MT w/disabilities...it's a legit site
Posted By: Nanna23 on 2005-12-20
In Reply to: Actually, there are some loopholes even to that(sm) - MT
My sister does work through them. She does a lot of VA reports because the VA has to have so much of a percentage of disabled workers doing their transcription. This organization also has agreements with ATT, FTD, etc, many mail order catalogs type of companies where the work can be done with a computer from hom.
She has been with them for 3 years now I think and it is legit.

MTs WITH DISABILITIES!!!!
For those of you MTs that have disabilities, and are stressed beyond belief because all companies seem to want the same production level, no matter what your medical condition might be - Well, there is a GREAT company just for us. www.nticentral.org. It is a very long application. You have to submit to them a doctor's letter stating you are handicapped. You only have to transcribe 40 WPM!!!! My friend sent me an email about this company. I was so jazzed, and am still filling out the application; however, I am waiting on my total disability, and do not want to jeopardize that at all!! Wanted to spread the cheer for those of you that are not waiting on disability, or anything else that might jeopardize getting amy monies. This company sounds fabulous!!
Children with disabilities
I have two children who have mild autism. My husband and I fought the school system for years. The special education department told us, "I can't see your son analyzing novels." He could not multiple, subtract, add, divide, or any simple math that a 9th grader should be able to do. My oldest son is now in 9th grade and has not learned what he should have in public school. After doing much research, we came up with a plan to homeschool our son and he can analyze novels! He is finally learning! We have our work cut out for us as he is many years behind, but he will catch up. We have had such great success with him that we are going to home school our younger son as well. Home schooling is not for everyone. You will know if and when you are ready to home school when you have had enough. It was the best decision we ever made! For us, it was the light at the end of the tunnel!
They seem legit.
When I did an internet search, they were there and nothing stood out with a big red flag. It looked like the startup costs were only like $30. I would be more leery if they had asked for hundreds of dollars upfront etc. They were not listed with BBB..so they could be good..or not I guess, but I think if all you have to invest is time (which sounds minimal) and $30, why not. Now, if they require A LOT of time and more money, I definitely wouldn't be jumping into anything. JMO
MT University Is this legit?

It is most definitely a legit company.
Any smart newbie should jump at it. Five cents per line for basically being mentored is not that bad, especially when you consider all the scammers out there who want newbies to work for free or pay for the privilege of working. I'm sure the company will give raises and work the person into a fulltime job.
Yes, that legit way to do it, too. Just depends

Need legit MT school on line... help!
Hey there,
I'm an RN looking to earn some extra income while at home with my son. I'm finding so many schools on-line that are a bunch of scams! Can anyone refer me to a legit school? Does anyone know of a course that would be geared more towards someone that already has medical experience? I need lots of advice.
His resume doesn't even look legit. The DNA
I wouldn't be suprised if he is doing this for the attention. His resume is so far off the wall I can't believe anyone would hire this wacko!
I considered your question legit as well
Especially in light of what went down the other night, which you mentioned earlier.
Umm, no the OP, but I read the article and it looks pretty legit.
I don't listen to country music, but even if I did, I'd probably boycott the guy. A living thing shouldn't be tortured whether it's tame or wild.
if they're legit, why are older versions still for sale (sm)
If you go to the real Stedman's website, you'll see that even older versions are still being sold - they're not being given away by Stedman's.
At the very least these are bootleg copies that you're not supposed to have unless you paid for them and that means they're not legit in any way.
The SH people have always been helpful and prompt with instructions. Ask them if your copy is legit.

