Any companies using Word or Wordperfect
tired of the web based programs and lost reports. Are there any companies still using Word where you can just type into the Word program already on your computer? Those were the good old days.:) TIA
Don't know, but similar to typical and very easy to learn. NM

Wordperfect
Does anyone know of any companies that specifically use Wordperfect? Thanks a bunch.
WordPerfect companies
Are there any good companies out there that employ ICs from home that primarily use WordPerfect? If Word could prove to me it's better, I might consider switching, but I honestly don't think it's better for what we do. Don't want to get into a debate about that, BTW,  but just curious as to what companies might be a good option.

Thanks to everyone who replied!  Keep 'em coming! ~~~T.J.
WordPerfect - LOVE IT
I made hundreds of lines more in less time on WordPerfect than I do using Microsoft Word. As far as I'm concerned, Microsoft was the ending of my money-making days. I guess if you never worked on anything else - you have nothing to compare it to - but I would work on wordperfect again in a minute if i could find someone who still used it.
Can Wordperfect quick correct can be imported to
I'm stuck, big time. I have tons of entries on my quick correct on Wordperfect 12, but I have to switch to Word 2007. Is there a way to import them from Wordperfect to Word 2007?
I would be forever grateful if someone can help me figure this out ;)
Thanks so much!
I love it. It is fast, easy to learn and easy to use.
Anyone know of a company, easy clinic work, easy Word format, dependable pay? Help!

It's easy to learn...
Not sure what kind of advice you're looking for... I don't think you should be freaking out. It's the best platform I've ever used and it's very easy to learn. I'm sure this isn't giving you anything helpful, but not sure what you want to know.
I usually do it the hard way too, but I learn the easy
way in the process usually. We have to remember that computers are only machines - LOL.
Bayscribe is very easy to learn.
The training lasted about 1-1/2 hours, but most of that was installing it. The trainer went over a few functions and the rest is in the manual, which is very easy. I went from DocQScribe to Bayscribe without any problem. Bayscribe doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles, but it works well. Everything is on 1 screen (all the demographics). I have no problem making my counts on it.
I found it very easy to learn and like V8 even more. sm
I felt comfortable within a half an hour. The demographics are even easier on the version 8 (newest upgrade) and most of them are filled in for you with very little need to make changes. Once you learn the shortcuts the editing becomes second nature. My suggestion is to practice them one or two at a time until your fingers do them automatically and then move on to adding to your shortcuts and eventually you'll be using them all as second nature as normal typing. I do about 90% editing and 10% typing and I'm happy with that mixture, sometimes more, sometimes less. I make more than double my lines with editing so the decreased pay per line equals more than I do with straight typing. Of course there are days that are the exception and I get a lot more edits than usual and it brings my counts down but on a majority of days I will do about 550-600 lines editing and typing about 220 lines per hour, on a comfortable working hour.
Their platform is easy to learn...
Softscript's work interface is three-fold: a proprietary report client which downloads, uploads, and retrieves ADT; an audio player in the background; and MS Word which automatically opens the report for you--all you do in Word is type and save. I don't see why Instant Text wouldn't work; MS Word itself has a similar auto-replace function as well.
The platform is Scribe. EASY to learn and use.
The line count is straight 65 characters with spaces and you can see your count which is important to me.
Today is supposed to be my day off. I needed to do a bunch of errands and catch up and do closets. So far, it's almost 10:30 and I have been on here all morning! I need to scoot!
very easy to learn - good platform
I have worked on a few different platforms and this one works well. Very explicit account specifics as well so it makes it much easier to do your job.
Love Ex-Text - easy to learn
nm
Platform is fairly easy to learn, pay is
low/average, trainers/supervisor are helpful (at least the ones I've dealt with have been), bennies 35+ weeks.
This is Dictaphone's ExText and very easy to learn. Have

Platform super easy to learn
I had heard horror stories about SoftScript before I accepted the job (realized you can't believe everything and took a chance). I gave them a shot and have been thrilled. The platform is super easy compared to some of the other Nationals I have worked for. Pay is a about 8 cpl, but that seems standard for Nationals. Tons of work.
I would recommend SoftScript to anyone and I have worked for the worst, MQ, Transcend, Medsribe, etc.
easy to learn, but not good for productivity
.
Medrite is very easy to learn, transcription friendly...nm
xx
Just started it last month. It is nice and easy to learn
as long as you have experience with ExText or ExSpeech....All the things I thought were flukey with ExSpeech have now been corrected in EX Editor. You will enjoy it.
I had a similar situation, but it was the OWNER doing the easy stuff herself. Yes, I left.

