You've got a computer and if you need a C-phone you don't need
DSL or cable because you obviously are having to call into the system. Most people would have DSL or cable whether they were an MT or not, so that expense really couldn't be attributable to the job.
They may provide a C-phone but no computer.
No, not 2 different companies. You can use your own computer to sm
work on the TransHealth platform or they will give you one to work on the Webmedx platform. Hope this answers your questions.
Which companies provide the computer?
Do any companies still provide all the computer hardware and software programs?
companies that supply computer
Are there any good companies that allow part time work and furnish the computer, also?
Editscript, can you run this on your computer with 2 different companies? nm

Many companies other than "A" give computer

Companies that provide a computer
Good Day,
Hope some of you are willing to help me out. I am running out of Unemployment Benefits and need to start applying for jobs again. Tried a few months back, but gave up after not receiving any decent, living-wage offers. Now my computer is on its last leg, throwing another obstacle into my job-search efforts.
Would anyone working for a company that still provides a computer to full-time employee MTs please provide the company name and, if you know, what they charge for computer rental?
I did research this in the archives, but there was no current information, and I had previously read a few times that more and more companies are stopping that practice and requiring MTs to provide their own computers. In my case, that is the old the chicken or the egg problem. My personal computer is old and does not meet some company's hardware requirements. I cannot get a decent job without a new computer, but I cannot pay for a new computer unless I have a decent job.
If anyone would care to share any good job openings, that would also be great. LOL
Any help is sincerely appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Which companies supply computer? sm
Looking for a dependable company that supplies the computer and everything you need. Are there any ones left?
Thanks.
What other companies besides Keystrokes uses a C-phone? TIA nm

IT/Computer setup or assistance for MT companies
I'm wondering if there are any of you out there who have transitioned from being an MT/QA to doing IT/Computer setup for an MT company? Or does anyone know if they hire for that on here ever? Thanks for your help :)
Partial list of companies providing a computer...sm
Diskriter, Precyse, Opti-Script (Penn.), CIT (Charts in Time), WebMedX, Spheris, and Amphion. Transcend used to. Maybe someone can say whether Transtech or MQ still do. I do not know if you have to be FT in order to get computer provided with any of these companies. Opti-Script in Penn. WILL provide one for part-timers. Good luck!
Know of any companies that use C-Phone and MSWord (no internet platforms)?

What companies provide computer/equipment for part-time? nm

RE: What companies provide computer/equipment for part-time? nm
Transcend
What good companies provide computer, etc. without charge for that equipment?
Do you know of any companies that provide computer, with or without cost to the MT?
I wanted to use my own computer and get rid of the RENT on TT computer, but Vista is not compatible.
Good way to make them money. Not have to upgrade software so that Vista is compatible with Vista. Huh?
Worked on C-phone for 10 years with 1 phone line

One more computer question. I got my computer today and
trying to set it up. Man unpacking the box and setting everything up is a major undertaking; more so for me because I used a laptop before and my desk isn't tower friendly. Anyway, no info came with the tower and I don't yet have the password to get in (paperwork says to call M-F). Is the tower WiFi compatible? My DSL is hooked to a different computer and I wanted to know if I can setup new computer as WiFi or if I need to move modem to new computer and set other computer up as WiFi.
I appreciate info on different companies...
There HAS to be SOMETHING to what they say about these companies. If not, then why so many unhappy MTs? Like another poster stated, deleting the posts from this forum does not delete it from our memories, and someone will be back on here complaining about the same or new things as long as they are not being heard by the company. If it bothers ____'s management team so much, then maybe they should listen to their MTs and treat them with the respect that they deserve. These MTSOs wouldn't be anywhere without its MTs, so why not try and make them happy. I am so glad we have a forum like this to share our good/bad experiences. You know the MTSOs can't stand it because they cannot take complete advantage of us, which is what most of the companies I have worked for tried to do to their MTs---as long as they are making their money off the sweat of our backs. It seems like KS can dish out the misery but can't take it when people start talking about it...just my opinion. Keep talking and sharing experiences, good and bad. Maybe this forum and others will force them to do right by us, especially regarding compensation. We have to work together and try to make the MT profession better.
KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO NO MATTER WHO DOESN'T LIKE IT!!!

