you need to be connected to upload them to your computer and connected to transmit them back. I do not think you need to be connected while you are working. You can download in batches of 5 or whatever number they authorize you for, disconnect from the net, transcribe, then re-connect and transmit.
is this the info you needed?

What programs are you all using?

programs
I've always had to remove them myself. Go into your Control Panel off your start button and click on Add/Remove Programs and you can find what you need to remove. It will walk you through uninstalling. If you have icons on your desktop you can just right click and delete those but it won't remove the program unless you go into Control Panel.
TT has 2 different VR programs
I don't do VR but maybe someone else can help you with this.
Mentoring Programs can be
awful experiences, depending on which company you work for. My past experience was with Heartland and the mentoring program there was obnoxious with a capital O. I had to leave because of family issues, and I learned nothing while in the mentoring program. My general knowledge of the MT field, what I learned through general life experience or through MT training, certainly NOT from the mentoring program, is what kept me at the job. Had I had to rely soley on the mentoring program at Heartland, I would have been one of the many in my group that I just recently learned were hastily fired now that the company is changing hands. In your own situation, don't feel too bad if the company you applied to doesn't get in touch with you as soon as you had hoped or at all. The universe is sending you a message. Try, try again and NEVER give up.
Mentoring Programs
OSi has an excellent program for "newbies." You can apply through their website, http://www.ositranscription.com, being sure to include your school and certificate information.
If I'm not mistaken, Spheris has a similar program, as well. You might want to check with them. http://www.spheris.com
Best of luck to you!
switching from old programs
I posted this theory on the main board a couple of weeks ago. I read in the court papers for a lawsuit from a hospital that Medrite (specifically) had been inflating lines. It's an allegation, not proven, but if it's true, that means that transcriptionists on old programs such as Medrite are now experiencing a decrease in DQS because they were getting inflated lines before but no longer. I worked on MTs before and have noticed an increase in productivity on DQS. My MTS came out to a 65 cpl count, as does DQS (spaces included on both). Has anyone experienced a decrease in line count moving from MTS? So far I just hear people complaining who came from Medrite or cottage.
Transhealth programs and IT
I am thinking about buying IT to use, sounds like it is a great program. My question is does anyone that works for Transhealth and uses Chartmatrix use IT? How does it work? Thanks.
Yes, they are very similar programs
I have both WordPerfect 10 and Word 2003 on my computer.
Are there any other shortcut programs out there (sm)
besides Shorthand? I just wondered if there were any others so I could check out their programs and prices. I downloaded ShortHand and it's pretty good but just want to know if there are more programs out there. Thanks!
MT mentoring programs (employment)
Hi,
Can someone tell me if or what they know about MT mentoring programs? I'm being considered for a couple through well-known companies that were actually referred to me. Then I heard from someone else that you have to be cautious because someone they knew wasn’t paid. I've been looking for a job a long time now and I was almost hired. It fell through because they couldn't hire after all. Like I said, I'm waiting on some feedback from a couple of mentoring programs but it will be in January. The last few weeks I've had to put MT employment searching on hold because of the upcoming holidays; Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc. I would appreciate any feedback on this thanks.

MT mentoring programs (employment)
Brenda, Thank you for the advice. All I want is training from a legitimate and accredited school and to work for a legitimate company? Is that to much to ask?
line counting programs
I know abacus is free to download, but I have found that it is inconsistent with its counting abilities in my own experiences. I believe this site, MTStars has a line counting program available too, but I do not know if it is free. I don't know anything about wtd. lines. best of luck.
I think they use different programs, very confusing and disorganized
nm
Now that's helpful! I wonder if that's true for other programs?

Vista is not compatible with many programs out there yet. (sm)
From what I hear, Vista and MOST transcription platforms are not compatible.
There are better MT education programs out there (M-Tec and Andrews) but
CS does have segment of their program that Spheris is involved with. However, my understanding is starting pay for newbies at Spheris is low, even by today's standards.
My suggestion would be to check out other schooling options and other companies to work for before taking the leap. Do some searching of the archives here for more info both on schools and employers. (Also, you should be aware that CS has an affiliate program where people make money by getting others to sign up for their course so you may want to take any rave reviews with a grain of salt.)
line counting programs
If the line count in a particular platform, for example ExText, is compared to MS Word count where the total word count is divided by 65, shouldn't the count be about the same?
line counting programs
In this case, the count in ExText is way below that of MS Word for the same reports. I don't have another line counting program to go by but wouldn't you think from this that something isn't quite right?
Check out MT courses/programs (nm)

I've tried to open it with all these programs?
What companies offer internship programs?
 Please post. TIA
Good programs can be run on faulty servers
.
I think all those programs can be tweaked. Did it say in your contract how the lines would be
s
A lot of programs with their program. Not user friendly.
nm
This only pertains to federal health programs
Like VA. It says if the MTSO is paid with federal money, then they are subject to all these things.
They are changing line count programs, not platform.

If the tech doesn't know his stuff, it won't work. Programs like 123
you can have another tower set up for the new account to go on and use a KVM switch between your machines. You keep the single monitor and keyboard and hit a few keys when you need to switch back and forth to work or check the email, etc. Good luck! nm
Wasnt that software awful. Quit after one day. Too many programs to open before you could even do
a single report..What a waste of time.. too bad though. They seemed to be a really nice company to work for, but there was no way I was taking half the day to do two reports. NO WAY>>>
I love working on Meditech. I find it faster than other programs. It really does sm
depend on the account, the version, your connection, etc. There is not a lot of donated time in my opinion. I type upwards of 3000 lines per day (65 character count, not gross) and only work 8 hours. The spellcheck is medical on the account I am on. I use my Expanders for everything. Most of us on the account I am on do over 1500 lines a day, so maybe different accounts are set up different at the actual hospital. I have never lost a report in the middle, although I read that a lot here. I have been working on it for over 3 years.
eMTS uses several different software programs depending on the client, including CareFlow and

It does work, you do not need to "make" it work.. it works in all word based programs.

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
