Horrible, horrible place to work. nm
BeyondTXT
Is this the platform that Transcend is using? Not the best reports about it based on comments by current employees....
beyondtxt
I would say it takes at least 3-6 months to get the hang of it but once you do you can make decent money. Have you reviewed the shortcut keys? If you try to learn 1 or 2 a week that really helps. It slows you down at first but once you get used to it you do it automatically. My TL told me they can see what keys we are using on their end and that 1 on 1 training is available to help you increase speed if you ask for it.
Anybody use the BeyondTXT platform?

BeyondTXT info. Please help!!
Can someone please tell me if you can get decent lines using the VR portion of BeyondTXT. I have never done VR before. How does it compare to say 300 lph of straight typing? If it is low ESL is it profitable? I just want to make sure I am making similar income to what I have always made. I got the hospital calling me soon and I am so confused!!!
I love BeyondTxt
You do not have to do any formatting regarding numbering, just a few Keystrokes to differentiate headings and subheadings. The company I work for, the patient information is completely filled in. Maybe it depends on the account.
Horrible, horrible platform. Not
user friendly at all. The best tip I can give you is don't do it.
Does it still work or is it broken? sm
My sister works at a place that takes useable or fixable stuff and reconditions and sells it cheap. I think they actually pay a small amount for the stuff that comes in too, but I'm not sure. She's in Portland, Maine, and the place is called "End of Life Electronics." or something like that. Sounds like a mortuary to me, but apparently business is good.
Family broken up
Does anyone else live with this experience? After my mom and dad split up (after us kids were grown), all the siblings went their separate ways and really do not have much to do with each other. Most of them (three brothers) have taken sides, (either mom's or dad's) but we have nothing to do with each other. Is this odd or usually the norm? 
Broken toes!
Wow, i have broken my 3 smallest toes on the right foot. Can you imagine, after 25 years of using the right foot, having to use the left foot until they heal? What a headache! I'm sure my line count will plummet!
Reply to Broken Down once...
I am finding out that he has been working all morning shutting things off - cancelled cell phone, car insurance, etc. That's more work than he's done in a month! I'm going to move to a town nearby my family just as soon as possible. I also have a little hand-held friend in my home to take care of him should he come back. I'm just getting prepared for his nonsense by gathering witnesses. As I stated in a more recent post, he has violated his order a couple of times today. I'm just waiting to see if the State's Atty will press charges. Not clear right now. Thanks for your concern. I'll keep you all posted.
another broken record...
me too. It absolutely befuddles me that anyone would be trying to get INTO this field, especially with all the ominous signs that are right out there for anyone to see. I think new moms with babes are just blinded by the idea of "working at home" and can't see the competition they are facing. Me, I am in nursing school... not an easy job by any means...but I'll be good at it and will find my niche quickly and will always have a job! My biggest account is making noise about getting a VR system. If I wasn't in nursing school, I would be having a panic attack instead!
Broken tape
HELP! I have had a microcassette tape break. Any ideas on how to fix it (if possible!)?
Thanks!
Broken tape. sm.
I just broke my dictation tape while rewinding it. Should I try to open it and put it back on the wheel. Any ideas. I has three days of dication on it. Thanks.
broken tapes
It is not your fault, many docs still use tapes and it has happened to me, they all do not want to change and use what works for them. Please don't be discouraged by negative comments. There are ways to splice a tape but I have forgotten what I did in the past, I think an office machine dealer did it for me. It's all part of being in the service business. Excuse any rude remarks, my heart goes out to you!
Don't know if this machine is broken or not...help?
Sorry to intrude here but someone in this crowd likely know the answer to my quandary(SP?)... I'm not a Transcriptionist but my neighbor wants me to sell these two machines he has. I learned trans back in high school (30 years ago!) but think these two machine "might" be broken. Both units are micro players (the Lanier VW-210 and Lanier P-101). Neither show the "units" or "location" in their digital displays... From my recall, the machine was supposed to tell you where in the tape you were (hence I believe the above indicators). Everything else works on the machines but if they're broken I don't think I should sell them. Any suggestions? I went looking for advice, online manuals, you name it. Whatever suggestions or advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated!
Can't type with a broken ankle?
Can't believe I am this right sided! I have a broken ankle (right) and can't seem to coordinate my left foot on the pedal with my hands on the keyboard! I know this will pass, but it sure is wierd!!!!
"I would rather be from a broken home than live in one"
Please get out of the situation you are in. You are not doing yourself or your children any favors by staying with this man who has great potential for violence. The best thing you can give your children is a healthy, happy mother. You do not deserve to live under threats all your life. Make plans and get out - you and your children will be grateful!
Broken tape memories
One of my docs about 15 years ago broke a tape and he spent more time putting the tape back together than it would have been if he had redictated. Another time, the same doc walked in my office and handed me the tape while I was running a finished tape through the little erase box and I immediately took it out of his hand and erased it right in front of him. I almost died. He always dictated on half speed to get more on a tape. What would you have done if you did that?
MT with broken wrist-need advice
I'm a single MT IC. I broke my wrist 12/31, had surgery and now have a cast. I worked a few days, but very painful and slow. Typing with one hand now. Haven't worked for 8 days. No work. No pay. Anyone else been in this situation? Did you apply for disability?
He owns it. I got an email from him with broken
resume removed.
HIPAA laws being broken.
Since nobody seems to care about MTs losing jobs & work being offshored, and it doesn't appear that they'll start taxing or otherwise financially punishing companies for doing it any time soon, what if we instead go at this from a HIPAA law point of view. If they would start fining companies who offshore for HIPAA violations for every single patient record, that might put a stop to it. HIPAA laws don't apply overseas & can't be enforced, and in this country HIPAA is a FEDERAL LAW. I'm going to start writing letters to Senators, Representatives, and the President, and I think if we all did that, maybe someone would take notice of this privacy law being violated.... We have to do something to save our jobs, we can't just sit back and complain amongst ourselves.

