EXText itself is a good enough platform, but all
What the MTSO sets EXText up to pay MT's for lines is what determines how many lines you can get, and also as you said, the dictators. You can only get as many lines as the MTSO allows you to get with EXText. They control those ropes -- tell the platform how to pay and for what to pay on each report from each facility that you transcribe for. That is the way MTSO makes their money.
On Extext platform
how many hours straight typing to get 1000 lines and how many reports?
You will want to include information regarding the platform you are on, etc.

I would appreciate any information about Radnet platform please. sm
I would really appreciate it if anybody with Keystrokes who uses a RadNet platform to please e-mail me. I have never worked on this platform, and I have some questions.
Thank you.
ExText is the platform. You are on-line and
working directly into a system. The transnet is how you receive the voice files. I've never used it so I can't help you more, but if you Google you'll be able to see what it is. As far as I know it is a foot pedal with a very expensive adapter that you plug into a USB port, but other than that I haven't a clue.
Would anyone be able to tell me how to back up my ESP file (ExText platform) to a CD.
I know they are backed up to the server, but I get really nervous having spent so much time creating them. The hospital I work for tends to run into computer problems all the time, and I just don't want to take any chances. Thank you.
Does anybody have any information regarding the HRM platform (Horizon Radiology Management)?
Any information regarding the HRM (Horizon Radiology Management) platform would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Now getting lines on Extext is difficult with clunky platform
This is their greatest moneymaker! All jobs are run through voice recognition software first, then you will do good to get your lines from the junk that is thrown-back out of Exspeech. The platform you question is set up for all jobs through voice recognition first, then spit out by EXSpeech is dictator is so horrible it cannot interpret their voice. MT's end up getting nothing to transcribe EXCEPT the junky dictators that is not speech machine quality! You are in for a BIG surprise!
There is a lot of good information...
available if you do a Google search. It's really easy to save them. The only thing I initially had a problem with was finding where my Autocorrect entry file was located on my computer because it was in a different location than most of the info stated, but I was finally able to find it. I need to save mine again, too. I would hate to lose everything.
Good Deal. Thanks for the information NM

Good platform
Much better than some other platforms out there. Once you get used to it, it will go very smoothly.
Thank you for posting this article. Good information.

My VR platform is sooooo good that
some reports are almost 100% correct, very little editing required. I have noticed, though, it gets he and she mixed up and also does not know its numbering so usually watch those carefully. I am so custom to editing now that I see words everywhere that someone should have "edited."
Webchart MD -- is it a good platform?
Hi there,
Can anyone tell me if WebchartMD is an efficient platform? I'm thinking about subcontracting with someone who uses it but would love to know beforehand if it's a good platform before I commit.
Any advice would be appreciated.

I have an extremely good platform,
and like I said read extremely fast and just easy. My VR is apparently not like others on here because very few errors and we have to catch them, cannot just do half. One will not be able to do the basic amount for work on VR IF they do not have a good platform and are not fast. I always go fast forward on audio 8 hours a day. That is the way I work.
Try this site - it's full of useful information! Good luck!

It's how the count is programmed into ExText that determines good or bad, but otherwise it's a

MS Word platform--who are the good companies?
I have been applying for and training for jobs for weeks now. I have been accepted by a number of top companies, but I have found their word Expanders to be a big problem. I have trained on a couple of sites already and ended up turning them down because of this.
By now I have thousands of entries into MS Word/Smartype, and if I have to start with a new Expander without the ability to import my words, phrases, templates, etc., from Smartype, I just cannot afford the time for the learning curve.
The technical aspect of transcription has always been my weak point, so this is perhaps a bigger issue with me than it would be with others.
Right now I am willing to take even a mediocre line rate, providing it is an employee position with benefits and it is in MS Word so I would have some hope of making a living.
Is there any hope for me? Does anybody have any good companies to recommend who work in MS Word?
We are at the point of losing our house and land. This is serious!
iChart...is this a good or bad platform to work on?
Any info appreciated. I have never worked on this platform. TIA
I heard a lot of good things about them and am looking to purchase a laptop, so your information
is very helpful to me. Thank you!
Is ExText user friendly? Can you make good lines?
I will be using a foot pedal - ? Transnet.
I'm using Meditech Magic now and I can't imagine anything being worse.
It's Dictaphone's ExText and it's good/easy, but some feel the line counts are skewed at

