I have used DocQScribe for the last six years...how will I like ExText? I liked DQS and haven't seen anything yet to beat it as for ease of use.

Copying expansions from DocQscribe to ExText?
Does anyone know of any way to do this??? I would hate to start from scratch on ExText.
preference poll ~ DocQscribe or Extext

you cannot compare
NY with PA. I just left PA at the end of July to move to the Bay Area, South Bay to be exact. It may be more pricy here, but I feel that I have a better quality of life here versus PA. I lived about 20 minutes from Philly.
YOU MIGHT COMPARE IT TO ... sm
walking in a parade, behind a horse ... and picking up the poop after the horse, but earning HALF of what the horse earns, because, after all, YOU didn't generate the poop, but get to clean it up.
I don't think you can compare a sm
vacation schedule wtih the death of a parent!
I don't know what has happened in this society, but folks don't give a rats rear about other folks. Personally I think it all comes back at you.
Or maybe some people have nothing to compare to, so they
think they're getting a good deal. Some people know nothing except what they have experienced. They don't know there's better out there. Some people allow abuse to continue for years because they think it's "normal". Personally, I've never been disgruntled. I've always scored high on tests and been placed on higher paying accounts. However, I don't put up with B.S. I'm going to warn people about the lousy companies out there, but I also put in a good word for the good ones.
Anyone gone from MQ to Webmedx and how does it compare? (sm)
Was hoping the line counts might be more like MQ was before DocQscribe. Any info appreciated.
How does it compare to ChartScript? nm

MQ and DSG both use DQS - how do the lines compare? (sm)
I know I have seen posts about sound issues with DSG, but MQ has their own little set of issues too. Just wondering if anyone has found they make lines easier with one place or the other, if they perhaps count lines differently one place or the other?
HOW CAN YOU COMPARE BC WITH PREGNANCY - SM
And this is from someone who has been through both - pregnancy and now status post BC x6 years and counting. The big difference is I CHOSE to have the pregnancy - but I DIDN'T choose the BC - it chose me. I don't see how a pregnancy is a disability meriting 4 weeks paid vacation while the rest of us get crap - I was even told I didn't qualify for PTO since I didn't make the required line count.
9cpl and 11 cpl for weekends. Use ExText. My ExText version wasn't compatible with theirs

I am confused. You can't compare the reports....
unless you turn them in to MQ, then see what line count you get from them compared to the line count you received on the old platform, so these reports would have to be 'standards' or whatever you call them...an operation or something that is the same except for 'fill in the blanks'. I would not work to just count the characters in 'Word'. When that is done, the count is accurate. It sounds like some of the old platforms WERE paying for inflated lines or paying lots extra for headers and footers and demo info, which DQS does not. I am not saying DQS is cheating us...technically it is not... but it sounds like the old platforms paid more lucratively. If this does not make any sense, it is because I HAVE NOT YET HAD MY COFFEE!!!!!!!!WAHHHHHHHH !!
Compare per minute with per line (sm)
I work for Scribes/Nightingale and I was told that per minute divided by 10 = per line rate. Any thoughts as to the accuracy of this comparison?
How do you compare this to Sylcount IV Gold. nm

Anyone able to compare Webmedx to Keystrokes? sm
Does anyone have experience with both Webmedx and Keystrokes? Is either better than the other? Looking for part-time position, specifically radiology. Thanks for any info.
Do you have their benefits, and if so, how do they compare to other companies. Thanks

