Just in case anyone else is having a similar problem; I just spoke with the ES technician and was told that with Runtime Error 424, this was a typical first time loading problem, and all I needed to do was to go the directory where the files were loaded, find the Word file labeled EditScript Headliners and delete it. He said I should have no further problems. I'll let you know...

EditScript loading difficulties
I am supposed to be starting on the EditScript software today, but I can't seem to get a report loaded. I installed it using the password I was given by my vendor, but I seem to be stuck on the 'Initializing Your Dictation List.." window. I can't seem to access anything from the blue open folder. I have never used this software before, and this is the second time I have had problems getting in. Any idea what I did wrong? I get a "Microsoft Visual Basic Runtime error '424': Object Required" message every time I load it. What does that mean? I have tried to reboot, but I get a red box that warns me that if I exit the system this way, I will either not get paid or other people won't be able to access the queque. My vender is unavailable for comment.
P.S. This is my first job!
If you were having difficulties
at your job and were treated the way we are I am sure you would be right here on this board complaining too.
We have whined to MQ and they DO NOT CARE. You have just as much compassion as MQ does - none.
It is not so easy to just get another job. Can I have yours? Do you want to switch places?
If you donot want to hear us whine and complain, DO NOT CLICK HERE.
I will be leaving as soon as I can find another job. I have been with them for 7 years and it is just not that easy no matter what you think.
Yes! I was having hearing difficulties last year due to ....sm
ear infections, and since my other headphones were old, I dubiously spent the money on the Bose -- of course, you have to be working with decent files to begin with, but my, they truly cut down on any noise distortion, background noise, very crisp and clear...now if we could teach the docs to ENUNCIATE!
Header infor difficulties
I've been on this account that I have for over 1-1/2 years and the rules they keep a changing. I'd been going back and forth regarding date of service versus date of discharge and finally this week got an explanation that actually makes a modicum of sense so hopefully now I'm doing it right according to new rules. Doing headers/pt info is sometimes the hardest part because accounts are so picky and they're always changing. Don't stress too hard about it. Five reports a day doesn't give you much exposure to it either. Practice makes perfect and all that. Good luck!
What are you loading them into??? sm
Not sure exactly what procedure you're following. Could you be more specific?
Red Cross site having "tech. difficulties."
Now that's a surprise! Everyone keep trying.
Loading a wave file
Can someone help me? I just got a Infinity pedal to play wave files and I just loaded Express Scribe's free download.
Here is my question: I get my files via an email attachment, so how do I download it into Express Scribe. Do I have to save the attachment somewhere else in a word file or something and then load it from there? Hope this makes sense. Again, I'm new at this so anything will help. Thank you in advance for the help.
my pages loading fast
no problem
I have had a similar problem when loading the program--sm
I found that I have to absolutely have every other program I have closed, including my email. Sometimes I have to load it more than once before it will become effective. Just my experiences.
Are you loading your pics to a host site? NM
NM
Well it said there are no drivers or anything else and I have no idea about loading a driver.
It works fine in DQS so I dont know about this. I guess I will just forget the job because it is a very long test and to do it with key controls is horrible.
EditScript help
I am about to start working for a company that uses EditScript. I need to know if a USB foot pedal will work with it. When I looked at the foot pedal they said I have to have, I have the same exact one except it is USB. Does anybody know if this will work? I really don't have the money to spend on a new foot pedal, and I use a laptop for work that doesn't even have a 9-pin serial port.
Thank you in advance!
Editscript
Is anyone using this program. I just started it and it seems to be good - the first voice recognition that I have used to date - just wondered what others thought since this seems to be the way of the future in MT.
editscript
I think it is slow but that is only my opinion.
When you are in editscript...
Click on the eyeball on the toolbar and select the pedal tab. You can adjust the bounceback time from there.
EditScript...does KS use this? sm
It seems to me that is where I have seen it used, by KS. If so, then...ST works with it more or less. Not as well as it works with ExText or MedRiteXL, but it will run.
If you are not working for KS, then I don't happen to know one way or the other. Works a treat in ExText.
Editscript
Has anyone had trouble downloading Editscript because of MS Works being on their PC? I'm getting an error msg and I don't know how to get around this...Thanks 
EditScript
 Does anyone know if you can use a game-port pedal on EditScript or if you have to have a serial pedal?
