Not on the internet; however, it is a web based browser and you must have a username and password to log into the server to have access to any files.
The server is not the internet. The internet IE browser is just a tool to use to access the server.
I hope this helps clarify things a little better.

Escription - are files stored on the internet in a database?
I got a note from a client who went with escription and this is what they told me about whether theirs or anyones records are being stored on the internet.
As for medical records in a database stored on the internet, ******* does not manage it's records in this fashion. In fact, I am unaware of any medical practice with electronic records that are stored on the internet.
Can anyone enlighten me on this?
won't it still be stored on the hard drive?
or do you not need to worry about that?
eScription is NOT stored on the internet..
It's accessed via a secure connection and is stored on a physical server in Boston - take a few IT classes and get some knowledge before you post inflammatory stuff like this.
Not here. Server may be down.

Sometimes it is the server
Other times it is your internet service provider. We have 4 computers on our network and no one is allowed to upload or download when I am working otherwise my speed goes to a crawl.
TT server
Yes, yes, a million times yes! My ISP checked my connections and DSL speed is great, all else fine. It's the TT servers; TT has sent multiple emails about server and connection problems. It has happened in 3 hospitals I've worked for and working from home, but happens many times more with ExText. I just save my reports often, recover them, or whatever it takes. It's annoying but nothing new.
Which server?

Just happened a little while ago. This has been a bad week for technical issues.
Server was down, but

Maybe due to server
I'm on #3 server. Maybe #1 server is slower/different.
Server down?
I think it is mditrans.com but the server appears to be down. The full company name is Medical Dictation Services, Inc if that helps. This is the MDI in Maryland.
Our server is not down
I work for MDI and our server is fine.
No problems with the server
I get steady work and my insurance (United Healthcare) is only $17/week for full coverage. Best rate I could find with any national. I have a flex schedule at Medware and work 32 hours a week. They are a great company to work for, very happy for the past year. Big change from my previous service. Plus my team leader is nice.
Especially all of the accounts on their own server...
Ichart to their private server, my line count dramatically decreased. I am sure they continue to charge the facilities for the Ichart line counts, but pay us for the line counts provided by their server, which are significantly less. That is when I knew I could no longer work for Outsourcing Scandals, Inc.
Transtech Server
What happened here? A short time ago there was nothing but glowing reports about this company, now almost daily server problems and no work???
Maybe it depends on the particular server - how many are using it?

Transtechers - is the server down AGAIN?
Tried to sign in to work and I can't get in. Haven't got an email.
I think to much on TransTech server now n/m
.
They also were not paying for using the "normals" available on their server, even though...sm
they certainly encouraged everyone to use them, their training staff stating "use those normals, girls, get those lines. We want you to make that money." Right...get those lines for OSI. I found their accessing their server very slow.
Server down more than it is up. You have to spend a ton of time with the
It sucks totally!
good luck - server is down more than up.
Insurance is very expensive, especially when you don't work because the of their server problems.....the unpaid work becomes more onerous over time and if you complain, they invite you to quit. And, of yeah, the Indians take most of the normals, sometimes all of it.
Any RAD MTs work on Client Server
TIA!
Depends on Extext server

Transtech Server Issues
I understand there are a lot of problems with Transtech's server. Going down almost on a daily basis?
Happened at my company a while ago; server down and they
I have a sneaky feeling happens more than they like to admit. I am truly sorry for TTers. This business is going down the commode.
I think it depends on the MTSO server.

Another good thing to ask is reliability of server. sm
Some companies have frequent down time. It is good to know if this happens and if so, will you be compensated for it or expected to make up time lost.
Sorry, can't seem to e-mail. states server not found...so here goes
Thank you so much for answering my questions. I, too, currently work for MQ, have been with them approximately 10 years. Kind of scared to make the change, but am tired of working for peanuts and heard MDI paid quite well compared to most. I do love my main account, but don't care for the cesspool I have now and then.
Do you still work for MQ and how many hours? I ask because I figure I will work for MQ until I feel comfortable leaving and working for MDI. Do you have to submit a schedule of what hours each day you will be working? I understand you have to have a minimum of 700 lines or 3500 a week, but just wondering how specific you had to be with exact hours you would be on.
You said Bayscribe seemed outdated. Is it difficult to learn and do most of the accounts have an automatic ADT feed or is there a lot to fill in? And you said you get paid for filling this info. in, too? That would be great. There is on account that I have with MQ that I have a lot to fill in and it so frustrating not getting paid for this.
Well, I guess that's about it. I will just wait to hear from the recruiter. Sorry so long and thanks for answering me.
I not able to send an email to you, info not available on server.

