and it was fine, but what I've heard about the rest of the program is that it's terrible.

Okay.. I've tried Windows Media and Real Player.. nothing.. still saying I need codecs.
I've never had this problem playing a test before. I am not sure what the deal is. I hate to give up .. but...
Yes, I agree. The sound quality with VoiceWave Player is really bad. Worst I've ever heard.

I've worked for MDI-MD very part time for many yrs
No, I've never gotten a Christmas bonus. But they still are hands down the best company I have ever worked for and their gift to me is being a company that pays well every day. I'd rather have that than a company that pays me 8 cpl and sends me a $50 Christmas gift. The only reason I work for them very part time is that I have my own accounts in addition to working for MDI. Someday when I'm older and more tired, I will give up my own accounts and work for MDI alone.
Wav Player
Oh they will send it to you if you request it -- by testing you they get their work done free of charge.
Sorry, should have been team player. nm

why do they ask IF we want them to send WAV player

Ad from Jan. 07 said 8 and 9 cpl, need your own wav player, 800 lpd min. Old posts

What if any companies use the DVI VoiceWave Player
to download jobs. I find it very easy, efficient and fast with good sound quality. Just wonder if there are any other companies using it, as I will be leaving the company I presently work for.
Their ad says only 6-8 cpl and you need Start/Stop Player. nm

make sure your player is set to play

Little box for transnet player question. (sm)
Is there a way to move this box up to the top of the screen and out of the way of the document so you can leave it open while typing report? Hate to call Tech support if it is really something simple. I tried to just move it, but can't seem to get it done.
Any help appreciated.
Transnet Player Not Working
I have a USB pedal, which normally works with just about everything, but cannot get it to work with the Transnet player. When I manually click on the play arrow on the player itself, it plays, but not with the pedal. What could be wrong?
ExText Transnet Player
First of all when the player comes up click Alt+T to keep player on top. Next click Alt+M to remember position.
1. Alt+V = Volume. Move left/right arrow keys to increase or decrease.
2. Alt+P = Play. Move left/right keys as above to increase or decrease.
3. Alt+A = Auto backspace. Same principles as above.
4. Alt+R = Rewind.
5. Alt+F = Forward.
Hope this helps.
Do you have Real player...works fine on that

Any companies hiring IC that use the VoiceWave Player,
and pays 10 cpl minimum. Thanks.
Mine opened on Real Player.. but I'm not doing them either. nm
Phoenix Medcom, pedal and player
InScribe compatible - any ideas where to get these? Or what the learning curve is on the software? Can I use my old Expander or import it somehow?
LOL!! DVD player for staying more than one week!!!GOOD Grief!!!
Must be really awful!!!
Bytescribe is not a platform, just a digital voice player - sm
That said I have always liked it, but it only allows 3 installations, which I have used up on mine, after that you have to get permission from them. I need to do that as my computer crashed and am now unable to reinstall it, a real pain in the butt. I have heard you have to purchase additional installations after 3 but don't know about that as of yet. But it is a very versatile program/player, places every type of voice file that I have ever needed it to (.dss, .wav, Playall).
I got it to open on Real Player but I didn't do it. The tests
had patient names etc.. I suspect they wanted free work done and then had a 24-hour turnaround. No thanks. I smell a rat.
I had that happen and had to play them in Windows media player-nm

After all these years, if I use Media Player, I just have my test outline ready and play the voice

