into the box, highlight it, hit control C then escape out and paste it (control V) into the document. That way the name is correct as well as the credentials. Hope you find this helpful.

I use Control F or find
I go to top of each page and do Control F and type in name of company or whatever I am searching. Seems to work pretty well and quicker than reading through all the posts!
Only thing I can find is an ....
Aspen Business Counlting firm. They prob do the hiring for some crappy company who knows not to post here. LOL.

One other thing! Seek and Ye Shall Find.
I searched, tried various companies, and when I found the software was a hindrance, I didn't stay, because I knew there was better. Just keep trying until you find your niche.
I am not with KS but find the same thing at many companies. sm
I think it is just a part of transcription that not all platforms are transcription-friendly.

Which is why I only pull up my own
I think they overlook this because they hire MTs with at least 5 years experience (or at least they used to), so they assume we know what we are doing.
I pull up only my own too but sometimes

I HAVE TO PULL MYSELF TOGETHER!
 I had 14 reports from the worst dictator ever, would have made more money working for Burger King! Now, I have the second worse - really! Love it! The new company figured out I can do any dictation - and I get all the crap! I'm going to go running down the street with my underwear over my head, a foot pedal tied to each ankle and a big dictionary stuck up my rear, screaming for mercy!
I seems very fraudulent to me to hire SE's and then pull the rug out
Maybe most of them wouldn't have hired on if they had known this was going to happen. Now they'll either have to go along with the program or start job hunting again. I know I'd be extremely angry if it were me. Having to spend time sending resumes, interviewing and testing realy sucks!

This sounds like the crap they used to pull
They would constantly run out of work - making it impossible to make quota, then would mail out nasty little letters about not making quota and threatening to reduce me to part-time and take away my benefits - when it was THEIR fault in the first place for not having enough work. Finally they lost all of my accounts, a chain of hospitals in Tennessee, so I quit. That has been a few years ago. It used to be horrible working there, and this sounds like the stuff they put me through.
Hey - pull my finger... there's YOUR bonus. ha nm
.APRIL FOOLS! Just kidding - really I don't care what you think. All I did was answer some basic questions, not offer a blooming thing in regards to using me as an MT bonus reference.
If the hospital finds out will they pull the account? nm

Hmmm...well I can pull up a list of all the reports I
and I can click on statistics for each one and see the line count, which coincides with Ctrl I. I can see all the reports I have done. I don't know anything about ichart - never used that.
Their platform made me want to pull my hair out!! (SM)
I found it relied too much on the mouse. This was back in April. I would consider going back if improvements were made to their platform. Has it gotten any better? You can e-mail me if you'd prefer. TIA
Wow, what a horrible time of year for them to pull something like that
I have never even heard of this company before, but after reading these posts, it sounds like they probably won't be around much longer. It kind of sounds like what happened at SPI a few months after I left. I am so sorry for the employees who were laid off, and I hope you find new jobs soon.
Hey, QA, I made another mistake .. pull my post .. LOL
Pardon the html in my post, as I tried to enter smileys ... lol ... there was no way to proofread ~ and I didn't anyway, because it's time for me to get ready for work. I also said not being turned down ~ should have been no not .. LOL .. toodles ~ I'm outta here and not participating anymore. ;o)
At OSi using ExText we can easily pull up other patient reports
I've done that many times if I can't understand a medication name or whatever. I'll pull up the H&P, progress notes, whatever. Really easy to do.
TT DictExt question. Is there a way to pull a doctor's name into text? (sm)
Currently if it is name I don't know how to spell correctly, I hit ControlA and search then type it into document. Just hoping there was another way and thought some of you that have used this longer would know.
TIA
My thots exactly. Why not pull some of the work back from outsourcing
and ask us if we want to learn a new platform rather than telling us to take the day off or telling us to adjust schedules to meet the demand (which there is none since I already do that). There is no work and they continue to send work overseas. They continue to put new people on to help and we have even less work. Management is not concerned about the peons, just their own fat paychecks and fun times in the city.
Don't need to record files. Pull them into Express Scribe (free on line) and play them thru there

Control I
I agree with you regarding ulterior motive. The simple answer is to DEMAND to know up front when working with Ex-Text whether Ctrl I will be used and if not, WHY NOT. If no answer to this or if given some vague answer, DON'T work for them.
Control I
Not being able to use Control I sounds suspicious to me. Dictaphone can set up any line count in Control I. One woman in Florida is paid and charges by every 37 characters and dictaphone has that set up. So anyone stopping you from using Control I has their own motives.
They have control over it

Of course they have control, you don't think they are going to gyp themselves do you.

