ChartScript.net- Linecount and other issues - Radiology MT CC


Posted: Nov 03, 2011

Good day all!

My employer is switching to ChartScript.net and I am very concerned.  I have heard a lot of bad things about the net version of ChartScript, though mostly from people who used it a few years ago, so wondering what current net users think.

-Line counts- Have heard some reports get lost in the system, demographics/headers/footers, etc are not counted and that line counts seem to far off from what MT expects based on other line counts programs/MS word line counts- How hard is it to get your line count?

-So many more keystrokes and mouse clicks to navigate reports and templates with awkward finger/hand positions like ctrl+j and ~, etc.  Have you noticed this hurting your producitivity. 

I am accustomed to typing 275-325 lines per hour (by current platform and MS word counts), so am really concerned about the line count issue.  Any insight would be much appreciated from current users.  Also any tips for the transition or to help productivity.

Thanks so much, CC

We are switching too... - ERMT

New To Chartscript
Jan 31, 2013

I just started a new job as an IC, and the platform is Chartscript.  Most of it seems straightforward, but I've only worked on it for a couple of hours.  Is there a way to keep a job from downloading when you open Transcribe to look at old jobs?  I don't want to keep hitting cancel.  Thanks in advance! ...

Chartscript.net Question
Nov 17, 2010

Not sure if anyone can help on this but figured it might be worth a shot. I am working on chartscript.net and it has some preloaded garbage in the abbreviation expander.  These are basically global expansions and I am wondering if there is any way to delete them.  I can add my own expansions and edit and delete those with no problem but have not been able to figure out a way to either turn them off, delete them, or whatever.  If anyone has had this situation and can give me a sugg ...

Chartscript At Keystrokes
Aug 19, 2012

Please give me your opinion of this program. Do you have to keep a separate log of every single job you do? Do you find it productive? Does Instant Text work well with it? Do you need to use your mouse with it or can you get by with all keyboard commands?   Thanks. ...


Using Shorthand With Chartscript
Jul 02, 2013

Hello to all :) I need help.  I use Shorthand Version 10 and just started working in Chartscript.  I access Chartscript through a virtual private network, Oracle VM Virtual Box. Shorthand won't work at all. I looked to see if there was a box to uncheck for the "Enable Protected Mode" issue, and there is no box there to uncheck (Tools, Internet Options, Security tab). I did also change SH to run in compatibility mode and when I restarted SH I was able to see my little yellow window ...

Problem With Shorthand And Chartscript.net
Sep 16, 2011

I am using Shorthand and Chartscript.net.  They don't seem that compatible with each other because no matter what setting I try, my expansions often come out wrong.  For example, I'll get "pr.n." instead of "p.r.n." or "MEICAL HISTORY" instead of "MEDICAL HISTORY" or "PHYICAL XAMINATION" instead of "PHYSICAL EXAMINATION."  The entries are correct in Shorthand, but letters and characters are just getting cut off.  It's kind of driving me crazy because it m ...

Chartscript Font Switching?
Sep 10, 2013

I'm working on an account that uses Chartscript, and something fairly bizarre is happening to my notes.  When I submit the jobs they are in Times New Roman font, I'm double-checking to make sure that's the case, but at some point after submission they are switching to Arial!  I have no clue why it's happening, apparently it's not only me, but is happening to some others, but not everyone.  Does anyone have any idea why, or what I can do about it?  ...


Question For ChartScript Experts. Is There Any Way To

Chartscript.net Compatible With Instant Text?

The company I work for is switching to Chartscript.net today. I have asked if this new platform is compatible with Instant Text and the answer I received is basically they believe it is, but will not know until I go into the program. Does anyone here work with Chartscript.net? We previously used Chartscript which is word-based and very user-friendly, however, Chartscript.net platform is not. Any feedback is much appreciated!  ...


Chartnet Platform Versus Chartscript
Mar 02, 2011

My company just switched us over to the Chartnet platform.  I don't like it and I'm sure not seeing what all the excitement was about.  I was able to make 320-350 lph on Chartscript and yesterday I ended the day with about 200 lph on Chartnet.  I am a glass half full person so before I come to the conclusion that management just hyped this platform to try and keep us enthusiastic and on board for a smooth transition, could somebody tell me what features about Chart ...
