 Are there ANY decent companies to work for who have totally MS WORD based platform for the work... i.e. you can use the autocorrect and/or some other word Expander than shorthand?
I have HAD it with these nasty platforms that are from the dark ages... worse than WP5.1. meditech, chartscript, docuscribe stuff, bayscribe ......

Yes, and actual Word clients in platforms sm
like MedRite XL, Extext and MTWorld and there are a couple of others. Whatever platform Keystrokes uses, it works there too. I didn't know if DocQScribe was one of them.
Anyone know what platforms/companies besides Q...
will utilize dial-up as well as the cable/DSLs?
Which companies have fast platforms? sm
A platform that you can zip along on and produce. Any input very appreciated. Not looking for comments on those with slow platforms.
Are there any companies left that do not work on platforms?
I have five years' experience but have never worked on a platform before. I have worked straight out of my own version of Microsoft Word and am nervous about my productivity with learning a new platform. Can you still use Expanders with platforms? Any info would be helpful. Thanks.
Which companies have Vista-compatible platforms?

Know of any companies that use C-Phone and MSWord (no internet platforms)?

Foot pedal question for anyone who works for 2 different companies with different platforms?
I work full time for a company where I use a USB port foot pedal (front of computer) and have an offer to do p.r.n. extra work for a company where I would need a 9-pin serial port foot pedal (plugs in back of computer). Have any of you done this before? I'm wondering if I can keep both foot pedals plugged in at the same time since they are different types, and be able switch back and forth between jobs without having to unplug one or the other. Would be nice to just plug it in and tuck the computer under the desk without having to drag it in and out every day. Has anyone tried this before? Thanks!
The companies that pay by the word don't even pay 1 cent

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
Companies that use word and FTP transfers
Does anyone know which companies are still using Word and transfering documents and voice via FTP? Thanks in advance.
I think it's mostly very small companies that use ftp/Word anymore

Any companies offering just plain Word and upload to FTP?

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

Just wanna work in Word - need company that works in WORD! 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.
3 in total, 1 FT and 2 PT..sm
Originally took on another PT local doc to cover daughter's competitive cheerleading costs. Then, hubby got laid off last fall and took on another national PT to help make ends meet. He now is employed elsewhere, but still have late bills, not to mention never want to be in that position again. Trying to pay off all the bills!!! Feels like I work round the clock, but really don't with lots of breaks and extreme flexibility to work whenever and also be with my kids whenever (and be their chauffeur, mostly!) Good luck to you, it's hard but there is something to be said for security.
Does the Emdat platform use Word or is it Word-based? nm

Could be because of total lack of sm
professionalism and loyalty to those she worked with if indeed that is true. All I ever heard from her was talking about others behind their back. I never met anyone other than from one other one there who went long ago that did that and it is the worst case of management I have ever known.
Look at the total package
Sometimes a great incentive program more than makes up for low CPL, also a good program, good dictators, how many templates and normals you can get. I knew someone who consistently did over 2000 lines per day and did not work more than 8 hours, doing mostly OPs with ESLs, but they all said the same thing, used formats. She just had to keep making her normals and inserting them. They said the same phrases over and over, so she made big bucks. Once she got used to them, it was a breeze and she was consistently one of the highest earners.
I would just keep checking other companies. I am sure there is something out there for you. Don't give up.
In total agreement
with the poster who stated that being overweight, most of the time is due to overeating because of emotional issues. I am such a person. I am 160 pounds overweight and emotional issues led to my overeating. Surgery will not take these issues away. I was 200 pounds overweight. I have been undergoing counseling and have joined Nutrisystem, where I also receive a lot of support. A long haul? Yes, but I would much rather go this route, then risk my life in a surgery with no definite outcome.
total lines
I work on extext and that is the way it is done for me to. Just shows total lines for that hospital. But you can get the total lines for a certain period not just that day.
well, IMO total disgraces!!
ridiculous to offer a whopping six cents a line!!! Wahoo!! Are they out of their frelling minds. You get what you pay for and six cent quality is what they are going to get. UGH!! SHAME ON THEM!!!
That's my question. How do you know the total is right?
I'm a TT newbie, so please don't take offense. For the other companies I've worked for you can see the number of reports in the final count, including work types. With TT, I see a client breakdown with total lines. If there's a report missing, I have no way of knowing. If there's a way to do it with Ctrl I, I can't figure it out and can't get an explanation. I don't check every 5 minutes, but I do check my line counts a couple of times a day and this has always helped my production. I don't understand why this is so complicated. Am I doing something wrong?
total agreement
MTs can make the $$ exactly how you stated using expanders. I also stay in one specialty field with the same dictators... but you must be focused on your work and with no expense on gas or clothes, that all adds up to money in your pocket.
Any fool knows that VR is a TOTAL RIP OFF.
How that can be slander, well, only in the mind of an MTSO. Don't want the MTs to realize they are being taken with these LIES about VR, now, would we?
I had 4 accounts total
Primary plus 3. There were times that there was no work in ANY of them. Funny thing is that the *Backlog* would show a certain number but when I'd go in to get reports, there were just a few. Then my primary would get gobbled up by people working on east coast (I'm west-Pacific time), so there has been lack of work in the past 3 to 4 months.
Cross-training did help but the ship had been sinking for some time without our knowledge.
My new gig has no weekends, no holidays, NEVER any VR. No pool, I'm the only MT on the acct. Full-time employee after 90 days, bene's (10 PTO a year) after 1 year. Regular 9:00 to 5:00 Clinic schedule.
Like musical chairs, have to find a place to sit once the music stops or....
My total hours were 85 of which 7.5 were OT. Does THAT satisfy you?
I draw a line at telling you my earnings, however.
No communication at MDI-FL. Total chaos.