Info on MT companies
I will be getting laid off in the very near future after 17 years as an in-house MT. We transcribed from tapes and so I do not have any experience working at home, using a wav pedal or software MT companies use. Are there any good companies willing to train in these areas? Can anyone give me information about Deventure, Precyse or MD-IT good or bad?
Need info on these companies please!
I have been offered jobs from these companies and I would really appreciate any input from those who work for them now, or have previously. I am scared to death of not making the right choice here, and it is very important to me as I am a single person with no one to fall back on for income, I am what I am!
The companies are: Axolotl, Keystrokes, Diskriter and Focus. Thank you SO much for any direction you can give me! :)
Any info on these companies?
Regarding pay, acute or clinic, bennies, flexibility, anything else you care to add. ExecuScribe, p.r.n. Transcription, Probity.
TIA!
C-phone - I purchased a c-phone from someone in Oklahoma but never got it. *sm*
First she told me her grandmother died. Then she told me she mailed it. Then she told me her daughter was having chemotherapy. Call me naive, but I thought she was sincere and cannot imagine anyone using their daughter as an excuse. If this is the same person from Oklahoma, I sure would like to know about it because now I want my money back.
Need new info on companies that pay weekly
I am leaving my in-house employment and would love any information that can be given to me regarding companies that pay weekly. I have a done a search, but haven't found any recent information. I appreciate any help you can offer.
Thank you!
Any info on Diskriter? Other companies FT with bennies?
I keep seeing jobs for home-based MTs with hospital benefits, employed by the hospital system in Florida, etc. I'd sure appreciate if anyone could provide info on this company. I've love to be in a work situation like this again, but know nothing about the company. I'm sick and tired of MQ. Need a FT situation with good benefits and MQs are so expensive and I think the out of pocket is ridiculous compared to what I've always had in the past. Thanks so much.
The archives are your friend for info on companies...
.
I don't have a second phone line ... cable modem for the internet, regular line for my C-phone.
If anyone wanst to get through to me while I'm working, they have my cell phone number.
And, as I said, some accounts are using wav files -- no doubt soon all of the accounts will convert. Hope so ... would make it easier (less expensive) to work when traveling. :-)
Lots of good companies out there -- hope you find one that fits :)
Any info on these companies? Fenton, TRX, Metro (in Georgia), Cobb, etc
Comprehensive Healthcare Service, Keystrokes, MDI-MD, and TSSC. Would appreciate the following info.
Good dictation quality?

Do you have a flexible schedule?
Weekend work mandatory?

Up to date info on Zylomed? People change and companies do to...(sm)
I need current information from MT's that do or have worked for Zylomed (Naples, FL) in the last year. If you've had a bad experience with them 2 or 3 years ago, don't bother writing. People change and companies do too! I need the real skinny on what's happening now. I would really appreciate hearing from current employees! Thanks so much!
companies change all the time - her info is old, she said. (sm/small message)
A turnover in managers,QA, leads, even recruiters can make an impact and happens all the time, so you never know; old info - grain of salt. newer info more reliable and needs to be found while considering.
Companies that have training for new hires - do most pay by hour during 1-2 weeks? any info? nm

C-Phone = Connexions Phone
Dictaphone is a company and one of their many products is a C-Phone.

No, I had to use their computer. Yes,
the accounts were full of ESLs. I was off QA really quickly, though. My team leader wasn't strict about the time schedules, but I always felt as if "big brother" was watching me. If I had to pick the kids up early from school, I had to make up my time. Understandable. It's not a bad place to work.
If you are using your own computer,
you can have on it what you want and have attached to it what you please. Only if you are using their computers can they ask this.
buy computer
You have to have $300.00 deducted from your pay checks in increments and if you stay with them for 3 years they will refund the money; that is what I was told when I was thinking about working for them
Do you still have their computer?
It is my understanding that when computers are sent out, the understanding is that if MT leaves final paycheck is held until equipment is returned. Which does not seem unreasonable to me.
Do you have to have their computer? Can you use your own? nm
nm
use own computer, or theirs?
I was wondering if you get a company computer...I don't think Extext works on my computer, but If I had theirs, I could hook up my keyboard/monitor/mouse with a KVM switch to their towr
computer
thanks! I get the drift! I won't be downloading anything.
What is the RAM. on your computer.
I was told when I first started that if I did not have 512 RAM on my computer it would cause the programs to lock up. I tried updating my computer to 512 RAM so I bought memory card after memory card but my computer is stubborn and won't go for it. So I have been typing on Merit on 384 RAM and so far so good. I was just thinking maybe that statement was for the Dictaphone.
you have to use their computer - sm
A lot of companies want you to use their computers because you will be transcribing directly into the hospital system. There are other reasons that companies want you to use their equipment only, i.e. virus protections, spyware, etc. If you take the position with Diskriter, please note that you cannot do anything personal on their equipment. They do monitor it. This means no personal emails or looking at sites that are not work related. I'm not sure if they emphasize that any more, but they did when I worked for them. And yes, they definitely monitor it.
yes, you need your own computer.
I've only been there about 6 months.
No. Take a look at your computer and see sm
if maybe you have too much running in the background. That definitely slows everything down. I only have my virus scan running, nothing else, in my startup group. Works fine. It's not always the company server at fault.
Why would you need to buy a computer?
ouldnt you just upgrade if you needed to?
