Just wondering what people think about the platform EditScript.. would love to hear opinions, pros and cons. Is it easy to learn?
Thanks.
It is my favorite platform - anon

It is easy to learn and I produce more on it than other platforms I have used (including Fluency at MM). It seems to do a pretty decent job on VR.

Thanks, that's very encouraging. Can you look up prior reports on an account using EditScript - or does it depend on the account?
I think it depends on the company - anon

I work at Nuance and we have to go to a special website to look up old reports.

Do you get paid for spaces working with EditScript?
Again, probably depends on the company. Mine pays for spaces. NM - anon

Sounds very good. Is there some site where you can review how EditScript works, or do you just have to wait until the company trains you?
Does anyone know if there is any difference in EditScript MT 9 and EditScript MT 9.12? If there is, how can we update this?
It seems that my new place of employments line counting is not the same as my old place of employment. New employer has EditScript 9, while my old work had EditScript 9.12, and my line count was much more at my previous employer. Now it seems I can put out tons of work and see not much for lines... Very frustrating.
When questioning my employer now, they say t ...
Hi All....
I was just hired by an MT company that uses EditScript. This is a brand new experience for me as my previous MT job did not use this platform. I've been studying the user manual and specs, but am nervous about starting tonight. I'll be starting out with 10 reports. I know it will be "SLOW GOING" especially tonight. I want to do a good job, but worry about being too slow at first. Any words of advice or encouragement out there??? I could use some ...
I am going to be going to ES VR. I have been working on Dictaphone Extext straight typing and a little VR. I did not find VR in Dictaphone to be good. I have done ES before, and I believe it is better.
Considering the chump change we make to do VR, do you think you are paid enough to proof your work after you have edited the report, or do you do a once over and go on to the next one? I mean, really, with what we make, we really have to do a once over to make anythi ...
Offered a job with this company on EditScript platform. I still have job with major company. Should I make the switch. Pay is the same but run out of work a lot where I am now. ...
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 ...
I have a VEC USB port. I cannot seem to get it to work in EditScript. I also have Express Scribe. Is there a way to get the foot pedal to work. Checked Belkin instructions, and there is no foot pedal listed in my ports. BTW, don't have Belkin so wont work anyway.
Any help would be appreciated. ...
I posted this on the company board but this might be a better place...I work at FocusInfomatics...QC..just started not that long ago. Many years of experience with editing, QA, MT, etc. I'm new to VR. I would love to hear what to expect for production as right now...it's not so good. I understand variables, etc. My work load is very low right now but that is supposedly going to change soon. With QCing everything to sound, can someone tell me what they ...
I recently upgraded to EditscriptMT 8 from verson 6 and now find I cannot look back at old records as I used to do and check for familiar phrases, medication lists or other information. Does anyone know how to look back at previously transcribed/edited patient records in EditscriptMT verson 8? Thank you in advance. ...
I am starting a new job that uses Escription and Editscript. I use Shorthand as an expander and Spellex as my medical dictionary. Does anyone know if these will function correctly in those programs? Thanks! ...
I know that if you use Autocorrect, your information needs to be transferred over into Editscript. If you use Shorthand instead, how do you go about getting THAT information transferred over into Editscript? Thanks!!! ...
So you get a report where the text has been typed by a computer. Then you must edit it. My sources (a large regional hospital MT Dept) tells me that the computer generated text is only 50% accurate, a far cry from what the vendors will tell the dupes at the hospitals who are buying into this junk. ...
Can someone enlighten me on Ediscript(Escription). What is Editscript 8.0 and the older version. Can someone give me some general information regarding Editscript and what is the newest version and the oldest version,etc--thanks ...
We're starting EditScript soon and we were told our current expander InstantText is not compatible. I have read the archives and apparently others are using them together. Anyone using them both now? Anything I should know. ...
I have read to many articles on MT stars to get my smartype to work with Editscript. Last night it worked briefly but I would have the hit the spacebar and the type the first letter and then choose the expansion. Then it did not work again. There has to be a way for smartype to work with Editscript. There is enought computer "wizards" that this probably could be resolved. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would hate to give up on this program number 1 i ...
What are your average lines per hour for editing? Acute care. We are transitioning over and most dictations have not gone into editing yet. We are curious as to what your productivity is. So far the drafts are amazingly good. This is all new to us. I have read through the archives but they are not very recent. Thank you to anyone who answers. ...
Can any of you tell me some companies that use EditScript? I'm thinking about changing companies and really like the EditScript platform.
Thank you in advance!! ...
I am new to editscript and have worked a long time on another platform. Can someone tell me where the save button or icon is to save changes/corrections? I really would appreciate your help here. I realize this is probably some little something I am missing, but I sure would feel better if I could just find it and save changes before uploading to make sure changes were saved. Thank you in advance. ...
The hospital I work for changed over the Editscript last year. Changeover went relatively smoothly, and we still had plenty of work to keep all the transcriptionists busy (after we stopped outsourcing the overflow we used to have). Recently, the hospital switched to Epic electronic medical record system, and within a week the transcription workload plumeted to probably 40% of our former workload --not enough to keep our transcription staff busy. It seems the doctors/nurses/etc ...
My work PC crashed and I am trying to contact supervisors, but the email bounces back and my supervisor is off today and not returning my calls. I just need to know what the username is in Escription. I thought it was first name.last name, but that is not working. Can anyone help? I need to get the number for technical support, so if anyone can help me and just give me that, I would appreciate it. Thanks. I'm trying to download editscript on my home PC. ...