They're total flakes. They don't know what end is up.
.
no it doesn't track total for whole day
you have to do each document individually, but also keep in mind that it counts ALL lines, both typed and not typed. So be careful of that, if you aren't getting paid for blank lines.
It depends on total years of
what work type. You can actually make more than 8 as an employee if you make the bonus. I do acute care and make 8 plus the first level of incentive which is an additional 1/2. That is for 1400 lines per day. Some days I make the 1400 and some days I don't, it just needs to be 14000 in a 2 week pay period. There is actually a level above this one too, for 16000 in a pay period.
At MedWare, too, can't do it. You'd have to log in after every report to get a total, but
s
I pay $140 a month total for $500 deductible-WMX
MTSOs like you are total tools.
Try treating your MTs like valuable employees, and not expendable machinery, why dontcha?
Name your source and the total quote
Its irresponsible of you to suggest that Obama (or McCain for that matter) wants to put records online implying they could be unprotected.
So name your source, and the entire quote and then WE can determine what the position actually is...
Again, there is a total lack of reading
I don't even know who you think I am in regard to the comments you are attributing to me, I think. I never said that I was against attacking, I never said whatever mumbo jumbo I think you are accusing me of. I stand by my analogy of your behavior as a child in a sandbox. And you're now at the throwing sand stage, soon to be followed by the I'm gonna tell my mother on you which would be in this case, of course, the moderator. The OP gave a very nonemotional and intelligent synopsis of her opinion on hostility on the board and others have responded in kind. It was not an attack, the post was not a complaint, the post had no mention of not wanting to come here. You have 100% completely misconstrued the entire thread and are, indeed, the nasty one telling a poster to move on and go to lovey forums, etc., topped off with your attempt at a final insult of Cheers, or don't let the door hit ya on the way out. Now, do I have to explain this post to you? I think you get it, but you don't like it and just want to stir up the sandbox some more. We were all playing just fine before, not to worry.
8 cpl, national, 10 yrs acute care/15 yrs total

10 total years in the medical field, 8 as a MT.nm

Total waste of time and money
No doctor or hospital even has heard of CMT. It's just crap made up by the AAMT to line their pockets with application fees.
Can you tell me does it keep a total tally of your reports instead of just one at a time. I would
like a line counter that does it by the day or week actually.
Because I compare the total lines to my paycheck
nm
not to mention being discourteous to your co-workers this comes across as being a total ah
:
It is actually the total character count divided by 65 sm
not the word count. To answer your question, yes, the total character count with spaces divided 65 should equal any line counting program, provided you are paid on a 65 character line count with spaces and headers and footers are not included.
Counting in Word does not include headers or footers.
My counts match those in Word.
It will also depend on how your company/facility manipulates the system. It seems the same program will count lines differently depending on the facility or company. It is not the program - it is the facility or company.
Been at this 25 years and investigated into many counting problems with various programs. When I realize my counts are off, I leave. There really is no way of knowing until you actually start working on that specific platform. Monitor your counts daily for a few days and see if they are off. Most likely, if they are, it will not change.
I'm not the OP, but I had 3 files. I am not sure of the total number of minutes, sm
but it took about 1-1/2 hours to do, and that was with going back to the beginning of the dictation and re-listening and proofing each dictation. Hope this helps.
What a total and utter waste of time
If THAT'S how they're handling it, just email Transcend directly and cut out the MIDDLE-MAN.
The two suits on here Wednesday left their email addresses. Just email them directly if all D and C are going to do is check with them for the answer.
We have important questions, and I believe we've let D waste MORE than enough of our time.
What bothers me the most is making total fools out of us to sit and
wait on work. That really gets to me. I think we all discussed this before but to expect people to sit around and make no money waiting on work to keep everything on the second is absolutely bizzare and then complain when you dont get lines in. Well, wheres the work.

Pros and cons please.
In his ad, he's asking for Word Perfect, not Word, if that matters. nm
