The thumbs up given above notwithstanding, I've had a bad experience with ExText through 4 years and 2 jobs back to back of working with it.
1st Job: Techs were terrific and consistently did their best to resolve constant problems.
Dictaphone: Their techs were poor to OK in helping out/addressing problems.
2nd Job: Techs don't know, don't care, and won't ask Dictaphone for help with my ExtText problems.
Don't know why I'm targeted for the sucky luck, but I wish you well.
I work at a hospital where we use the Dictaphone Extext system. I want to work from home and need to copy my ESP from work onto a disc. Can somebody please tell me how to do that? I also need for know how I would copy the ESP onto my computer? Do I need to purchase Dictaphone Extext?
Thank's so much for any info you can give me.

Forgive me if someone else has already asked this but I'm trying to find a company which is hiring and uses the Dictaphone platform. I have been using it for at least 5 years and would rather not have to switch and train on another platform at this time. Thanks for any leads. ...
I have been offered a part-time position with a company that uses Dictaphone ExText.

I will also need high-speed internet with the part-time position. I will be working through a VPN. Do I need to be hardwired to my router or can I work using my wireless router? Company gave me a list of specs necessar ...
transcription will you e-mail me please. I am in the process of interviewing with a small company that uses this platform and I have questions about my computer being compatible, and it is sort of the blind leading then blind when I ask questions. I would just like to ask a couple of questions without going back on forth on the boards. I can't accept the position until I can be sure my setup will work. ...
Hi All
I am currently working on Dictaphone Extext but will be switching to Nuance Escription doing VR on both. Does anyone have experience on both and willing to compare them. I'm just wondering if my line count is going to go up or down.
Thanks! ...
I've started with a company that uses ExText. I use a VPN to access the hospital's computer system. When I'm connected to their system, it's as though I'm sitting at the hospital in an office while transcribing. Their ExText comes with its own built-in expander system. I have used PC Shorthand with every platform I've used up to now. Is anyone on this board in a similar situation? Is there a way around the ExText expander so I can ...
I'm needing to find out if anyone else out there has had trouble/issues with their foot pedal fast fwding the audios sporadically when dealing w/ the Dictaphone/EXText software.

Thanks in advance for your response! ...
Is Windows 7 Home Premium/Word 2010 compatible with this platform? They say that Windows 7 Professional/Word 2000, 2003, and 2007 are compatible. Thanks for your expert assistance! :) ...
It's a pedal with just a telephone jack type clip on the main wire, then there's a small converter piece/cord with a USB plug on the other end to go into the computer. I tried it on my computer and it doesnt seem to work.
Will this work with other programs or is it proprietary to Dictaphone? ...
I have been switched to an account using ChartScript since I use a Nuance owned computer which they were not willing to upgrade when my original account went to eScrption and I couldn't afford my own computer. There are so many more steps to using ChartScript, I'm afraid I won't make any lines! ...

I've recently started using ExText, and I like it, except for one thing - I find that it is very tedious to rewind or FF to a particular spot in the dictation. Is there any way to go right to the spot? I've worked on platforms where you grabbed an arrow and dragged it to the spot you wanted in the recording (by that I mean, a given minute and second), but I can't find a way to do that with ExText. It seems speeding up the rewind/FF is the only way. Is ...
I've worked on, and most days it doesn't seem horrible, but I keep making the same corrections over and over and over again for the same dictators and it never learns. Also it will leave out an entire sentence or several words in a sentence, even on dream dictators. It also can't seem to get the date format correct, often types 08 as 20, or types 2011 as 2000, expands abbreviations when we aren't allowed to expand them, doesn't number multiple diagnoses/medic ...

Can anyone tell me where to find a copy of the shortcut keys for ExText. I had no training on it outside of the basics and was never given any shortcuts keys/commands and I am sure there are a lot of things I could be doing better. Any help is definitely appreciated. ...
Wonder if anyone has an answer to this for me...and, thanking you in advance! I have used ExText for years. Everything has always been fine and I love ExText...until Escription hit the deck. Now when I'm in a report and highlight what I want to add to my ExText, then do alt= to add it, the window comes up blank and I have to enter the word/phrase all over again. What the heck happened??? Really slows me down because I usually enter long phrases/normals, etc. Ho ...
Let's not start a bashing party, but has anyone else had luck getting their ExText, etc... software upgraded on a new Windows 7 system at Landmark in PA? It seems like K has simply fallen off the planet. No emails at all from Landmark regarding the whole XP and Word 2003 HIPAA non-compliance business, or options for moving forward. Is it just me, or is this really just not a big deal? While I'm pretty sure no one would outright choose to hack a middle-aged house ...