TT has plenty of work. The platform is super easy to learn and
I'm not having any trouble at all making good line counts doing ESL discharge summaries. Super nice people as well.
ChartScript easy to learn/use/good line count?
Please post any experiences you have had with this platform. Also,does Diskriter provide good insurance and have plenty of work?
Is it easy to get required line counts?
Similar. ExText is Word based. I prefer it to Meditech for ease of use.nm
s
Great place - ExText is easy to learn and user friendly. Good pay. Nice, COMPETENT people.
nm
Word-based, expander included, easy to use...NM
NM
Do they use MT-World software? Is it Word based? Easy? Productive? Thx. nm
s
Work is easy, very nice owner, pays weekly, work in Word.
Platform very easy and quick - easy to get used to. :)

The platform is Word. Their program works with Word but does not change how Word works. nm
The benefits just changed the first part of this month. I don't have them but I remember them being reasonabl for a single person. Family and spouse was not reasonable in any way (in my opinion).
small to medium company that works in Word or Word-based program - email me. nm
nm
ExText is integrated with Word. Auto correct is a part of Word.
ExText is a Word based platform. When the page opens for you to type the document it will be just like you are typing in MS Word.
anyone work for Oracle - do they use Word or a Word-based program - e-mail me nm
nm
Just wanna work in Word - need company that works in WORD! nm
nm
Their program works with Word and does not change how Word functions. sm
You use your own expander. Overall I feel it is user friendly and I like it.
Does the Emdat platform use Word or is it Word-based? nm
nm
Word for Word Medical Transcription
Pros and cons please.
In his ad, he's asking for Word Perfect, not Word, if that matters. nm
s
The platform is not Word, but it is Word-based. I
had little Word experience and the recruiter told me to try to find a book to learn the basics of Word as their program is Word-based.
Now I wish they would just call me back......no word no word and
What is up with these MT companies that advertise. They don't even answer. I have a great resume, tons of experience. I'm confused.
Yes, very similar. (sm)
I think they are interchangeable, meaning if you save a document in Word Perfect, you can open it up in Word (on the newer versions anyway). I used to prefer Word Perfect over Word, but now I like Word better. But, yes, they are very similar.
I just went through something similar
about a month ago when I left a big national to work for Keystrokes. I was apprehensive about it at first but now I wonder why I didn't do it sooner. Good luck!
something similar
I had something similar happen when a former employer did not pay the insurance bill for a month. It sounds like this is what happened to your company, although I would be concerned that they told you they would reimburse. Does that mean they don't have the money to pay the bill?! Something weird is going on, and I would ask a lot of questions.
I would never tell anyone to get a different job, but I personally think that everyone should have an updated resume at all times.
Let us know what happens, okay? Good luck - I hope it works out the way you want it.
OSI has similar
plan, which I read in the fine print of the employment papers. It said that I would only be paid minimum wage if the client did not pay. It was unclear as to whether back pay would be made once the client did pay or if I would never receive any more than minimum wage if the client NEVER paid. So, I turned down the position. I'm really surprised that I have never read about this little detail on these forums (regarding OSi of Georgia).
Actually it's very similar to
what's going on here. It's about dishonesty being punished so the rest of us have a fair shake. In other words, management not doing anything about a cherry-picker is as bad as saying It's ok honey. Go ahead and cherry-pick.
Similar situation here..
That gal has some serious issues. I agree with you to each his or her own. Maybe you have to have something in common with her...i don't know. Just glad i found an editor position elsewhere.
My experience similar - not my cup of tea! nm

Similar situation here
I think I was "hired" at the end of June. Every step of the hiring process took at least a week. I am now still in "training." There doesn't seem to be enough work for me to practice on. I expected to be FT by now. I finished by DQS training the 1st week in August; got a telephone survey yesterday from MQ about DQS training, which really blew my mind. So concerned about the adequacy of the training and yet there's no work. Frankly, I think DQS is a piece of cake and don't know what the big deal is.
If I had quit my old job when I was supposedly hired, I would be SOL right now. I'm tempted to look elsewhere but as a newbie, I don't think I'm going to get a better line rate anywhere else and the benefits seem to be good.
