eScription. Need INFO. - torn


Posted: Apr 09, 2012

Anybody who uses eScription, please tell me:

1.  How many lines you produce per hour.  

2.  How long did it take you to get accustomed.

3.  Do you like it?

4.  Do you prefer it to ST?

5.  Anything else you want to add?  

I may jump the ST onto VR but I'm scared shi*less.  Please, please anything anybody can tell me.  I've been in this business a LONG time and it's hard to teach an old dog new tricks but maybe?!?!?!  I need advice!  Thank You In Advance!

it's ok - Pjk

The hospital I work for switched to this about a year ago. It took a few months to get used to it, especially since for a while all of the doctors were still getting voice recognized. Since then, I think I have liked it way better than ST, I get through the reports way faster (less boring, too!). Anyway, some are better than others when it comes to their voice recognition. I have had some where I don't have to make very many corrections and some where I have to make a lot of corrections. It is easier if they use a template and then you can add it in, makes it quicker too. I don't pay attention to lines because I get paid hourly. I do know people though that say they make less depending on the quality of the VR and how many corrections they have to make, especially since VR is paid less per line than ST.

It helps if you are a fast reader, I have my audio speed setting at about 150% (also been doing mainly the same doctors for 6 years, so I am used to them)

here's my answers..... - mt2

1. Not much - 250 of speech on a good day per hour.
2. Still getting used to it, never did it before.
3. NO.
4. NO.
5. Can't wait until I either retire or find a different line of work.

Sorry, but that's the truth.

Should add.... - mt2

If it paid better than 4 cpl, I might like it better.

Any Info About EScription?
Dec 31, 2009

I currently work at Focus Infomatics in the NetCare platform doing regular MT and VR work.  I just got switched over to working QC on their eScription platform, which I'm really excited about.  I did one training course for it (to start out in regular MT, but will have to do another training course for QC after I get used to everying on the platform) but I haven't started yet.  The one training course really made it seem easy to learn and much mo ...

It isn't easy to get off some of the spam and phone call lists when you click for more information about some of these courses. I've found that for me, it isn't worth it to get that information if I am giving up my privacy. Some of these people are relentless! You can't get away from them once they get your information. There is one in particular that makes sure you hear from them every day in one form or another. They become your best friend, even if you weren't lookin ...

TTS Escription
Jan 25, 2015

For a company with technology in its name, I find this platform sorely lacking. Constantly having to correct capitals I don't want when I take out a period, it not putting a macro over what I want to change and all this backing up and retyping to change stuff or get a macro to work where I want it is driving me crazy (I know, short trip) and wasting a lot of time.   Don't they have any engineers or programmers who can get around this?  Guess I just got spoiled at Precyse; mac ...

Anyone on this platform, please tell me it gets better. I spent 2-1/2 hours and got absolutely nothing done. Demographics locked up completely and I had to X out, sending the work back to pool. Tried to upload, but kept telling me to confirm demographics which I did, then demographics header grayed out completely, then tried to upload, and again message to confirm demographics, which had been confirmed and were now locked up and grayed out. The entire platform seems just plain overwhelming wit ...

After 40 years on the job and getting tired of typing, when out of a job this last time (there have been so many times of late because of ...well most of you already know how goes it with our profession), I decided to just go for what seems to be taking over transcription anyway.  Thanks to this board and all the talk about the different platforms, I took a job with a company that uses EditScript, and I am thrilled.  In those 40 years, I have had to do a lot of proofreading as a super ...


Turning Off EScription's Red Box
Nov 05, 2009

Is there a way to turn this box off? Our system is not well trained yet so there is a lot of editing required. The alt-K combination is awkward for me when having to stop every few words to correct something. I edit by forwarding my cursor through the document (like the red box does) but then there is no extra work in bringing the cursor forward to where the edit needs to made as it is already there. Thanks for the input! ...


I'm Back With More ?? For Escription
Nov 12, 2009

I have now been doing EditScript for a month now and my lines are still horrific. I've read the manual over and over and still have the below questions. I'm only doing 1/4 of what I used to do and it hurts. 1.  I have to minimize and maximize my screen to see more than 10-14 lines. Anyone else have this problem? I think it has something to do with the header because if I change something in the header, I have to minimize and maximize again. 2.  I follow the red bo ...