How does the software compare? MQ has great
software. In fact, I have been offered jobs with other companies, but their software is so bad that I have stayed with MQ. Still looking though.
I'll be happy to to compare them for you. (sm)
Webmedx has a very good platform with many transcription-friendly features you will absolutely adore. I would say it's better than DQS now, plus WMX is honest. I have never once felt I was being cheated on lines. I always felt I was with DQS. I left MQ for WMX a couple of years ago. I immediately raised my income more than $600 a month. I have never once regretted my decision. You won't either.
It is hard to just compare wages....sm
Because there are so many other variables involved - like how many characters make up a line? What percentage of the dictators are ESL? Do you get paid for headings and spaces? All of these (and more!) could end up affecting your cpl (cents per line - if you get paid that way). You could end up making more, earning less cpl, if the dictator is really easy to understand and you get paid for spaces, headings, etc. Make sure you check these out!
Anyone switch from MQ to Spheris and how does it compare? (sm)
Was told their program is similar to DQS and that 50-60% of their employees make the bonuses based on number of lines. They weren't exactly breaking the bank with their line rate offer but stated they make it up in bonuses.
There have to be some people who will share their experiences either good or bad and not just post short negative comments. Specifics please. Thanks.
E-mail if you aren't comfortable posting and opening yourself up for bashing.
I had MediTechn experience, looking to compare it
to DocQScribe.
Anyone use Cerner Classic and how does it compare
to Meditech Magic? Better, worse or about the same?
Because I compare the total lines to my paycheck
nm
You know MQ has a great platform. How does KS compare for ease? nm
You can't compare the two - MDI has only statutory employees and contractors
with no benefits. Transcend has full time employees with benefits. I would not believe everything you hear on this board with regard to pay. I make 8 cents per line with MDI, and I am just hoping I wont get a pay cut for benefits
Goodness, they're both awful companies. Why compare them at all?
I wonder how other companies' plans compare at this point in time? sm
Not sure how long you've been with Wbx but this plan seems comparable to what we had previously; however, I know we are all paying more out of pocket - probably for every single plan at every company -in the last 1-2 years.
Dental - I still think it is a good plan but then I haven't needed a root canal.
That's a horribly offensive term. I wouldn't compare some drama
nm
The only company I have ever worked for is Soft Script so I have absolutely nothing to compare sm
it to. I had my own accounts, lost them and so went with the first company to high resistance me! I've been with them a few years now and certainly have had issues but with absolutely nothing to compare it to, I have always assumed this was just par for the course....now after reading all these negative comments about the management and the platform, etc., I am wondering what I'm missing by staying with SS...how much worse is this company than most? Would it be prudent to start interviewing with other companies and if so, which ones are better than SS. I would so appreciate any input....I support myself and believe me if I can find a better company where I could make a bit more money...I would be there yesterday!
DocQScribe
I'm not speaking from experience, but based my acceptance to a RAD account on the condition I would have the platform. Was told most accounts "except 1" are not on that there.
DocQscribe
TRS uses DocQscribe.
DocQscribe
I need to do 145 lph with NO spaces. It is difficult at times.
DocQscribe
Just a hint, go to another company!
They use DocQScribe.
I love DQS but unfortunately not all companies have it. There are other easy ones too but to me DQS is the easiest.
DocQScribe
Accuscribe out of Goose Creek, South Carolina uses DocQScribe. Tbey hire IC MT's and are wonderful to work for.
DocQscribe
I worked on this platform a few years back for a company that has now gone under. The line counts are very very off. I believe there must be a way to make adjustments because my line count gradually dwindled down to nothing. Then I started not getting paid. Between those two things I cut out of there. Have heard the same from others about this platform. Any other opinions out there?
DocQscribe
I have worked on this platform and did not have to fill in anything but a date...guess it depends on the company.
I love DocQscribe...very easy platform.
All I know is that they use DocQScribe. nm

It's LIKE DocQScribe but not the same sm
I have worked for both. I was struck at how similar Precyse's platform looked like DQS, but frankly it is not as good. The spellcheck is awful. Looking up docs in the ADT screen is clunky as well, as are the account specs.
not DocQScribe
I doubt it is DocQScribe slowing you down. It's probably the pressure of the clock.
DocQScribe
Van Belkum, Echo, Precyse, Administrative Assistants, possibly ExecuScribe.
DocQScribe also
Accuscribe in SC

No DSG does not use ASR at least not yet. Yes they use DocQScribe. nm

I don't know about DocQScribe...
in particular, but I can tell you that I have used two other types of software in on the same computer as Bayscribe in the past w/o problems. As long as one was closed while using the other I never had a conflict.
DocQScribe
I was recently hired by DocQScribe but haven't started yet. Is this company a good company to work for?
Thanks for any advice
DocQScribe
I have a few specific questions about DocQScribe, but would also appreciate any additional info, good, bad, otherwise. (I have read past posts but found conflicting info and the posts were not that recent.)
1. Does the ShortHand Expander work on DocQScribe?
2. How easy is the platform to learn?
3. How easy is the platform to navigate around when you are in a report -- and are there a lot of steps to saving, sending, etc?
4. Can you look up prior patient reports?
5. Can you make your own templates?
6. How is the spellchecker?
7. Can a fast typist make good line counts?
8. Is the line count mechanism accurate?
Thanks in advance for this and any other info you can provide.
DocQscribe
I work for MQ and DocQScribe is one of the best things about MQ. I think it is very easy to use. I use ShortHand with it easily. You cannot really go back and look up out charts but that might be just with MQ. I have used a couple of other platforms and found it more user friendly than the other ones. I have found that most of the ADT information is automated, and I only have to read through it, which is par for the course with ADT information.
DocQScribe, SM
I have been using DocQScribe now for about four months and I love it. I think it is very fast, very efficient and very easy to learn. My ShortHand works fine with it, I can make my own templates, never have had any problems with it. And my line count increased right away when I started using it. I can look up past reports but you have to also have access to DocQRoute which some companies will allow and some will not. Just my experience.
Yes, we use DocQScribe... sm
Most of the accounts are on the DocQScribe platform, which is by far my favorite. However, they do have a few accounts on the TSP platform, but when they hire it is usually for the DocQScribe accounts. I personally find I get the best lines on DocQScribe from any platform I have ever used. Also, I like this company; I like my supervisor, I like my teammates, my pay is right and on-time and via direct deposit, and most of the time there is work. Of course there are off periods, i.e. around holidays when things are a little low, but you will find that at any company.
I cannot say whether or not All Type would be a good fit for you, as people are looking for different things from employers. I can say that some of the things I have seen posted on this board about All Type recently, i.e. one post I saw about them cutting pay drastically, are completely untrue. I have NEVER received a pay cut, and I honestly don't know where some people come up with this stuff. They DO offshore, but they only offshore work in the evening that will lose TAT overnight... it's a TAT issue, and ALL of that work is QA'd by an American QA. I know my supervisor personally works very hard to make sure she keeps enough work onshore to keep her MTs busy.
Anyway, I hope this information is helpful to you, but again, it is MY experience with the company, and everyone's experience is different. I would say it is definitely worth a shot though, especially in this economy when we need to make as much as we can make. :D
