I think they are actually dictating to a transcription service (Baker Sten-Stel) via C-phone
then they e-mail back to the doctor's office for me to type. So maybe it will go back to them for QA. Why I don't know. This work cameto me from a temp service and they obviously did not know much. I will find out Monday morning. Thanks for your input. I will more than likely be on this site screaming for help. The AOL question was just in case I can get them to use my home office next time, because I just switched to DSL through AOL and I was hoping that would would work with Express Scribe, my footpedal and their software.
Sten Tel in MA uses
I am having the same problems as listed above.
Sten-Tel does

Sten-Tel
Well! I screwed that one up pretty good - stuck my email in there, spelled a word wrong...LOLOL....just beautiful.....anyway, I do like Sten-Tel and they have been great to me so far!
Sten-Tel
I think the rate of pay for beginners is kind of low - I heard 3 cpl for VR/6 cpl for typing....I get a little higher pay because I had acute care. The platform is called Escription - very very easy.
Sten-Tel
I am a beginner and was just offered 7.75 cpl for transcription work and 3.75 cpl for editing. I think it depends on how you score. Just my opinion.
Sten-Tel
WOW - I'm sorry to hear that!! Sure sounds characteristic of this business, unfortunately. Thank you very much for the information. Please let me know if you think of anything else. 
Sten-Tel
7.5 cents a line is very good for a beginner. You should be lucky you got offered a position, since most companies want experience
Sten-Tel
Does anyone work for Sten-Tel who could help me out. This is my first day.
TIA

Try Sten-Tel
They hire newbies. I can also email you some info.
Here's why I wouldn't use Sten-Tel
They also do transcription, which I believe to be a huge conflict of interest. I may be a bit paranoid, but if my clients ever figured out that they could use the same system and get cheaper services from the root company, what would keep them from ditching me and going with Sten-Tel?
If they are a reputable company I doubt that they would actually contact my clients directly, but you never know when your clients are going to decide to try and underbid you by going with a big company like this.
No work at Sten Tel
 No work for weeks and nobody knows why (supposedly)........ ..................... ......................... ................... ............................. .................... That's ok...I'm gonna start testing elsewhere  . The pay stinks anyhow.
Love Sten-Tel
No line count required if an IC. So far they have been the best company I have ever worked for.
Sten-Tel out of Massachusetts
I'm looking for any information I can find out about Sten-Tel based out of Springfield, Massachusetts? Are ICs obligated to a set schedule, set number of hours/lines, etc. Do they have a lot of ESL dictators? How flexible are they?
Thanks tons!! I'll look forward to hearing from you.
Has anyone ever heard of Sten-Tel...
I tested and got accepted at 7.5 cpl but would like any info on the company and what they may be like to work for...
Sten-Tel question
Can anyone give me any info on working as IC for Sten-Tel - good or bad?
It depends on which Sten-tel. There are several of them.
I've worked for two of them. One was not very good but I was a newbie, so I tolerated it until finding something else. The other one was pretty good, but I had a better offer elsewhere so I wasn't even there a week.
Which one are you looking at?
Testing For Sten-Tel
Has anyone tested for Sten-Tel? The second test for acute care is like listening to a auctioneer!! Uggh...Has anyone actually passed this test?
Hugs to all!
Jen
Anyone work for Sten-Tel?
Do any of you work for Sten-Tel? I was thinking of accepting their offer, but could not find any recent posts about this company. Would appreciate any information what it is like to work for them.
Thanks! 
Sten-Tel Mass. - out of work?
Anyone else with Sten-tel on the ASP platform out of work or is it just me that is sitting here twiddling my thumbs?
I like Sten-Tel, working out of folders. I have worked Vianeta before and it was slow and
:l
MDI Florida, Medical INK, AccuStat Carolinas, Proveras, Sten-Tel, Focus,
and I think that is all. Maybe someone else can list others - these are the ones I know.
Good luck.
Agree, verbatim transcription equals poor quality transcription.

Know AIM transcription system, never heard of Hull transcription. Are you sure
you are not thinking about DHull who is a recruiter for MDI-FL? They use the AIM system.
Transcription/QA pay
What is the average hourly pay for such a combo position? Southeast and Northern regions. TIA
how do you know who does their transcription? nm
Has anyone ever used transcription
equipment or heard of company Infoware? Hospital is looking at buying new equipment and just wanted to know any feedback on how easy to use.
Actually, transcription should go away
The electronic forms make a lot more sense. Who wades through those piles of records anyway? I'm not sure the whole narrative serves any purpose but perhaps in the courtroom. I'd like to think that dictating about the patient and his/her history helps clarify everything in the treating physician's mind, but I don't think anyone gives more than a cursory glance to the record later. And perhaps when looking for mechanism of injury, a brief narrative helps out... But I'm not sure we are really necessary. All that said, what are we going to do for a living now? Not all of us are 10 years or less from retirement.
OSI transcription?
Anybody have any experience with OSi transcription, good, bad or anything? I am going to be testing with them. What is their pay scale (I think most companies range from 7 cpl to 9 CPL).
PT transcription....
Has anyone typed for a PT Department, and how is the dictation. On a level of 1/10 what would you say. I'm currently doing neurosurgery, family medicine, orthopaedic, and pulmonary and thinking of possibly taking a position for a PT Company to do transcription in house. Any info would be greatly appreciated.javascript:editor_insertHTML('text',' ');

