Which companies use iType program for transcribing? nm
nm
Same program used now as 4 years ago. Very simple to use. nm

You made a good choice. The staff is great, program simple. Welcome! nm
x
That is who I meant, worked for them years ago. Like there platform, so simple.
nm
I worked for MQ for four years on another program..SM
then switched to DQS. My line count dropped by at least 40%. I have 30 years experience, transcribe between 250-300 lines per hours on other platforms. You will never convince me that MQ isn't cheating big time on line counts. My final straw came the day I did 26 fairly long operative reports - 700 LINES...., average 26 lines per report. No way was that possible unless they were cheating us on lines. I gave notice and have never looked back.
When I worked it was a DOS program they had developed (sm)
that actually worked with PRD - that was about 3-4 years ago and they were slowly transferring over to a Word-based type program... I believe InstanText should work with their stuff
What companies allow dial-up? or C-phones and dial-up?
 I do not have (and can't get) cable or high speed internet. Satellite is available but way too expensive to get if you are not working! I just wanna get a job....
iType
Futurenet technologies. You like this program?
iType
Does anyone else have trouble with iType? I have been working only a couple of months and it seems to me my hands hurt more with this platform than some of the others. My imagination?? I know I use my left thumb a LOT, with the alt key, and it's getting to be problematic. Any suggestions?? TIA
Who uses itype?
Tell me more about it please Wendy. I fear everyone is going to read your posts and think you are me or I am you. Yikes! Readers please remember there are many MTs with the wonderful name of Wendy.
Used to be iType. sm
I agree with the above post. Mostly letters which are very time consuming as it is the MT's responsibility to fill in addresses. Hopefully, this has changed. Not the worst place in the MT world to work.
iType platform...sm
does anyone currently use this and it just takes FOREVER for the voice files to download with iPlayer? I have always had this problem.
FN uses iType platform for Word...nm
x
I have been using iType platform for approx.
a year and have had no problems. Check with your tech to see if there is a problem.
Which is the most transcription friendly- iTYPE or ExText?
Thanks.
Any info on iType software with Med-tech Resources? nm
Tx
iType is word based, iText Expander SM...
is included in the program and it works great for me. They were able to import my old PRD files right into it. Cost zero. You do need your own spellchecker. Pretty good program, reasonably MT friendly.
Does the MQ DQS program contain the ShortCuts program, or do I need to buy it? nm
nm
DQS is not a "Medquist" program, it is a program used by MQ. (nm)

PT with dial up
I work for Transolutions, and the do use dial-up and I believe they do PT also. I am FT, so I am not sure about PT. Also, Spheris also uses dial-up and has PT and also supplies all the equipment you need.
Don't know about dial-up
They do pay for spaces, and pay a higher rate than anyone else I'v encountered. They employ all ICs only - but make sure to keep after them. I've accepted a position, have filled out my paperwork but now am getting nervous because I can't get anyone to call me back or respond to my e-mails.
I don't know about dial-up. (sm)
I kind of think you'd need DSL. If you can get it, it'd probably be worth it. You're working real-time online like with lots of other companies. It'll help your production.
Spaces - I think so, but I'm not sure.
IC only.
I believe they still are on dial up sm
Last I knew they paid for your second phone line.
Dial-up
DRC, Transolutions, and Spheris. I don't know if I would recommend working in Spheris' system with dialup though - that's the main reason I quit there. 
Dial-up
Medquist allows dial-up as I worked for them and used dialup before. I believe also Precyse Solutions also allows dial-up.
Dial-up
Yes, Precyse does allow dial-up.
Dial up
I do not have access to high speed internet. I am looking for part time work that can be done on dial up. I have 15 years experience and am home based for our local hospital. Does anyone have any suggestions on companies that still use dial up, and hire part time? Thanks in advance. 
Dial up
Might also want to try FutureNet or QT Medical as they offer dial-up options as well.
Dial up
A new job was just posted on the job seekers board under Cardiology-Kelly. Drop a resume with a note that you're strictly dial up. I posted this job, and we can use dial-up or high speed.
Dial-up?-sm
Does anyone still work using a dial-up connection? We are facing a move in a couple of weeks and it has come to my attention that I may not be able to get high-speed in our new home. My only options may be dial-up or satellite through Wild Blue. Are their companies out there that are still using dial-up? I really love the company I am working for as an employee right now but I would go back to IC if I had to. Thanks for your help!
dial-up
I have used dial-up and also used internet for MDI-Florida.
Very good company. Pay 10 cpl for Meditech experience.
If you are on dial-up with TT...
and willing to answer a couple of questions, could you e-mail me?? thanks!
dial up
I also would be interested in finding out any companies that allow dial-up. Thanks!
Dial-Up and VR
You really need something high speed to work with the VR.
KS and dial-up
If you have DSL or cable, you'll be okay at KS. If you only have access to dial-up, they have almost no accounts. I know most people have DSL/cable, but there are still a few of us that can't get it. I've been with KS for about 6 months and will now have to look for another job because of this.
dial-up only
I was just hired by KS in December and was told that dial-up would be okay.
I do not think dial up
or satellite can be used.

