In Reply to: Escription questions...would appreciate any info! - Need info please!
I felt comfortable within a half an hour. The demographics are even easier on the version 8 (newest upgrade) and most of them are filled in for you with very little need to make changes. Once you learn the shortcuts the editing becomes second nature. My suggestion is to practice them one or two at a time until your fingers do them automatically and then move on to adding to your shortcuts and eventually you'll be using them all as second nature as normal typing. I do about 90% editing and 10% typing and I'm happy with that mixture, sometimes more, sometimes less. I make more than double my lines with editing so the decreased pay per line equals more than I do with straight typing. Of course there are days that are the exception and I get a lot more edits than usual and it brings my counts down but on a majority of days I will do about 550-600 lines editing and typing about 220 lines per hour, on a comfortable working hour.

I love it. It is fast, easy to learn and easy to use.
It's easy to learn...
Not sure what kind of advice you're looking for... I don't think you should be freaking out. It's the best platform I've ever used and it's very easy to learn. I'm sure this isn't giving you anything helpful, but not sure what you want to know.
I usually do it the hard way too, but I learn the easy
way in the process usually. We have to remember that computers are only machines - LOL.
Bayscribe is very easy to learn.
The training lasted about 1-1/2 hours, but most of that was installing it. The trainer went over a few functions and the rest is in the manual, which is very easy. I went from DocQScribe to Bayscribe without any problem. Bayscribe doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles, but it works well. Everything is on 1 screen (all the demographics). I have no problem making my counts on it.
Their platform is easy to learn...
Softscript's work interface is three-fold: a proprietary report client which downloads, uploads, and retrieves ADT; an audio player in the background; and MS Word which automatically opens the report for you--all you do in Word is type and save. I don't see why Instant Text wouldn't work; MS Word itself has a similar auto-replace function as well.
The platform is Scribe. EASY to learn and use.
The line count is straight 65 characters with spaces and you can see your count which is important to me.
Today is supposed to be my day off. I needed to do a bunch of errands and catch up and do closets. So far, it's almost 10:30 and I have been on here all morning! I need to scoot!
very easy to learn - good platform
I have worked on a few different platforms and this one works well. Very explicit account specifics as well so it makes it much easier to do your job.
Love Ex-Text - easy to learn

Platform is fairly easy to learn, pay is
low/average, trainers/supervisor are helpful (at least the ones I've dealt with have been), bennies 35+ weeks.
This is Dictaphone's ExText and very easy to learn. Have

Don't know, but similar to typical and very easy to learn. NM

Platform super easy to learn
I had heard horror stories about SoftScript before I accepted the job (realized you can't believe everything and took a chance). I gave them a shot and have been thrilled. The platform is super easy compared to some of the other Nationals I have worked for. Pay is a about 8 cpl, but that seems standard for Nationals. Tons of work.
I would recommend SoftScript to anyone and I have worked for the worst, MQ, Transcend, Medsribe, etc.
easy to learn, but not good for productivity

Medrite is very easy to learn, transcription friendly...nm

Just started it last month. It is nice and easy to learn
as long as you have experience with ExText or ExSpeech....All the things I thought were flukey with ExSpeech have now been corrected in EX Editor. You will enjoy it.
TT has plenty of work. The platform is super easy to learn and
I'm not having any trouble at all making good line counts doing ESL discharge summaries. Super nice people as well.
ChartScript easy to learn/use/good line count?
Please post any experiences you have had with this platform. Also,does Diskriter provide good insurance and have plenty of work?
Is it easy to get required line counts?
Great place - ExText is easy to learn and user friendly. Good pay. Nice, COMPETENT people.

Ditto! Loved them and found them easy right from the start. nm

WordPerfect vs. Word - similar? Is WordPerfect easy to learn? OK with both on one PC? Thanks. nm

Anyone know of a company, easy clinic work, easy Word format, dependable pay? Help!

Platform very easy and quick - easy to get used to. :)

