something like ChartScript, I thought.   Maybe I am wrong, but I can't see Giselle outsourcing to India or anywhere else, but who knows, maybe.   I have been wrong before.

    You are right when you say Arrendale is a software program. sm
    This person apparently is trying to stir up trouble, apparently has nothing better to do than to try and stir it up. It won't work on this one because Arrendale is a software program. Back when YOG was around, the owner of YOG had signed an agreement with the then Arrendale Associates (who originally started out in NC). They sold the software or whatever to this co, but IT IS ONLY SOFTWARE.
    They say their MTs are in the US. That is fact. Arrendale is a software program. sm
    If the company that owns Arrendale is in India, so what? It is a software program just as is Vianeta, which they also use for their work. JLG does not outsource their work.
    What software program are you using?

    What software program are you using to run the foot pedal? I downloaded Express Scribe (free) and my Infinity foot pedal works great with that.


    I hope you find the problem. I know how frustrating things like this can be. Keep us posted.

    can you suggest a good software program

    to compare with the line counts being given by the hospital?  I am also in the same boat, but I can access my line count.  I would like an independent way of counting my lines, because you never know, right?  What a world. 


    Line count software/program

    I am in need of a new line count program.  Mine is on a floppy disk (yes, it's that old) and I no longer have access to a floppy drive.

    Which HIPAA E-mail Software Program for OE is easiest/best?

    I provide service for an office of three OB-GYNs and the OM/docs may be willing to consider going from hand-held microcassette to hand-held digital recorders (mean no more pickup-delivery of dictation/transcription for me!). I would like to utilize a very (hopefully) simple HIPAA compliant encrypted E-mail program for transferring of files in Outlook Express that will work on my own computer as well as the office's Linux network.

    I have found one that appears to offer all of the above features I am looking for and seems reasonably priced called CenturionMail, found at the link provided.  Is anyone familiar with this program and/or any others that they would highly recommend? I need something simple as we are all new to this adventure.

    My goal is to some day be on the road in our RV, setup with a laptop, and felt an E-mail program would be my best choice for utilizing a campground's Internet connection for uploading/downloading of files. Any thoughts on this?


    Thanks for any feedback you can offer me. I sincerely appreciate it.


    C-phone + Word versus software program
    What I'm trying to say is that it seems more time consuming to use a C-Phone and Word rather than a software program because everything is just a click away with a program, whereas with a C-phone and Word you have to dial in, do paperwork, send work through e-mail, create templates, etc, etc.  Seems much more efficient to use a program thereby saving time and making more $$$.  (You can probably tell I'm still fairly to this). TIA
    Ask the techs where you work. Probably software issue with their program. nm

    Line counting software - Need a good program. Have used MPCount in the past, but now
    cannot download the old one, as it has been replaced by some new version, which I don't like. Can anyone recommende a good line counting program. Thanks.
    Phone Tools is a Bvrp software program that allows you to not only fax and receive data/documents v
    your pc (including coversheet and confirmation of date/time received), but can also act as an answering machine.  It's a very good product.  The receipient/s just need to make sure that their fax machine is turned on and has a paper supply loaded (thereby saving you the expense of purchasing reams for this purpose).  If you expect to receive faxes, you also need to be sure that the program is running and set the control to fax modem, rather than answering machine.
    A WAV pedal controls playback of voice files. You need a software program through which to play the

    The term "WAV pedal" has become a generic term. The software that you use will determine the file type(s) that you are able to play on your computer. You use either a pedal or hot keys (Fkeys) to control that playback. As stated below, Express Scribe is one such software program and it is free. It can be found by clicking on the link below.


    Arrendale platform
    Is anyone familiar with the Arrendale platform?  Easy to learn?  Easy to make line count?  How is it when compared to ExText?  It requires its own footpedal; is it a pain to switch back and forth between these programs multiple times per day?  Thanks in advance for your input. 
    Invoices. Does anyone have a good invoice software program they use other than MPCount invoice?
    I am looking for something professional and easy to use. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    But there was an article where JLG has a contract with Arrendale/CBay, Indian
    read on an old MTChat thread where a QA Editor said that JLG was offshoring 60% of their dictation.  Comments anyone, please? I do not want to get involved with yet another company that is outsourcing overseas.
    Maybe there is a misunderstanding.

