Transcriptiongear.com - they have Idigital (digital transcription ) which I have been using for 8 years and GearFTP which which they have just started and are cheaper that the rest unless they are free - but may be limited in how much you can send or store.

Digital dictation set up
Hi all,
After a very stressful week with the WRONG person (a so called professional) helping me to set up digital dictation using the wrong software (Long story there, but will not go into right now) I need advice.
I purchased an Olympus DS-2 hand held dig recorder for the one doctor I have it is just me transcribing, no subs used ever. The Olympus software I assume is not HIPAA compliant, correct? I dont see it mentioned anywhere so that is why I assume this. I need something to send the voice files on the doctors end that will be HIPAA compliant/encrypted, etc. I do not need to send back finished work via internet. SO I need a one sided (him sending to me) program that will be very user friendly on his end. It has taken me nearly 15 years to get him to this point, so we are taking baby steps. I do not want to spend a lot of $$ for one account at this point. What advice can any of you give me?
Thanks so much, sorry it is long........
Need help with digital dictation
I currently have my own account that is digital, but I did not have to setup their voice recorders. I only had to install the secure program I use for file transfer and show them how to move their voice file into my program.
So, I guess my question is when a doctor buys a digital recorder does it come with its own software program that allows them to plug their recorder into their computer and upload the voice file onto their computer? I know at that point they can just click on the file and drag it over into my program where I access it to transcribe it, but I’m lost on how they use their recorders as I’ve actually never seen that part of it. I just got a new account and would like to know this information before my meeting with the office manager, so I don’t sound like a complete dork :)
Any help or explanation as to how the doctors do their end of uploading their voice files would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much!
The dictation is digital.
All dictation is discarded upon completion. The OM saves a copy on her computer as well until I have completed my end so that if there is a problem with transmission, etc., the dictation can be resent.
Thanks!
Searching for digital dictation
Hi,
I'm looking for some advice and direction. I am looking for possible options for a digital dictation/transcription system for a multioffice practice on a Citrix network environment with remote transcriptionists. Several years ago I worked for a web based transcription service that used Chartnet, but that was several years ago. I don't 'really remember any big issues, but I don't need the payroll, production aspect of a system. I am looking more for tracking, in having control of knowing incoming and outgoing jobs with a system. Our practice is integrating with EMR; however, several of our physicians continue to choose to dictate and I am looking to other transcriptionists to possibly point me in the direction of software that they have used so I can research and try to find a product that will fit our practice - we are still on micro tapes. I am looking for a system that of course would be Transcriptionist friendly, but also afford me the ability to manipulate the jobs, i.e. assigning easily, producing reports and software that has good tracking abilities and of utmost importance, excellent sound quality for the player. As a transcriptionist, I personally would look for a system that I will not spend a lot of time in the download function and the complete function. It isn't real effective to me if the time uploadinging and downloading per job takes longer than actually transcribing the jobs. We have a large quantity of work. Key to me is having control of my work, meaning the physicians being able to identify dictation with a patient number and my being able to track jobs downloaded. Forgive my rambling!! I would appreciate anyone responding to me with any suggestions or telling me of your experience with software.
Thank you in advance - I know that the first place I needed to go with this transcription question was to the experts - folks that use these systems and are familiar.
Dictation Digital Voice question
I need some assistance, please. Could someone tell me which transcription units are compatible with Dictaphone Digital Voice? Thanks!
Static in digital dictation file
I'm just wondering if anyone else has this problem. The dictator is using a Sony, (dont know what model, but it is only about a year old), which uses a memory stick exactly like the ones used in the Sony cameras. I think he uses a microphone that he plugs into it. There are times when there is so much static I cant understand anything he's saying. Other times, it sounds very very clear. I know it isnt my equipment. It's his. I think this happens when he's moving around. Background noise doesnt bother me, I know it isnt background noise I'm hearing. I can tell the difference. Does anyone else have this problem? And is there some kind of filter that he or I could buy to clean this up. I'm using Express Scribe and tried their noise removal program, to no avail.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
JoAnn
They are probably looking for a call-in digital dictation system or
if they have one in their office, a ld service for you to call in and get the dictation.
I certainly would ask and clarify what exactly they are looking for and what they want.
Good luck!
Speed increase on digital dictation
I am switching over from tapes to digital. I am using Express Scribe to play my files. I am used to playing my tapes at a faster speed. I find that on the digital dictations, some of the clarity is lost when I increase the speed. Does anyone else have this problem and do you have any suggestions/solutions? Thanks in advance!
I need some advice on digital dictation systems
I am talking to a psychotherapist about possibly doing her transcription. She does not dictate presently, but is interested in getting started. I am thinking of asking her to go digital, but I don't know the first thing about getting started, what equipment we'll need, etc. I currently work for a national, so they sent me the PC and footpedal, and that was it. Any advice would be so appreciated. I don't wanna sound like a dummy when we talk...thanks y'all!
Digital dictation setup to use with express scribe (sm)
I can't find the post that tackled this subject a month ago. I'm looking to get one of my clients set up on digital dictation. I have on my end express scribe, the headphones and the foot pedal.
I'm either going to set up an upload function on my webspace or have the client email me the voice files.
Can someone recommend an inexpensive recorder that I can purchase for him (I can't afford the $200-$300 recorders) that can have the files uploaded to his PC so they can be sent to me and I can transcribe them on express scribe?
Thanks in advance!!
Does anyone have any info on WinScribe Dictation System?? Not a transcription program but a digital

