How many positives are new?
Speaking to non-salaried, straight MT's now; no fair responding as QA, a recruiter, or those in special favor because of top production status, just your average to above average producer. Not that I don't aim higher, but average indicates the majority.
So, if what JMO said is accurate at all, the positive posts from newbies would only confirm what she is saying - that the newbies are "well-fed" with special incentives, higher rates coming in, etc., and the old are put out to pasture, despite skill level, tenure, or extra time given, unless you are a top producer, is that the general gist?
Any non-new, non-specialized averge to above average MTs that have been at Transcend a while with an overall positive opinion? And those of you who were not happy with Transcend, where did you go and why is it better?
the positives
can be found i'm sure in the searches here. It is a solid company with high standards and respect from clients and workers. QA is good and kind in delivery of comments. Decent accts. Good pay. Very standardized accounts. Simple platform. 24-hour window to work. You're left alone to do your job. You set your line count obligation, and if you get done in less than 8 hours, you can be done. No time clock. No hassles. its a breath of fresh air! in this MT world of ours.
i wonder about all the positives we always see
I hope the company has changed for the better. However, I know that not too long ago, there were many problems at KS. And I also remember that anytime someone posted something negative about KS here, the owner would get on and post under different names. I wonder.........
positives
Two things only: They seem pretty fair and pay on time. Nothing else.
DIT Positives Please
I would like to hear some positive things about DIT. I know that someone has had a positive experience with them so please email me about it. Thanks in advance
Any positives about Proveros?
All I see are negatives about Proveros. Anybody work there that is happy? Low ESL, plenty of work? Anything?
What companies use ChartScript and ChartScript.net?
3M = SoftMed = ChartScript = ChartScript.Net
SoftMed was purchased by 3M in 2007. Both products ChartScript and ChartScript.Net are still available. Both have internal text Expanders that work well
Just because someone posts positives about a company....sm
doesn't mean they're in management, and you're presuming that someone who posts a positive is a manager is pretty ludicrious. There are plenty of MTs out there happy with their employer... even some folks happy with MQ even with all of the legal problems that company has ongoing.
Unless someone makes a statement about someone in particular at a company that is completely false then there would be no reason for anyone to request a trace to find out who a poster is. For example, on most internet boards anywhere you can say something like "XYZ company stinks" and be OK, but if you said something like "XYZ's payroll department paid me only a fraction of my earnings and failed to correct the problem" without proof to support your statement then you could be potentially held liable for posting false information. If you did have proof of in this instance a payroll problem and proof of where it was attempted to be resolved then you'd be safe.
There are plenty of positives with this company
and as always you should take negatives with a grain of salt. One person's experience may not be your own.
:)
Quite the opposite. I have found mostly positives. sm
I started 4 months ago and so far, so good. When I was doing research, it seemed that all the negative posts were from the same 2 or 3 people, one in particular that harps on no raises and no OT pay. Everyone I have talked to at KS and other MT's that I know at KS all say the opposite is true; they do give raises and do not expect you to work OT. When the do ask you to, they often say holiday pay, which means 1-1/2 times your regular rate, just like OT pay. I did get my raise at 90 days, as promised. I do have the work I need to get the lines I need to make the checks that I need, so I am happy. The training was excellent, and the QA feedback helpful not spiteful.
Transcend Services Positives and Negatives
Positives and negatives?
You have very valid points, and I'm going to try to work more on the positives. nm

