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.

Most companies will not allow satellite. nm
COMPANIES & satellite internet
Sorry about the error there, I hit the button before I caught that!!!
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. 
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
companies accepting satellite connection
Cannot get DSL/cable (no way). Need suggestions on companies hiring with satellite connection. Thank you.
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.
Lots of companies have Sun-Th shifts.
That still gives you 2 days off.
More and more companies offshore. Lots of them
say they don't, but they do. It is getting harder and harder to find a company that doesn't offshore, whether it be to India, the Phillipines, or Trinidad. If you have children to feed and a mortgage to pay you HAVE to work. Unless you've figured out a way to get the bills paid and not work you do what you have to do.
companies that have lots of templates
Are there any companies that provide lots of templates and normals and a good rate per line? This is my dream job, to find this company!
Lots of Indian companies ...
have U.S. addresses. Probably all you need is a P.O. Box.
When I went to www.navesys.com I got an index page rather than an actual website, & one of the links was transindiatranscribers.
It can include Ops, but lots of companies
offer positions with or without ops, so acute care doesn't necessarily mean Ops. Acute care is hospital setting and can be any report type, basic 4 would include Ops usually.
Any Extext companies with LOTS of work NOW?

Lots of companies require you to work live in their
system and dial-up won't allow you to do that. Some companies ask for DSL/Cable so it is less taxing on their servers for people to download. I know there were companies who are okay with dial-up because you just download and then work off-line, but I think those numbers are dwindling.
There are lots of companies who will provide a foot pedal, but they
aren't that expensive and you can find them used on the classifieds here or on e-bay.
Lots of companies pay 1.5 times line rate
for holidays, but unless you work all day it doesn't add up to much. My company pays for us to take the day off and then if you work you get your line rate, plus get paid anyway, or you can take another day off in the same pay period.
Big deal! Lots of companies require certain things whether it be software, sm
footpedals, a certain version of Word, etc. I have an Infinity footpedal and I have used Expresscribe with it previously; however, StartStop is totally worth the money as it works with it as well.
Lots of promises, no follow through. Lots and lots of internal sm
problems. She is recruiting heavy right now as she has a CHANCE at getting a big account back. Even if they get it back, they'll blow it again from poor management.
I totally agree, your story is mine and lots, and lots of others, please
believe me when I say Keystrokes has been honest like we used to have in this profession. If I can help one Transcriptionist avoid what we have, this will all be worth it. I worked parttime for Keystrokes at the time I was fulltime with ____ and quit, 2 years later I begged them to take me back after once again my paycheck was cut in half, and they did with open arms. I don't mean to run down anyone but a lot of these transcription companies are getting obscenely rich while paying below minimum wage to transcriptionists, playing with dictation and after working for a couple of them you know who is honest and who is not. Sorry I came down so hard but the reality is there are single mothers out there that I bet cry themselves to sleep not able to give their children a decent life because it is easier to steal from us. When companies have millions of dollar to pay for other transcription companies, open transcription schools in other countries, ect., ect., you know there is a lot of money in it. That is all I am saying.
I don't think we work at the same place, but I have been working lots and lots of hours.
Very thankful to have a decent job.
Lots and lots of recent stuff in archives.
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.
Lots and Lots of info about them in the archives. nm
Lots and lots of work. You will love

Satellite
I believe one is Transcend.
They had a ad once that said no satellite. nm

