        You best not count those chickens (lines) before they hatch. You may end up editing - and if not, typing bad dictation.

You can make it up provided there is enough
work for all the others who need to make up too. They hired MTs to do a Friday-Monday shift so there was rarely excess work on the weekends to be able to make up a shortage. Some shifts have more work available than others during the week so may be easier to make it up then.

Equipment provided

Looking to change companies. I am currently using a company computer and don't want to have to buy a new one for work. Can anyone tell me which companies provide the necessary computer equipment?

P.S. ShortCuts is provided at no cost ...sm
to Transcend employees and is provided prior to their account moving over to editing.

Actually, I don't know if it comes with the Ex-Text but it is provided by the company

I concur. If the MR is not provided, and you are unsure you are
transcribing on the correct patient because patient's name/and or DOB were not given or prounced as you have searched, just bypass it.

They used to start off at very low pay and provided the puter. Don't

I provided several months for a company
as they appeared legit - offered me position and then never contacted me again. Will never do again. With today's identify theft being #1 crime in the nation - way too risky. I was told it was needed as they were going to do background. I should have done more background on them!!

No equipment provided. This was for an IC position. NM

Provided you are performing the line
count they are performing. Have to make sure it is 65 characters, but with or without spaces. It is amazing how many people work for an MTSO and don't know how the line count is counted. Also, different programs count different ways.

P.S....or if facility is closing and provided that
Which they almost certainly would in most cases. This law has NOT proven to provide the protection for laid off workers that you seem to imagine.

When I worked there last year they provided me
a C-phone.

provided link for info....
just to explain where VBC originated and how we are once again being sold out by AHDI.

MT has gone from being considered a secure job that provided a comfortable (sm)
middle-class living, to what it is now - sweatshop labor -with near 3rd-world conditions when it comes to how little it pays, loss of benefites, and how much one must work in order to earn half of what they made 15 years ago. Why am I still in it? Because I made the mistake of putting all my eggs in the MT basket years ago, when I was still young enough to change careers. But back then I didn't need or want to change careers. Now I'm too old to go back to school long enough to learn anything I could do that would pay decently (who wants a 70-year-old newbie at ANYthing?), and yet still a good 15 years away from retirement. So, although I keep looking around for something else, there is very little I could do at home on my own computer. I'm so burnt-out on offices & management that I doubt I could ever go back to an office ever again. The thought turns my stomach. I'm just hoping that I'll have enough in Soc. Security benefits when I'm finally eligible that I'll be able to get by on that AND a full-time (i.e., 60+ hours a week!) MT job.

Company-provided computer does not have printer with it.
Help out with this situation? Company's software is not compatible with Vista (my personal computer) yet, so I have no access to printer in order to print IM, if that is possible. Further help?

My court report provided the key to her software and
yes, you are IC and basically work for the court reporter. You work when they need you, sometimes weekends when they have rush jobs..without notice because they are not always notified by the attorneys until the last minute and you do HAVE to meet the deadline. Unless you are working for a trial court reporter, you are mainly working depositions. GOOD TO KNOW ABOUT THE ADVERTISEMENT. I think someone with transcribing skills can get into this very easily without that expense. By contacting court reporting companies, you can get the info on the court reporters looking for scopists.

And I sleep well at night, knowing I have provided

The answers provided are based on my personal experience only

need any information you can give me on Medware. What they pay, (depends on your experience) platform (Merit), training (frustrating, on par with many companies in like field), do you pay deposit for computer (you supply your own), what they are like to work for (depends on who your Team Lead is), work (feast or famine), offshore (Yes), etc. I need it quick and any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Yes I send the feedback back to the MT with the website provided..
that way they can see how easy it was for them to do the research and they can fill in the blank themselves, rather than being lazy and having me do it for them...:)

our hospital provided the outsource service samples of ESL's dictation so that the
reports wouldn't keep coming back with missing dictation and blanks and horrendous attempts at guessing. I would also keep asking your company over and over and over again to please provide you with a sample, if not from the hospital, then maybe from one of their transcriptionists on the same account.

You can post a resume unlike the one you provided your current employer and give yourself

a name like Provided Upon Contact. Set up a hotmail or yahoo email and go that route. When services contact you (and they will if you have what they're looking for) and it's not the service you work for presently, then you can respond to them.

Good Luck.
