Don't know mgmt, but in Feb. you needed Word 2003 and Office 2003 to work. nm

Last year you needed Word 2003 to work for them. Prior to that, you used their machine

Pay is always on time, direct deposit, very nice management to work with, and DQS platform, work
load normally busy, but low now because of the summer slow down on my accounts. Sound an issue on some accounts, but not others. Overall, wonderful company.
I have been with them since 2003 and...
No complaints. For the most part good dictators. Few ESL's. Dependable payment. Good QA team, very helpful. Good company to work for.
Since 2003. nm

I have been there since 2003 and only ran out once right after sm
I was hired. There is plenty of work if you are willing to do more than one account.
Worked there since 2003
No bad news here. Completely satisfied.
Employed since 2003
I like working with them. We have just recently merged with MD-IT so I don't know a whole lot about the new company but MTSource was great. Whether MD-IT will influence and make changes is something that I don't know. So far - so good. You can use Instant Text but only the latest version.
MS Word 2003
Does anyone know where I can purchase MS Word 2003? My new computer runs Microsoft Suite 2006. Word 2007 is the latest thing, and my new employer's system can't run 2007.
They will not hire if you have 2003 or above
They are definitely old fashion and not up-to-date with the new technology. Definitely not the company for me. I did not take the job because I would not go backwards!!!
I had to get word 2003
for their program, and it was like $350! My computer only has 2000.
Word 2003
I know it kinda sucks about having to upgrade for just one job, but it was actually money well-spent for any future jobs you take. It always looks good on a resume to have updated versions of whatever program is available. Hopefully if things don't work out where you are, you'll be able to get a new job somewhere that appreciates hard work!! =)
back in 2003
they actually tried this & outsourced & the doctors had a fit & went to the CEO bout incorrect reports & the contract got cancelled & we were working back for the hospital within a matter of less than 3 months. I don't see knowing what a disaster it was then why in the world they wanna do it again!
Word 2003
Any idea why so many MTSOs are now requiring Word 2003? Reviews state it's not much of an improvement over 2002 and that it has some features that actually slow you down.
I worked for D&L for 3 years until 2003
what would you like to know? Things apparently have changed there I was told though but I may be able to answer some questions about it.
Interview from 2003 w/the Shapins
Wow...drastic changes, yes?
http://viewnews.com/2003/VIEW-Jul-09-Wed-2003/East/21653415.html
The couple also worries about transcription services who turn to off-shore employees to complete the work.
How do you know they're compliant (with United States medical record privacy laws)? Juliann Shapin asked. I get e-mails from these people in India every day. 'Us, let transcription for you do, cheap.' It's not worth it. Sure, it's cheaper, but you get what you pay for.
since 2003, I do believe they pay higher than most nationals sm
and quite a bit higher per line for speech recognition. you could mention you don't want a cut. I think they are looking right now for Tues-Sat or Sunday through Thursday schedules.
You say word 2003 upgrade. Is this
I didn't have to upgrade because I had it already but if its the same company I think the QA person can use a class in learning how to deal with people without rudeness.
Yes, worked for them back around 2003 (sm)
Stayed about 3 years. When I started, they were still Edix, and they were fabulous! Good line rates, great QA team, and some of the nicest trainers I've ever worked with.
Then they gobbled up a few smaller companies, became Spheris, and took away our quality bonuses, moving to a strict production-based incentive program. It was still okay for me, because I really liked my accounts and had a great supervisor.
Then they chased off some of the best supervisors, and then I moved on.
I tell friends who ask now that it's a great place to build experience if you are just starting out, but that I would never advise anyone to stick with them long-term. There are better firms out there. Not bad, but not great, in other words.
Yes it does. MQ bought Lanier in October 2003.

