BeyondTXT & ENCORE platforms - nlk


Posted: Feb 28, 2012

can anyone tell me the pros/cons of either of these platforms used at Transcend?  Wink

BTXT, never used Encore - Scender

[ In Reply To ..]
I found BTXT super user friendly, but I moved to it from a system that was similar. If you make yourself a "cheat sheet" from the beginning w/ the shortcut keys, I found that very helpful.

BTXT - is a clunker

Slow, lots of different "tabs" to check and fill in before you can ever start typing. Also, there are issues with it kicking you out and sending jobs more than once. The ROM and team leaders will deny it but IT will say "oh, yeah, that's an issue... we know about that."

Encore-OK
Apr 26, 2013

I started with this company on Monday and I have over 30 years in MT.  Positives are straight typing, assighed work pool.  Negatives are getting pathology (never done it), rate of  pay depends on what work types your get.  They thow everying into the pool."  God forbid you dont have a report in immediately, I guess they dont want you to look anything up.  I averaged 500 lines a day.  I ran into internet issues yesterday, calling the cable company and the phone& ...


Transcenders Using Encore ???
Sep 22, 2011

On the new platform will you be able to see your line count as you go along or do you still have to go look it up the regular way.  At Webmedx it kept a running tab of your lines on the top of the page and you could kind of pace yourself.   I really liked that. Also, have they put out a schedule as to when each region will be going over to Encore?    ...

Transcend, New Encore Platform ?
Jul 26, 2011

Anyone from Transcend working on this yet and willing to give info on whether it makes demographics, etc. any easier?  Find it rather time consuming the way it is and was hoping there is a something good coming at the end of the rainbow. Hate that blue I and binocular crap. Luv everything else about company though. ...

Encore Gave Me Bad Paychecks
Aug 07, 2013

I thought I found a good company to work for until I got a two returned checks from them in the mail. The first time I thought mistakes can be made but AGAIN my check was returned. That really upsets me because I work hard for this company and they give me a bad check. There is no excuse for doing this to an employee. I have not been contacted about this check and I just quit because enough is enough. This is very dishonest and unprofessional to say the least. I have a family to take care ...

BeyondTXT Down For 4th Day In A Row

Maybe if we all refuse OT once the system is back up and running, this will give Nuance a good idea of what we think about their new pay scale.   ...


Transcend/beyondTXT
Nov 24, 2009

Can anyone give me any insight to the BeyondText VR platform at Transcend.  I have been offered a position that pays slightly less than my current company for VR.  The recruiter assured me this VR platform was super easy (but that is her job), so what does somebody who has actually worked on it think?  Can anyone compare its ease of use with Enterprise?  Thanks ...


Going From BeyondTXT To Emdat?
Oct 19, 2014

Hopefully leaving Nuance this week! Going to a company with Emdat as an IC.  I have to pretty much train myself on this (as I expected, being an IC) and so far it seems very similar to the older BeyondTXT.  A lot of the keyboard commands are the same as  BeyondTXT before we were switched to the newer (worse) eBeyondTXT.  Can anyone tell me how user friendly it ends up being?   ...


Any Info On Transcend, BeyondTXT

Still looking for any info on Transcend, BeyondTXT, and what do they pay for straight transcription versus VR.  Current employer considering outsourcing to this company, and would like to find out what I can.  You may also reply to me by e-mail if you wish.  Thank you. ...


Comparing Escript To BeyondTxt
Jan 05, 2010

I just started BeyondTxt so I am still new and getting used to the platform but when I worked Escript it was a big $$ maker for me. I'm finding that BeyondTxt does not pick up things like Escript did and a lot has to be redone, sometimes keeping only 1-2 lines of text and having to redo the whole rest of the report for only editing pay. I NEVER had to do this on Escript.  It leaves off words and paragraphs and does not pick up very clear speach. Am I not giving it enough of a chance? I ...


