Question on Escription - HyperTyper
Posted: Aug 24, 2010
Hi, I am curious to find out everyone's opinion on the Escription platform as far as production, ease of use, etc. I have been offered a position and would be using Escription on a mostly speech rec account at .05 cpl, along with incentives. Is that a good rate for Escription? I have heard it's the best platform and would like to know what people typically average on their lines per hour, along with how long the learning curve typically is. Thanks for any info you can give me!
It is the best and that is higher than average line rate - sm
[ In Reply To ..]You need to ask how long the account has been on the platform and what the rate of regonition is. The longer it has been on the program, and the higher the rate of recognition (75%+) the better the drafts will be. Also ask how many MTs are on that account. The smaller pool of MTs means that you will more likely have consistent edits and better drafts. The hospital I do escription for has maybe 20 MTs and I average 400 lph with a good hour being around 600 lph. Unfortunately it all depends on the quality of drafts (not necessarily the dictators, it does well even with bad dictators if the MTs are good) on how much editing is needed and therefore how fast you can go.
Good luck! I would take it, 5 cpl is more than most places are offering these days.
Depending which version you use (I think 9 is the newest?) they are very user friendly and don't take very long to learn. Get lots of reference materials and ask lots of questions. Use your shortcuts and try to go mouse-free, I think it really helps your speed.

[ In Reply To ..]I was told you'll produce 20% more lines with Escription than other platforms such as Dictaphone. I think 5 CPL is pretty good. When I worked on Escription, I got less than that. As far as LPH, just depends on the account.

TTS Escription
Jan 25, 2015
For a company with technology in its name, I find this platform sorely lacking. Constantly having to correct capitals I don't want when I take out a period, it not putting a macro over what I want to change and all this backing up and retyping to change stuff or get a macro to work where I want it is driving me crazy (I know, short trip) and wasting a lot of time. Don't they have any engineers or programmers who can get around this? Guess I just got spoiled at Precyse; mac ...

Anyone on this platform, please tell me it gets better. I spent 2-1/2 hours and got absolutely nothing done. Demographics locked up completely and I had to X out, sending the work back to pool. Tried to upload, but kept telling me to confirm demographics which I did, then demographics header grayed out completely, then tried to upload, and again message to confirm demographics, which had been confirmed and were now locked up and grayed out. The entire platform seems just plain overwhelming wit ...

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 ...
Turning Off EScription's Red Box
Nov 05, 2009
Is there a way to turn this box off? Our system is not well trained yet so there is a lot of editing required. The alt-K combination is awkward for me when having to stop every few words to correct something. I edit by forwarding my cursor through the document (like the red box does) but then there is no extra work in bringing the cursor forward to where the edit needs to made as it is already there. Thanks for the input! ...
I'm Back With More ?? For Escription

I have now been doing EditScript for a month now and my lines are still horrific. I've read the manual over and over and still have the below questions. I'm only doing 1/4 of what I used to do and it hurts. 1. I have to minimize and maximize my screen to see more than 10-14 lines. Anyone else have this problem? I think it has something to do with the header because if I change something in the header, I have to minimize and maximize again. 2. I follow the red bo ...

I need to know if eScription has the capability to "monitor" your work habits. Meaning, does it log you off after a certain amount of time of not working? Does this sound like it is eScription or something else? Production time is tracked off the technology system and monitors the time you are actually in the document working (hands on the keyboard or foot on the pedal). If you are idle in excess of 4 minutes the time stops tracking. You must remain acti ...
