extra screens. You just log on the system, hit a button to get your job, type it and hit the upload and it is gone. Nothing else to do. I have used too many systems where you have to log into multiple screens etc.. before you can even get started. To me, Escription is way more productive. You will not have a lot of time wasted. JMO.

I'll work for them again if they get another eScription account.
The one I was on was lost. Not too heart broken as it was a pain in the butt account.
Escription platform
What other company uses the Escription platform that does not subcontract from Focus? I like that platform, just not working for Focus.
escription platform
Has anyone worked or does work on escription platform? Just wanting to know if you can make a good line count on it. I don't know whether or not to apply for a company that uses it. Any info greatly appreciated.
escription platform
Hi! Are you doing straight transcription? I appreciate your help! 
8.4/4 for Escription platform. nm

Escription is best platform. nm

I am using escription platform.
When they installed that, they also installed Shorthand. I never use it, I don't know how to use it. I use my own Instant Text. Anyway, I have been here 1 month and so far so good. I use MS Word and a Stedman's Medical Spellcheck I purchased myself a year ago.
Yes, it's Escription (VR platform)
I use that platform for my primary account. I think it's the best VR platform out there.
Anyone having problems with escription platform?
I know this is not just a problem I am having but almost impossible to use, audio coming in jerking along and sometimes not even there- makes the words slowlllllllly appear on screen, really bad. TIA.
I get paid 5 cpl on Escription platform.. nm

Escription is good platform sm
The sound quality is good (on my computer anyway compared to some other platforms I've tried!), the platform is quick between screens, allows you to check past reports and dictator's past reports. I found the later especially helpful when I had challenging dictators saying the same things and could not quite figure it out. When I checked their past reports of the same kind - wallah! -- there it was in print.
Escription can be really good (with good dictators) and a big stinker with poor dictators. I suspect that is the same everywhere. I would jump at the chance to only have about 40% VR.
Good luck to you and God bless.
I use my own computer with the escription platform nm

Any currently working on the Escription platform... sm
How are you with the straight jobs versus the speech recognition? Are you doing both? Is Escription much better than Extext? Are you able to double your lines with Escription VR. Thanks for sharing.
Escription is user friendly and 4 cpl is about average for that platform. You could easily do 400
lines an hour. Some people do even 500-600. Good luck with your decision. From what I know, it really is the best VR platform out there and I make more on that than ever could straight typing.
Thank you. I'll try and look into that platform.
I've heard good things about Transtech in regards to flexibility. Thanks again.
maybe you'll get on a decent platform/account
nm
Yes, it comes with Stedman's built in. You'll love the platform, it's
the easiest I have worked with.
if easy platform and few ESLs, you'll do okay with same doctors daily.

What is the easiest way to check
lines counts against iChart? With all the talk, I think I should do an audit of my work to see how it compares to iChart totals, just not sure the easiest way to do this...thanks!
Rheumatology is easiest for me.
:)
Love AllType, TSP is easiest I have ever used
TSP is great. Word-based. Company is great, provides norms and examples. Pay is on time.
too many platform probs, lost lines, IT support is virtually nonexistent, I'll be saying

Excellent program to use! I think it is the easiest! Love it...nm

Just be aware that not all Escription accounts pay the same. I worked for one company on Escription
struggling to maybe make $50 in 8-10 hours. I didnt know the difference as that was my first job on that platform and I just thought it was not a money maker. Then, I switched companies. I average $20-30 an hour and once I made $50 in an hour. I tried yet another company and I was lucky to make $9 an hour. The bottom line is that not all companies are alike, even though they use the Escription platform. What I have found is that goes according to how they set it up i.e. paying for footers, headers, spaces etc. Just dont be shocked if you dont make what you think you will. The companies know how to set it to where it benefits them and not you. As is the norm, not all companies are created equal out there regardless if they all use the same platform. That is what I am getting out.. Good luck.
If you'll read through past posts you'll find lots of
recent info. Why do you need menitoring if you already work as an MT. Unless you do clinic work most companies will require you to work at least one weekend day, at least initially.
If you'll read the archives you'll find out everything
you want to know, none of it good.
Probably figure you'll want Way more than they'll offer, whatever it might be. :) nm

If you'll read more carefully you'll see
I was referring to AFTER she's missed out on a job, having a friend do sort of an audit to tell her what what was wrong with her test she submitted -- not cheating.
RISS is not a platform. RIS stands for Radiology Information System. The platform sm
would be EXText.
MDI-MD platform is fast, not full of problems like Transcend platform or MDI-FL
On Transcend platform you have to click, click, click all day and still get errors, change screens constantly - its a nightmare to work in.
Yes, SPi does use this platform....it's a great platform, but not worth working for SPi. nm

Bad Platform. I personally know of 3 MTs who left because of the platform.
If you are like me, the bottom line is wages and what I get in my check. I have never worked for Amphion, but I personally know of 3 MTs who worked part-time at Amphion before quitting their other service to see what Amphion had to offer before it was too late. All 3 quit Amphion and stayed with their other service because of the Amphion platform. Too hard to make any decent lines.
Something to think about.

To all of us trying our hardest to grab our work when it is available, and then still only make 24 bucks a day because of the garbage platform.

I've heard that DaVenture Health Partners was recently made an approved vendor, but as of today they are not posted on the eScription website yet.
Escription????
Has anyone out there worked on Escription? If so, what are your thoughts. Can you make any money at it since it pays so much less?
Escription
Does anyone know of any companies that use Escription, OTHER than Transcend and MDI-FL? Thanks in advance.

ESCRIPTION
Anyone working on escription, could you give me some advice on increasing my productivity. Sometimes, I do okay and then other days it is so slow going.
Any MDI MTs doing eScription
If you are employee as above, please tell me how things are there - is it a good place to work?
Any MDI MTs doing eScription
That says a lot. Thanks.
MDI-FL ad for escription MTs?
Anyone work there that can give me more details? What's the pay for editing there, dictators, atmosphere, etc? Also what about the radiology ad? Do they pay by report or by line? Thanks for any help.
Escription
Do any of you use this platform? Do you like it? Is is productive? Can you give a time frame for the learning curve? Any replys greatly appreciated.......thanks.
eScription
EditScript is Word based. It's very easy to learn. Works with Word AutoCorrect to save your shortchuts, etc. Very reliable from a technical point of view. Our facility just went live about 98 days ago, all 22 MTs are loving it. Most have already increased their productivity from our old ChartScript days. Does a really good job with speech recognition even with some horrible dictators - consistency among the MTs is key to that success.
Very nice platform, very MT friendly !
Escription
That sounds great. I appreciate you letting me know that.......I needed to hear something positive.
Escription
I used to work where they had escription but was paid hourly at that point because we had just gotten it. Sorry no help. Good luck!
What is escription? nm
x
Their pay is low for escription, which is
probably why they are always running an ad.
Escription
USUALLY, not always, the doctor puts in the MR number which automatically pulls in the patient name. Some companies have you do a type of search using that number to pull in the DOS, DOB, location, referring doc all at once.
Pay escription
I'm a little confused by the pay. It sounds like they convert edited lines into a percentage of typed lines so you aren't getting paid a per line for editing. I think.
