Do provide computer if needed, but nm

That is precisely why when I needed a new computer
I had one custom-built by an American guy, a neighbor, who speaks English as his first language, is a superb tech, and does not believe in offshoring, either.
Will TransTech supply a computer if needed?
Also, who is the pay at Transtech and how often are you paid?
I was told when they needed help and that is when they expected me to work
so it is possible she was told what days and times, as that is pretty much what they said to me. Then work was never available during that time slot and so I opted to move on.
I was told needed special foot pedal for Transnet,

computer does what it is told...
I used to do QA on the DQS system. The system can be programed to count characters every way you can think of. With a single click they can set it up where periods count 20 or 0, and the same for every other character or number on the keyboard. It can be set up to chart extra for bold type, caps, you name it. Just FYI, it is all in the programming and not particular to MQ or any other company.
I was told when I applied that if you need a computer KS will supply you with one, you then make pay
until it is paid off! Not a bad deal, and a good way to get a new computer.
Newbie bud was told 1200 lpd, THEIR computer, low pay. Poor communication from the start. nm

Well, when I purchased my computer tech support told me Vista would not work...sm
They said that it would work but it would cause a lot of problems because of the way the hot keys are setup on the Vista. They advised me against getting a computer with Vista. So it was very hard for me to find a computer that did not have Vista this year because everything had switched over. I bought a used one!!!! Just so I could avoid problems with my work.
I don't know if this helps or not. Just letting you know what I was told. Good luck!
Has anyone worked for the Word Pros on an as-needed basis? Thanks. NM
Anyone with info on The Word Pros or anyone who has worked on an as-needed basis? NM

I have worked 3 jobs at one time on the same computer....sm
By luck 2 were using Dictaphone Word Client and the other was a Word-based program that did not conflict with Word Client. I just had to manually change the server info for the Word Client jobs, but everything worked together just fine. I was thinking of switching to a different company, but their VPN fought with the VPN I had to use for the one company, so not able to switch, but it can be done, if all the software will work together. I also have put a mobile hard drive rack in my computer and have 2 hard drives, so I could put one company software on the one hard drive and the other company on the other, it is a pain, but that works also. What really works the best is 2 computers and a switch box, but most companies are not sending computers any more, so that may not be an option. Good luck.
When I worked there, they had a guy in QA, I told him I did something sm
according to the AAMT Book of Style, and his reply was I'm not familiar with that publication ... LOL
When I worked at a hospital we were told
that if stupid mistakes continued from using expanders, we would not be allowed to use them. That is probably the problem, too many mistakes.
When Transcend bought the company I worked for we were told they did not do IC, just PT/FT... sm
so this is news to me! Maybe they allow different things for different companies they buy. I also understood a little while after the merger that all accounts would move over to their platforms, but now I am reading that maybe not all of them did with other mergers. I am sorry you all are going through this! I remember how it was thrown on us so quickly too.
When I asked about line count, was told they were working on getting that available but I worked
+
I worked for a different company using Vianeta and could never access line counts. Was also told it
:+
I worked for Keystrokes a few years back. There were some problems but was told they were working on
I had heard that before, too many times to count, so I left.
I came back 2 years ago and it was like night and day.
All of the old problems are gone. They blamed them on growing pains and never denied them. Instead they fixed them. They have my vote!
I wanted to use my own computer and get rid of the RENT on TT computer, but Vista is not compatible.
Good way to make them money. Not have to upgrade software so that Vista is compatible with Vista. Huh?
One more computer question. I got my computer today and
trying to set it up. Man unpacking the box and setting everything up is a major undertaking; more so for me because I used a laptop before and my desk isn't tower friendly. Anyway, no info came with the tower and I don't yet have the password to get in (paperwork says to call M-F). Is the tower WiFi compatible? My DSL is hooked to a different computer and I wanted to know if I can setup new computer as WiFi or if I need to move modem to new computer and set other computer up as WiFi.
I don't hesitate to ask. Have been told "yes", and have been told "no." Never been to
:+
Oh man....I needed that!!!!
LOL
Thanks! I needed a hug!
I feel better today. I just cannot re-take that test though. After that experience, I refuse to test on any tests which have the entire test on one web page, including the download and transcribing of files onto the same page. It is too risky that the page could disappear. Live and learn I guess.
This MT testing is so grueling I will be glad when it is over! Thanks for letting me vent!
we will always be needed....nm

