Thank You!

I am wondering which is better Chartscript or Beyondtxt? Thank You! nm
TIA! nm
I am wondering if anybody is happy with their BeyondTXT program? nm
Anyone working on BeyondTXT with MDI-FL? Would like to hear from you
How do you like your accounts, are you running out of work or is there plenty. Do you like the BeyondTXT as a transcription platform, etc.
Is the MDI-FL BeyondTxt as bad as the Transcend BeyondTxt?

BeyondTxt
I don't work for Transcribe but I do work for MDI-FL on the BeyondTxt platform. I love it. Just like working in word with all the bells and whistles. Most of the Transcend work is or will be going to VR and I don't like editing so I am staying with MDI who assures us they will not be going to VR anytime soon. Hope this helps.
I am on BeyondTXT and it is okay...
I do love the company. They are very helpful and everyone has been really nice. Each person is different though, and I have seen good and bad about most companies on here. I have been with Transcend about two years and my experience has been a good one.
MDI-FL/BeyondTXT
BeyondTXT is not as productive as we were promised. My line counts have decreased and, of course, so has my income. It's not making me as happy as I was before the new software was instituted. Hope that helps to answer your question.
BeyondTXT
I am QA at Transcend, but on the ExText platform. I thought that nothing could beat ExText, but I was trained on the BT platform last week so that I can help out when my own work is low. BT was amazing--I was really impressed with the resources it provided to MTs. If I ever went back to full-time MT, I would definitely ask to transfer to that side of the company.
Sorry that I can't really provide a comparison of eScription, but I just wanted to chime in as someone who was completely loyal to a different platform. I've worked with other platforms developed by companies and have never been very impressed--usually they are cumbersome and aren't really user-friendly or productive for the MT. However, I think that BeyondTxt is all of that. :)
Good luck, whichever you choose!
I actually liked BeyondTXT....
I worked there about a year ago. I quit b/c they got really strict with their schedules and thats not I signed up for. However, right when I quit I met someone who just started working for them, on a different account from mine and with a different supervisor, and she said that the schedules weren't strict at all for her.
All in all, I had a good experience with Transcend and I would go back if a strict, tight schedule was okay for me.
Beyondtxt
I work soley on radiology but do use beyondtxt to get voice. I LOVE IT! You see all the work available unlike the Lanier and DVI box. You don't have to use your home phone line. Everything is over the internet.
Sorry, I can't give you any other information on the typing platform with beyondtxt. I have seen it and it does look like a pretty nice platform to work on.
And out of 3 different VR platforms, their BeyondTxt
Bad sound quality, way too many problems.
MDI-FL BeyondTxt is the same thing as
nm
Any info on BeyondTXT
Considering working for service that uses BeyondTXT. Any +/- info on its merits, ease of use, etc? Can MT work directly in own MSWord retaining use of expanders and such? Thanks for any feedback.
Best expander for BeyondTXT
I know this comes with ShortCuts which seems okay but has anyone found another you think is a better fit? TIA.
I work on Aim and BeyondTxt and have so much to
do that I could stay busy 24/7 if my bod would hold up. I appreciate a slow down occasionally, but not happening this week.
My advice to you -- learn the various platforms and be willing to switch accounts, etc. You will never run out of work.
Help I need answers on BeyondTXT
Can someone please tell me if you can get decent lines using the VR portion of BeyondTXT. I am being offered 4.5 cents. I have never done VR before. How does it compare to say 300 lph of straight typing? I just want to make sure I am making similar income to what I have always made. I got the hospital calling me soon and I am so confused!!!
Extext and Beyondtxt are not the same
Most of Transcend work is on BeyondTxt and it has its problems.
Why not give BeyondTXT a try
I've been on it and it's not that bad once you get the hang of it. I believe most of the work is on BT and I'm usually swamped with work. Why bash something based on what a few unhappy people have posted? 
They downloaded BeyondTxt
for me to use, and it was not compatible with MS word.
Transcend/BeyondTXT? sm
I have read in the archives where they were saying this platform was not user friendly and they had a hard time making money. Have things changed concerning the BeyondTXT program? Does anybody have anything good to say about it now? Thanks for the info.
Beyondtxt info?...sm
I'm about to try the Beyondtxt platform, can anyone give some good info about it currently besides the one above? I've been working on editscript and I hate it, hoping Beyondtxt will be much better. I'd appreciate any feedback anyone can provide:)
Nervous about BeyondTXT
We are getting ready to go to BeyondTXT and I am really concerned about what I have seen with the program not showing cc's, doctor signatures, patient names. It tells me that clicking and researching this stuff we will not be paid for any of it. Also, I am thinking when it goes to VR there will be too much editing since I do not think the program will know the difference between here and hear, and their and there, etc. It also looks like we will be fixing where the headings and info goes, not to mention all the clicking here, there and everywhere. Since it is not in word I will have to start the word Expanders again I suppose. I hope I am wrong since I have not started using it yet, but am very nervous. I hear you when you say you are worried about losing your benefits as I am in the same boat.
Is there anyone out there that can say they just LOVE BeyondTXT? nm
Thanks for any opinions out there!
I am sorry to hear you will be using BeyondTXT. sm
One of the things I hate about it is you have to do a spell check after each report; no red line to clue you in to words that are not spelled right. There are just too many things to slow you down about this program in my opinion.
Anyone else find BeyondTxt awful to
use? I have used other programs that are simple to use but this one is the worst nightmare I have ever seen. How do you make any money working on it? Also, the training and the support is almost nonexistant.
BeyondTxt versus eScription
Has anyone worked on both of these platforms who could give me some feedback on how they compare. Is one better than the other for sound quality? Is all of the patient information pretty much there for you? Do you find it easier to get lines with one over the other and why? Any info/opinions will be appreciated.
Has BeyondTXT improved over the years? sm
Just wondering since it will be new to me. Thanks!
Thought it was just me having problems with BeyondTXT sm
I was hopeful when our accounts switched over to BeyondTXT since they said how great it was. I was not able to keep my benefits because I could not make the quota needed to keep them. I thought maybe if I was one who gave up the quality and just rushed through the reports for production sake maybe I could keep my benefits, but realized I could not send a document through unless I know I gave it my best shot to fix all the mistakes VR makes on them. I am starting to think BeyondTXT is actually designed to slow you down, unless of course you are willing to rush through the reports and send them with some errors.
More info about BeyondTXT versus escription Please..sm
Can anyone please give some examples of the differences between BeyondTXT and escription? What is better about one or the other, are they about the same? Are you able to make better lines with BeyondTXT instead of escription. I've been using escription and the reports are so bad that I can't make a living with it, and I need to know if it's worth learning BeyondTXT instead. Any comments of info would be SO helpful. TIA.
I agree BeyondTXT is ridiculous, especially if you need to get bennies! nm
I am happy for you that your accounts have not been moved to Beyondtxt yet! sm
I will be interested to here your opinion of the software when they are moved over in a few months.
Anyone familiar with BeyondTXT. Is it a voice recognition software?
thanks!
To: Shelly Hendrix- Care to elaborate on the BeyondTXT.
Thanks.
I average 1800-2000 lines a day on BeyondTXT.
nm
How hard is it to get to the 900 dollars a pay period on Beyondtxt VR to keep the benefits?
Thank You! 
Thanks for your response! I have also read Beyondtxt is not as great as they make it seem.
Lack of communication, really dislike BeyondTxt and need to make more money. sm
I am just not making my bills, and I was before, so it is time to move on.
Can anyone give feedback on BeyondTXT such as user friendly, productive, etc? Any comments welcome.

