In Reply to: SoftScript question regarding MT platform - mtt

Yes, SPi does use this platform....it's a great platform, but not worth working for SPi. nm

That''s great and I've heard they pay great as well.
I just have heard a lot of adjectives for a few accounts - zinger, killer, impossible, etc., and I sure know I couldn't hack it there. But I'm sure they know what they are getting into when they sign up. 
I sure didn't find that to be true - sm
My acct is about 10% ESL, my secondary is about 25% ESL. I know that your line rate is based on the difficulty (ESL) level of the account. Miss Willy might have had a poor experience, but the other 550 MTs working there (some for many years) are not so bad.
Ah, I see. No, I didn't find anything very recent...
but with that kind of track record over that many years, I can't imagine it would be a safe bet in any circumstance, unless a major total rehaul somehow, which seems doubtful.
Good luck.
i didn't find the communication to be good
well, it was as long as i said everything was rosey. Soon as things weren't so perfect, they became much less than friendly.
Thanks. I did search the archives, but didn't find the answers (SM)
to my specific questions. That is why I posted.
I've decided to find a new job.
However, everyone seems to want fulltime or Tu-Sa/Su-Th or C-phone. Is anyone hiring for parttime day shift any more? I dream of a steady workload, decent platform, honest company, direct deposit, consistent QA, DSL instead of dial-in or dial-up, no need to rent their computer. Is there such a company out there?
All I know is, when you find a great place, let me know,
I WANNA LEAVE THE Q ALSO, JUST TOO AFRAID.  I think they made me crazy....
great. well i'd like to find another company.
i've lost my main account, on a seriously crappy account with a supervisor who has a large stick up her butt. I can't make any money here and I'm about ready to just quit and do something else.
I'm surprised the main office didn't find a bunch of
What a totally assinine 'gift'. I'll bet the globe was made in India, too.
Trying to find company(ies) using the BayScribe transcription platform?
Good MT hard to find & 1 familiar with platform is

Do they still use Web-Correct? I didn't mind the platform but

TransTech is a great company. I don't find that they have any more ESL's than any other
company. The pay is good (not great, not bad), the benefits are affordable. For me, the best thing is that I feel I am treated with respect. They are great people who care about us. Overall, this is the best jobs I have had in years. I would highly recommend them.
I actually think DQS is a great platform, used by
Can't remember the third one. I have worked on several different platforms and I think DQS is really easy once you get the hang of it, convenient with the ability to pull doctor's names into the report from the database, the ability to leave blanks and at the end let the audio jump immediately back to where the blanks are. Other great features, too.
Platform is great, but (sm)
do read the contract carefully and know exactly what you'll be paid for when you *negotiate* your pay rate.
They have a great platform, but
line rates are not that great, so the below poster is right, negotiate for the best line rate you can get. It takes longer to get your lines in when you are not paid for spaces, but if you can use your Expander a lot, that will help. I am happy at Cymed.
It is a great platform.
Is a great platform. SM
Where ever you heard this from is wrong. Line counts are accurate.
Great platform
Take the time and learn every little trick and tip, when you go into your line count screen (alt x) you can just click on the shortcuts you are not using enough to make you more productive and it gives you a great tutorial on how to implement them, it took me a few weeks but then it all became natural and I'm doing an average of 600-800 lph depending on the dictators.
My platform is so great can just
sit here and let the pedal go, like taking candy from a baby, unbelievably easy. I make 98-99% every 3 months on QA so I guess mine is just as good if not better than most here. Management not complaining at all.
Way too many trying to find something to supplement my wonderful PT local that I've been with for

I've been trying to find a company with steady work

I think we must work for the same company. I find it always interesting how they say how great
the workload looks and people are really working hard when the fact is they have overhired and that is why there is no work. Must be DSG right. They are hiring right now. Cant imagine what they are hiring for. Hopefully not the acounts that are already out of work all the time. I wonder what kind of turnover rate they have there.
I agree, best platform I've been on...
Great search capabilities for patient name, prior reports, specific doc reports, etc. Easy to move around in -- just the cream of the crop in my platform experience.
Also DocQscribe is the best platform I've ever used.

