NM...

Are you required to give feedback even though paid by the line?
If so, I encourage all QA folks to STOP taking these by the line QA positions when you are required to spend your time providing feedback for which you are not paid. Every company that does this is cheating you. And there is absolutely no way I would QA on DQS/QASAR while being paid by the line. Rip off.
That makes sense...I always give positive feedback and am very pleasant...
and have even had compliments given to my supervisor from other MTs about my job doing QA that I am pleasant...but I understand your frustration about some QA feeling they are better than others...:)
Can anyone give feedback on BeyondTXT such as user friendly, productive, etc? Any comments welcome.

Ichart does not give us the # of reports, lines per report,
but does give a pretty instant line count, most of the time. However, that counter is set which ever way the MTSO wants it to be set. They have complete control of that setting and what the MT is paid for.
At least, that is what I was told. Inhouse we could use Ctrl I at anytime to get our exact line count -- true line count with every stroke counting.
Good luck to you and please report back after you're working with them to give us

Platforms
DocQScribe is the best platform in my opinion - it's MT friendly (whether the company is ripping lines or not is another, ah, truth). Really, though, just what were they thinking when they came up with BeyondTXT!  Good Lord! eScription is good too.
They have many platforms
Some accounts do require a C-phone or a Lanier and others are wav files. I do Radiology but they do have acute care and clinic. They offer FT, PT and IC. They are not as flexible as other companies I have worked for but they do try. I would rank them at the top of my list of companies.
Good luck!
They have 2 platforms, one of which is much better
If it is for the account I think it is for, it is the easy platform with good sound quality. I would look into it further before you make your decision.
Does MDI-FL have other platforms
besides Meditech. If so, what are they and are they user friendly?
Do you know what platforms they use
for radiology? Pay usually by
line or exam? Dictators?
I believe that they use two platforms. sm
I work on the newer platform (TAe), and Instant Text DOES work with it just fine. =)
Platforms
Hello all. I am the owner of a small (but very busy) transcription service here in the U.S. and am considering purchasing my own transcription platform. I currently lease the platform that my MT's are using. I would appreciate some info from anyone that is working on a web-based, non-FTP, MT friendly platform. I know that most larger transcription companies have proprietary platforms, so I am looking for one that I can purchase ready made. Any help is appreciated!! Thanks!
May use other platforms, too. sm
Chances are Sten-Tel is the platform you will be using but have known companies that use Sten-Tel that also us other platforms, also. They are telliing you to keep track of your lines using the work count feature found under tools.
They have several different platforms.
I only work on their eScription ones though.

It seems like anymore each company has their own platform anyway, so I don't think it's a big deal as long as you are a quick learner.
there are several platforms; which one are you on?

Not with platforms but know of a few with FTP. sm
Smaller MTSOs that do clinics and private practices typically have the M-F hours, but they don't often have platforms.
different platforms?
Does Webmedx still give you various platforms to transcribe on depending on the account.
Platforms
So when you say (i think it was Jill?!) you don't work for a company that uses platforms, what do you use? Just email? I am new to this, so bear with me please. Also, what do you do when you want to quit one company and go to another? I would want to give a notice, but isn't that hard, trying to do the 2 jobs at the same time?! Any info is appreciated.
I have 3 different platforms for 3 different

