"I had no experience as a
medical transcriptionist when I began using
PlayBax about 4 years ago, but was able to start
using the product almost immediately. I have tried competing
transcription software since then, but
returned to PlayBax because
it was much simpler. Plus, I have gotten
friendly telephone support
when I switched computers and needed to reinstall. The
fact that I can
speak with someone with a Midwestern accent that I
can understand helps too.
During this 4-year period, my daughter, also a transcriptionist,
purchased
several expensive pieces of software and footpedals. Eventually
she decided to use PlayBax, because it is so
simple and quick. Unlike
me, she
spent a lot more money in the process."

“We used PlayBax to help our office
transition from recording with tape
cassettes to dictating digitally with an
Olympus recorder, and sending
files over the internet to home transcriptionists. PlayBax has been easy
to install and use,
with virtually no downtime or interruption of service. A
simple,
reliable solution, we recommend it highly.”