Did find a Wright Watson Sten-Tel in Austin if their site isn't old. Find 'em with Google. nm

To the OP, this is just a classic example of KS PR control
My facts cannot be wrong, as this is what happened specifically to me. I do not have to stretch the truth whatsoever. The true version is colorful enough. Imagine being hired and thinking you are going to have an unlimited amount of work, quitting your old job, only to find out a week later that not only you, but the other girls on the same account no longer have any work. Sorry, the deal fell through. Certainly not MY fault, but KS's. The thing turned out to be that the account was just an overflow account. Go figure.
As far as the bounced check goes, I don't know what "one of the 8 means", but my checked bounced and I received NO letter from KS's bank. As a matter of fact, I had to email again and again and, yes, again the office to get my money and fees paid. It took quite a while. I have the paperwork right here in my desk. I have proof.
To the KS MT who says I need to get my facts straight, I believe this is once again Lee pretending to be an MT or one of her management team trying to deflect the truth. It is the usual way of KS.
If you do take a job with them, I wish you good luck and I sincerely hope that you do not have the same problems as many of us have had.
Also Control T (indent),
Control X (cut) and Control A (select all).
I need these functions to do my other job. I got around the problem by changing the Control X, T and A commands to function keys on my keyboard. This way, I can do both.
Control and quality
You know, MTs can't have it both ways. On one hand, we seem to want recognition that what we does can impact patient care and thus is very important. On the other hand, we don't want to be held accountable for the errors we make. When a patient's chart has a major error in it, that can impact patient care. And unfortunately sometimes the only way to get people to wake up and pay attention is by penalizing them for those errors and for going so fast they simply are not paying attention. I've never had a deduction for those kind of things so perhaps can't really speak to it, but the way I understand that policy it seems to be quite fair to me.
Question about using Control I. sm
I'm in a similar situation and feel my I Chart line counts are pretty low. Do you mean to use Control I while in the I Chart program or use it while in the ExText program? At least I can verify how many reports and what my line count is in I Chart but the fact remains that I Chart is slow to give results and usually I receive my totals after hours.
Control-I in EXText
is what I use. However, if the MTSO will not allow you to use it, then it will not help you. Control-I in EXText counts the lines immediately. I don't use I-Chart for line counts for that reason right there...too slow!
If they allowed use to use Control-I,
they wouldn't be able to manipulate the line count!!!
They disable Control-I
to be able to control the line count...could be good, could be bad. Depends.
they've got control and it's not going to get any better....
until they get tired of the game or nobody plays anymore.
Why do you think you will be OK with this if you cannot have the self control to diet now? sm
It is failing because the underlying reasons are still there. The basic one is -you will be fat if you eat too much and exercise too little.
No, I am not skinny or naturally thin but I am average weight and have self control to not eat junk food and fast food and triple portions and I exercise. Every day whether I feel like it or not. It is a commitment and having surgery is both a dangerous thing but also a cop out. You want to be there for your children? Great, but what are you showing them? That you can do whatever you want and wave a magic surgery wand and poof! no more need to have self control. That is not a good thing to teach your kids. They need to see good eating habits, good exercise habits and no excuses. Kids are heavier now than ever and if they think that there is a magic surgery at the end, like many parents are teaching by example, why should they try to eat healthy and exercise?
The scariest thing I ever heard is that the children now are the first generation ever that have an estimated life span SHORTER than their parents because of obesity.
What are you showing them by taking the easy way out? Do you make them do homework or make excuses for that? Do they do chores and know what work is or do they get everything handed to them? IT IS THE SAME MESSAGE BUT IN A DIFFERENT MANNER!
They do it to control how much you make.
Once you start making decent money they will put you on some other WT or hospital. It's the way FN operates and has done that for years. The comment below by the MT that does 4 jobs then E-mails for more work is delusional. I'll like to see what she has to say in about 6 months (if she's still there). They also have posted for another new client starting next week. I didn't like the fact that they control my work - I have never come across that except at FN. Glad I'm not there anymore.
That's why they pay 9 cpl they control your work
Sounds like pretty good money but you end up making just as much as 7 cpl because they dish out the work.
Do you not think we have quality control
just because we are on VR? Where are these people getting their ideas from? Are you just assuming that there is not quality there? If you have a good platform and MTers to teach, your job can be a breeze.
And there are some that can't control their mouths. How's the

Anyone have any current info. Any employees out there? Give me the low-down if you can! Thanks a million.

Isn't it that way for all? I'm new at this.
MS in FL has owners who are control freaks and whatever happens
There is one person there (still after 4 years) who would sell you down the river if he thought it would make him look better to the owners but tell you to your face how wonderful you are, unless you have the putzvah to politely debate the issue. Then his boxing gloves come out and the verbal abuse begins. It really is slave labor there. I've been in the office, I've talked with the owners. I know things will never change there unless they start losing clients, but the clients they currently have are so grateful ANYONE will transcribe their reports, they STAY with MS!
And that, my dear, is why nothing changes at MS in FL.
How do you control speed of voice?
I work with editscript also and have the footpedal nightmare. I can get the files over to the express scribe no problem, but cannot control speed. I can fix manually, but the second I touch foot pedal, speed goes back to mouse voice speed. Any suggestions? Would be very helpful. I actually went through the foot pedal nightmare and got the 9pin and even the co. couldn't make it work!!
Not many people have control over their clients!
If you are in an overflow situation, where you have people who work for the hospital and who work for a service - the people in the hospital get the work first.
The options that a company has is to only take full outsource contracts, but sometimes that is not feasible.
It is frustrating for all concerned.
Check under Control R and see if there is a list.
On the accounts I do, there are some, some by dictator name, some are generic. I've only had one MD say, use my normal for the physical exam. Otherwise if I get to use one it's just because I looked for it.
What would the control I show you that you can't see on website? (sm)
And do all companies who use Ex-Text block this function? What does it accomplish?