sounds like etrans- they also slow the server down
so that you dont type too fast. I had someone tell me that in the office before. I am normally not slow but could never get over my required rate no matter how hard I tried.
Yes, we have had server issues this week. Dictaphone engineers are working on it.
Have you never worked anywhere else where this has happened? This used to happen in-house where I worked too, at least once or twice a year. Machines do need upgrading and repair from time to time. And just for clarity...they did send out emails about the server issues and also about Jesse leaving. Get over it already. geez.
I use Meditech with them, but it is Client Server version. Not the old blue screen! sm
I actually like the program and I really like ShortHand but I converted my abbreviations from another program into there so I did not have to start over.
It doesn't matter where the server is, it is still a database and accessed via the internet
I have worked on Escription and also have IT experience.
Need help with DSS files ?
I am busily updating my resume while my new (NO) Rewards package from MQ sits next to the trash. Looking over ads in the job board, several I am interested said "need software for DSS files." I feel really stupid here and am not sure what is DSS files or the software needed. I am ashamed to ask. I am a good MT but after so long with MQ I have not had to look for a job in many, many years so feel out of the loop so to speak.
Please explain DSS files and what I would need to purchase. Thanks so much.
DSS files
DSS = Digital Speech Standard. Simply the format the voice file is in. Some recorders use memory sticks, memory cards, flash cards, etc. Just depends on what make of hand-held they are using as to what format the voice file is in. As BayGirl said, most software plays them without problem. I use WavPlayer and have not had one I could not play yet, or could not get a free plug-in download to play them.
files
i have about 50 or so left to do, plan on finishing up in the day or two. Did you finish yours?
DCT files
Write to them and tell them that, because I was able to open it, but it had just static no words at all. I wrote to them and they are going to send me the file in a different way or format. So you should write to them as well.
.DCT files
Thanks! Yes, I did e-mail them and technical is suppose to send them a different file. My wave player will not open up .DCT files and the Real Player or Windows Media Player will not play those types of files on my computer. I have tried every way to play it, but no luck. I guess I will just have to be patient.
files
Hi,
Do you have a MQ computer or your own with the DocQScribe expander?
No files
Just to clear this up - no patient files were sent thru the IM, only the setup files, the account instructions, etc. I do think this would be a great company to work for, I just felt like the trainer and I were on different levels and had a little bit of conflict, partly because I don't think I was as computer savvy as she wanted me to be.
Wav files
Has anyone every received a wav file, but was unable to get it to play? I have a wav player, but when I was sent two files to test with I was unable to get the files to play. Any suggestions?
files.......
Make sure the file type (.dss, .wma) is checked on whatever player you use. Sometimes I have gotten these too and for some reason when I went back in my player, the box was unchecked for that file type.
About WAV files.
Same here. I just recently put in application with DTS Medical Transcription. We they had Zip files. Not sure if these are wav files or not. But turned out my computer warned me not to upload them into my system. They were corrupted. Anyway, this is not the first time I have not been able to test for a company because they use wav files. I don't know either what the answer is. I just don't test when companies use these files for testing. Maybe someone else here knows how to handle this.
how many files?
Just curious: How many files do you have to transcribe? And how many minutes of dictation did the entire test end up to be?
What did they want you to do with the files?
Are you testing or is it actual work? Please elaborate!!!
Thanks!
Where did you get the files?
I sent my resume this morning. I guess they get in touch with you via *rude* (lol) e-mail? I made sure to follow the directions!
compressed files
They are much smaller than regular voice files. DocShuttle's wav player will play them.
do they have a particular platform or FTP files?
thanks
Six different files is a lot... see message
In my personal opinion, if your resume is packed with experience, six files is a bit much. I think a test should take approximately an hour at the most, not four hours! I think that is totally unfair. I also received an e-mail that was so condescending from a job offer on this board stating I guess there are MTs out there that don't know an easy dictator when they hear one, or something of that nature, along with like eight files to transcribe for testing and a format doc, etc. stating this is the easy doc. Give me a break! Are these people trying to make you do their work for a day? That's awful. JMO! My current IC position tested me on like three files, and it was the actual dictators that I would be transcribing, one easy, too a little more difficult, but that was it! 
I think you can reject files or just log out and in of any
s
They have accounts who use wav files, so sm
if you are interested, do not let that scare you away. The pay is way above average, direct deposit, on time, and as a statutory employee, they at least take out your Social Security tax and match it, so you do not have to pay self-employment tax. You have a 24-hour window to do your line commitment as well, which makes it nice.
I have never worked for MDI-FL, so I cannot comment on them from experience, but if you can go from what I have read on the boards, MDI-MD is far superior and cares more about their employees.
Good luck.
