Dictaphone EXT or Chartscript-Which do you think is an easier platform.
I have worked on Dicatphone and thought that system was fairly easy to learn. How does Chartscript compare to that platform and production wise. thanks
It is not the most MT-friendly platform, that's for sure, but if the company sm
is a good one, I wouldn't pass it up just because of Meditech. I am using it for the first time, and after a month I no longer loathe it like I did, but I cannot honestly say it is my favorite. It IS rather clunky and antiquated. Fortunately, ShortHand works as an expander, so that helps, and one of the pluses of the Meditech system is the ability to access lab, medications, other reports, etc.
Good luck to you. I am sure your trainer will have some helpful tips, or at least I hope so.
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.
Is Chart Matrix an MT-friendly platform? How about
nm
Platform is extremely user friendly! They are one of the better
companies out there. I would suggest working for them and deciding for yourself.
Is TransTech platform user friendly?
Is it difficult to get lines there?
Thanks
First they use the Futurenet platform which is VERY user friendly.
however, there is a discrepancy in line counts. They tend to try to use the line count that the FNET program gives. I wrote down character count with spaces for each document and found that at the end of the day the FNET program shorted me anywhere from 50 to 75 lines per day. The good news is you submit a line count sheet at the end of the pay period and they pay you off your sheet. So if you keep track like I did, you won't get shorted.
My only beef with JLG was that I was hired in to do SR paid hourly and within weeks of being hired they breached their offer letter and contract and forced us all (all SR people) to go onto production, which would be fine except that the ASR program had just started and we were still teaching the engine, so you couldn't make any money on production because you were pratically transcribing the entire report. Then there was the game playing. When we were hourly and management felt we weren't productive enough, they withheld work. They wouldn't put any jobs in our queue for days at a time. That didn't sit well with me. I'm the kind of person that if you don't like something I'm doing, call me up and tell me. Don't play passive-aggressive BS games!
I think they treat their MTs pretty well. I just would be mindful of how some of the higher ups operate. I think if you go in with your eyes open, you could make decent money on their platform transcribing.
Good Luck!
The platform is super easy and user friendly. I have never had sm
any problems getting my lines...plus!
No complaints at all. Platform is super MT friendly. Great QA department.
Very happy at Medware.
Does JLG have nice accounts to work on and is their platform user friendly.
:
great friendly people, IC work, pay so-so (9-1/2 cpl), clumsy platform. nm

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.
I love the WMX platform. Extremely user friendly and fast. SM
I definitely do not have to enter a bunch of demographics, which is really a plus for me. I love it here, going on one year now!
I currently work at JLG and love it. Great, user friendly platform.
They leave you alone to type. Pay on time, never late. Pretty well organized and good communication. And they do not offshore! I be sticking around. 
Is Dolbey STAT Transcription Platform user friendly?
Transtech new speech platform
Has anyone tried this out yet, and what is your opinion. Please feel free to e-mail me if you wish. Thanks!
They use Dictaphone EX Text platform. Very user friendly and easy to work on.
It is all strictly internet based. No extra phone lines required. They do reimburse your high speed internet up to I think $40 a month, too.
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?
Those are easier to do.
It makes them look good in front of a supervisor who is unaware!
I think they are easier to get, too, sm
but I only worked at MQ for a short while over a year ago. I agree that the atmosphere is better by far, too.
We know they get easier after a while; the woman would just like
z
NP easier to understand....
but they do go on and on and on forever....just can't keep it brief.
That's easier said than done these days. sm
Even the American products are built overseas or have some ties to offshoring.
easier way to calculate
an easier way to calculate is that it is said that typically it takes 3X as long to transcribe so if itis 45 mins, multiply by 3 and divide by 60 to figure out the amount in hours so 45 X 3 = 135, divided by 60 = 2.25 two and a quarter hours.
but it wouldn't be easier for someone who has

would probably be easier to post the ones who don't

It was easier when they were babies sm
in the pre-toddler stage. Now that they are preschool/school age, I find it impossible to keep focused on work and them too. I had to resort to working in the evenings when my husband was home so I could not be distracted. Good Luck!
Nothing easier than self deceit?
I was BEGGED by my supervisor to hang in there and flex. Told that things would get better. A bunch of lies. Lies make me angry. Especially lies involving my wallet.
Sorry we aren't all half vulcan and see the world with cold professional logic right along with you. Surprise, some of us get emotional about our paychecks, especially during a recession. But if you're that embarrassed, don't read about it, and hang out with the other vulcans.
If I kicked you in the shin, would remain the picture of diginity and grace, or would you scream because it hurt? You are only a paragon of dignity because you personally has hurt you - yet.
I was thinking it might be easier to figure out
nm
LOL. Perhaps I should stick with MQ--easier to spell...sm
Thank you, me, for the info in your previous posts.
Faster, easier, and more reliable than Autocorrect.

