You know, you do not have to respond to these posts if you find them annoying!
What are you, the post police? If these posts annoy you so much, why do you feel a responsibility to respond? **I'm telling**?? Control issues maybe? No one is making you read them or participate you know.
Sounds like FutureNet
LOL
Sounds like FutureNet and the Emails are annoyingt
Congrats! Sounds Ideal. Hope I find something just like what you did. NM.
That was annoying to me.
Too many emails, too many documents. Just leave me alone and let me do my job. I only need to know about QA feedback. The rest of it is a time stealer.
Other companies use instant messaging, but I'd rather do my own research than rely on someone else. I don't mean that as an insult. I think it's great that people help each other out and share information. I've been burned by it, though.
BUT did you PAY her, annoying or not
you should pay your workers
annoying
What things do you find annoying when transcribing (ex. docs spelling out wrong words, telling you where to put commas)?
What's annoying about it is (sm)
My company gave us what she would probably consider a cheesy gift. I don't consider it cheesy, and I love the company I work for, whether they give us a bonus or not. I can't stand braggarts. It's low class.

Fun with Annoying Callers!
I've got a plan for those annoying telemarketers, and bill collector calls that we all hate getting. Actually, I have several schpiels I use randomly for my own amusement, but this was one of my favorites.
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiing. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiing.
Hello. I said answering the phone.
Hi. My name is Mitzi and I'm calling on behalf of the Disabled Fish of America. We are an organization for Crippled, Finless Fish who have ick disease. We would like to know if we can count on your support for a donation?
B 9.
What was that? She asked.
I said, Bee NINE.
Ma'am did you hear what I said? It's not a benign condition, seriously ick is a deadly condition and these fish are finless.
Yes, I heard you. Eye Two Seven.
I'm sorry what did you say?
I-27. Now, try to pay attention.
What are you talking about? She said.
N Fourty Five.
Is this 555-1212?
Yes it is. Please ma'am, don't interrupt me. G Fifty Eight.
Gee what?
G-FIVE EIGHT.
You are crazy.
O-80.
Ate who? She asked.
I said, 0-Eight Zero.
Oh, this is such bull!
Bingo! Hold your cards people, we have a winner!!
&$*# \%*((?#! She said.
Thanks you for playing. Better luck next time!
Annoying our former company------

Very stupid and very annoying - ARE YOU FOR REAL - sm
It is Diskriter's equipment. What if you go onto a website that is not related to work, and it ends up infecting THEIR computer with a virus? Did you ever think of that?? Did you ever think about how long you would be out of work because of it? It's not that they are being nosy, it is more or less for your protection and their protection. What if your kids or partner get on the computer and play around and go onto sites that bring on a virus. How would you feel about not being able to work for a few days while the computer is being repaired?
There is nothing annoying or stupid about it. Just think about it!
Why on earth would you call it annoying?!
I'd call it being tenacious and knowing exactly and getting exactly what you want. I'd go full on balls-to-the-wall! Are you a mouse or an MT?!
 (This is so not right, but it's the only warrior image I could find!)
Then why keep b*tching about it? you guys are annoying. sm
Either IMPROVE YOUR SITUATION BY GOING WHERE THERE IS WORK or shut up about it. It's simple.
I agree-team mail is very annoying
I had to keep mine turned off--too distracting...
Yeah, Instant Messenger is very annoying
I would go crazy too. Thanks!
Annoying, Condescending, Uppity Snakes in Suits
Dont you just love how these offices screw around with your income. It is very annoying and I
sometimes wonder if they get the full implication of what they are doing to our paychecks because they are stupid enough to believe you can do all hospitals exactly the same which of course you cant.
Did find a Wright Watson Sten-Tel in Austin if their site isn't old. Find 'em with Google. nm

Trying to find info on Encompass on this board, can't find any recent. sm
Anyone have any current info. Any employees out there? Give me the low-down if you can! Thanks a million.
sure sounds swell. Sounds like 2350 ln/day @ 4 cents/ln=$90./day
in order to figure how many line needs to be produced to make $500 per pay period. ie, how many lines an hour needed per 8 hour day --at your rate.
So say $450 a week would be $90 a day.
For example, if making 4 cents a line,need 2,250 lines a day, 281 an HOUR (to listen through and edit) to make this great wage of $90. a day FOR ALL THIS SAME SKILL, TO KEEP UPDATED WITH CHANGING MEDICAL COMMUNITY. nope Better at Jack-in-Box Pass it up.
Sounds like it and it sounds like you must tell them when they will be and no change them. Wonder
what you do when there is no work. Well, there will be a lot of problems with this whole plan if they dont get things straightened out with this no work situation.
Futurenet...sm
Do any of you know of any MTSOs using Futurenet software...iType, iPlayer, iSeries, iText?
Futurenet uses it.

