Companies that definitely allow satellite connection. sm.
I have done an extensive search here and have noted the names of a few companies that allow MTing by satellite besides MedQuist. I'd just like to see if there have been any recent additions of companies that I can go this route with.
Yes, I do know the limitations of most companies with regards to the satellite connection but it is the only high-speed I have available and I need to make a change from MQ and just need to know what companies' systems are compatible with satellite.
Thanks in advance. 
Satellite connection
I am moving and looking for companies that allow internet work using a satellite connection rather than a DSL or cable co. as neither of these are available in the area. Thanks if anyone works using satellite or knows of companies that allow this. 
Satellite is not a stable connection. Not in terms of HIPAA or sm
privacy but in terms of stability of speed and signal. Because the signal waxes and wanes, it can cause disruptions in connection. They might not seem evident when you are surfing the net or checking your bank balance, but a VPN connection such as one that is needed to do transcription for many hospitals needs a solid, stable connection. This connection can be fast or slow, as long as it does not go faster and then slower and then faster and then out and then in. A satellite signal does this constantly, by the second, and it causes disruption in the flow.
Most companies will not allow satellite. nm
COMPANIES & satellite internet
Sorry about the error there, I hit the button before I caught that!!!
lots of companies just don't know that they CAN use satellite
The VPN, (virtual privacy network), is what makes it HIPPA compliant or not, so it would depend on what VPN your satellite company uses. Satellite works w/ EMDAT, so any company advertising EMDAT should work for you. I basically begged until one supervisor looked into it and discovered they could work w/ me regarding satellite. Then too, some just WILL NOT work w/ satellite. I have had people offer to try to work w/ me, but there was no working it out.
Companies that allow satellite or wireless?
Currently stuck with slow, slow dial-up and can't hardly stand it any longer! Considering investing in satellite or maybe wireless card. My current employer will accept this but since you never know what the future holds in the MT world, just wondering about other companies that might allow this. Would hate to be tied in for a two year or more contract plus any upfront costs on something that I could not use for work, so if any one could give me some suggestions about companies, I'd appreciate it so much Thanks for any info
Companies that allow Satellite internet?
Are there any that allow satellite internet? I may be moving to an area that does not have internet connection yet which is ridiculous since I live in a smaller area now that has it. Oh well, any info would be greatly appreciated. TIA!!
Are there any companies that accept satellite? sm..
What are you supposed to do if your only choices are satellite or dial-up?? Thanks.
MT Companies that accept satellite internet
'Kay, Im taking a chance here by asking this, I hope no one yells at me...I recently saw a post, but I can't remember what board I saw it on, it was a post about companies that will accept satellite internet and they had the companies listed.....Can someone PLEASE tell me who the companies are???? I am going satellite soon and would like to know who they are! TIF
Which companies accept satellite internet?
Just moved to rural Maine and found out the company I work for currently doesn't accept satellite, so I'm looking for one that does. Anyone know of any?
Will companies allow AT&T high-speed internet via satellite? (no msg)

Anyone know of any companies that will accept satellite AND Vista Home?
Just looking for something part-time to supplement my full-time MT position. Work running low consistently.
Oh no, I'm thinking about accepting a job with them.

Considering accepting an offer to do
Would love to hear from current QA folks at Sten-Tel. I am concerned because it is an IC position...is there a steady workload? I can't afford not to get 40 hours per week.
The ones accepting these positions must be SM
newbies, cause I can't believe an MT with much experience would put up with it.
Are they accepting resumes? sm
I used to work for them about 2 years ago on acute care and had to quit because everything they had required high speed internet and I only had dialup at the time. I now have high speed and would be interested in working on one of their radiology accounts. What are the line requirements for radiology? Where would I apply? There is no place on their website to apply. Thanks.
ALL TYPE - OFFERED JOB - I'M ACCEPTING
Thank you all for your input, it is appreciated. 
I'm going to accept  . It is wonderful because I will be doing what I love most...training  and QA (don't scream now...I'm old it will hurt my ears!). I owned my own business years ago, and have always been a working MT. I have worked as an MT and trainer for over 32 years; last was for another larger national as a trainer and when I left (the grass is not always greener on the other side, especially going to work for the wicked witch -- made a HUGE Mistake!) shortly thereafter (about 1-1/2 weeks, honestly!!) I realized I wasn't as happy as I was training. To make a long story short (as my oldest and dearest friend told me  ) Your setback was a setup for a comeback!
Thank you again 
I'm in the process of accepting a position with them. SM
They didn't say anything about a turn-around time, thought, so maybe this varies by account. I liked the sound of the account I'm going to be doing and so I'm going for it. I wish the pay was a little higher, but I always wish that! I actually didn't ask about raises - didn't think about it. I'm not really much help, am I? lol
Costs associated with accepting a position do not sm
include purchasing MS Word or medical spellchecker. Keystrokes provides the platfom for the account you are on and if you do not have Shorthand, they will provide it for you.
Some accounts do require unlimited long distance, but I have it anyway as I have 2 college students out of state and a teenager. I went with my local cable company and can call anywhere any time. It is less than my regular phone was.
I'm glad you are happy with your decision, but if you look in the future for another job, don't count KS out as they will work to help you get what you need and the account that best suits you.
TT web site not accepting resumes?
Hey y'all, just tried to send TT my resume by using their website resume sender lol I tried sending it on IE (gave me a 404 error) and on Netscape (it just sat there). Anybody have an email address I can send it to? Thanks! JC
Why does progress mean accepting a lower wage?
I want to point out the contrast between the OP and this response.
The OP says MDI moving to VR is to cut costs. Had to Respond says it is keeping up with the times and says nothing about reducing costs. Is moving to VR keeping up with (sic) technological times or is it being used to reduce costs?
I believe it is the latter, not the former. And if that is the case, Had to respond has no straws to grasp to justify the transition. It is NOT about moving with technology and everything to do with paying less to the ICs.
I am so not impressed with Had to Respond and her big girl panties to accept less money.
My creditors are just not accepting nice for $$$$ to pay my bills
We continue to get these emails from mgmt about big things in store . . . but we cannot tell you about it now. This has been going on for a number of months now. Who is going to benefit from those big things. We MT's are LOSING money each and every day, but you keep getting the same size paychecks because you are either salaried or hourly employees.
It is very sad you are so accepting of offshoring and AAMT turning a blind eye to the American MTs.
The offshoring would not be a problem if there was not such a huge difference in cost. We are on the losing end and taking pay cuts because of offshoring. Also, I know many who have lost their jobs to cheap labor overseas. AAMT is encouring this. That is wrong. America is slowly become a third world country in itself. If we don't stop it now, there will be no jobs left for Americans. I don't care where you are from or what kind of job you have, the pay should be equal for all so the competition is fair. You will find after some time with AAMT, you will be ignored and will receive nothing but redundant information from AAMT office and local chapters. Anything they offer can be gained via the internet now.
Satellite is secure. Wireless DSL is less secure than satellite but
yet companies accept that. Satellite can be very secure depending on how you have everything set up.
MDI-FL - MDI-MD - NO CONNECTION
There is no connection between MDI-MD and MDI-FL. I have not heard good things about FL.
I have been with MDI-MD for over 2 years, have never run to of work if I was willing to type a secondary account, have had very positive supervision and QA, and am making an excellent line rate. I wish I had found this company earlier in my career because it's great.
Unfortunately, I am just totally burned out on transcription in general. This pay rate is what is keeping me here another year or 2 until retirement.
No connection as far as I know...is there?

