Last year you needed Word 2003 to work for them. Prior to that, you used their machine

Said to have payment issues in the past. Needed Office 2003

A year ago, I was offered 8 cpl for experience and I needed my own Word 2003. I turned them down. nm

MS Word 2003
Does anyone know where I can purchase MS Word 2003? My new computer runs Microsoft Suite 2006. Word 2007 is the latest thing, and my new employer's system can't run 2007.
I had to get word 2003
for their program, and it was like $350! My computer only has 2000.
Word 2003
I know it kinda sucks about having to upgrade for just one job, but it was actually money well-spent for any future jobs you take. It always looks good on a resume to have updated versions of whatever program is available. Hopefully if things don't work out where you are, you'll be able to get a new job somewhere that appreciates hard work!! =)
Word 2003
Any idea why so many MTSOs are now requiring Word 2003? Reviews state it's not much of an improvement over 2002 and that it has some features that actually slow you down.
You say word 2003 upgrade. Is this
I didn't have to upgrade because I had it already but if its the same company I think the QA person can use a class in learning how to deal with people without rudeness.
AlphaMed is new, so pay isn't that high yet and you need Word 2003 there. nm

They've used ExText in the past. Ad from 2006 said you need Word 2003. Offered 8 cpl for

2003 does not work with their platform
Only 2000 and 2002.
I have been with them since 2003 and...
No complaints. For the most part good dictators. Few ESL's. Dependable payment. Good QA team, very helpful. Good company to work for.
Since 2003. nm
.
I have been there since 2003 and only ran out once right after sm
I was hired. There is plenty of work if you are willing to do more than one account.
Worked there since 2003
No bad news here. Completely satisfied.
Employed since 2003
I like working with them. We have just recently merged with MD-IT so I don't know a whole lot about the new company but MTSource was great. Whether MD-IT will influence and make changes is something that I don't know. So far - so good. You can use Instant Text but only the latest version.
They will not hire if you have 2003 or above
They are definitely old fashion and not up-to-date with the new technology. Definitely not the company for me. I did not take the job because I would not go backwards!!!
back in 2003
they actually tried this & outsourced & the doctors had a fit & went to the CEO bout incorrect reports & the contract got cancelled & we were working back for the hospital within a matter of less than 3 months. I don't see knowing what a disaster it was then why in the world they wanna do it again!
I worked for D&L for 3 years until 2003
what would you like to know? Things apparently have changed there I was told though but I may be able to answer some questions about it.
Interview from 2003 w/the Shapins
Wow...drastic changes, yes?

The couple also worries about transcription services who turn to off-shore employees to complete the work.
How do you know they're compliant (with United States medical record privacy laws)? Juliann Shapin asked. I get e-mails from these people in India every day. 'Us, let transcription for you do, cheap.' It's not worth it. Sure, it's cheaper, but you get what you pay for.
since 2003, I do believe they pay higher than most nationals sm
and quite a bit higher per line for speech recognition. you could mention you don't want a cut. I think they are looking right now for Tues-Sat or Sunday through Thursday schedules.
Yes, worked for them back around 2003 (sm)
Stayed about 3 years. When I started, they were still Edix, and they were fabulous! Good line rates, great QA team, and some of the nicest trainers I've ever worked with.
Then they gobbled up a few smaller companies, became Spheris, and took away our quality bonuses, moving to a strict production-based incentive program. It was still okay for me, because I really liked my accounts and had a great supervisor.
Then they chased off some of the best supervisors, and then I moved on.
I tell friends who ask now that it's a great place to build experience if you are just starting out, but that I would never advise anyone to stick with them long-term. There are better firms out there. Not bad, but not great, in other words.
Yes it does. MQ bought Lanier in October 2003.

Ya know what, if you don't have Word and not experienced using it it is best you wait.
The companies usually use parts of Word and mesh it with their own platform and some are a pain to learn., so if trying to learn 2 things, plus all the other stuff, the client, QA and employer preferences to set up report it is just sooo hard for you.
Even instant perfect is not enough. One has to learn each dictator style, and the employers have no monitoring how the dictators DICTATE one little bit, they just don't care, they expect perfection with junk and the dictators certainly do not care, because they can nobody is telling them to clean up their act. Don't mean to discourage, but saying it like it is out there. PLUS, the rates are so low, you can make more at Jack-in-the-Box. Not exaggerating either..
A net search brings up a defunct website with a 2003 date on it. Maybe not out there anymore? nm

