I don't even know if they allow this. You should check into that first.

Transcription gear
I use Olympus with the company I work for now and it works well. Transcription Gear has a system that I do not think is quite as expensive. There is Bytescribe as well, and Express scribe (which is free). I think almost any handheld recorder will work with these.
try transcription gear.com nm

I purchased it through Transcription Gear
express scribe thing yet. Have too much work today to fiddle much with it. I appreciate everybody's advice and help on this.
Try Transcription gear.com website.
There should be an instruction booklet that came with the machine. Did you buy it new or used?
I got mine at Transcription Gear.

Transcription Gear FTP Question
Yes I leave Gearplayer and GearXport open all the time. That's how i get my files (GearXport). Have used Transcription Gear and GearXport, and recently GearFTP for 8 years now and love it. I, too, use Word XP but there are help screens in GearXport that help you write rules so that GearXport will direct the files to your clients. Once the files are transcribed and sent via GearXport, I then send the client a notification to pick their files up on Gear FTP. You don't have to do all that cutting and pasting. The rule writing can be quite cumbersome if you have never done it, but the tech support staff at Transcription Gear are very helpful. This really works great and will save you LOTS of time once you get your rules written. Best of luck to you!
Transcription Gear/Xport- sm
We have been using this system for about a year, but have a recurring problem: We send our work through FTP but the office cannot always retrieve it and when I talk to the TG tech support they tell me that they can see that my work is "sitting in the FTP site and that the problem is with the doctor's office. This, of course, does not "sit well" with them and we are now setting up a meeting with their IT person, etc. Has anyone had a similar problem?
Thank you
Transcription Gear has them. Listed under accessories, I think. NM

Transcription Gear user questions - sm
I just started using Transcription Gear/FTP and have some questions.
Do you keep TG open all the time? Do you keep Gear Export open all the time?
How do you send your work to the doctor? Right now I create my document in Word XP, save it, exit, and then go through several steps to paste the document to the medical records FTP site. Seems like too many steps.
Any help with this and/or with TG in general would be most welcome.
Thank you.
I have used a Digital Transcribe Station from Transcription Gear in lieu of a C phone just fine nm
I use Gear Player and Gear Xport. Love them! nm

GearXport / Gear Xport / Gear Player
Hi! Does anyone have a Gear Xport and/or Gear Player they are no longer using and could sell to me? I thought I'd try and buy used before going new. Let me know!
Thanks,
Traci
Approve what? The information used is already part of the medical record and, therefore,...sm
has already been approved or authenticated or whatever one wants to call it.
Anyone using Gear player?
Sounds like a really good package deal, anyone using it? I am thinking of using the digital recorder and buying the gear player package.
TIA,
Sunny
Gear Player is also...
an alternative.
gear player--sm
i downloaded the free 5 day trial of gear player to take a test. Cannot get it to work. The icon is on my desktop, but when i try to open it to drop the voice file in, it only appears for a few seconds and then nothing. any ideas??
Gear Player is the best.
I have been using Gear Player for 4 years now and it just keeps getting better. It plays what I need it to play. I had tried StartStop before Gear Player and it was like I was back on Windows 95. Above all I love Gear Players support department, the guys are very friendly and can fix anything if you ever do need to call them.
Gear Player,
Gear Player, Transcription Gear, several places have those for sale. Also on E-Bay.
GEAR PLAYER---I was going to put it on e-Bay, but...sm
Email me if you are interested. I'll give you a great deal on it! It was brand new when I bought it and used it only for about a month.
Please let me know either way. I need the $$. Thanks!
Now, could you kick my butt into gear? LOL
I don't wanna work today. Not sure if it's the rainy weather or if it's just my total lack of motivation!
I am sure it was..i was just in high gear..going to fast to think LOL!

