ExSpeech is not a very good platform to edit on such as DocQscribe. n/m
nm
I'm agreeing here, too. Wasn't a good fit/experience for ME, so I left after 6 wks. nm

You can thank DocQScribe for that. I left because of that software. Others say it's fine for them

DocQscribe platform
Does anyone know of any companies that use the DocQScribe platform?
DocQscribe platform?
Is there a way to find a list of companies that use DocQScribe platforms?
They had a job ad for MTs...they use DocQScribe platform...
nm
?? DocQScribe is a platform....sm
Is that the name of the company?
DocQScribe is a much better editing platform than
Dictatphone EXSpeech, which Transtech uses. You will never make the lines you can make editing on DQS. I don't know if you do editing with the Q or not, but you cannot beat DQS, IMHO. EXSpeech has a lot to be desired. You will also not be able to make the lines you do on DQS, nor is it easy to keep up with your lines.
Also, I must say that we have to do a manual timesheet and email it. No automated timesheet. Don't know if that matters to you or not.
Also DocQscribe is the best platform I've ever used.

I also worked there. Hated DocQScribe & left after tech person toasted my

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!
Precyse has their own proprietary platform, modeled after DocQScribe. nm

I wasn' screaming...I left MQ after 8 years and worked for MDI-MD
for 1 month before I finally went to where I am now. I just asked if anyone else got theirs. I got mine from MQ and now I have to wait for 2 more. It was just a generalized question, not accusatory at all. What a jerk!
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:

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.
Platform and support so bad, I left after few weeks.
x
I left them to go with another company using the same platform and I made tons more..
It has to be in their line counting and they must not pay for spaces, headers, or footers even though they claim to. I did not know the difference until I switched company. I was shocked that I made in 2-3 hours what I struggled to make in 8-10 at Focus.. As far as I am concerned, they are a huge rip-off and on top of that, they have their Indian QA people checking your work, and if it does not meet their standards, you pay is docked. It was quite disturbing to say the least.
Yes, you have to go there to pick up their loaded CPU. Pay wasn't that good, either. nm

Strictly IC, good company, hard accounts, good platform.
Good pay, always on time, no direct deposit though.
Is Transcend a good company with a good platform to work on. They are advertising.

i proofed a few reports from a filapino and i was shocked at the good quality. wasn't expecting

That wasn't my experience there. I wasn't on that kind of all-inclusive acct, either. nm

Those that left on good terms. nm

Those that left on good terms..What?
Why would you mail them anything? What do you mean?
not that I can see. I am like you, any good jobs left?
Curious
You see - all the good people have left OSI
She was super. She was treated very very badly at OSI. We will all be in better shape very soon as long as we can get another job before they are all taken. I think alot of people are leaving Medquist and they are going to be grapping some of the available jobs too. The old saying- Time is of the essence.
Thank you for your support. I know who you are. :)
Along the same lines, has anyone ever left TH and gone back with good results?

Are there any good companies to work for left??? Suggestions?
Looking for a place to call home. I am so tired of all the disorganized, cheap, and discouraging companies out there. I just cannot find a good fit. I work hard.. very hard.. and I would just like a company to be fair back, decent pay, benefits, organized.. etc.. Help...
Hmmm. Good point. I only have a few weeks left,
.
I left the field for good earlier this year
after 15 years. I'm now an ACSM certified personal trainer at Bally Total Fitness, and also have a private client. Thanks to everything I learned as a transcriptionist, I passed the very tough certification exam on the first try.
I'm still networked with my first MD client, and we refer people to each other.
My body also thanks me for not spending hours at the computer anymore. I enjoyed the work, but don't miss it at this point.
There are many ways to use what we know. If your instinct is telling you to do something else, I encourage anyone to at least explore your options.
Yes, if you left on good terms, you can be eligible for rehire. nm

Cbay doesn't sound good. Glad I left
the Q when I did. I really hashed over that decision, but I am so glad I did. There will be a lot of people looking for work very soon. I wouldn't wait around until all the good spots are filled.
I left a month ago, and couldn't be happier! They are the pits! Good luck. nm
nm
may be good now, wait until they Global your account, too. I left there long ago, happy I did. nm