An excellent platform and a good line rate with plenty of work -
Then leave me alone and let me do my thing! :-)
Emdat platform?? Good, bad or ugly? Any info is appreciated. Thanks in advance. NM

MTSO with platform versus no platform (big message)
If a MTSO advertises that the MT works in MS Word and sends dictation by FTP, does this usually mean there will be no demographic/doctor database and the demographics will not be autopopulated?
I got into a mess with a small company (got out real quickly too). I was required to print out daily email copies of the doctors' office patient schedules (which were barely legible) and type in all information. I spent more time hunting for the correct patient through pages and pages of these schedules. Then I had about 25 pages worth of doctor's names that I would have to go through to find the attending, referring, etc. A total waste of time as I didn’t get paid for that.
I wish MTSO would give more information as to what platform they use (if any). Proprietary software is such a generic, totally useless description. Would they buy a new car that listed, "Car has gasoline operated motor?"
And for Pete's sakes, why so secretive about the pay? Give a ballpark figure. Just say, pay is between 7-12 cpl depending on skill, testing, etc. Tell me if you pay for spaces, headers, etc. It would save them time because I wouldn’t even apply for a 7 cpl job.
Before I spend an hour or two testing, I need more information from a company to be sure it is compatible for my needs. If the MTSO would spend a little time on their website detailing their platform, how they send/receive files, pay rates, how line rate is determined (spaces/no spaces) employee/IC/SE status, minimal line count, whether work pools consist of 100s of doctors, or smaller pools with 25-50 doctors etc. Having all this information on their website would save them time and the MTs time. Phoenix Medcom has a really good layout describing pretty much everything an MT would want to know before testing with them. I am just tired of testing with a company and then finding out the job wasn’t exactly suited to my needs. 
Platform versus non-platform (templates)?
I've been working for MTSOs for years now, using their templates which sometimes cause productivity problems (macro issues, etc). I'm wondering if productivity is increased when working on a structured platform, such as one that a national company provides for its transcriptionists? I've never used a platform, but it would seem that all one needs to do is straight type onto the screen and the platform program takes care of margins, page breaks, etc?
Any thoughts (as well as companies who are hiring who use platforms) would be appreciated. Thanks
It IS ExText, Word is simply the word proccessor used. ExText is marketed
by Dictaphone with Transnet and ESP is the expansion software incorporated into it. I used this platform when I worked for the hospital. I believe Wordclient is the speech recognition portion of this platform.
Thank you. I appreciate the information ...
sounds like a way to reward those whose production and quality are at the top.
Thanks.
FOR YOUR INFORMATION
but, with a much better company and I smell management. Take that and smoke it.
Perhaps this information might help:
If you would post a clear statement of the change that is happening and what its expected results will be BEFORE you make such changes, then it wouldn't be viewed so suspiciously.
rec'd no such information
and my count has been 'below production' different times and my benefits didn't change. My supe told me way back when that only if a person "consistently" didn't make production would it affect their benefits.
Where did you get your information? nm.

