I should have been more specific; e-MTS Cquence platform does NOT pay for spaces (sm)
only black characters
Any e-MTS MTs out there on Cquence platform that does not pay spaces? have question (sm)

How does your lines per hour being paid for ''no spaces'' add up compared to your previous experience being paid ''with spaces?''  How many lines less per hour do you type roughly? I am very leary about not being paid for spaces.  Thanks


Cquence

When I worked somewhere else we started using Reflections and it was so much faster and easier to type in.  The system I am using is hard to type in just like the other that is why I wanted a terminal Emulator so that I could use it on my computer with the cable Any suggestions?  Thanks for your reply


Cquence MT
Help me please has anyone every heard of Cquence MT or commonly called CMT .  I am looking for a terminal emulator such as reflections,etc. that is compatible with this program.  Thanks so much, Mamma J.
Do you mean Cquence?
If you do, it is really bad news. Very outdated.
Cquence
Oh no really?? Great, back to the drawing board then. Tell me more about it please??
Cquence
No, Cquence is not easy to work with. Not only is it not user friendly, but you cannot view past reports.

Anyone have Cquence experience?
Any information good or bad would be helpful...

TIA
My third week on Cquence...sm

And at first it was just arrghhh!  But now I've got my routine down pat with it and my production the last few days has been very good.  The line counts are true, in my account I am also getting paid for headers and footers, so I have no complaints.


For me there is ALWAYS a learning curve with a new platform.  And yes, I think some platforms are quicker to handle than others ... I also think everyone's experience may be different, so I would encourage you to keep an open mind.  It is turning out good for me after a few weeks.  You can e-mail me if you have any other questions. 


CMT is part of Lanier's Cquence
on-line program part, as far as I know. There are 2 parts to it, the Next Wave Player and CMT. Cquence is the name of the entire program. What is it you want to do with it? Why an emulator?
All I know is that they use Cquence software. That's why I was wondering how it is to use. nm
s
I used Cquence for a couple years
I thought it was a pain in the rear.
Currently with eMTS, use Cquence and ChartScript.
.
Cquence is a Lanier system.It was okay but clumsy.
nm
They use several software types, inc. CareFlow and cQuence,
s
MedRite XL, Cquence, and Winscribe are a few I've noted. nm
s
Cquence pay is 65-character with NO spaces, only black characters which equates to
approximately 1.5 to 2 cents per line less than 65-character with spaces.
Prior posts said they used CareFlow and Cquence software, both of which get knocked down as
s
RISS is not a platform. RIS stands for Radiology Information System. The platform sm
would be EXText.
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. 


Yes, SPi does use this platform....it's a great platform, but not worth working for SPi. nm

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.

Here is one post from a couple days back:

Posted By: Amphion on 2005-12-02

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.

To each his/her own! I was on a different VR platform sm

and ran out of work constantly.  I have worked on several VR platforms and BeyondText is not the best, but it is not the worst either. 


Every company has good and bad.  Transcend was just not a good fit for me; however, it may be a good fit for you or the next person who comes along.


I love new technology and work on state-of-the-art platforms, the newer the better, so that typewriter theory of yours really does not jive here.


Every company has good and bad, it all depends on the individual MT and what that MT is looking for in a company. 


Good luck to you and if you choose Transcend, I hope it is a good fit for you! 


 


 


Platform
Any info at all on CareFlow platform?  Is is productive?  Any info appreciated. 
MDI-MD's pay & platform

1.  How do they pay in comparison to other companies?


2.  Can you access reports typed by other people or review the patient's old reports in Bayscribe?


3.  Do they furnish PC and/or charge a fee?


Thanks


Could you tell me what platform they use?
nm
Platform???
DQS??
new platform
I really like the new platform, but it's always running out of work.  When there is work, I can get pretty good lines.
what is the best platform out there?
what is the best platform and what kind of money is "good money" in transcription?
What platform do they use? sm
Do they consider full-time to be 40 hours a week?
What platform do they use?
Any idea on the payscale?  Can you provide any other information?
platform
Okay, that is good to know. The account I would be on is on Medrite, which I have used before and like.

Thanks.
What platform do you use? nm

And if they don't get you with a bad platform,

then they overstaff your account.  I used to get over 20,000 lines before they overstaffed mine and started playing favorites, with cherry picking taking place.  (And don't say it can't happen, because it can and does right before my eyes all the time.)  I've been struggling to make the minimum to keep my benefits. 


And then they try to tell you how you're going to be making such great money when you go to voice recognition, which is a JOKE for someone who typically transcribes 250-300 lines an hour.


To read this board and find that now the incentive program is discontinued for new employees (who are now hired at a higher rate and given instant PTO) while the rest of us who were hired before November 1 have to scramble to get a higher line count in order to make what the newbies are making and have to wait a year before earning one minute of PTO only provides yet another example of the inequitable way this company operates.


I'm tired of all the games, the insulting of my intelligence with the fiction they invent, and the terrible, terrible program. 


And to all the cheerleaders out there:  Write down all the good things you have to say now, save it in a file, put it on your calendar for 6 months from now and THEN let us all know how you're making out.


As for me, I've found another job.


About which platform.......sm
Is your account still on the H platform? Is the the bo account? That's what I was on, and I am the one thinking of going back with the post above yours. If so, this is interesting to know ahead of time.
I believe you can use IT with the platform.

What platform do they use...
and are they employee only status or do they have IC also? Thanks!!
Both IC/SE, their own platform (sm)
which they are constantly upgrading in response to MT feedback, works much like Word, compatible with Instant Text, Shorthand, and Wordpad-based normals.
Could you tell me what platform

they use and if they are employee only? Do you have to be full time? Thanks much!!


Platform: their own (sm)
which works a lot like Word, accepts Instant Text, which the company will help you buy (they also have free IT classes and glossaries for many accounts). I like that they upgrade the platform based on MT feedback. Owner is known for hiring top tech staff and programmers. I'm an SE; they also hire employees. I don't think you have to be full time, but it's so easy to make the full time lines that you might want to be. I've done overflow work for probably 10 services in the last 5 years (in addition to working long term for 1 service), and I've never piled up the line count as easily as with ProScript nor been treated as well.
It is just a platform.
I worked on Softmed when I was in-house.  You are basically working in Word superimposed on Softmed.  I liked it when I used it.  If you are proficient in Word, you will do fine.   
What platform does - sm
TransHealth use?
platform
I work for them also and have found the TT/webtop platform to be slow with too many demos to search for and enter in. You must be on Vscript, would that be correct? And you don't enter any demos?
Platform
That would be fine. I just need to invest in something better for my MT's and for the company itself since we are growing tremendously. Thanks for the reply.
Do they use a platform or is it
ftp? What other software is needed? TIA!
OSI--platform?
anyone know what platform OSi (outsourcing solutions inc) uses and/or have any comments about how productive it is?
DSG platform?
Got an email from them about an interview tomorrow; what platform do they use-anyone know? Thank you
TRS platform?
I head it is word based - is this correct? Would like to be able to use my Stedman's spellcheck and ShortHand for windows.
TRS Platform
It is the Lanier CMT system and is a Word-based system.
It was NOT you, it was their platform, UGH
