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 the place. The dictation quality is extremely poor with all sorts of background noises, etc.
I knew in training last week that something was not right with the platform, and then my first work day yesterday confirmed what I already knew. Even with all of my years of experience, it would take months to even reach their minimum requirements.
Supposedly in January, they will be going to another platform ebeyondTXT (word-based program), but who knows what that will be like.
I would ***CAUTION*** anyone thinking about the BeyondTXT platform. I am sure there are some MTs that like the program, but it is one of the worst programs I have ever seen....
P.S. Not only do you have to use your own PC, you will have to purchase a text expander program like Shorthand, for example, on your own. The platform has nothing built into it.....
