Back on my soapbox; I DO NOT LIKE E-BTXT. - wannie

Posted: Apr 01, 2013

Okay, I yelled it. I should feel better. Hmmm, something must be wrong, 'cause I don't feel a bit better. Okay, off my soapbox.

Anyone who claims this platform is an improvement is either happy to have any job whatsoever or is a spokesperson for Nuance. Most of us recognize the truth. Nuance is a stinking, greedy, backwards company that is merely capitalizing on the "poor economy." This country is flushing itself down the toilet.

I want to know how long it takes it to learn the formatting-sm - anon

It has been almost 4 weeks and the physical on my account is coming in paragraph form. Sometimes the subheading is correct (not bolded) and sometimes it is incorrect.

Never would be my guess. If it really learned - wannie

I have been looking around for another job that uses a great platform like eScription. Having said that, Transcend threw us all under the bus when they agreed to merge with Nuance. We had a team call yesterday and I expressed my dissatisfaction loud and clear to the developer present on the phone call. What was his reaction? "Well, I just spoke to someone yesterday who said she had the biggest paycheck of her career"... Oh yeah? Was that person an MLS because I don't see how that could be possible and I said that. Why, you ask, did they decide to eliminate all the shortcuts that were present in the old BTXT... in fact, why did they drop the old BTXT all? BECAUSE - the less shortcuts you have the less you make, the less money they have to give out in incentives. That's the bottom line. Deceitful is the word that comes to mind. I'm tired of my TSM blowing happy smoke in my face with her 'you'll love it' and 'some MLS's are making more money now than ever'. I cannot believe that in the United States, a company can get away with this! Boggles my mind. During the call the developer said that they have a 'list' of suggestions for improvement and they are working hard behind the scenes to get these implemented, as many as possible. I heard this before with another company I worked for after a platform change and NOTHING ever got accomplished. You can make a penny a line, you're paycheck is only dependent on 1 thing - the platform you use. They know it, and now we know it - unfortunately.

Hello, I would like to transcribe from home again. However, I HAVE to get up and walk for a few minutes at least once an hour. You see, I had to have 2 back surgeries in the last 18 months. I've been a transcriptionist for many years and this is my profession. Does anyone have a suggestion what to tell these companies that will hire you to work from home when you have to get up so much? The last company I tried had a "pop-up" box that appeared on my screen if you were up longer than 10 min ...

Oh dear, here it goes again. ...NJA and a whole week to go on this pay period. Due to my sickness I had to take off my 3a-5a shift, but now cannot get work to make up. I long ago used up all my PTO.

I quit last July because they couldn't keep me "transcriptioning," sent my resignation to my supervisor, and then received a letter in October stating that I was terminated. Loved it! And I'm thinking of reapplying. Ought to be an interesting experience.. lol.. just love it! I don't have anything else to do, and what other company would let you not work for 3 months before they terminated you? Did I mention how much I love this ...

Thanks so much for any advice! I am newly divorced and working at a call center, and I have an MT certificate from Everett Community College, and even though I have lost 1/2 of my stuff thanks to my ex, I seem to have held on to my foot pedal, software, and that is about it. I would like to start over and try to find an MT job. I had an excellent GPA in school but have never worked. I graduated in 2007. Am I crazy to try? I figure it is now or never, anyway. If someone here is optimistic enough ...

I worked in medical transcription for about 3 years, but it has been about 3 years since I have done it. I really need to get back into it due to the fact my family needs the extra income. I cannot work outside the home because my daughter has special needs. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. ...

Since the announcement of MModal bankruptcy, I have had such mixed feelings. First of all, I have just begun my 17th year with this company. I have been through many TSMs or whatever they are now. I have only had 1 that was totally unreasonable which I guess is pretty fortunate. Like everyone else, I make about half the money I used to with this company. I am a tier 3 MT and have been since the beginning. I have 30 years of MT experience, have a degree in heal ...

I am still at M*Modal but have a different position which I thought was going to be a promotion, but I am not as enthused about it as I first was. Is it possible to go back to being an MT (since I am already an employee) even though there is a hiring freeze? How could I ask anonymously? ...

We're in the digital age now, with crisp, clear sound transmission available, not having to use scratchy cassett tapes, so why are we still getting reports so fuzzy, you can't even make out whats's being said? Every day. Every single day they come through. You can tell the dictator himself was clear when he spoke, yet it shounds like he's talking through a garden hose or under water when we get it. Then WE'RE criticized and marked off if the repor ...

I am getting my foot back in the water on a PT basis. Have tried about 4 other companies out there and didn't find a better fit yet. I know all companies have good and bad, but all the changes MQ made that enticed me to leave are now being instituted by other companies too. It is like MQ was the leader of the pack and they all thought --- Hummm, if they can, so can we. ...

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 ...
