ProType
I have worked for ProType in PA for the last year. I think they are great. My time is flexible and I make as much money as I want because I can work as much or as little as I want and when I want. Pay periods are twice a month, which is the 1st through the 15th and the 15th through the end of the month. I saw a posting that said they never knew when they were going to get paycheck, but I have never had a problem. I usually get my paycheck within 4 days after pay period ends like any hospital I ever worked for and they pay twice a month. I have been very happy with them. The work is steady. There are lots of dialects and lots of specialties because they are University of Pennsylvania and a teaching hospital and also Temple University Hospital (so doctors rotate as fellows and students come and go). They fit you to what your experience is and there is always someone available if you have questions. The owners are great!!. I got sick right after I started with them and I couldn't work very much. They stuck with me and were very supportive until I got back on my feet. That is more than I can say for another company I used to work for. (When my dad had cancer and I took even 3 days off they griped about it. That was Transhealth out of Franklin, Tennessee by the way. They were very regimental about when you worked and always looking over your shoulder. I didn't like them at all. They weren't very forgiving about scheduling at all!) Anyway that is I what I think of ProType. Great company to work for, great pay, and great hours.
Protype
Worked for them for about a year from 2001-2002. They have been bought by Cymed so everything may be different. They were very unorganized, mom & pop kind of place. Otherwise they were great, but I was doing letters and they could not come up with a mailing list in the whole year I was there, had to make my own database. Imagine that impact on your line count? Luckily my husband has a paycheck, otherwise I could not have done it that long.
Protype
Not much work ever. Are they hiring? IF so, I am surprised, because we don't have enough work.
Protype
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
Does anyone work for ProType and like it?! nm

Looking for information regarding this company. Pros and cons please. E-mail me if you do not want to post here. Thanks.
More ProType questions
I also am interested in Protype. Specifically would appreciate info on what platform they use. Also the old info looked like there was no direct deposit. Has this changed? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.
ProType is AWESOME!!!!!NM
The work is BEAUTIFUL!!!! and pay is pretty darn good.
Protype web page
I couldn't get onto their home page at www.protype.us as it said something about 'Apache' being installed on their page. Maybe they are in the process of building a web page. Anyway, I sent a pasted resume to office@protype.us and we'll see if I hear anything back. 
ProType in PA and flexible hours
I have worked for ProType for 1 year. They have flexible hours for the MT that is looking for it to work around her 3 children's schedule, and with regards to the MT looking for their address or phone number. They are ProType, Inc. 8794 West Chester Pike, Upper Darby, PA 19082 or you can contact Maureen with your contact information and any questions at office@protype.us or fax her at 1-610-853-9600, and she will get in touch with you as soon as she is available. See my other posting under ProType for specifics about company and my feelings about working for them. I think they are great! You do not have to live in PA to work for them.
Can anyone share with me any info on ProType

Futurenet uses it.

