Dictaphone's ExText, so far. Love it! nm
s
I love my vet, the only blood work she does is an occasional - sm
heartworm test, about every 2 years. Only take the dogs (and cat) in for shots, no extra or unnecessary stuff. She is cheap (and good) too, compared to where we used to live. I'd say if there is a hint of a problem, then yeah it should get monitored. But if there is nothing wrong, then why? Once every few years should be adequate I would think for blood work. As for teeth cleaning, I have only done it once with 1 of dogs because she was going to be out anyways getting some teeth pulled, a tumor removed too, so we had her teeth cleaned. As for my other dogs, forget it, that is what Milk Bones and Dentabones are for. I already spend enough on shots for 3 dogs, Frontine, heartworm pills, special dog food for the 1 dog, etc. Some vets do whatever to get more $, others though don't get greedy (country vets) and think of the animal, not on pumping up their bottom line. If you aren't happy with your vet then either tell them you only want the 1 x a year visit, shots only, none of the extra crap, you can say NO, it's your pet. Or find another vet. Though we are in the boonies, we have 2 vets within 2 miles of each other, who are both very reasonable, go into town though and you pay a lot more.
I think it's Dictaphone ExText
Someone on here said that once. Check the archives.
Dictaphone EXText
Anyone out there know Dictaphone EXText? You need two phone lines, this is a dial-up account with a toll-free number. E-Mail me and I can give you all the details. Great paying account.
Thanks!
Dictaphone EXText
I agree 100%. Extremely user friendly. Great system.
Dictaphone ExText
I have worked on Dictaphone and the only way I could get a job back was to ask my team lead to reassign it back to me. The only person who can get all jobs is a QA person, with the job lister, which downloads all of the jobs that have gone to QA or to the client.
ExTExt by dictaphone
Anyone have any experience with ExText platform...how did you like it..and if you know, how does it compare to DocQscribe?
When using Dictaphone ExText do you have
to be connected to the internet the entire time? I googled it and didn't find anything that really detailed how it works. I've been offered a position with a company using this (I tested for them months ago and they had position using C-phone and I wasn't interested and now they have offered this one via e-mail and I haven't talked with them to ask details). I travel quite a bit and I don't want to be tied to a situation where I have to be on-line my entire work time.
Dictaphone EXText
Can someone tell me about Dictaphone EXText. Do you like it?
Dictaphone/Extext
When you have Dictaphone/Extext open, you should also have another window open (maybe in the background) called Transet player. On the transnet player box there is a tab called "more" this will give you the spot to change the speed.
Dictaphone ExText with Smartype?
Do any of you using Dictaphone ExText use Stedman's Smartype as your Expander instead of the expander that comes with ExText? It should work because it uses Word but I am not having any luck.
Which companies are using Dictaphone ExText?
Who is using this platform, and can you tell me if it supports third-party expanders, i.e., Smartype specifically?
Thanks.
I use Dictaphone ExText with ExpressScribe.

