I've used both but wondering which people generally prefer. Me? I'd have to say DocuScribe is more user-friendly to me. Ideas?

ExText versus BayScribe
I have used both, and I like both. I was faster on ExText but the account was much easier than my BayScribe account. One of the things I like about BayScribe is everything is on one screen (demographics, text, and copies). No toggling between screens.
MedRite XL versus Bayscribe
Has anybody used both platforms? I have two job offers and I have the impression that I will make more lines using Bayscribe. Also do either of these support Shorthand? Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks!
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!
MDI versus MedScribe versus SoftScript versus Transsolutions versus TransHealth. SM
I'm getting ready to start applying and these are the companies that I'm looking at. So give me the low-down. Good, bad, India?
Here are my criteria:
9 cpl or better
Does NOT send work to India
Good accounts with at least 50/50 of ESL versus American dictators
Consistent work flow - no downtime or time spent waiting for work
Upper management should be professional, positive, and encouraging.
Pay for lines WITH spaces.
Is there such a job out there or am I just dreaming? If there are other companies other than the ones I listed that would fit the bill, please feel free to let me know. I tested with TransHealth and I felt like I tanked. It was a hard test and I had to use the mouse to stop and start the dictation as it was online test and you couldn't download the voice files. So that made it a lot more difficult. One of the dictators was cutting himself off through the report and I had to leave some blanks. I'm very frustrated with this whole process of looking and testing. Are all the tests like that? Or are there companies that allow you download the test files and transcribe them using your pedal and software? Ugh! I am just so frustrated and discouraged.
Thanks for any helpf.
DocUscribe...
platform Medquist uses that we all know and love. 
DocuScribe
Anyone know how this platform is?
Docuscribe....sm
That account is full of horrible ESLs. I like Docuscribe, but the ESLs, I would say, make up about 60% of the account. It is awful, I won't deal with this much longer. Changes to account day in and day out sometimes 3 times a day...Can't get production going, always something changing....but what can one expect considering where the hospital is located. I am so disappointed.
Docuscribe
I work there and love it. My account just went to Docuscribe and I love it. My production has jumped a good bit. I have plenty of work just about all the time and they leave me alone, pay me on time, etc.
KS regarding Docuscribe
Is KS still looking for people to work on the big account they started a while back? I know it was utilizing Docuscribe and I was hired for it but because of the great amount of ESL dictators, I decided not to stay with them. I really didn't mind the Docuscribe though, and can't figure out why they would require experienc on Docuscribe. I didn't think the platform was difficult to learn at all.
Would love to be on Docuscribe at KS
love to be on it again..it beats Meditech any day!
For any Keystrokes MTs on Docuscribe
How do you feel about the Docuscribe account now that you have had a chance to work on it a while? I read there were lots of ESLs, but how is the work load and have you gotten into a rhythm with it? Thanks.
I went from Docuscribe to Extext. It only took about
a week or so to get up the required line count; but I had to put all my short cuts in over again, so that slowed me down somewhat. All in all its not a bad program.
DSG out of Atlanta uses Docuscribe. nm
nm
They are saving a fortune on Docuscribe (sm)
Since switching most of us have taken a deep dip in wages. A little perk to keep morale up wouldn't hurt.
Anything out there part time DocuScribe except MQ? n/m

They are the ones calling it Medquist Docuscribe, not me. nm
Does Keystrokes use Docuscribe? How are they to work for?
I am tired of geting burned by some of the companies that advertise here. I want a job that has a lot of work, does not outsource and have good accounts.
My resume is looking worse and worse because I appear to be job hopping. I want to find a good company where I settle in, work hard and retire in 7 or 8 years.
I worked for MQ for 11 years and loved DocQscribe. I just saw an ad from Keystrokes that they use it and want to know if they are as good as they seem to work for.
This is so confusing. Most of the companies either run out of work, send work to India or conveniently forget to pay for work done. Help! I need a good company!