we will always be needed...
That is my opinion also. I'm not worried about VR overtaking my job as a transcriptionist. I do believe I will eventually be trained to edit speech reports. But I also believe there will always be a pretty good percentage of dictation that will remain non-speech and that experienced MTs will always be needed. We are liked more by a lot of docs than some VR system, and I don't believe the majority of docs dictating want their work going overseas if it can be done better HERE.
Just what I needed
Thanks so much for your post. I was hoping to hear something good and this helps greatly. Enjoy your day.
MDI-MD Help Needed
Can anyone give me the web address for MDI-MD? I can't find it anywhere.....
LOL! Thanks, I needed that.
xx
Help needed!
Has anyone had any experience with phone interview for Webmedx? I have one in the coming week. Do they take an oral assessment test or just the routine questions? Please any info about it appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Been out since 8 a.m. but needed
to get my photo license, so this worked out fine. Ran and did that plus stopped for bread and cheese for ham sandwiches. Took no time at all as the center was empty, as was the grocery store. Guess everyone is at the mall exchanging their gifts.
We were warned the other day that it may be VERY slow after Christmas and I looked forward to it. How I wish I could go to the mall and get new outdoor lights. Ours were blown out, so it was a dark and dreary Christmas Eve night. It's the only time we turn our lights on.
That's all I needed to know.....thanks!
xx
Thanks for the hug. Needed one now.
And I will be back later in the day when the afternoon, oh no, what did I do? sets in. LOL. Just going to take it one day at a time, before that one half day, one hour, etc. Still have not left the computer yet though. Maybe I should start a log on here called the recovering MT, and let you know if I get back off the wagon, etc. I do believe I need a 12 step, but for now, will remain sober in the fact that for today, I did what I have been afraid to do for years. And those hugs are so appreciated and NEEDED :)
THANKS....that's all i needed to know...nm
xxxxxxxx
Help needed
Could anyone give me info on Meridian Healthcare Group, LLC out of Indiana or Transcription-Express (don't know where they are from)
Any info would be appreciated!
The VA can be a big help when needed. sm
Some of their programs include retraining, housing help, that sort of thing. Once you learn to navigate the red tape and the paperwork, you are good to go. Email if you have any other questions and I will see if my DH can find out stuff for you. I am in Michigan.
No thanks needed
My heart breaks just a little bit more for you at the Q every time I read that board and your pay is being cut, there is NJA yet you're threatened with disciplinary action for not making up hours (doing non-existent work), sitting for hours waiting to get your lines in...all to eventually be put under the magnifying glass of performance review as the final 'formality' before your termination.
I've had to hold back tears several times reading your posts over there and I can only hope many of you are finding your way out of there before they beat you totally down.
And, yes, I agree 100% with your theory about CBay. Transcend is now up to over 2000 MTs and a PERFECT target for CBay.
I send positive thoughts for all of you at the Q as well, and I do so every time I read one of your heartbreaking posts.
*HUGS*
Guess If You Really Needed To Know....
You Would!
You just made my day!! Thanks, I needed that!
nm
thanks needed that info...
i tested last week too and never got a reply yet. oh well, moving on
Info needed!
Dear All! I'm writing a business plan and conducting some initial market surveys, and since all of you have always been a wealth of information, I figured this was a good place to start. I need to know what dictation/transcription platform any company you can think of is on. Please respond, just a quick post with the company name, platform, and if it is a web based platform (if you know). Thank you all in advance!!!
PS: No names needed.
No names needed, as I believe that is against board policy now, but just wanted to get a broad idea of how much per year deductable you pay if you work for a national service.
Maybe I just needed to vent.....
.... I'm an employee of Medware and I'm sure that all my co-workers will know exactly what the deal is. The last thing I need is your criticism when all you are interested in is someone being tacky and spreading dirt. You have not walked in my shoes and have no idea what I'm dealing with at this time! All I can say to you is if you are looking for a job, take my advice and do not choose Medware as your next place of employment, as at the current time it is not a good place to be. Although, I am happy for Wilma because obviously the changes at Medware have not reached her yet. Have a great day!
Editors needed
Hey. I replied to that as well and haven't heard anything back as of yet.
editors needed
I sent them my resume and got an e-mail back saying it had been forward to the right person. Nothing since then.
Support I think is needed
The first and foremost would be promotion of US-based transcription for US-based patients. I feel there are major, major privacy issues at hand there, and I would personally have trouble with my personal info being shipped overseas.
Certification I think is very, very debatable. AAMT has tried to make a standard practice, but really it isn't. You have to be certified and continue with education to be a nurse because those practices are standard and regulated pretty much across the board without too much difference. MTs have to do what the client at the time asks, and there is a ton a variation between companies and clients. I have worked for a lot of different places and have yet to find one that follows even half of the important rules of the BOS.
I also think another organization should point out certain advantages to being an MT, at home or otherwise. AAMT wants you of course to buy books and whatnot from their store, but there are many other resources online that are available to us simply because we are members of the medical field; most are free. Working at home gets you discounts on things like car insurance (cut mine in half). There are many advantages to ousourcing companies that hire at-home employees as well which are growing all the time.
I would absolutely participate as much as I can in getting something like this going. AAMT as decided where they are which is perfectly okay. They just now need replaced.
Nonpayment help needed
Invoiced and billed employer who has not sent me a check. I did email and a check was to be sent to me by this past Friday, but is now not responding to email inquiries as to the status and whether or not the checks were mailed (they now owe me 2).
Which regulatory agencies or legal groups do I contact in this regard in order to be paid?
Thanks - found what I needed! nm
xx
I applied, they needed someone right away
They called at an inconvenient time and not the time set-up to call. Started off badly, so I did not pursue it. I think they use a platform called MT World. If you go to that MT World site, you'll see a spot for Zylomed Employees. I guess if you want to learn a new platform, it might be okay. I do not know what the cpl was but I felt the communication was bad from the start. Archives says they are not a good company but they could have changed by now. One post said the girl got fired for posting here because Zylomed claimed she should have addressed her concerns with them and not on this board. Search Zylomed and read the archives - very interesting. These posts are only from like last summer, I believe. Good luck.
Thatnks, just what I needed to know :) nm