What speech/editing platform do you find the most profitable (money-wise for the MT, of course)?
What company uses it, please. Detest Dictaphone Exspeech. DQS was very user friendly. Any others?
Wouldn't that be great if everyone they didn't pay reapplied there!
please tell us where you saw job posting.
Platform great...promises not met
I disagree..The platform EXText is great and I do it for another company now. However, promises were not met as I referred 2 MTs to Medware and did not receive referral money promised by the recruiter. Also, too many accounts to have to switch from one to another because there is never enough work, as I stated in my last post. I would not recommend MedWare. Good luck to you in your search. :)
Yes, six files is ridiculous. I think we've all done ..four hours of testing to find out
we're offered a whopping 7 cpl. Why waste our time. I'm not a genius but I can tell you in three files or less whether someone knows what they are doing. I've seen graduates from MT programs that have blown my mind with their no concept of punctuation or just English at all. That definitely shows up in less than six files. Let us test and move along to the next disappointing test that will come back with a joke of an offer. Gotta love it!!! 
I didn't care for Ascend's platform...very time consuming
and no paid training
I find the lines don't accumulate as quickly, but the atmosphere is GREAT. nm
I've said which companies I'd recommend and didn't get flamed.

Great people..AWFUL platform!!!nm

They use Dictaphone ExText. It's a really great platform.

You know MQ has a great platform. How does KS compare for ease? nm
Great platform, horrible company

The current Emdat platform is great
and nothing like the previous poster wrote about. It is up to each client how much or how little information is plugged into the demographics and how much must be manually entered. The ONLY things I have to enter for three clients are: Patient name (if not only entered, say for a future admission), MR# if not provided, doctor name, chose the right template for the work type, and any CCs to send. None of those functions require the convulted hoops mentioned elsewhere.
I am making more money with Emdat than I do using Bayscribe, and I use the same ShortHand dictionaries with both. I would recommend Emdat to anyone interested.
I've been following your story because I find it disgusting the these MTSOs stiff people
and get away with it. I find it awesome that you had the courage to stand up to her and send this notice to the hospital. Why shouldn't they know what liars and thieves they contract to. A lot of business out there that subcontract, especially hospitals, are even running background checks so they know how they are dealing with. I'd file a complaint with BBB, Department of Labor..anywhere I could to get her bad name out there and hopefully if she does try to solicit more business she won't be able to. Again, I applaud you!!!! Good work!!!!
I've had a great experience
so far in my year with Cymed (Spi-BSO). Apparently, some disagree, and while I did have an initial experience with a somewhat cranky supervisor who eventually left, admitting burnout, my experiences since then with new supervisors have been great. They always have work, they leave me alone and let me do my work; I do have a set schedule, but if I need to vary from it slightly, it's no big deal as long as the work stays caught up. I'm sure if you mention your situation, they'll work with you. They only hire actual employees, no ICs. They only hire management from MTs (i.e., have been there and know what it's like), have been around for 20+ years, and even the work itself is good--a few mumblers, but at least 80% of the dictators, if not more, are surprisingly clear-spoken. Check 'em out.

Honestly, I've been hired by companies that didn't test me.
I did not like those jobs one bit. You start out immediately being stressed because they're out of TAT and desperate for people. The work quality was terrible and I mean worse than any other place I've ever worked. With your CMT credential, I don't think you'd have a problem finding a decent job.
2 hrs north of NYC. Maybe they only want local residents?? They've had ads up for years but didn&

I agree. Extext is the platform I've ever worked with. nm

Staff is great-no work and too many platform issues.
nm
Webmedex is a great company but their platform is terrible.
That is the reason I left. Too many screens to enter simple imformation and too slow switching between screens. Platform is such a big part of our production.
Platform is easy to use, and the people are great to work with. sm
I only work there part-time, but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Good luck on whatever you decide.
Yes, had that same problem. Acct was great, but platform sucked.nm
nm
I've had great luck. it is hit or miss as with ANYWHERE..
depends what they are looking for at any given time.
Sponsors, companies know. can see through the padding.
Of those, I've only worked for MDI-MD, and they're GREAT...
Good luck on your decision. Sounds like you have some great opportunities from which to choose. Go with your instincts and I'm sure you'll do fine.
agree, IMEs are great $$, easy reports, miss them, would love to find them
nm
I find the sound quality not so great on some accounts. I guess it depends on what account you get
on.
