Express Scribe vs. Mentalyc

It has a free trial, which is very nice if someone just needs temporary access to use, and it's not an expensive program overall. It may not be the most robust program available, but it gets the job done at a good price point. It might not be the best if you need something that allows transcriptionists to collaborate (i.e., working on the same file at the same time).

Newer clinicians are not taught how to write notes in school. This helps them discover ways to write notes and to model what they write in a concise and professional manner.

• Cost efficient - This is a fairly low-cost transcription software that can be downloaded quickly via web
• Easy to use - New users can get the hang of this software pretty quickly
• Customizable - Foot pedal controls and other preferences can be set based on what feels intuitive to the user

• Interface - The look and feel of the software is quite dated and could use a refresh
• Enhancing audio - When we need to manipulate an audio file to try to enhance it (amplifying, for example), we have to use another program to do so
• Hotkeys - Setting up hotkeys may not be as intuitive for new users as would be ideal

It's incredibly easy to use. Any time I've needed to contact support (only twice, I believe, in the last 2 years), I've received quick communication that effectively addressed the problem at hand.

• Very few 'inaudibles' (spots where we're unable to decipher what was said)
• Transcribing allows analysts to read scripts rather than listen to audio files, which saves time and money
• Low cost of software

• My clinician profile rating grew to a 5.0 (out of 5!) after implementing Mentalyc. I attribute this to being able to prioritize attentiveness during sessions and having more time for quick communication and responses to client inquiries due to less time spent on documentation every day.
• My stress level has decreased tremendously.
