EMDAT versions - tiredfingers


Posted: Mar 25, 2013

I just started work with another company that uses EMDAT. I updated to the version they uses, which I think is higher than the one I currently use. When I sign in under my old company ID everything works. Is there a big problem using a different version? Is it possible to load another EMDAT screen onto my desktop if there is?

I would suggest you update to the newer version - EmdatQA

just to be safe. I have that situation where I work for more than one company on the Emdat platform and the two companies were not using the same version. I was required to update with the second company and had no problems using the updated one for the company using the older version.

No, it's not possible to load it in a second time and have two versions running at the same time. It will over-write the older version, not give you a fresh install for a second version.

Emdat QA version must be same or higher than MT - EmdatQA2

the only problem that will arise is if you use a higher version than QA...I ran into that, a couple of MTs had updated before told to and the reports loaded pretty freaky. QA must have same or higher version than the MTs for the documents to properly load.

Thanks! - tiredfingers

Thanks for the input. I wondered difference it would make and that explains it.

Also, input from those who have converted on how they like it, how long it took to get up to speed, etc. would be helpful.  Shoot ...

Ever Known A Company To Not Accept OEM Microsoft Versions?
Jul 03, 2010

I want to buy an OEM version of Microsoft Office on Ebay, but I'm hesitant because I'm worried it won't be compatible with my company's software. I asked my company, of course, but it will be a wait because it's the weekend. I just wanted to see if any of you have ever come across a company that did not accept the OEM version of Microsoft Word or Office. Thanks! ...


Express Scribe Older Versions
Jul 29, 2013

I've read posts that suggest downloading older versions if the newest version causes trouble with files (which it is).  Yesterday I tested with a really great company that I hope to work for.  There were 4 test files on MTTest that I used Express Scribe 5.57 (newest version, free 14-day trial).  One test made it through, but the other 3 did not.  I did keep getting kicked out of the company's website after test dictation.  Then I'd come back in and go thro ...

EMDAT
Apr 12, 2014

Would somebody be willing to tell me a little bit about EMDAT?  I have never used the software and from what I've heard, it is very simple and productive.  I find it to be just the opposite. Is dictation completed using a foot pedal or is it geared for keyboard controls only?  Is word-expander software utilizable with EMDAT. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Lynette     ...

I am currently using EMDAT as my platform. My company recently upgraded from 4.95 to 4.96. I keep getting a Microsoft error every time I try to upgrade.

Emdat Company?

I'm confused.  I interviewed for an IC position for what they said is an Emdat company.  But looking online, Emdat is a platform, not an MT company.  Can someone please clarify?  The rates are really low for an IC and they don't pay for characters that are in normals.  Plus she said you work for all different accounts--just log on and grab work off the system when you're scheduled.  Is that on the up and up?  How can you have a schedule and ...
