I have dial-up and make money. I download my work and I can start transcribing
as soon as the first report has downloaded. Once I download I disconnect, do my work, then connect and send my completed work. I usually start my download in the morning then go take my shower, feed all the animals, grab myself something to drink and I'm ready to go. Once the work is downloaded what type of connection you have doesn't matter.
Sure it is safe to post your resume on the net, provided it is a reputable site. I would not just post it anywhere, but post it on the job boards here and other reputable sites. Most sites have some type of safeguards in place so that you have to have registered with the site and/or paid a usage fee to view information like addresses and phone numbers, so that not just anyone can view the information.
Another option may be an account that has C-phone or similar accounts, where you aren't downloading, but dialing directly into the system.
What companies allow dial-up? or C-phones and dial-up?
 I do not have (and can't get) cable or high speed internet. Satellite is available but way too expensive to get if you are not working! I just wanna get a job....
DQS Download - sm
From what I understand, we are to just log in and it will prompt us to download the update....so just follow the instructions. 
Download the Demos first and try them out...
FlashType:
http://www.MTStars.com/FlashType
Shorthand:
http://pcshorthand.com/
They download 1 job at a time.

Thank you for responding! Do we buy it or download it?

They use Chartscript and DVI to download
work. You can work in Word or WP5.1, at least for now.
if from PCshorthand.com, should be okay to download.
nm
KS uses Shorthand. You can download
a free trial from their website and KS may give you a license key so you don't have to pay for it. Meditech is horrible, but I typed in Word and then copy/pasted into MediTech. I know lots of MTs who do the same thing.
What do ya'll think about that download
Now my computer is acting funny.
I'm sorry, but I usually download 3 jobs to start, then...sm
as I complete one, another one begins to download, so essentially I have 3 jobs downloaded most of the time, except for right now, which I have NONE!!!
Tried to e-mail but it bounced. You download from
a secure site, usually via an FTP site that your company has setup. You download to a folder on your hard drive, the same as if you were downloading music or a program. You then use a foot pedal connected to your computer that is compatible with the software program to play the files. There are still lots of companies who for some reason have not converted to digital files though, or require you to be type into their system live.
usually, for the online tests, you can download...
the voice file into a file on your computer, then download into Express Scribe player (free online), so you can use your foot pedal instead of the keyboard.
Using FTP download/upload Transfer (sm)
If a company uses FTP download/upload transfer method does that pretty much mean whatever is downloaded to you it has to be done at the end of the day and if you desire extra work you have to ask for it to be downloaded? I prefer to sign on and get work without having to call the office and ask. Would appreciate any info.
That would be when you first log on, after that they download while typing. No wait.

Not really...I know you can download Emdat off the internet sm
(just Google it) but I don't think you can get in without a password. I've never used it and I have only worked at MQ, also. I'm a little discouraged, as I am very anxious to move away from MQ and haven't heard anything. How much experience do you have?
I AM happy for you, though. It has to be better than the Q right now.
I think it's a free trial download, then $99.00
xx
You can download a free 30 day trial and KS may
be able to give you a license # so you don't need to purchase it.
I don't know if you can convert Meditech, but you can convert other Expanders to be used in ShortHand.
You can uninstall SP3 and then block the download sm
The removal part is under the same section of the control panel where you uninstall programs. I think you have to click something at the top that says to show updates, then scroll through to find the update. I could not connect to the VPN my company uses when I downloaded SP3 and had to uninstall it. I also downloaded a tool from Microsoft that blocks the auto-update feature for SP3 for a year. If MS is offering a tool to block it, then you know there have to be problems with it. Here's the link if anyone wants it.

I did download express scribe but sm
I may be doing something wrong. I can't open this file in anything but windows media and it goes directly to windows media. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?
BTW, why did you leave and do they pay on time?
Thanks
Download the latest version of
Adobe Reader 9.1, it's free.
If the questionnaire you have to fill out, is given by the company, ask them what's wrong.
you can download typewriter/keyboard sm
sounds for free from the internet. I had to do that because it also helps me by hearing the typos. You can turn the sounds of the keyboard up or down but it doesn't affect the sound of your dictator. I think its called Sound Pilot.
The download speed is not consistent, can be as slow as
dial-up at times. I had it for a year so I know. Satellite is also not secure, so if company is 100% compliant with HIPAA satellite would not be allowed.
I had lots of problems with my satellite, though I was never without for more than a day. Customer service was the absolute pits. They have since updated some of their equipment that is suppposed to eliminate some of the issues.
Download Crap Cleaner free
Great program and has uninstall program for free. Make sure you uncheck the MS Word box cleaner or it will get rid of your normal settings. Otherwise, best free program ever.