Gear Player is one that's used often. Need to purchase it. nm
s
I bought Gear Player
a few years back and it's been really good. Just throw the file in there and transcribe away. Check it out. Their latest model is probably even better.
Help with Gear Player linking
I'm trying to do a test file, which I haven't done in a long time, and the only footpedal I have is Gear Player. The sound file was sent on Windows Media Player. Are these compatible? Because I can't get this footpedal to link to it. Bear in mind I'm technically challenged and usually have help setting these things up. I found a foot pedal test picture that lit up when I pressed each of the three footpedal controls, so the problem seems to be that I don't know how to link it to Windows Media Player, or else this foot pedal is incompatible.
VPEDAL AND GEAR PLAYER
Help plz.. does anyone use the VPedal (from Career Step) and use it with Gear Player? I can get it to work with Express Scribe, but not Gear Player. It it even compatible? Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks!
VPEDAL AND GEAR PLAYER
Thank you Gail! I am sure they can help.
Gear player or Bytescribe
Gear player vs. bytescribe... which is the more versatile?
I am currently using start/stop, but the voice files I get it will not let me speed them up. Dives me INSANE to listen to a sssssllllllllooooowwwwww dictator and not be able to speed them up.... actually would like to go whomp them up the side of the head  .. but since that is not an option...
Looks like Gear player you can buy just the software, but Bytescribe you have to pay another 50 bucks and get the foot pedal.. no option that I could find not to.
Thanks for any suggestions you all might have to offer.
Gear Player vs Express Scribe
could anyone please explain to me the difference between these two?? Express Scribe is free, but when am I missing something as to why I would pay to have Gear Player? they seem awfully similar..thanks.
Express Scribe, Gear Player, etc.
I have used Express Scribe for years and love it. I had to restore my Win XP computer and now it will not play the .dss files. I also have Express on my Vista without problems. I have done everything that I know to do to get it to work, installed an older version, downloaded the .dss files, etc. I am currently having to work on Gear Player or use my laptop to play the sound files. What else is everyone using out there besides Express, Gear, or Bytescribe?? Any help would be appreciated!
nope i'm goin, i've got my hula gear
 weee bye ya'll
License
I shouldn't have said insurance, that is always the misleading on my part and I'm trying to work on that. If it's not insurance, then why would I need to be licensed? And again, as far as the providers, check the website to see if there are any providers next to you. I always check before I sign up a new member to make sure they will be able to use the benefits.
LIcense
Have been doing this for 15+ years and when I first called the City of Portland, they said no, but they have since changed their lawa and now I need one. Pay a percentage of what I make per year on the net. But each city could be different but if you want all the advantages of being a business with write-off's etc. you gotta pay. I have absolutely no traffice to my house,. my subs work in their own home but still need a City of Portland busoiness license. Sorry if I made typo's as I am typing without my reading glasses -- kind of like being blind.

PS check with your state about registering your name of business also.
Getting an IC license?
 How do you go about getting your IC license? I'm in Montana. Thanks!
license
I don't know, I don't need a license where I live at all. I checked with an accountant who deals with MTs and I just get listed as a sole proprieter and that's it. If I hire subs I just file 1099s but I don't need any kind of incorporation or license or anything. You should check with someone locally. Sometimes the library has help for small business people but you'll probably save yourself some frustration by asking around to find someone who knows something about MT.
IC license
In my state, you have to have an independent contractor's license, which you obtain through your state's Dept. of Labor & Industry (or whatever it is called in your state). The doctors' offices I have contracted through also wanted me to show that I have liability insurance. If you work for an MTSO, I don't know that they would require the liability insurance and you should probably ask them.
Thanks for all the feedback...time to kick it into high gear, I guess..nm

