ETrans is looking for PT people on Extext for clinic work sm
I spoke to the recruiter on Friday, 10/24. I don't do clinic and I prefer to work in Extext, but they don't have OPs and cardiac stuff, which is all I do. I THINK she said she had rheumatology, psych and ortho on Extext, all clinic stuff. It is EtransPlus. You can look on Job seeker's or email me for her email address.
Nice people, use ExText. Lack of communication with the higher ups and especially QA
s
Great place - ExText is easy to learn and user friendly. Good pay. Nice, COMPETENT people.

9cpl and 11 cpl for weekends. Use ExText. My ExText version wasn't compatible with theirs

People at TT have been paid! People who haven't well, maybe you did not make count and your check
after insurance deduction. Maybe your bank is holding it. Maybe anything! But we GOT PAID. This is NO LIE. And I am sick of this board. Nothing but disgruntled exemployees arguing with employees who like their job. Ugggg. I am working. BTW: THERE IS WORK (clears throat) remember that? Work?
Keystrokes is wonderful!! They are the nicest people and care 150% about their people!!
Excellent company!!!!
I worked for SS and some people were very RUDE and I am talking about the editing people in some
instances. It ALL depends on the person, as it does with any company. They paid on time and the lady over me was very nice, but boy the person in QA was mean to EVERYONE!! Never seen anything like it before.
Are people trying to scare people or just tell them what is happening. I am not scared just seeing
that things are changing very rapidly and not for the better for me. If I have no work and need multiple accounts everyone else is in the same boat now arent they that have my accounts. That is how people know what is going on.
Maybe due to the people that manage Amherst. I think MQ would be a lot better off finding new people
up there with all the problems you hear about that office. Seems like something is very very wrong there.
I doubt it. There are more happy people than unhappy people sm
at Medquist. I've checked out other companies but I liked MQ the best (I kept working at MQ while testing other companies).
SO right! People who get paid to bring people on-board -sm
to these companies (few, if any, are 100% honest, it seems), are going to be honest and tell you anything that isn't rosy and sugar-coated. Having a good prospective MT walk because the company isn't so great means less green dollars in their bank account every month. They're not going to tell us anything that DOESN'T make them more money.
More people will come into VR because the qualifcations to do MT are not the same. Lots of people w
to work at home. It's all relative to what you are used to. The nationals are counting on this. I think MTs will work cheaper rather than reenter the work force with no other skills than MT. The nationals are counting on this.
They named people's names. That is not right. People just sm
need to keep from naming names. I thought it was an informative bit of information, but when you name names, then posts are way out of line.
I would really like to see a truly professional way of talking about a company. I don't care what board you go to, somehow people just do not want to play nice when it comes to talking about people. If those people could learn to be a little more professional and stop posting names to their wrath or anger, then that will be the day I can say I am proud to be in this profession. When I see those types of things, it makes my skin crawl. If it were me being talked about, I would be livid. I certainly understand why the posts were deleted.
Thank you for saying that. Most people here just love to trash people.
It is against board rules though.
Heartland - we take care of our people people
I meant in quotation marks, not parentheses.
For people at MDI-MD that say they are out of work, I see they are hiring now. Are people still
running out of work or did they get more accounts. I am interested in this company.
Honestly, people some people are lazy...
plain and simple, sad but true.
EXText
I just wonder what companies use EXText as a transcription platform? If you've worked on it, did you like it? Is it MT friendly?
EXText
If you are referring to Dictaphone EXTtext, it is basically transcribing in Word only it has it's own Expander (you cannot use SmartType and other Expanders with it.) It is user friendly and works quickly.
I used IT with EXText, too.

OSi uses EXText...nm
oo
extext
Could you tell me about the EXtext? I have a chance to switch from Merit to that, what do you think about it? I really like Merit so I don't know what to do.
EXText
I have never used Merit, but I have heard from my team leader that the MTs who use it like it. I was using EXText for the past 2 years and like it fine, very happy that Medware could get me started in 1 day and save all of my Expander file.
EXText
OSi uses it.
EXText
I have worked on Dictaphone's EXText platform for 5 years, for 2 different companies, and I love it.

