I agree with the others -- I like ExText. TransTech uses it, and sm
I am sure others do too (in case that is the company you are unhappy with). MDI-MD uses Bayscribe, and it is also very easy to use/user friendly. Webmedx uses their own platform, but it is easy to us as well. I have worked with Iscriptor too, and it is fairly uncomplicated. Good luck!
TransTech uses Dictaphone Extext
TransTech uses ExText so you can look up MD examples. They pay for spaces, too. Don't know how mu

Transtech and DTS America use ExText, and so does eTransPlus, sm
at least on some accounts. I think I have seen ads for all of them recently, although the Transtech one was only for weekends, I think.
Good luck!
Think Amphion uses ExText. TransTech does but has mucho ESLs! nm

TransTech also uses ExText, but think they were running out of work, too. Any comments? nm

Yes, I do. Was this upgrade something that I would (sm)
have seen happening on my screen? Because if so, I didn't see anything unusual anytime. I'm really confused now.
Upgrade equipment
Upgrading your equipment, I cant make enough money to pay for upgrading the equipment! I have been sitting here all day, since 7:30 this morning, trying to get a decent line count and Im still only at around 500 lines..hardly any work all day..just about the worst I have ever seen it. If and when I decide to move on, Im gonna have to go with a company that supplies the equipment. Right now, this pay check I probably will just about be able to pay my bills and I need new tires! LOL! Well, I will be sitting here tonight till about midnight, hopefully some work will build up in the system.
what the heck is there to upgrade anyway on a DD?
nm
Well, this is a significant upgrade from SM
previous--Keystrokes will definitely now be on my list for possible employers. I think you've really opened yourselves to a much larger talent pool with the improvement!
When was there an Ex-Text upgrade??

Spheris upgrade?
I have been down for the past 2 days due to computer problems. I was wondering if anybody else has been down. Also, I doubt I will get any down time.
Windows XP - do you have to do the Microscoft upgrade? (sm)
I've heard it's flawed and am afraid to do the time change upgrade. Will it show that all the reports I do are an hour ahead? I work on Ex-Text.
It is the companies that do not want to pay to upgrade to get compatible with it. nm

You say word 2003 upgrade. Is this
I didn't have to upgrade because I had it already but if its the same company I think the QA person can use a class in learning how to deal with people without rudeness.
an upgrade? mean newer version?
This should not be an end of the year thingee seems to me. I would ask what exactly an upgrade means. No reason not to ask for the facts. Does it mean an upgraded version of MedRite or upgrade to a newer type platform or just what does it mean.

Nice people, but they need a major upgrade.
:(
It was slow before this last upgrade. Tech support is sm
wonderful as well. I don't find it slow.
Stinks, doesn't it? Seems like everytime they do an upgrade sm
the lines get tougher to get.
The solution center's memo of an upgrade to the system SM
in the next couple of weeks (not on company computer right now so don't remember exact date) includes release notes that says the issue of the platform freezing will be corrected. I hope this fixes some of my own problems.
Memo specifically said upgrade would address the platform freezing up.

Supposedly new upgrade for WordClient is compatible with Vista, per our mgmt.
We are about to do an upgrade, and they say it will be compatible with Vista with this new upgrade of WordClient. Yipeeee
9cpl and 11 cpl for weekends. Use ExText. My ExText version wasn't compatible with theirs

Well I don't work for Transtech and this discussion isn't about Transtech...
and that is not age discrimination....give me a break...
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.

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.
