Transcend has Escription and EX text. Medware has ex-text.
Deventure I know has Escription but I am not sure if they hire PT or not.
Usually a spelling test, a punctuation test, and maybe 3-6 test files to do. Sometimes done using

I took a test for a company and my foot pedal would work with the test and I had keep going back
over the dictation time and again to get all the words because I couldnt stop and start it by the foot pedal. What can I do about this.
Just took the test myself. No actual dictation to transcribe. Just a written test.
For 13 cpl, I might do it if the dictators aren't a total horror.
I just took the test today - thought it was a great test of MT skills.

There is no written test. Must have been a different company. I took their ortho test sm
and it was easy. You had to know your terminology but it was easy to understand AND I used my foot pedal.
Is the test through mttest.com a timed test? Thanks. nm
PS about Ex-Text
I don't think it is Ex-Text that makes it hard to get lines, it is the way the company has Dictaphone set up the line count on their web site. But why work for a company you have to contantly make copies of your reports and reverify the line counts to make sure they are not cheating you? We are not paid enough to spend another hour at the end of the day to double check your line counts. You can do that and then fight with them but believe me they are going to win because they hold all the horses.
Ex Text
You can get your line count counting by the Word program counter within the program itself by clicking on tools and then scrolling down to word count, however, this is not how ExText lines are counted. There is about a 20-30% difference per report LESS with their way of counting. The company sets the way they count lines and they don't match up. Also, the sessions function in the program is BLOCKED. You have to go to the Dictaphone website to get a total line count, but no break down of how many reports or how many lines it counted for each report. Even using a word Expander program and typing as fast as you can, I think the average person can probably only make 800-1000 lines or less per 8 hour day on this system, may even have to work longer to accomplish this much. I myself am worn out and totally disgusted that a company would call itself anything less than a big cheat and shame on them!! I am moving on out and believe me as soon as I find something else, I will blast this company on every board I can find.
Ex-Text
The company that I work for says that you cannot have two versions of Ex-Text on your computer.
Text only
Transciption Relief Services (TRS) does not do VR. They have decent accounts, no pay issues, good benefits except the medical insurance decuctible is a bit steep ($1000) good communication and grew a lot during the year I was there. I left recently over some personal issues. They were set for new accounts over the summer. When I left a month ago, they were a bit low on work, but not as bad as some. Still, I think it might be worthwhile to check out their website since they don't always advertise.
Beyond Text
Does anyone who has used Beyond test find that it is extremely slow, even the ASR is slow add to that an ESL and your almost at a dead stop? Please tell me how it is for the rest of you???????????????????
Lee VR to TEXT
Lee,
I will be more than happy to tell you. I more than doubled my line count with VR and still did not come out ahead. I would rather type it myself using my ShortHand and templates (much slicker). VR cannot figure out what ESLs are saying any better than I can, in fact a lot worse! Also, the other day, I had a 33-minute report (most of it instrumental music). If you can believe this, the VR typed paragraphs of jibberish for the music, just unbelievable? If doctors knew what their reports looked like before we edit them, they would come unglued. Get all the doctors front-end machines and let them go to work - I would love to see it.javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','');
Instant text and OSI
When I was there about six months ago, I used IT and it worked fine. You need an expander to make any money there....and still not easy to make with the system/amount of demographics you have to enter.
I use Instant Text sm
I use Instant Text with EXText without a problem.
I believe the EXText software is better than some, and certainly better than DocQScribe.
I think the pay is fair -- the more difficult accounts are paid at a higher rate.
The real problem with OSi is running out of work due to overstaffing, even with backup accounts. The flip side is the bonus program for high production when the account falls behind. Seems like am employee stability problem for some reason I can't figure out.
INSTANT TEXT
Does anyone know if Intant Text has a trial version to use to decide if you like it before you buy it?
Instant Text
Instant Text
All I can say is that I have Instant Text and it has interfaced with every kind of platform I've ever connected it with. Never have had any trouble with it whatsoever.
Question about Beyond Text
At first I had a pedal that was a 15-pin that I hooked to a game controller adapter to make it a USB. It worked okay for about 2 days. Then I lost my sound so MDI sends me another 15-pin pedal and a sound card to install so I wouldn't have to use the adapter. Well I get the sound card in and install drivers after cutting off my onboard sound card. I have sound okay until I open up the DA player that Beyond Text uses. Then I lose sound and have to reinstall drivers. It happens every time the DA player is opened up. Anyone else experienced this problem? I don't know what to do now. Technical support couldn't seem to get the sound back the other day before they sent the sound card and I have put in a ticket but was just wondering if I am the only one with this problem.
Is this similar to Ex Text
.
Can Instant Text be used with
TIA!
Your text looks totally cut off to me. nm

Rapid Text
Very good
When was there an Ex-Text upgrade??
nm
I'm trying to use Instant Text.
I also have the the Saving Keystrokes book, but am so busy, don't have time to check it all out. I used to do macros back before Windows was born, but now cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to do any that work.
Hopefully, when the work is a bit more caught up, I can spend some time with the book.
Does anyone know if Instant Text
TIA
Ex-Text question, please. If you have to keep it at 100% (sm)
how do you get past the point that the print is a little smaller than you are used to. I do wear trifocals with the middle part set for computer screen usage, now I feel strained to see this print. These glasses are about 3 months old. Don't really want to have them replaced for that.
Everything else I access on the computer is fine, it is just the document on there. If I change it to higher than the 100% it is great, but then you have to remember to change it back.
Any ideas?
i do outpatient text
and I really do love it. The only thing I have ever typed before were tapes and a Dictatphone system over the phone with a local hospital group. I like the dictators for the most part, they have weeded out the extremely difficult ones and given them to people trained on those so even if I don't know the speciality I can still type the accounts with no problem. I was told that if I wanted to I could train on speech recognition in the future. I understand not wanting to switch to another account, it was just a thought. Have a great day!
outpatient text
Hi, I work on the MGH account but I do outpatient as opposed to inpatient and it is the EXText platform.
Again, I wasn't trying to get anyone upset about suggesting crosstraining, I was just wondering. What do you work on ?
Have you tried Instant Text?
I tried that with Dragon, too. Major waste of time and money. If only I had bought Instant Text then, instead of Dragon. The best way to make money in this business is to become the absolute master of Instant Text. In less time than it takes to INSTALL Dragon, you will be using Instant Text with ease. My productivity increased massively the very first hour! It's a great investment. I really, really need to reduce the mileage on my wrists, so I decided to give IT a shot, and it's working!
Instant Text
Does anyone here use Instant Text along with Extext Word Client? Thanks.