Used To Love Editing, Then I Tried BeyondTxt
Jan 28, 2010

I am dying to go back to working with Editscript where I made good money.  I can't do BeyondTxt.  You can't go 2 sentences without running into at least 1 edit and that is being generous becuase it is usually multiple edits in every sentence.  It has no idea where to put commas.  They either have to be deleted or added.  It doesn't learn specs.  Doesn't know how to use hyphens and adds them to everything.  What is spoken clear as a whistle c ...


I Have A Question For CrankyOldBroad Regarding BeyondTXT
Feb 21, 2010

I worked on DEP before too and heard that we will be switching to voice recognition before the end of the year also.  My question is regarding the headings and how they rearrange things on the back end so that we don't have to worry about formatting.  When I worked on DEP, it more or less did that also.  Our headings were already preinserted and we didn't have to edit them or type verbatim with the headings.  They did the same thing for the canned sections of the re ...


Does Shorthand Work In BeyondTxt?
Mar 18, 2010

I am thinking it will probably work as I haven't found anything it doesn't work in yet, but just want to confirm.  Not looking forward to yet another transition, which will be even worse if I have to convert my expander.  Thanks. ...

Transcend/BeyondTXT Question
Sep 22, 2011

Love it so far, but I have a dumb question if anyone has a second.  Sometimes I "lose" (probably my fault) the screen that shows job avaibility.  Can anyone tell me where to find it or how to get it back?  TIA.  Please, no haters.  I won't feed trolls. ...


BeyondTXT Platform TERRIBLE
Oct 17, 2012

I felt that I had to let MTs know some information about the BeyondTXT platform.... I have been an acute care MT for 30 years and I recently went with Transcend/Nuance using the above platform. For example, compared to some other programs like DocuMed, Dictaphone, etc., it is absolutely the worst and most unfriendly program I have ever trained or worked on. It is not all-in-one area.  Your work pool is in one area and the document is in another, plus the demographic screens are all over t ...


Account At Trascend Moving To BeyondTXT
Jul 02, 2010

So we were informed our account is going to BeyondTXT.  They said this is a great platform and we will be able to more than make up for the 50% paycut we will be taking.  I just don't buy it though.  Does anybody have anything good to say about BeyondTXT to put by fears at ease? ...


Learning Curve From Bayscribe To BeyondTxt

Editing VR In BeyondTxt Has Made Me Severely Depressed.
May 02, 2010

I have never felt more worthless in my life.  I work for about half the pay, it takes longer to do because the drafts are so awful.  You get marked down if you don't use shortcut keys to navigate or whatever and the object is to keep you fingers on the keyboard, but you cannot keep them in the position you need to for transcribing or fixing all the problems.   I find my right hand is always on the control+delete key or end key, and my fingers constantly on the period or ...


Platforms?
Jun 23, 2010

Could somebody explain to me what a platform is? I am being asked what kind of platforms I am familiar with and I'm not sure what they are looking for here. I have always done my reports in Word or Clarus in Windows XP, received my files via the internet through an FTP or through digital voice through a C-phone, and used only a SmartType word expander as addition software. I know this sounds like such a dumb question, but I am really not sure what I am looking for here. Thanks much! ...


Platforms For MT's
Jan 27, 2012

Having been a transcriptionist for years and having worked on a few different platforms, I feel that the platform itself is our major tool for achieving production. I hate the platform I am on now and feel so frustrated that I used to make more because the platform allowed me to produce.  Would anyone like to share which platforms they thought were great as well as which ones werent?  ...

Ease Of Use Platforms

Hi all, I am going to be starting a job with Focus Infomatics soon, and I wanted to know about their platforms.  They said they work with Dictaphone, eScription, and I don't remember the name of the other one.  Anyway, I heard that the platforms are not as user friendly as some others.  Does anyone ha e some input for me? Just a note, my key right beside my c isn't working.  In case you were wondering.  I should probably get that before I start working! ...
