MDI-FL but not all accounts. Only the internet-based ones. C-phone accounts are fine.

So, yes, let me clarify before everyone gets in an uproar.. There is work IF you want to use a C-phone. IF you signed up for an account that is internet-based, you will be disappointed. Not enough work to go around. Just my personal preference.. I have no desire to do a dial-up C-phone account using my long distance.

Do you have to use a C-phone for their accounts or are they web-based yet? nm
,
They do have some internet accounts
and some require C-phone or Lanier. When they hire, obviously they hire for whatever account they need someone to work on.
They have some internet accounts...
That is my main account and there is no work at all this morning. Seems like what I feared all along...overhiring!!
internet accounts
Yes, they have some internet accounts, but not many, and they hire for specific accounts that need help, which may or may not be an internet account at that time.
Do you need a Cphone and your own LD for all accounts or do they have any internet accts.? nm
s
I work strictly through internet; they have some accounts
that you work off phone lines but not many. If offered a position, state you only want internet work and nothing to do with phone lines.
Just be flexible with your work types and accounts and you should be fine.
nm
You obviously know nothing about the owner or the company. Many accounts are going to internet base
Long distance is not a big deal with digital connections.
C-phone accounts
It's not that new hires get put on C-phone accounts more because they are less desirable or lower on the totem pole, it's just that most MDI accounts ARE C-phone accounts. They have relatively few internet accounts.
They have non-C-phone accounts also (nm)
Dont you have to pay for internet and long distance charges from them because most of their accounts
are not on the internet. I think this is the company.
Yes, but their internet accounts at the moment are high volume ESLs nm

Some accounts require a C-phone or
whatever and use phone lines.
They have several C-phone accounts. They may loan
you one if you don't have one.
I worked on 3 C-phone accounts.
Two of them were very involved, less than 50% ESL, but they were Meditech accounts. Meditech is a horrible platform. I posted more info above on your other post from today.
C-phone accounts have tons of work
but you have to have unlimited long distance
My C-phone accounts are begging for extra
I have 2 and every day this week they have been extremely full and begging for the MTs to work extra. It's too bad the accounts are uneven like this.
There were different accounts on that job posting, some required C-Phone and others did not..(sm)
Also, there were 2 or 3 different platforms so it's more than one account.
because C-phone accounts are cumbersome...and assigned
nm
C-phone accounts aren't any better, not enough work to make line counts there either. Sigh
nm
Are they losing accounts. Do most of their accounts stay for long period of time. I have
heard pros and cons about the quality of their work. I guess it is much cheaper than other companies can offer.
Because the girls that monitor the accounts in the office were told the accounts either go on DQS or
move on. All accounts to be with MQ must be on DQS and no more different platforms. ONE ONLY DQS. They can send more work overseas then.
Some do and have good accounts and fully loaded ESL accounts
Take a look at what is happening in India. For the first time, workers there have money to get themselves into debt by buying high priced items (cars for example). They now protest lower castes being allowed into universities at almost double the previous allowance. Wait until they are highly in debt, begin to feel entitled to a wage equal to that paid inthe US and then, try to form unions, get tossed out into the street and sit back with some Ben and Jerry ice cream and watch the economy collapse and all that dictation come back across the ocean. Timing is everything.
Find out which accounts they are hiring for. They have some ESL accounts that are extremely
difficult to do. I dont know how many accounts they have altogether but as I say, a few are very difficult and I actually dont have a problem with ESLs but these accounts are almost totally ESL. I dont do them anymore.
Well it sounds like no work happens a lot at DSG. How are the accounts as far as decent accounts
and their QA.
Different accounts have different platforms. Most accounts require sm
high speed but I am not sure if satellite is OK.
I don't think that they're hiring right now. I spoke with my lead on Thursday, who said they are focusing on making sure everyone has enough work and moving PTers to FT, eventually moving towards FT only with only weekends as PT. Not 100% sure when that is though.
Hmm..well it goes to show how different it can be between accounts. My "high" ESL accounts s
at WMX are pretty easy in my opinion as well. I wish I had a better answer for you. Hang in there if you can. You have to do what is right for you.
I don't have a second phone line ... cable modem for the internet, regular line for my C-phone.
If anyone wanst to get through to me while I'm working, they have my cell phone number.
And, as I said, some accounts are using wav files -- no doubt soon all of the accounts will convert. Hope so ... would make it easier (less expensive) to work when traveling. :-)
Lots of good companies out there -- hope you find one that fits :)
only want internet based too. nm

Internet based companies?
I'm probably grasping at straws here, but can anyone suggest any really good companies that are hiring for internet based work? IC or employee, it doesn't matter! I'm currently working with DVI and not really happy with it. I would much rather stick with the internet based companies. 
I use DVI and am internet-based. Look on the job boards to
see what equipment requirements are. Post your resume on the job board.
Is Escription internet based?
In other words don't the records reside on a database on the internet? Or am I mistaken?
Is it an internet-based platform or VR? What is wrong with it?
nm
MDI-MD is internet based for typing, and I am pretty sure they will be going to sm
wav files soon. I received a wav pedal in the mail in case the system goes down, plus I know that Bayscribe is going to be set up that way. But for now, I still have my C-phone
You can try requesting an internet-based account
If they have any openings on any internet-based accounts, they may be able to put you on one of those. My primary account is internet-based, and I requested that my secondary account be internet-based as well, which was no problem at all.
Vonage works just fine with my C-phone
and Lanier. I have had it over a year now and have had no problems at all.
any company bayscribe internet based program?
?
If they say internet-based ASP, is that just the platform, or is it voice recog? nm
xx
Is this a C-phone or internet account? nm
nm
What is the ratio of C-phone to internet
nm
sound quality fine here, maybe it depends on your phone co. (nm)
x
yes, I use Lanier with my cable phone just fine (I don't have Roadrunner)
x
Can anyone tell me who a really good SE company is that is solely internet based and are nice to
work for with decent accounts. Thanks much.
They have Scribe and Allscripts for Ortho. Both are internet based and easy to use. sm
I should mention that I do not know if those are the only two, but I think they are the majority of the accounts.
I was very interested in them but I would have to use the C phone and I would rather stay internet
based and not go back to C phones and long distance charges. Sounds like a nice company though but not for me right now.
Is this all Internet dictation and no phone line? NM
NM
Patience, is your account internet or c-phone? nm
nm
Is Apex an internet word-based platform? Havent heard of it...
x

.

nm
Six accounts?!?! That is nuts! I am on 3 accounts. nm
