I agree. Version 8 is a nightmare. Love version 6. nm

Did it tell you to save everything to disk before running the update?
If so, that was it...and it takes a while, almost an hour I heard
Yours...They send you a disk to load their softeware. Nmsg.

Focus bought by Nuance/Dictaphone, DRC bought by Acusis. nm

There must be more than one version. sm
The platform I've used at a couple different companies is very easy to use. One place I worked the database very seamless integrated with what was called Meditech word processor. Another company used the exact same thing except it actually integrated with MS Word.
I think Meditech Magic and Meditech Client may be two different things and I'm not entirely sure which one I've been using that I like so well, but I think it may be Client.
At any rate, the line count on it is really screwy...but that could be something that is set by the facility/program administrator.
They use version 6. nm

It's probably version 7.5.3.4.1 - every new version
And no, you won't find anyone to ask. On a weekend? Unheard of.
Yes, it is loaded with their version of DQS. nm

You'll have to ask KS which version of
Meditech it is. Every account is different. I have used Meditech Magic. I used it for years and so I like it and can be productive. There are other platforms that are much faster, but its all in what you get used to. I've heard that the latest version of Meditech is much faster than magic.
They were updated to a new version.

Does the version of Meditech
you will be using have an expander? The Meditech I work in does not, therefore I have to use InstantText or ShortHand for an expander.
I think MQ and DSG use the same version but this company I am with now does not. nm
:
here's the short version
I've been using it fairly steadily since November 2004. I've got DNS Medical version 9.5 with a really good microphone. Plus, I've put the time and effort into training the program. My typing speed has dropped over the years (maybe 70 wpm now) and I don't have the a particularly good memory as far as abbreviations go, so DNS is ideal for me. --- I lucked out 'cause I was able to upgrade to version 7 for about $99, and then the subsequent upgrades were not much more. The program works just fine for me, so I have no need to upgrade further.
If you want to want more in-depth information, email me and we'll chat. I just don't want to floor the board with things.
For all we know, it's a "dummied-down" version of the test...
Regardless, it seems to me to be a slap in the face to American CMTs.
The last InstantText I used was a very early version, so SM
I can't speak to that any more, but just wanted to stay that ShortHand is excellent and I also love it. But it is a very sophisticated program with a whole bunch of bells and whistles that you can use or not use as you choose.
KS/Meditech - PCshorthand version (sm)
Could someone at KS tell me if Meditech works with the NEW (10?) version of PCShorthand or should we download the last version out? (I have windows XP). Thanks for your help!
What version of Meditech does KS use? I've
read that the old Meditech version is horrible, but that Meditech Magic is much better. I think there is also a Pro version too.
Precyse uses it's own program that's a version of
working in Word. Easiest thing I have ever worked on.
I am talking about the Medical version - sm
the regular is a lot cheaper.
Download the latest version of
Adobe Reader 9.1, it's free.
If the questionnaire you have to fill out, is given by the company, ask them what's wrong.
It's the 3rd-person version of MYOB -nm
an upgrade? mean newer version?
This should not be an end of the year thingee seems to me. I would ask what exactly an upgrade means. No reason not to ask for the facts. Does it mean an upgraded version of MedRite or upgrade to a newer type platform or just what does it mean.
The new version you can access line count.
Maybe you do not have good tech support or no one has shown you.
I like the account. The new version of the Dictaphone software was a little
glitchy at first but that seems to be getting worked out. My line count for the last couple of weeks has been getting much better and I find that I am able to get my lines fairly easily. All in all, I am glad I moved to this account.
I like Meditech. I am on the Magic version. I use an expander and sm
average 250 LPH, which is good for these tired old fingers.
You can download a free trial version of (sm)
Slycount. I have used it for a long time and find that it is very accurate.
Cool! I just dowloaded the trial version, and it's

Another Sennheiser vote. I have the sport version.

