Posted: Apr 02, 2010
Do these companies want you to use their proprietary software on your PC, and how is it installed?

Sure some of them do. I work for 2 different MTSO's and have different software from both of them. One I installed myself over the internet with their help and the other they had remote access to my computer and installed their program. I sat with them on the phone while they installed it and saw what they were doing. It just took a little while and when it was installed, they logged off and no longer had access to my computer. I had to log into something (don't remember what it was) in order to give them temporary remote access. It was actually quite simple.
I'm not the most tech savvy person, obviously, and was wondering if anyone can tell me what is meant by "Wav files/proprietary software." I was hoping to apply for a job that requires this, but even after googling it, I don't really understand if this is something I would need to buy or what. I'm also wondering how jobs are sent back and forth when transcribing in MS Word. I've only worked on actual transcription platforms, Cornerstone, DQS, etc., that had a simple upload/tra ...
I'll be starting with SoftScript soon. What is their platform like? Is it easy to use? Kind of scared about starting a new position on a platform I have never heard of. ...
What other programs besides Start/Stop and Express Scribe are out there. For various reasons, I am unable to use either of these programs and need to find something else... but whenever I google "transcription software" all I ever get is hits for those two... I know there must be other software out there. Please help! ...
I have been working as an MT out of the house for a while and am now coming back home to work. Since I now have to supply my own research resources, etc., can someone tell me what I need to help me with medical terms, spellcheck, ASR short-cuts, etc. Thanks! ...
Can anyone recommend a good tax program so I can do my own taxes as an IC? Need one that will figure profit/loss or schedule C I think it is and also home office deduction.

What is the best free downloadable transcription software? Or is it all bad? Dictaphone I think won't work, because I don't have a phone line. I need something I can put on a laptop and travel if I have to. ...

During my first visit with a new doctor yesterday, I wondered why I was not presented with the usual "book of history" to fill out beforehand. As the nurse was asking questions, she was busy clicking on pull-down menus, etc. On her computer screen was software called SOAPware, and there, formatted into SOAP format and all, I saw my replacement.
Later, in the exam room, the FNP was using the software as well as we went along, after exam, labs, etc. I made a comment ...
I'm currently working as a new IC for a co. that just asked me to invoice them using MP Count software. They had an .exe application for it on their ftp server, but of course when I transferred it to my computer and tried to load it, it didn't work. Now when I go to mp word's website, I see that they charge for the software, and there doesn't seem to be any software that ONLY functions as line counting software.
Any experience with the softwar ...
Is there such as thing as grammar/punctuation software? I just use the Word grammar checker but it seems I spend a lot of time fussing over punctuation. ...
Hi!
Could anyone tell me if they use (or have used) any software that helps with punctuation. I have to tell you that that's my weakest point. Any product names you can give me that you think are good, please let me know.
I'd need the software to use both with a Mac and PC.
Thank you.

Good morning everyone.
I am a recent MT graduate with a pending job offer. I'm very exciting to begin working in this amazing industry. At this time I am thinking about the whole starting up your own business thing and preparing myself for when I have to start submitting invoices etc.
I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good (and user friendly) accounting software for MTs, or if there even is such a thing. I was thinking of using something easy like Quick Books b ...
For four months now I have been researching software vendors to upgrade my very small transcription business. So far it has come down to Medikin and Infraware. Has anyone worked on both of these and did you prefer one over the other? ...
Hi. I've been using Express Scribe for years now and have never run into a situation where it couldn't play the files that I was working with. Recently I got a new job and now .ds2 files are going to be used more often and I just found out that Express Scribe doesn't play those. UGH! I don't have the kind of money to buy $100 software like Bytescribe. Does anyone know of any other wavplayer programs that are free or very low in price? Or maybe someon ...
I've worked for 3 different MTSOs. each bought out by another. I was never aware of the type of software programs used by these companies as the work platforms were "proprietary." I'm currently looking for part-time work and notice that most all job applications are asking for the name of or type of software programs used. How do I find out this information? As an example, Webmedx used Enterprise, but I have no idea what software program was used to create this platform. How do I ...
What is the best shortcut software? I am looking at Shorthand, Sylvan Shortcut and SpeedType, etc. Shorthand seems to take too long. I need some good recommendations, thanks!! ...
Hello all, Here's a question not sure how to ask - maybe someone can help. If I were to contact, as an IC looking for work, a doctor or clinic to provide services, would I just need to have a software package (for example DQS) and would it have a line counter attached to it? --or would I ask the doc what he/she uses for dictation and then buy/install that?Back in 1981 when I was self-employed and typed for 3 different docs in Oregon, I was still using typewriters and tapes ...
i should mention that i'm referring to macros you record and run that are based on Visual Basic rather than the use of word expander software. i would like to use the macros in addition to my word expander. thanks
anyone who has macros set up that are working correctly with softscript's software do share your fabulous wisdom of how you made that happen! if your macros aren't working let's add this to the softscript b****fest of things that don't make sen ...
Can anyone give me some advice on any software that is helpful to save keystrokes, and give you a boost in your production by using a program such as this? I see many advertised, many are expensive and wondered if anyone out there has one that they can recommend and possibly the price along with that. Thanks so much. ...
I have used Abacus SE for years, but it has started messing up and is not counting all reports. I was going to reinstall the software, but it is apparently no longer available. Is there a good, simple-to-use line counting software that will include headers (including headers on the second page - I've found Sylcount does not do that)? Thanks! ...
