They have their own proprietary software...
very similar to MS Word. Easy to use. Disregard the person's post about 8.5 cpl for 1400 lpd - should get facts from the recruiter about pay and benefits. If you want to ask any more questions, I would be happy to e-mail you.
I believe Apex is a proprietary software used only by
Transolutions. Unless there is some other platform by the name of Apex 
Does anyone use V-Script software with Transform or anywhere else? Is it good? Is it proprietary? nm

Contact from 1/07 said their proprietary software was clunky&slow, and that running out of

Can you guys say what companies use this software? Thx. nm

FTP is just to move files around, not play them. That would be software like ExText, ChartScript,

Can you tell us what brand? SM
I have tried many and not found good ones, so I'm asking you. It's worth a try! I'd love to invest in some but have not found any real good ones. Years ago Radio Shack had some awesome ones but they did not seem to have them at this time, mostly just what you can get anywhere. Thanks
BRAND NEW?
I'm wondering why nobody responded to this post. Is the company brand new? Or, so bad that nobody wants to share? Or, does the company forbid any posting here by its employees/ICs?
Shhh.....don't think anyone else does. Probably proprietary. nm

Platforms are proprietary...
...and based on account. To my knowledge, there are three, distinguished by version number: 3.5, 3.8, and 4.0. This has come about through Spheris acquiring other transcription companies and assimilating their proprietary platforms.
I work on TWS 3.8. It's not bad, but it could be better. The Expanders are crude and it takes some time to build up a good collection of them. It won't correct for capitalization, i.e., changing the first letter of the first word of a sentence to upper-case a LA MS Word and other typical office word processing programs. It can be a bit crashy at times. Still, many people do very well with it, and I can't fault the training provided--though keep in mind, I was trained three years ago. There may have been changes since then.
Hope that helps.
They use their own proprietary platform that
works with your version of Word. It uses express scribe.
Company's proprietary platform (sm)
I make normals out of everything. I consistently do 300 to 450 lph now that we can speed up the dictation.
Their platform is proprietary and you can use Shorthand...sm
with it, or ShortCut. Those 2 I know for sure are compatible. I really like the platform - it's called ChartMatrix. It keeps a running total of your lines as you type, so you know right where your production is at any given time. They pay for headers, footers and spaces which is great.
Come and join us! 
Apex is proprietary thought sm
How were you on it at another company?
SINCE WHEN IS EXPLOITATION OF WORKERS PROPRIETARY?..sm
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
eMachines is just the brand of computer
It doesn't determine whether your computer would be compatible with a platform or not. Your operating system, word processing software, and browser are the key factors for compatibility with a platform, I believe.
brand versus generic.....
but that's why we have reference materials!! When I started doing the job, I was lucky to FIND the medications!!! (I just started off the street...) Actually, the person that said that was correct, we don't necessarily always KNOW if drugs are generic or brand name, but it is our job to find out and spell/capitalize it correctly. Yes, it's time-consuming but hopefully once you have looked it up a few times, you'll learn it or at least be able to put it in your auto keys!! Well said MyMT!!
Not brand-new info, but recent. (sm)
I think the rate I had there was 8 or 8.5 cents a line, as an IC, which isn't great. The problems I had with them were that they did not use direct deposit for IC's and the checks ALWAYS took at least 15 days to come. They said it was a slow post office. I took the envelope to the post office and they looked at the postmark and said it had only just been mailed 3 days earlier, which means they mailed it 12 days late but would not admit it, nor would they let me have direct deposit or overnight (even though I offered to pay for the overnight service). That was annoying as heck, as it happened every single pay period. The other issue was that they required me to work Sundays, and yet I ran out of work EVERY SINGLE SUNDAY. I was supposed to hit 1100 lines every Sunday and it never ever happened even when I started at 4 a.m. Oh, and when I moved to where there was only satellite internet available, they told me they were compatible with satellite, and they weren't, so I had to find another job fast and they couldn't ever figure out why it wasn't compatible, as their tech was actually just an MT who had taken a computer course. Oy. I liked the work, the supervisors, etc., but it wasn't great. I left almost a year ago and never looked back.
Probably a brand new company. Never mentioned here or "elsewhere" before now. nm
s
An emachine is just a computer brand. I have one, no problems.
nm
The only time I've seen this, it was a brand new account sm
The whole team had to go on QA and be released one by one. It was time-consuming but I guess the client had demanded it.
FOR LONG TIME MT: generic : Brand.....s/m
No, MTs are NOT supposed to KNOW if a med is generic or brand. HOW COULD WE? We are not doctors and no pharmacists.
How can we know, especially if it is the first time that we encounter this drug?
We have to LOOK it UP, what often takes a lot of time. But we do it. Because we HAVE to know if we have to Cap it or not cap it.
Do you know that Brand drugs are CAPPED, whereas generic are NOT CAPPED??? I suppose not, otherwise YOUR COMMENT WOULD HAVE BEEN QUITE DIFFERENT.
As what do you function: As an MTSO, MT or QA??
I hope that the time will come that MTSOs AND QAs will be made OBSOLETE, likewise this AAMT, now AHDI (or whatever), because they cause ONLY CHAOS and MONEY !
YOU OWE US AN APOLOGY!
Precyse has their own proprietary platform, modeled after DocQScribe. nm
xx
A lot of companies are brand new start-ups, so we won't know anything about them. New places open
s
They may be brand new. Ask them how long in business if you make contact. nm
s
And you just started on DQS brand new account and make 260 lph. You are extremely amazing but to be
honest I dont believe you.
Probably brand new. Lots of new graduates get out there and try to start businesses all the time. nm

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.