That a VR version? ''Klaatu barada nikto!!''
Make sure that it is the Word version not the old blue screen. nm

I last used it the second week of January. Maybe your company's version was better than the compa
?
Well the one company uses an older version of DQS and has not upgraded to the last 1 or 2 upgrades.
That is my concern. I am not sure where to look at the version I am on for the company with the lower version to see what it is. I hope this works out okay.
Version 8 stinks. I would not do purchase anything to work for a company.
don't do it, unless they are paying you 12 cpl to edit the VR.
Tell them you can not afford it with the line rate they pay...he he!
Happy New Year!!
The ExText will be interfaced with your own Word version unless the company installed something
s
my guess the account pays an inflated version, we get the deflated end
eh?
I use Meditech with them, but it is Client Server version. Not the old blue screen! sm
I actually like the program and I really like ShortHand but I converted my abbreviations from another program into there so I did not have to start over.
Well, Merriam-Webster doesn't recognize your version. Only found it in an urban sm
dictationary -- hardly a professional reference. But it has gotten too much attention already, so maybe if we ignore it, it will slither back into its obscure little corner of the world where no one notices it.
What I just bought
Go to stedmans.com and get the AAMT Book of Style and also the Stedman's Spellchecker CD-ROM. They will bill you for these, and you will be happy that you bought them! You will also love working at home if you can pace yourself and refuse to be distracted, especially with the price of gasoline as it is.
Is all of this because when MQ bought YOG SM
they continued to pay the MT's what they were receiving at YOG, which was more than MT's at MQ made? Now everyone will be making the same amount or less?
I don't work for MQ, so I don't know, this is just what I gathered talking to friends.
They were bought out by MQ. NM

This is the co that was bought by the guy from ddi
that left when MQ bought them
Well, I bought one
and got the reimbursement. I work at home, but I still drive.
Bought it new. It is an HP.
I was with the co they bought and we had sm
a nice situation. Here comes the CEO promising us we were going to know every day how much we're valued, how important we are. Not so. For the first 6 months it was okay, hard to get used to all the management we suddenly had, but then things started going downhill. Then the push with the VR. Seems to me that most of our work is going to be VR work and they're probably aware they pay more than the other companies - so it will not surprise me at all if they take that away now.
I hate these town hall calls, They never contain anything good for the people who are doing the grunt work.
HS bought out by Spheris
I was working for Healthscribe when Spheris bought them out; I have to say that I have had nothing but a positive experience with them thus far. We don't seem to be micromanaged; quite the contrary. I can get up and walk around to stretch my legs and at times am gone for 20 minutes or so and no one calls me or e-mails me. Communication is wonderful from my supervisor on up to management. The only downside is that they are so short-staffed that there is mandatory overtime for the radiology accounts so if you want to make $$$, this would be the place to go. Hope this is helpful.
I believe Transcend bought MDI?

Duh, they bought Heartland...

When we bought our van last year,
But the cost was $10,000 higher than the Toyota. We're not talking a small amount here - $10,000 difference (more if we would have added the extras to the Dodge, that were standard on the Toyota). As soon as the prices of the American cars start coming down, people will buy them. Right now - it's more expensive to buy American, with worse quality and no standard features - everything is extra. Very disappointing and COSTLY.
Keystrokes BOUGHT an...
According to my dictionary transcriber is a person. It only takes a second to look it up.
Do you think that MDI is the same since they were bought by Transcend? sm
I have thought of going back (left a few years ago and took a few years off after having twins nine months after another baby) but I am worried about that. I have a friend who works there and she is complaining a lot, but she tends to be a complainer so I am not sure what to do.
I also was on clinic notes and prefer radiology. Maybe they are doing more rad. I do remember seeing that they were paying a sign-on bonus.
I am just looking for some answers before I make the wrong move.
SPI bought CyMed....US MTs look out....
They will tell you not to worry.....all the while transitioning your job to an MT in India or Manila. Get out while you can!
