Anyone working on the Bayscribe platform (MDI-MD).
What operating system? Vista or XP.
What kind of laptop? I have a USB footpedal, dialup currently, but thinking about the wireless connection or air card for my laptop, and want to get a laptop that will work smoothly with this platform.
Looking for a used or refurbished one. Any ideas on where to get a used one?
thanks.

I just started working on the BayScribe platform.... sm
I was thrilled when the Infinity USB foot pedal I've had for a couple of years, worked just fine. This particular model has worked for several web-based platforms I've transcribed on. Maybe I got lucky?
I also just started with Landmark and right now could not be happier! I'm so sorry things didn't work out for you and I do understand that many variables play a huge part in the type of experience one MT may have from another. Good luck to you!
working on a laptop
I work on a laptop exclusively abd I love it and I use an external keyboard and external mouse. Of course, I only do private accounts. Not digital. One is from doctors notes and tapes. The other one just tapes. Not digital. No internet needed.
Anyone working on Bayscribe?
I just started on this platform, after having worked on DocQScribe for years. I am looking for info about the Expander in Bayscribe. Do I have to use this expander or can I purchase my own, i.e. Shorthand, etc. and use it in conjunction with this program. Unless I'm not using it correctly, it didn't seem to convert all of my DocQScribe expansions to Bayscribe. I find it rather cumbersome to use and am thinking about purchasing my own expander. Any comments or suggestions?
BayScribe platform
Anybody currently using BayScribe as a platform or even hear of it? Thinking of taking a position and the company uses BayScribe, thought I would ask in advance. Thanks to all. Missy.
Bayscribe platform
Can anyone give me information on the transcription platform Bayscribe, as well as Medical Dictation Services, Inc. in Maryland? TIA
Bayscribe Platform
Looking for any feedback on Bayscribe platform as used by MDI-MD. The good, the bad. Any feedback would be helpful. Thank you.
What companies use Bayscribe platform? Thanks! nm

Anycurrent employees for OTI working on Bayscribe
Just wanted to hear from current employees who work on Bayscribe. How is your production on clinic accounts. Is the ADT and demographics such as physician names and cc set up, or do you fill that in manually. I understand they are hiring for a new account but would like to hear from those who are already working on an established account and if demographcs working properly for wav accounts. Do you like working for Oracle.
Thanks for any info ! 
the bayscribe platform is supposed to be compatible,
so you could go with companies that use that.
Bayscribe platform (MDI-MD) versus DocQscribe? sm
Can anyone tell me if the Bayscribe platform is slower than DocQscribe, and if so, a lot slower? If you have not worked on DocQScribe before, then could you tell me if you feel it is as fast as other platforms you have used? Thank you!
Bayscribe platform is compatible with Vista.
You just need to find a company that uses Bayscribe. There may be other platforms but I don't know of any.
Trying to find company(ies) using the BayScribe transcription platform?
Yes, SPi does use this platform....it's a great platform, but not worth working for SPi. nm

How is this new platform working for you? sm
Also, are they REALLY counting all the lines, as posting on different board says, and are they still skimming some off? Thanks for all information!
If you are working in a Word platform
and not some confabulated platform, then the autocorrect that is part of MS Word is more than adequate for macros and expanding words. That is all I have used for the last 10 years and do just fine. Save your money.
If it's the same platform I remember working on...sm
I used to type a minimum of 300 lph on it. Is the platform you are referring to anything like DOS? The Meditech I worked on about 10 years ago was DOS based. I batched up my work every hour or so, and it had a PRD type of Expander program with it. Does this sound anything like it or has it evolved since then? Like I said, I had a killer line count, but it was an ER account, which probably had more to do with it. I would like to hear what others say since I have seen a lot of companies I'm interested in that use this platform. Good luck!
Any currently working on the Escription platform... sm
How are you with the straight jobs versus the speech recognition? Are you doing both? Is Escription much better than Extext? Are you able to double your lines with Escription VR. Thanks for sharing.
I am working on Extext platform for another company
huge difference in line count, same type of reports, same hours. I can nearly double what I did there in the same amount of time. I don't know quite what the problem is but a lot of people have complained about it and we still haven't gotten an answer to our satisfaction. I have talked to people who left there and who posted their story here and elsewhere and they got a threatening letter from the company attorney. Absolutely no grounds for this, folks are just relating their experience.
I use a laptop
I will doing my first working trip next week, 2000 miles to California. Will let you knoow how it all works out.
Laptop
Can I ask what type of laptop you bought?? Also, do you have a raised keyboard?
Thinking of getting laptop.
Thanks!
Laptop
I was recently hired by Medquist and haven't received my software yet. I'm considering purchasing a laptop computer so I can work when I'm not at home. Does anyone use a laptop or know if it's even possible to do so with their software? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks so much.
Laptop
Thank you. I just got a new one for Christmas too. I would have to use an external keyboard, absolutely cannot type on a regular one never mind a laptop keyboard!
laptop
I have worked on Bayscribe with a laptop before. It was a Dell laptop with Windows XP. It worked fine. I connected to internet with an ethernet cord in a hotel - I didn't try it with a wireless card.
Laptop
I replied earlier to the question of WM Company Laptop possibility here, but do not know where it went so will try again. Yes, there is a person that I know of that uses a WM Laptop which makes it very convenient for travel and setup and teardown. She said it sure beats the heck out of trying to pack and lug the big ole box around!. I think your request might be looked upon in a more favorable light if you are a high producer?
You can use a laptop with any company - SM
if the operating system is compatible with their platform. I don't work for Medquist and never have, but most companies only work with XP and are not yet compatible with Vista, so you may want to keep that in mind.
Question about laptop
Do any of you work exclusively on a laptop?
right, the laptop the doctors use for pointing
and clicking in their data. Hospitals were the first to switch over to this technique.
Doctors even take their laptops along when visting patients in their beds and pointing and clicking in their findings.
Webmedx--laptop? traveling
Anybody here use a laptop with Webmedx and travel? I'd love to be able to get away from home but not take time off work. I guess I could haul the PC around, but that wouldn't be as easy as a laptop.
thanks!
Anyone work for a company that they can use a laptop for and do while traveling..
With school soon out, we plan on doing traveling, but my currently job's platform/foot pedal is not compatible with my computer as it uses either a 15-pin or a USB and my current job requires a 9-pin foot pedal thus I can only use it at home and wouldnt be able to work while we travel. Does any know of any companies with a platform and/or foot pedal setup that allows for this. Thanks in advance
Mine does. Just loaded it on my laptop this week.

