The hospital that I contract for is looking at new equipment and Insoware is under consideration along with Medquist (which use to be Lanier).  If you have any information on these systems, please e-mail me.

Thanks

i took a test with them last week and hadn't heard anything.  any info?

thanks

I am copying this from the MQ board and feel it is so important that it belongs here!  We may have some new muscle here.  At least there is hope....

"I found out about this by reading an MT blog written by Jay Vance, CMT. This newly formed organization is addressing off-shoring of transcription work. Membership dues for the first 500 members is free. American Transcription Association. Check it out here:

website at the link below to be added to the do not call list. 

It is our understanding that many MTs are being solicited at all hours of the day and night by this company.

not sure of the full name, but something like Sierra Legal Transcription, perhaps. Maybe you could still locate it on the archives on the job board. 

Heads up warning! A company called DictaCall posted a classified ad
here yesterday claiming great cost savings. After researching the company, I have found that the company is overseas in India and is offering the identical rate structure as another US voice service.  There is absolutely no cost savings whatsoever and anyone using their voice system would be calling into a toll free number where the voice file would end up on a server in Calcutta, West Bengal, India. 

What does this mean to you, the transcription service?
1. HIPAA compliance is compromised.
2. Your client information is at risk. Offshore entities can come in try to undercut you and take your business.
3. In case of outage, you're stuck if you can't get in touch with technical support.

I could go on, but I think you can probably see the same big problems that I see.

doing that, but that does not mean that they won't.  Here are some obstacles to your idea:  1) To edit a report, you have to listen to the original dictation along with it.  It is not just reading the report.  It sounds like listening to dictation would be new territory for you.  It is not a piece of cake.  2) I don't know of any companies that would have enough dictation specifically regarding eye care coming through to keep you busy enough.  3) If you wanted employee status to earn benefits, you would most likely have to keep to a schedule which would mean you could not do the work in between patients then finish in the evening.  4) I don't think you could get your foot very far through the door without having to take a transcription test, which you most likely could not pass unless you have transcription experience.  5) Companies hire editors/QA because of the years of transcription experience they have under their belt.  I don't think your experience as an optometrist would qualify. 

Good luck to you and your new practice. 

 Does anyone know of an honest transcription firm.  Looking for names.

facilities.  I knew that, but had never encountered anyone who works with it in the real world who doesn't not work for the specific company that developed it.  They keep us pretty much in the dark about that stuff.

anyway, when the platform is working well, it is not impossible to make over 300 lph.  350 would be rare, and depend a lot on formatting, what you are paid for and what you are not paid for.

They can't provide anything in writing.

Nobody knows anything - keep telling you to call your supervisor.

I smell something worse than New Orleans coming from NJ.

Old company, let me go before two weeks was up.  New company, said they were having trouble getting me set up and my equipment ready, but they would pay me while I waited.  It's been a month, still no check from new company even though I was told it was "in the mail."  I have no income and am at a loss. 

I have a signed offer letter from the new company, contracts, etc.  I applied for unemployment, but old company is saying I quit and technically I am currently employed with the new company!  New company is not returning calls or answering email.

What should I do!?!?!?!

I started sending my resume out today, but the process of getting a new job will take at least two weeks and I need money now to catch up on what I'm behind!
