Not using Windows-based transcription software but need macro.. sm
program that does not require one to know computer programming to use. I am using Bayscribe and it is not Windows based so am unable to use any Windows macros to perform simple things I could save time on. I checked out Auto Hot Key which sounds great but is just above my computer-challenged abilities as I know no programming language. I searched the internet and found several programs under "macro recording" but before I invest in one would like advice and opinions! Thanks for any help.
Line-based vs. hour-based requirement
Hospitals do have an hourly requirement, and generally incentive after a certain line level. MQ only has a line based requirement, which is 12,000 per pay period. The hourly requirement is strange, unless they now plan to convert to an hourly pay plan?
Are you working in DOS or Windows? In Windows, it's Kilobytes.

Medrite
I LOVED Medrite-- easy to use, could check back on reports that you typed if you needed to make corrections, and made LOTS of line on it.
Medrite
I use Medrite and have for years. What do you need to know exactly? It takes a little getting used to but once you do, it's simple. It's a little archaic compared to EXText for example but I guess I'm just so used to it that I don't mind it.
Medrite
Are you using MedRite XL? When in TES you can view Masterview by clicking on the Transcribe tab on the tool bar near the top of the screen. Choose Masterview. Under "Search For" enter the patient's last name. Next is a drop down box for "Field"....chose to search by the patient's last name or by patient number. When you see the info you want, click on the DOS you want to view. And, yes, you can cut and paste....I do this quite often.
In the main screen the Masterview is at the bottom and you can do essentially the same things as above....check doctor's reports, patient's reports. You can also view all of the jobs you've done. Where I work we go by Transcription ID.
In the old Medrite...I believe you use F9 or F3 to view the repots. And, yes, I did cut and paste. I think I highlighted the area I wanted then right clicked on the top of the Medrite screen to bring up the cut and paste feature. It's been a long time since I used the old Medrite.
Sorry if this is confusing....trying to view eamils at lunch time.
Medrite
Anyone familiar with the Medrite platform? I am a fairly new MT and a prospective employer uses Medrite.
Shorthand and Medrite-XL
Does anyone know if Shorthand will work with MedRite-XL?
Thanks
When I used to use Medrite I loved it.
I'm not sure what that person does not like about it. It was extremely easy to use.
Isn't that the pre-MedRite program
That Medquist tried to change people to and it was so awful?? There are much better programs than that one! I do see jobs now and then that use MedRite. Much less old-fashioned maintenance, and a decent spellchecker.
Shorthand and MedRite XL?
Hi!
Would anyone know if ShortHand can be used with MedRite XL? Thanks for any info!
Medrite questions -sm
I used this program once before a long time ago. I will be starting soon using Medrite. Refresh my memory please. Is it MT friendly? How can I brush up on it while I am waiting to start with my new company? Or is that even possible? thank you.
MEDRITE question
Can someone explain the master view function to me. How can I bring up old dictations and can I cut and paste into shortcuts from there? TIA
MedRite-XL question
Hit a wrong button and now I have a split screen. I can get a full screen by hitting view, normal. Can anyone help me? TIA
My experience with Medrite
Medrite is real easy to learn and to use. Where I work we can look at all old reports, not just the ones we transcribed. Entering the demographics is real easy especially if you have a patient list you can copy and paste from. My company also supplies templates, which are easy to pull up and insert. The built-in Expander is easy to use, and you can also use Auto Correct. I believe you can use other expander software with Medrite, but that depends on whether your company lets you or not. I believe Medrite is a great platform to work on, especially for a newbie, because you will learn it real fast and can spend your time concentrating on transcribing rather than having to remember how to use Medrite. At any time you can check your production, too. There is nothing complicated about Medrite that I know of. I really like it.
Medrite XL question
For those who use Medrite XL ... I have noticed that the work/break hours are often not accurate on the counter, so I am wondering if the line count is likely off then as well.
Does anyone out there have any information on this? - Thank you. 
The Medrite system I used
had the best shortcut system built into it that I've ever used. Of course, it was also the first one I ever used, and you know how you tend to fall in love with one that you're used to.
Transolutions has Medrite-they are hiring.
Lots of new openings.
How did you get Shorthand to work with Medrite?
nm
CANCEL THAT-- It was MedRite that was not very good. SM
I worked on MedRite by Crescendo. Not Meditech. I don't have experience on Meditech. Sorry, I had the name wrong.
Medrite .... whats wrong with it?
A new account uses Medrite; was going to learn it possibly. Please tell me what's wrong with it. Thanks guys !
'Splain to me Lucy...what do you want to do to MedRite? sm
The other question well...too much information.
MedRite XL versus Bayscribe
Has anybody used both platforms? I have two job offers and I have the impression that I will make more lines using Bayscribe. Also do either of these support Shorthand? Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Don't care about Medrite, but loved your photo! LOL!!!!