our own Claudia Tessier in 2003...she is executive director of Mobile Health Care Alliance. check t
http://www.mohca.org/presentations/MoHCAintro0103.pdf
this is, in fact, doing away with medical transcription as we know it. rather than free text, there will be standardized text at point-of-service. even coders and billers will be replaced by the computers.
this is at the MOHCA site as well.
re: Word/mgmt
When I applied, Word 2000 and Excel 2000 was the minimum that you needed.. I did ask about the bounced checks, etc and was told that they do not currently have an issue but it was at one time.
Adept Word Mgmt.
I used to work for them when I lived in Texas and I did not like them at all. Don't bother....
Word of advice. I was told by mgmt. once that they
that are easier so that they can learn the platform and TTS quicker without having to deal with heavy ESL or particularly picky account specific information. Once the new hire is adept at the what they need to know company-wide, they put them on an account where the need is greater. Well, actually, the not-so-new-anymore hire ASKS for a secondary account because for some 'mysterious' reason they run out of work on the account they were trained on. Then, viola, you're in the same boat as 85% of the Transcend workforce. Unless of course you know someone personally on the mgmt. team.
Has anyone worked for the Word Pros on an as-needed basis? Thanks. NM
Anyone with info on The Word Pros or anyone who has worked on an as-needed basis? NM

Word around the office is that the
national I work for just sold to SPI? If so, are they good to work for? Should we be scared? The owners are being very evasive even to mgt and rumors are rampant here in the office. With the way they communicate to us, we will get an email from them on Friday at 5 p.m. saying they sold the company and the new owners take over at 5:01 p.m. Should have known this was coming when they only signed a 6 month renewal lease on their new building. Heads up people in Florida, big announcement should be coming soon if this is true.
Word global should be clue. Perhaps their main office is

I don't work in the office and never claimed to. I am just saying that since the new office open
October with everyone of the admin staff in one place, these problems do not occur any more.
anyone work for Oracle - do they use Word or a Word-based program - e-mail me nm

Just wanna work in Word - need company that works in WORD! nm

Can't get paid in the office if you don't work in the office.
JLG has MT's working at home, not in the office, not to mention working out of state. The mail is the only way to get paid since they have temporarily suspended direct deposit. The only ones getting paid on time are the ones that do work in the office, like the management and people answering the phone.
I'm not mgmt. I don't even work there, but was
My choice was between TT and another company. The other company went higher than 9 cpl, and I went with them.
I did speak with my manager. Work was promised. No work there when I needed to work.
I see the reports everyday too, but when I get work it is of bad quality, then there is no work unless I work diffrent shifts. Thank you.
NO WORK again today -- mgmt, are your checks LOW, too???? n/m
Who is making the money to keep your paychecks the same????
Is this really fair? You mgmt people should be doling out some of your paychecks to us MT's who have NO WORK and LOW PAYCHECKS.
Didn't realize you were actually MISSING a day of work b/o people working O/T. What did mgmt say?
nm
but mgmt told me they outsourced some work to a small company at times.
There is no reason for me to lie about this.
I am NOT talking about offshoring, but the company whom they outsource to may offshore . . . I have no idea about that. But straight from the horse's mouth, they have outsourced to a small MTSO before.
You can notice how the work dries up all of a sudden when they turn it over to the service and we have no work.
TT mgmt may not tell that they outsource today, but they definitely told me about 9 months ago when I asked when the work was low. From the way the jobs disappear occasionally, I think it happens quite often.
I work Mon-Fri and occasional weekends as needed but have done this
by choice. I have never been forced to work a weekend. I am a high producer. I don't complain or take up any time of my Lead. I have only had one report rejected ever on this account and it was transposing patient numbers. I double-check now. I started at $1.10 per report, make $1.25 now and $1.81 per report for holidays. I only worked one holiday last year, the 4th of July, because they took volunteers first.
I am FT days but will work in the evenings if needed. Those days I have had 200-250 reports so it was worth it to me, but I try not to so I don't burn out.
From an ad last year, you needed a Cphone to work. Don't know anything about them. nm
s
I was told when they needed help and that is when they expected me to work
so it is possible she was told what days and times, as that is pretty much what they said to me. Then work was never available during that time slot and so I opted to move on.
I haven't needed more work - there is plenty on my acct

You needed a Cphone & 2nd line to work there in the past. nm
s
Post from 2005 said you needed a Cphone and you HAD to buy Workman's Comp insurance to work

Work is easy, very nice owner, pays weekly, work in Word.
It does work, you do not need to "make" it work.. it works in all word based programs.

Which office do you work out of.