I have a question about Dictaphone ExText
I have emailed this question several times to my supe and haven't gotten an answer, so I'm hoping someone here may know.
On Dictaphone ExText how do you go back and re-listen to a dictation after a document has already been submitted to QA?
I can pull up the document and look at it all I want, but I don't know how to get the voice file so I can listen to the dictation. I know there has to be a way to do this because it was suggested that we do this once a document goes through QA so we can see/hear what the error was. I'll keep trying to get an answer from my supe, but I was just wondering if anyone here might know?
TIA!
Dictaphone Extext & Smarttype
Does anyone use Stedmans Smartype in conjunction with Dictaphone Extext/Word Client? If so, how do you disable the cc (shortcuts) in Extext? I am using Word 2000 so I know Smartype works with that but not sure about using in with Extext/Word Client.
Does anyone have a pdf format for dictaphone EXText
I am starting with a new company and need the user manual for Dictaphone ExText and cannot find a download for it anywhere......does any body have one that you would be willing to email to a fellow MT. I would really appreciate that or any links where I can find one.
Dictaphone ExText system
Any comments? Easy to work with, hard?
Dictaphone Extext manual
I was just wondering if anybody can tell me where to find a manual for Extext? I did a Google search but could not find anything. I do not need the whole manual, but I would like to know some of the shortcuts of using the program.
TIA! 
Dictaphone extext transnet
I use dictaphone Extext transnet and yes I had to get a dictaphone foot pedal to work. The company thought any pedal would work but Dictaphone said no it has to be dictaphone pedal.
Good luck!
Dictaphone EXText Speech
Are there any MT companies doing Dictaphone EXText Speech.
Dictaphone EXText Speech
Thanks. Appreciate your reply. I guess not too many companies use this, as I have not received any other replies.
My company uses Dictaphone and ExText and I have..
never had a problem. I use the laptop pretty much all the time. Best Buy has a business computer section that you can order a laptop from. They are much less expensive than the floor models and all the bells and whistles and a lot come with XP, not Vista.
Dictaphone extext question
Can someone please tell me how I get the little box to open that allows me to speed up or slow down the dictation? Sometimes it opens automatically and sometimes it does not. How do I make it open when it does not appear automatically?
It is the ESP Expander with Dictaphone ExText--If you can believe it, it won't allow caps if you
Yes, that's right, Dictaphone's Expander that comes with ExtText won't allow anything that you use as an expansion come into the document capitalized.
So, when you type your abbreviation for ANY WORD you have in ESP, it will NEVER be capitalized, unless like in, say, 1925, you type the Shift key with it.
I hate this profession. I hate all these programs. THey NEVER take into account the MT. Cars following voice instructions? No problem. MP3 player that respond to your voice? No problem. Get Word to do simple things that it should do, like cap after periods, God, too much trouble. Let the "little girls," just deal with all the software problems day after day. Dictaphone--what a laugh. I worked on ExtText FIVE YEARS AGO-- ANd it still has the SAME fricking clumbsy program? Also, you have to do "Shift ?" to find informaion in fields. LIke give me a break. Give us a key to hit, like, I don't know, Search, that't be good. No, make us type Shift ?. Where do these people get off. Do they ever even type on these programs? Or talk to the people who use them.
MT is so antiquated when it comes to programming, it is a big joke. Anyone work for a company that gets the demographics and has fast, easy programming, let me know. TX
dictaphone extext is there a way to sign off a dictation
without having to create a document on the Dictaphone system. A doctor dictated a letter that has no demographics. How can I bypass their system and type in my own document? All answers much appreciated
Instant Text and Dictaphone's ExText
No problem. You can use Instant Text with Dictaphone's ExText and ExSpeech platform.
You can also import any esp file that you have built in Dictaphone's platform and you can use your list in Instant Text.
If you have any questions you can always call Textware Solutions at 1 800 355 5251

Dictaphone EXText Word Client question.
I've been working along and all of sudden I noticed my trans status window is gone. It's the little window that shows your downloaded jobs waiting to be transcribed/edited. How do I get the box back without logging out and logging back in? I'm not sure where it went or how I closed it, but I must have inadvertently clicked something.
Thanks!
Does anyone know if there's a free Dictaphone ExText instruction manual online somewhere? nm
nm
What does this mean? Dictphone Transnet to get voice and Dictaphone Extext to transcribe in. Thanks
Thanks for the help!
How can I install my Dictaphone EXText shorthands in basic word?
Is that possible? If so how do you do it. I know what my ShortHand file is named and where it is saved. I am using basic word a lot and don't want to put everything in under autocorrect by hand. Thanks for your time!
Part-time work using Extext/word client/dictaphone
Anyone know any companies that are hiring that use this system? I really want to start part-time and then probably commit to full time later. I really want a company that supplies your equipment! Thanks.
Question for mini-laptop users. Are you able to use Dictaphone Extext program
on one of these. I noticed a lot of them do have Windows XP Home Edition but only like Microsoft Works for the word processing. I guess my question is are you able to down Dictaphone or does it have to have a Word processin program in order to download it.
It's Dictaphone's ExText and it's good/easy, but some feel the line counts are skewed at