EditScript
Does anyone use dialup? I am in a rural area and cannot get dialup at present. I have been trying to download EditScript and I am having mega problems. Anyone else in the same boat?
editscript
Editscript is I guess you would call it like a platform. Voice recognition editing is when the report comes up and you go through and listen to the doctor to catch any mistakes that are in there.
Editscript V8
With the account that I work on, they did something to the program to make it so that we could not copy and paste within a document. Maybe this happened to your account. The only copy and pasting that can be done, I have found, is after the job has been uploaded. Then, I can search by dictation ID in the database. Once in view function, I am able to copy and paste using the same Ctrl functions as in Word.
I don't use Editscript myself...sm
I can totally see where you wouldn't be able to afford to upgrade though. I have Windows XP but I need to upgrade to a newer Word. I am using 2002 Word. I am starting to have issues with Spantel using this version. I can do the work but I am having little issues. I can't afford to buy an upgrade though. I don't know, maybe I can get a used copy of Microsoft Office. It doesn't have to be 07 just a newer version than I have. I will have to check on it. You are not alone in not being able to afford upgrades though.
EditScript
The line count SUCKS big time on this.....When I worked on it, did a compare in regular word, I got WAY MORE than what Editscript gave me. It is not Editscript, the company can configure it to NOT count headers, demo info, etc. The company is the one doing it!!! Any way to cheat us MTs out of anything, that is what they do...When I see ads for jobs stating they use Emdat or Escription. I just pass right on over it.
EditScript
I have used EditScript now for 3 years and have noticed the same thing. The software is missing simple words and a lot of reports are just a mess. I agree with a previous post that part of it has to do with the skill level of the MTs working on the account. I work for a company that likes to hire new grads, so I think that might explain some of the formatting issues and incorrect phrases I encounter daily. It is very frustrating.
AVG and EditScript
I am using EditScript MT version 8 and have the paid version of AVG in my computer. Works just fine.
EditScript
I am working with Version 8 and still have Version 6 on my computer. I just downloaded 8 when they sent me the instructions and left 6 there just in case. There have been a lot of problems so far with 8, but I imagine eventually it will all be worked out. Then maybe I will get rid of 6. It's kinda like when you hold onto something in your house forever; the minute you junk it, you will need it. I guess that is why I haven't gotten rid of it.
AVG & EditScript
I work for eScription, helped in the development of EditScript, and work on the platform daily. I use the free version of AVG and it works just fine with EditScript, so I can only assume that the paid version will work, too. In fact, I think it works much better with AVG than with the others (though the last time I tried Norton's was a few years ago).
Hope this helps!

Editscript Help
Hello,
Just wondering if anyone out there knows how to get the expanded toolbar in Editscript in the work queue????
Thanks :)
Alt+= in EditScript
What happens when you highlight your word/phrase and then type Alt+=? Does the Add Entry window not show up? Or is it blank?
If it is blank, try doing Ctrl+C to add it to the clipboard before hitting Alt+=.
Editscript-Escription - Jay, sm
Jay, do I still use a foot pedal with this software? What is the difference between editscript and escription? Sorry for the questions, but I have never used this platform before...Thanks!

eScription/EditScript
eScription is the name of the company. They make a dictation system which takes the doctors' dictation files and runs them through a voice recognition engine once they reach a certain level of accuracy. At any given time, there will be some dictations that have to be transcribed from scratch and others that need to be edited.
EditScript is the name of the TRANSCRIPTION component of the eScription system, the part that you as an MT would use. It does use a foot pedal, yes. It integrates with your MS Word program so you can still use your AutoCorrects, macros and expanders.

Problems with Editscript...sm
I work on Editscript and when I log on and click to download jobs nothing happens. All it says is to please wait jobs are being downloaded. I can't seem to get any help regarding this and I am going to pull my hair out! Does anybody who works on this platform know what the problem is?
EditScript help needed.
One of my accounts is stalling out when I'm logging in when it gets to the downloading latest contacts. The other two accounts are working fine. I tried deleting all the TPL files and have reloaded it a couple times. Any other ideas?
What are they paying for EditScript?
Just curious.
EditScript & eScription
eScription is the company with EditScript. They do not take over departments. The hospital will contract with them to use their software and servers, etc. EditScript is voice recognition software. They do not take over departments.
