TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (Sept. 17, 2008) - InfraWare Inc., a medical transcription software company, announced today it will soon begin beta testing its new dictation recognition engine aimed at increasing the speed and reducing the cost per line of medical transcription through intelligent back-end automation.

The Indiana-based software developer and transcription ASP provider will marry its existing InfraWare 360 transcription speech recognition platform and its newly developed artificial intelligence engine to generate more accurate and less expensive first-draft text versions of physician audio dictations. Of the $1.2 million project budget, $871,000 was supplied by a grant from the state's 21st Century Research and Technology Fund.

The 21st Century Fund is a powerful tool aimed at assisting new and innovative companies like InfraWare bring cutting-edge technologies to the marketplace, said Governor Mitch Daniels.

The marriage of the company's two technologies accelerates the rate at which medical transcriptionists can process a physician's dictated reports and represents a significant increase in accuracy over previous attempts by the industry to incorporate speech recognition into transcription. The InfraWare technology incorporates a punctuation component that determines proper punctuation placement within the generated text, a feature not included in most word-processor-based programs.

InfraWare will begin releasing the software to test markets in the fourth quarter of 2008, and anticipates fully launching the product in 2009 to markets across the country. The company expects to create up to 100 new jobs over the next five years.

While InfraWare has been innovating since our beginning, this new advancement positions us to provide our customers with leading-edge technology that completely changes their cost structure, increases Transcriptionist productivity and decreases turnaround time, said Nick Mahurin, chief executive officer of InfraWare.

Traditionally medical transcriptionists produce written records of a physician's audio-recorded reports by typing the recording in its entirety. Past efforts within the industry to incorporate speech recognition technology have met poor results, as transcription is highly interpretive and many transcriptionists find it faster to type a report than to edit a poorly constructed first draft, Mahurin said.

Linguistics researchers from Indiana University assisted in the conceptual development of InfraWare's technology along with software engineers from the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology who assisted in developing the platform's software infrastructure. The Terre Haute Innovation Alliance, an economic development and education partnership between Indiana State University, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology and the City of Terre Haute provided consulting services to InfraWare, and associates from Indiana State University's Center for Business Support and Economic Innovation assisted InfraWare with grant procurement services.

We are pleased to be able to provide commercialization services to technologically innovative companies such as InfraWare that will bring high-paying jobs and investment to Terre Haute, said Richard Pittelkow, interim director of Indiana State University's Center for Business Support and Economic Innovation.

InfraWare is one of 58 businesses awarded a 21st Century Fund grant since January 2006. During that time, the fund has invested more than $74 million in high-tech Indiana entrepreneurial companies with the potential to create more than 6,000 new jobs.

Well, that threw me for a curve when I got the ipay notice, checked it out on ADP's site and it said for DEP adjustment???

I have'nt got the real check yet and did not know a letter was to accompany the check I was not expecting, so what is this for?

Bytescribe web side. I think there is a free one somewhere too. Very easy to use and kind of fun.

Yes, I am in the same situation with the same company.  They informed of my 9 cents rate and weekly pay.   That was two and a half weeks ago.  The work was definitely there and they constantly calling me to work.  I got suspicious the second day when they did not send me a 1099 and no other paperwork besides their MT scope letter which means nothing but what hours can you commit to.  Well, I felt it was too good to be true.  I really like the account too but they wanted to me email every 30 minutes the work so they could cut and paste the work into the system.  I was like how the system know if it was my work etc, etc.  By the grace and mercy of prayer I have a job with benefits now while I was only IC with DocuMed.

STATEMENT File No. 20070676. The following person(s) is(are) doing business as: FASTPHALANGES, 3850 Rio Road #40 Carmel, CA. 93923. SUSAN BARRIER 3850 Rio Road #40 Carmel, CA 93923. This business is conducted by an individual. Registrant commenced to transact business under the fictitious business name listed above on: March 7, 2007. (s) Susan Barrier.  This statement was filed with the County Clerk of Monterey County on March 16, 2007. Publication dates:  Mar. 30, Apr. 6, 13, 20, 2007 (PC 336)

I certainly would proceed with caution if I was anyone thinking of working there.  Fictitious, not for me!!  NO way, Jose!

The archives, I mean.  Alot of excellent people with good skills and success before and after Alltype were used and abused there.  Just trying to give you a heads up without going negative.  Watch your back and the best of luck to you.

I sent email to company Sat saying only 1 pay check was deposited.  Monday morning there was a Fed Ex envelop on door with check from new company - I am a newbie too.  This is my first pay check.  So far the people have been terrific.

I never had that problem with StatIQ.  The check that they mail on the 15th is from work invoiced from the 16th through the end of the previous month.  It is possible that you started there recently?  If you sent an invoice on the 1st, that should be the check that gets mailed on the 15th.  I just never had that problem when I worked there and thought maybe this could be what's going on. 

I started working for the Q a little over a year ago.  When I applied I authorized a BGC, but have no idea if they did one or not. 

I agree about not liking it on face value.  It seems to me in cases where an MT has many years of employment, once any co. verifies dates involved that should be good enough on the front end.  But what do I know?

Companies can check on anyone by paying for the program, etc.  It seems like it'd be standard for big companies (regardless of our opinions about it). 

If you want to be mad any anyone, steer it in the direction of our government (both sides).  Remember your last trip to the airport, where you (generic-looking American) got screened, while questionable people skated through?  How about the stories about LOLs in wheelchairs and nuns getting patted down.  It's all part of stripping away our freedoms, and both R&D are guilty.  Heck, had I known/realized MQ was shipping work to India at the time, I would've kept looking.  While I certainly don't like either, the India issue is far bigger to me.

I can do rigid scheduling and production for the 20 hours a week they require for part time ... hey, I might even be willing to work evenings for 20 hours a week ... hey, I'd be happy to transition to full-time after getting my feet wet ...

it's the 1200-1500 lines/8 hour shift requirements that I can have NO PROBLEM doing on a good day with familiar accounts and work available but which easily can stretch into 1200 lines/12 hours or more when work is unavailable or there are platform problems (why I left last employee status national gig) ...

Thanks for the tip ... . will check them out further!

S.

I had the same problem so the first thing I did was check my connection.  I did a download test from speakeasy.com and checked those numbers, which looked great.  I then went to start-run-type in cmd- and when it comes up type ping *space* www.google.com

Watch for the return.  You should see a time of 249 or less.  If you see more than that, contact your internet provider.  Mine was originally over 1500 and turns out my router was bad.  After you do this, if you show a good time, contact your tech department and have them check your computer.

Mine was so bad I could type and wait for it to appear on the screen.

If you go to www.manta.com, you can find out any company, their revenue, etc.  Can you guess what her MTs are paid? 

however, I couldn't find any information on them using that company name.

Maybe the bank its drawn on will pay it anyway.  Just try depositing it and see what happens.  The writer of the check might get a NSF fee, but the check may still be paid if she has been with the bank a long time.  Maybe she has an overdraft account that it will come out of.  Unless you have had trouble with these checks before I would just deposit it and see what happens.  Unless you live close to the bank and can go in person to see if you can cash it. 

Good luck. 

I have worked for them for over 2 years, and they have been the best company I have worked for.  I was shocked when you said they have a bad BBB rating, so I checked it for myself, and they have an A+ rating... maybe you picked the wrong state or something? I pasted from the BBB website below just in case...
