

The sound files are usually quite good, actually.
Of course, every once in a while you get a bad quality report.
Medquist is starting to sound really GOOD!
I work for a national where the platform's been down more than up for the last few months, and they don't pay a penny for downtime.
Hmm..that doesn't sound good. Thx for sharing. NM
f
Thank you - that doesn't sound good. Continuing to look ......nm
xx
Phew...! Doesn't sound good! sm msg
It sounds as if the owner loses her cool! Not good! Thanks!
Why don't these companies realize that good sound quality is
essential for transcribing. If the big bosses had to listen to the scratches and static for hours on end, day after day, maybe this wouldn't happen, but most of them don't even know what a foot pedal and headset are. I find that the sound quality from the internet files are far worse than anything I ever encountered on DVI, C-phone, or Lanier systems telephone systems.
Only good thing I have heard lately is that a friend of mine, also an MT recently filed for disability based on hearing loss and/or inability to hear the files that she was required to do and won the case for total disability. She does have some hearing loss, but when she took her computer to the hearing and dialed in and had the adjudicator listen, there was no question that she would never be able to continue in this line of work. Maybe a few more workman comp cases would wake them up.
I'm so sorry to hear this. It doesn't sound good. I hope you
nm
Not yet but our office is being transferred there I think with out accounts. Doesnt sound good. Why
did you transfer from Foxboro. I wont stay there if they take me off my accounts. How is the quality with putting people on all these accounts. It is my understanding all the NE offices will be working out of Amherst fairly soon. What a fiasco that sounds like it will be. How long do you think this will last until all the good MTs move on if that office contines to do that.
Pay 8 cpl, use MTWorld software, sound quality supposedly not good. nm

If you say anything good about this company, the trolls want to knock you down,but..Sound is fine
nm
Cbay doesn't sound good. Glad I left
the Q when I did. I really hashed over that decision, but I am so glad I did. There will be a lot of people looking for work very soon. I wouldn't wait around until all the good spots are filled.
I meant to say rerecord does not sound good on DQS. Very hard to understand even when
doctors dictate into a recorder and put in on the system.
Yeah, but the sound quality is horrible on all accounts. Good luck with that!

Good sound quality, fair line counting, pay always on time.
nn
1100 lpd for FT, good sound quality, ExText software, LOTs of ESLs..nm
s
How are the MW accts that use the ExText? Good sound? Lots of work? Acute care or clinic? Thx. nm
s
I just use my autocorrect. nm
x
Can you use AutoCorrect in VR mode?
nm
Not autocorrect. I know those work. How did you
They've never worked for me in BT and I was told autotext can't be converted in BT.
It comes with Shorthand or use autocorrect.
I like the system
AutoCorrect should be the least of your problems
You will spend most of your time doing data entry which you won't be paid for. Amphion uses Dictaphone EXtext which has it own Expander program called ESP. AutoCorrect is not compatible with it. However the bigger problem is you will have to add all the patient data if you have an account that doesn't interface with the facility and most of the time newbies are stuck with this account. You will do a lot of busy work and won't be paid for it. Wish you a lot of luck though but Amphion didn't work for me.
I think when you have someone who likes
their co that that does not mean they are a cheerleader. I would think they are in a better position of judgment that someone who does not work there.
People are much more willing to listen if someone has facts to go with a statement. The OP did not give one fact in this thread that backed up the claim of dishonesty
Not everybody likes to job hop. We have every right sm
and are wise, to judge a company by what we read about it, what they offer, before we bother with them. Most people like to find a good company and stay there. This one just seems way to sketchy to me, and their line rate and incentive plan, regardless of what other posters may say, is really low. They charge rental for equipment, too, with is definitely a no-no in my book. If they want you to use their equipment, they charge a deposit, but not a rental fee.
AutoCorrect is not compatible with Extext ESP

Autocorrect entries into Emdat?
How can I get my MS Word autocorrect entries into Emdat Inscriber without having to enter them all over again? Thanks
Do you have an Autocorrect feature? You could delete what's
X
I just came on here and it seems absolutely no one likes their job at all
I personally work for a great company that does a lot for its' MTs and is consistently bashed on this board. I do note, however, that almost every company is spoken about in a negative manner. Is this a board where people just come and vent frustrations? If so, I will not be visiting it anymore.
Hope you all have a great Memorial Day.
