EXText and Transnet
Has anyone worked on a system utilizing a VPN client and Word Client before? The voice player is called Transnet, but Word Client appears to be EXText. This seems to be quite a complicated process to learn. Anyone else have problems with this in the past?
extext word/transnet
OSi and Trans-Tech use that platform.
ExText Transnet Player
First of all when the player comes up click Alt+T to keep player on top. Next click Alt+M to remember position.
1. Alt+V = Volume. Move left/right arrow keys to increase or decrease.
2. Alt+P = Play. Move left/right keys as above to increase or decrease.
3. Alt+A = Auto backspace. Same principles as above.
4. Alt+R = Rewind.
5. Alt+F = Forward.
Hope this helps.
So are Dictaphone ExText and Transnet the same thing or somehow used together?

I believe Transnet is how ExText is connected. Easy to use. Most demographics are

Transnet
Transnet is a program, usually provided by the company/hospital as they usually pay Dictaphone for the cost of the licence. You would need a wav pedal to play files through your computer.
transnet (sm)
click on icon for transnet at bottom of screen. When the little box pops up, do you see a more to click? You should. Click on more and then there is a way to make it louder, softer, more backup, less backup, and I think it is called play rate. Do you see this?
I have used Transnet before...sm
You do need a special footpedal in order for it to work.
Transnet
Right right, slow for transcription too. I got paid 13 cpl using Transet and realized why the pay was so high, because the software is sooooo slow and I got nothing done. I make more money now on a different account with less pl rate. Good Luck. I lated almost two years.
Can you use an IN-DB9 with TransNet?
Anyone know?
TRANSNET, NINA
What is your situation? I work with Nina when she needs my help.
I'm going to be using MedTran and Transnet
Any info on either system would be appreciated. TIA!
Transnet/Exttext
Does anyone use this software on a laptop; if so, have you experienced any problems with it? Thanks!
Dictaphone TransNet
Dictaphone TransNet is voice file player software that installs on your computer.
You need a foot pedal and a boomerang attachment between the foot pedal and your computer to control playback. It attaches to a USB connection on your computer.
To use it, you establish a secure connection with the Dictaphone server, jobs are downloaded to your TransNet program, and you transcribe the files. When done, you sign the jobs off and they show in the server as completed, and other files will automatically download as they are available.
Any other specific questions, let us know. :) Good luck!
9cpl and 11 cpl for weekends. Use ExText. My ExText version wasn't compatible with theirs

Dictaphone Transnet question - sm
Brief overview of Dictaphone Transnet? What equipment/software would you need to buy? Thank you!
Yes you can - go on Transnet playback rate
nm
Transnet is just the Dictaphone system SM
you use to download voice files from a file server on the Internet - you can adjust speed, volume, backstop, etc. The client/MTSO assigns dictators to you, just simply sign on, download, and type away.
Little box for transnet player question. (sm)
Is there a way to move this box up to the top of the screen and out of the way of the document so you can leave it open while typing report? Hate to call Tech support if it is really something simple. I tried to just move it, but can't seem to get it done.
Any help appreciated.
Transnet Player Not Working
I have a USB pedal, which normally works with just about everything, but cannot get it to work with the Transnet player. When I manually click on the play arrow on the player itself, it plays, but not with the pedal. What could be wrong?
Need some information on Transnet system please (sm)
There is something in the archives from December 2008 basically telling how the pedal works. What I want to know is, since the jobs are downloaded does it take longer to get the reports? Has the speed of downloading the jobs improved since 2006? From what I read in the archives it takes forever to d/l jobs but that was a couple years ago so if anyone is using Transnet, please let me know if it has improved any and what your general opinion of it is. TIA.
Is anyone working with Nina of Transnet out of Florida?
Just wondering on your situation...to compare to mine.
Thanks.
Dictaphone Transnet extremely slow.
I've been doing QA work using this Dictaphone Transnet system, and it has got to be the slowest software I've ever worked on. I'm sure it's probably OK for typing since it downloads 2 jobs at a time, but for QA, it's really slow. I spend more time waiting for the job to open than anything.
depends on acct. Some Lanier, some dictaphone, i.e. Transnet nm

Post from Sept. says Need to buy your own TransNet pedal & you're NOT connected to the net

I was told needed special foot pedal for Transnet,

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
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.
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?
