EditScript versus AT&T U-Verse - Kim


Posted: Aug 03, 2011

AT&T in my area is dropping DSL service and will only support their fiber optic U-Verse system and my conversion date is coming in a few days.  Can anyone tell me if EditScript will work okay with this U-Verse fiber optic type of internet, or will it make any difference at all?  Per AT&T, everything will be better, but I didn't get the impression the person I spoke to about this really understood what I do when I tried to explain medical transcription and editing using this program.  Also, I asked my new team leader who only said to look at the systems requirement page and that doesn't say anything about fiber optic internet, just says DSL or broadband.  Your thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance.

You should be fine. They aren't going to upgrade to a slower system, and yes your fiberoptics should be much faster and less interruptions. At least when I had Verizon Fios it was lightening quick. Besides, when you use EditScript, it downloads the voice file to your computer and, when you're actually working on your job, you're not actually doing that online. That's local to your computer. Then when you hit upload, that's when it accesses the internet again. At least that's my understanding of the way it works.

Good luck!

EditScript And Shortcuts Versus The Old Way
Mar 21, 2012

I've been using Edit script for a couple months now (like it)  and everytime I start using alt K and the other shortcuts I end up reverting back to my old ways (mouse), because it just seems faster for me.  I use the arrow keys, but still use the mouse because it seems like it requires less thought.  Is anyone else struggling with this?   ...

She is only basing this on what an old medical transcription company she used to work for had her typing. I would rather base it on the  medical reference. The doctors are not even aware this has come up. She is ...


Any Difference In EditScript MT 9 And EditScript MT 9.12?
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 t ...

Hi All.... I was just hired by an MT company that uses EditScript.

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 ...


Going To Editscript VR
Feb 12, 2010

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 ...
