editscript works only ........
with DSL or Cable internet, satellite or dial up will not work....that's what companies tell.
Then I am wrong and it is Editscript that works only with a serial port, sorry! nm

No. EditScript works fine with my 2003 Word version. sm
It is ExText with Word 2000 that I am worried about interfering with my EditScript from eScription.
Sorry that happened to you. I have been running Word 2003 with eScription for about 4 years now. Everything works great!
Laptop works great for me
I've been using a laptop now for over a year for full time MT. I have a Sony Vaio with plenty memory and great processor. I attach my mouse, keyboard and foot pedal and I'm good to go. I traveled over the summer and was able to work from anywhere with internet access. A great thing! 
When you plug in the peripheral, the laptop keyboard still works so you

what works for me? the 97% fat free popcorn
It's FREE too--check it out and let us know how it works!!
I can't use this product with my work software but would be very interested in how it works
I use the free one; not installed or paid for
I think the free (run-it-when-you-need-it) is great! Sure, the real-time protection and monitoring would be great, but I'm on a budget, and I can run their free version as often as I would like (takes about 2 hours, so usually right before I go to bed) and it finds all kinds of alleged 'problems' and I tell it to fix them, and it does. Sure seems to have been helping me, but it could be that in combination with all the other things I'm trying.
My husband tried the 'free trial' on his laptop that you actually download for real-time coverage, and it apparently REALLY bogged his computer down (so he says) and he had to take it off within a couple of days.
Any help?
Please can you explain to me, how a free AV could be better than a paid AV?..nm
I think that a free AV would rather bring all the viruses into our systems by its users.
Yes, that is what I did, free phone, like new, works fine. - nm

MP Count is free and works great! Just Google! nm

Express scribe is FREE and works great!

Works ok, but you get what you pay for. I think there is a free trial version. Not nearly as good

I use C-Cleaner. Gets rid of spyware and the like. Works wonderful and is Free. nm

I would say that if you are typing headers and footers for free, i.e. not getting paid for them,

Check out the free demo of FlashType to see if it works and it's priced right.

FlashType is cheaper and works equally as well as Shorthand and has a free demo.

To all of you Escriptionist out there...Laptop question. Have any of you found a laptop that you can
thing. I tried one of those adapter that goes from the 9-pin to the USB but when I plugged in the USB my foot pedal did not work right. I know supposedly there is a help section on the escription website that says the adapter may work and how to make them compatible etc but it never worked for me. Has any of you find a solution or a laptop that this foot pedal with work with. I'd like to work while traveling and get a laptop but it never worked on my old one. Ideas??
Abacus is not free. It is $20 but worth it. You can download a trial version free which does not h
I have used this for years and have compared to Sylvan, Word, and MP Count, etc. When you have it set to count every character, bold, shift, tab, etc. It is great and always higher than the others. Now if you are wanting gross lines like in Word then no it won't be as high because Word counts blanks lines and Abacus counts a line only if there is a character on it. There is also two places to check for it to count the Headers/Footers. If you have the FREE version then it must be the trial or a very old version so you don't have all the features and functions.
Free? As in, free trial? Otherwise, I don't think you'll find a spellcheck software that's

Check out the free demo of MTStars FlashType. It's free for 7 days.
Then, if you like it, you can purchase it for $59.95. See link below.
Full Word is in the Works "Suite," not plain Works.
Works saves files in a different format, but you can open them in Word if you have the correct filter installed.
if mt paid 9, editor paid 4 or 5...how can company charge 14 and make it..sm
I know the going rate in our area is 14 cents per line. As MTs most companies here pay us 8 or 9 cents a line. Now add in the Editor rate at 4 or 5 per line..you are paying OUT more than you can charge a line. How would companies stay in biz?
Unless all work is sent by the company overseas at pennies per line, this would not pay for a company.
just curious how this works out
RIGHT!!! Someone who works 16 hours and someone who works 60 will have a HUGE difference. NM

