company from what I've read. But I believe it is also a very young company and has only about 100 employees, so unless I'm wrong about that, I don't understand how they could buy a behemoth company and fix it.

eScription is a great platform
Easy and picks up the doctors like you would not believe- even ESLs good on this platform. I am so glad don’t have the other ASR that is talked about all the time.
You sound like a great mom.
My 20-year-old son and I have had a similar discussion. I have told him that employers are now looking at MySpace and Facebook pages and if there's something on those that he wouldn't put in the church bulletin, they maybe he should take it off. What he does is his business and he is wise to keep it that way.
Wow, that really does sound great, and you'd
still have an interesting job where you could put your medical knowledge to use! A friend of mine is checking into becoming an EKG tech, which sounds pretty good too.
I think the sound quality is not that great.

Anyone can recommend headphones--good to great sound--Help-- See inside
Hi everyone. I have a need for some headphones with great sound. Years ago at Radio Shack for approximately $50.00 you could get the best headphones, like the CIA uses for listening I think :) The sound was fantastic and far better than our MT headphones.
Well, now I have an account with very unclear, low volume. I just need better sound coming to the ears. Like in the olden days when I just typed because I could actually hear what they were saying!
If anyone has any great headphones, that minimize listening time and maximize typing time, please post or email me. I left my email address, just click the link to email. Thanks SOOOOOO much. Thanks. Really. Thanks.
Good luck to your daughter!!! The songs sound great!

Great program called "Switch" can convert sound files into

Express Scribe is GREAT for downloading sound files for testing for different companies!
Express Scribe Transcription Playback Software
This software works as a transcriber that downloads into your computer and allows you to receive files and use your footpedal. I have used it a lot when applying for jobs and testing, especially because I can then use my footpedal and not my keyboard to advance the sound files. This is a free download too, so use it if you have to. I highly recommend it.....
This is the link for the site to download it for free -

Has anyone disconnected the internal sound card and replace with another sound card?
I am having problems with my sound on one of my computers. Several different ExText program have been on it so I don't think it is the program and the sound is just now as clear as on my other computer. Has anyone switched (disconnected the internal sound care and replaced) to a new sound card? Did it make a difference.
Everyone on this board is so knowledgeable, I really appreciate you. You have helped me many times.
You do sound FAT, but you don't sound RICh.
Go live in Iraq or something.
Saw him on CMT show with John Fogarty. Great, great singer with a neat personality and drop dead
gorgeous without seeming to know it.
Great post. I swear by both Advantage and Frontline Plus-- both work great! - sm
I don't know about "natural" approaches for the house. I have always used flea bombs in the past before the miracle of Advantage and Frontline changed my life. Have not had a flea problem at all since I began using those products about 10 years ago, dose all the dogs religiously once a month with the Frontline Plus except in Dec.-Feb. to save a few bucks and because the ground is generally frozen by then and no fleas are scurring about. -- Hope you get flea free soon.
Thanks to all. Got some great feedback and ecouragement. This board is great.
My rant passed, ate a late lunch, now back to the trenches.
GREAT GREAT SHOW! I still think Ellen Pompeo
should have gotten the Emmy/Golden Globe whatever it was for the show. I like Sandra Ho, her character just needs more depth... Next week looks AWESOME!! Maybe there is still a chance for McDreamy!! First season DVD coming out with deleted scenes! Can't wait to get it & watch it!!
It is a GREAT company and great deal! I've had
Vonage about 6 months now and I love it. The only mistake I made was trying to keep my original phone # - I wouldn't recommend that. You have a temp # for a while, and the other provider can fight for the old #, etc. Go to vonage. com. They have new features all the time! There is even a new soft phone that is a phone on your screen. You don't need a real phone when working - just headset. It has 800 #s you can have very inexpensively - great voice mail. You get emails when you have new messages, etc. I only wish I had used them a year ago! Nothing but good things to say, and I complain about everything! 
Sounds like he will do great then. Again, best wishes for great success!

