Satellite, DSL, Dial up and Bayscribe - MovingMT
Posted: Apr 13, 2010Does anyone use something other than broadband with Bayscribe and how does it work for you?
I've used both DSL and dial-up - sm
[ In Reply To ..]
I used to use dial-up when I lived out in the boonies where nothing else was available, and it was very frustrating. Bayscribe would run very slow on dial-up and I'd actually have time to go and get a cup of coffee before the next job was finished downloading. Back then, I asked about whether I could use satellite instead, but was told that Bayscribe will not work with satellite.
Then after I moved, both cable and DSL were available in my new area, so I had a choice. So, I chose DSL and Bayscribe ran great (and much much faster!) with the DSL.
So basically, Bayscribe won't work with satellite, and avoid dial-up (if you can) because it runs slower than molasses in the winter.
Either DSL or cable would be your best choices and I think they're pretty much the same as far as how Bayscribe will work.
Hope this helps.

The tech person I have been working with there says that my computer is fine - it is just that dial-up is outdated - "no one expects anyone to have a dial-up connection any more".

Laid Off By Nuance Due To Satellite Only. May 09, 2012I have heard that their transcription and editing platforms -- Escription will work with satellite internet. I know I am not the only one who could no longer work at Nuance due to only having satellite internet. I was working for awhile at my daughter's home, but that did not work out too well due to house overrun by all the kids and their friends. If I could have had my own private office, I would have stayed there to work.