AlphaMed is new, so pay isn't that high yet and you need Word 2003 there. nm

MSWord 2003 XP sm click link
Ya know what, if you don't have Word and not experienced using it it is best you wait.
The companies usually use parts of Word and mesh it with their own platform and some are a pain to learn., so if trying to learn 2 things, plus all the other stuff, the client, QA and employer preferences to set up report it is just sooo hard for you.
Even instant perfect is not enough. One has to learn each dictator style, and the employers have no monitoring how the dictators DICTATE one little bit, they just don't care, they expect perfection with junk and the dictators certainly do not care, because they can nobody is telling them to clean up their act. Don't mean to discourage, but saying it like it is out there. PLUS, the rates are so low, you can make more at Jack-in-the-Box. Not exaggerating either..
Said to have payment issues in the past. Needed Office 2003

I believe it depends on what platform u work on. I work on
Extext and I love it!!!!! I have not transcribed even part time in years. First night in less than 2 hours hit 300+ lines. Second night a little over 2 hours hit 350+ lines. This is all learning a new system so I find it interesting and fun.
A net search brings up a defunct website with a 2003 date on it. Maybe not out there anymore? nm

A year ago, I was offered 8 cpl for experience and I needed my own Word 2003. I turned them down. nm

They've used ExText in the past. Ad from 2006 said you need Word 2003. Offered 8 cpl for

How is this platform to work on?
Is it productive for MTs? Can ShortHand work with it. Thanks for any info
New platform and new work
The new software is just awesome and I hear we have a large hospital starting next week. Give them a call if you are looking for work. I can not help you with the other two you mentioned but can wish you good luck with your search. L.
What platform do you work on?
I really love ExText and I know they do have accounts on that platform. I did apply and got to the interview stage but then decided to back out because of the bad remarks on this site. I certainly hope I won't be sorry. How is their cpl rate compared to others? Thanks.
Not very organized. Had more than 1 platform to work on
I had 3 accounts and had to learn new platform for each. I didn't stay with them very long. Found a better place.
How is Vianeta platform like to work on?
zz
Which platform do you work on at Medware?
nm
Super platform to work in.
Emdat is by far one of the most user friendly and productive platforms I have used. MTs working with me have commented on the ease of learning and a great manual coupled with a wonderful tutorial to get you started. Additionally, it has many features that include automatic log which shows you where you are at any point in the day .. email me if you have any specific questions.
How fast is the platform you work on?
Because the platform I am on is slower than the snail in my backyard.
Does anyone work for ProScript? I'd like to know about the platform, please sm
What Expanders does it support? It is difficult to maneuver in and get lines? I have an offer...
Work for them, they use Shorthand and platform sm
is Acuity at least on my particular account.
What companies have a decent platform to work on, .
have employee status, lots of work, and minimal confusion and disorganization? Can do the big 4 for acute care.
I'd like to know the bad platform and which accounts run out of work. I'm supposed to have bac
accounts to work on...Please email me.. I cant afford to work on the Mojave Desert LOL
Ortho MTs? Can I ask which platform you work on and is it productive??
Thanks..
I work on the Scribe platform but there are many other platforms..
just depends on what account you get hired in for. On this particular account, you can look up old reports. We do have part-time employees but I believe they are slowly going away from part-time into full-time.
our own Claudia Tessier in 2003...she is executive director of Mobile Health Care Alliance. check t

this is, in fact, doing away with medical transcription as we know it. rather than free text, there will be standardized text at point-of-service. even coders and billers will be replaced by the computers.
this is at the MOHCA site as well.
Doesnt matter how good the platform is without work does it.
:
Staff is great-no work and too many platform issues.

Medware, good platform, plenty of work
I have worked for them almost 3 years now, they are a better than average company and pay on time every other Friday. Check them out, you will be happy you did. Kim.
Yet, second company thinks it should work and not mess up other platform (sm)
I will feel better when the actual technician sees about loading it. Not that the recruiters don't know their job, just nervous.
I had others report they are using 1 computer for 2 different companies and maybe having to use a second pedal. Let's hope we are lucky.
Platform is easy to use, and the people are great to work with. sm
I only work there part-time, but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Good luck on whatever you decide. 
Same experience...awesome to work for, horrible platform..sm
I've been an MT for close to 20 years and am most productive on ER accounts where I can create my own templates and Expanders out the ying yang. After 2 months and the worst line counts of my entire career, I had to move on. I do want to point out that PM does have some of the nicest, most helpful staff I've ever worked for! The platform is the ONLY reason I left.
Does JLG have nice accounts to work on and is their platform user friendly.
:
TT has plenty of work. The platform is super easy to learn and
I'm not having any trouble at all making good line counts doing ESL discharge summaries. Super nice people as well.
great friendly people, IC work, pay so-so (9-1/2 cpl), clumsy platform. nm