That's great Patti. Thanks. Have a great time at the beach.

You should feel great as a transcriptionist if they think your work is that great!!!
It is not your fault they approached you. I think it would be a different storey if you were the one searching for the job to take away from a company. They obviously want to get rid of the company and if you didn't take the job they would probably ask someone else. You should enjoy the better position and not feel guilty!!
Great post -great job of wording your answer! (sm)
Original poster - I completely agree with this answer, especially the part about finding yourself and using all that you have learned intellectually and connecting that to something that you will also enjoy with your heart!! You have so many wonderful options for your future - much more than many of us.
IT - great program, great support system. nm

Thanks for all the great advice! You guys are great!

eScription
Just wondering if eScription has a word Expander built in or if you have to form your own? Never worked with it before. Thanks!
Escription?
Does anyone know of any companies that use Escription, OTHER than Transcend and MDI-FL? Thanks in advance.
Escription
Has anyone heard of Escription? Are they good to work for. I have applied and I am waiting for a response. Thanks, Nancy
Escription
They use transcriptionists from India. Local hospital used them, quality of their work was so poor, they got rid of them fast.
QA using eScription
From my use of EditScript and eMon, there is no way to track lines and reports that you have QA'd. However, I do know that eScription can write special programs. Have your employer contact the company and ask them if they can write a program to calculate the QA work that you do.
eScription
I worked for them for about two months and had to work a ton to get paid $100.00. If I remember right 5000 lines only paid editors $100.00 on voice recognition. I had to correct sooooo many mistakes that VR had made that it was just not worth it. I think you would be better off finding another company to work for. This company is slow to edit/transcribe for and QA is so picky.
Escription in MA
Is that company that you work for on MA that uses Escription in Woburn by any chance? Just wondering.
Who uses ESCRIPTION?
Please let me know. Thanks
The only Escription I know of is VR!

Escription
Anyone out there familiar with the Escription software? Is this only voice recognition and no regular "old-fashioned" type transcription involved? Thanks for your help.
eScription
You have certainly peaked my interest with the comment of a great rate per line for editing with the eScription platform. May I inquire as to how much? More than 0.0491 per recognized line? And what is your average line count per day? All work types, or specific? I appreciate any specifics you care to give!
Escription VR
When you get the VR, it will already be typed, just needs editing. Unless it is very new to VR, then it needs a certain amount to be typed by the Transcriptionist before it is recognized. The corrections you make will train the software on the correct words. You can do a lot more than 160-200 with VR
Escription
I am in awe that you edit so many lines an hour! You have my admiration! What worktypes are you editing the most? Do you have to go into other applications to fill in header info, CC recipients, lab data? Maybe my employer is expecting too clerical duties in a report rather than just editing! I'm just trying to understand why my production is so low! Any tips from high producers will be appreciated!
eScription
Love the software and don't ever want to use anything else. I'd be happy to answer any questions about it. :-)
ESCRIPTION
I really wish I could help you-- because I really wish someone could help me with this platform - it's bad working in the evening and not having someone to help out when things are new.
Escription
I work using this program with a footpedal without an adaptor - I had to buy another footpedal when I started on this program - it seems that each program has its own footpedal that it works with - wish they would come up with a footpedal that was adaptable to all transcription programs.
eScription
I am trying to find out which companies use eScription platform. I have worked on this plarform for a while, but the company I am with is just not what I though it would be. Any info available out there would be appreciated very much.
escription
I went to the web site (escription.com), but couldn't find a list. Is this the correct web site?
escription
I don't know- I was told during training that we were to learn to be almost completely mouse free,and that they actually track whether we use our mouse more than we should. I have heard that once you get used to it it is alot better- I hope that is how it is for me.
Escription
I have been working with this platform for voice recognition for about 3 months now and love it. It is actually done on a Word platform, I guess, or the reports come out in Word - I do know that Microsoft Works had to be disabled in order to work on the platform. Short-hand works wonderfully with this - but in editing, I have found that short-hand is not so necessary. I get about 80% editing and 20% regular dictation. It is a great blend and you don't end your day with aching wrists. I have read where a few people are now having problems with their ulnar nerves, but I have not experienced that. It does take a bit to get used to, but for those of you out there who are frightened by it or by it taking the MT jobs - we have been being warned that VR is the wave of the future - so embrace it and search out jobs that use Escription in order to be a more valuble MT in the future. It has not affected my income and I do not feel worn out when I am finished for the day.
Escription
Does anyone work with Escription that could help me with a problem/question that I have?
TIA
Tina
eScription ???
What exactly is that? What features does it have that make it a better platform? Easy to use? Easy to learn? High producing? The eScription web side is advertising for an MT to to work with IT to evaluate, report and suggest changes to make it more efficient. I like that idea.
eScription
Hi. I am the co-founder and co-owner of eScription. I read your message, and I thought it could be helpful if I responded to your comments about me.
First, I did not buy another company or product. With my partner, Ben, we developed eScription's platform ourselves. We started the business in the basement of my home in 1999. Our system has speech recognition integrated into the transcription platform. It is not possible to use our system without using speech recognition. Also, the comments about radiology are interesting, but not representative of our company. eScription currently processes about 900 million lines of transcription per year with speech recognition. Radiology represents less than 10% of that total.
Second, as you indicated, I don't believe that speech recognition will ever replace transcriptionists. Instead, I believe that speech recognition is simply technology that can be used with other technologies as an aid to transcriptionists. We hope that eScription's products will be viewed as a technological change similar to the technological change that occurred when word-processors replaced typewriters.
I hope that eScription's technology ultimately helps transcriptionists by placing greater value on their minds than on their hands.
I read transcription discussion groups frequently, because I want to better understand the challenges faced by transcriptionists. I hope that these comments are helpful. Your interest in eScription is very much appreciated.

