If they are out of NC, supposedly their software is very efficient.

In Reply to: They contacted me, I think from a resume I had posted - yes but don't know much

I have not worked there, but talked to them when they were trying to start up the company about 2 years ago.

Pay 8 cpl, use MTWorld software, sound quality supposedly not good. nm

VR was so efficient and my pay was so high I ...
but not at TT, different company. Jobs were eliminated due to VR coming online at a hospital.
VR not efficient? Need to check into a
good platform. The one I use is almost perfect. I do not think most will change back from VR to straight once it has been started. Probably will just want the MTers to work the bugs out.
It is not efficient, you are right. However, companies that are all virtual seem to have
I've been working from home for over 15 years. I would say you'll have to toughen up a bit and learn to be extremely watchful and promote yourself and your intentions more.

Unorganized? Maybe a bit.

Uncaring? What the heck do you want? LOL It's a job. They made a mistake. If you want caring, go find a little hole-in-the-wall 1-MT clinic where you can get to know everyone and work. Sounds like you're probably young or never have worked in the real world before.

Remember this about their mistakes: Mistakes happen and I'm betting YOU will make them, too. Do you want them blasting you for it? Do you want them to call you unorganized and uncaring? Do you want them to take the same impression of you as you are taking of them? I doubt it.


think the owner is very nice and efficient, however,
think some of her people have let some of us fall through the cracks.
Honest, efficient company, TransTech is.
That's been my experience (and I'd appreciate not being attacked by the bitter poster we often get here).

If you just want to sit at your desk and push out reports uninterrupted by nonsense and criticism, and get compensated fairly, with good benefits to boot, this is one company to do it at. No headaches.
give the work to the busiest & most efficient

What in your experience is the most efficient Word-based radiology platform to work on? nm

RE: What in your experience is the most efficient Word-based radiology platform to work on? nm
RadNet
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?
Anybody know anything about who SPI supposedly bought yet?
I really hope its not Medware.
I'm on TWS too. Supposedly yes for spaces.

Supposedly 5+ years but have you seen some
Unbelievable, and you would think they just started in the MT business.
The other person supposedly sm
owed the $12,000 was supposedly in India and she supposedly had been paid.  This is similar posting, same MTSO and a lot of money owed.  Strange.
these were supposedly large sm
companies that have been around awhile.  I am hearing a lot of MTs going through the same thing.  Its getting ridiculous!
when they didn't supposedly even know
yeah right. I don't believe anything they say, or that any promises will remain in effect for long, keep hearing: in the foreseeable future, at this time, as far as we know...they sold you down the river...why give them the glory of your presence and hard work. Say NO.
They are supposedly a Christian organization
sss
Supposedly this was not real patients - sm
Someone in authority checked and it was supposedly test patients that sounded very real.  I don't know for sure as I don't work there but this is what was said. 
Supposedly if you send anything to India you can't put an ad up for an MT BUT sm

Alltype sends everything after 8 p.m. EST to India to be done overnight and THEY are allowed to have an ad up here. 


Cornerstone in NJ, Zylomed, Transcend, TransTech, EFD are those that come immediately to mind, but that is just a couple compared to the fact that I know others would never send to India.


the normal standard supposedly is sm
1 minute of dictation equals 10 lines. Obviously if its a slow dictator then you make out really good. If its a really fast person, not so good. I worked on the minute basis for several years and did fine.

Given the climate of the way these companies don't want ot pay for spaces, headers, etc it might not be a bad deal anymore. I guess it depends on how fast it takes you to turn around the number of minutes you need to type.

Good luck!
Supposedly starts 10/06 and will continue
into the 3rd quarter of next year. I would hope they would let us know, at the very least, which accounts are going first and a time frame for the rest of this year.
If you search old posts, they supposedly don't pay much at all, even for experience. nm

I can't believe a supposedly professional adult said bite me! HA!!! sm
Now we ALL want to work for Proveros and get invited to bite the management woohoo!
Supposedly, editing would be faster than straight typing
and the VR would be ONLY for those doing editing. Not everyone will be doing editing (at Transcend).
Supposedly Spheris is sending reports out by specialty, SM
except don't expect the same rate of pay as MQ. With Spheris, or any other company where you must use their piece of ---- equipment, the line counts can be, shall we say, variable.

I really wish you luck. If you don't need benefits, try a smaller company. Put resume out there. Might get some hits.

