It's the ExText software. Easy to use. Has it's own expander, if you want, and line counting b

Do they use MT-World software? Is it Word based? Easy? Productive? Thx. nm

not organized enough
I have to agree with In My Opinion. I have dealt with Linda Kelley in the past, and my experience was not a pretty one. She was great in the beginning, but then she left the company she was originally contracting from and everything went downhill from there. We hardly ever got paid on time, and I have a real hard time believing that it has changed, especially since I have heard otherwise from current people within the last few weeks.
I will agree that if you get your production requirements and were there when expected she left you alone, but IMO I need to get paid to show up on time, first and foremost. If she ever gets that corrected than I would consider working for her, but at this point I haven't heard that it is corrected.
they are not that organized
and do not respond or reply very well
Not so organized...
I applied, did all the testing, was sent all the hire paperwork, faxed it back and never heard another word back. I tried emailing numerous times and all I got was that they were really busy.. Busy?? I just faxed my personal information, social security information etc..testing, got set up for the FTP file transfer and then no one called me back. That always give me a bad first impression and disorganization is my pet peeve. I wouldn't apply again with them if they were the last transcription company left. But...to each his own, maybe you'll have better luck
Just get all your stuff organized while
you wait to get set up. I like to have a ring binder to keep all the account specifics and company phone numbers in, etc. Use tab sheets and label them. If they send me a list of dictators, I print it out and tab that alphabetically too. It's just quicker for me and I can write in notes, like, sounds like Phillips, see Filipp or whatever. Plus new ones. Look on line for address lookups for the state of the account or accounts you get (whenever you find out). I use the State of __ Board of Medical Examiners' sites.
Never worked for them but they don't seem organized at all..sm
I had applied and spoken with a recruiter multiple times. They just don't seem organized or very professional in a sense that I would not trust them. Their benefits seemed great but I had that aching nag in the back of my mind that something wouldn't be right with them - that it would be a disaster. So I turned them down. You may have a different feeling and it may work out but with all of the confusion and problems that I had BEFORE working for them, I just said No. And, it seems like they can be a bit grumpy and not for ya. You know what I mean? Best of luck to you. I know it is scary switching jobs when you are an MT.
Personally, I think TT is more organized than SG.
I applied for SG, got an immediate response because I had been on the Escription platform for over 3 years and 15 years of MT experience. They told me they needed someone ASAP and asked me to the do testing that day, which I did....and then NOTHING. No response. My emails to them went unanswered, which I found rude. If for some reason, I did not pass the test (which was extremely easy), then out of common courtesy, they could have contacted me with a Dear John email even. I wasted my time immediately doing the testing only to be blown off. Very unprofessional in my opinion. That right there says a lot about a company. A few years ago, I did apply with TT, got offered the job and did work with them for a few months. I ended having to quit for personal reasons, nothing on their side as they were very organized and nice to work for. So, they get my vote.
Anyone know of a company, easy clinic work, easy Word format, dependable pay? Help!

Not very organized. Had more than 1 platform to work on
I had 3 accounts and had to learn new platform for each. I didn't stay with them very long. Found a better place.
500 emails in two months?!?! Not my idea of an organized company. No thanks. LOL

only on this broard reading or researching. this used to be good/organized.

I love it. It is fast, easy to learn and easy to use.
Transhealth is very organized, great benefits..horrible platform
Maybe it was just me but i never made it through training. It certainly could have been a lot easier than having to open up 3-4 programs to get going. I found it to be time-consuming and in a production-based atmosphere, this did not cut it. On the other hand, maybe others think the program is wonderful, but I sure did not. I have used Dictaphone EXText and that is way easier.
Very heavy ESL on my acct, needed a Cphone, other things. They were very organized in their

I am using Merit.
I also think they have a Dictaphone.
MERIT
I found it to be a very user friendly platform to use.
Platform very easy and quick - easy to get used to. :)
.
Actually, I was on the Merit side.
Now I work for a company using Dictaphone, and I'm happy.
Only some of MW uses that. The ER work is all done on MeriT, which is their own. nm

Not all MW ER work is on MeriT - sm
I work on a primarily ER account and we are on the Dictaphone platform. I really love working for Medware.
I use Merit on the ER team

