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?
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? 
Do they provide equipment?
Also, do they have IC positions?
Is it possible to type clinic work only?
MQ does provide equipment

These used to provide equipment
Medquist (NJ), OSi (GA), Transcend (GA), Amphion (WI), Transtech (TX).
As far as I know, the only equipment they provide is a footpedal....sm
and the software, so you'd have to provide the rest of the equipment (computer, references books, etc.) Their website is www.gimtnet.com
Are there any companies out there that provide equipment
for their transcriptionists? I am finally able to get high speed internet services in my area and am anxious to get started working at home.
Thank you for any information.
Companies that provide Equipment?
I am wondering if there are still any companies that provide equipment. I have almost 20 years of experience, have a pentium processor and Windows XP, but I do not have a foot pedal... Does anyone know off hand?
Go to Webmedx. They provide equipment.
I love my job there.
Which companies provide equipment?
Just wondering which companies provide equipment, i.e., computer. Thanks in advance.
What companies provide equipment?
What kind of equipment, if any, does Deventure provide? sm
I went on their website and it didn't really have any information like that. I applied for one their positions on the Job Seekers Board, but I thought maybe I need to find out as much as I could before I talk with them, that is if they want to talk to me! Thanks.
webmedx and spheris provide equipment

Focus DOES NOT provide equipment, only headaches
Don't they provide all equipment, etc., at no charge? All things considered....
I've never worked for them, although after applying and passing their test quite awhile ago, they continually email me. I've never accepted because their constant advertising campaigns remind me of used-car salesmen.
I think they and Diskriter both provide everything though, so that's a perk for anyone with an older system.
computer no, equipment yes
They do provide a computer...
don't know about their insurance, tho.
Does MDI-MD provide a computer? NM

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.

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.
Medware does not provide a computer, but Precyse

Does Trans Tech provide the computer? nm

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?
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.
Equipment
You can rent a C-phone or Lanier unit from them, but you have to provide your own computer. You have to pay your own LD charges. No benefits as we are statutory employees. I've been with MDI for 18 months and have been very happy there.
Equipment?
Just hired. They require a $40 dollar lease payment a month for special pedal needed.
You must use their equipment, for which there is $200
zz
No, I have all my own equipment. sm
My checks were short and late from the very first check.
Equipment
I know that KS just stopped providing equipment. I asked my lead why and she told me flat out that it was taking a FT person to keep track of it, the shipping costs were getting out of hand and they were no longer going to stock endless supplies of it all.
When they made the decision, the owner contacted us all and offered it all dirt cheap: Pedals were $50, c-phones $100 and Lanier machines $200.
I have worked for many, far too many IMO, MTSOs and have always had to have my own equipment. It is part of being an MT.
I have been with KS for 2 years. During that time, they have been fair to me, have paid me on time and correctly and have always provided me with enough work to pay my bills, send 2 kids to college (2 more years and I am done!!!!!) and no have to depend on an ex-husband who does not always remember that child support is not optional.
If someone did not have to pay for their equipment, perhaps they worked something out with the office; I am sure if someone could not afford to purchase, even with being able to break it into 4 payments, the owner would have made special arrangements and probably just gave it to them. They're like that there. They look out for their own.
This is your job. You need to have the necessary equipment
A fax machine is standard equipment in the year 2007. If you work from home, you need to have the basics. Either that or pay the $1.50 a page and DEFINITELY do NOT complain to the company about it.
Equipment is now on the way...
I'll get it 30 something days after hire. So things are moving...just veeeery slowly.
Equipment - SM
All accounts are on different platforms and require different equipment. Some of them will require that you have your own C-phone or Lanier system with unlimited long distance. My 2 accounts are internet-based, so all I need are my transnet/Dictaphone pedal and my other acount just uses a USB wav pedal. They supplied me with the Dictaphone pedal when I started a year ago, but I already had my own USB pedal, which I use for my backup account. Each account is different, so you will want to ask them what equipment you will need. You will need your won computer, however.
Equipment
Precyse Solutions provides equipment.
MQ equipment....sm
Your friend shouldn't have to pay for the shipping. If MQ wants their equipment back, they need to send pre-paid UPS boxes.
I left MQ about 8 years ago. I held onto their equipment for at least 6 months. I contacted them several times. I was moving and didn't have the space for it anymore. Since they neglected to send boxes, I finally tossed the hard-drive into the back of a Rumpke garbage truck. I made sure I witnessed it being crushed to cover my a$$. The system was DOS and they had just transitioned onto their web-based platform, which is probably why they had no use for it.
