It's called Tips 'N Techniques in MS Word --Productivity Tips and How-To's for the Transcriptionist compiled by Cheryl Flanders. It really helped me when I was new to Word. It comes in a large, handy spiral binder. I ordered mine from her website, cherylflanders.com. I believe it was around $40. You can also find her online help in a forum called ProductivityTalk.com.
Good luck, I hope this helps! Also, I'm sending you an email.

Absolutely awesome awesome platform. I love it.
I believe the concensus is you either love it or hate it. I personally love it and make lots of money.

Would like to hear from current or former employees with info on this company. You can email me if you would rather not post here. Thanks.
Heartlanders-find a Federal resource to help
Although my job has not been displaced, I can emphasize with your predicament. I have seen the decline in pay and benefits as a direct result of offshoring and only being able to find a job with a MTSO who stands against offshoring by sacrificing about 30% of what I had just 3 years ago. Now I have custody of a 2 yo and because I make just barely above the 200% poverty level, I do not qualify for goverment benefits that I have been paying into for the past 30 years; however, because of certain federal funds being administered differently at the discretion of different states, I could move to a different state and the 200% limit would not apply to me!
In researching what benefits ARE available to me, I found the website I have linked below. There are benefits available to persons who have lost their jobs to offshoring but I would like to point out one thing:
ONE of the programs requires that at least 3 OR MORE persons having been affected apply for the benefit. So please for the sake of each of you that are going through your own crises, band together so each of you can find a solution that works for your own needs. Please leave the ability to email each other in your posts so you can network. You need each other's support now more than ever! Find out what you CAN do for yourselves and for each other. What have you been paying taxes for all this time? You deserve whatever benefits you can obtain...you have already PAID for them!
Does anyone work for or have any information about MED-TECH Resource in GA? sm
I cannot seem to find anything recent in the archives. Thanks for your help.
Med-Tech Resource from one of the banners here is in Marietta, 770. They never replied to me, but

The platform is Word. Their program works with Word but does not change how Word works. nm
The benefits just changed the first part of this month. I don't have them but I remember them being reasonabl for a single person. Family and spouse was not reasonable in any way (in my opinion).
small to medium company that works in Word or Word-based program - email me. nm
nm
ExText is integrated with Word. Auto correct is a part of Word.
ExText is a Word based platform. When the page opens for you to type the document it will be just like you are typing in MS Word.
anyone work for Oracle - do they use Word or a Word-based program - e-mail me nm
nm
Just wanna work in Word - need company that works in WORD! nm
nm
Their program works with Word and does not change how Word functions. sm
You use your own expander. Overall I feel it is user friendly and I like it.
Does the Emdat platform use Word or is it Word-based? nm
nm
Word for Word Medical Transcription
Pros and cons please.
In his ad, he's asking for Word Perfect, not Word, if that matters. nm
s
The platform is not Word, but it is Word-based. I
had little Word experience and the recruiter told me to try to find a book to learn the basics of Word as their program is Word-based.
Now I wish they would just call me back......no word no word and
What is up with these MT companies that advertise. They don't even answer. I have a great resume, tons of experience. I'm confused.
C.C. You are Awesome
C.C. Thanks for always watching out for us!
AWESOME
TransTech is a GREAT place to work!
and they are AWESOME
to work for and with.
AWESOME!
U go girl (or guy)! Keep us informed about your new job and congrats!
Then that is awesome!
Best of luck!
Awesome!
Been here 7 years, back before it was bought out. There is endless work and that's NO joke. Small management staff, pay on time. Only drawback for some is using the C-phone. No hassles, nobody looking over your shoulder. You just work and get paid.
TRS is awesome!
I have worked for TRS for just over 2 years and couldn't be happier. TRS truly cares about its employees and it shows. I can't imagine working anywhere else.
YOU ARE AWESOME
Very well stated! I am VERY interested in the 3000 lines/6-8 hours. WOW! Can you emaiil me and share you knowledge on how you acheived this goal. Do you do this consistently, daily? I think I am pretty up there usually coming in around 2000, but I am very interested in how skilled, quality MTs come in at 3000 a day consistently??? Please share you knowledge with me so I can try it. Thank you for the great post! I am so frustrated reading this line count stuff. I love Transtech and my sense, as good as it can be in this remote working situation, is that they are honest people and wound not intentionally mesh with line counts.
Awesome!
That is an awesome rate. Usually it is 4 cpl. What company is this with?
That is awesome!
A friend told me when he went to RT school (a long time ago) he was taught by physicians. I heard nursing school used to be full of practical experience too.
Awesome!
I ended up typing the report over again, but believe me - I will NEVER forget your instructions on accessing a lost report, and I will get some cardboard ASAP!!! Thanks very much...
AWESOME
4-1/2 years and don't intend to leave. Great, great, great company.
Awesome!
I start tomorrow. I'm glad to hear that our supervisor is good.
You are AWESOME
You get the picture!
Awesome!
I worked for them for a couple of months. The work was very easy, but the paychecks were a little slow!
awesome post above. thank you for saying that!

