I work on Bayscribe and do 2000 lines per day routinely, sometimes 2500. I know many MTs who do this on various platforms. I think it has more to do with years of experience than with platform used (although I must admit I loathe DQS). Please don't worry, your productivity will increase over time.

Productivity of MedRite
Anyone experienced with MedRite? Is this productive for the MT or time-consuming. Thanks
Softscript productivity, etc.
I was looking on here to see if anyone had any suggestions about improving productivity with Softscript. I have been there 3 months and am now literally working 12 hours a day because of the things that have been mentioned; the time spent looking up account specifics and physician names, or trying to get a question answered. There are a few good people there though, and I was hoping with the addition of Brenda Hurley maybe things will get better. I am an ex-MQ'r and the biggest advantage I see with SoftScript is that they do not change your accounts from week to week. I have had the same 2 for 3 months. I have 13 years experience and they did give me a little better wage, but NOTHING CLOSE to the 12 cpl I got with the first MSTO I signed on with many, many years ago. I'm afraid those days are gone. 
escription productivity
How well eScription works for you has a little to do with how efficiently you navigate around in the report and a lot to do with the dictators and how well the program types up the report in the first place (meaning, does the report need few corrections or a lot?). This depends on how well it was trained on the account in the first place. If it was trained on the account by a relatively small group of good MTs then it should work pretty good. Productivitiy also has a lot to do with the dictators themselves. If you have a super slow talking doctor that you could type as fast as listening to, then that will hurt your VR productivity. If you have a doctor that jumps around a lot and confuses the program, that will hurt your VR productivity. If you have a clear doctor who speaks fast and eScription spits out a pretty clean report, then that will help your VR productivity. How well eScription does with any particular accent of any particular doctor depends a lot on how well it was trained in the first place by the MTs. If the MTs were able to understand the doctor and give a solid report then the program will learn well and probably do well. If not... well, you get the idea.

MT Productivity of system used by Wedmedx
MTs currently working with Webmedx, please respond on your productivity with the Webmedx system. I would greatly appreciate your response.
Also, would like response on sound quality.
Thank you very much.
Hard to get your hours in and keep productivity up
To get a decent line count, you have to clock out when you're not transcribing. That means clock out for EVERYTHING not transcribing.
The result is you're writing/responding to email off the clock, studying account specifics off the clock, etc.--in other words, doing a lot of work off the clock.
This keeps your line count okay, but it also makes for a very long day. It's a real catch-22. If you get a good lph, you probably didn't make the hours or put in way more than your required hours to get there. If you made the hours, you probably didn't make the lph.
Sound quality varies. Have some lousier ESLs with Webmedx than a lot of places.
Software is good, aimed toward MT productivity, but for the reasons mentioned above, this may be a moot point anyway.
Look at the archives. It's interesting to see the wave of interest over various companies. Seems Webmedx is rising in interest once again. Take a look at the opinions a while back, though. You'll get a clearer picture if you don't just go with whomever is popular at the moment.
How 's productivity working in this compnay?
xxxxx
I did ask that, it would increase accuracy, productivity, TAT....sm
She took me off one of the two clinics so now I only have about 35 docs and maybe 10 specialities, but I believe this is only temporary since I am having trouble familiarizing. I just get the impression that I am not up to par where I should be and I'm surprised, as I'm a quick study. And to pour salt in it, my two QA people on our Messenger List notated next to their names yesterday that they were typing ___ and listed my account name. These ladies only type when backed up. So I think I'm bogging them down:( I feel so inadequate, and for less than 8 cpl. Oy.
productivity...long message sm
Wow, congrats on 10 years of experience, a great schedule, rare interruptions and very good work habits! Sounds like you should have no problem being more productive! It also sounds like you just need to work smarter not harder. Let Word do more of the work for you--use simple macros (page setups and jumps), autotext (templates and normals), autocorrect (long strings of text, single words with suffixes, special function codes e.g. semicolon and the ALT+ keys), autoformat (quick bold/underline), try to stay away from the mouse (use KB shortcuts), resist the temptation to go back to fix typos on the fly (but remember to spellcheck!), take a quick break every hour to stretch and drink water, set two timers--one for how long you plan to transcribe before your next break and the other to limit your referencing time or Internet playtime--5-10 minutes max? (i use CoolTimer freeware), set payroll/weekly/daily goals, temp save frequently, proof 1x, leave blanks if you must (you have nothing to prove and nothing to gain by dwelling on the difficult!) Hope this helps! =)
Here's the productivity tools site
https://secure.bayscribe.com/expander/
I wish I could help you with transferring the expander, but I can't. MIne doesn't work in Bayscribe (I use Stedman's Smartype) so I type it in Word and then cut and paste into Bayscribe.
Good luck with your expander!
Question re: your amazing productivity
I have read a couple of posts now which stated that working with Chartscript decreased their productivity tremendously. In all my years as in the biz, Chartscript is all I've ever used and it makes me wonder if that is contributing to my lack of productivity. Also, I am interested as to where you can work to make the type of line count you have - I think I'd throw myself a party every day if I reached levels such as that!!
How is MW's MeriT program as far as productivity goes? just curious
easy to learn, but not good for productivity
