Companies using Extext/Ichart
I got a very interesting email from the Ichart team from Dictaphone. I had written them because I had been questioning my low low line counts with a particular company that I am no longer employed with. They had disabled the control I feature so you could not see your session statistics. The excuse was - they didn't pay for headers or footers thus the line count not accurate. Well, fine and well, I asked for a breakdown report by report of what my line count was for each of my reports. I was told they didn't have this information, I was told by Dictaphone in this email that the administrator certainly does have this information, and that the way lines are counted varies and are totally set by the administrator (or your employer). The Ichart team did tell me they are working on getting that available on the Ichart site so you can see report by report what your line count is. I think this is the only fair way. Line counts should be verifiable for each report, not just a lump clump number. Lets say you did 700 lines like I did one time. Well, I did about 28 reports. These were H&Ps and consults mostly with very minimal progress notes. Do the math, the 700 lines just does not add up right with the # of reports. So, bottom line, if going to work for an account that uses this system beware, ask questions. There are a lot of companies out there using it and disabling the session statistics
List of companies using ExText? sm
Can anyone give me a list of companies that use ExText? Looking for part-time position and IC or employee; specialize in OPs, 10+ yrs experience. Thanks in advance!
Are there any companies who do not use Dictaphone ExText?....sm
Every company I apply to seem to be using ExText. I am tired of fighting for lines on ExText, but not sure that anyone else is using an MT-friendly platform. I am not interested though in Diskriter, Transolutions or Spheris, so if anyone knows of a company other than those three please let me know. Thanks.  
Attention OSI MT's about Extext companies
These companies use Extext and are hiring so you won't have much of a learning curve - Medware, Opti-Script (also called OSI), Amphion and TTS (Transcription Technology and Support). Good luck, you can do much better than OSi (Outsourcing Solutions). I found my ideal company.

Companies that use Dictaphone Extext?
I'm on the job search and wondered if anyone could recommend those companies using the Dictaphone platform and also hiring. Thanks!
I don' remember this as an option using ExText with 2 different companies. nm

Extext companies with plenty of work
I need to know what Extext companies have plenty of work right now and I can go work immediately and be able to download work. I'm tired of having no work and no money. 
Any Extext companies with LOTS of work NOW?
.
anyone know of companies that use Dictaphone ExText that might be hiring IC status?
any info appreciated.
What companies give an accurate EXText line count?
Either an accurate count or the option to check your own!
Does Dictaphone obtain the accounts for the companies who use Dictaphone EXText?
I was just wondering if this is the same as it used to be. Dictaphone installs the equipment in facilities and then gets a MTSO to take the account. Therefore, the MT company never solicits for accounts, but Dictaphone notifes them when they have installed equipment in a hospital.
9cpl and 11 cpl for weekends. Use ExText. My ExText version wasn't compatible with theirs
,
TransTech and Medware, are these companies considered large, medium-sized or small companies? (sm)
TIA
Yikes.. That is only inline with companies like Focus and such. "Real" companies pay their MTs
decent rate. I make over 5 cpl editing. So, if I got that slap in the face, I'd be outta there.
Do the research...most companies, and not just MT companies, do not pay for maternity leave...
we get time off but not paid...and I really don't even understand the point of you posting this...
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?
ExText
Any info on this platform? Some can be manipulated (line counts). I know this for a fact and used to work for a company that did this. Any chance of this happening on this system or is it fair?
ExText
I worked on ExText when I worked in-house, and I loved it. I verified my line counts, and they were set at 65 CPL. Very MT-friendly program in opinion.

I'm a very happy camper with them. They treat us like people. (I think the people there are hilarious, too.)
