any difference in EditScript MT 9 and EditScript MT 9.12? - Jenny

Posted: Dec 29, 2011

Does anyone know if there is any difference in EditScript MT 9 and EditScript MT 9.12? If there is, how can we update this? It seems that my new place of employments line counting is not the same as my old place of employment. New employer has EditScript 9, while my old work had EditScript 9.12, and my line count was much more at my previous employer. Now it seems I can put out tons of work and see not much for lines... Very frustrating. When questioning my employer now, they say that EditScript counts it and there is no way to change that. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Have you done a c&p of the body of report into a Word - document? That is first place SM

to start to find out if you are getting cheated. And check your contract to see what you get paid for. Take the time to do the simple math and then you will have what you need to question the MTSO further. If they are on the up and up, it should be no big deal for someone in payroll to go over this with you.

The job you c&p, ask payroll what that job's count was. - Then compare it to what you SM

come up with. Of course, if you have the means available to you to see for yourself the payroll document on each job, as in Docuscribe, that will tell you a lot about the honesty of the company.

And if MTSO says it cant be changed (dont believe it) - suggest using an independant SM

line count program, of their choice if they want. At the very least, if you find you are not getting paid for something that the contract says you should get paid for, MTSO at the very least, needs to provide new contract for all, or go talk to a labor atty. It is illegal to have contract say you get paid one way but, in truth, you get paid by a very different calculation.

And very nicely ask if payroll can go over a job that has - had the lines calculated already. SM

That way you can see for yourself how your paycheck is figured. And if they refuse to do that, they are up to no good and why should you let yourself be cheated in that fashion.

Hi All.... I was just hired by an MT company that uses EditScript. This is a brand new experience for me as my previous MT job did not use this platform. I've been studying the user manual and specs, but am nervous about starting tonight. I'll be starting out with 10 reports. I know it will be "SLOW GOING" especially tonight. I want to do a good job, but worry about being too slow at first. Any words of advice or encouragement out there??? I could use some ...

I am going to be going to ES VR. I have been working on Dictaphone Extext straight typing and a little VR. I did not find VR in Dictaphone to be good. I have done ES before, and I believe it is better. Considering the chump change we make to do VR, do you think you are paid enough to proof your work after you have edited the report, or do you do a once over and go on to the next one? I mean, really, with what we make, we really have to do a once over to make anythi ...

After 40 years on the job and getting tired of typing, when out of a job this last time (there have been so many times of late because of ...well most of you already know how goes it with our profession), I decided to just go for what seems to be taking over transcription anyway. Thanks to this board and all the talk about the different platforms, I took a job with a company that uses EditScript, and I am thrilled. In those 40 years, I have had to do a lot of proofreading as a super ...

So you get a report where the text has been typed by a computer. Then you must edit it. My sources (a large regional hospital MT Dept) tells me that the computer generated text is only 50% accurate, a far cry from what the vendors will tell the dupes at the hospitals who are buying into this junk. ...

I have read to many articles on MT stars to get my smartype to work with Editscript. Last night it worked briefly but I would have the hit the spacebar and the type the first letter and then choose the expansion. Then it did not work again. There has to be a way for smartype to work with Editscript. There is enought computer "wizards" that this probably could be resolved. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What are your average lines per hour for editing? Acute care. We are transitioning over and most dictations have not gone into editing yet. We are curious as to what your productivity is.

The hospital I work for changed over the Editscript last year. Changeover went relatively smoothly, and we still had plenty of work to keep all the transcriptionists busy (after we stopped outsourcing the overflow we used to have). Recently, the hospital switched to Epic electronic medical record system, and within a week the transcription workload plumeted to probably 40% of our former workload --not enough to keep our transcription staff busy. It seems the doctors/nurses/etc ...