I don't think so - my pay is based
on my base rate of 9 cpl and then my incentive that can be as high as 2 cpl.
Nothing was mentioned about extra pay for weekends or holidays.
M, based on what you know,,,,
from doing transcription for an insurance company, what do you feel is a fair price to charge per page. The font is Courier new 12; the right and left margins are 1.5 inches - each side, with the top and bottom margins being 1.0 inch - each side.
If her job was based on that and they
found her out I guess they could fire her, but unless she is saying she is an MD or such and practicing, doubt it.
Have set up the new web-based email,
still not getting any info that you are "quoting" on this board.
Wonder why ALL MT's are not getting the same info???
levels are based on what you can
do, i.e., can you do ANY type of report or only clinic notes? the more types of work you are able to do the higher your level. Supervisor told me about levels, I think they are relatively new.
I think your compensation would be based on the...sm.
following: Your level of experience, the time that you are able to commit to transcribing each day, your use of expanders, your baseline typing skills, your ability to utilize the software package utilized by the company, your ability to adapt, and you ability to negotiate your line rate.
DOS based system
Has anyone ever worked for a company that is DOS based? I started a new job today, and their system is in DOS. To me it is really old-school, but I guess I will just have to learn.
American-based here!

What exactly is a DOS based program?
I think I have heard this is kind of an outdated platform; is it really? Also, is it anything like Word or WordPerfect, and is it complicated and slow to use? THANKS!!!
Most are internet based. $$$

Based on the definition above...
I would come away from viewing that site with an unfavorable impression and unjustly so for the name of the company as well.
I think there's a good argument for libel there.
Yes it is word-based and it is a
terrific program. I give it 2 thumbs up.
Word based.

Ask for time-based pay
You're an independent contractor. That means you can choose what you do. If an account is not productive for you, you do not have to do it. You can make a suggestion for another type of compensation.
Write out the issues with the account. Keep a log of the time it takes you to do each part of the task. Figure out a charge for that part of the report--like a surcharge for the demographics or whatever it is that takes all that time.
Present that to the service with a request that you be compensated adequately for the work. Specify exactly what that needs to be. You can do this verbally, but a written copy would be good.
They may be unaware that this account is such a problem. It may be that when you point out the issues objectively and dispassionately, in a business-like manner, they'll see the light.
If they do not agree to do compensate you, be prepared to leave. Find another job and, if you really want to remain with these people -- although I can't imagine why you would want to, other than due to inertia -- explain that you would really like to stay, but you cannot under the circumstances. Your previous written explanation of the inadequate compensation should be helpful here.
If you do look for a new job, don't quit this one until you're settled in at the new one. Even if you have to work 2 jobs a while, do so until you are sure the new job is ok. Then quit the old one.
Be sure to be very polite and give adquate notice so you can return if you need to later.
I think it was based on 65-character line
All these formulas are confusing to me. I guess I need to ask some more questions. But, it's also an IC position, so that makes a difference doesn't it? Low pay for that? But, you are right, might be good experience.
The treatments are based on weight normally.
I have a Frontline spray and it can be used on either, 1 to 2 pumps per pound, but if you have the other kind it is premeasured based on weight. Can you call your vet and ask them? The people at the front desk should be able to answer your question.
I looked on-line and there is only 1 dosage sold for cats, but it didn't say what the dosage was so I couldn't compare it to a dog dosage.
If you buy your flea treatment from your vet check out www.entirelypets.com.
You R probably right about PRD/Dos. That Cottage Prog I was on was DOS-based. I have never used
Will go check that out in case the tower turns out to be too expensive right now.
Need help with Word-based expanders ....sm
I am starting with All-Type soon, and the handbook says that their platform works with any Word-based expander. That's all fine and good, but I have never used one. I'm a PRD+ girl from the old WP51 days, and currently work in Bayscribe, and the Expander in it is a lot like PRD. Are any of the Word-based Expanders like that? I tried Instant Text once and hated it. I don't want popup windows and such. I like it to be simple, like PRD ... enter copdd and get chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, etc. Are any like that?
Thanks for your help! 
Winscribe-is this Word based? nm
nm
It is based on lph, not total lines sm
produced. It is based on lines per hour over the total pay period. 200 lph, one bonus, 300 lph, another bonus. Per line bonus based on all line produced.
None from what I can figure based on the numbers - sm
listed below. The amount of lines was the same for 65 cpl with spaces versus 55 cpl without spaces. So I'd say you have absolutely nothing to worry about. The smaller number of characters per line is your saving factor. Wish I had a 55 cpl, but I get 65 cpl w/o spaces and by comparison lose about $200 a month due to this. Like I said you have nothing to lose, lucky duck!
Web based transcription/dictation
The company I now work for has asked me to look into web based transcription/dictation applications. They are currently using tapes, and going to a web-based application would be a real time saver. Does anyone have suggestions?
have 18. expand library based on your need,
not on what the 'jones' have going on!!
Not anymore. Most are internet based.

Is Emdat Word-based?

opinions based on the negative
Then I ask you this...is it right to base your opinion on a large group of peopel based on your experience. We have all had negative experiences. I have had quite a few of my own. I have had experiences with legal and illegal Mexican's. My husband was an engineer at a poulty plant in NC that ran on the hard work of legal and illegal immigrants. He did not agree with hiring illegal workers, he knew it would not change, and he has since moved on. We cannot go around pointing fingers because there is always someone to point the finger back. For example, your father did something wrong, should we hate him, should we suggest he got what he deserved? I would not do that. You also talk about hygiene a alot. In fact....you say they work all day in the hot sun and then do not shower. Is it possible that working ALL DAY IN THE HOT SUN exhausted them. Lets continue this dialog.....again I ask is it right to form opinions of hate based on your own experience, which in a world view is still limited or is it better to dialog with people find out what their experiences are, not just the ones that match yours. We all have negative experiences, but you can chose to forgive and move on and yes even love. I hope you do.