Several companies still train on site. In fact, we are piloting an on-site training sm
program, where everyone would come in to the Keystrokes office to train for 1 or 2 weeks. We have a large training room and feel that this may be a way to cover all aspects of an account, be right there to answer questions as they come up and have one-on-one contact.
It will be optional at this point and may not be more effective as remote training, but some people have expressed that they miss the training that you get when you start at a hospital.
We are trying to bridge that gap between working in-house somewhere and working at home.
It may seem out-dated in many ways, but sometimes going back to basics is a good step to take!
I have noticed sometimes I will try to get into a web site and that site will freeze up and I dont
know if I have too many screens opened up and minimized or what. I tried to open a website sent by email and froze up the email screen. Not sure what I am doing.
I subscribe to another web site and within the boards on this site they have
Would anybody be interested if adminstrators would allow us to have this type of board or even put it on the main board. Like on this other board they tell you to go to a certain web site for a coupon for 20% off Barnes and Noble or when Target has reduced prices on seasonal things. Anybody got ideas or bargains they would like to share to save money? We could call it the MT Stars penny-pinchers board.
need web site
Does anyone have a link for a good website for surgical references, op note references.
other site
unfortunately I'm pretty new here and don't know the other big web site, but would like to know what it is so I, too can see what other MQers are saying about this weekend....
other site
MT Chat
Job site
Does anyone know the site that is from A-Z with MT jobs posted? I certainly do appreciate your help.
what site is it?
buddies at work and it won't copy...
Go on their web site and see what
they really are. (They also provide MTStars.) They are a service for private contractors and service owners so as not to have to buy lots of and lots of electronic equipment but can use their servers, etc. They are not a transcription service, it sounds like to me. If you read what they say, the provide a number for your doctors to call and then you can transcribe it or download it for 10 cents a minue (1 cent a line) and not have to buy a system yourself. At least that is what it looks like to me.
I don't think there is a web site to
check it out - software is developed by in-house tech support. It is not perfect (nothing in this life is) but is a good tool to use in this job and I'm very happy with it. DRC has been a good place for me for the last 2 years or so.
There should be a web site
listing all these crap companies who won't pay. If I bounced a check at my local mom & pop pizza joint, you can bet it would be pinned to the wall for all to see.
However, back to the OP: The thing I would worry about would be the OP getting stiffed for the money AND getting a 1099 that included that sum. That would be a real kick in the pants.
Oh I will look at that site and see sm
if it has the wheelwriter or selectric on there. If so, I will definitely buy it!
on WM's site .. sm
Maybe you just didn't notice it. If you make a quick trip to the website and look at most any item, you should see it. Sometimes says similar items, similar artists, etc.
The story was on MSNBC so I think it is true. I'm surprised so many would jump and call someone else a liar without checking facts first. Washington Post released WM's apology at 8:24 this morning so I'm sure it was in other news segments as well.
FWIW, I agree with the OP that it was probably someone with extra time on their hands up to no good.
Here's one site that has (sm)
some different cuts. Lots of tips on selecting a cut too!
PA site
Try the AAPA website--there's a FAQ portion that tells all about PAs and what they do.

What does FTP site mean?
Thanks!
Does the site have...
XXXXXX If so, I've been banned, too! If so, totally a case of "The Ego Has Landed."
FTP site
Is is difficult to learn how to operate a FTP site and how would one go about it? It is all new to me and I'm a bit apprehensive.
Yes, you can, go to the IRS site and they have - sm
and electronic payment system. You can have money paid to them every week, month, etc. I set up an account and was going to do about $50 a week, but alas I have not made any payments as yet. I usually don't owe though as my DH takes enough out of his taxes to cover mine. I will only start making payments if I go over a certain monthly income, since then I will probably owe and I don't want that.
web site
trying to post to www.homesteadingtoday.com Thanks.
See site....sm
This is where I got the bracelets. http://www.magneticjewelry.name/
Didn't save the ring site so got to find that one again. Don't know about what's in the bracelets, but the rings have worn some and look like them might be copper. They were gold and silver when new, but underside has worn to look like copper. Rings were $13.00 each. Bracelets were probable about that 15-20. Really don't remember. I didn't get the cheapest or the most expensive.
Here's a site that might help..
It has a lot of info on WP12, and some info on default settings. Maybe go to tools - settings - dialog box and see if you change it there.
http://cit.information.unl.edu/tips/wpo12installtips.pdf
Where's the site?
I clicked on the link and there was no article there - I would like to read it - I don't doubt for a minute that it is being done, but I just wanted to read the article for myself.
Web site BOS
I found this web site a few years ago. I've seen little variation from the BOS and what they say here. This print out is very concise with the things you would be looking for the most.
Hope this helps.

Web site
Can somebody point me in the direction of a good web site for cardiology - I have recently started doing PTCA and cardiac caths and have no clue as to the majority of the catheters, guides, etc. Any help will be truly appreciated.
I use an FTP site...sm
For downloading voice files and uploading my completed work. I use FTP Voyager. It is 49.95 initially and costs me 24.95 yearly to renew. I am not a pc whiz and this program is very easy for me to use. I gave you the address below if you want to check it out and see if this is what you are looking for. It is www.FTPvoyager.com I hope this helps. Good luck.
Med site
Thanks! 
Right web site?
I just checked and the website is up...are you sure you were at the right site?
http://www.nch.com.au/scribe/
I have my own ftp site.
Costs about $12 a month but worth its weight! There are lots out there. I use Aplusnet. Good luck!
If you use an FTP site...sm
there would be no need to encrypt the documents. You need a login and password to even get access to them. Of course, if you decide to send them via email, then by all means, it's smart to encrypt them! IMO.
And More Site.....
http://home.adelphia.net/~ktm58/links.html
Some links are broken, but I believe the majority of them are working. 
Not through this site.
I've deleted your claims of receiving emails from us too. If you choose not to be here that's fine, but please don't come around to insult our posters or this site.
