Smartype in EXText
When you are signed out of EXText, you have to go into your regular Word. In your Smartype menu, go to Smartype Preferences (Cntrl 2) and select the box/option for Start Smartype when Word is started. The next time you are in EXText and it brings up the Word document, your Smartline should be there and your suggestion box at the bottom of the page the way you are used to seeing it. You will just be missing the menu at the top of Word.
I should have explained this part before, I thought you were only looking for the menu. Sorry about that!
I hope this does the trick for you.
I use Smartype and the ExText expander

Smartype into EXText Toolbar
Anyone know how to get the Smartype menu added to the toolbar in EXText?
Smartype in EXText toolbar
ST works great in EXText but you cannot add the menu, unfortunately. Use Cntrl 3 to add a word, Cntrl 5 to delete a word, and Cntrl 6 to modify a position while working in EXText. You cannot add a smart block while in EXText, so you will have to do that when you are logged out (or use the ESP Expander for blocks of text).
shorthand works great
I use ShortHand with Meditech and it works great. Used it for other programs as well.
Now I dont care for Meditech but that is another story...
Yes, it is Netgear. Works great,
but I should warn you it has a glowing blue light on top ... not a constant soft light, but a gently pulsating, sort of roving blue light that is reminiscent of something from the Star Ship Enterprise. Not quite the blue lights from a cop car, but still annoying if your office lets any light into your dark bedroom.
Yes, dialup works great with Bayscribe sm
Yes, dialup works great. I can type as the voice file is downloading. When you look under settings in the Bayscribe player there is a modem and broandband. I have mine all the way to modem. I have had no problems although I really miss DSL, but love the fact I can work without haveing to wait for long voice files to load. I don't have DSL available where I live.
Good luck with your new job! Hope it works out great! nm

Line counts not great on ExText, IMO.
No idea why but seems to be the case for me.
They use Dictaphone ExText. It's a really great platform.

I'd sure like to know how to get a great line count on ExText.
nm
Great incentive plan, but based on speed/lph not total lines produced. Works if you are fast.

Just checked line count for another GREAT Extext company

Great place - ExText is easy to learn and user friendly. Good pay. Nice, COMPETENT people.

Smartype
I use Smartype with Extext and it works fine. It just automatically came on when I went on Extext.
Shorthand/Smartype
Hi: Only Shorthand is and they recommend it.
Stedmans Smartype
I know that Stedman's Smartype works with Word and will work with ExText on a limited basis. Are there any platforms out there that Smartype will work with?
Smartype not in menu
Well, how do you turn on Smartype if it isn't listed on your toolbar?
It's similar to Smartype. Words pop up at the
if you see the word you are typing, you can hit enter and it puts in the entire word without you having to type the rest of it.
Is Shorthand or Smartype compatible with

Anybody running Smartype with the Medware MeriT program? (nm)
Any Amphion people use smartype or some other prodcution enhancer?
Does ShortHand or SmarType work with the company DiskWriter's system?
:)
9cpl and 11 cpl for weekends. Use ExText. My ExText version wasn't compatible with theirs

Webmedx fits that bill, great company, great benefits, great pay and always on time. NM

Great company, great boss, great account!!!nm

The platform is Word. Their program works with Word but does not change how Word works. nm
The benefits just changed the first part of this month. I don't have them but I remember them being reasonabl for a single person. Family and spouse was not reasonable in any way (in my opinion).
System great, pay good, everything great, but most managers from old Edix, problems, poor people ski
when you are out of work, you are out of luck. If you are good at brown-nosing, are tough enough to be without any self-esteem, and have maybe money coming into the household on the side in case you tick someone off, then you may succeed, for a little while.
Don't ever ask questions or have problems with anything. Don't ever have a problem. Don't think you will have any control over anything you do, either.
A few 'good' managers remained when I left, but the new ones were all from the old Edix, and were completely into numbers, cared nothing for individual MTs...if there is work, you BETTER be working. If there no work, you will hear nothing, no one will help you.
You are pathetic! I have a great life, loving family, work for a great company.
You might want to fix that.
You really don't have to shout (angry person), but yes you are wrong!!
That is my last word to you!
I will add that getting a great pay check every other Friday from Medware really puts a huge smile on my face.
Oracle is great. Bayscribe is wonderful great line counts.
The trainer at OTI will always answer any questions about the platform and if you have any problems they have already worked them out, so just ask. Good luck!
YOG - Lots of work, great office staff, great money. NM