information
i mentioned something to my supervisor a couple of weeks ago that I "heard" that MQ was offering extra on the line rates to new hires, which upset me, and of course, her response was you can't trust what you hear or see and I know that, but it seems like what i'm seeing on this website seems to be more reliable in some respects than what i get from MQ and like you said, that's really sad. I'm not signed up for IPay so i can't check to see if there's anything there -- guess i could check my bank to see if there's more there.
For your information,
I am not at all overweight. I would really like to know why someone who is as beautiful as you say you are is a transcriptionist?
Information (SM)
If you want to know why your posts are deleted, leave a valid e-mail address. I e-mail the poster why and a copy of their deleted post.
It is not because you have "MQ" in your moniker as a name. Otherwise, take this gripe over your posts being removed to e-mail or it will be deleted.
Don't know where you got your information-
Although a CMA is definitely not a PA, I do not know anywhere you get get what you need in 4-6 weeks. I took the CMA exam after years working in a physician's office, but the programs that I know about in this area are 1-2 years.
Any information on this anyone?
My husband came home from work hearing about something called EDTA (Ethylene~Diamine~Tetra-acetic~Acid). It is suppose to break down the minerals and heavy metals out of your body and make your risk of heart disease a lot lower. Does anyone have an information on this. He would like to take it if it true because of heart disease in his family, although I am not certain he should, as I always worry about the things they don't tell you about the stuff your taking.
Any information would be great.
Thanks!!
Thanks for the information!!!
Thanks to all for the information.
Thanks for the information.
Thanks so much for the information...sm
Final question - I checked out the website that you told me about and that explains it all. One final question - do you have connection problems with this and I guess one more question, and the true final question is the quality of the voice good on the file? Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!
I appreciate the information. nm

Thanks everyone! I appreciate the information
Thanks to all of you for the helpful information!
Thanks for that information
That is very interesting about the files not being there at all. May be I am not getting the files downloaded correctly. Thanks so much for your help!
Thanks so much for the information!!

where does that information come from?
please give links. I found nothing to substantiate that on my search
Thanks, that is quite useful information, but
you do not continue to believe that air conditioning will kill mold . . . it will not, and nowhere in the document you linked to does it even suggest that. It does provide information about air conditioning lowering the relative humidity of a home, and also that it aids in drying out wet areas (because it lowers the relative humidity).
You are not only misinformed, but also are misinforming others by posting segments of the document that are not connected in any other way than being a part of the same document.
For anyone who is interested, and perhaps does not want to go to the link or read the full text, this is what it actually says.
PREVENTING MOLD GROWTH (begins on page 2)
Page 3, paragraphs 4 and 5
Increase the air flow in problem areas. Move furniture
a few inches away from outside walls so that air
flow will decrease the problem of condensation on
the walls.
If mold is growing in closets, keep closet doors
open to promote air flow. Closets should not be overfilled,as this will reduce air circulation in the closet. Louvered closet doors aid in ventilation. Circulating fans may help with air flow in problem areas.
STRATEGIES FOR PREVENTING OR
REMOVING MOLD GROWTH AFTER CONTAMINATION (begins on page 3)
Page 4, paragraph 3
For many hard surfaces, disinfecting with a solution
of one cup of bleach to one gallon of water is effective.
The area must be kept wet with the bleach for 10 to 15
minutes to kill the mold. If the surface is porous like
wood, the bleach solution may need to be reapplied to
keep the surface wet for the required time. If large areas
of a basement need to be disinfected, a garden sprayer
can be used to apply the bleach solution to the walls. If the walls have been contaminated with sewage, increase the proportion of bleach to water.
MT Information
Hello, I am looking to start working as an MT in order to enable me to homeschool. Can you please share any tips, job openings etc?? I would really appreciate it. I am newly relocated to Lawrenceville GA from NJ. Thanks!!
Need som information..
I would like to start doing things in my own area, get my accounts, etc. I just do not know where to start. Do I type up an "introductory" letter and send them to doc offices? What kind of equipment is the easiest to do this "internet based?" I have A LOT of questions. If someone could email me, I would really appreciate it!!
Thanks
More information....SM
I don't mean a financial deduction. I'm just trying to figure out a percentage score. Here's the details.
The document is 40,178 characters.
There were two critical errors (word left out and wrong dose) and seven noncritical errors (like his instead of has, a instead of an, etc.)
How could I figure a percentage?
