I did that, wasn't printed. It seems like we are the only ones who care.

I have the above in printed info that the recruiter sent me before testing, which I did NOT take. nm

DRC did. Printed out a copy of the test and took it over the phone w/the
s
Mine wasn't worth the plastic it was printed on.
It says it's activated and there's a balance available but it's been declined every time I try to use it.
To my own knowledge, it is less, B&W character is just the actual printed out characters..sm
that appear on the page, NO SPACES, etc, so it could really add up, I have never taken a jot with those specs, perhaps someone out there doing this could say how they made out? But I have talked to recruiters about some of these jobs and it does seem to lower the line count.
This post will be printed and put on my bulletin board!! Brava!!....nm

It means characters that are printed in black and white - no spaces included. nm

A friend's printed offer said 6-8.5 cpl with CMTs making more. Don't know about shift diff. or

Keystrokes accounts all count the expanders as characters printed with spaces, not the abbreviation.
I have checked it, but we use Shorthand. What are you using?
The platform is Word. Their program works with Word but does not change how Word works. nm
The benefits just changed the first part of this month. I don't have them but I remember them being reasonabl for a single person. Family and spouse was not reasonable in any way (in my opinion).
small to medium company that works in Word or Word-based program - email me. nm
nm
ExText is integrated with Word. Auto correct is a part of Word.
ExText is a Word based platform. When the page opens for you to type the document it will be just like you are typing in MS Word.
anyone work for Oracle - do they use Word or a Word-based program - e-mail me nm

Just wanna work in Word - need company that works in WORD! nm

Their program works with Word and does not change how Word functions. sm
You use your own expander. Overall I feel it is user friendly and I like it.
Does the Emdat platform use Word or is it Word-based? nm