OH - I thought part transcription, part escription, but don't know for sure

I still feel like a team player of Spheris, as the shackle scars are still on my legs! Spheris was
Micromanaged to the microsecond, or ms! Horrible. And part of a team? Total opposite - part of a team as in prison.
They no longer hire part-time and may be eliminating part-time employees within the next 6 months.
They are going to have those that are PT go FT if possible. Some accounts require 1 weekend day, but not all. Most transcriptionists have 1 account with 1 back-up account. I know that they are hiring for hospital accounts in medical records and radiology right now.
No PTO for part-time. Not sure if you can work part-time or not since recent rule change. sm
You do pay a deposit for their equipment.
There is a part-time and a flexible part-time, just left there and they offered
me both. Flexible, however, is more or less when they need you (I.e. weekends), part-time is fixed hours.
What good does it do? They've lied, they've betrayed us.
They've taken all they are going to take from me. I am not going to waste any more time being angry. I hate the way things ended, but I refuse to accept the blame for any part of it because I know that was a lie too, even though they did try to blame the MTs. I know part of the problem was quality issues, but QA wasn't to blame for that either, although they have been.
It is time to pick up and move on. I think mgmt will reap what they sow. For those who worked on the main account Webmedx is still hiring, though the best time slots have already been taken.
What the heck? I've never heard that in the 8 yrs I've worked here. sm
Go back to your STM or over his or her head.
Yes I know they hire part time because I referred someone there for part time.
They are internet based.
From what I understand, the part-time positions will be only be for those that are already part-time
It is not a restructuring of the company, just of some of the existing part-time positions.
I know that there are a few employees who have been with Keystrokes for many, many years who are part-time and they will not displaced.
Other than that, there have been many discussions why there will not be any new part-time employees hired, and I really don't think they will back down on that.
Since you've brought it up, I've stopped SM
giving the negative info because every time I have in the past I am called a disgruntled ex-employee or told that my experience has no relation to what the company is like today.
I won't repeat the information I've given in the past, anyone can find it on searches. I've decided to just let the people have their experience with the company and that experience will validate everything I've ever said about those people.
The same people own and run that company--they may have new names doing the management, but it still runs the same way.
You've got it ~ you've hit the nail on the head....
I can Google until dawn and still not find John Smith in NY - you know the neurologist... Cut me a break! I've now learned to ask my online company for a list of referring physicians (since none of the accounts are in my state) and also ask for websites for the hospitals, but I still don't take more than 5 min of my own time to find referring physicians. I send it right through with a verify cc:...
As far as making an educated guess, I would only do that if it was my own account and I know the dictator well. For the online company, it is their responsibility to make that educated guess as it is their client, not mine. I leave that up to the company to make assumptions; this way it is on their back, not mine when it comes to the legality of the report. Ultimately, the physician is responsible when signing that report or there should be clause on those reports that state dictated but not read. If that clause is not there, then it is the physician's responsibility to know the content, not the MT. An MT can only transcribe what they hear and really should not be making educated guesses on anyone since we live in a world of sue-happy patients and their malpractice insurance is so high. If there is a question, it needs to go the dictator to resolve.
JMO - been doing this for over 20 years. 
I've been a QA 15 years and I've never heard
of any company only paying for the actual Keystrokes of the blank. You would literally make less than minimum wage that way. Waaay less.
I've come here for as long as I've been...
...an MT, for the same reasons all of you do. I don't scan the boards looking for false accusations, but when something comes up that does involve me, I would like the opportunity to defend myself. That's all...
Okay, I get that part but... sm
aren't our IP addresses available only to the board administrators?
Or was the OP trying to say that the board administrators have a vested interest in this particular company... and keeping this particular company's name clean??? (If that's the case, I won't act surprised when my post is deleted... but I'm new here and I honestly have no idea who has loyalty to a particular MTSO, or not...)
This is part of the UAW
I am not sure this is a good bet for MTs. There are some benefits but I do not see that you get the full tilt of auto worker benefits .. not by a long shot. Keep in mind too that many employers of MTs .. most particularly hospitals go bonkers over the mere whisper of the word union. The other thought that strikes me is that the auto workers are in more dire straits than we are .. so how good is this union thing after all?
well, part of their ad says they pay
9-11 cpl, so some MTs ARE getting the 11 cpl and it has to be for a good reason (i.e., high producer, dependable, versatile, longevity, etc.).
it's probably this part of it...sm
necessary decision in order for them to move forward and achieve their new goals for 2008
What the hey? What do you mean I was a part of it? sm
It's not much of a secret where I work now (TransTech).
this part got me....
For those who have had a bad experience, I suggest giving it another try.
Aiya!!
For the most part
I used to work for them. Communication was kind of lacking, but I have seen worse. The work was relatively easy, and the pay was average, and I always got paid on time
Looking for part-time
I am looking for a part-time or IC (part-time hours) transcription position with flexible hours. If anyone can direct me to specific companies who may consider this, I would really appreciate your help.
looking for part time
Webmedx used to hire part time and they are looking for people. Also look up Amphion on the web. they are in Wisconsin.They have hired part time in the past, may still be looking - nice people, steady company.
See, that's part of the problem.
I'm not saying "all negative posts are bad." The ones giving specific details can be VERY helpful.
It's just that usually no one comes here just to say "I love Company Name" (or if they do they get flamed). OTOH, people do come here to post "I HATE COMPANY NAME" - sometimes giving reasons and sometimes not.
In addition, when opinions are requested on a particular company, the negative posts saying "It sux. NoMessage" outweigh any positive posts 3:1 - and again, positive posts are frequently flamed.
Bottom line - I think the overall viewpoint here is slightly skewed towards the negative.
Not crazy on their part
money, money, money. What I think is crazy is MTs putting up with it. Life is too short to sit at the keyboard 24/7 trying to get enough work to pay the light bill.
Yes it is crazy on their part
What happens when you put a bunch of people on an account they don't know and could care less about and can't make money on? The account is soon lost. Seems to me the company is cutting its own throat doing business this way. Any bonuses the managers make better be wisely invested for when they are out on their butts because there aren't any accounts left.
Now that part about ESL is very true. However, I
have never worked for a company that did not have a lot of ESL. It is just part of the job. Honestly now, for MTs that cannot learn them, then they should not be in this business. More and more of our physicians are ESL and we must learn to deal with it. As far as the emails for today, I have received 3 thus far. None were remotely rude or anything. As far as grammar/spell check in the emails, that does not bother me. As long as they get their point across, it is fine. They are just quick notes, just like anyone would write at an office and honestly, I would hate to know someone had to read my handwriting. 
Oh sure, I'm the CEO and I own a bank, and part of the
London Bridge, and all that good stuff. SHEESH! You all ask for some good things about the company, but through your crystal ball you see the future. I still say, go ahead and leave...you'll find out soon enough that all is not well with other companies. I know - I've BTDT. EVERY company has editing positions now - it's the next phase of transcription, but never ever will ALL transcription be done by this method. I will continue to transcribe with a POSITIVE attitude, while you and your "Current Transcender" buddy leave and live with a NEGATIVE attitude. Good luck to you!