More negs than positives about them on a search. Maybe leave now

Thanks You. It is nice to hear positives on Transcend since they (sm)
Will be my employer. I am trying to stay positive throughout the process, and not follow the rumors of paycuts, etc. on the boards. I will just wait and see what happens, and if I don't like the terms then I will look elsewhere.
The only thing I am upset about is possibly not working on Bayscribe anymore. Hope we get to keep using it at for our accounts.
ChartScript
Any opinions on ChartScript platform -- how is it to work on? Am considering job offer. Thanks.
RE: ChartScript
Work with it every day at the hospital that employs me. Great program. Word based, choose admission date/work type from drop-down menu, click on correct information, begin transcribing. Piece of cake.
ChartScript?
Can anyone tell me anything about chartscript? I am wondering if the program is user friendly, etc. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
p.s. Have a good holiday weekend!
CHARTSCRIPT
I was wondering if anyone knows what companies use Chartscript for their platform....I have used it before while working inhouse and liked just wondering.
Thanks!!
ChartScript or ChartScript.net
ChartScript is SoftMed's Word based transcription application, requires an install on your PC. ChartScript is awesome, user friendly, easy to learn. ChartScript.net is SoftMed's browser based application, does not use Word and is awful. Hope that helps.
ChartScript
Worried..the hospital where I work uses ChartScript. I like it pretty well. We use it with WinScribe. Hope this helps.
ChartScript
Yes, ChartScript is great. Works really well.
Chartscript
Anyone know of a company who uses Softmed (Chartscript) as its platform?
ChartScript
I now work for a company called E-mtsonline. They are based out of Coral Gables, Florida and great to work for. They used to be MRC before Medquist bought them out 8-10 years ago. Hope this helps. Also, they have tons of accounts and work. Great benefits and PTO.
ChartScript
All I saw was 65 character lines. It seems to not count whole reports.
ChartScript
Headers, etc. probably are not counted since they don't pay for weekends or holidays either.
Chartscript
Can anyone out there give me a comparison of Chartscript as compared to Meditech, Dictaphone Extext, or DocQScribe in terms of productivity?
I realize this depends on the MT but would really appreciate some input. 
chartscript
Your fingers will get used to the log in process quickly and it will become automatic and no problem. At least it did for me.
ChartScript
I have used ChartScript over five years. It is wonderful to work with. There are built-in Expanders and you can create your own. You can also set up your own normals. It is very user friendly. The demographics are easily entered. You can easily verify your line count. I have not used any other platform so I can't make any comparisons but I love CS.
chartscript
Chartscript was a wonderful platform, too bad the company that has it (SPi) sucks!
Chartscript
I just took on a new account that uses Chartscript. I have never used this platform before. It is a good, stable platform that is easy to use? I have worked mostly in ExText and have never even seen Chartscript before. I just want to be prepared. Thanks!
ChartScript
Looking to work with ChartScript. Anybody?
Chartscript.com sm
Chartscript.com.... the good, the bad, the ugly...? Any information greatly appreciated 
chartscript
In 15 years I've used a boatload of transcription platforms: MTS, MedRite, DoQscibe, Chartnet and now MS Word, but I have never used BayScribe. I detested DoQscribe. ChartNet was a joy to switch to when I switched jobs. I worked with ChartNet for about 18 months (then my employer sent all its work to the Philippines and dumped the US personnel - but that's another story).
I found ChartNet a very user-friendly platform. It is easy to modify expansions, to back them up and restore then from a floppy disk, something no technical person could help me accomplish with DoQscribe. One feature of ChartNet I miss every day is the way I could highlight a term and jump right to Google to look it up. What a timesaver! Also, I was able to look up not only my own past reports, but the work of other MTs, and do it by dictator, so that I could figure out unclear dictation from the way others had interpreted it. Really good system. I think you'll like it.
chartscript
Well, duh! Just realized you were NOT asking about Chartnet but Chartscript. Is my face red! I should be sleeping, not messing around online at this hour. In the words of SNL's Emily Litella: Never Miiiind!
Chartscript
Depends on what acct you're on. Which will you be going on?
chartscript
Does anybody know any companies who use Chartscript? Also, do I have to check with who I am working for as to whether I can use Instant Text with it? I worry it may affect things on their end and don't want to damage anything. TIA.
ChartScript
I believe Diskwriter out of Pittsburgh still uses ChartScript as the UPMC Healthcare System in that area uses it also. Hope this helps. Belinda
I use ChartScript
but not with Keystrokes. I am not sure about the medical spellchecker issue because we also use NetLinc and work in our own Word 2003 and I use that spellchecker. However, the issue with things popping up that you do not type are things within ChartScript. If, and you have to do this every time you log in to work, hit control W, it will not do this.
ChartScript
.... also, I like ChartScript a lot.
ChartScript
You are more than welcome to e-mail me any time, and hopefully I will have an answer for you. It would be nice if they had a manual. If I find out that they do, I will definitely let you know
TRS uses ChartScript
try this site http://www.transrs.com/default.asp
Chartscript is really MS Word
I have used Chartscript for several years. It is Word with a Chartscript toolbar. Allows auto faxing, can look up existing reports and VERY user friendly. It works with your own version of Word as far as auto text and auto correct. Shorthand word Expander works with it very well also.
which companies use ChartScript?
nm
Diskriter has some Chartscript
nm
ChartScript program
Is anyone familiar with this program and the line counter? I'm pretty sure some or a lot of my lines are not being counted.
Another Chartscript question -
Can somebody who has used this program tell me if they were paid for the weighted lines or just the lines amount? I'm being paid for lines only and that's why I'm asking.
Archivus and MRC use ChartScript, or they did. nm

How is Chartscript to work on? sm
Hi,
Wondering how chartscript is to work on? easy to get lines or cumbersome?
one of my accounts is with chartscript..sm
and it is nothing like Escription. I guess every account is different, because my company is going to an online platform within the next two weeks, and chartscript will be able to be used within it. At the present time, however, we do have to download files via an FTP, which is very similar to VPN, have a separate digital voice player, type the files into the chartscript format, save the files, and send back via FTP. You won't need to look up any patient demographics. Most of the info is already provided on the chartscript format. All I have to enter is the patient name, MR#, and job number. Everything else is preloaded. It is fairly easy to manuever through. I do not mind the format.
I just need to say though, that if you need to use a VPN and separate digital voice player, then it is the company that does not have an online platform to support it. Like I said, we will be using it online within the next two weeks. so it isn't the chartscript that is the problem.
I wish you luck.
PS: Setting up the VPN is a little difficult. You have to follow the instructions given to you very carefully. Basically you are opening a direct link between your computer and theirs. Once it is set up, it is easy to use.