Word for Word Medical Transcription
Pros and cons please.
In his ad, he's asking for Word Perfect, not Word, if that matters. nm
s
The platform is not Word, but it is Word-based. I
had little Word experience and the recruiter told me to try to find a book to learn the basics of Word as their program is Word-based.
Now I wish they would just call me back......no word no word and
What is up with these MT companies that advertise. They don't even answer. I have a great resume, tons of experience. I'm confused.
word for word company
does anyone know about word for word transcription company? how are they to work for, platform? thanks in advance!
I was told I could use word pad since I don't have word
I have 1 computer to speak of that I did not buy personally. the company has their own platform and their own computer to be rented. I would not be typing in word. I have never had a problem testing this way before. I am not saying certified is better. I was explaining my circumstance. I have my own personal computer ordered for my use and I wanted to test fast without waiting. geez.
Net Dictation
Any information on this company I cant find anything
I had some really bad dictation like that
when I had my older computer, which didn't have a sound equalizer. Way too much time spent and way too many blanks. I downloaded a free trial of an equalizer and - voila! I could hear! I ended up paying about $18 after my free trial expired because it made such a difference. E-mail if you want info.
ESL dictation
NM -- It is called being a professional. I realize that a lot of the newer MTs have not had the benefit of working in-house and having more experienced coworkers help them through this, but it is a big part of the job. I also agree with Lillybelle that there is a limit of what an MT should have to put up with. In my opinion that is when it goes to QA and becomes their problem. If you want to just be a typists and make a mediocre salary then you can due just do the gravy work and not improve your skills. But if you want to learn the job, act like a professional, and be able to demand an excellent salary for the job you due, then you need to be well rounded as an MT.
ER dictation
I'd love to find a job doing ERs, anyone know of any place that has an abundance where you could do only ERs?
I haven't gotten particularly bad dictation and
really good dictation. I did switch from not using the quickbar to using it and I'm not sure if that's when I noticed the change or not - but it makes sense that if you are using the quickbar you are not typing out as much so you should be making MORE, not less. Maybe I will go back to not using the quickbar and see if I make more again, but I don't really think that's it. Something's funky is all I know. If I could make $30 an hour on a consistent basis I would be happy, but I just can't seem to do it ever anymore.
Very low pay, they want 120 minutes of dictation sm
per day. I did all ER work for overflow account, never anything else. Pay is once a month, I was IC status. Platform not very MT friendly, had to put in all headers, lots of extras.
A Station For Dictation
Does anyone have any information on company called A Station For Dictation in Pensacola, FL?
Dictation Solutions
Has anybody worked for this company out of Houston, Texas?
I Know Med dictation platform
Has anyone used this platform? If so, what did you think of it?
Dictation Solutions
I work there PT. Great MTSO to work for. Different accounts have different platforms and different pay scale. Always paid on time and pay depends on the account. I don't know anything about the pain management acct though.
Lanier at MDI is just for the dictation...sm
It connects to your telephone. If you only have 1 phone line, it will stay busy the entire time you are connected, you cannot use call waiting. You also pay the long distance. The Lanier gives you the voice to type and you type the reports on your computer in the Bayscribe program which means you have to connect to that website on the internet. Bayscribe does not fill in the Lanier screen info, job numbers, dates, etc. You have to do that manually. You do not have access to other reports, only ones you have done previously and you cannot access even that when you are in a report (unless you go out and come back and restore the report as if the power went off, which is way too much trouble).
One good thing is that if you have another phone line you could use dial up if you don't have DSL or cable.
Pay is by the minute of dictation.
There is a company on the Job Seekers board that states that the pay is by the minute of dictation. I have never heard of this, has anyone else?
Dictation in the wilderness
I might be a bit of a spoiled brat, but I am thinking by now I should have heard from Webmedx (tested on Monday 02/11) and Diskriter (tested on Tuesday 02/12). I think myself so grand at scoring well on these tests that I am flummoxed to not have heard. Anybody out there who'd care to share how long it took to hear back from either of these companies? Life is short, but those bleepin' voice files are long. Sigh. The Sorrow and the Self-Pity, ya know?
Minutes of Dictation sm
If you type over 140 minutes of dictation in an 8 hour period, how many lines do YOU get at your company?? TIA
ESL dictation originators
Had my share of ESL dictations at medical center with rotating residents / constantly new dialects to learn and also pushing for that darn line count...these difficult dictators should be Weighted somehow so that they count for more than straight english dictation. I have been taken advantage of for a long long time/got layoff notice now after 17 years...geese guess ill live on the street!.
if you transcribe around 1 hr of dictation per day are you pt or ft?
nm
dictation time
Last I did it this way, we calculated a 3:1 ratio, i.e., 3 hours to do 1 hour of dictation. Pretty rough, but it worked when I ran an MTSO. Didn't know folks still calculated this way.
Rosie
It's the "normal" dictation.
In my experience, template lines are the lines that you do not have to type. For instance, if you have a doctor that says to use his normal dictation, the template lines are that part of the dictation that is canned as opposed to the part that you type in.
dictation loads
It would be interesting to see from a larger MTSO who has some long-time clients how the dictation load is compared to a few years ago. It could be the economy, but only the MTSOs know for sure if there is less dictation. Otherwise, I'd say it's a combination of overstaffing, individual MTs taking more lines per person because of VR, India, EMR, etc., etc. Probably lots of factors.
I'm not putting off college for a career change any longer. My application for spring semester is already in.
"overtime" is not a generic word. "incentive" is a generic word. Over time means time

Cymed Dictation Dollars
Does anybody know what these are? Is this something new that we haven't been told about yet? It seems that since they are posting this as a benefit for new-hires that they should inform their current employees about it, or am I dreaming?
Who are they gonna give all the bad dictation to? (sm)
I really should start showing on my resume I've only worked for 3 years. Maybe I'd get the good accounts for once.
So what did I do before that? Oh, I guess I didn't need a job. Maybe they'd stop slinging me all the sh**.
RE: Medical Dictation Services
I would say it depends on the account. The problems the above poster has, I have not experienced at all, though I am only part-time. My platform is totally internet based- BayScribe which handles the voice and the transcription platform. So therefore, I never experience requested dictation completed.

MT per dictation minute rate?
I never heard that one. In MT work 1 dictated minute = 4-6 typing minutes. I'd quit.
DSG (Dictation Services Group-GA)
Does anyone have any info as to why this company seems to be hiring a lot lately? Are they having a bit exodus of transcriptionists? Any info would be appreciated. I would consider working for DSG, but some recent posts and DSG's recent numerous ads make me leery. Thanks.
Dictation Services Group
Anyone know anything about this company...I saw they use DocQScribe according to the Job Seekers Board and they're looking for QA for all shifts. TIA!
Yes, DSG (Dictation Service Group) uses DQS.
