Do they provide computer/software? nm

They don't provide the standalone versions of that software.
It's built into their system. You can't use it for anything else. I don't do easy clinic notes either, so your feeble attempt at slamming me won't work. It's not the content that sucks; it's the quality.

Does anyone work for Intellitype? Please give me the ins and outs of what you think of the company. Thanks
IntelliType
They have an opening for their oncology account. I searched archives and almost all the messages were posted in 2004. Could someone please post with current info on this company. Good, bad, ugly????? Much appreciated.

Please, would MTs for this company please let me know how they are to work for...enough work, good people on staff to work with, flexible schedules, good platform, able to make a decent living?????? I have asked several times about this company but never get any response, good or bad. Nothing. Archives here has a few replies from 2004, but nothing recent. Please, would like to hear anything about this company if you have knowledge of them. TIA.
Intellitype
My neighbor works for Intellitype and has been with them for 7 years. She says it's ok. She works on an oncology account. She has 2 gripes - she has been getting 9 cents per line for 7 years and she has to work weekends. She was hired in working Monday through Friday but she found that on Monday there was no work forcing her to work on Saturday or Sunday. She has asked for a raise to no avail. Other than that she says the people are ok at Intellitype. Hope this helps.
INTELLITYPE
...OOps, you're correct, it is the Phillipines they offshore to. Sorry.

Intellitype
They have an ad on this board. Anyone familiar with this company...pros and cons, please.
Thanks
Intellitype
I like them. Tons of work. Platform is decent to work on. Dictators are mostly good. Pay on time every time, accurately.
Do you mean Intellitype?
If you mean Intellitype in California, they are so-so. I know because my neighbor has worked for them for about 7 years. Pay tops at 9 cents with spaces, at least for her, and she is a well-experienced oncology transcripitionist. You can be an Editor for the work they send to the Phillipines, but that is frustrating according to my neighbor - may as well type the whole thing. Pay for that was 4 cents a line. They encourage you to work on weekends, or at least, ask for help on the weekends. When they can get that help, there is not a lot of work on Monday for those logging on.
Intellitype
I know for a fact Rick (the owner) moved central office to Costa Rica. He does or was using a lot of offshore to the Philippines, and perhaps India. I'm not sure about now. I know the move to Costa Rica is real because my neighbor works for Intellitype. That's all I know.
Intellitype
Does anyone work for Intellitype. I'm interviewing with them. I'm hoping to get some info on how they are to work for and what I can expect to make with 13 years experience. Please help!
INTELLITYPE OFFSHORES
...but tries to keep it quiet and asks the American MTs to do the Indian's editing...
Intellitype for Oncology
You would have to be an IC but they are extremely flexible and I know are looking for help on this account. It is for Oncology. The company is great to work for and great people to deal with.
IntelliType info
I would like to find out what platform they use for their oncology account, percentage of ESL dictators, and how the staff is to work with. I have a lot of oncology experience and would like to apply, but thought I would get a little information on this company first. Thanks very much.
IntelliType/Lofin
Their system needs to be upgraded. It's slow. You waste a lot of time waiting for parts of the program to load. There have been technical issues for a long time that just do not seem to get resolved.
As for ESL, lots, same as most accounts. Sound quality is good.
The bonus structure is comical, adds up to next to nothing.
The work tends to run out on weekends and early mornings, especially Monday.
Not sure why she's hiring -- when there hasn't been work for the current MTs. Lots of SOS's, no incentive to go with it.
If you need a steady full time income, look elsewhere. If you can handle not knowing if there will be sufficient work or not, they might be a good match.
Intellitype or Lofin
Any one working for this compnay? Thanks
Intellitype good company
I have worked for Intellitype for the last 3 years transcribing radiology. They are a great bunch to work for. Pay is ALWAYS on time! I work on the ExText platform and have immediate access to my line counts at any given time. You as an IC dictate how many lines per day you want to commit to. Each month you fill out a calendar with the amount of lines for each day. If you are taking off a certain day or week you leave that area blank. I'm not sure about the other accounts they have, but radiology is the best, very low ESLs. When I first started with them, I had an acute care account with some ESLs, but once I learned them it was not a problem. My attitude is if you take the time to learn ESL doctors well you will benefit the most and be a better transcriptionist. Good luck!
IntelliType's method of paying????
Could anyone explain to me how IntelliType's tiered method of paying works? I have been offered a job with them but not sure I understand how this works. The recruiter said they pay 8.25 cpl for the first 700 lines, then after that it goes up to 8.50 until you get to 1000, and then up again to whatever amount of lines to 8.75, etc. How do you make any money this way? It's so confusing to me. Their ad states they pay 8-9 cpl, nothing about the tiered payment method. Are you able to make a decent living this way? It just seems very low for IC status.
Thanks for your help.
IntelliType...current employees
Would any current employees please tell me how they like working for IntelliType. I did talk to the recruiter about a job but it seems to me as though their pay rate for IC status is a bit low. What do you think about this? Do you feel you are able to earn a good living with them. This is for their ad regarding hematology/oncology. Do they have enough work? Platform good/bad, etc. Please let me know if you make a decent living. This is very important to me. Thanks so much for your help.
Any recent info on IntelliType.
the good, bad and ugly? TIA