Futurenet
Can you work out of your home for Futurenet? They are located in Monrovia, arent they? I think they used to be in the same industrial office area as MQ.
futurenet
TONS of ESL, but pay is excellent and they have weekend & holiday bonuses that are very good! Very flexible and easy to work with.
FutureNet
Thanks for the info. I was offered a position with them today. The account that they told me I would be doing I know has a lot of ESLs. I am debating whether to take the job or not. Anyone heard of HPI (Health Information Partners)? It seems like a good company. Thanks again for the valuable info! Have a great Xmas.
FutureNet
Has anyone heard anything about this company - good, bad or ugly?
FutureNet
Terrific company, excellent pay, office staff,QA and Tech Support great. Other than no benefits, company extremely hard to beat
FutureNet
We've definitely had different experiences with the company. I've typed for them as an IC for about 2 years - guess I've gotten used to the account and dictators. Some are still bad but for the most part, they're ok. Quite a while ago they did have a gal in the office that was hateful but she's been gone for a while now, and I've found the rest of the crew to be terrific. Sorry you had a bad one with them, though. It is so hard to find a decent company; feel I found it with FN but went through a lot of companies until I did.
FUTURENET
Please let me know if you know anything about this company. How is the staff, etc.? Thanks!
FutureNet
It is a terrific company, friendly group. Typing platform is one of the easiest I have ever typed. Have worked for several companies and highly recommend this one.
FutureNet
Anybody working for FutureNet? Any info, good or bad?
futurenet
I have been with FutureNet for about 3 months now...after leaving Medquist...had been with Your Office Genie before MQ took over...15 years total. What you have at FN is a good portion of the old staff that was at the Monrovia office of YOG/MQ. I find them great to work with and have enough work and so far no problems..but then I have known most of them for years...mtgal847
FutureNet
What do you have to do to be SE with them? nm
Futurenet QA
How is QA at Futurenet? Do they dock for blanks, follow strict BOS or client specifics, quibble over commas, etc?
TIA!
FutureNet
Great company, great pay, direct deposit if line requirements are met and a lot of ESL dictators
FutureNet
Does anyone out there know what transcription program FutureNet uses and how difficult it is to learn? Just finished my shift at MQ and am exhausted from DQS...Thanks!
FutureNet
They use a word-based program called iType for some accounts, but I believe they use something else for another (which I'm not familiar with). I use iType on my accounts, and I found it very easy to learn. Hope this helps!
Futurenet
I just interviewed with them and saw some posts asking questions. I did my homework and asked a ton of questions based on experiences with other companies and some things I saw here. They were perfectly willing to answer them in detail and were very frank about the accounts and the difficulty, etc. Some places try to skate around the real answer, and that is not what I got here. I don't start until later this week, but I just wanted to let anyone considering know that they had no problem with questions that other companies sometimes act like they don't know or just don't want to answer, and believe me, I had a list!!
Futurenet
Anyone know what's going on at Futurenet? Really good people to work for but now usually running out of work or NO work. Heard they hired a bunch of MTs from MQ. It sure feels like MQ. Work o.k. between paydays and when payday gets close, the sharks who don't work other times decide to come in take all the work from those of us who stick to our shifts and are there all the time. I'm sick of companies like this and I'm really disappointed. Looking for PT work to fill in. I have a certain amount I have to make each day and now instead of doing it in 8-9 hours, I'm working around the clock and 7 days a week because of this. I'm sick of it. You would think management would look at who is there day in and day out, or at least cut out PT when there is no work available for FT. Oh, well - just sign me blue
FutureNet
I'm with you. I have been at this for 6 years and met my financial goal this last month. Now, am running out of work every day it seems. The thought of going to a new company is dismal because it takes me about 2 months to get up to speed on the learning curve. It is so very discouraging. I am ready to look for a new vocation if I could only think of one!
What is going on with Futurenet now? sm
Is work still low? Have they lost or gained any new accounts? Any changes? Curious about future employment.
FutureNet
Unfortunately, the work flow is still low.
FutureNet
I work for them, and they have 550 jobs this evening! Something must be wrong. Even though they have work today, lots of times, they are out!! I use for backup only.
FUTURENET
First of all, the majority of the management at FutureNet are former Your Office Genie/Medquist employees and I have worked with them for the last 15 yrs at YOG/MQ. They are great to work with...I always have enough work...and get QA backup whenever I ask for it..if you do not get an answer from the first person you talk to, there are other people to talk to there. Just keep trying. As far as work and workers are concerned, it was emailed out that the work was there but not many MTs were working their promised schedule and they were told they would have to hire more MTs to cover the work...so that is what is happening...it is a very good company to work for.
Futurenet does not. nm
Futurenet
Does anyone out there know how Futurenet counts lines? Do they pay for spaces? Thanks.
FUTURENET SM
Salutations, group. I am seeking information from someone who has or does work for FutureNet. Is this a good company? What about specialities or acute care? I am trying to gather enough information to make an informed choice whether to apply with them or not. Having had some poor experiences in the past, but willing to give another company a try, I would like as much info as possible - both ways - before I spend valuable time applying, testing, interviewing, etc. After reading this board and the other one, it seems that there are more bad companies than good. Also, I am applying for a radiology position where the work is done on-site. Can anyone tell me the going rate for in-house transcriptionists? Line? Hour? I haven't worked in-house in a long time and am totally out of that loop.
FutureNet?
Any current info on FutureNet? I know there have been past posts on them but just wondered what the current situation is like there. Any input appreciated! Thanks!
Futurenet. sm
They have converted 99% of their accounts to the word based program. I believe there are several Expanders that work with their program. As far as their so-called connection to YOG, well OF COURSE THERE IS! Tom Liu, who owns Futurenet, worked for Carole for years and designed and maintained the Cottage program software. When he started his own business, other than maintaining the software, they had no connection and they have no connection now. Good riddance to Carole, I say.
futurenet
what account were you on?