yes it is free....mine was free....why the exclamation?
nm
But how much are the US EDs gonna be paid? Typically this work is paid at 2-3 cpl. nm
:+
You don't get paid an hourly rate you get paid by line - sm
so because of how you are paid (not an hourly rate) you don't get OT, especially if you are an IC.
I would move on. I think it is so unfair not to be paid for spaces! I think we should get paid
per keystroke, but that'll never happen. I just think that these national companies are going to keep finding ways to cheat us. I found a job working for a hospital as an employee, paid hourly plus incentive, and they let us expand everything! Somebody's gonna have to kill me to make me give up this job. I will never go back to the national's again.
I feel for you though. I know that for us MTs those good jobs are few and far between and some have little choice but to work for the nationals. I just happened to luck into the job I have now. I just applied at the right time.
Good luck to you whatever you decide.
If those companies paid a fair wage, and paid more
all came out equal, people wouldn't feel the need to try to make up the deficit by going for the good stuff. I actually prefer the harder, juicier reports. But I can't make a living doing only that, because the pay is not commensurate with the difficulty. So even though I prefer not to, sometimes I have to pick up some of the easier, more boring 'line-o-matic' reports just to make ends meet. Tell your MTSO to make it work their while, and MTs will stop taking all the easy work away that you obviously would prefer to keep for yourself.
You wont show UE being paid because it is employer paid -
the employee will never have to pay this.
What you "should" be paid and what you "are" paid
sadly are two very different things. Good luck on demanding more..because someone else will just come along and take it for what they offer and they know it. 
EditScript help
I am about to start working for a company that uses EditScript. I need to know if a USB foot pedal will work with it. When I looked at the foot pedal they said I have to have, I have the same exact one except it is USB. Does anybody know if this will work? I really don't have the money to spend on a new foot pedal, and I use a laptop for work that doesn't even have a 9-pin serial port.
Thank you in advance!
Editscript
Is anyone using this program. I just started it and it seems to be good - the first voice recognition that I have used to date - just wondered what others thought since this seems to be the way of the future in MT.
editscript
I think it is slow but that is only my opinion.
When you are in editscript...
Click on the eyeball on the toolbar and select the pedal tab. You can adjust the bounceback time from there.
EditScript...does KS use this? sm
It seems to me that is where I have seen it used, by KS. If so, then...ST works with it more or less. Not as well as it works with ExText or MedRiteXL, but it will run.
If you are not working for KS, then I don't happen to know one way or the other. Works a treat in ExText.
Editscript
Has anyone had trouble downloading Editscript because of MS Works being on their PC? I'm getting an error msg and I don't know how to get around this...Thanks 
EditScript
 Does anyone know if you can use a game-port pedal on EditScript or if you have to have a serial pedal?
EditScript
Does anyone use dialup? I am in a rural area and cannot get dialup at present. I have been trying to download EditScript and I am having mega problems. Anyone else in the same boat?
editscript
Editscript is I guess you would call it like a platform. Voice recognition editing is when the report comes up and you go through and listen to the doctor to catch any mistakes that are in there.
Editscript V8
With the account that I work on, they did something to the program to make it so that we could not copy and paste within a document. Maybe this happened to your account. The only copy and pasting that can be done, I have found, is after the job has been uploaded. Then, I can search by dictation ID in the database. Once in view function, I am able to copy and paste using the same Ctrl functions as in Word.
I don't use Editscript myself...sm
I can totally see where you wouldn't be able to afford to upgrade though. I have Windows XP but I need to upgrade to a newer Word. I am using 2002 Word. I am starting to have issues with Spantel using this version. I can do the work but I am having little issues. I can't afford to buy an upgrade though. I don't know, maybe I can get a used copy of Microsoft Office. It doesn't have to be 07 just a newer version than I have. I will have to check on it. You are not alone in not being able to afford upgrades though.
EditScript
The line count SUCKS big time on this.....When I worked on it, did a compare in regular word, I got WAY MORE than what Editscript gave me. It is not Editscript, the company can configure it to NOT count headers, demo info, etc. The company is the one doing it!!! Any way to cheat us MTs out of anything, that is what they do...When I see ads for jobs stating they use Emdat or Escription. I just pass right on over it.
EditScript
I have used EditScript now for 3 years and have noticed the same thing. The software is missing simple words and a lot of reports are just a mess. I agree with a previous post that part of it has to do with the skill level of the MTs working on the account. I work for a company that likes to hire new grads, so I think that might explain some of the formatting issues and incorrect phrases I encounter daily. It is very frustrating.
AVG and EditScript
I am using EditScript MT version 8 and have the paid version of AVG in my computer. Works just fine.
EditScript
I am working with Version 8 and still have Version 6 on my computer. I just downloaded 8 when they sent me the instructions and left 6 there just in case. There have been a lot of problems so far with 8, but I imagine eventually it will all be worked out. Then maybe I will get rid of 6. It's kinda like when you hold onto something in your house forever; the minute you junk it, you will need it. I guess that is why I haven't gotten rid of it.
AVG & EditScript
I work for eScription, helped in the development of EditScript, and work on the platform daily. I use the free version of AVG and it works just fine with EditScript, so I can only assume that the paid version will work, too. In fact, I think it works much better with AVG than with the others (though the last time I tried Norton's was a few years ago).
Hope this helps!

Editscript Help
Hello,
Just wondering if anyone out there knows how to get the expanded toolbar in Editscript in the work queue????
Thanks :)
Alt+= in EditScript
What happens when you highlight your word/phrase and then type Alt+=? Does the Add Entry window not show up? Or is it blank?
If it is blank, try doing Ctrl+C to add it to the clipboard before hitting Alt+=.
10$ late if invoice is not paid within 10 days. At day 15 work stops until invoice is paid. Hardly
