They have their own proprietary software...
very similar to MS Word. Easy to use. Disregard the person's post about 8.5 cpl for 1400 lpd - should get facts from the recruiter about pay and benefits. If you want to ask any more questions, I would be happy to e-mail you.
I believe Apex is a proprietary software used only by
Transolutions. Unless there is some other platform by the name of Apex 
Is it proprietary software you guys are using or a "name brand," like ChartScript, etc.? nm

Contact from 1/07 said their proprietary software was clunky&slow, and that running out of

Anyone know anything about Transform? Is this company good to work for?
Curious
RE: I've been with Transform for 2 months and so far, so good. Nice people to work with, (sm)
pay is on time, direct deposit, etc.
Their software isn't supposed to be that good. Does anyone know what it is? nm

Company with good software
 I just had training for my new job. I am very excited because the software is as good as I thought it was going to be. You don't have a to use a mouse!! You can use it, but there are control functions for everything, which is how I like it.
I don't really need the ShortHand program I ordered because there is a very good shortcut program with it, but I don't know if my shortcuts for ShortHand will load onto it or not. So I don't know if I'm going to try to use ShortHand or what, but I just want people to know there are still companies that use good, quick software that doesn't rely on the mouse. It's my dream come true. They also provided QLDB & Stedman's Medical Dictionary CDs. My last in-house radiology job didn't even have a medical spellchecker. Oy.
MedSoft software .. good or bad?
I'm considering applying to a company that says they use a software called MedSoft..was wondering if anyone has any good or bad experience with this..ease of getting lines? MT friendly? etc.. thanks
Seem very unorganized - no tech help - software not very good

Good account, clunky software
Umph!!! I found a job with great accounts, but their software is clunky, hard to manuever, and hard to make line count with. Several times a day, I have to log out and log back in because the software freezes up. No one in the tech department can do anything or unwilling to do anything. I love this account, but it is virtually impossible to make any money. I asked the tech department to at least work with me and my own macros and they never did. They just told me I could not use my own macros without even trying to convert my IT. Have anyone else had good accounts with clear dictators, but have the worst software program to work in. What on earth am I going to do now!!!!!
Is this a good rate for using Dictaphone Speech software?
They offered me 50% per line of what I was currently making back a number of months ago. Not worth it.
Not a good company. Their pay is low and software hard to work with sm
although now they say DocQScribe which means they have picked up MQ accounts like other companies. I would stay away.
Pay 8 cpl, use MTWorld software, sound quality supposedly not good. nm
v
Anybody know of any good line counting software that is free to download?
TIA
1100 lpd for FT, good sound quality, ExText software, LOTs of ESLs..nm

Shhh.....don't think anyone else does. Probably proprietary. nm

Platforms are proprietary...
...and based on account. To my knowledge, there are three, distinguished by version number: 3.5, 3.8, and 4.0. This has come about through Spheris acquiring other transcription companies and assimilating their proprietary platforms.
I work on TWS 3.8. It's not bad, but it could be better. The Expanders are crude and it takes some time to build up a good collection of them. It won't correct for capitalization, i.e., changing the first letter of the first word of a sentence to upper-case a LA MS Word and other typical office word processing programs. It can be a bit crashy at times. Still, many people do very well with it, and I can't fault the training provided--though keep in mind, I was trained three years ago. There may have been changes since then.
Hope that helps.
They use their own proprietary platform that
works with your version of Word. It uses express scribe.
Company's proprietary platform (sm)
I make normals out of everything. I consistently do 300 to 450 lph now that we can speed up the dictation.
Their platform is proprietary and you can use Shorthand...sm
with it, or ShortCut. Those 2 I know for sure are compatible. I really like the platform - it's called ChartMatrix. It keeps a running total of your lines as you type, so you know right where your production is at any given time. They pay for headers, footers and spaces which is great.
Come and join us! 
Apex is proprietary thought sm
How were you on it at another company?
SINCE WHEN IS EXPLOITATION OF WORKERS PROPRIETARY?..sm
Precyse has their own proprietary platform, modeled after DocQScribe. nm