However, there are some transcription companies who are certified ES users and will try to bid for the department or hospital's work.
Please know that not every hospital or department who uses the EditScript platform outsources their transcription work to companies or anyone else for that matter. Recently, many have been keeping their transcription in-house and training their MTs on the new software.
I hope this answers your questions.
EMR is an electronic medical record. Most companies are trying to sell their software to the healthcare industry as EMR. Paperless records so you could be visitng in Alaska, have an accidnet, and the doc could pull your chart up from the hospital in your home town, like New Jersey, etc. instantly.
Hope this information helps.
oops, it is actually Editscript
Sorry, I am new to posting.
Question for MTs using EditScript (sm)
Anyone out there using a laptop compatible with EditScript MT? I want to order a Vostro. All opinions welcome. Need to be sure the footpedal works along with an erogonomic keyboard to be able to work while traveling.
eScription/EditScript
My favorite platform.
EditScript & Smartype
Does anyone know if EditScript and Smartype are compatible? I just purchased Stedman's Smartype, but I don't want to install it if it isn't going to work with EditScript.
Thanks!
eScription EditScript
Does anyone know what the standarized definition of a line is when using the eScription platform (EditScript)? I understand bolding and underlining are not permitted, so that has been eliminated from the line count. How about two spaces after a sentence? Has that been eliminated from the line count also? How difficult is it to confirm your line count that the software is gathering for you? If you partially edit and partially transcribe a report, does it separate the two functions and provide individual counts? Thanks!
Another question -- EditScript
If you insert list of recipients into the report from the hospital directory, does the MT receive credit for this in the line count? Are any of the demographics included in the line count? Thanks for your reply.
Another eScription EditScript
If you had to transcribe a report on the eScription platform instead of edit, would you be able to use the AutoCorrect feature in your Word program, or another Expander program, or are you using the Word on the eScription server and would an expander program be available?
I was offered 2.5 cpl for editscript VR....sm
I have a year exp. I think it is kind of low. Said they give raises after 6 months if satisfactory. I need the job so bad I think I may have to take it. I have a part time already but not enough work. I need something to work on when no work in my other job. I can not get a job anywhere else because everyone wants 2 years exp.
EditScript (see inside)
You can use autocorrect while typing or editing.
Probs with Editscript
One of the companies I work for have recently switched over to Editscript. I have been moving and have finally settled down and for the first time this week attempted to type. The company says that you have to buy a special footpedal that goes with the software. Instead you have to use hotkeys. I could not even make my way through one dictation without giving up. It is so hard not being able to use my footpedal. Has anyone else had this kind of problem? 
editscript works only ........
with DSL or Cable internet, satellite or dial up will not work....that's what companies tell.
editscript crashing
I just got a job using editscript with 2003 and it took out my whole computer!!! EVERYTHING. Did that happen to you? The tech guy at this company said it wasn't anything they did. I have had my computer for 3 years and never had anything like that happen before. I'm just curious if that is what happened to you.
editscript/escription
Anybody ever having trouble downloading EditScript on initial setup? I get so far and the templates will load but the next part that lists the providers won't and I get kicked off my provider (VZ wireless air card). I have been told that they do use this for the laptops, so that shouldn't be an issue. Just didn't know if anyone had any possible suggestions. TIA!
Editscript problems
I have not had any work from the client since July but I bumped into someone who works in one of the departments at the facility and they sort of complained to me about the quality of the reports lately. I told them I hadn't done the work but they continued to rant about the poor quality. I told them it was now Editscript. So it looks like Escription/Editscript is lacking something. They said words left out and misspelled words were a big problem. Now you can say it is up to the Editor to fix it but if they don't hear it, it can't be fixed. Also I'm wondering if the corrections are holding after the report is closed out. Anyway they are not happy, just FYI.
Editscript/Escription ???
I have used Escription when I worked for TransTech. Now I have been offered a position with a company that uses Dictaphone VR. I thought Escription was a Dictaphone product. Does Dictaphone have more than 1 platform for VR?
Editscript and footpedal
The company you work with should give you the instructions.
I only know that Editscript works together with the Escription software that you can download free from the internet.
I assume you have the 9-pin serial (Com) port footpedal.
You have also to set the right port on your computer:
Click on Control panel/footswitch/serial port/Com1 or Com2.
