Escription/Focus

I work for Focus part-time and they treat me just fine. I appreciate them because I started as a newbie almost one year ago to this day and they showed me the ropes with excellent training and gave me a chance, which was very hard to come by with other companies. I love VR and using Escription, but if you are a super productive typist you may not prefer VR at all. In the beginning Focus would sometimes run out of work so I had to look for full-time employment. Now I am trained on a clinic and an acute care account and I barely have time to keep up with all the work there is available for me! I wish it had been that way when I first started, but I plan to stay with them and work when I can. I have read all the negative posts about them, but I have only had a positive experience.

Focus QA who use Escription
On reports where you are only filling in blanks (not 100% QA) how are you paid? This is regarding on the escription platform only. TIA
Focus /escription
Focus and escription are not the same company. Escription is a software/transcription platform. Focus is a transcription company that gets accounts that are on the eScription platform. Focus and eScription are two entirely different accounts. I think that Focus is trying to say that they need MTs for accounts on the eScription platform.
Also, my experience with this company was not a good one at all. Offshore people QA your work and their communication is greatly lacking.

Focus Infomatics Escription LPH
I am wondering if there is anyone who works for Focus Infomatics and uses the escription platform? If so, can you tell me how many lines per hour you average? I have heard a lot of MTs who make 500 and 600 lph using the escription platform. But then I have also heard a lot of MTs complain that they do not make much money working for Focus Infomatics.
Focus/Escription...should I bother?
Escription is my favorite platform and I am looking to make a change. I am considering Focus. I read previously that Escription MTs were running out of work often. Is this still the case?
Focus/eScription information
See Not Enough MTs below. Focus and eScription are the same company.
Anybody here on escription/editscript with Focus Infomatics?
Are you paid for all lines on this platform? Is it pretty easy to make good money?
With Nuance buying Focus, what will happen to the eScription accounts? sm
I really don't think eScription is going to like the fact that Dictaphone/Nuance is going to be working on their platform and learning their secrets to their software.........do you?
This is so interesting to me as I am an eScription editor. Maybe it is time I start my own business again and contact all of the eScription hospital accounts or contact eScription and get their input on this.
In reading Nuance's press release, Bringham Women's Hospital is an eScription account not a dictaphone account. Very interesting......Don't you think? Would love to hear opinions on this.
Honestly, I gained my first experience with Escription working for Focus. It was my first online job
So I stayed long enough to get comfortable and then moved on. It was a weird experience working with supervisors in India and the lack of communication but I never intended on staying. I bit the bullet, got my experience and left.
Just be aware that not all Escription accounts pay the same. I worked for one company on Escription
struggling to maybe make $50 in 8-10 hours. I didnt know the difference as that was my first job on that platform and I just thought it was not a money maker. Then, I switched companies. I average $20-30 an hour and once I made $50 in an hour. I tried yet another company and I was lucky to make $9 an hour. The bottom line is that not all companies are alike, even though they use the Escription platform. What I have found is that goes according to how they set it up i.e. paying for footers, headers, spaces etc. Just dont be shocked if you dont make what you think you will. The companies know how to set it to where it benefits them and not you. As is the norm, not all companies are created equal out there regardless if they all use the same platform. That is what I am getting out.. Good luck.
Focus, focus, focus on your work. It's amazing what you can do! nm

I've heard that DaVenture Health Partners was recently made an approved vendor, but as of today they are not posted on the eScription website yet.
Escription????
Has anyone out there worked on Escription? If so, what are your thoughts. Can you make any money at it since it pays so much less?
Escription
Does anyone know of any companies that use Escription, OTHER than Transcend and MDI-FL? Thanks in advance.

ESCRIPTION
Anyone working on escription, could you give me some advice on increasing my productivity. Sometimes, I do okay and then other days it is so slow going.
Any MDI MTs doing eScription
If you are employee as above, please tell me how things are there - is it a good place to work?
Any MDI MTs doing eScription
That says a lot. Thanks.
MDI-FL ad for escription MTs?
Anyone work there that can give me more details? What's the pay for editing there, dictators, atmosphere, etc? Also what about the radiology ad? Do they pay by report or by line? Thanks for any help.
Escription
Do any of you use this platform? Do you like it? Is is productive? Can you give a time frame for the learning curve? Any replys greatly appreciated.......thanks.
eScription
EditScript is Word based. It's very easy to learn. Works with Word AutoCorrect to save your shortchuts, etc. Very reliable from a technical point of view. Our facility just went live about 98 days ago, all 22 MTs are loving it. Most have already increased their productivity from our old ChartScript days. Does a really good job with speech recognition even with some horrible dictators - consistency among the MTs is key to that success.
Very nice platform, very MT friendly !
Escription
That sounds great. I appreciate you letting me know that.......I needed to hear something positive.
Escription
I used to work where they had escription but was paid hourly at that point because we had just gotten it. Sorry no help. Good luck!
What is escription? nm

Their pay is low for escription, which is
probably why they are always running an ad.
Escription
USUALLY, not always, the doctor puts in the MR number which automatically pulls in the patient name. Some companies have you do a type of search using that number to pull in the DOS, DOB, location, referring doc all at once.
Pay escription
I'm a little confused by the pay. It sounds like they convert edited lines into a percentage of typed lines so you aren't getting paid a per line for editing. I think.
escription
What company pays the best for escription????? You can get through the reports fast but cannot seem to make the money as well as I can typing! I like the fact the hands get a break but come on!
Escription
it's okay after you get used to it - haven't come close to the 600 lines per hour that you are supposed to do - and pay for editing is less than half of transcription line pay - but you definitely do not have to type as much - less stress on your hands and wrists.
escription
It is not difficult to learn but I found it to be slower than regular old typing.
eScription
Can anyone tell me which companies use eScription?
Thanks
eScription.
I've used it in clinical and hospital settings.
I only do eScription.
I only work on the eScription platform right now. I've never used Emdat/Inscribe.

I amm a radiology Transcriptionist and I would like to learn eScripition editing. Do you know of any companies that offer training on eScription?
eScription
Go to MT Daily. They just placed an ad looking for eScription MTs. They might be looking for editors. Also, try Lee Perfect. They are always hiring.
eScription
I have never used it, but if you say it's only editing then you are probably correct. I just saw it posted on MT Daily today.
I Like eScription
I've used eScription, and I really like it. The people at the company are great.
Well, I'm on eScription.
And frankly I've been using it so long, I can't remember what all it comes with. I have stedman's on my PC and I know EditScript has some of it's own spellcheck things in there. If you contact whomever your supervisor is, they can let you know. :-)
Escription...
an hour can you edit? Is 700 an hour really possible?? TIA
eScription
I was hired with no experience in eScription. It was not a problem to learn at all- a couple of days to get used to it. I love the company I am working for now.
eScription
I will be working eScription. UMass.

eScription Pay
I haven't noticed any changes in the way that lines are counted with eScription. Who do you work for? Maybe they've made some changes.
Also, I get 3.9 cents per line for editing (8 for typing), and I am a very happy camper. I think that eScription works very well. It isn't perfect, but it usually does a pretty good job.
I'm on 5 escription there.
I had work maybe 3 days a week for the last month.
escription
Have heard so many great things about this, is it really that good, what about 85% VR?
escription
Escription is so much better than DocQscribe. It picks up medical terms and meds more easily. You do not have to put in skip or redundant markers, which I thought took a lot of time.
eScription is the best!
Great product.
We just switched to Version 8. It's amazing. Even faster than their last version.