I just started on the new account with DocuScribe. It is the same as MQ. sm
I worked for MQ for a long time. When they got this new account, they asked if I was interested in changing accounts because I had the experience with the platform. It is the same one exactly. The difference is that KS has a lot of work and we are not pooled. They have taken on a lot of MQ accounts in the past few months. I think that they have a great reputation with their accounts and in general and that the fact that they do not send work offshore is very important to hospitals. It is to me :)
Keystrokes Docuscribe Account
Did anyone out there get hired a few weeks ago by KS for a new account that is on the Docuscribe platform (the same one that MQ uses)? If so, how do you like that platform and how is the account? I am very curious about this because it stated in the ad that they will be putting a lot of new accounts on that platform in the coming year. Please share your experience thus far. Thanks a bunch.
Keystrokes New Docuscribe Account
I asked this question last week and would like to check regarding if transcriptionists who were hired for this account feel any better about it yet? Last week there were a lot of negative posts stating too many ESL dictators that were very difficult and they were not able to produce a good line count. Has it improved any for you? Also, how do you like the Docuscribe platform?
No. We use DocuScribe and have no intentions of selling to MQ. sm
They have a separate department for technology, used to be Lanier, and they keep it separate. It is the same as using WebChartMD or EmDat. We pay what we use.
I know of Meditech, DocuScribe, TA+ and ExText for HIM and sm
Radnet, Meditech, HBO Star and Misis for radiology.
All of those are compatible with Shorthand.
Does/Did MedQ use Docuscribe program?
I quit the big Q several years ago and can't remember what program I used. (Old age memory problems, LOL). Does anyone know if they do or did use Docuscribe? TIA.
Does Smart Type work with Docuscribe? sm
entertaining an offer and need to know about this. Thank you.
I work on Docuscribe (not MQ) and have also worked on Chartscript in the past. My line counts went
down significantly when I went to the DQS platform. Don't know if it is being manipulated or not, just simply stating the facts as I have seen them.
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
x
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!
Bayscribe
I currently work on the Bayscribe platform and I absolutely love it! It seems to be very MT friendly and I also get a great line count. Hope this helps-
Bayscribe
Is this a good platform to work on?
Bayscribe
It's okay--I have worked with a lot worse. Pretty simple and easy to learn. Doesn't slow you down in any way, I don't think.
i like bayscribe too,
your cc list, adt, text area, QA comments, are all on one screen.
but i saw recently where about 3 companies were mentioned that use it, and i cannot find where i wrote them down.
its not perfect, but i think you can go pretty fast on it.
Try MDI-MD. They use Bayscribe
x
BayScribe
It's kind of a bare bones kind of platform, but I really like it. You are not slowed down by opening up a lot of windows for your demographics, transcription page, and copies. You can access your own reports, but as far as I know, no one else's. Hope that helps.
Bayscribe
Do they use only Bayscribe? TIA
Bayscribe
Does anyone know if Bayscribe will run with other transcription programs loaded on same computer???
bayscribe
Bayscribe is a lot faster than DocQscribe. It's very MT friendly. The only thing about it is that that spellchecker is...shall we say....quite anemic. Other than that, it's awesome.
Bayscribe
I have worked on DQS and Bayscribe. There are certain features of DQS I like better (being able to insert a doctor's name into the report with a keystroke command, but overall Bayscribe is a lot easier to use.
IT and Bayscribe
Yes, I've had this happen. You have to be careful to spell the first word of the sentence after the period correctly or it sometimes won't capitalize. I'm still trying to figure out what causes this. I think it has something to do with backspacing too many times. This just started happening recently.
Why do you need them in Bayscribe?
the bayscribe Expander and work and my ShortHand works in whatever program I'm in, including Bayscribe.
BayScribe
If you have an internet account, you do not have to input any patient info. I've worked on ExText before, and I think BayScribe is faster because you don't have to wait for the pages to load. You just transcribe.
Bayscribe ?
I am being told that my Stedman's software is not compatible with Bayscribe. Is there a program on Bayscribe that is comparable to Stedman's? Is it true that the spellchecker does not identify mispelled words with underling or such? Thanks
Bayscribe
Sometimes you have to just reboot your computer. If you keep having problems, I would check with the company not here.
MDI-MD/BayScribe
I've been with MDI for almost 4 years and have also worked on ExText. I like both programs. I think BayScribe is a good platform with all demographics, transcription, and cc's entered on one screen, which is probably my favorite thing about BayScribe. I do wish the spellchecker was better. You have to enter a lot yourself into it. BayScribe doesn't have as many bells and whistles as ExText, but to me it feels fast.
