Extext 2003 - adjusting the speed of dictation

On every single report, the speed starts out so fast that it is hard to keep up with even the dictators I am familiar with. I have to adjust it on every report. Can some one please tell me a way to fix it permanently? Thanks. ...

they'd all sound like Alvin and the Chipmunks. Anybody else seeing this? ...

I have read a few posts on here by transcriptionists who worked for a hospital that got outsourced. I am one of them. I still keep in touch with a couple of the women from my dept and only 4 of us went with the company we got outsourced to. Some of the ladies were older and just took the severence pay; a couple took severence and decided to apply for unemployment when it runs out. but I had to keep working and could not afford to turn down a job. So here I am, I have gone from making wha ...

I work on Saturday second shift on the west coast, so their Sunday EST maintenance period falls at 9 pm on Saturday night here. I've got other things to do on Saturday day than start work several hours early every single every other weekend. I've got a social life too. ...

I've been transcribing for 23 years. I recently got switched to pretty much all ASR and I really like it. However, the pay is only 4 cents per line plus my shift differential, so that's 4.75 cents per line. I started ASR three days ago. I find it totally non-stressful, pleasant, and interesting. But I am averaging about $7.50 an hour! I don't necessarily need to get tons of money, but this isn't even minimum wage in California (which is $8.00 per hour). How can I get speed? I ...

Does anyone know what a safe speed is for QA? Some MT's I know can edit at 180 to 190 on the speed bar on Nuance Escription. Managers say these are their "top performers," but I would like to be a fly on the wall to see how their reports are finished on QA. ...

So tell me, how do I pick up speed? I average about 184 lines an hour. The stats they send out say most of you are doing 220 lines an hour. What can I do to pick up speed? My accounts do not allow templates of more than 75 words. The 7.1 is better with regard to looking up reports, but I still don't know if I am supposed to hit enter after one section before moving on to the next one (history and physical...enter???, then past medical history, for example).&nbs ...

I am thinking about taking a job with Transcend using the EXText platform. Can anyone tell me for sure if I can use my autocorrect with this program? tyvm ...

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 ...

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 ...

Does anyone know if you can use Breevy text expander with ExText? Thanks! ...

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 ...

Looking to work for a company that uses EXText. Thanks for feedback! ...

Just wondering how many lines and hour an MT who uses no expanders or macros whatsoever can type. Anyone know? The fact that there are so many variables kind of sucks because an MT can't really argue if their company gives them a hard time about their speed since there may be no one else to compare with (in an fair way). ...

I am just curious as to what speed setting to most of you keep it on when doing ASR? I try to keep mine between 8 and 9 unless it's an extremely slow dictator. I would like to increase my line count, but I'm afraid if I speed it up too much I might miss something. ...