Merit Program
Compared to EXText? No comparison, way worse.
Love Merit
I love the Merit platform, but it's pretty much the only one I've known other than Medware's older one where you had to dial in. Merit is probably the only reason I stay with the company since I don't want to learn a new platform and I'm afraid it will be tedious. They do not have enough work right now though on the ER side, but maybe acute care and Dictaphone does.
MeriT versus ExText
I just started with Medware a little over a month ago as an Editor and work on the MeriT System. I worked on ExText before joining Medware and I like MeriT better. ExText is a great program, but I think MeriT is more MT friendly.
Medware Merit platform ~ anyone use
Hoping someone could let me know how well the 2 work together. Is the Merit platform easy to use ~ how does it compare to Extext? Thanks a bunch for any info!!!
Merit side of Medware....
Can anyone give me their opinion on how easy it is to get lines, etc. on the Merit side of Medware? I am currently on the dictaphone side, but have such problems with the software locking up that before I leave the company completely was wondering how the Merit side was. Thanks. 
merit versus dictaphone
merit sucks compared to extext
Merit of DeVenture's Reply
I have to give DeVenture credit for making their reply sound so credible. However, my understanding is that this case was not about one of your MTs at home. This case is about one of your administrative staff members NOT one of your typists, so this does not compare whatsoever. Nice try though.
Any information on Merit Tech
in AZ?
Thanks
Amen! I am a reviewer on the Merit side and could not
I have experienced nothing bad. Recruiter was honest and great to work with. Training was great and my Team Lead is the best!! Very happy with everything at Medware. I left a horrible company (OSi)!!!
I can see why they were voted Employer of the Year. They rock!!!!
Medware's Merit works with satellite
I have high speed satellite (DirecWay) and work for Medware.
Medware has 2 platforms, Merit and EXText
They use 2 platforms, their own called Merit and Dictaphone's EXText. Depends on what work type and account you ask for, different teams for each one. Hope that helps, I have been with Medware about 6 months and use EXText, it's awesome. I am on a clinic account.
I should say that this is for ER work, employee, Merit system. nm

How is MW's MeriT program as far as productivity goes? just curious
Anyone use the Merit platform with MW? Good, bad, average? nm
s
I have worked on both sides, Merit and dictaphone.
I think the Dictaphone is better but the account I had you could not view old reports. You could open up another text client and view them that way, but opening up 2 word documents of any kind messed things up and I had to get out of everything and start over.
As far as the dictators, I had an easy-dictator account with both Merit and Dictaphone and yes, there was more than enough work to do on the Dictaphone side but the Merit account ran out quite a bit. I had encountered 3 different team leads during my stay tere and all were as nice as they could be.
Anybody running Smartype with the Medware MeriT program? (nm)
Word based expanders work with Merit
Hope that helps
You can't pick what accounts you get, only whether you are ER or acute. I do 2000+ on ER, Merit p
woowoo
Merit is what is screwed up. As usual. New managers couldn't care less.
nm
Medware Merit or Voice Recognition platform..help me decide please.
t.y.
I wasn't productive on MeriT. Too much time spent entering demographic information...
There is no roster to pull patient names from, so you have to type what the docs say, and those ER docs speak at lightening speed. I spent more time trying to get the patient name right than I did typing the report. I really, really hated that.
Pay was good, 925 lpd min., very organized. Just not a good fit for me. nm

It's just not easy to do for most of us. nm

Does anyone else think it is just as easy to go to a different
company as it is to learn new account at the same time you are learning a new platform that has a lot of problems?
easy to put an end to it all
Doesn't matter if QT says they are not closing or not selling, it is all in what the account decides what will force the hand. You have one big account, lose one big account, you do the math.
It's VERY easy
All that you do is hit F6 and it brings up all of the old report. As far as I can tell, they go back about a year.
easy as pie
Super easy and I find it super fast. Check out www.escription.com
I cannot tell you how easy it is to get someone's SS#
and have a grand time with it! Try explaining it to the hospitals that want to outsource to certain national companies that don't do a background check on employees or that the threat to take SS# just by when doctors dictate them is easy - can you imagine how easy it is for the offshore companies to do it. If I can do it in the states working for a national company, imagine what the offshore companies can do!
EASY
I was wondering the same thing. The ad said It is easier to edit than type, and they pay hourly. I don't like their choice of words though. Neither is EASY. It all takes skill. I, too, am curious--Who is TMMG?
