MDI-FL - is the internet platform/MS word a good
Posted By: MT on 2005-10-14

platform. I understand they have about 4 different platforms. I would be interested in the proprietary internet platform that uses MS Word. Is it user friendly and productive, can you see your line counts immediately, what type of short cut Expander is used, and the type of voice player to download jobs?
Thanks

Does the Emdat platform use Word or is it Word-based? nm

The platform is Word. Their program works with Word but does not change how Word works. nm
The benefits just changed the first part of this month. I don't have them but I remember them being reasonabl for a single person. Family and spouse was not reasonable in any way (in my opinion).
Do they use an internet platform?

The platform is not Word, but it is Word-based. I
had little Word experience and the recruiter told me to try to find a book to learn the basics of Word as their program is Word-based.
What internet platform do they use do you mind me asking.

I have had no problems with internet or platform.. sm
I have been with Wedmedx now for over a year. It took me awhile to get my line count up where I wanted, but that was my fault. I had been on an account with another company where I could not use expanders, and had to relearn most of the ShortHand that speeds up the typing. Once I re-trained my brain, my line count is now back up where I want it to be.
As far as internet and platform. I have not had trouble with my internet connections and I have DSL out in the boonies of the Midwest... even moving from one small town to another and switching providers, have always had good DSL service.
A couple times this last week, the platform has been slow, but technical have always emailed and given us updates on when it will be fixed, and once they said all was okay, I had no problems with platform. That's just part of doing business; sometimes there are going to be technical issues, and it doesn't matter where you work. I like the fact that technical will communicate with the transcriptionists when there are problems.
I am very happy at Wedmedx. I hope you give them a chance.

Thanks. What platform do they use and is Word compatible?
How about straight Word platform at
Easy enough? Is Meditech anything like that? I've never used Meditech personally.
I don't think it's a platform. I think it is just typing in Word. nm

Is that a Word-based platform?
I just applied for that position and they e-mailed me with some questions.
If you are working in a Word platform
and not some confabulated platform, then the autocorrect that is part of MS Word is more than adequate for macros and expanding words. That is all I have used for the last 10 years and do just fine. Save your money.
Word based platform
Are there any GOOD companiesthat work on a Word-based platform?
they run off a word-based platform
it's not very stream-lined and kinda klunky, but efficient enough. I know they've made recent updates to make it run a little faster, but there were times when i would spent two to three minutes after filling out the screen waiting for my work screen to appear.

Their own platform. Shorthand, Word based. nm

I type in Word and use the Scribe platform...
but I don't use a C-phone...
Can anyone tell me who a really good SE company is that is solely internet based and are nice to
work for with decent accounts. Thanks much.
It is their own platform but not word based. Shorthand is the macro stuff.
Pretty decent place to work.

Strictly IC, good company, hard accounts, good platform.
Good pay, always on time, no direct deposit though.
Is Transcend a good company with a good platform to work on. They are advertising.

No, but if you put in a good word for me with my supervisor I'd appreciate it. :)

Except for the good platform, the

What is a good platform? sm
Have you found a better platform that is fast and good for line count?
not a good platform - sm
I found it to be very slow and it took too much time to set up each dictation. Not time efficient at all!!!! You have to fill on all the info yourself, no prefilled headers.
good platform
The platform they use is one of the best out there, IMO after doing meditech, chartscribe, you name it. The pay is so-so as they do a tiered rate. Pay is on time. They used to be flexible on the hours you worked. Full time is 12,500 lines a pay period of half a month.
Just avoid any accounts that Lisa is manager of if you can. Or at least just stay a transcriptionist, do not get sucked into helping on other stuff or then you really get screwed on pay.
Lisa is controlling and plays nasty games with people working under her.
Platform bad but pay is good
I'm making more than ever before in my life on my hassle-ridden platform, so I'll deal with it. The way they made our pay fair for their admitted hassles is they take dictated minutes and multiply those by 13 lines to come up with our line counts. So every dictator with sloppy habits (long pauses, changes their mind constantly, wants to spell the nobrainers, etc.) which would be a money waster on any other account, actually makes me money because I'm getting 13 lines per dictated minute no matter what the dictation consists of. Maybe you can ask if they can implement something similar for your bad platform, to compensate for admittedly wasted time on it, and more people would be willing to work it.
Wow, that does sound like a good platform...
Maybe I should apply with your company. I need an efficient platform with hot keys and easy access. That sounds great!
Is Bytescribe a good 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.
Platform is user friendly. P ay is good. sm
The accounts are good for experienced MTs.
I can't say I produce more on this particular platform, but it is MT friendly. I average approximately 300 lines an hour. That is not my best, as I have done 400 lines an hour on a different platform. It all depends on the dictators.
Good luck to you. If you need flexibility, a decent line rate and don't mind being SE without benefits - go for it.
I prefer SE or IC status, so it suits me just fine.
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.
Anyone use the Merit platform with MW? Good, bad, average? nm

I'm curious from your perspective, who has a good platform and why? sm
I see you posting regularly and I'm curious what you think Wbmdx could and should incorporate to make Enterprise better. Thanks.
Opinions on Oracle? Good pay? Platform? THX
I love the platform and make good $ on it. SM
I do believe it has to do with the accounts though. I've used it for 4 hospitals and have made great money, both VR and straight typing. VR gives me more than double the lines of typing but I do think it is an acquired skill. Learn the shortcuts and use them. It is also only as good as the team training the VR.
On the other hand I've used it on a clinic account and the lines were just not coming in like they do in AC. A very heavy, 90%, ESL verbatim account and I lasted all of 2 weeks on that account.
I'd say I do about 90% VR and 10% straight typing and all in all I'm impressed with the accuracy of the VR.
Doesnt matter how good the platform is without work does it.

DocQScribe wasn't a good platform for me, so I left. nm