Not the OP, but I want to learn OPs.
I've done a few of them, but not enough to feel proficient on them.
Never too old to learn
I don't think it is old at all. I went back to school when I was 39 to learn MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTION as I had previous secretarial experience for 20 years but wanted to further my career in the medical field and work at home, which I did. My family was all for it. Good Luck! amj
You can learn a lot
from the Andrews medical transcription website. It is an excellent school, and if you enroll you can learn a lot about the business as well as anatomy and physiology, medical terminology, and all the ins and outs of MT.
Well, you learn something new every day.
I live just outside Syracuse, and I don't think I've ever even heard of them or knew they were here. I'd be curious to know more too.
had to learn not how to learn
I have weekend cobwebs
Learn something new everyday.
I was told I was being changed from DEP to DQS when I trained. So then I guess I really don't know what platform I came from. LOL!
there are MANY links there to learn....sm
about the company - the VERY TOP of the page - I almost missed it myself.....but there's all kinds of info, FAQs, and contact page for any questions you might have that the website did NOT answer for you.
Geesh, you can lead a horse to water, you cannot make them drink it.
And no, I wasn't the poster of that website - it was your reaction that got me curious and so I went to that website and there is a lot of info there....only at the top of the page of the browser......
Do not feel that way. That is how you learn
Actually, you click on the Reply by Email in blue. Good luck finding MTs!!
I don't think they are hard to learn, but they are much more
technical in the terminology, lots of equipment and procedure names that change all the time. It seems that each time a new batch of doctors come in that the terminology is different. They come from other parts of the country/world and they used different equipment or different techniques. Lots of stuff to look up - just like the new drugs.
Oh and learn this new system..
 Be an IC at 7 cpl, and do your assigned work and be our slave! What a joke...
Well sir then just let everybody learn the hard way
Give it a try, see if we're all lying and making this up. There are simply too many people that can confirm the same facts my dear. You will hear the same story over and over and over again. This is such a big fat lie that you're telling. I hope nobody buys into it.
You do have to learn what account? Sorry
if it's a dumb question, but what did you mean by that? You have to learn the account your given or...?
I want to learn escription
Some companies advertise that you must have experience in eScription to be considered for an editing position. Have any of you been hired for an eScription position without experience in eScription? I'm sure I can learn it in no time. New platforms don't scare me. Thanks for your input.
If you care to share your opinion of eScription, I would like to hear that also!
Do you have to learn the language?
nm
Learn from my mistake
Do not go to work for Robin Hall. To this date she still owes me over $800 and I can't reach her in any way. Phone, IM, e-mail, cell... nothing.
You need to LEARN to spell....
Don't you think?
HA! You chickennecks will never learn!
I told her to write that and sit back and watch the responses. You knuckleheads never disappoint! HA!
Yes, you can definitely continue to learn, but -
why throw away perfectly good money on a USELESS 'certification'? You won't get paid more money, and you'll have to pay every time you take it if you fail the first time. AND pay to continue to renew it. Biggest ripoff in medical transcription history. AND, all this by a company that gives Indian MTs a better price to take the test, and who openly promotes offshoring american jobs.
You'd do better to spend the money on a comfortable work-chair, an ergonomic keyboard, a better computer, or some new reference books. Getting a bogus 'CMT' cert. just helps to fund AHDI's selling of the American Transcriptionist downriver.
Do I really care about whether you learn VR
or not? Not really. I just think the people on here complaining so much either cannot do, have never tried doing, failure at it (if you say you can transcribe 2000 lines a day and then on VR only 500, give me a break). Unless you find a small company, most of the bigger ones if not already on VR going that way. Get the same answers on here from people who don't know any better: Gotta be management, gotta be newbie, gotta be slow. Umm, did I miss anything that is normally said with people who are proficient with VR? Oh, cheerleader, forgot that one. I know McDonald's is probably going to have to get new positions open I see so many here threatening to go there because they can make more slinging hamburgers than VR.
I expect I could learn it but
I can't imagine much of anything being more boring and one's ears can only hear so fast. I know too many MTs, all working for different companies, and ALL of them are looking to get out of MT. It isn't a matter of making it work for them, it's a matter of them making only 50-60% of what they made doing straight transcription.
How hard is RadNet to learn/use?
Is the platform MT friendly, I guess is what I'm asking? Do you like it? Is it word-based? What expanders work with it? Any information you can give. TIA!
It took me, no lie 10 minutes, to learn the platform. sm
When the trainer called, I already loaded the expander, logged into the system, and was ready to go - no training needed. It took me all of 10 minutes to learn the platform; however, the account specifics is what takes a while. Like every company and account, there are certain specifics for each account.
I am liking it very much; however, I am not ready to quit my other job. I prefer working for two, so I have something to fall back on.
All you can do is learn from this and move forward.
Keep on going forward, learn from the obstacles in the road, the road will get smoother ahead, I promise!
Keep you chin up!
IC (excuse the pun, lol). But why are they hard to learn? nm
+++
True. They always learn the hard way it seems.
I am hoping somewhere along the line, I would have helped someone stay away from a bad company.
Hard to learn keystrokes.
 I found it very difficult to learn the editing keystrokes, and the trainer used abbreviations for things pertaining to BeyondText that I wasn't sure what she meant. I had to listen to five others with questions during training, one not so bright at all so that took up a lot of time from everyone else. I found BeyondText to be not very user friendly and I spent more time answering questionnaires than learning! Not a good platform, but is the only one I've tried other than Meditech VPN. I don't think this program is productive at all, and I hope all the others are not the same venue!
How difficult is Escription to learn? nm

Shouldn't the companies learn not to
Why not let a lot of folks have off????? HUH????
No kidding. At least won't have to learn new account.