Supposedly new upgrade for WordClient is compatible with Vista, per our mgmt.

We are about to do an upgrade, and they say it will be compatible with Vista with this new upgrade of WordClient.  Yipeeee


 


You are correct - also the millions CEOs took off the top for the Katrina supposedly home reimbursem
Well, I don't know I think it is the lobbying. We don't have lobbyists. With employment going up, mortgages defaulting, no one mentions in the news about all the US jobs going overseas causing this. I was so pro Hillary Clinton until I read about her being an advocate of outsourcing jobs and was overseas promoting it, I don't remember what country offhand - that broke my heart. Look back to before this president took office - you didn't hear of outsourcing to other countries or jobs going overseas, maybe I am wrong but if it brings lots of money to companies - they are certainly going to be hiring the lobbyists to keep it going.

I don't know why the new does not report what is happening - they seem to skirt the issue big time. Talk about unemployment and mortgage defaults by not the reason - we are all being replaced overseas. I guess if you can retire with millions of dollars in your pocket from stealing from the American people then it won't matter when the downfall happens to the rest of us.
do you have any certain software...sm


to do your own line count on, or is there some way to do it w/o any special software? I'd like to check mine out!


What software were you using? nm

Just that there software is

Software
Anyone know what software All Type uses?
Yes, you use their software that
incorporates your version of Word into, so you have all your auto correct, etc.
It's VR software.

I hated it at first but I've gotten used to it and hate typing the old way now.


software
Thanks.  Is extext the same as dictaphone extext?.  I will be working with a company shortly that uses dictaphone extext and someone had e-mailed me stating you can also use ShortHand if you like with dictaphone extext.  Could you please give me some information on where I can find ShortHand since it is something it sounds like I could use.  Thank you so much.  I would appreciate it!
Software
Chartnet at SPI/Cymed is the best platform I have ever worked on. I worked on ExText for many years before and Chartnet is more efficient. I think SPI bought the rights to it (not 100% on this) so I don't think any other companies have it.
what software
platform do they use? 
Everyone will have to use the same software?
I hope it is Editscript. It is the easiest to work on. At least the of ones I have used.
Do not pay for software
They are making the profit. I doubt very much that you are a principal or stockholder in the company. That being the case, why should you bear the financial burden. Again, don't enable this kind of bad behavior. There are plenty of honest and decent companies out there. This does not sound like it is one of them.
They have a software
and you have to use that software so it takes a lot of time. For every report you have to open up that software, search for the MT, search for other stuff and type the corrections in that form instead of on the report itself. That stuff gets sent to the MT. You get credit for only 15 lines for blanks no matter how many blanks there are.

The only time you get credit for the whole report is if you do a full listen and they are on full QA. Major ripoff.
No, just the software.
Email me if you want more info.

Software?
Perhaps they are getting ready to change software, platform, or make some changes with their programs. 
What is the best expansion software to use
I may be taking a position with them and need to know which program works.
Their software is downloadable
from the EmDat website.  They tell you that you need to pay for it and you should run fast.  I have heard that they are not wonderful or even remotely close to wonderful.
Escription software
Looking for companies that use this voice recognition software.  I think it's great and would love to find more work using that platform.  Thanks for any info!
Question about software...
I start for Medware later this week.  I am a rehire and before worked on Merit, but this time am working on the Dictaphone software.  Is this the same software that MQ used at one time?  For those who are employees now I would love to hear from you, please feel free to email me.  I am hoping I made the righ decision to go back, but I think I have.  I am just wondering what the difference is in the two platforms and if you get your line counts okay.  Thanks.
They have their own proprietary software...
very similar to MS Word. Easy to use. Disregard the person's post about 8.5 cpl for 1400 lpd - should get facts from the recruiter about pay and benefits. If you want to ask any more questions, I would be happy to e-mail you.
They use DOS-based software sm
Medtype and Medrite. Nothing done in Word. All DOS-even email. Use PC anywhere for file transfer over phone line. 6 cents per line to start. QA 98-100 is very difficult to get and maintain. They supply equipment.
Not at all. I have 3 different types of software and
all three use a wave pedal. Two of them use USB and the other a 15-pin, and there is no conflict in the programming of each one.
software is SLOOOOOOOOOW
They are a nice bunch of people and the benefits were good, but I could rarely make their line count requirement because their