    I wasn't complaining.  I simply posted my opinion to the poll, to which someone asked why I thought the economy wasn't so great.  I replied with facts:  The cost of food HAS gone up.  The cost of prescriptions HAS gone up.  The cost of gas HAS gone up.  The cost of medical insurance HAS gone up, and they were saying on the news (all stations) that consumers can expect up to 71% increase in heating bills this winter.  Yet more and more medical transcription companies are going VR and the MTs are taking cuts in pay.  Those are all facts that cannot be disputed.  The rent factor may not have increased everywhere, but in S. Fla. it has gone through the roof because of a housing shortage. 


    Why is it that someone (you?) can state that because unemployment has gone down the economy is so wonderful, but when I show that it isn't quite true, I'm complaining?   Does that mean that every time Bush gets on the TV and talks about all the problems in the Gulf Coast  or in the middle east he's complaining??  Since you keep adding to this string, are you complaining too?  I'm happy for ya that your bills haven't increased.   But, I don't quite believe you either.  Unless in the last 4 years you haven't bought any food, prescriptions, or gas, and unless you don't have health insurance, your costs have gone up too.  You may not be part of that 4.9% on unemployment, but your cost of living has increased. 


    Yes. I think there has been a misunderstanding. (SM)
    What should NOT be posted here are other chat/posting forums for MTs. Other MT websites are not to be promoted.

    Informational sites for drugs, terminology, etc., absolutely! Share away!
    Maybe a misunderstanding?
    I didn't say it's not worth it to me to make the effort. I'm just saying that we should ask for/demand in both our professional and our personal lives, to deal with people we can communicate with.
    Misunderstanding?
    I kinda got the feeling the OP was referring to the posters who try to tear other posters (ones who are happy with their employer, their job, offer positive suggestions, etc). If you read some of the threads, you'll see precisely what I'm referring to - pretty much comments which hold the sole purpose of belittling or humiliating other posters, or even straight out calling them liars, etc. It's disturbing, to say the least.

    I don't think the OP meant everyone should pretend to be happy when they aren't or that someone shouldn't be able to vent if they need to. There's a huge difference between venting such as you have done and viciously attacking the character of another poster.

    Anyone who needs to vent should be able to do so here, and should be able to expect some support and perhaps even some helpful advice. To me, one of the best features of this board is the ability to do just that - Vent, let off some steam, get some advice or at least a few shoulders to momentarily cry on, and then carry on.

    I'm so sorry you're at such an unhappy place right now and hope things start to look better for you VERY soon. Venting such as you've done should always be encouraged. Sometimes we only have each other to vent to, and sometimes the anonymity of it makes it easier to do so. We're all in the same proverbial boat and should be able to turn to our fellow/sister MTs for encouragement.

    Best of luck to you, and I truly hope things start getting brighter for you!!!
    I think you are misunderstanding what
    EMR is. We've had EMR for years in most hospitals and the bigger clinics. It just means the records are stored on computers where the physicians can access them from anywhere rather than having to have the paper chart. It has nothing to do with HOW the records get there in the first place. It doesn't mean the doctors will dictate directly onto the system with no editing, etc. I don't see this or VR as a threat because we all know it's impossible for doctors to do this without us correcting it & they certainly aren't going to want to waste their valuable time doing it either...
    I think you are also misunderstanding
    If you are working for an MT Service of course it is mandatory that you work more than 1 account.  The fact that you are so meticulous in producing a professional legal document is what is slowing you down of course, but that is a good thing!!  Now you just have to do that on other accounts as well when requested.  We all do.  You are building on your knowledge and skill level.  I was typing on 5 accounts at my last job.  You have to work where the work is needed and I don't see how you can **legally** tell your employer you do not want to do that.  If you stick with it, you will become faster - just make sure you stay accurate.  This is not abuse from your employer.  This is certainly expected of all MTs.
    Wait, I think there is a misunderstanding ...
    The company can "pay" on the 10th and 25th as expected.

    When those funds become available to you depends on how often your bank updates its deposit files. Nowadays (yes, I know - I hate to use that word..lol), banks are in such competition that most build their deposite files at least once daily (first thing in the morning) and some twice daily (late evening as well).

    MQ has the money there and your bank can "see" in their banking system the upcoming transaction as soon as it is transferred, which is usually 2-3 days ahead of the "pay date". Your bank must update its files for you to have that money accessible by ATM, debit card, or online banking. Often a bank will go ahead and cash your check at a teller's window when they can "see" the pending transaction...but until the files are built and filed, access to that deposit will not be available.

    Call your bank and ask to talk to the bookkeeping department and have them tell you how often they build their deposit files. It shouldn't take more than about 1-1/2 hours once they build the files for you to have access to your money.
    I was misunderstanding that as an interpretation of it but..
    I still have to go back to the BOS because, let's face it, that's what 99% of us are supposed to use as our rules, whether one agrees with it or not, and more than likely it is what will be used for QA.
    "Though they represent a plural quantity, units of measure are collective singular nouns and take singular verbs." BOS, third edition, page 97. Since the OP wanted to know a QA answer, I think I'd stick with BOS.