Sorry - this should be TRANSFORM. nm

Transform
Has anyone heard of Transform?? www.transformmt.com
I just got the test, and I was wondering if anyone working for them or knowing anything about them could put their 2 cents in?? Thanks ahead of time.
Transform
Has anyone who thought they did extremely well on their testing, been turned down for a job with this company? I've got 12+ years of experience and I thought I did extremely well on their testing, and was notified that I was turned down for not meeting their qualifications. First time that has ever happened, so was just wondering if anyone else has had this happen to them. Their standards must be set extremely high.
Name is Transform
It is in Billings Montana and a great company. They are hiring right now. Good luck.
Transform
Anyone have any experience with this company? Are they flexible with shifts (maybe offer a 12-hour window)? Pay? Benefits? Ease in getting lines? Do they assign dictators so an MT can get used to their voices and phrases, etc.?
Thanks in advance for any info. Am trying to decide whether to apply and don't want to waste anyone's time.
transform
Yes, what do what to do know about transform?
Transform
Wondering about flexibility, benefits, ESLs, pay, etc. Thanks for any info. you might have. Are you working for them now?
transform
First let me say this was my experience: I do not work with them currently.
Positives: Pay was on time, plenty of work, benefits, direct deposit, the pay was average, I was making 8/line with an orthopedic account.
Negatives: My boss did not respond to my questions, the platform was very slow (but they to act like its your computer. I have road runner cable connection and have never had a problem with any system, except theirs). I worked 10 to 11 hours just to meet my line count (and I am an above average typist, right now I average 1800 lines a day). I worked on their orthopedic account and I have about 7 years of experience in orthopedics, they did not have a interface for their patients, so we had to print out the doctor's patient list everyday to get their information (social #, patient ID #, date exam, etc) to put into the system, so I spent a lot of time doing research and shuffling through the different schedules. Also they did not pay for header information, which we put in. When my boss did answer me it was in a very condenscending tone. Also I only got about an hour of traning on their system.
I stayed with for about a month and gave them a 2-week's notice. Maybe they have changed. This was in October, 2005 when I worked with them.
Good luck. PS I now work with a company that I am 98% happy with, hopefully you will find a good match for you.
transform
Wow! 98% happy with?! That's wonderful! I'm looking to make some changes, but didn't want to waste my time with Transform like I've wasted my time with these other places. I have about 15 years experience. Another option was WordZXpressed out of Georgia. I've already tried OSi out of Georgia and their platform was too slow also and the pay was low, plus they claimed I was typing clinic and paid clinic rate, but it was actually hospital because I looked it up and it said x beds, etc..... Anway, thanks for the info. Oh, who do you work for now that is so good? I won't apply if there are no openings, but was just curious about such a good company! Thanks again......
transform
I'm thinking of applying with them. They sent me the testing info. e-mail, but I sure didn't want to job-hop so am just trying to research before I apply. Do you think they pay decent? Flexible schedule? ESLs?
transform
Web site is transformMT.com. I got a response e-mail from them, but haven't tested yet. They want to test my computer too and I'm a little hesitant about that if I don't know that much about them yet. I would like to know about what they pay and how flexible they are and how much ESL work is expected and all that stuff. Let me know if you find out anything and I'll do the same!
transform
I think I did hear somewhere that they had a new platform, but haven't talked to them directly yet. In your experience, did they have a lot of ESLs? What about the schedule? Was yours a strict 8-5 type thing? Weekends required? Thanks.
? transform
Thanks so much. I appreciate the encouragement. I've been a little afraid I might be getting into a job-hopping situation and wanted to avoid that. How is the platform? Many ESL's?
transform
Wow, that is wonderful news! She just called me back and offered me the job! I just need to give notice at my present job. She said she would work with me on how I wanted to be hired - PT temporarily until my notice with this company is up or IC temporarily or FT empl. right away. FT empl. is what I want because of the benefits, but I can't do FT at both places! BTW, what does sm stand for? I thought it was initials, but I've seen it on lots and lots of posts. Just curious! Thanks again, and I think I'm really going to enjoy working with you! Debbie
transform
Pay is norm - 8 cpl for 65 cpl w/spaces. Touchtype and Webtop platform leaves a lot to be desired - too many demos to enter. Their Vscript platform is supposed to be better, so I've heard. People are nice, pay is on time, plenty of work, flexibile schedule. They are in Florida and Wyoming.
Transform
Does this company pay well? Are lines easily achievable on their platform? Any info on the percentage of ESLs on their accounts or does this vary? Thanks.
Transform
Can you tell me what office you work for. I am under the impression they are kind of like a franchise with multiple offices, not sure if that is correct or not though. Thanks.
Transform
The Transform that I work for is in Wyoming or Montana. As far as I know there is only this one company.
Transform
Thanks for the replies. I did look up their web page and it says they operate in 28 states. Not sure how to interpret that since it could be they have clients in 28 states, not necessarily 28 offices. A friend works, I think, out of a Transform office in St. Louis though and is also happy with her situation.
Transform
Transform MT? Anyone have info on them or know where I can find some?
a bit about Transform
They are a small company in Cody, Wyoming. THey have many accounts all over the U.S. .. clinic and hospital. Their platform for work is their own, WORD based. Most all of their accounts are payed on a tierd scale... so much for the first 3000 lines, a bit more for the next 3000 lines and then a bit higher rate for lines over 6000.
TRANSFORM
I worked for them, and Bard (owner) and Lisa P were wonderful. I had to go through a bad divorce and just could not focus, so I left and just did not go back, but they were awesome.
Okay, what about Transform? sm
Pay scale (ballpark), platform, flexibility?
transform
transform in Wyoming uses vscript..
After working on many platforms since leaving transform. vscript is HEAVEN
Transform
I've been with Transform for close to three years now.
I do both MT and QA as primary on a major hospital account and have been cross trained on several other accounts for extra coverage as needed, but I rarely get pulled off my primary.
I honestly have nothing bad to say about this company. My coworkers are pleasant, my supervisor is accessible and friendly, HR always responds to questions quickly, the pay is competitive and always on time, and I have found them to be very flexible and accommodating any time I have had an illness and/or need to change my schedule or be accommodated in any way.
Overall, I am very happy here and have no plans to leave anytime soon.
