What companies use ChartScript and ChartScript.net?
3M = SoftMed = ChartScript = ChartScript.Net
SoftMed was purchased by 3M in 2007. Both products ChartScript and ChartScript.Net are still available. Both have internal text Expanders that work well
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.
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.
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 !!
How does ExText compare with DocQscribe?sm
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.
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
nm
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!
ChartScript
Any opinions on ChartScript platform -- how is it to work on? Am considering job offer. Thanks.
RE: ChartScript
Work with it every day at the hospital that employs me. Great program. Word based, choose admission date/work type from drop-down menu, click on correct information, begin transcribing. Piece of cake.
ChartScript?
Can anyone tell me anything about chartscript? I am wondering if the program is user friendly, etc. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
p.s. Have a good holiday weekend!
CHARTSCRIPT
I was wondering if anyone knows what companies use Chartscript for their platform....I have used it before while working inhouse and liked just wondering.
Thanks!!
ChartScript or ChartScript.net
ChartScript is SoftMed's Word based transcription application, requires an install on your PC. ChartScript is awesome, user friendly, easy to learn. ChartScript.net is SoftMed's browser based application, does not use Word and is awful. Hope that helps.
ChartScript
Worried..the hospital where I work uses ChartScript. I like it pretty well. We use it with WinScribe. Hope this helps.
ChartScript
Yes, ChartScript is great. Works really well.
Chartscript
Anyone know of a company who uses Softmed (Chartscript) as its platform?
ChartScript
I now work for a company called E-mtsonline. They are based out of Coral Gables, Florida and great to work for. They used to be MRC before Medquist bought them out 8-10 years ago. Hope this helps. Also, they have tons of accounts and work. Great benefits and PTO.
ChartScript
All I saw was 65 character lines. It seems to not count whole reports.
ChartScript
Headers, etc. probably are not counted since they don't pay for weekends or holidays either.
Chartscript
Can anyone out there give me a comparison of Chartscript as compared to Meditech, Dictaphone Extext, or DocQScribe in terms of productivity?
I realize this depends on the MT but would really appreciate some input. 
chartscript
Your fingers will get used to the log in process quickly and it will become automatic and no problem. At least it did for me.
ChartScript
I have used ChartScript over five years. It is wonderful to work with. There are built-in Expanders and you can create your own. You can also set up your own normals. It is very user friendly. The demographics are easily entered. You can easily verify your line count. I have not used any other platform so I can't make any comparisons but I love CS.
chartscript
Chartscript was a wonderful platform, too bad the company that has it (SPi) sucks!
Chartscript
I just took on a new account that uses Chartscript. I have never used this platform before. It is a good, stable platform that is easy to use? I have worked mostly in ExText and have never even seen Chartscript before. I just want to be prepared. Thanks!
ChartScript
Looking to work with ChartScript. Anybody?
Chartscript.com sm
Chartscript.com.... the good, the bad, the ugly...? Any information greatly appreciated 
chartscript
In 15 years I've used a boatload of transcription platforms: MTS, MedRite, DoQscibe, Chartnet and now MS Word, but I have never used BayScribe. I detested DoQscribe. ChartNet was a joy to switch to when I switched jobs. I worked with ChartNet for about 18 months (then my employer sent all its work to the Philippines and dumped the US personnel - but that's another story).
I found ChartNet a very user-friendly platform. It is easy to modify expansions, to back them up and restore then from a floppy disk, something no technical person could help me accomplish with DoQscribe. One feature of ChartNet I miss every day is the way I could highlight a term and jump right to Google to look it up. What a timesaver! Also, I was able to look up not only my own past reports, but the work of other MTs, and do it by dictator, so that I could figure out unclear dictation from the way others had interpreted it. Really good system. I think you'll like it.
chartscript
Well, duh! Just realized you were NOT asking about Chartnet but Chartscript. Is my face red! I should be sleeping, not messing around online at this hour. In the words of SNL's Emily Litella: Never Miiiind!
Chartscript
Depends on what acct you're on. Which will you be going on?
chartscript
Does anybody know any companies who use Chartscript? Also, do I have to check with who I am working for as to whether I can use Instant Text with it? I worry it may affect things on their end and don't want to damage anything. TIA.
ChartScript
I believe Diskwriter out of Pittsburgh still uses ChartScript as the UPMC Healthcare System in that area uses it also. Hope this helps. Belinda