Futurenet
Can you work out of your home for Futurenet? They are located in Monrovia, arent they? I think they used to be in the same industrial office area as MQ.
futurenet
TONS of ESL, but pay is excellent and they have weekend & holiday bonuses that are very good! Very flexible and easy to work with.
FutureNet
Thanks for the info. I was offered a position with them today. The account that they told me I would be doing I know has a lot of ESLs. I am debating whether to take the job or not. Anyone heard of HPI (Health Information Partners)? It seems like a good company. Thanks again for the valuable info! Have a great Xmas.
FutureNet
Has anyone heard anything about this company - good, bad or ugly?
FutureNet
Terrific company, excellent pay, office staff,QA and Tech Support great. Other than no benefits, company extremely hard to beat
FutureNet
We've definitely had different experiences with the company. I've typed for them as an IC for about 2 years - guess I've gotten used to the account and dictators. Some are still bad but for the most part, they're ok. Quite a while ago they did have a gal in the office that was hateful but she's been gone for a while now, and I've found the rest of the crew to be terrific. Sorry you had a bad one with them, though. It is so hard to find a decent company; feel I found it with FN but went through a lot of companies until I did.
FUTURENET
Please let me know if you know anything about this company. How is the staff, etc.? Thanks!
FutureNet
It is a terrific company, friendly group. Typing platform is one of the easiest I have ever typed. Have worked for several companies and highly recommend this one.
FutureNet
Anybody working for FutureNet? Any info, good or bad?
futurenet
I have been with FutureNet for about 3 months now...after leaving Medquist...had been with Your Office Genie before MQ took over...15 years total. What you have at FN is a good portion of the old staff that was at the Monrovia office of YOG/MQ. I find them great to work with and have enough work and so far no problems..but then I have known most of them for years...mtgal847
FutureNet
What do you have to do to be SE with them? nm
Futurenet QA
How is QA at Futurenet? Do they dock for blanks, follow strict BOS or client specifics, quibble over commas, etc?
TIA!
FutureNet
Great company, great pay, direct deposit if line requirements are met and a lot of ESL dictators
FutureNet
Does anyone out there know what transcription program FutureNet uses and how difficult it is to learn? Just finished my shift at MQ and am exhausted from DQS...Thanks!
FutureNet
They use a word-based program called iType for some accounts, but I believe they use something else for another (which I'm not familiar with). I use iType on my accounts, and I found it very easy to learn. Hope this helps!
Futurenet
I just interviewed with them and saw some posts asking questions. I did my homework and asked a ton of questions based on experiences with other companies and some things I saw here. They were perfectly willing to answer them in detail and were very frank about the accounts and the difficulty, etc. Some places try to skate around the real answer, and that is not what I got here. I don't start until later this week, but I just wanted to let anyone considering know that they had no problem with questions that other companies sometimes act like they don't know or just don't want to answer, and believe me, I had a list!!
Futurenet
Anyone know what's going on at Futurenet? Really good people to work for but now usually running out of work or NO work. Heard they hired a bunch of MTs from MQ. It sure feels like MQ. Work o.k. between paydays and when payday gets close, the sharks who don't work other times decide to come in take all the work from those of us who stick to our shifts and are there all the time. I'm sick of companies like this and I'm really disappointed. Looking for PT work to fill in. I have a certain amount I have to make each day and now instead of doing it in 8-9 hours, I'm working around the clock and 7 days a week because of this. I'm sick of it. You would think management would look at who is there day in and day out, or at least cut out PT when there is no work available for FT. Oh, well - just sign me blue
FutureNet
I'm with you. I have been at this for 6 years and met my financial goal this last month. Now, am running out of work every day it seems. The thought of going to a new company is dismal because it takes me about 2 months to get up to speed on the learning curve. It is so very discouraging. I am ready to look for a new vocation if I could only think of one!
What is going on with Futurenet now? sm
Is work still low? Have they lost or gained any new accounts? Any changes? Curious about future employment.
FutureNet
Unfortunately, the work flow is still low.
FutureNet
I work for them, and they have 550 jobs this evening! Something must be wrong. Even though they have work today, lots of times, they are out!! I use for backup only.
FUTURENET
First of all, the majority of the management at FutureNet are former Your Office Genie/Medquist employees and I have worked with them for the last 15 yrs at YOG/MQ. They are great to work with...I always have enough work...and get QA backup whenever I ask for it..if you do not get an answer from the first person you talk to, there are other people to talk to there. Just keep trying. As far as work and workers are concerned, it was emailed out that the work was there but not many MTs were working their promised schedule and they were told they would have to hire more MTs to cover the work...so that is what is happening...it is a very good company to work for.
Futurenet does not. nm
Futurenet
Does anyone out there know how Futurenet counts lines? Do they pay for spaces? Thanks.
FUTURENET SM
Salutations, group. I am seeking information from someone who has or does work for FutureNet. Is this a good company? What about specialities or acute care? I am trying to gather enough information to make an informed choice whether to apply with them or not. Having had some poor experiences in the past, but willing to give another company a try, I would like as much info as possible - both ways - before I spend valuable time applying, testing, interviewing, etc. After reading this board and the other one, it seems that there are more bad companies than good. Also, I am applying for a radiology position where the work is done on-site. Can anyone tell me the going rate for in-house transcriptionists? Line? Hour? I haven't worked in-house in a long time and am totally out of that loop.
FutureNet?
Any current info on FutureNet? I know there have been past posts on them but just wondered what the current situation is like there. Any input appreciated! Thanks!
Futurenet. sm
They have converted 99% of their accounts to the word based program. I believe there are several Expanders that work with their program. As far as their so-called connection to YOG, well OF COURSE THERE IS! Tom Liu, who owns Futurenet, worked for Carole for years and designed and maintained the Cottage program software. When he started his own business, other than maintaining the software, they had no connection and they have no connection now. Good riddance to Carole, I say.