Ditto.. Over 13 years experience working in hospitals doing all types of reports, currently working
for a national etc.. and Spheris told me I didnt have the qualifications. What cracked me up was the hospital I was working at at the time contracted some of our work out to them.. What a joke..I was good enough to work for a hospital and gave them work, yet not qualified enough for them. What is wrong with this picture.
MQ same situation. No pay for working holidays, no pay for working weekends nothing. Now noone works
much anymore and so they jerk the work out of the accounts to some place that throws it back with a lot of bad bad quality. This is the NE region. I dont know what the others are doing.
working from home is awesome but working for DSG is not...
horrible dictators, sound quality is bad, no answers to emails and they run out of work consistently...that is just my experience though...
Just wondering...
I've heard great things about Amphion with the single exception being somewhat lower pay than usual - is that true? Still, it sounds like a great company - expect a mass migration of MQ'ers second only to Hurricane Katrina!
wondering .....again
Do you like the dictator's?
Wondering about this
Heard from a friend that company deducts a quarter or something like that from each report for the header or template or something? Anyone know anything about that? Is it for all their accounts? Got me inquisitive....Thanks......
Just wondering......
Do you get many discharge summaries? Their site says they offer automated DS. The doc doesn't have to dictate and we don't have to transcribe. So one less report type for us lucky folks.
wondering
what kind of platform is it and what companyt? i work for one that we have to fight for work also. looking for a PT job myself.
Just wondering.....
How do you guys know all this stuff? I have worked there for about 1-1/2 years, and don't know anything about what accounts they have other than the one I am on, how they are seeking or not seeking new accounts, or anything about the general atmosphere of the company. All in all, I really don't know anything about them other than I work, send my invoice and then get paid.
Please understand that I am not questioning anything you say, just wondering why everyone else knows all this stuff and I am completely in the dark.
Wondering also
I was thinking of applying to this company and saw where you only worked a month. What made you quit? Trust me, I'm not going to tell anyone; I'm not that type of person even if you don't know me.
But I really don't like the company I'm working for as I still can't get 1000 lines a day and don't think I'll ever be able to as you spend half your time looking up names of doctors, usually foreign doctors, that the dictator wants to send a cc to. They want five or six cc's sent, and you HAVE to make sure you get the right doctor, etc. But it is VERY time consuming even though I have a hard copy also as a lot of the times, I cannot even understand the name they are dictating to send a cc to.
So I am in the looking mode again. Plus I wasn't able to use Smartype which I love, and their word Expander has NO words in it. You have to start from scratch, so it's going to take me forever to build up a list of word expanders. This issue is ALSO time consuming. It just seems like I saw something the other day about WebMedx and thought it sounded like a good company, but I'm sure there is a but with it ........there's always something about a company I don't like. Wish I could find the perfect company.
I was also wondering...
I am testing with them also and was wondering if anyone had heard about them.... any info would be appreciated.
wondering
If someone is working as an IC, how can they be required to do X number of lines or work X number of hours when they're not getting any benefits, using their own equipment and/or paying their own phone bill? I think I know the answer but just wanted another opinion.
Wondering
I do my training with them on Friday. I asked for a bit of information on the benefits and am slightly confused. Are the benefits extremely expensive?
