Anyone like dictaphone for VR, or prefer Escription? What is the average lines per hour anyone makes with either platform? I am relatively new with VR and need to know if it is really worth the 0.4 cpl? I was told 400-600 lines an hour will probably be my average, closer to the 600 ...

I am a newbie to the profession, and Nuance is my first employer. I graduated from MTEC a year ago, and I've been working since February. I'm looking for MTs who work on the same platform as I do because I am not even close to making enough money to pay my bills. My TL told me that our team has people (no names were offered) who consistently do 20K+ lines per payperiod and presumably make all kinds of money. If this is true, then I ...

I have always used eScription which is a much friendiler platform. This is the first time I have used this program and I'll be lucky to make $50 a day. I realize it is something new for me, but from those who use it regularly, am many lines can you average an hour. I need some hope here. ...

After working a half hour out of 2 hours of my shift, I am now sitting on the couch with my puppy leaving messages for TAA office, filing for unemployment and now talking with unemployment office while they figure out how the TAA petition works.

Will be many different clinics. I am accustomed to acute care only but this account will be about 70 percent clinic and 30 percent acute care. TIA ...

The company I work for is changing over to ChartNet, with its ExpandText expander. I don't like that it has no way of adding/creating new shortcuts without using the mouse. The expander I use now is not compatible with ChartNet, and I'm wondering which expander is used by the majority of MTs....has no limit to the number of expansions/abbrevs it can hold, etc. Would welcome any suggestions. Thinking about Shorthand, but wondering what most MTs are using. ...

Hi everybody, I have been utilizing Instant Text for about 6 months now, which has helped my production. However, I know there are many things I can do to update, improve my Instant Text glossaries. I really do not use the Word glossary because I found that it was hard for me to look at both glossaries at the same time. I mainly use the phrase glossary. For Instant Text users, here are some of my questions: 1. I mainly transcribe ED reports. Do you think it is more productive to ...

Can you ever get productive on MModal in the straight typing mode? Having to ctl+N and Ctl+shift+N for every header just doesn't seem productive.