C&C Transcription
Do anybody know anything about this company? I am really interested in applying, but I am a little confused about their test. Does anyone know how many tests to do to apply? Do you pick one category and do all the tests within or several tests within several categories? If someone has applied before I would really appreciate some info on how many I need to do. Thanks.
anyone know much about C&C transcription TIA

Transcription
Anyone read the article in Advance Magazine stating that transcription will be virtually obsolete as we know it in 3-5 years with take over of the back and front ends of speech recognition. Was curious as to opinions. Seems like this message has been repeated over and over.
Anyone know anything about T-C Transcription
in Florida?
Is transcription still a hot job?
I am wondering whether all this time and energy is worth it. I am not trying to be a downer, don't get me wrong. I am just reading over this board and wondering how we all can stand it anymore. I've been a Transcriptionist since 1993. Feeling like crap today. Hard work, is it worth it to all of you?? or or not sure...
transcription course
Andrews School in Oklahoma City works closely with helping you get a job and they are excellent for transcription and coding.
US Transcription
I actually worked for this company for two years and w/out trying to bash, I would simply say to watch yourself. They have a very high turnover, and make a lot of promises they do not keep. They also play dirty with pay. If you work for them for a while you will very likely find out they are hiring new people at more than you make! Keep yourself informed and in close contact with their other transcriptionists if you decide to work for them! They also have a very nasty QA person who can be short and rude. She really wants things done "her way" whether it meets AAMT standards or not!
Why transcription?
Curious to know. What is the main appeal to you?
Why transcription?
I can work from home, set my own hours, be my own boss. I don't have to worry about what I'm going to do if my son is sick and has to stay home from school. I don't have to work in an office anymore and deal with the high school mentality and backstabbing that goes on. I save money on gas, can work in my comfy clothes, and save money on food from not having to eat out every day. I also enjoy getting to work in the healthcare field, and I love to type!
KMM Transcription
Is anyone familiar with KMM Transcription? I saw they had an ad for IC work, but I could not find anything in the archives on this company. Just curious!
Thanks
usa transcription?
I'm looking for a company called USA Transcription or something like that. Can anyone help with some possibilities? I have spent an hour on the archives and could spend hours more....lol
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!
Took a job outside of transcription-bye all gl
Other Transcription
Does anyone know if there is any other transcription out there such as legal transcription that can be done from home. I am trying to help a friend find some work that she can do at home. She has no medical experience, but is looking for something she can do to earn a little extra money a month, such as data entry, legal transcription. There are so many ads out there and she is looking for a reputable company. Anyone out there had any experience or know of any legit companies for data entry/legal transcription, etc. that can be done at home? Thanks for any input.
EMR and transcription
I worked one day a week in a large group practice and also did all of their transcription as an IC. They went to an EMR system. It took away approx 90% of my transcription, only a few office notes a day per doctor were being dictated, the rest was being entered into the EMR by the medical assistants, physicians and other office staff. It is a very tedious system, filling in blanks or picking items from a list, etc. It was really much more timeconsming for the physicians and staff, especially at the beginning, but they put so many $$$$ into purchasing it there was no way they were going to go back to dictating. I was offered a position scanning medical records and info into the system but the pay was less than half what I was making doing transcription as an IC. They have had to hire at least three people just to scan documents, etc and this will be a longterm comittment because they want to get their complete records into the system. Right now they do keep two part time ladies in the office that transcribe what litle they do dictate, they also are expected to do receptionist clerical work if there is no dictation to transcribe, etc. The system they have basically is point and click, using the mouse alot of the time, inserting standard phrases from a list into a template on the system, possibly typing five or six additional lines into the record, etc. Because of they way the system is set up, there was no way to make any kind of speed using the mouse, so the only thing would be to be paid hourly and unfortunately in a physicians office there is just no way to make the kind of $$$ that I could make transcribing, so I moved on to a national. There may be possibilities to do more transciption, it just depends what type of system they have and how much time the doctors want to spend entering in their own data. This has been my experience, maybe others have a different point of view. Good luck with it.
pay for new transcription
The lowest I have seen paid for transcription is 0.05 cents per 65 charcter line. The highest is over 0.10 cents. If I were you, I would charge somewhere in the middle around 0.07 or 0.08 cents which is the normal pay for many companies.
Transcription RPL
I am an IC working of my home for a physical therapy office. The office is quite demanding and because of the gas prices I am going to increase my rate from .12 to .14. Is there an average? I have to drive 15 minutes each way from my house to pick/up drop off everyday. When I went to school for this 12 years ago, the average rate then per line was .12. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I am typing on microcassettes.
OSI Transcription
Your sure sound sour grapes about them.
Where do you work now if you don't mind my asking. Are you happy?
other transcription
I am curious as to if there is other transcription, also, as I have done it for a mental health center. If you find out, would you please email me. And also, I am new at this, how do you post what you wrote? Thanks
JLG Transcription, FL