Download Express Scribe.....it's free
xx
DocShuttle/Bytescribe has a free download
nm
You can download a free trial version of (sm)
Slycount. I have used it for a long time and find that it is very accurate.
Can you download Express Scribe and play the file thru there? nm
s
Are there any companies that I would download voice files and then send back but would be able to
transcribe on the move so I can travel but not use all my vacation time? I wish I had paid attention earlier this year..but I didn't know I'd ever be in the position to need to do this.
Anybody know of any good line counting software that is free to download?
TIA
It was a test for a company and I have no clue if you had to download drivers. I would not care to
do that to take a test.
If you have an Infinity pedal, you can pull the files in thru Express Scribe, (free download) and

PT with dial up
I work for Transolutions, and the do use dial-up and I believe they do PT also. I am FT, so I am not sure about PT. Also, Spheris also uses dial-up and has PT and also supplies all the equipment you need.
Don't know about dial-up
They do pay for spaces, and pay a higher rate than anyone else I'v encountered. They employ all ICs only - but make sure to keep after them. I've accepted a position, have filled out my paperwork but now am getting nervous because I can't get anyone to call me back or respond to my e-mails.
I don't know about dial-up. (sm)
I kind of think you'd need DSL. If you can get it, it'd probably be worth it. You're working real-time online like with lots of other companies. It'll help your production.
Spaces - I think so, but I'm not sure.
IC only.
I believe they still are on dial up sm
Last I knew they paid for your second phone line.
Dial-up
DRC, Transolutions, and Spheris. I don't know if I would recommend working in Spheris' system with dialup though - that's the main reason I quit there. 
Dial-up
Medquist allows dial-up as I worked for them and used dialup before. I believe also Precyse Solutions also allows dial-up.
Dial-up
Yes, Precyse does allow dial-up.
Dial up
I do not have access to high speed internet. I am looking for part time work that can be done on dial up. I have 15 years experience and am home based for our local hospital. Does anyone have any suggestions on companies that still use dial up, and hire part time? Thanks in advance. 
Dial up
Might also want to try FutureNet or QT Medical as they offer dial-up options as well.
Dial up
A new job was just posted on the job seekers board under Cardiology-Kelly. Drop a resume with a note that you're strictly dial up. I posted this job, and we can use dial-up or high speed.
Dial-up?-sm
Does anyone still work using a dial-up connection? We are facing a move in a couple of weeks and it has come to my attention that I may not be able to get high-speed in our new home. My only options may be dial-up or satellite through Wild Blue. Are their companies out there that are still using dial-up? I really love the company I am working for as an employee right now but I would go back to IC if I had to. Thanks for your help!
dial-up
I have used dial-up and also used internet for MDI-Florida.
Very good company. Pay 10 cpl for Meditech experience.
If you are on dial-up with TT...
and willing to answer a couple of questions, could you e-mail me?? thanks!
dial up
I also would be interested in finding out any companies that allow dial-up. Thanks!
Dial-Up and VR
You really need something high speed to work with the VR.
KS and dial-up
If you have DSL or cable, you'll be okay at KS. If you only have access to dial-up, they have almost no accounts. I know most people have DSL/cable, but there are still a few of us that can't get it. I've been with KS for about 6 months and will now have to look for another job because of this.
dial-up only
I was just hired by KS in December and was told that dial-up would be okay.
I do not think dial up
or satellite can be used.
Are there any companies out there that still use dial up?
I only have dial up and there are no plans to add DSL in the area that I live in for at least another year possibly two. Satellite is out of the question due to too many trees around. I live in the woods and believe me its hard to get a clear view on the satellite dish we have now.
If anyone knows of a company that still uses dial up please let me know.
Thanks
