I was offered a position and needed feedback from current employees if possible. Since I have to travel to New Jersey at my own expense for training, it would be helpful to know if they are a good company to work for. Thanks in advance.

Can anyone give me info on Silent Type? Thanks
re:silent type
i applied with them and they replied quickly. but unless you live close to new jersey, they need you at their office for, if i remember right, a 2-day training that they reimburse up to $500. i live in Hawaii so i couldnt afford the trip even with the reimbursement. but, heard a lot of good things about them.
Silent type
What do you need to know?
Silent Type YES!! (sm)
I have worked for Silent Type and they are flexible with a 24 hour TAT... Meaning you could start Sunday night and have ur pages done before Monday (whenever your call in time to have minimum 40 pages done). The are a basically family oriented company. I have nothing but good things to say. They never run out of work. Have been in business almost 25 or 25+ years. Plus, the CEO is an author, RN, and much more!!

Thank you for the info. I had read in the archives some negative posts. This puts my mind at ease.

This company left an E-mail on my computer...never heard of them. They are promising everything and more, of course.
Any thoughts about them or experience with them?
Thanks

Silent Type was one of the companies that offered me a job. They were in my top five best companies from which to choose. I didn't choose them, only because I would have had to fly to New Jersey for a minimum of three days to train. I have a husband, two kids, and two dogs at home; being gone from them for that long would have seriously disrupted our "routines." Silent Type will reimburse you, up to $500.00, for your travel expense AFTER you've been with them for six months. Also, their payment system seemed kind of funky to me. They pay by the page, instead of by the line. According to my calculations, I would not have made as much money as I need to; however, my calculations may have been "off." Anyway, I'm happy with the company I chose. Let us know what you decide to do. :)

Thanks Jan. I e-mailed the recruiter asking about training, page/lines, etc., and you're right. They pay by the page....their training is in N.J. (I'm in Calif.) and as far as I can see the 500.00 pertains to their equipment....I nicely told her no thanks. It might be OK for somebody else, but not for me. And, I sure don't want to go to N.J. in the winter!
Silent Type is not a bad company to work for but
Depending on how many pages you type determines what your page rate is and everyone gets paid the same because of it. Obviously, like with any other company the more you produce, the more money you will make. Bi-annual bonuses, again based on your production. Starts at 40 page per day min (which is supposed to be 1000 lines) is $1.50. I think it does to 1.80 per page somewhere around 80 pages per day.
Not sure about the benefits (health insurance). You get paid every other week. Not a very large company, maybe 400 or less TLs.
If you like working for a friendly, family atmosphere, check it out.
Not Silent Type! Less than $1.75/page and you go to NJ to train. nm

Mostly silent
Once in awhile I have the radio on but rarely. Used to have it on all the time, but I do constant ESL now. I do a lot of messenging with other MTs just to keep the boredom away. :)
Has anybody ever tried the silent keyboard that can be
rolled up like a newspaper? If not, any suggestions for a good silent keyboard.
silent keyboard
Hi
I sell silent keyboards - check us out at - www.clitheroelancs.co.uk - admittedly it does take a couple of days to familiarise yourself but the keys dont need to be pressed hard. The difference is that there isnt the noisy feedback associated with standard keyboards. PS we have a silent mouse arriving this week, i am using the prototype & its great but the lack of a click is a bit strange at first.
silent keyboard
Does anyone know if there is a silent keyboard made or a very, very quiet one?
silent. hmmm... cat got your tongue?
IMHO, you don't want silent...you want quiet. sm
Keyclicks do provide important feedback.
I do not have any compromising stories about him, but lemme tell you about a silent partner doctor

don't type double spaces. Type single. Then no one will be cheated.

I can type with wine, can't type with coffee, though...too jittery.

That is, type the code above before and after what you want bolded in the text-to-type box. nm

For me it isn't an account type but a dictator type ...
and that would be oriental. An oriental dictator (hahaha, that kind of sounds funny...hahaha) is the most challenging for me.
No, you don't type directly into ES. You type in Word -
or whatever their platform is, just like you did with your tapes.
Then you do your line count in Word or the platform.
You should type them. I usually type them in parentheses following the diagnosis.

remind me, type what they say, type what they say, type....
"He indicated that at the beginning of the year he complained of health problems recently but has gotten better." C'mon doc, which one is it?????
Shorthand users: Is there a way to type a word, use a slash and then type another word..sm
immediately following the slash and have it expand. For example if I needed to transcribe mass/sebaceous cyst, is there a way to use my expanded sebaceous cyst without having to back space after I type the slash mark? TIA
Right above where you type (SM)
There is a "T" with a colored block. You can highlight the text you want to color, click on that block, and then click on the color you want to make it. :)
I hope your kitty will be around for more years to come. I know 19 is very old for a kitty. :( It's hard to think about losing one of our "babies."
Take care,

TV on while you type?
Do you keep the television on while you type? I think I would get alot more done if I would stop watching TV and stop surfing the web!
If you don't know what type you have,
you probably don't have an FTP server. You would have to know that to set it up and configure it.
FTP stands for file transfer protocol, which just means that it's a way to upload and download files from a server using the Internet. If you'd like free FTP software for a potential job, you can download CoreFTP for free from Download.com at the following link.

how would you type this?
How would you type "section 8 housing"? Would it be Section 8 housing, Section -8 housing, Section-8 Housing or Section 8 Housing?
TIA

you type what?
Ummmmmmm, okay! LOL!
you never type don't or can't but only do not and cannot etc...lol
If all you have to do is type....
and they do all the rest (if you are subcontracting through a service), after the 25% take, they are paying you 9.75 cents per line and that is better than most national companies. Plus, hopefully, you do not have to learn 100 or more dictators! If this is the case, go for it!
USA TYPE
Does anyone have any info on USA TYPE? Thanks
USA TYPE
Has anyone heard back from USA type after they have tested for them? thanks
usa type
I think she must have gotten a big response to the job post and hopefully is just sorting things out.
usa type
How long after you took the test were you called?
usa type
that's interesting . . . sheri told me herself last January that she was selling her medtrans business and wouldn't be hiring any more. . . . .
type it
it doesnt matter if it is someone you know. you still have a job to do while adhering to patient confidentiality.
we have to type it out now? aw man
nm
Just my type ....
Believe me, he'd approach me in a bar .... Just like the late 60's fella with the hot pink sport jacket, rug on his head, and POLYESTER black slacks .... and this was not THAT long ago!! LOLOLOL
type OP.

Type what they say
I was taught to fix them a little bit if needed. Of course, I work in a teaching hospital and you can do that. With the foreign docs, they don't make any sense sometimes and get words wrong. We can fix them, but if they are hard dictators, we just type what they say and let them worry about it. I have been thanked for doing this for 19 years.
Is it Type 2 or Type II?
I have been typing Type 2 because I thought it changed but just got corrected.
Type 2
It's Type 2. At www.diabetes.com and www.diabetes-facts.com they both have it as Type 2. Even if you search for Type II and logon to their site they have it as Type 2. The main thing is how your MT company or physician prefers you to type it.
Type 2
AAMT (2nd edition) shows type 2 diabetes mellitus

i got a call thurs from ann at all type in response to my resume, called her back 3X and she's never called me back. not impressed.
My dog is in my lap as I type this
Was thinking of getting a second dog so he would have someone to play with but after reading your post, that may not be the case! Don't you love it when then sleep? Yup, a tired doggy is a happy doggy.
Why do they always type like

Good luck to you!
Just type what they say.
