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.

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.

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.
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.
Is that Medrite windows based or DOS? nm

Transolutions has Medrite-they are hiring.
Lots of new openings.
How did you get Shorthand to work with Medrite?

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!

PRD is a DOS program. I don't think it work with Word, a Window's program.

It will count everything if you go in the settings and program it to. Good program!
Sylcount is an awesome and accurate counting program also. That will count everything if you "tell it to".
You can use Shorthand in ANY program, it works outside your program
I have never found a platform it did not work with and I have worked on several different versions of Meditech. Just start using it.
M-TEC has a Basic program (12 month) and a Premier program (18 month). To WAH, you should take the P

Shorthand works with every program, it works outside the program you use, does not interfere.

PRD is a DOS program, so you just
copy the entire folder to a floppy or CD. It does not need to be installed like windows programs.

Value of SUM program...What would you pay???>>>
I asked this on the equipment board, but I think maybe I'll get a better response here, so I hope its okay to post it here, too.
Does anyone know what the SUM CDs are worth? There are some on ebay. The beginning one is 2005, and usually they are the older ones on ebay. I looked on the HPI website, but they come with books and are VERY expensive.
Anyway, does anyone have an idea of what they are worth without any extra books? I want to bid on them, but don't know how much. They are at $9.99 each now. There is a beginning one, an advanced one and a surgery one. Shoot. I want them, but don't want to pay too much, you know?
Thanks for any input. 
SUM Program
First, realize if you are able to study independently. The SUM cd's that are on ebay now are the new 2005 editions. You will be able to find the additional books you need on eBay over a few weeks. My advice to you is 1) go to the HPI/SUM website and print out the Student Syllabus and assignments for beginning and surgical (this will give you all of your assignments and a list of what supplies you will need, 2) email the eBay seller and make sure she is including the password codes to "unlock" the cds (Without these, they are useless to you.), then bid what they are worth to you. I have seen them go from $10 to well over $100. I sold a one myself (and not the new edition) for $125. Since I now have everything I need, I will pass on a little hint for buying cheap on eBay. Look for the packages, purchase them, take out what you need, then relist the rest. I now have a second computer (used but fine), desk (nice and new), all the reference books needed for the SUM Program, every Stedman's book that I could ever want (the latest editions), flash cards from Career Step (which come in handy), the extra AAMT cd's that M-Tec uses along with macros and every possible item I could ever want. In the end, not only did it cost me nothing, but I actually came out ahead in the end.
So, if you have the time, this is an excellent way to purchase training materials. Good luck and happy shopping.
DQS program
Hello out there - Starting position who has DQS program.
I find it to be very poor. (In fact those who know the Meditech program - I prefer Meditech over DQS anyday)
I have a lot of issues with the program; however, will just ask two questions, please. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
1. Does anyone have advice as to the quality of dictation. I am not referring to the physicians quality, but the inability of the DQS program to have more than 4 selections for speed, which are terrible.
Is it me or is this par for the program? 1-2 speed hash marks are draggy, 3-4 is distorted. There is not a happy medium for clear dictation but at a rate you can type quickly and accurately.
2. Also minutes - never measured my work in minutes how many minutes a day approximately to produce 1500 lines a day ??
35+ years transcription experience - this is the worst program ever. Hey that is just my opinion, I could be wrong (5000 lb gorilla).
DQS program
Thank you so much for your information. You have hit the nail right on the head.
I too did the same as you. It seems almost impossible to get more than 700 lines. I am so confused as I usually average 200+ lines/hour on all other typing plateforms I have ever used. (Even Meditech)
Your reponse has really helped realize the program frustration is not completely my fault.
THANK YOU - God Bless
What program are you using?

Top gray keys - press left key (program), press again and it will say keys, choose which black button you want for the headset and press it, type #*11, hit the select (X) key, hit the black button you chose again and the hit the top right gray key (no). If you hit the black button you chose, it should light up, indicating the headset is working.
See Clearly Program. Has anyone every tried this?
If so, did it work?
I believe you would need a program also.
I don't know of any free ones that could be used with a pedal but I certainly could be wrong. Some companies have you test within their platform and it might work there. Good luck!
? on sum program
Sorry not sure which board to put this ? on but I have sum program with 12 tapes side a and b, machine and answer key and have no idea of what kind of a price to put on this. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
don't know what program UR using but I NEVER
My reports, especially with ESL, come in better than they (the ESL dictators) can actually dictate. I have to do editing, sure, but it's mostly punctuation, or wrong word(s), setting up paragraphs, doing some headings - it's very rapid for me (used to edit in a previous setting but not medical) but, yes, it is less $, so you work smarter, not harder, in this biz.... I'm much faster on VR than straight transcribing and wish I had more VR.....
is that the program that is - sm
specific to futurenet?
IT program
is it easy to download? have you had a problem with it like the other post? thank you so much!
In what program?
xx
You don't say what the program is.
Line counts can vary for several reasons and it's not fair for you to blame MS Word or the line-counting program for the discrepancy.
You need to check with the MTSO about the EXACT settings they're using. For example, are you counting for formatting such as Bold or Caps? Maybe they're not. Are you counting for tabs and they're not? Headers/Footers? There are any number of reasons for the difference so until you check with the appropriate source (the MTSO) about their settings, you won't know.
RE: Program
I use Transcription Gear and
have no problems.
So, you were able to use this program from
I was going to try it for an account that I have where I transcribe from progress notes. A lot of these patients are established and the med list stays the same. I currently save my documents by date of service, but I am wondering if it would be worth my while to build a patient database even if just for this account. My fear was having to recreate the Word documents in a separate program.
There is a way to program, but I can't get
it to work. What I do is take the phone off and stick it in my desk drawer and the headphones work fine and no speaker phone. If you do get the speakerphone hit stop and it will go away.
You don't say what program you are using, but if I
need to make a change that isn't offered I just cancel out, I'm at the spot I need to change, I change it, and then I run spellcheck again.
Tell me a little more about this program
Is it something you do from home? How long does it last? What does it entail? Or perhaps a website you can direct me to.
try this program
Hi there!
I went onto a site and somehow got some goofy bad stuff I downloaded Windows Defender and ran scan it got rid of it and it has not been back since!
Seriously if you don't have it already download it and let it run on you system for good! It is free and it will help greatly! You need to go to the Windows home site click on downloads it should be in a list of suggested/recommended downloads. Trust me it helped me, my dad and my friend when we have had issues once you have Windows Defender on your system it will act as mote does to a castle so to speak. Let me know how it turns out for you! MT from SD
Try getting the SUM program on your own
Since you are an MT and only need the exposure to acute care material, you really do not need to take a course like that. You'd just spend a lot of money to "learn" typing, punctuation, phrase drills, etc.
With your background, you might look for a school that assumes students have that already, begins right away with acute care material, and then goes on to train beyond the basics.
Another option would be to get the SUM program material and just plow through it on your own. You should be successful with this, given that you have experience and good English skills. You have training, after all. You just got it on the job.
The only problem with the self-study approach would be that you might not be able to get a job with a national. When they require a certain number of years of experience in acute care, they are serious. The only way around this is to take a course like Andrews or M-Tec.
You might want to compare the cost of the SUM program, including the advanced and ESL dictation sets, with the cost of Andrews (or MTec if they use all of them). The difference should be worth the nearly guaranteed job you'll have upon graduation. You'll be able to make that up in earnings quickly.
I don't think either school would require you to waste time on spelling and punctuation. :) You'd be able to scoot through fairly quickly, since you already have the basic skills down.