I do tapes and digital. And I was told if I'm not logged into the digital system, they assume I&
BUT she wants me logged into the system by 9:30 a.m. So I'm confused too. I've decided that I may come back to her and just say I'm not going to do the tapes anymore. I hate the tapes anyway. The voice quality is horrible, it fades in and out. It takes me twice as long to transcribe their tapes than the digital.
It has nothing to do with sites..
Check with your ISP, modem or phone line.

FTP sites...
Does anyone know of any FTP sites that do not have a user fee? I am currently using a software that charges me 0.025 cpl and I find it's a ripoff. I really don't make any money off this software, AND I paid an arm and a leg for this software. Can anyone tell me where I can find an FTP site that does not charge a user fee? TIA.
OB/GYN sites
Can someone tell me of some good OB/GYN sites out there? For that matter, any good specialty sites. I'm fairly new to transcription and still gathering good reference sites.
Thanks in advance!

It's right on their Web sites...
Visit this site, read paragraph 2 and notice the word global. It doesn't appear they are trying to hide anything.

Those are some of what I use all the time.
thanks a lot for these sites
I appreciate you taking the time to give them to me!
But, I can access all other web sites
So, would it really be my Internet Explorer causing the problem???
I use to go to this one web site where I could always log on even during them updating the site but many others could not - some could, some could not. I just have a feeling this may be the same type of thing - something with the website itself or else I would have problems with other websites, wouldn't I? I can access any other website I want but this particular one - wwww.weightwatchers.com
I thought maybe I needed to clean out my cache or whatever as they may have changed something where it keeps using something on my computer that is old/no longer valid in order to access the site but wouldn't everything I have done so far have eliminated a possible problem such as that??? I did not actually go in and delete anything in any cache so I don't know if that may need to be done yet and, if so, I have no idea where to go and/or which one(s) I need to do that with.
Thanks so much for trying to help. I sincerely appreciate it.
Any of you pet lovers seen these sites?

So cute, and so addicting!
Thanks for the sites. I have a question...
I have avoided calling Dell to ask for help with certain issues because I cannot understand them. If I ask them to transfer me to a US office, will they?
cancer sites
I usually use the NIH-National Cancer Institute site. It has listing of clinical trials, types of drugs, different types of cancer treatments. I also depend heavily on the Oncology Word Book by Stedman.
The other sites might as well not exist
They are so self censored that they won't give a company's name, so they might as well not exist. MTStars is the best board on the internet for FREEDOM OF INFORMATION. Posters may say that people are negative on this board, but they are honest and realistic. The other boards are so full of Pollyannas they are virtually worthless -- INCLUDING boards you have to pay by the month.
if they use the BOS on offshore sites.
If so, the AAMT must be making a killing.
I just checked out both of these sites and
there is no rsp.com and the other said the site was under construction. I have heard that VA jobs are the jobs to have, though. Good luck!!
At my clinical sites,...sm
the physicians' handwritten orders are transcribed by the unit clerk into the MAR (medication administration record), or if they are using Meditech they get transcribed into Meditech, again by the unit clerk. Nurses are very savvy on drugs and doses and are expected to question anything that is, well, questionable. A nurse is liable for administering the wrong drug even if the doc ordered it wrong. Both clinical sites I have been at so far were Magnet status - that is a hospital that has undergone extensive credentialing to show superior nursing care. Magnet hospitals have the lowest nurse:patient ratio, which has been directly linked with less deaths and better patient care... just my two cents.