ExText
What is the name of the company and do you still work for them? I am about ready to accept a job, but it seems like I do remember her saying something about ExText. If everything you are saying is true, I don't know if I should go to work for them. Now I'M IN A PANIC!! Plus, everything else about the job sounded too good to be true. So maybe that's because they use ExText? PLEASE REPLY as I need to get back to them soon.
ExText
I personally really like working with ExText. No problems in about 2-1/2 years. I don't know what your question, do they really take 30%, means but assuming you mean the ExText program, then my production is just as good with it as it has been with any other program. Believe me I would notice if my production went south; that happened with XX Company on DQS. Very occasionally it seems to be a little slow loading jobs but the only time I ever have to really wait on it is if I have a couple of really short reports in a row, otherwise 2 jobs stay in my que all the time. Good luck which ever way you decide to go.
ExText
I'm not the poster you were responding to, but IMHO ExText is not really better or worse than most other platforms I've worked on and that's been a bunch. The exception it DQS. At the time I worked on it DQS totally sucked but then I know there are people who say they love it. I'm not exactly a computer whiz so I suppose different companies using ExText could probably make it function different ways. My experience with ExText is the demos pop right in and you go directly from there to the typing screen, Ctr end ends the job and brings up the next demo screen and so on. Couldn't be much more simple.
ExText
I really like ExText. It is very user-friendly. My line counts with TT are consistent with those from other companies I have worked for in the past that used a different platform. I would suggest you contact the person that hired you regarding your concerns about ExText and let them explain the way it works, i.e., what you are paid for and what you are not paid for, and any other questions you may have.
ExText rip off
I work in extext with breitner's and we dont get paid for headers/footers either..... we look up referrals, etc. After I type a document, I click on tools, and chose word count and I keep track of my counts myself. I get paid for the full body of the reports, but no heads/foots...... to me, 30% is BS. How long have you worked with this company???
EXText rip off
I work for Breitner too. Do they take 25% off your total line count? I am still waiting for my first real 2 week paycheck to see what the reduction is. Only been there about 6 weeks now.
ExText
TransTech does .....so far no problems.
ExText
You say the ExText you use does not allow SmarType but has its own built in expander. Is it an Expander that you have to start from scratch? I, too, use ExText and would like to use SmarType in MS Word. I hate the built in expander for the simple reason you have to start from scratch. With SmarType, there were already a lot of words/phrases loaded and you just had to add to them. Plus my expander will not automatically back up a space, as in if you needed to put a period in. Is yours the same? PLEASE reply as I am considering buying SmarType for MS Word for $195.00, but I really don't have the money.
EXText
Does anybody know how to find out if a company uses a particular transcription platform? I have been trained on Dictaphone EXText and would like to use it again. How do I find the companies that use it????

ExText
I've used ExText in the last 2 jobs I've had, and we have a shortcut program, ESP, which is easy to use. I had a hard time learning ExText for a few weeks, but the training at the first company was not very good. Now I'm very comfortable with it.
Just know that starting a new job has pressures, so just keep on asking questions until you get it.
I do enjoy being able to search the old charts. Today I had to look up the dictator's old charts and then the patient's old charts, but I found what I wanted.
If you want to post your email, I'll be glad to help you get started. My new company has excellent instructions and tips.
Used Extext and DQS
It would probably help if you named the actual programs. I have worked with both Dictaphone EXText and Docuscribe (DQS) on the same PC with no problems whatsoever. The key is having a lot of memory, making sure all of your operating system software is up to date, keeping your folders cleaned out, etc.
Be selective on your KVM switch if you have to get one and routers, too. I have used a Linksys KVM with audio for 2 years now and LOVE it. Never had a single problem. Good luck with the 2nd job.
It is ExText.
I e-mailed you the company name. I had to sign some confidentiality stuff, and I can't remember if that includes what software they use.
Extext
Not all Dictaphone Extext come with Stedman's. I use it and I have my OWN Stedman's dictionary....so NO ... it depends on the company you are working for
ExText
Anyone ever type on this system? Is it user friendly? Is the line count fair to MTs?
ExText
Any info on this platform? Some can be manipulated (line counts). I know this for a fact and used to work for a company that did this. Any chance of this happening on this system or is it fair?
ExText
I worked on ExText when I worked in-house, and I loved it. I verified my line counts, and they were set at 65 CPL. Very MT-friendly program in opinion.

I'm a very happy camper with them. They treat us like people. (I think the people there are hilarious, too.)
Extext
Anyone have trouble getting lines on this system? Im about ready to toss in the towel. Impossible to get anymore than 900 lines per 8 hour shift, maybe 1000 if you don't go to the bathroom and take no breaks. This is ridiculous!!
I liked everything about ExText....sm
...except that. Yes, when I worked with that system there were some percentage errors that I found, meaning that at times there would be a 12 or 22 % difference in what I was coming up with.
Also, the document screen with ExText (where I worked) took soooo long to check and double-check to get into the document that I found it very, very time consuming. You had to be very, very careful to get the right visit, date of service, etc.
I would say, Hang in there, maybe you're just having a bad night!
Good Luck!
ExText
Literally strips all the headers and footers, hidden code in Word. Thats why the count is off. Sneaky little trick they learned isn't it? Thats why our lines are so low.
