Is it easy to learn?  TIA

I worked for a company that did overflow for FN and - anon

at the time they used MModal. I hated it. Not sure if they have different platforms or not.

FN platformS - unkown

They currently have more than one platform, but are VERY HEAVILY USING M-MODAL, although supervisors had indicated that the M-Modal platform was to be phased out. M-Modal is the worst platform I have ever used for VR or traditional transcription, IMO. The work statistics show a lot of work on this platform with minimal people working at any given time. I can only assume that the work then gets sent to secondary MTSOs to get cleared out.

The company only cares about how the technical side works in regards to transferring data, absolutely not how the platforms perform for the editors or MTs. And they certainly do not care if your paycheck suffers because of slow functions on the platforms or other issues.

Yes, I am on my way out the door.

Dragon Naturally Speaking Compatible With Scribe Platform?
Oct 02, 2014

I'm wondering if anyone knows if Dragon Naturally Speaking is compatible with Transportal's platform, I believe it's Scribe?  This is the home version, which worked quite well in the past.  I know there are a few that won't allow third party software and the program will be blocked.  I understand why as regard to HIPAA, etc.  I'm just trying to keep working as long as I can with RA. If anyone is using Dragon in conjunction with MTSO platform, I' ...

Speaking Of Shorthand

I have had Shorthand for about a year and have never had a problem with it. Recently I noticed some of the words I have in it type out wrong. Costing me a lot of time to have to go back and fix. Sometimes if I erase and type again, then it will come out correctly. Anyone have a similar problem with Shorthand? Would it have anything to do with my license expiring in about 3 weeks?  ...

Let me tell you what happened to me the other day. I am traveling next week to Houston. I called a hotel there to make reservations. I said my name and then since it is sort of a long one, said let me spell that for you. Well no matter how much spelling I did, breaking it down into slow, 3 letters at a time, the person NEVER got it on the other end. I spelled the last name probably a total of 6 times total. In order to get confirmation through my email, it is my last name and then first and you ...

I had a horrible sound quality report from a dictator I'd never done before. He wasn't too bad, but the sound quality was terrible and it was a surgical speciality that is not too common and I've maybe had one other report on that speciality in the last 3 months. I had to leave a BIG bunch of blanks. Hated to do it. Of coure it was many more over what I am allowed, so I turned it in to QA and was looking forward to seeing what the corrections were because that is a good learni ...