It isn't quite that simple...
Thank you for your input; however, it is a deeper issue than that. It is a major opportunity to teach the offending MTSO a lesson. Speaking for the collective MT group, we are human beings and we deserve the same respect as any other human being. It seems that MTs have, for too long, allowed themselves to be doormats. Obviously, there is an exception to every rule, but I am not referring here to those few exceptions.
It is that simple...
There is no deeper lesson to be taught. If you feel that you are being treated as a doormat and do not want to be, then do not accept the position and move on.

Simple
If you type 100 minutes of dictation for this company and their operative notes are 1-2 minutes maximum (I worked for a company that paid like this) and they add up to 30-40 lines per report, you would be typing anywhere from 3000-4000 lines for 100 minutes, which equals $100.00 for this amount of lines, which in turn equals about 3-4 cents a line. Believe me, they pack the dictation in this amount of time. The company in turn charges the hospital or clinic per line and they pay you the minimum.
It isn't that simple
It isn't just whining! These people are taking MONEY out of the other MTs' pockets! While an MT with integrity does all the jobs that are assigned to her and gets hung up on an extremely difficult dictator, while the other MTs are taking all the easy dictators and making money hand over fist. That is NOT fair to the MT with integrity who makes chump change because she refuses to stoop to that level.
It is not fair and it is up to management to put a stop to the practice.
Don't judge others until this has happened to you. It isn't fair and this is the only place MTs can come to vent their frustrations over it. If you don't want to read the posts, just skip them, but don't tell people they are acting like children fighting for candy. This is FAR, far more serious an issue!
Are there any companies out there that still use dial up?
I only have dial up and there are no plans to add DSL in the area that I live in for at least another year possibly two. Satellite is out of the question due to too many trees around. I live in the woods and believe me its hard to get a clear view on the satellite dish we have now.
If anyone knows of a company that still uses dial up please let me know.
Thanks
any companies that use dial-up?
Are there any companies that you can still use dial-up on? There is NO high-speed in my area. I also would like to find a foot pedal that I can rent, or buy realy cheap. PLEASE reply.
Did you find somewhere better with dial-up?
It's getting harder to find places who will work with dialup or else it's so slow you can't make it worthwhile.
I have dial up, you download? how
Where are you downloading from and to where, hardrive. I would like to do this also, as I don't have to can get DSL . Can reply here or email.
Is Transolutions on dial-up?
Just curious. Have to decide between them and Webmedx and not sure which one to choose - maybe it will help to know this.
Dial Up Companies?
Please give me some companies that I can do QA or edit for? thanks, I don't have broadband right now.
Dial-up ok but must be 32 or 34.0 kbps-nm

I have dial-up as well and is the only thing we can get currently....sm
I work for MQ and have done so for almost 7 years now w/o any of the problems that others so often complain about here. I think it depends on the office you get. A close friend also worked for them and the office she had was horrible. Anyway, they accept dial-up, I believe Medware does, but not positive, and Spheris too.
A suggestion would be to call the local phone company wherever it is you are moving to and ask them if they have plans to get DSL in that area. I called ours recently and was told they plan to extend out and have DSL available to at least 80% of their customers by the end of this year. So, you may not be w/o it for all that long. HTH. Good luck.
companies using dial up?
Even in this day and age of advanced technology I cannot get DSL, high speed internet, or satellite where I live. Do you know of any companies that still use dial up??? TIA
