In Reply to: Chartscript- Just starting a job using this platform. I havent begun training yet but in looking at - Old dog no new tricks

I have worked on Dicatphone and thought that system was fairly easy to learn. How does Chartscript compare to that platform and production wise. thanks

MQ speech platform MUCH easier and MT friendly than TT's

Dictatphone Exspeech is just awful !!!!  You will see, I guarantee you  !!!


DQS is excellent editing platform.


Chartscript is gone - nice platform now
xxxxx
Is the new platform you speak of ChartScript? nm
x
never mind CTS is ChartScript, right? the old platform. TY nm

Is the ChartScript platform at Transcend truly
ChartScript or is it ChartScript.net?
Chartscript- Just starting a job using this platform. I havent begun training yet but in looking at
the manual, it looks complicated or that you have to open up a lot of thing, I-player or something, a VPN, then the platform etc. Tell me it will be easy to learn and your able to whip through reports. I got spoiled on Escription where you just load the platform and go and then hit on button to upload. No VPN to sign into and load, no player. Just one thing. I think I'm getting to old and set in my ways to learn new systems. It seems like a hassle, so if there are any Chartscripters out there who can give me some positives, I'm all ears. I tried one other job that was the same thing and even got worse when I had to open up a ton of screens just to get demographics etc..and that was before I could even type the thing. I just cant see how that would be productive. You have 10 minutes into it before you even type the job LOL.
Dictaphone platform sm
Anyone know of any companies out there that utilize the Dictaphone platform?  Any help would be great.... TY
Especially if you are on the Dictaphone platform
You have to refer to the 'cheat sheet' on every single job...with no pay for doing this.
ExText (Dictaphone) is platform..
I've never used Extext before, so I'm learning. I really like it so far. It's been easy to learn.
They use Dictaphone Extent platform. I am not
sure what the Expander program is, but it comes with the Dictaphone platform. They gave me 12 hours of paid training at $10/hr plus lines typed. I know its not much, but you pick up the platform pretty easily. They have both VR and straight typing. I only do the straight typing, but form what I've read on this board the VR for Dictatphone is not that great.
Does Inscribe's Dictaphone platform
I am curious to know if Inscribe's Dictaphone platform will work with dial up internet service?  That is all that is available to me right now.  Thanks
you are confused...dictaphone is a platform...sm
time to come into the 21st century
List of companies that use Dictaphone platform??
I like working on the Dictaphone platform and would like to find a company that uses this platform.. preferably with low ESL.  Tried a company that had Dictaphone but the ESL was so bad I could not get a good line count.
They use Dictaphone ExText. It's a really great platform.

my favorite platform is dictaphone extext. interested in hearing what yours is.
/
They use Dictaphone EX Text platform. Very user friendly and easy to work on.
It is all strictly internet based. No extra phone lines required. They do reimburse your high speed internet up to I think $40 a month, too.
Nuance is the parent company of Dictaphone. Dictaphone makes ExText.

Does Dictaphone obtain the accounts for the companies who use Dictaphone EXText?
I was just wondering if this is the same as it used to be.  Dictaphone installs the equipment in facilities and then gets a MTSO to take the account.  Therefore, the MT company never solicits for accounts, but Dictaphone notifes them when they have installed equipment in a hospital.
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
Those are easier to do.
It makes them look good in front of a supervisor who is unaware!
I think they are easier to get, too, sm
but I only worked at MQ for a short while over a year ago. I agree that the atmosphere is better by far, too.
We know they get easier after a while; the woman would just like
z
NP easier to understand....
but they do go on and on and on forever....just can't keep it brief.
That's easier said than done these days. sm
Even the American products are built overseas or have some ties to offshoring.
easier way to calculate
an easier way to calculate is that it is said that typically it takes 3X as long to transcribe so if itis 45 mins, multiply by 3 and divide by 60 to figure out the amount in hours  so 45 X 3 = 135, divided by 60 = 2.25  two and a quarter hours.
but it wouldn't be easier for someone who has
x
would probably be easier to post the ones who don't

It was easier when they were babies sm
in the pre-toddler stage.  Now that they are preschool/school age, I find it impossible to keep focused on work and them too.  I had to resort to working in the evenings when my husband was home so I could not be distracted. Good Luck!
Nothing easier than self deceit?

I was BEGGED by my supervisor to hang in there and flex.  Told that things would get better.  A bunch of lies.  Lies make me angry.  Especially lies involving my wallet.


Sorry we aren't all half vulcan and see the world with cold professional logic right along with you.  Surprise, some of us get emotional about our paychecks, especially during a recession.  But if you're that embarrassed, don't read about it, and hang out with the other vulcans.


If I kicked you in the shin, would remain the picture of diginity and grace, or would you scream because it hurt?  You are only a paragon of dignity because you personally has hurt you - yet.


I was thinking it might be easier to figure out
nm
LOL. Perhaps I should stick with MQ--easier to spell...sm

 


Thank you, me, for the info in your previous posts. 


Faster, easier, and more reliable than Autocorrect.

Is there an easier way to find out if companies offshore?
I have worked for 3 companies that all offshored and were absolutely not forthcoming about it upfront. I never want to work for one again. Is there a list somewhere or am I banging my head on the wall. Again.
as the poster below says, clinic work is not easier
I work for a large multispecialty clinic, general surgery - transcribe rotator cuff surgery, hernia or breast reconstruction; urology - transcribe the urinary system; orthopedic - joints and bones and muscles, ENT issues, cardiologisy and veins, arteries and valves, dermatology, neurology and nervous system.
Dermatology typically an easier or more difficult specialty? Thanks. nm
xxxxxxxx
That always makes it better. I do local to Houston and since I live there, it seems easier
nm
I do my daily or every couple days after my shift. Much easier (nm)
x
issues talk to lawyer. This is easier than starving?
x
I started out in radiology. It's so much easier than acute care.
Never figured out why they separate it from the rest since it's just another specialty. If you can do acute care, you can do radiology, so might as well give it a whirl! Gotta be better than Softscript.
Much easier and better process of doig this, as I worked at a hospital on ExText nm

IMO, it's just easier to be rude hiding behind the guise of a screen name. The hateful ones here
It's likely that the hostile MTs that constantly spew negative remarks are the same ones who are too passive to speak up for themselves in the real world. They are basically cowards that take crap all day then come here and anonymously take their pinned up frustrations out on everyone else.

I have seen this on many message boards, but for whatever reason, MT Stars is the absolute worst for this. Isolation must be a huge factor. Some of these gals just need to get out once in a while. JMO
Better be glad you got the easier dictators soon, because you're time is coming for the ^^^REAL^^

dictators!  Be glad you got off now.  I wondered where my better dictators went the last week or so !!!!!  Lucky you !!!!!


I can always tell when the TT favorite MT's are off, because I get their dictators -- making it easier for me to get my line count. Yea !


TT is constantly hiring, so the above scenario is a norm. 


RISS is not a platform. RIS stands for Radiology Information System. The platform sm
would be EXText.
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.