I love it too and use it with the dictaphone platform...nm
:o)
Love ExText
I ahve been using ExText for two years now and really like it. I love the expander, having used SH in my previous job. I have a couple of small dislikes about the system, but overall I find it very user-friendly and easy to use.
Ellen
Love EXText. I use Instant Text sm
with no problems. I like the search features. The software allows you to search for reports by dictator and work type, and view completed reports. This is a huge help with difficult dictators or unfamiliar terminology. I worked for a service that counted headers and footers in the line count, and we invoiced the figure we got in Control I. My line counts run much higher in this software than others I have worked in.
Use ExText for 1 job. Love it! Works with my ShortHand. Wish they all used it! nm
s
I guess I should have added, now I use EXText with ESP and I love it. I just wonder if I could
even make it better. I have ShortHand too, but I stopped using that when I started this job because they have ESP.
Log keeping glitches
Sorry, I forgot to mention that notepad has to be used, not word pad. Also, note pad has to be the only program on your start menu that starts with the letter N.
If I remember correctly, I got it to work with a few glitches. SM
I think I was able to get it to play and rewind, but no fast forward. It's been several years since I used Express Scribe so I can't remember exactly, but I do think I got it to work.
There is no average. Fast typists, slow ones, newbies, software glitches, interruptions, etc. all ha

I can see an occasional day but
I know his grades are awful. I don't see any way possible he can pass his grade this way. How long can a school put up with this on a 16/17 year old? I sure would hate for him to drop out because then I'd have to listen to his ruckus 24/7.
Lanier is a type of dictaphone, but when speaking of a C-phone, it's meant as the Dictaphone Con

I've done it on an occasional hour here and there
When I was working for one MTSO that had a lot of normal templates, I looked forward to the oupatient surgery days because I could get 800-900 lph for up to 3 hours at a time, but could not mantain that consistently. I was able to do about 500-600 lph consistently if I worked the evening or graveyard shift where I could hit a groove. I've been MT'ing for over 15 years and have been using my Expander 10 years. This was an acute care setting and covered 3 hospitals.
Question about 7-year-old son - occasional vomiting
Please help! :)
My 7-year-old son has had very occasional vomiting that is associated with no other symptoms. This started 5 weeks ago and he has gotten sick a total of 3 times. He vomits one time and he is fine. No fevers, no diarreha and nothing food - specific that I can link this to. This does not occur quickly after eating. Generally, it is an hour or two after eating. He eats and digests his food properly at all other times, so this is confusing me! He saw his doctor 2 weeks ago and was started on a trial of Zantac. I give this to him in the mornings before breakfast. Today, he got sick again (just one time) and he is perfectly normal now. I did contact the doctor and we did go to the hospital for an abdominal x-ray. I am waiting on those results right now and I guess that I am a little confused about this situation! He has never gotten sick like this before. He never even spit-up as an infant. I have never noted any food allergies or intolerances but now I am starting to wonder. Has anyone else had any similar situations like this? Thanks in advance! :)
I have occasional migraine headaches. I can miss a day of work and SM
make it up, no problem. I am glad I work at home during those times.
Explaining my occasional bitter-/crankiness
I confess, I am one of those that will occasionally toss a snide comment in. I don't think I have ever gotten to the point of being brutally mean, but I have been snippy. And it may be petty and it may be unnecessary, but, in my case anyway, it stems from a frustration when obvious newbs post a question that at least in my mind seems simplistic (based on the s/l they are able to provide) and should either be a common knowledge type thing or else easily findable. After a day of plodding through ESLs, rapid-fire dictators, or reports that have more chromosome testing than I have chromosomes, I do get a little cranky when someone who probably only makes $50 less a week than I do posts on here asking what 'conjecture hard fail your' might be and respond in a somewhat less than mature way.
Don't feel too bad ... one of my dogs reacts similarly to the occasional STRANGE man!
... especially when she was younger and she was our only dog. I'd be walking her in the park and some guy would ask to pet her, and maybe 1/10 men would cause a frenzy of love to come over her. She would throw herself at his feet, practically moaning as he scratched her belly. If I'd have been single this might have been useful, but I'm married! Very embarrassing.
I think she is talking about full QA review not occasional blanks with a new dictator.
As a newbie I was off full QA at the halfway through day 2 working on acute care. However, I had an excellent trainer/mentor available to answer any questions, and I could send unlimited blanks to QA.
Now when I work on a new account, even with a new platform, I am off full QA within a day. If the platform instructions and account specs are clear, it should really not be a problem.
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.
