Is this what the package says?
I didn't get mine yet. They will be "monitoring" us?
No they only do that if you buy the package - sm
that offers that. I get the "upgrade" every other year as I posted below and I get no other "updates" throughout the year. If you buy the top package then Stedmans does do that, but I don't. I can usually get the upgrade for $40-$50 if I wait for the sale offer they usually do. That is good enough for me.
Hun, the "platform" is the package sm
you type in. Dictaphone EXText is a platform, Chartscript is a platform, Careflow is a platform.....all of these PLATFORMS use Word as their word processor.
Word itself is NOT a platform. The person who answered Dictaphone EXText is correct.
I buy it and use it and it is all caps on the package. nm
:
ATT/SBC has an unlimited package. sm
We use it on 10 lines in our office. It runs $54.99 (or something close to that) every month. It is called Total Solutions or Complete Solutions. You have to ask as they do not offer it unless you ask.
He already knows I'm part of the package! nm

Care package ideas
I've been doing care packages for deployed military now for a little over a year. There are great sites where you can get a TON of ideas and can even find folks to support if you don't know someone personally. My favorite is:
www.anysoldier.com
This organization has done a lot and you can search on their site for folks from your states or from a specific branch of the military. In addition to doing many of these myself, our company adopted a unit from our state this last year and it's been great to see so many participating.
TAYLOR all the way now for the WIN. He's the TOTAL package.
Spunk, energy, personality, showmanship, and voice. He's got it all going for him.
Kat should never have gotten this far. She's not singing well and had a bad week. There are songs that she can sing, she's just not well-rounded to do any kind of music.
Lots of people will buy Elliott's CD. He's got a great voice.
I wish they'd publish the vote counts. I can't believe that Chris got the boot! Just shows you how sick this can all get. We'll all be angry if Kat goes on to win. Probably more of the sick "vote for the worst" revenge.
MQ letter/comprehensive benefit package
 I really did not make much of it. It would be GREAT,especially if they can offer something for the part timers, but I'm not holding my breath to hear the news. It's been promised/talked about for forever, sure would be nice to finally hear.
The MT software I use has an accounting package for my docs - SM
My docs can search on the software I use by entering date parameters to see how much their transcription costs are. They can break their transcription costs down by date, by dictator, by type of report, by report, etc.
The first of each month, I e-mail them my invoice; they merely check the accounting package of their software to see if the figures tally up.
This really takes the mystery out of billing for my docs.
The basic Stedman's package is great and they you

I have an Open Office package that came free
It's legit. I bought a refurbished hard drive so that I could run XP as opposed to buying a new computer, and Open Office came loaded. I just don't think it's Microsoft. I don't use it because I use Microsoft Office 2003, but Open Office works very similar to Word and Excel by Microsoft.
I get Sirrus/XM included through my digital TV package,
So I just play it through the home theater system. It rocks
What did you make of the comprehensive benefit package they talked about
URGENT REQUEST: An MT that we sent a box of gifts to did not receive the package.
It was delivered to their porch according to UPS but she did not get it. It contained gifts for her children. Because we did not put insurance on the package, UPS will do nothing to assist. The box alone to ship had cost $45.00 and insurance would have cost another $25.00. It is a sad story, but what it boils down to is that the kids won't have a Christmas. All monies in the Santa's House for Christmas Angels fund have been dispersed through the Christmas Angel program.
So, I am here to ask for help. I would like to raise $150 to $200 today if at all possible and for anyone who donates $10.00 or more to this special cause, I will give a software package that contains a word Expander and spellchecker that is worth over $100.00 for your trouble. Donations can be made to sales@mtstars.com via Paypal.
Again, thank you for your consideration.
care package for military in iraq ideas?? sm
i have a very close friend who is in iraq and i went to send something but no idea what? he ideas or someone know anyone in military and what they like to receive or need? FYI, they are on a ship. TYIA!
I should point out that the benefits package with the pathology group... SM
is significantly better than what I've got right now. They are offering a matching 401K, profit sharing, flexible spending account, healthcare benefits and dental for me and my kids for about 150 per month versus 400 per month where I work now.
Then there is the issue of job security. I'm a realist and I know that in this business of medical transcription, my job could be gone tomorrow due to lost accounts, low work volume, or offshoring. Not to mention, the powers that be at my company could decide that it would be more cost effective to pay their editors per line versus hourly (which has happened to me before) and only offer 4 cpl because after all "we don't actually type all that much."
Maybe I'm paranoid, but I've lost jobs due to all those things I listed. It's upsetting the thought of losing another job. So that is one of my major considerations with this job offer. I'm sure they could offer me a measure of job security because they are a locally owned practice by the physician and all of the the transcriptionists there have been with the practice for more than five years. This position I'm being offered was created because they have increased their work load.
I just don't know. Geez, I hate making big decisions!
Have you tried the Custom Biz Saver package Snow Bunny? sm
It's through AT&T and it's a business plan. C-phones were supported. I used it for a Lanier when I was IC and I was on it a lot, sometimes 10 hours a day. I had unlimited long distance and never had the problems you are having. Problem is you need to sign a contract for 1 year but even with that it was only $10.00 a month more than a residential line.
when you marry a man with children, they are part of the package. You learn to deal with it.