My kids' doctor's office also use laptop sm
They also use the laptops at my kids' doctor's office. It is basically a program where they check/uncheck items on a list. I have had the PE printed out for school sports physicals and it is pretty short (even for my son who has had a broken femur - no mention of that in the note). I also recently lost an account with no warning to EMR. The docs will be doing their own notes now and I am left to try to find another job so I can pay my bills and maybe buy a few Christmas presents. Most of the MTSO's I have sent my resume to do not even bother to send an e-mail. I know I will eventually have to look into another line of work but can't bring myself to do it until my kids are out of school. Sad situation all around.
I use my laptop with Vista on it. It works fine
for the account I do and the platform I'm on (DQS)
laptop point and click errors
Think I'll go to law school and get rich on the point and click errors in medical reports. My doctor just joined those ranks and when I went in for check, he wanted me to get on an antibiotic, and I agreed. He pointed and clicked to his laptop, sent it to the pharmacist electronically and when I picked up my prescription it was for a seizure medication and not an antibiotic. They both start with a k. I thought the pharmacist made a mistake, but no turned out it was the doctor and his point and click was wrong. He was really upset when I took it back to his office for correction. More and more of this will be happening. Check your meds before taking.
You can plug in a USB keyboard into a laptop or use a docking station.

not gott.... GOTTA (I hate my laptop keyboard..fingers are too fat)
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.
RISS is not a platform. RIS stands for Radiology Information System. The platform sm
would be EXText.
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.
MDI-MD platform is fast, not full of problems like Transcend platform or MDI-FL
On Transcend platform you have to click, click, click all day and still get errors, change screens constantly - its a nightmare to work in.
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...
Bad Platform. I personally know of 3 MTs who left because of the platform.
If you are like me, the bottom line is wages and what I get in my check. I have never worked for Amphion, but I personally know of 3 MTs who worked part-time at Amphion before quitting their other service to see what Amphion had to offer before it was too late. All 3 quit Amphion and stayed with their other service because of the Amphion platform. Too hard to make any decent lines.
Something to think about.

To all of us trying our hardest to grab our work when it is available, and then still only make 24 bucks a day because of the garbage platform.
Re: Bayscribe
Yes! Yes! Yes. Go for it. You will not regret it.
BayScribe
I've worked with BayScribe for 18 months and LOVE it! Everything is on one screen, no toggling through screens between demographics, transcription, and copies.
MDI-MD -- Bayscribe
May I ask you how long it took you to learn Bayscribe? I haven't read anything bad about MDI-MD; they almost sound too good to be true. Or maybe it's just that there really ARE some good companies out there. It all looks SO overwhelming to me that I'm almost afraid to try it. Any encouraging words you can give would be greatly appreciated. TIA.
Bayscribe
You can move through fields using the tab key. Alt D will bring up the doctor's roster.

Bayscribe - Help! sm
I just locked up my keyboard. It works, except for with Bayscribe. I'm half way through a long report. Anybody with any ideas?
BayScribe
It doesn't matter. I use the BayScribe platform too, has nothing to do with your LD.
Bayscribe
Yes, Landmark uses Bayscribe, that is if they have any work!
Bayscribe is a lot like DQS. Don't particularly like either much! nm

Bayscribe
is MUCH easier to use than DQS! No comparison!
Bayscribe
I have heard this as well and am waiting for the recruiter to call me back as I am very interested. I have heard nothing bad at all about MDI-MD which is great!
