Andrews is by far the best. M-Tec is a close second.
What programs are you all using?

programs
I've always had to remove them myself. Go into your Control Panel off your start button and click on Add/Remove Programs and you can find what you need to remove. It will walk you through uninstalling. If you have icons on your desktop you can just right click and delete those but it won't remove the program unless you go into Control Panel.
TT has 2 different VR programs
I don't do VR but maybe someone else can help you with this.
Mentoring Programs can be
awful experiences, depending on which company you work for. My past experience was with Heartland and the mentoring program there was obnoxious with a capital O. I had to leave because of family issues, and I learned nothing while in the mentoring program. My general knowledge of the MT field, what I learned through general life experience or through MT training, certainly NOT from the mentoring program, is what kept me at the job. Had I had to rely soley on the mentoring program at Heartland, I would have been one of the many in my group that I just recently learned were hastily fired now that the company is changing hands. In your own situation, don't feel too bad if the company you applied to doesn't get in touch with you as soon as you had hoped or at all. The universe is sending you a message. Try, try again and NEVER give up.
Mentoring Programs
OSi has an excellent program for "newbies." You can apply through their website, http://www.ositranscription.com, being sure to include your school and certificate information.
If I'm not mistaken, Spheris has a similar program, as well. You might want to check with them. http://www.spheris.com
Best of luck to you!
switching from old programs
I posted this theory on the main board a couple of weeks ago. I read in the court papers for a lawsuit from a hospital that Medrite (specifically) had been inflating lines. It's an allegation, not proven, but if it's true, that means that transcriptionists on old programs such as Medrite are now experiencing a decrease in DQS because they were getting inflated lines before but no longer. I worked on MTs before and have noticed an increase in productivity on DQS. My MTS came out to a 65 cpl count, as does DQS (spaces included on both). Has anyone experienced a decrease in line count moving from MTS? So far I just hear people complaining who came from Medrite or cottage.
Transhealth programs and IT
I am thinking about buying IT to use, sounds like it is a great program. My question is does anyone that works for Transhealth and uses Chartmatrix use IT? How does it work? Thanks.
Yes, they are very similar programs
I have both WordPerfect 10 and Word 2003 on my computer.
Are there any other shortcut programs out there (sm)
besides Shorthand? I just wondered if there were any others so I could check out their programs and prices. I downloaded ShortHand and it's pretty good but just want to know if there are more programs out there. Thanks!
They are FutureNet programs
you need to be connected to upload them to your computer and connected to transmit them back. I do not think you need to be connected while you are working. You can download in batches of 5 or whatever number they authorize you for, disconnect from the net, transcribe, then re-connect and transmit.
is this the info you needed?
MT mentoring programs (employment)
Hi,
Can someone tell me if or what they know about MT mentoring programs? I'm being considered for a couple through well-known companies that were actually referred to me. Then I heard from someone else that you have to be cautious because someone they knew wasn’t paid. I've been looking for a job a long time now and I was almost hired. It fell through because they couldn't hire after all. Like I said, I'm waiting on some feedback from a couple of mentoring programs but it will be in January. The last few weeks I've had to put MT employment searching on hold because of the upcoming holidays; Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc. I would appreciate any feedback on this thanks.

MT mentoring programs (employment)
Brenda, Thank you for the advice. All I want is training from a legitimate and accredited school and to work for a legitimate company? Is that to much to ask?
line counting programs
I know abacus is free to download, but I have found that it is inconsistent with its counting abilities in my own experiences. I believe this site, MTStars has a line counting program available too, but I do not know if it is free. I don't know anything about wtd. lines. best of luck.
I think they use different programs, very confusing and disorganized
nm
Now that's helpful! I wonder if that's true for other programs?

Vista is not compatible with many programs out there yet. (sm)
From what I hear, Vista and MOST transcription platforms are not compatible.
There are better MT education programs out there (M-Tec and Andrews) but
CS does have segment of their program that Spheris is involved with. However, my understanding is starting pay for newbies at Spheris is low, even by today's standards.
My suggestion would be to check out other schooling options and other companies to work for before taking the leap. Do some searching of the archives here for more info both on schools and employers. (Also, you should be aware that CS has an affiliate program where people make money by getting others to sign up for their course so you may want to take any rave reviews with a grain of salt.)
line counting programs
If the line count in a particular platform, for example ExText, is compared to MS Word count where the total word count is divided by 65, shouldn't the count be about the same?
line counting programs
In this case, the count in ExText is way below that of MS Word for the same reports. I don't have another line counting program to go by but wouldn't you think from this that something isn't quite right?
I've tried to open it with all these programs?
What companies offer internship programs?
 Please post. TIA
Good programs can be run on faulty servers
.
I think all those programs can be tweaked. Did it say in your contract how the lines would be
s
A lot of programs with their program. Not user friendly.

