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!
ExText versus Bayscribe
How does Bayscribe compare to ExText? Are you able to make your lines as easily in Bayscribe? TIA
65 character line versus gross lines versus pay by word
I am checking into other options for transcription. Can anyone tell me how to compare all of these types of lines & also payment per word? I know companies use different scales, so I wondered how they compare. I have been paid on a 65 character line with spaces, but I may be making a change in the future - don't want to get burned.
Thank you in advance!
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.

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.

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.
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.
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?
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.
Question versus gross lines versus 65-character lines....
I have always charged or been paid by 65 or 60 character lines or per letter or space typed, but have never been paid or charged per gross line.
What is the advantage of this? If I were to charge 11 cents per 65-character line including spaces, what does this figure out to for an average line rate and how do you do this calculation?
I'm wondering if it is financially beneficial for me to bill by gross line or to keep it the way I have it. I do know some accounts will only pay per 65-character line, as this was the deal my first own account I recently acquired. They were adamant on a 65-character line, but didn't specify with or without spaces and I personally would never not charge for spaces.
Thanks for explaining this. I appreciate it and hope everyone has a speedy day.
Don't care about Medrite, but loved your photo! LOL!!!!

I used to use Bayscribe....
 I think there is actually a way to back your macros up to the server. If you go to the README file in your Bayscribe folder, it should give you a list of shortcuts and one of them is how to back up to their server. I must preface this by saying I tried this once because I was trying to use a laptop and transfer my macros from my desktop to the laptop, but it did not work for me. So, I would just suggest going to your Bayscribe folder, finding the abbv.txt (I believe that is the title), openning the file and either copying them to a disk or e-mail the file to yourself and keep it in you saved folder. That way, you will always have them.
Hope that helps.
Does anyone use Bayscribe
for dictation and another program, like Radnet, for the transcription. I'm looking for a word Expander to use with RadNet and Bayscribe. I've been using Shorthand, but having some problems and I'm wondering if the ShortHand interferes with Bayscribe since it has a built-in expander that I'm not using since the transcription is done in another program. Any suggestions??
bayscribe
any one work with BayScribe software.. just wondering how the platform is. thanks
I can't log into Bayscribe at all...sm
I have even been given a new account number.
The tools will not come up when I am in IE at all when I hit ctrl F3. When I go through Start button to program files and hit productivity tools it is just a link to the Bayscribe question and answer page. They just plain are not on my system at all. I am not on IE7. I have tried everything I can think of.
Thanks for the ideas though!!

Bayscribe
Absoltely rocks!!! That is after a little quirking to the spellchecker! 
Yes you can. I use Bayscribe and IT and...sm
it works like a charm. I have never encountered any compatibility issues.
Bayscribe
I am having the same problem. It just started recently. Last week it happened on Monday, I uninstalled and reinstalled a few times, but no luck. Then, for some unknown reason it started working and I did not have a problem the rest of the week. Today, I log on to work and get the same error again. I checked with the company I work for and apparently no one else is having this problem. They were checking with the programmer, but it started working before I got a response. I don't know the reason for the error, but it is extremely frustrating.
Anybody here ever use Bayscribe?
I will be using this for a new acct that my boss is accepting and I was just wondering if it is hard or easy to use?
Anybody?
Bayscribe
I absolutely love it! It is very MT friendly.
Bayscribe
I agree that you are not able to do a search for other reports in Bayscribe, but I have found you are able to look at reports you have previously typed by minimizing Bayscribe and then opening up another Bayscribe screen and bringing up the reports summary section. I use this several times a day. I wish you luck!!!!
Bayscribe
I have worked on Bayscribe for almost 2 years and I use InstaText. It works beautifully with Bayscribe. Also, Bayscribe will automatically back up the entries to their server.
Bayscribe
I use Bayscribe and PC Shorthand. It works perfectly with Bayscribe.
Bayscribe
Hit ignore on the word you're not sure of. Let the spellcheck go completely through to the end. Then instead of submit, hit return to document. Look up the word you're trying to spell, then do spellcheck again. This will bring up the word you "ignored" & you can correct it.
Bayscribe
If you lose a report in Bayscribe for any reason, go back into a new template of the same type. You have to be in a template like you are getting ready to type a new report. If you lost a H&P, be in H&P template. Then hit alt/R. Bayscribe will bring up the last H&P in the system and give you a preview of the last H&P you typed. When you recognize the report, click on "okay" and it will restore the whole report including the demographics. You can never really "lose" a report in Bayscribe. Hope this helps.
Bayscribe
It does...and in fact, it lets you know the number of lines, as well as what you will be paid for each and every report. I love that feature!!
Bayscribe
Anyone use PC ShortHand with ith Bayscribe? I cannot get mine to work right. It skips expansions, puts half the expansion in and sometimes does not finish the word. Anyone else have this problem or is there another Expander that works well with Bayscribe? I am getting frustrated here. I tried doing everything the Shorthand web site said to do but to no avail. Appreciate any suggestions.
Bayscribe
I imported my MSW AutoCorrect file into Bayscribe but a lot of it will not work. For instance, in MSW I use YO as the expansion for -year-old, but this now will not work after a number nor will YO work after a number followed by a hyphen either. Seems it only will work after a space. Any idea how to design an expansion that will work after a number or hyphen without a space in between?
Also, all the capitalizations I built in for headers get reversed to lower case when I follow them with a colon and I have resigned myself to having to re-enter all of those. Any Bayscribe experts who can shed some light?
BayScribe
Turn off the Expander in BayScribe and get InstantText! :O)
Bayscribe
What do you all think of this? Want to know the good, bad, indifferent. I am getting ready to train on this platform and just am wondering how it really is.
Bayscribe help!!
I'm working on my daughter's computer today because I'm having tons of problems with mine. So, I had to download the productivity tools and kind of start from scratch. It's been so long since I've set up my tools that I cannot remember how to change my spellchecker options so that it doesn't automatically capitalize the next letter after a period. Example: Ecotrin 81 mg p.o. daily. It keeps wanting to capitalize the d in daily. Does anyone know how to change this?
Bayscribe
If you are in a report, click control F3, go to local configuration, uncheck the box that says enable capitalization after 2 spaces are typed.
Oh please! Please!!! Anyone on Bayscribe?
Heeeeeeeeeelp!!!!
Suddenly, out of nowhere (maybe they just upgraded?) the "doctor roster" comes up in this little tiny box in the corner all of a sudden--not the big box in the center I'm used to. OK fine..I find the doctor name I'm looking for in the list (to put in the ADT screen) and I have no idea how to do this! Before you hit A or enter or whatever and the name would automatically go into the ADT screen (this after I hit the little DR box)...
What happened?? I have a whole night's work ahead of me and no one to call. Please, anyone!!!!
Bayscribe
Just close it out and log back in. I had this happen yesterday.
bayscribe
let me know if you haven't received an answer.
Bayscribe Help
I had to reload my Bayscribe tools and cannot remember for the life of me how to reset the settings so that the first letter after a period isn't always capitalized.
Any Bayscribe wizards out there who can tell me where/how to do this?
TIA!!!!!!
Bayscribe
Does anyone know of a company that uses this platform and will accept an Internet satellite connection?