Except for the good platform, the
rest of it sounds just like Transcend. 
What is a good platform? sm
Have you found a better platform that is fast and good for line count?
not a good platform - sm
I found it to be very slow and it took too much time to set up each dictation. Not time efficient at all!!!! You have to fill on all the info yourself, no prefilled headers.
good platform
The platform they use is one of the best out there, IMO after doing meditech, chartscribe, you name it. The pay is so-so as they do a tiered rate. Pay is on time. They used to be flexible on the hours you worked. Full time is 12,500 lines a pay period of half a month.
Just avoid any accounts that Lisa is manager of if you can. Or at least just stay a transcriptionist, do not get sucked into helping on other stuff or then you really get screwed on pay.
Lisa is controlling and plays nasty games with people working under her.
Platform bad but pay is good
I'm making more than ever before in my life on my hassle-ridden platform, so I'll deal with it. The way they made our pay fair for their admitted hassles is they take dictated minutes and multiply those by 13 lines to come up with our line counts. So every dictator with sloppy habits (long pauses, changes their mind constantly, wants to spell the nobrainers, etc.) which would be a money waster on any other account, actually makes me money because I'm getting 13 lines per dictated minute no matter what the dictation consists of. Maybe you can ask if they can implement something similar for your bad platform, to compensate for admittedly wasted time on it, and more people would be willing to work it.
Wow, that does sound like a good platform...
Maybe I should apply with your company. I need an efficient platform with hot keys and easy access. That sounds great!
Is Bytescribe a good platform. nm

Escription is good platform sm
The sound quality is good (on my computer anyway compared to some other platforms I've tried!), the platform is quick between screens, allows you to check past reports and dictator's past reports. I found the later especially helpful when I had challenging dictators saying the same things and could not quite figure it out. When I checked their past reports of the same kind - wallah! -- there it was in print.
Escription can be really good (with good dictators) and a big stinker with poor dictators. I suspect that is the same everywhere. I would jump at the chance to only have about 40% VR.
Good luck to you and God bless.
Platform is user friendly. P ay is good. sm
The accounts are good for experienced MTs.
I can't say I produce more on this particular platform, but it is MT friendly. I average approximately 300 lines an hour. That is not my best, as I have done 400 lines an hour on a different platform. It all depends on the dictators.
Good luck to you. If you need flexibility, a decent line rate and don't mind being SE without benefits - go for it.
I prefer SE or IC status, so it suits me just fine.
MDI-FL - is the internet platform/MS word a good
platform. I understand they have about 4 different platforms. I would be interested in the proprietary internet platform that uses MS Word. Is it user friendly and productive, can you see your line counts immediately, what type of short cut Expander is used, and the type of voice player to download jobs?
Thanks
very easy to learn - good platform
I have worked on a few different platforms and this one works well. Very explicit account specifics as well so it makes it much easier to do your job.
Anyone use the Merit platform with MW? Good, bad, average? nm

I'm curious from your perspective, who has a good platform and why? sm
I see you posting regularly and I'm curious what you think Wbmdx could and should incorporate to make Enterprise better. Thanks.
Opinions on Oracle? Good pay? Platform? THX
Is the platform good? Word-based? Is the new
position still recruiting? Just passed the written and doing the transcription next..
I love the platform and make good $ on it. SM
I do believe it has to do with the accounts though. I've used it for 4 hospitals and have made great money, both VR and straight typing. VR gives me more than double the lines of typing but I do think it is an acquired skill. Learn the shortcuts and use them. It is also only as good as the team training the VR.
On the other hand I've used it on a clinic account and the lines were just not coming in like they do in AC. A very heavy, 90%, ESL verbatim account and I lasted all of 2 weeks on that account.
I'd say I do about 90% VR and 10% straight typing and all in all I'm impressed with the accuracy of the VR.
Doesnt matter how good the platform is without work does it.

Medware, good platform, plenty of work
I have worked for them almost 3 years now, they are a better than average company and pay on time every other Friday. Check them out, you will be happy you did. Kim.
