Software to Use to Set Up Digital Transcription Service

Hi Everyone,

Looking for assistance with setting up a digital dictation transcription service.  What is the appropriate software to use for the digital dictation, transcription, downloading voice files, typing reports, uploading reports to facility, HIPAA compliance, etc.  Would like to do this without spending a huge amount of money, but at the same time want to be secure and compliant.  Any and all assistance would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

For those of you using digital recorders iwth your clients, what software do you use to manage sending/receiving dictation and sending transcribed work back?  I use Olympus recorders and have just been using the software that comes with them, but I'm wondering if there is a better way/better software??

I am by no means an MTSO, I have 3 physicians right now and 3 more starting within the next few months.  I do not have any subcontractors or employees.  Is there any better software out there or a better/more simple way to set this up?  Just wondering and any input is greatly appreciated.  Trying to make things as simple as possible for me and the docs. Thanks! 

After 10 years of working for somebody else, I am looking into starting up my own transcription business. Does anyone have any information on low-cost, easy start-up digital software? Thanks!

Anyone know of good software that can take my digital voice files and organize them so I can keep track of which worker is working on which doctor, keep an eye on turnaround time, etc. -- instead of making endless folders on the computer myself. Voice files are separate from the typed reports, which are done in Word. Thank you.

What can anyone tell me about Digital Access Transcription as a company?  I searched the Archives and came up with nothing.  I have not gone to the "other site" yet.  Just wondering in looking for different companies and what they have to offer pros and cons.

thanks

what type of transcription software do you use if you are planning on sending work over the internet.  I currently am working where I have to pick up a tape from a docs office every night.  I would like to pick up another account and would prefer to do it over the internet, but am not sure what company to use?  What type of recorders would the docs need, how do they get their voice files onto their system, send it to a server for me to pick up, etc.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Cheryl

Here is the basic structure:

All work kept in the United States.  Recent graduates of either a 2-year community college program or one of the better distance learning courses. 

We are thinking of opening a combination office/training center.  Half will be recent grads.  Half will be seasoned MTs who like to mentor.

The seasoned MTs will get an hourly with a line incentive as there will be time taken away to be second ear for the newbies, more in the beginning, less as time goes on. 

The newbies will have to be in-house at the company for one year on either 1st, 2nd or 3rd shift.

The newbies will receive either by the line or by the hour, have not decided.

What do you think would be a fair hourly for the new grad?  For the seasoned MT who will be transcribing their own work and mentoring. 

We want to be generous without going bankrupt.

Do you all think the idea is a good one? 

If you could work in house at a company with good benefits would you prefer that to working at home?

Just looking for some input.  It looks good to us, but outside opinions really can be eye-openers.

This is an established company, so there would be plenty of work.  All of our MTs are home-based now, but not sure if everyone really wants to be home-based.  We are near a major metropolitan area, so finding the MTs should not be a problem. 

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

in addition to running MTStars and the donation program. 

Thank you for your patience!

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.

keep track of and will just be a different department. 

It looks like we will work out details over the next 6 months, talking with community college program directors as well as a few of the distance-learning course leaders to work on the recruiting end.

We will train current staff to mentor if they would like to do so and want to work in the office.

We are still working on production requirements, goals to set, pay, benefits and other fine details but we have 6 months to get it all in place with three months to pull it together after that with a tentative start date of 09/01/06.  We need to build the building as well, although that is already at the blueprint stage in a spot next to our current office. 

We did not want to cause flames and bashing by listing the company name as there are always so many negative people on this site, but we are national with over 200 transcriptionists, located outside of Chicago (40 miles west) and have the best team of transcriptionists around!

We will have an "official" announcement after the first of the new year. 

Thank you for all of your feedback and suggestions!

why pay for anything, right?

Except that is AGAINST THE LAW!!!
