Which companies provide computers? TIA
They do provide computers, but there is a
charge per pay period, I think about $9 or so. You cannot use the new Window Vista. Everything else they will download if you use your own computer. I took a pay cut to go there but am very happy, and they do have bonus incentives. The accounts are pretty decent. Staff is extremely friendly and cooperative.

Do any companies still provide all the computer hardware and software programs?

Thank you for any information.
Companies that provide Equipment?
I am wondering if there are still any companies that provide equipment. I have almost 20 years of experience, have a pentium processor and Windows XP, but I do not have a foot pedal... Does anyone know off hand?

Companies that provide a computer
Good Day,
Hope some of you are willing to help me out. I am running out of Unemployment Benefits and need to start applying for jobs again. Tried a few months back, but gave up after not receiving any decent, living-wage offers. Now my computer is on its last leg, throwing another obstacle into my job-search efforts.
Would anyone working for a company that still provides a computer to full-time employee MTs please provide the company name and, if you know, what they charge for computer rental?
I did research this in the archives, but there was no current information, and I had previously read a few times that more and more companies are stopping that practice and requiring MTs to provide their own computers. In my case, that is the old the chicken or the egg problem. My personal computer is old and does not meet some company's hardware requirements. I cannot get a decent job without a new computer, but I cannot pay for a new computer unless I have a decent job.
If anyone would care to share any good job openings, that would also be great. LOL
Any help is sincerely appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Are there any companies out there who provide benefits at start....sm
instead of having to wait 90 days? If so, how are they to work for?
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.
Companies that provide afforable health insurance?
I was wondering if anyone can tell me what companies provide affordable health insurance. I need to provide insurance for my family with good coverage and affordable premiums. I can't wait 90 days or more before benefits start. I need to work at a company that provides benefits pretty quickly. I know...seems impossible these days. Thanks for any help you can provide!

What good companies provide computer, etc. without charge for that equipment?
Do you know of any companies that provide computer, with or without cost to the MT?
Could you please provide names of companies where you are able to make required line counts
and then some? I am struggling to find a platform or company which counts lines where a person can make more than 10K or 11K lines in a 2 week payperiod. This is silly. This MT used to make 10K lines every week. Any and every suggestion would be appreciated. BTW: Also please if you can let us know here where you cannot meet line count. You can use initals so you don't get in trouble. Thanks in advance.

Try calling the Corporate office for Foxboro and see what you get. I worked in New Jersey and the site closed and corporate there is where you have to call for things. Hope this helps.
Computers
What type of computers do most of you prefer to do transcription? Laptops or desktops? And if you do use laptops do any of you travel and take your work?
Some of us use our own computers, though.
TT computers
They will lease one for a pretty reasonable fee, $9.00 a pay period. Plus, they are go out of their way to help their MTs, speaking from personal experience.
I know just about enough about computers
to be dangerous. Mostly when things go squirrely I just close down everything I can, reboot and cross my fingers. Amazing how many problems are solved that way. But I guess I should not even own the computer at all, by some people's reasoning.
I had a courier job once, briefly. I used my personal car to deliver packages from point A to point B. To me a car is a thing with four wheels on the ground and one in my hands. I don't really know much about the internal combustion engine, don't really want to know much. (I do know how to open the hood and stare at the engine - which is all most guys know too - then jiggle a wire or two, shake my head, close the hood and call AAA.) I can do a jump start. I know what to do if it's flooded. I know where the various fluids go. End of my automotive expertise.
If I were really stranded somewhere, I might try the bent-hairpin trick, but there are people whose sole area of expertise is diagnosing and fixing cars! Others whose duty is to haul you there. There are people whose area of expertise is to fix computer problems. If I think my efforts might mess things up worse, you bet I'm calling tech support! Don't get between me and the phone.

Doubt they'll remove any software but they will quit paying for the antivirus so you won't be able to get the updates anymore once the switch to Triton has taken place.
Get a KVM switch and you can tie your computers together with (sm)
one keyboard, one monitor and one mouse. Try Circuit City they have them. Good luck.
Yes they do lease computers

spheris computers
When I worked for them the computer crashed enough on its own...it didn't need any help. The screen would go blue and it would say something like beginning dump of physical memory. I was told it wasn't a problem until it did it several times per shift..then they would replace it.
Spheris computers
I have had several lemons too. It is not the computers that are lemons, it is the management and the company who are lemons.
those new spheris computers
Has anyone noticed how they log on to your computer and rearrange your desktop if they don't like how it looks? Or how they block you from using normal, everyday websites on the brand new computers? LOL We are trusted with private medical information but the company has nothing better to do than to spy on everyone and make them feel belittled. I don't think that is very good for morale.
OSi used to supply computers - not sure if they still do

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.
Focus Computers
I believe that you have to own your own computer. I work as an IC so I do use my own equipment and write it off at the end of the year for tax purposes. They supply the software that you need to complete the dictations (EditScript).
do they supply computers?

Actually, with computers, it's a standard to only
Two spaces were used with typewriters to make a document easier to read, but computers have proportional fonts, so the extra spacing after punctuation is no longer necessary. One space has been rule in desktop publishing and it's actually easier to read, IMO, than 2 spaces. It's definitely hard to get used to at first, but it's actually easier once you do and saves keystrokes. Of course, if you've been using 2 and getting paid for the extra space, you'll lose out, but most places seem to prefer one space now. You can sometimes set grammar checks to watch for 2 spaces and alert you so you can change it to only 1. I know Word has that option and it does help when you are transitioning.
KVM switch is used to connect 2 computers....sm
your home computer and the computer from a company so that you can use use 1 keyboard and 1 monitor.
I've had 2 computers in 5+ years and SM
The only reason I got the new one was because they were sending them out to every one - no problems with the old one.
It's like cars - sometimes you get a lemon. LOL!
What kind of computers does Precyse use?
Thanks!
I realize this also, but MOST newer computers..sm
do not even have the 15 pin serial ports (game ports) any longer. I had purchased a 15 pin game port pedal and used it less than 6 months because my sound card went out and I had to get a new one. I could not find ANY that had a 15 pin game port any longer and ended up having to buy a whole new pedal (usb) in order to work. USB is what is mostly used these days. If she needs a 15 pin footpedal I will gladly sell her mine... been there and did that.
Do they supply/lease computers? NM

part time computers
Thank you very much.
Question about company computers
Does anyone know if a company like Diskriter sends out a computer, do the company monitor this at all times? In other words, can they see what you are doing, where you are surfing, etc? 
Thanks!
Would this apply to personal computers
used for MT work as well? I work on EditScript. If I am waiting for jobs to come in, would the company I'm logged in to be able to track me just because I am logged in to EditScript?
When I worked for a hospital we used their computers
I could chime in anytime to see what we were doing. They did it to me several times. Plus, they could read our e-mails even though we were at home. They were more worried about us minding our own business and working and not snooping into medical files.
When we were connected to the VPN, internet was blocked. We could surf without the VPN. We could not put any software or any extras on it except what the hospital wanted.
I am using my own computer now but I wonder if I would be better off with a company that provides the equipment for more structure.
NetMed in Cadillac provides computers. At least they used to.nm

Does anyone know if SoftScript provides computers for their employees? s/m
Also, what kind of incentive program (if any) do they have?
Thanks in Advance!!!!!