Mouse included in the package lit up right after battery insertion. No on lights
come on when the batteries are inserted and power button doesn't do a thing. Power isn't being transmitted to keyboard for some reason.
where I live, bundle package for HSI/CABLE/PHONE is $99 a month. nm

what size package do you have? i have basic and i couldn't make good lines due to speed. nm

Yes, I lost mine. I upgraded the Office 2000 package to Office 2003. sm
I have over 2000 autocorrect entries and lost them all as well as my supplemental dictionary for my Stedman's spellcheck. Lots of grief!
Maybe you will be lucky and not lose anything. Good luck to you.
Transcend
I've been there almost a year and I've never had a problem with bending my schedule by a couple of hours. They would like you to work the hours you committed to, but no one has ever said anything to me about starting earlier or later or ending my shift a little early. But, I make sure that my lines are adequate before I stop for the day. I have had a couple people tell me that they will get an email or a phone call about working their committed schedule, but it was mostly for people who are not producing enough.
Hope that helps!
No to Transcend
I tried to work for Transcend for 1 month (I also had 2 other jobs transcribing to see which co. I liked to stick with) anyways, I was put on 3 accounts, of which only 1 had work consistently and even that account ran out. And the work I received seemed cherry-picked as I had heavy ESL, which I have experience with, but need high volume to pay the bills! I decided that I would stop working for Transcend and see how long it took for them to realize I no longer was working. Well, about 1 1/2 months later I was still scheduled according to their website, and had received no contact regarding my absenteeism. Eventually, I received an e-mail about missing work. However, even after another 2 weeks, I was still on the schedule and receiving CEO emails, birthday cards, etc... I sent the computer back and am working for a company that knows my name. I figured I would have that experience with a national. At least the co. I'm with now mixes my work with moderately difficult dictators to easy line accounts to compensate. Good luck.
Transcend
Can anybody tell me if Transcend allows you to be "flexible" with the hours you work (meaning, are they very strict about keeping certain hours or are they more lenient about having a flexible schedule as long as you get your hours in)? Also, do they require you to work one day on the weekend on a regular basis? If so, do they give shift differential? Thanks for your replies in advance!
Transcend/Beyond TXT
I know that a lot has been said about the changes at Transcend and their platform for some accounts going to Beyond TXT. It is a VR/typing platform. It has received some negative publicity here on MT Stars. I just want to give another opinion of it for all those who might have or are considering a position with Transcend. I believe some of the posts may have scared some people off.
I have been working on the new platform now for a little while and I have to say that I absolutely love it. The platform has been designed specifically for MTs with many of our suggestions implemented into the making of it. It is quick and very easy to type on. The thing I love the most about it and the company is that they are consistently making changes to it. The changes are generated by emails from MTs who type on it, making suggestions to make it better and better for us. I have never worked for a company that goes to that length for us.
This is my experience at Transcend and I understand not everyone has the same experience. No need to start flaming me for my experience. Just wanted to give my side to the changes that are happening at this great company. And NO I am not management.
But if it is transcend, you will only get about 600
lines a day because of the system being down, overstaffing, and then they will pay you a whopping 60% of what you make because you only "edit."
Any OSI or Transcend MTs out there? (sm)
Have tested for both. Any pros and cons from either (or both) would be greatly appreciated. TIA..
OSI/Transcend...sm
No offense, but read the archives on these two companies...there's not much good about either. I worked for both, and if I HAD to go back to one or the other, OSi would be the lesser of the two evils.
Are you with Transcend?

looking into Transcend
Any info on them before I apply?
Transcend..OSI
Hey all...my husband recently lost his job, so I need to find more work. I'm looking into Transcend and OSI...what is your take on them? Thanks so much
Transcend!
Is anyone able to work??

Transcend/MDI-FL
Transcend bought MDI-FL.
Transcend has an ad out for
night MTs and VR editors for 12 to 15 per hour, but minimum requirement.
Transcend already has more than 80% of its
is doing the same. It isn't just radiology either, it's all work types. I think it's moving along faster than we expected, but it will never replace MT. It will just leave all the unintelligible dictation for the MT.
I am PT with Transcend and I was
told if I need to change my schedule, I must talk to my team leader about it. They need coverage on your committed hours. Otherwise, you need to talk to you team leader.
Are MDI and Transcend one and the same?

Anyone doing VR for Transcend?
If so, is your work load consistent? I see they advertise nearly daily and I am curious about why they have so many openings.
Transcend
Transcend is by far the worst company I have ever worked for so I totally agree with the post above. They treat their employees absolutely horrible and I would never tell anyone to apply for a job there. A lot of promises that are never kept....
MQ and Transcend both use VR

transcend
I am about to start working for them. Anyone know anything about them or OSi?
Transcend
I work on their typing platform and have 7 accounts and NONE have any work!
Transcend
There's no work on the typing platform!
don't know about Transcend
a big difference; if you may, say 7 c/l and do 1000 lines a day, that's $70/day; if you make 9 cpl and do 1000 lines a day, that's $90/day, or $20 more a day, $100 more a week...make sure it's the same line rate though, such as 65-character line with spaces included.
Transcend
Has anyone else had problems with Transcend?
Sorry, that should be Transcend.

Transcend
I just started working for Transcend. Are they OK to work for? I like it so far, just hope I can get up to par. I am kind of old to remember all this stuff.
I believe Transcend had an ad that said they
You may want to contact them.
