EMDAT Inscribe platform. Info please - SuzyQ

Posted: Mar 15, 2012

I just installed this on my computer. Wow, I was dumfounded. I have trained to learn Escription, DocQScribe, Pscribe and Chartnet. I really don't think I am that stupid to learn a new platform, but this has to be the most complicated program I have ever seen. I did not give up right away -- that is not in my nature. But after struggling for about 2 hours, I finally gave up. Honestly if they tried, I don't think the maker of this program could have made it more complicated -- I give up.

Any comments from all you MT's out there.

I did not like EMDAT Inscribe when I worked on it, but I only worked on it for about 2 weeks and didn't really have a good chance to evaluate it. I went from using a Word-based platform to EMDAT, so I really missed the robust features of Word and the robust spellchecker. It was definitely a lot more clunky to use than any other system I have worked on in my limited experience with it, but most of my jobs have been on Word-based platforms. I have heard MTs say they like it, though, once they got used to it.

I LOVE Emdat... - MT

I've worked on it for 6 years and would hate to learn a new platform. In fact, it's limited me because I just hate to change. I think it's soooo easy. I see absolutley no problems with it but, then, I have nothing to compare to. LOL

Didn't mind it. - anon

I really did not mind Emdat. It was the first program I had experience with so maybe that makes all the difference.

And I enjoy it, make a lot of money with it. I have worked on a number of platforms and find this to be one of the easiest. Did you do the self-training or just jump in to try to figure it out by youself? If you do each one, it walks you through the entire program. Very easy to follow along. I like that I don't have to take my hands off the keyboard very often. There are keystroke combinations for almost everything.

I love Emdat because... - MT

I don't have to use a foot pedal. It is so much easier for me since I'm short and always HATED using foot pedals. I will do anything almost to avoid using a foot pedal. I HATE foot pedals.

Hi...in spite of prior negative remarks about this platform, in my opinion it can't be easier. So simple and convenient. I think my job as an IC is going to be eliminated without warning and am doing a preliminary job search. Anyone know of any companies that are decent and use the Emdat Inscribe platform? I wonder, since Nuance owns Emdat....you don't suppose only Nuance can use the platform? ...

Would anyone be interested in helping me learn the basics on how to use the inscribe emdat platform?

I am looking for a way to search for terms and/or phrases across all reports using the Prior Report feature in the EMDAT/Inscribe program. For example, I pull up the prior progress notes for Dr. **** because I am looking for some of the phrases he uses in the Physical Exam section or a particular phrase or a word, etc. Is there a search feature where I can type in “Physical Exam” and the program will search and stop on each of these instances from the prior report listing until I fin ...

I've been using an old version(4.3) with the OK of the company I transcribe for. But I'm now having so many technical issues that I need to install the upgrade of 4.97.394. A previous upgrade required the use of the InScribe internal player. I tried this, bought 2 different foot pedals, and neither one worked for me, as both interfered with my expansions. One pedal I tried was the Start-Stop. If I was in the process of starting or stopping play at the same time I wa ...

EMDAT INSCRIBE USERS Can someone give me some feedback on how user friendly the Inscribe transcription platform is? Does it have a good spellchecker? If your internet connection drops do you lose your report. Can you use PC Shorthand with it? Does it have a good voice player? Can you slow the player speed down for superfast dictators? Compatible with Infinity USB foot pedal? Are you able to be productive on this platform? ...

I just started a job using Emdat Inscribe, and my footpedal I ordered hasn't come in yet, so I have been using the function keys to play audio. I have been doing this for about a week now with no problem, but today I log in to work though and the keys are no longer working. The only way I can get the audio to play is by using the mouse. Anyone know why this may be? I haven't changed any of the settings, so I am not sure why they won't work now. TIA. ...

I am just starting to use Inscribe and have InstanText. It will link up with Inscribe, because when I type, entries are showing up in IT, but when I go to expand an entry with the semi-colon as usual, it will not expand. Anyone know how to fix this? I have linked it, checked the link automatically box, also. Thanks! ...

Does anyone know if there is any way to transfer an Instant Text glossary to AutoText inthe EmDat InScribe platform? I have an IT glossary with many thousands of entries but can't get my IT to work with this platform (or maybe it is because I have to use my personal computer which is a Windows 7 64-bit and I only have IT V and I don't want to spend the $ for IT 7 just yet). Any ideas? TIA! ...

My company was acquired by Nuance and I guess Nuance now has taken ownership of Emdat. All of sudden today, I can't get my foot pedal to play. I tried to reconfigure and it just sits there waiting for me to to press play, though I'm pressing, releasing, pressing and releasing and nothing. My foot pedal worked Friday when I logged off and it still works in my other transcription applications. Anyone else on this platform with this problem? Did Nuance/Emdat ...

I'm trying to use my SH with the Emdat Inscribe platform but have been having some issues. Sometimes when I type a shortcut, it does not expand. Like I will type "tp" and it does not expand to "the patient", it just stays "tp". If I backspace and delete it and retype it again, then it will expand. Also, shorthand is deleting random characters when it expands. Like I will type "nad" and it will expand "no cute distress" instead of "no acute distress". It just deletes random letter!? Ha ...

I just finished the Etrain for Emdat Inscribe and at this point not sure how I will like this platform. It seemed as though it involves a lot of steps to do everything. Is this because I'm just not used to it and will it get better for me as I begin to do work? Lately every company I work for has some awful type of platform that makes it impossible to produce a good amount of work. Please share your experience in how long it took you to become proficient on this platform. Thanks ...

I would like to know what type of foot pedal works with this platform. I have an Infinity USB 1 foot pedal and find that it doesn't work very well on this platform. It just seems to get stuck and I can't get it to stop playing or go forward or back...it's driving me crazy and costing me time and money. I can practically jump up and down on the pedal and it still doesn't stop playing. I have to manually go to the top of the screen and move the thing at ...

Thanks to those who replied about the Inscribe foot pedal rewind.. That works well now. Just wondering about Auto Text now. I used to use that with my last account with Word 2000; highlight a common phrase, then Alt-F3. The phrase would then pop up in a little screen tip above the word or letters I used to name the phrase. I used this along with ShortCut macro program - had used both of them a lot. Inscribe doesn't seem to ...