My foot pedal is broken, Whats the best to buy?
Im getting a new foot pedal, I need a heavy duty one cause this last one is about to give way.
So what is a great buy? Any recommendations?
Me, too, except for those multiple toe jobs where they ALL get broken & reset! Ugh..nm

I'm a broken record but I'm riding the train too
I'll just work as a nurse AND run my MTSO until the train falls off the track.
I have a broken cassette tape - where can I get it repaired
I tried doing a search on here, because a few years ago there was a post about a place that repairs broken cassette tapes. I kind of remember it being in Florida somewhere, but I cannot find the thread. Does anyone know where I can get a cassette tape fixed??? RAdio Shack says no, they don't fix them.
Hey Admin, sorry to hear about your broken leg! Feel better soon!
Soon you'll be dancin like this! 
If HIPPA laws are broken, whether overseas
or here, the US company making the contract with the overseas entity would be held liable for not adhering to HIPAA laws as they are responsible for those companies they contract with.
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".
Probably the same broken foot pedal I had sent to me TWICE! I packed it up myself, and got it back
again in my box, unopened!! Good luck. Not a good start, which I guess you are already sensing!
Other than it really is broken a lot, you cannot make a decent line count on it.
It is a horrible disorganized program that is not user friendly like some of the other ones i have had. Sound quality has to be the worst of any company there is. Tech support is nonexistant for at least 6 hours to 6 days. Pay is horrible, especially if you get stuck on editing an account (about 4 cpl) Happy bankrupcy
RE: Other than it really is broken a lot, you cannot make a decent line count on it.
Your opinion is not shared by many who work at Transcend. I personally get all the lines I need using BeyondTXT and I think it is a great platform for transcribing or editing, and I do both, and believe me I have never gotten close to starving. Editing compensation is 60% of transcribing line rate by the way and my compensation is not 4 cpl as you so erroneously posted.
I taped my broken tapes back in the days.

another thought - if you can't see under the water, possibly broken glass, or other sharp objects
which could cut you, and cause infection or tetanus.

Is it a conspiracy?
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.
I hear that; we had tapes broken several times where silly office people had put post-it notes on th
In retrospect, it was nearly laughable.
Yes, they are HORRIBLE
LIES, LIES, LIES. Line stealers, no help. There are plenty of other companies to work for. Please don't let Soft Script ruin you as an MT. Good luck.
They are horrible, horrible, horrible.
They advertise about how skilled their MTs are, yet they are recruiting MTs straight out of school. You need to start somewhere to get training, but you'll be sorry if you work for this company. They'll pay you peanuts and try to steal some of that, treat you like a dog and just leave you broken.
This is horrible!
Wow that is insane! I worked in medical records while training in coding and transcription. I was responsible for mailing the reports out. I made sure I got them out daily. The girl before me would hold them and the girl after me did the same thing. I never understood it. Those doctors need those for patient care. This is besides the fact that it just causes more work as the doctors will end up calling for the reports and someone will have to fax it to them if they need it whereas if they were sent right away time would have been saved on this. I think this is horrible as it ultimately will affect patient care not to mention productivity. In my opinion there is no excuse for this!
I used to have 1 PA who was horrible. Every
report was 20 to 30 minutes because he was such a bad dictator and was very disorganized. He always said "thank you for this dictation" at the end of every report.
I have several docs currently who say thank you at the end, some will say have a good weekend or happy holiday too.
How horrible!
My prayers are with her and her son.. I have a 3 year old son and hearing this makes my heart break for them!
That's horrible!
I would definitly take these findings to the company. Your initials are on those reports, and it could come back on you, not to mention what could happen to the patients whose medical records are being changed. I wouldn't hesitate. What a sad way for people to act!
that's horrible!
Gosh, I cannot imagine working for even one week without being paid! You surely have my sympathy. Wish we could think of a way to REALLY get the word out about them - like a full page newspaper ad or something. Wander if the Better Business Bureau would be appropriate? Or at least the Labor Board?
pay is horrible
That is funny cuz I had gotten an email stating that the starting pay is .5 cents a line 1-1200. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And that is not VR!!!
I do it too; it IS horrible nm

OMG, how horrible!
AHDI used to be AAMT, and it was my understanding that for what it's worth nowadays (IMO, zilch), the CMT credential was available only from AHDI (AAMT) after at least three years as a practitioner. This was a few years ago.
It's hard to believe that these unscrupulous places are victimizing those who don't know any better. One place to submit a complaint would be the Better Business Bureau.
This just sux. :(
OMG! How horrible! nm