Loved Alltype! Great management and great accounts.
wah - i miss it there!
It's a great company -- lots of work and great pay. sm
 Web site is www.mditrans.net. If you need anymore info, feel free to ask.
AXOLOTL - A GREAT COMPANY WITH GREAT INSURANCE
Axolotl has AWESOME, AFFORDABLE insurance. Family plan medical and dental costs a little over $300.00 MONTHLY. They also pay for family plan vision in its entirety. STD, LTD, 401K with match and flex spending account, great PTO and HOLIDAY pay. OH and paid downtime in the case you run out of work, which doesn't happen often!!!
Great pay, great benefits for 11+ years..sm
I've just started with this great company (eMTS). I have 11+ years of experience and I was started at .10 per line as a regular employee, not IC, with a huge sign-on bonus, full benefits, very nice people, and a good account. So far, this is the best experience I've had in my years as a transcriptionist. Unfortunately, I don't believe they're hiring more right now, but you could always check in with them, they're online at eMTS.com. The management seems to really care and they work with you.
Great company, great boss....
I use to work there. The dictators on my account were really good. They use Emdat/Inscribe. Pay on 1st and 15th by direct deposit.
That''s great and I've heard they pay great as well.
I just have heard a lot of adjectives for a few accounts - zinger, killer, impossible, etc., and I sure know I couldn't hack it there. But I'm sure they know what they are getting into when they sign up.
Probably someone who works on...sm
a variety of (or all) accounts and interchanges regularly to help with backlog. I previously worked for a company and they called it something else but basically the job description was someone who could work on any account at any given time and worked on accounts as needed (no specific primary/secondary, etc.). The place were I worked paid these MTs a higher rate.
yep, works well. nm

Here is how it works
Review resumes as they come in. Separate into two piles. Immediately respond to all unqualified MTs with a simple email. Even if it is 100, it will take about an hour - no need to respond to follow ups to those, if any. Next, reply to qualified MTs with a simple email telling them resume was received and the next step and to email you when that step is completed. This may take a couple of days, tops! Everybody deserves a response, even those not qualified. It is called professional courtesy. Please. All recruiters do is recruit. It's not that difficult!
I know someone who works for them
From what I understand she is very happy there. If you have the experience, you probably can ask for 9 or 10 per line. They will negotiate with you. They are a growing company, management is nice and helpful, but a little slow getting everything off the ground, it took a bit of patience on her part to actually be up and working. They do outsource but never has run out of work.
What works for me is this:
1. I tell people who know I work from home that I am not to be disturbed unless someone dies or the house catches on fire, NO exceptions, NONE.
2. I screen every call and NEVER answer the phone until I am finished for the day. I also pick up any messages at that time. If the school needs to call you, can they call on another line? If you answer the phone every time it rings or even listen to the messages you will never get any typing done, trust me. :-) I have found VERY few phone calls are true emergencies.
3. Explain as best you can that you are paid on production and when your fanny is not in your chair you are making nothing at all, so you can you borrow some money when your bills come due?
The bottom line is that if you do not treat this as a *real* job then no one will respect your wishes. If you had a job outside of the home and were on the phone all day long or had people dropping by to visit all day I sure bet you would be fired! It really is tough to put your foot down, but you can do it!!!
Who works for TTS currently?
I have been offered a VR editing job with TTS and would like to here from people who currently work for them. Yes, I did see the postings further down on the board about TTS and that is why I want to hear from current TTS VR editors.
What I want to know is how many lines do you get a day and many of those lines are actually VR lines and not typing lines? Also, how many lines do TTS require their MTs to have a day? Do you use a 9-pin foot pedal with the sticker on the bottom that reads IN-DB9? Do you have dial up internet connections? Lastly, do you feel that you are making more money with VR editing and saving your hands/wrists/arms too?
Thanks

Anyone who works for
TransTech - Will we get paid before or after the holiday, since our pay date is 5/28? 
I know someone who works there....
and she is NOT very happy. She is definitely looking elsewhere. They must be pretty hard up for MTs since I keep getting a recruiting postcard from them in the mail almost every month!
They will - it's in the works
nm
no, that's not how it works.