MDI-MD (not FL) could provide what you need. :nm
Yes they do provide PCs
You must meet production goals which you have to do anyway. The pay is good with a lot of different types of incentives. My accounts are good with moderate to low ESLs and I'm not running out of work. I didn't need the computer but an MT I referred does use a TranTech PC. Overall great company, smart move on my part.
They provide everything.
They send you everything to include the tower, monitor and foot pedal. You have access to technical support 24/7, as well as management and editors.
By law she has to provide you with a
xx
They provide everything
you need except your type expander. You can request the dictionaries, and if they have any licenses, then the IT man will download it for you. Otherwise you may have to provide your own. I never had trouble with payment. Good luck!
don't they provide equipment...sm
even if you are an SE. I know I worked as an SE for them before, and used their equipment. So, why were you providing your own? 
Yes...Thanks for any info you might provide. nm

Regarding benefits, they provide
health insurance, life insurance, and PTO. I am returning to KS after having left there a few months ago to go back to MQ. Big mistake, as we all know. When I was at KS from April to August, the benefits were okay, but I am told that as of Jan 1 they are going to be really good. They are changing insurance carriers to a much better company and are in the process of supposedly putting together a benefit package, which includes the former benefits of life insurance, health, PTO, etc as well as an incentive package. I start back with them on Oct 31 and I can't wait! I should have never left in the first place, but I guess we all make mistakes in this profession.
I think all companies should provide a PC...
With any other job in an office they don't say You'll have to buy your own computer! :)
They will provide the C-phone - sm
foot pedal and headset. You pay $15 each pay to lease the c-phone.
They do provide a computer...
don't know about their insurance, tho.
They provide a lot of heartache too

Does MDI-MD provide a computer? NM

What companies provide PCs?
I am not sure if they provide a computer...
but they do provide the software that you will need. They are an AWESOME company to work for, at least that has been my experience (I am currently employed with them on the dictaphone platform), and they do offer medical/dental/vision, sick pay, vacation pay, holiday pay, and maternity leave. It is based on your line count x the minimum lines they require per week then divided by 40 hours, to come up with your hourly pay...for example, if your line count is 0.6/per line (just a figure I am throwing out to give you an idea), then multiply that by 5000 lines (which is the minimum lines required per week) equals $300/wk divided by 40 hours equals $7.50 per hour. That is what your holiday (+ lines for the day if you work....so double time of sorts), vacation, sick leave, maternity leave, etc. would be based on...hope this makes sense. (Sorry if any typos, it is late, and I am tired but wanted to reply....I hope I have at least helped!)
Yes, they provide computer.... sm
When I got pregnant, this was with a different company and a different insurance plan (not transcription related) 8 years ago, but I did get maternity leave that was paid. I don't think our insurance at Webmedx has maternity leave, but it does have short-term and if you are out of work 14 days that kicks in, so that may apply for maternity leave as you take FMLA, I think. I am not totally sure, though, on our insurance or how short term disability works, but that is what I was told before when I inquired. If out of work 14 days, short-term kicks in at a percentage of your regular pay. You can get more details when you call. :) Good luck to you. Just know that when you search you will find what you want. Hang in there.
They provide computer, but there is no sm
rental fee for it. I think there may be a deposit tho. Not sure about that.
Yes they provide computer - sm
and you have to use theirs. It's a great deal though, you get a brand new Dell computer with flat screen monitor, foot pedal, etc. It's strictly for work, nothing else can be loaded on it and no one else can use it. Helps to make sure you are maintaining a HIPAA environment and they provide full 24/7 tech support - it breaks - they FedEx or UPS a new one ASAP. No rental charge either - I think there may be a deposit now though. It comes already loaded with all the software and VPN client stuff.
They provide shorthand and sm
you have to have high-speed internet connection. Even with that, the last few days the platform has been iffy. They like to blame it on the internet, but they platform is the problem. Cuts out constantly. Lots of downtime.
don't provide unless hired.
If you are definitely taking employement I would provide it but you don't have to, to be considered.
MDI-MD does not provide computer.

Does TT provide the computer? NM
