Yet, second company thinks it should work and not mess up other platform (sm)
Posted By: Same here on 2006-07-17
In Reply to: Has anyone ever tried using 2 platforms on the same computer? - Hoping this will work
I will feel better when the actual technician sees about loading it. Not that the recruiters don't know their job, just nervous.
I had others report they are using 1 computer for 2 different companies and maybe having to use a second pedal. Let's hope we are lucky.

Me thinks it isn't the platform...
that causes the problem, but the company you work for that controls how the lilnes are counted!
I'm sure because the work is coming back a real mess..sm
These companies think they can breeze by with their overseas MTs, and sure they can if they have enough back up by seasoned US MTs and editors. Once the proportion becomes unbalanced, and they have more overseas MTs and less US MTs, the mess will start to pile up. It really does not take a rocket scientist to figure this out. In time, it will come back to kick these companies in the rear. That's why I always say an experienced MT makes a much better transcription service owner because they would never put themselves in this situation; clearly able to decipher fantasy from reality and not just the big $ signs. I am not referring to this company, but any MT company in general.
Is Transcend a good company with a good platform to work on. They are advertising.
:
Pay is always on time, direct deposit, very nice management to work with, and DQS platform, work
load normally busy, but low now because of the summer slow down on my accounts. Sound an issue on some accounts, but not others. Overall, wonderful company.
Looking for a company with a platform that SM
allows you to just log in and work throughout the day with no set schedule, just a line committment.
Just would like to gather a list of companies like this.
Thank you!!!
I like the company and platform it's the
dictators, account specifics and every changing workload that drives me nuts!
MDI is a mess
Work kept running out, system went down when there was work, have to make lines when you can (which is whenever you can), and they tell you nothing. Bottom line - no way to make a living. No, nothing good to say. Look elsewhere.
mess
I began working for Cymed in October last year and was loving it until SPI took over. Now there are staffing changes all the time. I can't get anyone in HR to call me back and when I do actually get someone on teh phone, I am told they no longer work here. Phone numbers are disconnected, e-mail are retruned as undeliverable, etc. The icing on the cake was when the contact for the account I have been working on was not renewed and now I am out of a job. NO WARNING WHATSOEVER!!!!!!! I signed on to work this morning and checked my e-mail and low and behold, the account will no longer be with SPI. SPI is saying they will try to place me on another account and I can apply to the company who has taken over my old account, but other than that, it's a good luck sort of thing. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr. Do they not realize people need to know these things in advance? I have a 7 month old baby and no help. I cannot afford this crap. A fellow employee has told me this is not the only account they have done this on. My advice is stay away from SPI at least until they have stabilized a bit.
She seems a mess to me

Just a mess - sm
See this page, below, on further info regarding SeaScript. I am staying far away.
VR a hot mess
I can type faster than editing the hot mess that VR puts out. And it does not learn at least not the way they portray it. Yes, there are those out there who claim they love VR but those are people who had worked for the same facility before it went VR and they were accustomed to the docs, demographics, etc before they even started. And don't get me started on that! Bottom line, most of us can type faster than edit because of the mess it makes and the time it takes to clean it up and don't tell me differently and expect me to buy it. 
I have been here for the whole hot mess...
you specifically said you would hate to see how she and her house look in response to a comment saying you need to represent yourself at your best at all times. You even somehow equated that to decency. As I read it, this all stemmed from the fact that, in your words, she used MT's incorrectly 10 times.
Meanwhile, in your perfect posts, you have misplaced a comma, confused a hyphen and an apostrophe, misspelled catastrophe, and you have been superior, mean-spirited, and rude. If a decent person is decent even when no one else is watching, where does that leave you?
She is not asking about the "Sten-Tel platform" she is asking about the company in MA.
They are not a chain. You need to get your facts straight!
Company's proprietary platform (sm)
I make normals out of everything. I consistently do 300 to 450 lph now that we can speed up the dictation.
As that company uses their platform would imagine
they had just built a working relationship and so brought her/him on. SoftMed has undergone enormous changes since last fall - lots of layoffs - sorry you are having so many probs!
It is not the most MT-friendly platform, that's for sure, but if the company sm
is a good one, I wouldn't pass it up just because of Meditech. I am using it for the first time, and after a month I no longer loathe it like I did, but I cannot honestly say it is my favorite. It IS rather clunky and antiquated. Fortunately, ShortHand works as an expander, so that helps, and one of the pluses of the Meditech system is the ability to access lab, medications, other reports, etc.
Good luck to you. I am sure your trainer will have some helpful tips, or at least I hope so.
Me thinks you think too much!!
 Thus, the problemo!
SHE thinks she's the only one who knows how!
 who is that unqualified for the position she's in. You're either SD herself or someone she put up to posting this nonsense because she's definitely an approval seeker and would be horrified to know that she wasn't fooling anyone. Keep shoveling. I find it amusing.
Better thinks about it
They don't pay for spaces. They fine you for mistakes. Everyone is mood at that company. Horrible experience working for them. Better think about it.
Nothing yet. Am I the only one who thinks this is odd???
When companies switch insurance plans, they do it months in advance and not keep working on it long after their insurance is canceled.
The OP thinks she is SM
being specifically singled out for bad treatment because she **dares** to question them. Completely ridiculous. I know all of us would like to believe the world revolves around us, but the reality is that an MT that questions my corrections or feedback is barely noticed by me.
Just like MTs, our working conditions have deteriorated over the years and the majority of us have the same priorities as MTs, getting the work out the door and keeping the office off our back.
you are a complete mess!!
ewwwwwww!
Focus mess
Amen brother Ben!! My situation exactly, never could get started, the trainer worked in India, well his time and my time of course never coincided. Told them times to call to get started and he would call 4 or 5 hours later, and it was night my time, so never could get started, and glad I found JLG!!!
No, I am NOT an MTSO. in the mess just like you are
In 2006 I grossed 55,000.
In 2007 I grossed 42,000.
In 2008 I grossed 35,000.
And each year I worked MORE hours to make less money.. go figure..
It is just that you cannot get paid more than the clients are willing to pay the MTSO.... SIMPLE ARITHMETIC
I had a mess with them, wouldn't do there if they
before I was supposed to start, they hit me with all this crap about needing a 3rd phone line, a fax machine, all kinds of crazy junk they didn't bother to tell me in advance. I had dialup at the time and that day, after 2 months of reassuring me that dialup would work, they said dialup was being phased out within 6 months, which meant I'd be without a job? Don't think so!
Their 9 cpl accounts are a mess, and should pay
*
Front end VR is a mess
A radiology group went that way and they had to hire more IT people and one more MT to fix it. Not as successful as one would think. EMR point and click takes 20 minutes versus a few seconds to dictate. Plus more IT people.
That's silly. Its a typing platform, not a company!
Many companies use it, or used to use it. I even said that I knew people weren't lying about Vienetta out of job worries as the company I was going to work for was a 2 woman local office run out of a garage. Lots of MTs educated me about Vienetta on this forum, and they weren't my competition at all! Nor am I out to keep the original poster from taking a job using Vienetta. Just shared with them the info that was shared with me a while back. Shame on you to imply otherwise.
Company that uses MS word insteadof their platform.
Did a search, did not come up with any. TIA
Anyone know of a company that uses a very easy platform with templates...
and lots of fill in the blanks? I am trying to find part-time work that doesn't require a whole lot of typing because I have pregnancy-induced carpal tunnel syndrome. I still have several months of pregnancy left and I still need to work, so my only option is to find work that requires a lot less typing! I am just happy that this CTS is usually only temporary! I do wear wrist splints and take frequent breaks during my shift but this provides little relief. If you know of companies that use easy platforms with templates, fill in the blanks, cut and paste, etc - please let me know! Thanks in Advance!
Love my platform...hate the company
I currently work for DSG and love DocQscribe.
I am working on Extext platform for another company
huge difference in line count, same type of reports, same hours. I can nearly double what I did there in the same amount of time. I don't know quite what the problem is but a lot of people have complained about it and we still haven't gotten an answer to our satisfaction. I have talked to people who left there and who posted their story here and elsewhere and they got a threatening letter from the company attorney. Absolutely no grounds for this, folks are just relating their experience.
Company and Medrite platform info.

