Global Transcription Network
Has anyone heard of the company "Global Transcription Network," was offered a job today. Thanks bunches everyone.
Global Transcription Network
It is based out of Texas.
Global Transccription Network
Where is the company located. I worked for a company that bought out a company by that name. If it is one in the same - do your best to run the other way. 
Global Medical Transcription
I checked out quite a few schools when I was looking. At the time the range was from around $700 for tapes to around $5000 or more for one of the more well-known schools. GMT was $2500. I had read on one of the boards that doing the tapes unsupervised, without anyone to explain things or ask questions of, was not a good idea. I thought that made sense.
I wanted a school that would train online and train in the use of FTP, etc. All the work was done via FTP at GMT.
I wanted a school that had some kind of placement program. GMT did, & I got hired by Medquist a couple of days after I graduated. I stayed there for about 9 months, then moved on & have been working ever since. I think the course was 6 months. It was not self-paced; you had to keep up. I was at my computer for at least 8 hours a day.
I liked GMT just fine. My instructor was great, there was some virtual classmate comaraderie, they encouraged us to use a word Expander right away, provided us with software & books. Everyone was nice & helpful, including the people working in accounting & registration, among other contacts.
I did check out a local community college that had an MT program. They had a prerequisite course that was not available until Fall (this was in April or so). You could not take any other classes until you had taken this one, & you could not take any other classes concurrently. I remember estimating that it would have taken me more than 3 years to get through the program. The JC was cheaper, but not when I took 3 years of living expenses into account. I decided to go the shorter, full-time, more expensive route because I wanted to be working sooner.
I liked GMT & am glad I went through their program. But they were hard to find, didn't advertise much, & now I think they went out of business. I just tried their web address & the link was dead. It's not because it was a bad school. It's just that no one knew about them.
Are you on a network or single computer at work?
Lots of things can make this happen. It depends on the normal.dot if that's where you are saving them. Some networks won't let you save to the normal.dot.
What network? It comes on @ 11 p.m. Friday on USA network where I live. - nm
L:ess work available in Transcription
Between out-sourcing and new voice-recognition, without a doubt, in the very near future, our profession will no longer be needed.
What transcription platform do you work on? sm
Hi all! Just curious about the platform you work on and if you like it? If there was a "dream" platform, what would it be? What would you change on your platform if you could? Don't be shy, tell us what you think. :)
because I LOVE transcription work.
I am 60 years old and neither need the $ nor the bennies, I just love doing transcription (of course with the caveat of having all the appropriate demographics provided as well as clearly enunciated dictation). Doubt, though, that you can understand this.

anybody work for Landmark Transcription, INC
Hi, I would like info on Landmark Transcription, if anyone is familiar please. Pros and cons. Just got job offer. Thanks in advance.
Legal Transcription Work
There is definitely legal work out there. I do legal transcription as well as general transcription. There are quite a few legal companies out there. The thing I like about them is the TAT is usually very long. The company I worked for had a 14 day TAT.
Anyone out there running low on work at Solutab Transcription?
ughhh
Do you work in a hospital or a Transcription Service
Office? It is a hospital there should be a manager that you can go to or an administrator. Production is key in hospital work, and it is important you have the quiet you need to produce.
global
I worked for them many years ago and the owners are great. Very helpful with any problems you encounter.
Global - sm
So what are they like to work for? How is their work and do they run out of work. How are their dictators? Any information would be appreciated.

Laptop/notebook recommendations for transcription work?
I am going to get a laptop/notebook in about a month and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for one that seems to work well with transcription. I need to know specifics like hard drive, RAM, memory, model number, etc. Thanks in advance
Superior Global
Does anyone know anything about Superior Global?
SUPERIOR GLOBAL
Does anyone know anything good or bad about Superior Global Solutions out of Texas?
Superior Global
I have worked for Superior previously. While I loved my job there as an editor, I work 24/7, literally. It was very difficult editing for Indian MTs because there was no communication and they were not very good. They are apparently going through some real financial difficulties at the moment. They just lost their major account.
superior global
thanks
Superior Global
Not only did they lose the account, but they knew months in advance this was happening. Nothing was said to the MTs at all. They just went in to work and there was none. This is not to mention - paychecks bounce
superior global
Superior global wants basic 4 also, it is for clinical work only. I will try the other one you posted. Thank you :)
Try Superior Global
The last I heard, Superior Global Solutions out of Plano, Texas hired MTs fresh out of school, I am sure to do clinic notes, but that is a start anyways. You are just going to have to start out doing any kind of MT work you can get your hands on, just anything to show you have actual work experience. I was lucky and got started in this business over 20 years ago, learning on-the-job, but I know it's harder now days.
correct - they took global steps and is why they
since they are NO LONGER DEALING WITH ONLY AMERICAN MTs, their name is no longer AAMT -
Please recognize this. Thank you.
In our increasingly global community, maybe