Do not get satellite!!!
Satellite is a waste of money. I had it for four years and I could hardly work for any MTSO companies. Most of them do not allow satellite. If you have DSL or cable, please go that route. I currently use EMDAT and I remember the employer's ad said no dial-up or satellite with EMDAT. Good luck!!!
Satellite, anyone? (sm)
I found a great house out in the boonies and the only available high-speed internet is by satellite, a company called Wild Blue. Does anyone know of any MT companies that let you work by satellite, and has anyone got any experience with Wild Blue or other satellite providers? I appreciate the help. Can't move if I can't work.
What is so bad about satellite
In my experience with satellite internet, it has been way better than cable as far as outages. When I had an outage with cable, there was NOTHING I could do until it was back up and running usually by calling the cable company.
If there is an outage with my satellite internet, I can do several things that ALWAYS WORK.
EX #1: If it is snowing and my internet isn't working, I go wipe off my satellite with a broom.. Internet is back instantly. Sometimes I have to do this several times a day.
EX #2: If your internet isn't working and it isn't snowing or torrential downpour of rain, then unplug your internet and shut down your computer. Restart and then plug everything back in. Always works.
Only time I have ever lost internet was to torrential downpours of rain and the second it let up, my internet was back.
Am I one of the lucky few that this happens to? It is just so irritating to see not accepting satellite internet because of reliability issues.
I think sometimes people just use that to an advantage and it gives ALL SATELLITE a bad name - I'll just tell them I didn't work because my internet was down. Do you know how many times in the past 2 years I had to call off of work because of internet issues? ZERO. Do you know how many times I had to call off work because my cable internet was down? At least once a week. Not fun.
You can get satellite for $70/mo and
can get free systems sometimes if you sign a 12-mo contract. If you are unable to get a job because you don't have high-speed internet then look at the cost of that versus satellite.
Satellite
Does anyone know of any companies, large or small, that work with satellite (Hughes)?? I have just moved to a very remote area and broadband is not available. Any help is much appreciated.
Satellite
Years ago I was so naive that I thought I was cable when (because it was through a cable company) I applied that is what I told them and I had fewer problems than the people with actual cable connections or DSL, and I had more protection against tampering with my internet than I currently do with the best cable company in town. So, I am not entirely sure that I would not just apply and say yeah high speed internet connection.
satellite
I tried working on one of the accounts they now have when I had a satellite. It was just not compatible. I now have DSL, much better all around. I was working for MQ when I had the satellite and they had a great hospital, which has since gone to KS.
I have satellite...
I had cale for yrs ... loved it ... now moved to country had to get satellite. Yea its a little slower but seriously ..not bad and the satellite companies usually have three catagories ... FAST FASTER and FASTEST ... i only have fast... and its really not bad
I think it depends on the satellite. sm
It's not recommended but there are MTs using satellite within the company. Ask the recruiter.
I disagree with you on satellite. Please sm.
I have had the DW4000 business edition for 4 years. I just switched over to the DW7000HNS. I can say my problems have been minimal over the 4-year time period. However, I do know there are a few companies out there that do not work with satellite setups due to VPNs and supposedly being able to hack into it. That is their loss. If you have the right setup, you can work with VPNs without any problem (I do now). I have even had a tech tell me that he could get into my network. I told him to go ahead and give it a try. Nearly 2 hours later, he said Ok, I can't. For every company not willing to work with a satellite connection (which can be safer than wireless DSL), there are 2 that are willing to work with it. So, just keep looking for those. :) I hope everyone has a great week!
Does Transtech allow satellite? nm

Satellite okay for Keystrokes??
I just filled out a questionnaire Keystrokes sent me, and one of the questions was do you have DSL or cable...as I am on broadband/satellite I am now wondering if that closes the door for me? I do WISH companies would post on their websites what their internet requirements are, sure would save some time for everybody! So, anyone here who knows about internet for Keystrokes? thanks much!
Keystrokes and Satellite
They do post their requirements DSL or Cable. I have a friend who was turned down because she only had satellite so I'm think, that you do not match.
EXText/Satellite
My experience says no. The satellite connection I had just had too many highs and lows to be productive. This was on Dictaphone EXText. Hope this helps. IMO, Broadband is definitely the way to go if at all possible.
I use satellite for one account...sm
which is a web-based account and so far no problems, though I have only been on it a few weeks. The company seemed to think the satellite would be fine. My primary account at KS uses C-phone, so need a second phone line and ULLD. So obviously there are a number of different platforms, varying from account to account.
I also was under the understanding that they have put a freeze on hiring for the time being....but unless it says that on their website I don't see the harm in putting in your resume. Then when you get a chance to talk to a recruiter you can let them know what your internet capabilities are. I cannot get cable or DSL and was feeling discouraged about finding someone who would take me, but KS didn't bat an eye about my satellite. I was told that they have accounts which do require cable/DSL, but its not all of them....thankfully! Good luck.