That's what I was going to say. Some platforms,
I heard of that with DocQscribe, for instance. But with DQS, you can safely copy & paste from Notepad, which strips out the formatting codes. So I've sometimes C&P'd something from Word into Notepad and then into DQS in order to circumvent the formatting/printing problem.
Can you say which VR platforms are best? sm
I have never done VR but I'm sure I will have to pretty soon, and I would like to know which of the VR platforms are good ones, and which are bad, from someone who has actually done it.
VR platforms
I think EditScript is the best platform I have used for VR. For one thing it seems to be more accurate at picking up dictation (what the doctor is actually saying and not a bunch of garbage) and not picking up asides (like the doctor greeting someone who comes in while he is dictating) Also you almost never have to take your hands off the key board and use the mouse There are short cut keys for everything I have averaged between 300-400 lines an hour and sometimes as much as 500 lines an hour. You can also speed the dictation up to 150% or more and it is not garbled.
Platforms
Are there platforms that consistently:
1) record a line count that matches what you show your line count to be
and
2) function with minimal technical issues.
Anyone willing to provide specific and honest input on SoftScript's platform?
There are a few different platforms (see inside)
Here is what I know:
They have a different platforms, depending on what the hospital uses. They also use Beyond Text, which Transcend uses. Personally, I have been on BYT and while I like it, I prefer AIM.
They also have Meditech and Dictaphone text platform.
New To Emdat, Platforms, Etc.
Could someone please give me a brief tutorial on what to expect with national transcription companies? I am familiar with the .wav files, but am not exactly clear on the terms, Emdat and platforms. Is this just the method by which you pick up your dictations? Also, if you have your own Autocorrect/Autotext dictionary, are you able to use that as opposed to the company's? Any advice and information would be very much appreciated. Please E-mail if you can. Thanks!
Platforms are proprietary...
...and based on account. To my knowledge, there are three, distinguished by version number: 3.5, 3.8, and 4.0. This has come about through Spheris acquiring other transcription companies and assimilating their proprietary platforms.
I work on TWS 3.8. It's not bad, but it could be better. The Expanders are crude and it takes some time to build up a good collection of them. It won't correct for capitalization, i.e., changing the first letter of the first word of a sentence to upper-case a LA MS Word and other typical office word processing programs. It can be a bit crashy at times. Still, many people do very well with it, and I can't fault the training provided--though keep in mind, I was trained three years ago. There may have been changes since then.
Hope that helps.
And out of 3 different VR platforms, their BeyondTxt
Bad sound quality, way too many problems.
Junk platforms
Yep, me too. Walmart, here I come!!! lol. I think I may do well on the night shift! After all, I'm used to it!!!!! HEEEE
Anybody know what platforms Keystrokes
uses for radiology?
There are different platforms, but TWS is very slow, even with

Has anyone ever tried using 2 platforms on the same computer?
Unfortunately, my one job is not doing it for line count but I love the account I have now, so I have also secured a second job with another company part time. The problem may be that I have a platform in my computer now for the first company and the other company has a different one to install. I did inform them of the software I am using now and they won't know if it is going to conflict until they do a review. If it won't work, I am going to have to buy another computer, which I have found locally that is being sold for a really good price because of some cabinet scratches. I am also told I can purchase a special switch which allows me to use one keyboard and one monitor for 2 computers, as well as a router for DSL so my Internet connection can also be utilized for both. I am so hoping that I can use just one computer for these jobs, as to save myself about $550, especially since one never knows how a new company is going to work out. Has anyone ever tried this? I would sure appreciate it if you could tell me how it worked for you. I realize different programs may or may not work, but was hoping someone has already had this experience. TAT!
I have multiple platforms
I have Emdat, ExText, and Bayscribe on my computer. No problems here. I think it just depends on your computer's processing speed and RAM
I have both of those platforms and everything works well. nm

Not all of MDI-FL is escription, they have many platforms. nm

Keystrokes platforms
For all three of my accounts at Keystrokes I use high-speed DSL, which is a requirement for many platforms.
MT-friendly platforms
You have read my mind. I love good old Word and sound files on Express Scribe. Still looking for more clinic work. Had a great gig and lost it due to another company typing for cheaper. My former MTSO raised her rates and lost a lot of her accounts. I am with a national now and I am not liking it very much.
Transcription platforms
I am not sure this approach will work for you. A company can have a good platform but unfriendly work rules and/or poor pay. A company can have a less sophisticated platform but friendly work rules and/or reasonable pay. Add to this that the good platform may be proprietary and not found anywhere else if the work rules and/or pay are not to your liking. I agree that the sophistication and ease of use of the platform are important, but using that as the sole criteria may not lead you to a happy situation. Personally, I admire DocQScribe very much, though not the speech recognition module, but as far as I know, that platform is proprietary to MedQuist. Best of luck in your search.
Transcription Platforms
Anyone have any suggestions on a platform our company should use?
Thanks
Many different platforms and accounts...sm
KS is a large company with many different accounts, different platforms, and I would guess scheduling flexibility could vary from one account to another. Then throw in the fact that line production can vary from MT to MT -- well, it's too broad a question to answer with specifics! I would be search the archives, though, because there is a lot of KS information to be had there.
What platforms should I stay away from? sm
I recently worked with a company that uses ChartScript and I quit because I hated it....VERY slow! I have heard that Meditech is not much better. What other platforms should I watch out for??
There are different platforms for different accounts. sm
The oncology account is new. It uses Allscripts which is very easy to use. I am going to be on the ortho end of the same clinic.
They are changing platforms and we will all be