This only pertains to federal health programs
Like VA. It says if the MTSO is paid with federal money, then they are subject to all these things.
They are changing line count programs, not platform.

If the tech doesn't know his stuff, it won't work. Programs like 123
you can have another tower set up for the new account to go on and use a KVM switch between your machines. You keep the single monitor and keyboard and hit a few keys when you need to switch back and forth to work or check the email, etc. Good luck! nm
Wasnt that software awful. Quit after one day. Too many programs to open before you could even do
a single report..What a waste of time.. too bad though. They seemed to be a really nice company to work for, but there was no way I was taking half the day to do two reports. NO WAY>>>
I love working on Meditech. I find it faster than other programs. It really does sm
depend on the account, the version, your connection, etc. There is not a lot of donated time in my opinion. I type upwards of 3000 lines per day (65 character count, not gross) and only work 8 hours. The spellcheck is medical on the account I am on. I use my Expanders for everything. Most of us on the account I am on do over 1500 lines a day, so maybe different accounts are set up different at the actual hospital. I have never lost a report in the middle, although I read that a lot here. I have been working on it for over 3 years.
eMTS uses several different software programs depending on the client, including CareFlow and

Check Monster, CareerBuilder, MedHunters.com. Check with the companies you see listed if they're

Does background check include credit check?
"You can check my credit if I can check yours"

It does work, you do not need to "make" it work.. it works in all word based programs.

Credit check, FBI check was not for
me. The notion that if you don't pay your bills means your not a responsible person really kills me!!! Lots of people have $$ problems, especially if you are an MT, LOL!!! They are the only company I know that does these checks. Seems a little anal to me!!!
They can check mine if I can check theirs...nm
Thank you. I will check into it.

Might Want to Check Them Out...
Actually, they are a recruiting firm that ARE recruiting for a large US based company...
Thank you! Will check them out too!

MQ check
Well, that threw me for a curve when I got the ipay notice, checked it out on ADP's site and it said for DEP adjustment???
I have'nt got the real check yet and did not know a letter was to accompany the check I was not expecting, so what is this for?
Check out
other trx message boards in which they repeat the same negative comments about Transhealth and go into more detail about the situations they encountered.
Thanks, I might check them out. nm

Check out JLG nm
treat there mts well
You can check into
Verizon wireless. They have a PC card that you can use in your laptop. It will give your computer a signal and it will work like a cell phone. As long as you are in the Verison service area you can use the internet. I have a family member who is always on the go and loves it!
You bet they can - check this out.

First Pay Check?
Is this your first paycheck from the company? If it is, then that's what happened to me on my first pay check only. I get paid every two weeks, but the first paycheck was withheld for two weeks so when I finally got paid I waited 6 weeks, but now my pay comes every two weeks.
check your......
email for a private message that I left you.
FTP - buy it check out
Bytescribe web side. I think there is a free one somewhere too. Very easy to use and kind of fun.
Did you check... (sm)
The system status on the main page? As of 1 pm PDT, status is Okay -- sort of -- It's the phone company's fault. (It was that way a couple of hours ago, too.) Clearly there's a technical problem of some sort(but I'm not sure I'd get paranoid about it and/or say Same Old S...)
no check yet either
Yes, I am in the same situation with the same company. They informed of my 9 cents rate and weekly pay. That was two and a half weeks ago. The work was definitely there and they constantly calling me to work. I got suspicious the second day when they did not send me a 1099 and no other paperwork besides their MT scope letter which means nothing but what hours can you commit to. Well, I felt it was too good to be true. I really like the account too but they wanted to me email every 30 minutes the work so they could cut and paste the work into the system. I was like how the system know if it was my work etc, etc. By the grace and mercy of prayer I have a job with benefits now while I was only IC with DocuMed.
