Does anyone know which company has the eScription account for the St. David's system in Austin, Tx?
I don't know but wow you took me back (sm) - Long time MT

St. David's Austin was my first real acute care MT job a very, very long time ago. I am still close friends with the woman who was my supervisor and she's now 88!
Yep, I do....sm - .....

I worked on that account up until the end of February. Believe me, you don't want to go there.
Superior Global has the account BUT they subcontract it to The Transcription Doctors (yes, the ones you read about on here all the time for not paying in a timely manner.). The reason I know is because I worked on the account temporarily for Houck (who also doesn't pay on time) and when the temporary account went bye bye at the end of February, I was told it is subcontracted to The Transcription Doctors for Superior and we were only working on it temp. I do not work for Houck anymore though anyway because like I said they do not pay on time. So if you want to work on that account, you will probably have to work for The Transcription Doctors.
Hi all. I may be getting a job offer from a company called Meditask in Austin.
I have also heard from a company called Anarak, but not sure what's going on with that one.
Is anyone familiar with either of these companies or does anyone have any experience with working for either of them??
I would really be glad to hear from any of their current employees too, if any of you are out there. Thanks in advance for any info or advice you can offer!! ...
Any information good, bad, and/or indifferent. Did a search and really can't find any information on this particular office. I know they use the GEMMS system is about all I know about them.
Any information you are willing to share would be appreciated - inquiring minds want to know! ...
Is this platform good/bad/indifferent. I have used ExSpeech which was a horrible platform. Just wondering what is an average line count/hour that you can get on this platform. I know there are a lot of variables, but a "ball park" idea would be great!
Thanks, ...
I have no choice but to accept because the rug has been pulled from under me and my fellow co-workers. Hospital outsourced to a transcription company and 0.37 cpl is what they are offering us using eScription. ...
I am new to escription and start with my new job on Tuesday. Is there any advice beforehand? I really need a job at home right now or I wouldn't even give VR a second look. But because it is what it is I was wondering if anyone could give me pointers? Thanks. ...
Hi there! I posted a while back b/c i was a bit nervous after 20 years going to voice rec. Its only been a week now and i really REALLY love it. I enjoy it. Okay shoot me now I konw most of you hate it.
Anyway, I remember when i started a regular transcriptiion job a few years ago and i had to get used to an entirely new system, i was going so incredibly slow i never thought id be able to make a living with all the little bits and details. But it worked out fine and i eventually got it down ...
Does anyone who does QA on escription/editscript know how to get their counts? I know MTs get their line count through the transcription metrics, is it the same for QA?
Thank you,

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 ...
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 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 ...
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 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 ...
What are your computer specs?
DH brought up a good question tonight. I have recently moved from my old faithful with 80 MB hard drive with 512 memory to 380 GB hard drive with 3 MB memory. i have had nothing but problems with Escription and not making my lines. I can't just use the shortcut keys and I can't use my expander. DH stated maybe I don't have what I need in the computer to make things work correctly (this coming from someone who never touched one in his life!).&nbs ...
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! ...
Can anyone tell me how to bring up old patient files on Escription/EditScript using version 8? My company just upgraded from version 6 becasue it is not being supported anymore. There are some changes between the two versions. They did not give any directions, just said you need to upgrade, so do this. I would really love to be able to go back and check things sometimes such as medications and previous diagnoses to make sure I hear them correctly, particularly when the sp ...
I have been on the job 2 weeks and my TL went into early labor and obviously is unavailable and trying to get help is close to impossible. Do anyone out there have the shortcut keys for Escription platform, the newer version or old version. Heck, anything right now would help me out---Thank you all so much ...
Hi, I am curious to find out everyone's opinion on the Escription platform as far as production, ease of use, etc. I have been offered a position and would be using Escription on a mostly speech rec account at .05 cpl, along with incentives. Is that a good rate for Escription? I have heard it's the best platform and would like to know what people typically average on their lines per hour, along with how long the learning curve typically is. Thanks for any info y ...
I need to know if eScription has the capability to "monitor" your work habits. Meaning, does it log you off after a certain amount of time of not working?
Does this sound like it is eScription or something else?
Production time is tracked off the technology system and monitors the time you are actually in the document working (hands on the keyboard or foot on the pedal). If you are idle in excess of 4 minutes the time stops tracking. You must remain acti ...
Which is the best platform to work on? I have Dictaphone experience, but have never worked on Escription. I hear that Escription you can make more money. Is this true? Please provide info. ...
