Company no longer uses ExText
Transcription Services of Illinois (TSI) no longer uses ExText (WordClient).
Any company that uses Dictaphone Extext

I am working on Extext platform for another company
huge difference in line count, same type of reports, same hours. I can nearly double what I did there in the same amount of time. I don't know quite what the problem is but a lot of people have complained about it and we still haven't gotten an answer to our satisfaction. I have talked to people who left there and who posted their story here and elsewhere and they got a threatening letter from the company attorney. Absolutely no grounds for this, folks are just relating their experience.
ExText is notorious for this. Will depend on exactly what the company
s
What company uses Dictaphone ExText (other than Focus)?
Your company might stink, but the ExText is one of the best things out there! Good
s
i worked for a company that used ExText, and they were aware of a problem
with the line counting, so they actually provided a web site, separate from Extext, that provided your daily count.
The ExText will be interfaced with your own Word version unless the company installed something
s
Just checked line count for another GREAT Extext company
nm
The company hiring you should provide the Dictaphone pedal or the adapter to play the ExText

Please email me which company does this
This thread is very interesting. I can see having a credit check pulled if the company is going to supply you with all the equipment, but for an IC position? Something smells.
I'm about to graduate from Andrews in the very near future, and I would appreciate an email letting me know which company(ies) is/are doing this. I think it's absolutely outrageous.
I can stand up to an intensive FBI background check, and I recently had one done to renew my state security license, so I have no problem with that aspect.
Please let me know *which* company is doing this. I won't waste their time or mine.
I would love to know which company. You may email me if you wish. sm
Email above. Thanks. 
Actually, I sent you an email through your ad on the company board. Thanks! nm
I left a company as soon as got email saying they were
w
Email said not about company stability, and you
Of course they sent encouraging apologetic email. Do you think they would send one saying, We are having dire company problems and you may never get this money? They can put ANYTHING in an email. That doesnt mean it is true.
9cpl and 11 cpl for weekends. Use ExText. My ExText version wasn't compatible with theirs
,
Did you email the company about this? They may have no idea and appreciate knowing what is going on.

OSI allows only company email, keeps coworkers anonymous
and that stinks
No problems for me. In fact, the company sent out an email sm
yesterday asking if anyone wanted a backup account, so I took them up on it. I know how scary slow days can be -- hope it ends for you soon. If you do not have a backup account, maybe you should call and ask for one.
Good luck!
I don't believe I trashed the company, and I had not received the email yet. sm
And yes, she is cheery and full of hope and promise, but that doesn't pay the bills now. I appreciate your compassion.
In case this company doesn't see this post, email them and tell them
y
Email me privately. I think we work for the same company and I have an answer for you.
I went through all of this about 6 months ago and if it's the same company I'll give you the lowdown.
No sweetie, you were coming to branching, thank your company by their email.

Nuance is the parent company of Dictaphone. Dictaphone makes ExText.
s
small to medium company that works in Word or Word-based program - email me. nm

Hey OrthoMT.. tried to email you back but the email was returned as undeliverable..
Basically, this is what I'd like to know.. You can email me the information if you like..First off, are they hiring for ortho? and what is their scheduling like, FT or PT, IC status or employee etc. I would like to find a company that is pretty flexible. Also, what platform do they use? I have worked at some like you were saying, took forever to get the line count and I want to work 8 hours and be done. Oh, do you have benefits, and what are they like if you have them? Thanks for any information you can give..
No, but I will email the Moderators as soon as I find the email. You know it's the truth, Becky.

Administrator- could you email me. I never posted that message about Netmed, yet it came to my email
address and I figured it out when someone from Netmed contacted me about my post. Is it possible for someone to steal and use your email address to post things. I thought there was some validation in place.
I am reposting email address, not sure why you cannot email me. nm
nm
They email everyone a copy of the newsletter. Email and ask
and they will email you one if you haven't been receiving it.
tried to email you but your email is invalid
?
Is there an email address I can email them at. nm
:
Why email me? You want people to email you. NM
.
I tried to email you but it said your email is invalid. Can
you email me please.
The email said the owner as she is the owner of the email software package. sm
We got the list from AHDI. If someone does not wish to be on our email list, there is a link to click on at the bottom of those for opting out. We immediately remove those that click the link.
We also have a few mailling going out. Same thing - if you opt out of the email program, we will remove you from all contact.
We need transcriptionists for many new accounts and have ads on here and other sites, as well as several magazines. We are going to need over 100 MTs in the next 3 months due to new accounts and more work on existing accounts!
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.
nm
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
OSI and Intellitype
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.
