EXText/Satellite
My experience says no.  The satellite connection I had just had too many highs and lows to be productive.  This was on Dictaphone EXText.   Hope this helps.  IMO, Broadband is definitely the way to go if at all possible.
Their system does work with satellite.
They are a decent company. I have been with them 1-1/2 years. Pay was late 1 time. Other than that it is direct deposit and on time. All of their accounts have some ESL. Yes, some of the ESL are horrible, but I think that can be found anywhere. They have a new line incentive program that is very nice as well.
satellite does not work well with VPNs. nm

Anyone work for CMT of CA -e-mail me

Used to work for them, got the same e-mail...
I used to work for them and I received the e-mail stating now is the time to come back.  They are not the #1 transcription company in the nation, and if they do have 85+ hospitals, where are they? I spoke to one American the whole time I worked for them..QA, team leaders, etc...all are Indian!! They tried to correct work that was already correct. They did not know what they were doing! How can they be QA and fixing OUR work when English is not their primary language? IMO, they are not a very professional company, and if someone spoke up just once to tell the nation about this company, I can guarantee there would not be a focus infomatics.
I work on ExText and like it.
I really like ExText.  They have made it pretty easy to use.  I feel their cpl rate is about average.  There are certainly worse paying companies out there.

E-mail must not work anymore -
Thank you for trying but this site is so screwed up, I don't feel comfortable posting it.  Seems like no one knows what is going on.
I said there was a group e-mail sent about being out of work.
They were not limiting anything.

I work on Extext and get my own counts.
Feel free to e-mail me.
I currently work with ExText and use Shorthand....
It works GREAT! I have over 15,000 shortcuts saved in it and am CONSTANTLY adding more. I work on an acute care account. HTH!
I work in ExText and love it
My main account is mostly templates, and it is an extremely easy ER account with about 8 doctors. I easily do between 400-500 lines per hour on that account. My secondary account is on Chartscript, and I do about 300-350 lines per hour on that account. I love them both.
Anyone still have dial up and work on Extext? sm
How does this work for you? I am afraid I will have to be on dial up for a while after I move and just wondering if anyone has any problems with it. A friend of mine has been on dial up with Extext for years and i have heard that Extext and DocQScribe works ok with Dial up. TIA.

Extext companies with plenty of work
I need to know what Extext companies have plenty of work right now and I can go work immediately and be able to download work.  I'm tired of having no work and no money. 
Any Extext companies with LOTS of work NOW?

To MDTC poster- Your e-mail addy does not work.
Thanks!
I work IC for a company who pays by check in mail
Never had a bounced check either.  I can see why you would worry though.  Maybe they will do the switch eventually. 
Anyone work for Excel Transcription out of IL - send me an e-mail nm
nm
I was a little troubled by that e-mail, too. The funny thing is, I work
an IC job that supplements my pay, and I got a call just Monday because I had not met my producton goal there. Apparently another vice president decided to earn a check this week...LOL.

No matter how much they jump up and down, you cannot transcribe what is not there. I was more than happy to remind that individual I do not get paid unless I work, so not meeting goal is probably MORE critical to me.

I thought by busting my tush on 2 jobs I would be guaranteed never to run out of work, but both failed me this past holiday. For all the gymnastics, I will be working all weekend this weekend just to have a decent paycheck. Sigh.
TransTech also uses ExText, but think they were running out of work, too. Any comments? nm

ETrans is looking for PT people on Extext for clinic work sm
I spoke to the recruiter on Friday, 10/24. I don't do clinic and I prefer to work in Extext, but they don't have OPs and cardiac stuff, which is all I do. I THINK she said she had rheumatology, psych and ortho on Extext, all clinic stuff. It is EtransPlus. You can look on Job seeker's or email me for her email address.
9cpl and 11 cpl for weekends. Use ExText. My ExText version wasn't compatible with theirs

How do I access MQ Internet mail? I'm registered on Q-Net but don't see any e-mail thingie the

Satellite is secure. Wireless DSL is less secure than satellite but
yet companies accept that. Satellite can be very secure depending on how you have everything set up.
Need good small company to work for with flexible schedule - e-mail me.nm

I didn't get the e-mail but I just sent you one and gave you my e-mail addy so (sm)

you could manually type it in and resend me the info.  Sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks.


how are you supposed to work and watch your mail all the time to play a stupid contest?
Transcend cares only about the big pay for its managers and corporate people, nothing for its MTs. Pay used to be decent, is less than mediocre for that horrible editing platform we are forced to use. ROMs have nothing to do but yell at the MTs and invent first grade games to play. I would rather have had the $1.48 postage and $1.00 it cost for the mouse pad and strip calendar.

Remember the old days when Edix used to give the Drake and Drake drug book for MT week? That was when Edix was a good company, too.
How are the MW accts that use the ExText? Good sound? Lots of work? Acute care or clinic? Thx. nm

Yes - regular mail and my reg mail stinks, so let them know.

Satellite
I believe one is Transcend. 
They had a ad once that said no satellite. nm

Do not get satellite!!!
Satellite is a waste of money. I had it for four years and I could hardly work for any MTSO companies. Most of them do not allow satellite. If you have DSL or cable, please go that route. I currently use EMDAT and I remember the employer's ad said no dial-up or satellite with EMDAT. Good luck!!!
Satellite, anyone? (sm)
I found a great house out in the boonies and the only available high-speed internet is by satellite, a company called Wild Blue. Does anyone know of any MT companies that let you work by satellite, and has anyone got any experience with Wild Blue or other satellite providers? I appreciate the help. Can't move if I can't work.
What is so bad about satellite

In my experience with satellite internet, it has been way better than cable as far as outages.  When I had an outage with cable, there was NOTHING I could do until it was back up and running usually by calling the cable company. 


If there is an outage with my satellite internet, I can do several things that ALWAYS WORK.  


EX #1:  If it is snowing and my internet isn't working, I go wipe off my satellite with a broom.. Internet is back instantly.  Sometimes I have to do this several times a day. 


EX #2:  If your internet isn't working and it isn't snowing or torrential downpour of rain, then unplug your internet and shut down your computer.  Restart and then plug everything back in.  Always works. 


Only time I have ever lost internet was to torrential downpours of rain and the second it let up, my internet was back.


Am I one of the lucky few that this happens to?  It is just so irritating to see not accepting satellite internet because of reliability issues. 


I think sometimes people just use that to an advantage and it gives ALL SATELLITE a bad name - I'll just tell them I didn't work because my internet was down.  Do you know how many times in the past 2 years I had to call off of work because of internet issues?  ZERO.  Do you know how many times I had to call off work because my cable internet was down?  At least once a week.  Not fun.


You can get satellite for $70/mo and
can get free systems sometimes if you sign a 12-mo contract.   If you are unable to get a job because you don't have high-speed internet then look at the cost of that versus satellite.
