Something just came on TV how the online scans on help from gov. on foreclosure has already started all over, they gave examples with picture of obama, asking for SS# personal infor, and money to start. Go straight to your lender to check it out. I wish you well, the whole thing is sooo sad, should have started long ago and jobs, this is the whole 2 things. smile

Scams
Ask about their line counting method. Is it verifiable? If asked to produce a report-by-report accounting would they be able to do that? Stay away from any companies wanting you to purchase equipment, footpedals, etc or even wanting you to get unlimited long distance without being reimbursed. This would be coming out of your pocket!! And most of all look for posts here re companies. If you see repeated posts about the same issuesover and over, chances are the posts are accurate and you would be wise to heed the warnings.
scams. i am very new to applying for positions
transcription companies. I would appreciated any info/tips on how to identify a scam company.
that's why I went with online
I had the same situation. Was being paid about $14.5 w/nighttime differential. Myself and 2 other MTs in the hospital did all the work (out of about 6 total) and were paid the lowest. When they hired someone who supposedly had a lot of experience that did not know basic rad terminology (and I mean this was REAL bad) and typed no more than 12 simple chest/bone reports in a 5-hr day and wouldn't fire her, I quit.
Best move I ever made. Went COBRA for 18 mos. Would never go back. They called about 6 mos later asking if I cd prn (they were 700 reports behind with the 2 other top MTs out) & I told them $20/hr and they wouldn't do it - so no go for me.
on their online app, it says they don't have PT.
where is the online EC

They have ads online, just none on here.
They have ads out all over the internet saying they are hiring, just none on here and I applied. They offered me the position the day after I applied and I got suspicious after I realized they didn't even require me to take any sort of test or anything. I hate that they sent me the equipment BEFORE they gave me this info, but I am going to mail it right back to them, it sounds too shady to me as well.
Well I tried looking online for information
but there was none of any help. I think that is a sign to decline the offer.
This is for online work...
maybe you have a backlog on C-phone work, but always a shortage with online.
OK- I didn't know they had online AND
C-Phone work. I may still apply....
Thanks...I went online and applied. nm
Online testing
Does anyone else have a problem with online testing for a company, in response to an ad on the job board, before even speaking with a recruiter or person from the company? The ad gives no indication of pay or the shift they are hiring for - do I spend time taking a test and then find out the hours I need are not available? Do I spend time taking a test, then find out the pay is so low and the insurance so high that I would not have applied, had I known this before hand? Does it feel kind of impersonal to take a test without even having had contact with a person? Do you spend time taking the test and hope the hours are what you want or do you just ignore this job posting?
Applying online....
On www.mditrans.net there is a link on the left that says apply online. I don't think there is a link to apply online at the other site, just email/phone numbers if you wish to contact them.
ascripts online
Has anyone heard of them? Thanks for the info.

MTEC
thanks, I did the online application for TT
hope to hear from them soon.
Not at online companies.
The ads tell all. They all pay between 7 and 9 cpl. Some will pay 10, but I would say they are probably ESL accounts that they can't find anyone to do.
Again: Nowadays this is done ONLINE...sm
What is going on on this boards?
Is this some kind of advertising campaign to buy
BOOKS
for doing MTing?
MTs are pressured to use hot keys (shortcuts) instead of the mouse ,, and not to take one's fingers off the keyboard, especialy when doing VR.
Why should I go and look into my books, wasting all that time?
one can look up these 'slangs' online,
does not mean one is a user.
8-9 cpl for online MTSOs and
with no middle man. 
apply online at medquist
statutory requires no minimum
Medscribe Online....any info?
Just trying to see if this company is legit or not. Do they pay on time? Thank you.
Anyone take the online Medware test?

usually, for the online tests, you can download...
the voice file into a file on your computer, then download into Express Scribe player (free online), so you can use your foot pedal instead of the keyboard.
No shortage on my online account
I only work via .wav account right now, so that is ONLY online work. My account has a backlog, and the total amount of minutes on the system for all online accounts awhile ago was about 2900, so I have no idea what's going on with your account, because there's no shortage that I can see.
Another ? about Med. Transcription Corp. & Online App.
Hi,
They ask what is your preferred specialty and preferred work type as well as most difficult specialty and work type.
What are they referring to when they say work type? I'm confused. Don't understand what they are referring to.
Thanks.
You can file a complaint online at www.bbb.org
.
I have made 3 complaints with the online BBB and it
did not cost a cent. It never hurts to try.
I sent them my resume and took their online tests...
they e-mailed me and said I did extremely well on the tests. Then I took the online transcription test. I told them ahead of time that in my 15 years of transcribing I did maybe 5 OP reports and they said that was fine. I have NO experience in them whatsoever. One of the test reports was an OP which I failed miserably. The other 2 reports I did fine on. However, they did not hire me and I have to believe it was solely on that one OP report because all they could tell me was I did well on MOST of the transcription test reports. Oh well...I have heard a lot of good about them though apart from running out of work.