I canont answer many of your questions - but here is what I have and I work on escription -
Microsoft XP (no vista)
I do not know how much space it takes - as I have plenty of space left on my computer - so I am guessing not much. I also use short-hand with the program and this works fine as a word expander. I would think that there are others on this board who can provide you with more information. Is there a tech support person at your job who can help you?
I'm Not Sure About Escription...sm
I always thought it was the company that made EditScript and that's it.
EMR is electronic medical record.

eScription
You need to let your Supervisor know if there is any degradation in the voice recognition. There is a lot of behind-the-scenes work that a Supervisor has to do to improve the voice recognition, which she may or may not be doing. Also, new employees affect the voice recognition if their work is inconsistent with everyone else's work. Also, if you are not hearing complete words, you need to turn back on the play silence button. In the past, I have lost up to 6 complete words as the system makes an arbitrary decision on what is silence and what is not.
Escription
Escription is one of the easiest things in the world, if the file is recognized all you have to do is read along and make changes where the VR messed up. It took me one paycheck to get up to speed, after that I was making more than I ever did. At times I was seeing upwards of 1100 lines an hour for certain MDs.
Escription help...
Hang in there is the biggest piece of advice I can give. I worked as an MT on ES for a while then got moved up to QA, only to find myself in the job market again as I live in the US.... Anyway, the biggest thing I can tell you is to watch your dictator, this can be hard with large accounts having sometimes over 200, but certain ones you'll see are more accurate via ES than others, and you'll be able to turn up the speed on them. As an example, I would work sunday nights if I needed any extra $$ because the ER MDs (we could only do ER on sat/sun) were over 99% accurate right out of the VR, so I'd crank the speed as fast as i could understand and bang out as high as 1200 lph. I think doing 500-600 lph on a normal day with normal dictators though is a much more sane goal. My 2 cents FWIW.
I use escription too and I use sm
a USB pedal. I run it through Express Scribe. You just have to remember to open Escription first then Express Scribe. Feel free to email me if you have problems.
Escription has both...nm