    You are misunderstanding what a collective noun is.

    "Some nouns refer to a group but are singular in form. These nouns are called collective nouns. In American usage, a collective noun takes a singular verb when it refers to the collection considered as a whole."


    Your problem is you are not understanding what a collective noun is.  A collective nouns are a special class of nouns that name groups [things] composed of members [usually people].  Example:  Team, class, Army, etc.


    Twenty units of Pitocin were given.  --- Still correct because units is not a collective noun.  If "unit" meant a group of units, then you be correct.  However, unit is singular and units means more than one unit.


    no misunderstanding at all. you want things your way and you run crying to "mom" or authority
    I don't really mind your posts, but what you are doing now makes me wonder about your sanity. It's like my kids when they don't get their way. They come crying to me and want me to intervene and they try to cause trouble for the person who won't give in. That's what you are doing. You lost me on this battle Dano.
    You're misunderstanding how toll free call in
    services work.  You can't just get some long distance service at 3 cents a minute. Where are the doctors supposed to leave their dictation?  We have software that answers, prompts for the dictator ID and password, then keypad functions the doctor uses to leave their dictation.  Then, those dictated files are provided to the transcription service via FTP.  So, our service, at 9 cents per minute is the cheapest on the market offering these features and we do not require a large amount of minutes per month like other toll free call in services do.
    Yeah, you're right. Who cares who licenses your software? Heck, I use all pirated software anyw

    why pay for anything, right?

    It will count everything if you go in the settings and program it to. Good program!
    Sylcount is an awesome and accurate counting program also. That will count everything if you "tell it to".
    You can use Shorthand in ANY program, it works outside your program
    I have never found a platform it did not work with and I have worked on several different versions of Meditech. Just start using it.
    Another big factor is software. If the software isn't
    transcription friendly, it can really hurt your bottom line.

    Otherwise, $1.20 per report is a pretty decent rate for radiology.

    Good luck - hope it works out for you.

    NEW SOFTWARE

    I have been out of the loop lately.  What is this new software?  I am currently looking for a medical transcription job and need a little catching up, obviously.  I would REALLY appreciate a reply on this issue. 


    software
    I work for a company that uses it and it's very simple to use.  I edit 90% and transcribe 10% and it's very simple to use.  Basically it's microsoft word with all the bells and whistles.
    Software

    I have used both Quick Books and Quicken and prefer Quick Books for invoicing, etc.  I have two checking accounts, personal and business of course, and pay my business bills through there -- even by subs and that downloads into Quick Books which can be downloaded into my Turbo Tax.   Also on my personal side that gives me my utilities payout total also and I can then just deduct my 20 to 25% of them for my taxes.   Works for me. 


     


    software
    A place called Webchart contacted me and had a lot of the features you are looking for but it was quite expensive and I knew my docs would not go for it.  I could not afford several hundred dollars a month for it.   But you might do a goggle and see what comes up but the company name was webchart. 
    a/v software

    aside from the fact that it's probably true..!!  hehe.


    if anyone wants info a a terrific a/v proggie, please off-list (e-mail) me, and i will send the link.


    Software Available
    I am using a sotware that is designed by me. Let me know your email ID, I shall send you my software.

    VR software
    I work for a company who is a major developer of voice recognition software.  I do transcription for them also and some reports are done with the voice recognition software.  Yes, it is like basically editing.  That is unless you get a dictator with a heavy accent and the software even has a hard time understanding.  The dictators have to go through a training period and the software actually learns their voice and speech patterns.  The hard medical words it usually gets with no problem, but the smaller everyday words don't come through correct all the time.  Some doctors are great, others should not be using it at all.  It makes for quite an amusing report at times.  I know it is the way of the future but I personally would rather type the report myself than try and edit some mess.

    Is there any software out there....
    that performs like a Dictaphone or C-phone where you can dial into a system with your computer and control the dictation with a foot pedal?  My Dictaphone is going haywire, and I was wondering about some kind of computer software to replace it, if there is such a thing.

    What the best software to use?
    Me and a couple of my MT friends have decided to make a small little MT company. You know just the three girls, made a lil pamplet and all. We're hoping by banding together we can met new clients ect. I was wondering what Mt software -for when the clients upload the audio files-should we use? We're on a budget and can't afford the 2,500 SW that's we've seen online. ANy suggestions?
