Their software isn't supposed to be that good. Does anyone know what it is? nm

Company with good software
 I just had training for my new job. I am very excited because the software is as good as I thought it was going to be. You don't have a to use a mouse!! You can use it, but there are control functions for everything, which is how I like it.
I don't really need the ShortHand program I ordered because there is a very good shortcut program with it, but I don't know if my shortcuts for ShortHand will load onto it or not. So I don't know if I'm going to try to use ShortHand or what, but I just want people to know there are still companies that use good, quick software that doesn't rely on the mouse. It's my dream come true. They also provided QLDB & Stedman's Medical Dictionary CDs. My last in-house radiology job didn't even have a medical spellchecker. Oy.
Seem very unorganized - no tech help - software not very good

Good account, clunky software
Umph!!! I found a job with great accounts, but their software is clunky, hard to manuever, and hard to make line count with. Several times a day, I have to log out and log back in because the software freezes up. No one in the tech department can do anything or unwilling to do anything. I love this account, but it is virtually impossible to make any money. I asked the tech department to at least work with me and my own macros and they never did. They just told me I could not use my own macros without even trying to convert my IT. Have anyone else had good accounts with clear dictators, but have the worst software program to work in. What on earth am I going to do now!!!!!
Does anyone use V-Script software with Transform or anywhere else? Is it good? Is it proprietary? nm
s
Is this a good rate for using Dictaphone Speech software?
They offered me 50% per line of what I was currently making back a number of months ago. Not worth it.
Not a good company. Their pay is low and software hard to work with sm
although now they say DocQScribe which means they have picked up MQ accounts like other companies. I would stay away.
Pay 8 cpl, use MTWorld software, sound quality supposedly not good. nm

Anybody know of any good line counting software that is free to download?
TIA
1100 lpd for FT, good sound quality, ExText software, LOTs of ESLs..nm

The best co. ever! Good work, good people, good pay, good bennies.

do you have any certain software...sm
to do your own line count on, or is there some way to do it w/o any special software? I'd like to check mine out!
What software were you using? nm

Just that there software is

Anyone know what software All Type uses?
Yes, you use their software that
incorporates your version of Word into, so you have all your auto correct, etc.
It's VR software.
I hated it at first but I've gotten used to it and hate typing the old way now.

Thanks. Is extext the same as dictaphone extext?. I will be working with a company shortly that uses dictaphone extext and someone had e-mailed me stating you can also use ShortHand if you like with dictaphone extext. Could you please give me some information on where I can find ShortHand since it is something it sounds like I could use. Thank you so much. I would appreciate it!
Software
Chartnet at SPI/Cymed is the best platform I have ever worked on. I worked on ExText for many years before and Chartnet is more efficient. I think SPI bought the rights to it (not 100% on this) so I don't think any other companies have it.
what software
platform do they use?
Everyone will have to use the same software?
I hope it is Editscript. It is the easiest to work on. At least the of ones I have used.
Do not pay for software
They are making the profit. I doubt very much that you are a principal or stockholder in the company. That being the case, why should you bear the financial burden. Again, don't enable this kind of bad behavior. There are plenty of honest and decent companies out there. This does not sound like it is one of them.
They have a software
and you have to use that software so it takes a lot of time. For every report you have to open up that software, search for the MT, search for other stuff and type the corrections in that form instead of on the report itself. That stuff gets sent to the MT. You get credit for only 15 lines for blanks no matter how many blanks there are.
The only time you get credit for the whole report is if you do a full listen and they are on full QA. Major ripoff.
No, just the software.
Email me if you want more info.
Software?
Perhaps they are getting ready to change software, platform, or make some changes with their programs.
What is the best expansion software to use
I may be taking a position with them and need to know which program works.
Their software is downloadable
from the EmDat website. They tell you that you need to pay for it and you should run fast. I have heard that they are not wonderful or even remotely close to wonderful.
Escription software
Looking for companies that use this voice recognition software. I think it's great and would love to find more work using that platform. Thanks for any info!
Question about software...
I start for Medware later this week. I am a rehire and before worked on Merit, but this time am working on the Dictaphone software. Is this the same software that MQ used at one time? For those who are employees now I would love to hear from you, please feel free to email me. I am hoping I made the righ decision to go back, but I think I have. I am just wondering what the difference is in the two platforms and if you get your line counts okay. Thanks.  
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.
They use DOS-based software sm
Medtype and Medrite. Nothing done in Word. All DOS-even email. Use PC anywhere for file transfer over phone line. 6 cents per line to start. QA 98-100 is very difficult to get and maintain. They supply equipment.
Not at all. I have 3 different types of software and
all three use a wave pedal. Two of them use USB and the other a 15-pin, and there is no conflict in the programming of each one.
software is SLOOOOOOOOOW
They are a nice bunch of people and the benefits were good, but I could rarely make their line count requirement because their
trouble with software
I am still having trouble with the ExText software. I know TT is doing their best to get everything smoothed out...but I am concerned because it really slows me down and is very frustrating...I just get all geared up and ready to have at it...but the software gives me nothing but problems. It cuts me off after I complete a report and then I have to sign back on to get dictation. Sometimes the system does not recognize my foot pedal, and I have to crawl under my desk undo the USB connection and reconnect, then it will work. All in all this is very frustrating. Also I find some of the doctors are difficult to understand...I think they are speaking too close or too far away from their microphone, etc. I know my line counts thus far are not good at all. I like the company...they are all very, very nice to work with, especially QA. I have been on the account about 3 weeks now...I sure hope it improves soon.
Thanks for your input.
Best radiology software

I just recently started working for EMTS in January of this year. Yes, I made the jump from MQ. Anyway, it is simply a pleasure to work for this outfit. They treat their transcriptionists with dignity and really appreciate their skills. They are very patient and very informative as well as are always building you up through the probation phase. It was hard going from DQS to Softweb but with diligence and hard work, I am now making much more in income than I was before. I think the reason it was difficult for me was it is using MS-word and there was so much that I did not know about it but have learned so much in such a short amount of time and would never go back. They will have to carry me out kicking and screaming, truly a great bunch of people to work with.
They use Emdat software and pay only 7 cpl. nm

updating software . . . .
I was told they are working on their software so it would not be so draggy, though. Would not have to wait for jobs or something regarding the job wait?
They have been really nice, but software..
is not so easy to use so far. I agree with other poster. There are a lot of times the patient names are not in the software, so you have to guess them. There are some docs who you don't even get the patient information for and you, once again, have to guess it. The dictionary is horrible and the autotext leaves much to be desired. There are a lot of headings that come up automatically and have to be deleted when not dictated, so you don't get paid for those. It is very time consuming as a whole. But, they pay on time...8 cpl.
Thank you! Can you tell me a little more abouterus the software? (sm)
Do you connect directly to the hospital via their software and does it use a VPN? Any and all information would be greatly appreciated.
TIA!!!
It is VR software from Dictaphone. sm
It is pretty accurate for Radiology, after time, but for acute care, it needs lots and lots of editing. I hate it.
Ad from Dec. 2006 said they have their own software. nm

There's software out there now that allows you to punch

They use their own software. You get docs

I did not care for the software nor the rah! rah! always going on nm

OMG they even want you to BUY the software! What a joke!
That has to be the LONGEST job ad that I have ever seen in my life! What a turn off! I love animals too, but the person running that ship seems a bit...well, psycho! LOL!
Where did you purchase your software and
Can you put software on their computer such as... sm
Can you use Shorthand. I have all electronic medical books, can I download that on their computer?
MDInTouch software, is what it is
thanks
Their software is horrible. That's why the
You can't make any decent money.