Is there an easier way to find out if companies offshore?
I have worked for 3 companies that all offshored and were absolutely not forthcoming about it upfront. I never want to work for one again. Is there a list somewhere or am I banging my head on the wall. Again.
as the poster below says, clinic work is not easier
I work for a large multispecialty clinic, general surgery - transcribe rotator cuff surgery, hernia or breast reconstruction; urology - transcribe the urinary system; orthopedic - joints and bones and muscles, ENT issues, cardiologisy and veins, arteries and valves, dermatology, neurology and nervous system.
Dermatology typically an easier or more difficult specialty? Thanks. nm
xxxxxxxx
That always makes it better. I do local to Houston and since I live there, it seems easier
nm
I do my daily or every couple days after my shift. Much easier (nm)
x
issues talk to lawyer. This is easier than starving?

I started out in radiology. It's so much easier than acute care.
Never figured out why they separate it from the rest since it's just another specialty. If you can do acute care, you can do radiology, so might as well give it a whirl! Gotta be better than Softscript.
Much easier and better process of doig this, as I worked at a hospital on ExText nm

IMO, it's just easier to be rude hiding behind the guise of a screen name. The hateful ones here
It's likely that the hostile MTs that constantly spew negative remarks are the same ones who are too passive to speak up for themselves in the real world. They are basically cowards that take crap all day then come here and anonymously take their pinned up frustrations out on everyone else.
I have seen this on many message boards, but for whatever reason, MT Stars is the absolute worst for this. Isolation must be a huge factor. Some of these gals just need to get out once in a while. JMO
Better be glad you got the easier dictators soon, because you're time is coming for the ^^^REAL^^
dictators! Be glad you got off now. I wondered where my better dictators went the last week or so !!!!! Lucky you !!!!!
I can always tell when the TT favorite MT's are off, because I get their dictators -- making it easier for me to get my line count. Yea !
TT is constantly hiring, so the above scenario is a norm.
MT-Friendly?
Can anyone please provide any info on the Emdat/Inscribe platform as far as it being MT-friendly and in terms of productivity?
TIA!
It's SUPER FRIENDLY for the MT. sm
It's all pretty self-explanatory. Spell check is fine, not sure what exactly you are asking about that....
Some friendly advice
If you can't research the answers to your questions and find them independently without help, you're not going to like Amphion.
Medium, friendly co.
 They have around 100 MTs. Jenn (the owner) is above wonderful. She is the best boss I have had. They leave you alone too, but are always available to answer any questions. Platform isn't too hard to learn either, at first it seems like a lot of info to remember, but all jobs seem like that at first. Tons and tons of samples.
MT-friendly platforms
You have read my mind. I love good old Word and sound files on Express Scribe. Still looking for more clinic work. Had a great gig and lost it due to another company typing for cheaper. My former MTSO raised her rates and lost a lot of her accounts. I am with a national now and I am not liking it very much.
MediTech not MT friendly
Yes Meditech Magic and Client Server are 2 different types of programs. We have client server. MediTech is not a good program for transcriptionist. Our corporate has several sites. When staff are transcribing going from one site to the next can be cumbersome. There are several reports for line counts but they all measure a line differently. We had to create our own report that was based on a 65 character line. It is difficult to manage reports without accounts - prereg, etc. They hang out there in pending until an account is available. We are currently looking for a different transcription solution.
friendly warning
I've known 3 people who worked for them now and here's the deal. You will constantly run out of work. There are short periods where they will pay a premium rate for overtime, but it will not make up for what you lose due to no work in general. Also, don't expect your paychecks to be on time. They are mailed from Canada to one of their editors in California and she then remails them, so it never comes on time and recently people didn't get paid at all, the pay was over a week late with no real explanation. They just don't have it together.
It is TERRIBLE and NOT MT Friendly...sm
You will NOt make any lines on that thing.
Yep. Not user friendly at all. It
requires a lot of going from keyboard to mouse and back and forth. My backup account is Mongoose and I liked it much better.
user friendly software
Is there really a user-friendly software? Is there one that you don't have to type in demographics anymore or at least get paid for it if you do? Is there one that is actually fast and doesn't require a lot of changing from screen to screen? What would it be? I am not a computer savvy person, but it seems like all this technology is taking us backwards. Also, I don't suppose you would like to tell us which company you work for.