Medscribe online test!?
Anybody ever try to apply with Medscribe? I have tried to contact these people repeatedly, taken their online test 3 times, and still I have no idea whats going on! I spoke to the recruiter guy, he said he would try to find out what the problem is, but I have not heard from him in awhile! Anyone else have this same problem?
I use a combination of online and books
I do radiology and have 4 Stedmans - radiology, medical and surgical equipment, cardiovascular and pulmonary, and ortho. I had a big drug book when I was typing acute care, but found that it was WAY too cumbersome and so used Medline Plus for drugs. I can't do without my Dorlands online, but if you go to dorlands.com, you have to pay for a subscription, so I used mercksource.com, clicked on Medical Dictionary and it takes you to Dorlands, and that page is in my Favorites. Of course, the reason I like radiology is that 99% of the time you're typing the same thing over and over and you rarely have to look anything up! But it's that 1% that'll get ya.
Yes, you can also print them from Utilipro online. nm

I took TransTech online test, anybody else? SM
How long until you hear from them?? TIA.
Online Externship needed
I am a transcription student looking for an online company that offers an externship. I have to complete an externship in order to graduate, but need to do so online, and am having trouble finding an online company that would be willing to take me in. I have looked at multiple sites for transcription companies but still feel like I am lost. Does any one know: Are there any companies offering online externships?
has anyone used the Keystrone online application?
I tried submitting it but it only brings me to a blank browser page.
Is there an ExText manual available online?

Why send resumes? Take the online tests.
Most of these outfits have online tests. You'll hear back a lot quicker, I'm sure.
You can purchase that insurance online. Just go to their website. You sm
do not need to be in a group.
I applied online either at their website or from a job posting on here (sm)
I didn't hear anything for about a week...so then I just called them and told them I submitted a resume and application (and that questionaire too) online and they asked me a few questions, then said someone would get back with me...I figured it would be a while but I heard back from them like an hour later and they offered me a position. I've been here about a month now and like it very much.
If you can view your paycheck online, you might be able to print W2s. NM

personal info is always at risk just by being online
all over the world...the perps are trying to get everyone's personal information....not just that company and their stupid error.....nothing is secure online no matter for the encryption codes or anything - NOTHING is 100% secure online...*hear that? all you people who bank online and pay bills online*??? Just because it hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean it is not in the works.
I remember few years ago Western Union got hacked (one of the oldest companies in America) and told all 100,000 customers to *cancel all your credit cards as we do not know what information the perps got on all of you*
Nothing is 100% secure online, not banking, not medical records, not your social security numbers nor your personal records.....even if you see the little lock at the task bar.....means not much to a computer whiz/cracker.
be aware 
TransHealth does not require online timesheets. nm
There are lots of online places to go for MT jobs! Do

I tested online but never heard from them..LOL..after 18 years (sm)
in the biz I guess I still don't know what I'm doing!
Companies using simple online software?
Hi all,
I tried to put up first post here and am not seeing it, so I'm sorry if I'm repeating myself. Anyway, I haven't looked for a job in years but am looking for something to supplement. I work from home for a hospital who uses Wmx's software. I'm wondering which companies use a similar platform, where I just log onto their website and the work is there, no file transferring, unzipping, etc? Is Editscript the same kind of thing, except for VR editing? (I also use Powerscribe). Thank you.
free typing test online
Not sure if this is what your looking for, but if you want to see wpm, Google free typing test and you will get a bunch of hits.
Anyone know of a really good online Radiology word/phrase
resource site? TIA.
What services don't require online time sheets?

Electronic Frontier Online Defamation Law - Defined
http://www.eff.org/issues/bloggers/legal/liability/defamation
I would not work for OSI because their online transcription test was so cumbersome w/o foot pedal
It took me 15 minutes to transcribe 30 seconds of dictation because so much time was wasted rewinding and fast forwarding with the mouse. I did not want to work for a company that could not even figure out to make the online test reasonable.
Honestly, I gained my first experience with Escription working for Focus. It was my first online job
So I stayed long enough to get comfortable and then moved on. It was a weird experience working with supervisors in India and the lack of communication but I never intended on staying. I bit the bullet, got my experience and left.
