Web-based transcription platform? - today26

Posted: Nov 23, 2010

What exactly is someone referring to when they say "web-based transcription platform"? Are they referring to the program that the company uses to receive/pull/send audio files?

Not really - Happy MT Robin

A web based platform is something like Bayscribe that is all done on the internet and doesn't really require installed software (the Bayscribe transcription tools notwithstanding.)

Compare that to something like Dictaphone which requires some pretty significant software to be loaded onto your computer and uses your local copy of Word to work. If you don't have a local copy of Word you can't use Dictaphone and if your copy of Word crashes for some reason then Dictaphone crashes (been there and done THAT!)

A web-based platform like Bayscribe operates solely out of the website and doesn't rely on software installation on the individuals computer.

Thank you. - today26

You type in your browser, instead of Word processors. Like you login to Yahoo/Hotmail and type emails. Fill the input boxes, do spell check, use your existing word expander, when done, save it.

The client login to same account and can print the reports. That's it.

I've used Shortcut for Windows for years always on a Word-based platform. Now I am using it in SpeechMotion which is not Word based. I need to know if there is anyway in Shortcut to set up a code to jump where I need to enter text. I have normal templates in Shortcut and have used an * to indicate a jump-to field. I had a macro in Word that let me jump to the *, but there is no way to set up a macro in SpeechMotion. Any help would be appreciated. ...

I live in the boonies and have a satellite connection, for this I am switching to the phone hotspot. However, I have even MORE reduced net speed now because HughesNet likes to dock speed for people who go over the limit for the month. My plan is 10 or 20 gigs...and on the hotspot, I just went through 2 gigs in maybe 20 minutes, something that really blew my mind. That would be like thousands of gigs a month and it seems really ridiculous that it is even possible. ...

Hi, I recently spoke to someone from Turn Around Time Transcription. I had found their ad on mtjobs.com. Does anyone have any knowledge of this company? They use the Medrite XL platform and the owner told me all the transcriptionists said it was an easy platform to work on, but then I looked it up and MTs were complaining about the line counts being so low. Any info on either the company or the platform? Thanks, Kathy ...

The pdf electronic version of BOS-2 was so handy and easy to use. Wonder what made them decide to do away with that & make it to where you have to open a browser, find the link, sign in, find the BOS page, etc., for the 3rd edition. It's so much more time-consuming, not to mention the search feature doesn't work nearly as well as the BOS-2 pdf version. For the first time ever, I can't wait for the 4th edition because surely nobody likes this & they will g ...

A former manager of mine from "brand X MTSO" (in reality, a very dear friend now) got thrown under the bus. She knows how "QBay" does. She is considering an MT or QA job for Focus Infomatics. Focus claims to not offshore, and has offered my friend 8 cpl. That sounds terribly lame wage wise for all that experience. When I couldn't drink the MQ Kool-Aid anymore, I was making a whopping 9 cpl. Of course, try doing the math on that formula come payday. Jus ...