FutureNet/MQ connection?
I know this has been brought up many times, but on the MQ web site there is a question to Frank that states which programs you call which office for and guess what -- FutureNet was mentioned as one of their platforms.
I always felt they were connected, I knew Carole fromYOG used to have something to do with Futurenet and then she sold to MQ so......
Is there any connection between MQ & Spryance ??
Just curious !!!!
transcription connection
I was just wondering if anyone could help me with some information. Does anyone know how I can get ahold of MaryEllen Newman at the transcription connection in Ohio. Does the company sill exist. Any help would be greatly appreicated.
I think it was Transcription Connection, known as TCI. nm

DTS internet connection
Do you know if they allow a dial up or satellite internet connection? Do they have employee status or IC?
transcription connection
Anyone ever worked for transcripotion connection? They are out of Ohio.
Keystrokes connection? sm
Do you have accounts that allow satellite internet connection? Thanks.
Transcription Connection, Inc.
Anyone work for Transcription Connection, Inc. out of Ohio?
What is the connection between AAMT and HPI?
What is the connection between AAMT and HPI? I was printing off articles to send to my Aunt. The ads reminded me of a circle jerk site the way they were saying use our materials AAMT will certify your school.
What kind of connection do you need?
I'm still waiting for a fast connection (one is coming within 5 months), but sometimes go to WIFI hot spots to work. Does TransTech's platform work with any kind of connection? Some of the MTs that used to work where I am working now have bailed to TT and seem happy and relieved.
Does Transtech have any offshore affiliations?
Do they allow you to stay on familiar accounts or do they jumble your accounts and authors?
3 computers 1 connection
Does anybody work on 3 computers at the same time with only 1 DSL connection? Could you tell me how to do it so each is secure from the other and compliant? Thanks in advance for any information.
Transcription Connection/TCI sm
They've got a new pilot program starting. Anyone hear about it? I'm not interested but wondering if this is the old TCI or is it a refurbished one?
Transcription Connection sm
They dare to ask for verification of a per line rate? As an IC you can charge what you want to who you want - I cannot believe what some companies ask for and what some ICs are willing to provide.
Transcription Connection
Transcription Connection in Lynchburg Ohio has been a good company to work for. Smaller so it's a little more personal. Good pay, several work types, all IC.
Connection Problems
I had some problems yesterday that worked themselves out, but today around 11:30 I started having trouble. None of MDI's suggestions have worked for me thus far!
I got thrown out, lost my connection
called my team leader, who was very nice, and never got back in. 3 hours ago, still have not heard from IT. I am going to stick it out, though, hoping things will work out.
Transcription Connection hands down.
Logs, logs, more logs, spreadsheets. Everything done manually. Tons of scanned patient lists. Even had to look up addresses so the husband could do the envelopes. Insist you count every report with the Word counter (a ripoff). 1/4 of your day spent on crap not included in your line count.
Who pays 9/10 cpl with/sp that allows dial up connection? nm

Transcription Connection in Ohio
Would not ever recommend this company to anyone. Run, run as fast as you can.
TRANSCRIPTION CONNECTION IN OHIO
In reply to your post, TCI is an outstanding company to work for. I have always been paid well and paid always on time. They expect quality work from all employees and provide quality dictation to their clients as well as TAT times under 24 hours. All clients are pleased. All MT's employed are VERY happy with TCI.
Any information on Transcription Connection