I work for MDI-MD and I have had awesome help from QA.
Never anything negative, only helpful.
They do and the lines are awesome
nm
Wow! Awesome hop! Congrats! nm
If they are supposedly AWESOME
why do they have so much turnover and why are there so many posters who worked there and left? Don't you have to wonder about a company that is so great but still has to advertise?
This is awesome and is what this board
should be about!! Thank you.
awesome company
AccuStat Carolinas is a great company. Myself and many co-workers all keep in touch across the country as we all work for AccuStat and we all love them. The people are great to work for, pay is on time and the work is plentiful. The managers really help and get you going so their support is the best I have found in this market really!
Thumbs up for this company for sure!
They are growing like MAD! This is an awesome
company. Definitely not overhiring. I have been here almost two months now and I have never been happier with my job. The accounts are good, the people are amazing, from management to tech support and even the general office staff. They treat me incredibly well and many, many others on here say the same.
Awesome! I got the job and start really soon.
My husband is happy, but cautious, after all that has gone on recently. But, I sure believe this is an answer to a prayer.....and an angel must be looking out over us here. Thanks again for the kind words. It is a good day today! :)
lee perfect is just awesome nm

Awesome company...
I've been with them since the end of March and they don't expect you to start out at 700 lines a day. I started at a very low number (don't remember off hand)and have increased it by 50 per week. I will be up to 700 lines per day by the end of the May. Platform is great and the team is of people are awesome to work for, too. I plan to go full-time just as soon as I quit my other very flex part-time company and the two places are like day and night! MDI appreciates their people! Do yourself a favor, if you are even remotely interested, check them out and talk to their recruiter.
Wow that sounds awesome! nm

AWESOME. Did you hear
that AHDI/MTIA is now wanting MTs and editors who are entering the workforce and those currently employed will need to approach professional credentials the same way all other allied health workers do – as a necessary investment to engage in professional practice in this industry. Basically elevating the medical transcription certificate program to an associate degree by 2016?
Awesome post to you!
Ditto all around.
Penny is awesome!
I know everyone has their own opinions and experiences with people, but I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Penny Whalen. She is a great recruiter and a great person!!!
Awesome, prayers go with you
Wow that is so cool. My prayers will be going with you that the audience will have open hearts and ears to hear this dilemma and do something about it.. You are a credit to us all for standing up for our profession... Thanks for what you are doing..
awesome, are they flexible?
I have no problem sticking to my schedule, but since I won't have any vacation for awhile are they flexible? Say I want to take off a Wednesday, can I make it up on Friday or Saturday, or am I just out of luck?
My DH is off during the summer, so we try to take a weekday to go do something with the kids once in awhile and avoid the crowds!