Global Trans in Florida
I posted this on the company forum, but no one replied. I thought maybe it was overlooked. Does any work for or know anything about Global Transcription in Florida? Thanks a bunch
Does anyone work a part time job that is NOT transcribing or related to the transcription field?
If so, what??
Superior Global Solutions and Futurenet...sm
I heard Superior Global Solutions does not get your pay to you. Futurenet, I have read here does not have any benefits and runs out of work. Also here are a few other bad ones I have seen and read on here: SoftScript, Spheris, and good/bad about Transcend.
The good ones in which I have read have been all of the MDIs. Have not had any experience with them though..Good luck!
Man, its HOT in Indiana! Talk about global warming!

They encourage outsourcing, global economy.

You are in a global market now Darlene. If she doesn't do it, someone overseas will.

you must say YES to saving the global template when you exit Word each day. sm
If you are not prompted to save your global template each time you close Word, then do the following:
On the Word tool bar go to Options, then Save, then make sure the box next to Prompt to Save Normal Template is checked.
yep, global warming? But projected path is Galveston due to high pressure &

Always be looking. Every day. Network with others. SM
I have the best job I've ever had in my life, and it came from friends on the board. Every job I get is the same way. Word of mouth. I have only filled out one application for employment since 1983 and I already had the job.
They really are out there and it sounds like you are qualified. Are you wanting full time or part time?

We could have our own network MTtV
Have a show like Candida Camera where a resident spends an hour with a patient that he doesn't understand. When the doctor asks where the pain is the patient can point to his chest and as soon as the MD starts listening to the chest, the patient can change his mind and tell him the pain is in the back. When he goes to the back, the patient can tell him, "no wait, in the stomach". He can give him a list of medicines all spelled wrong and dosages all wrong. Then when the doctor is giving him instructions, the patient can start talking on his cellphone, making the doctor sit and wait while the patient talks to someone else.
Or....
In another episode of Candida Camera, show a physician talking to consulting doctor who speaks a number of different dialects or a doctor who talks a million milds a minute in half-syllable words. Watch Dr. A try to understand what Dr. B as he makes up words, lab tests, and diagnoses.
network solutions dot com....nm
For the network either, apparently.
BTW, I think it sucks that he left his wife and poor little ill baby for his new co-star. Glad it was canceled!!!
What about DISH network?
We are not worried about the TV aspect as we do not own a TV! This would be strictly for the internet service.
Is the printer on a network?
You may have to "wake up" the computer that printer is directly connected to and/or reboot that computer.
hughes network
I had them also before as I live way out there. They sound a little better than Wildblue but I still had many problems and felt they were not much faster than dial up either. We now also have DSL with windstream and even though it is the slowest connection that windstream has, it is better than dialup or satellite. I enjoy it also. To get started with Hughes network it cost me $800.00 to buy the dish and $60.00 a month. I still have the dish on the house and have no use for it. I too am happy with my DSL.
Network Problem
The problem could be any of several different things. We'll have to step through this and I'll need to be able to ask you some questions so we should probably take this offline to email.
Just hit "Reply by E-mail" at the bottom of this post with the subject "Network Problem" and I'll get back to you.
network air card
I have one which I purchased a month ago. it works well. I went with Verizon because it is 5 Gigs and ATT is only 3 Gigs of usage which makes a lot of difference. It works well and is portable. Sounds like it would be good for you in your situation. The first bill is more becuase of the setup fee, etc. ($112). I have not decided if I will keep my internet carrier or just have the Verizon. it is enough unless you want to view movies do a lot of video stuff. That will send you over the amount and cost a lot more. Hope you granddaughter gets better post haste. Will remember her in prayer.

How hard is it to network 2 systems
I would like these 2 systems to talk with each other and have no idea of how to do it?
He's still on the air because he owns the network. Nuff said? nm
:
You can Google for the show on the network and
read episode summaries online. Or there are websites out there with the fullblown scripts of every episode posted. I think they're even coming up with websites where you can legally watch reruns for $.99. I used to read the long scripts on my favorite TV show when we didn't have cable.