Business license...sm
You'll probably need an Occupational License if you'll be filing as self employed on your 1040. Check with your local state or city tax department. I live in Florida and I'm required to have an OL from both my county and my city and both must be renewed yearly.
My dog has a driver's license. sm
He loves to chase cars, but the high gas prices have forced him to get a job so he can continue.
Business license
My attorney says it does not make a difference if you are working out of your own home or not. If you have an income-generating business, you need a business license. The best thing to do is to call your local Department of Business Registration in your own city and ask.
I live in VA too and have to have a license
Not sure why the person above says she doesn't have to have one. I checked with my local office for the Commissioner of Revenue and they stated that I DO need one if I am working out of my home. Both of the local companies that I work for insisted that I have a business license also before they would send me any work. Just make sure you check with the appropriate people so you don't get into trouble later down the line. My license is only $40 a year, so it's not bad at all.
Business License
As you see, there is a lot of controversy with this business license issue. Do I or don't I? Many factors are involved. I live in Ohio and I also have many friends who have their own businesses and they advertise in the yellow pages. One friend has had a chimney sweep business and still does for the last 15+ years. He was not required to obtain a business license... his social security number is his license number used for reporting all income to the IRS. He also occasionally has a few friends who help him with chimney inserts and he pays them by check with his business name printed on those checks. He simply reports and pays all taxes, even city taxes due to the fact he works for many residents throughout several cities in this state. He deducts just about everything and anything you could possibly think of also. I would think after doing this for 15+ years, he would have been in trouble if it were not legal, especially since he is a fire fighter still working for the city he lives in. In working for MQ, you can also deduct any office supplies you purchase in order to do your job, i.e., even when they used to charge rental fees for you to use their computers when you or if you were statuatory or PT. Moving forward, I also know a friend of my family who is close to 65 years old, also living in this state, and he has been an IC for over 30 years. He is a journalist for a few outdoor magazines, charges his fees, advertises, and also works for a major company here as an IC.......all without a business license. Again, just a formality of making sure you report any and all income. After 30 years, he would have had an audit by now. I agree with everyone that it depends on what state you live in and/or city. Good luck and I hope you find the answers you are looking for.
Unfortunately, the license is required sm
I have never had to have one, but the clinic I am going to work for requires it. It is a lot of hassle, and I can't wait until it's over and done with :)
Problem with PDM License key ??
I have been offered to work for a transcription company from a friend (she knows the boss) and have already installed Gear Player on my computer. The boss sent me a Philips Digital Pocket Memo disc to help me hear the sound and during installation it asks me for the "License Key." I don't have it or the book or anything with a number in it. I called this boss and she said the book was lost and for me to contact the Philips company. I did via email and I left a voicemail and hope they call me tomorrow (Monday, 10/2). Shouldn't she have handled this since she bought it? grrrr I'll see how far I get with the Philips people and if I can't then I'll ask her to please call. I'm near to Gear Player but if I can't install this disc and do some work (I need the $$ badly!) I'll have to look on the job board for any that require this. Signed_ Frustrated but Ready MT of 23 years experience!
Business license
You need to check with your city and state to see what you need. Portland, OR tried to crack down on some IC's especially if you declare yoursef as a small business. 16 years ago they said no, now they say yes. I just did it this year to be safe and legal. I also registered the name of my company with the state. Good luck.
What is a gearplayer license?
How is this obtained?
business license in GA
I live in GA and I have been told by my city hall that I have to purchase a business license, (which I've been doing for a few years now). Now they want to tax all my office equipment on a yearly basis as well as want me to pay for the yearly business license. I tried explaining to them that I do not run a business from home, that I just work for someone (as an IC). They told me it does not matter. Okay, I can see having to purchase a business license (whatever), to be compliant with the law, but the fact that they now want to tax my equipment every year; that's going over the line, in my opinion.
License transfers
When you buy software you buy the license to use it. You can use Instant Text on more than one computer if you are the only user.
You can transfer your Instant Text license to another person (sell the software) by notifying Textware Solutions - once you sold IT - that you are no longer using the software and that you transfer your software license (which includes tech support) to the new user providing name and email of the new user.
The new user should make sure she/he gets the media, the book, and the registration number which is necessary to receive tech support and Upgrade prices on later versions.
Version 1.11 came out in 1996. Nobody is using Windows 3.5 anymore. Why would you buy an obsolete version?
As for Version III Pro, you also will be buying a software that is 10 years old. I know, many Instant Text users are still very happy with it, but they have received the tech support when they needed it, and don't mind that it is not available anymore.
When you look for an expander, consider the quality/price and compatibility equation. You may have to pay more, but you get advanced technology, and compatibility won't be an issue.
I hope this information helps.

Anyone required to have bus. license...sm
to work as IC? Was going to work for company, but require I have a business name and license. Also pay per page and not per line. Never ran across this before.
IC need business license?
No one responded to previous post. Maybe I worded it wrong. Company wants me to get a business license to work for them. Has anyone had to do this or required to have this?
Yes, must have business license
This can be obtained at City Hall for a minimal fee, and then renewed each year according to either city fee or based on gross earnings. Different states and cities have different rules. For example, I am not allowed any foot or car traffic and cannot even post my business name outside on the mailbox. I also had to get my landlord's authorization.
Yes, I require this from transcriptionists. It shows me they are working at a professional level and not just someone setting up shop in their living room, and then recklessly turn in low-quality work, or worse yet pad their invoices repeatedly. It is also required by law. You have to claim your income to the IRS.
If you use your name as your business, then you do not have to file a DBA, but you need a separate bank account for work. I would still file my name if used. Hope this helps.
