switching to the new program eBeyondTXT - Carol
Posted: Mar 19, 2013
With switching to the new program eBeyondTXT I am not noticing much difference from before with the old program. It takes just as long to download a job and half the time I am getting the spinning circle showing the slowness of the program. The things that did change is the account I was working on is now an all edit account. I also noticed that instead of 2 spaces between each sentence it is now only 1 space. I was also wondering why the use of the bookmarks at the beginning and end of the report. I am figuring we are not getting paid for headers that we have to fill in and with the end bookmark at the end of the last paragraph I suppose we don't get paid for signature line, etc. Guess I am slow, but I am starting to smell something fishy. I don't see how I am going to make any money at 4 cents a line and having to fix so much in each report. It's like VR is not even trying. I am starting to worry about getting fired if I can't up my line count too. Sorry, but I am just not as excited as they were saying we would be with the new program. Am I the only person noticing this stuff?
Giant step backward - MT
[ In Reply To ..]BeyondTxt was by no means a good program, but EBeyondTxt is an absolute nightmare. It's like moving from computer to typewriter with carbon paper. Making and ending lists is now a hassle when before it was extremely simple. Not being able to see at all times the demographic screen is a big drawback. However, the greatest weakness is the incredibly awful audio player. This antiquated platform and DaPlayer have been forced on us for one reason only--the big dogs hope to save money by using company's own speech engine instead of M-Modal's. Nuance, quit peeing on our legs and telling us it's raining.
platforms - waiting a switch also
[ In Reply To ..]Did this change just happen on Beyond Text? I am waiting for this to happen to my account and dreading it.
Thank you in advance.

[ In Reply To ..]Yes, as far as I know. Those of us who were on BeyondTxt are now having to use eBeyondTxt. I guess the "e" stands for excruciating.
Uh oh...I'm with Accentus, afraid they will do same to us - anon
[ In Reply To ..]At Accentus we used M*Modal, and we are now Nuance but they haven't taken us off yet. I am sure it will happen, but was hoping we would get a good platform. I have another friend who is pulling her hair out over this change, she says it is not functional at all. What else can they do to beat us down??
I would not dread it. It is not fun, there is a learning curve, but--sm - anon
[ In Reply To ..]you will recover and do okay. I am not feeling the love for the new platform, but it can be handled. It will not be the end of the world but will make the world a little more cumbersome. Many of the commands are the same so that will help in the transition.
I think the "e" stands for expedient. It was expedient for them to switch to a platform they did not have to pay more for.
Welcome to 1999 - CC
[ In Reply To ..]This system is about as functional as systems I worked on in the late 90s and early 2000s. No integration between audio and text except they download together. The audio player leaves EVERYTHING to be desired, the system has not learned the heading/subheadings for accounts, it hasn't learned other odd specifics for the accounts, and honestly the M-Modal draft was just as good. Just put us on Escription or any other platform and let us make some money. I'm probably going to be let go because I can't make lines and I need a second job.

[ In Reply To ..]Funniest subject line of the year...sorry the story is so sad, though, good luck!
stealing spaces - anon
[ In Reply To ..]After looking over the last 100 jobs or so that I have done, them making it one space after a period effectively nips 4 to 8 cents per report from our pay. In an average pay period this is about $20, and while small its really just adding insult to injury, but if you think about it on a grander scale, they claim to have 5000+ MLS. If they take $20 from 5000 MLS every two weeks that's over 2 million dollars a year. The rat hole gets deeper.
Thank you for doing the math! - Carol
[ In Reply To ..]All I am seeing is the greed this company has at this point. I'm just trying to get over the big paycut I just took and the lies about how it will get better. Unfortunately, my motivation has taken a big hit!
Thanks to everyone, was thinking it was just me. - Carol
[ In Reply To ..]I could not understand on the team phone calls why the other MTs were saying how wonderful this change was, so I just kept my mouth shut and figured it was just me. Again, thanks for making me feel not so alone in this! Now all I need to do is get this nauseous feeling to go away, ha ha!

Dictaphone Switching Between Headset And Handset Problem
May 29, 2015
When I am using my Dictaphone listening through the headset sometimes the audio switches away from the headset and sounds like it is coming through the handset. If the room is quiet I can still just so hear it. Then it switches back to the headset. It makes it really hard to work because often I have to back up to hear what I missed when it switched to the handset. I have tried two different Dictaphones with the same issue, although I used the same headset with each one. Maybe it's a pr ...