Crappy company with crazy platform and
Great platform, horrible company
NM
I don't know anything about the company, but the GEMS platform is awful! sm
Cardiologists use it, and it is time-consuming and cumbersome -- not MT friendly! But I have not used it for a year or so, so perhaps it is better now. Good luck!
Me thinks somebody is a bit paranoid.
I've worked other places and I've never done as well as I have at TT. I doubt they pull the bull you state.
For me, I planning on being there until I retire. I think you should back up your info with FACTS, not RUMOR.

I do not agree -- they can struggle through the mess just like everyone else. sm
Someone will never learn to do the difficult dictators if they don't tackle it and send it in to QA with a gazillion blanks, if necessary. Only way to get experience. At TransTech, you can look up sample dictations of any dictator and obtain other reports on the same patient and sometimes get a better clue as to what the doc is saying. Unfortunately, many people nowadays seem not to want to take the time to learn and grow. It's easier to just slough it off on someone else. S
Sorry for the bit of a rant. I guess it is just one of my pet peeves. I started as an MT over 30 years ago, learning on the job at a teaching hospital with hundreds of ESLs/residents/etc, and I would go at home at night and CRY because I thought I was going to get fired because I couldn't understand what they said, but my supervisor worked with me and gradually I was able to make my quota. There are still horrible dictators that make me cringe when I hear their voices come on the line, but it is unthinkable to skip over it and just take the easy stuff so my coworkers can do the dirty work. That's not teamwork.
And now, she steps down from her podium ........ (smile).
I was incorrect. ETC did not mess my friend over.
Her money was wired into her account since the deposit was done nicorrectly. They are very reliable. I'm glad to say that only TRX has messed with my money or that of a good friend. M
I apologize for the mess, I actually was stupid
Yes. It is the most unorganized and chaotic mess I have ever seen. nm

Trying to find company(ies) using the BayScribe transcription platform?
I left them to go with another company using the same platform and I made tons more..
It has to be in their line counting and they must not pay for spaces, headers, or footers even though they claim to. I did not know the difference until I switched company. I was shocked that I made in 2-3 hours what I struggled to make in 8-10 at Focus.. As far as I am concerned, they are a huge rip-off and on top of that, they have their Indian QA people checking your work, and if it does not meet their standards, you pay is docked. It was quite disturbing to say the least.
Webmedex is a great company but their platform is terrible.
That is the reason I left. Too many screens to enter simple imformation and too slow switching between screens. Platform is such a big part of our production.
who's happy??? Not everyone thinks you are the cat's meow.

What a minute, one thinks it is fast
and another thinks it is slow and cumbersome. I'm confused now. Can you give details please.
What an idiot this person is. Thinks he has all
the answers and really doesn't have any of them. He doesn't know who I am and cannot comment on anything about what transpired when I worked there.
I have absolutely no reason to lie about my experience with SS. It was a horrible place for lots of reasons and I'll tell anyone who asks about the company my experience to spare them the headache. IF my QA scores were down (how could they be I was in QA), if I didn't stick to my schedule, etc. and got fired I would admit that also, but none of it happened - I QUIT and H did beg me to stay. I know it is hard with all his sliminess to believe he could beg, but beg he did.
