You're misunderstanding how toll free call in
services work. You can't just get some long distance service at 3 cents a minute. Where are the doctors supposed to leave their dictation? We have software that answers, prompts for the dictator ID and password, then keypad functions the doctor uses to leave their dictation. Then, those dictated files are provided to the transcription service via FTP. So, our service, at 9 cents per minute is the cheapest on the market offering these features and we do not require a large amount of minutes per month like other toll free call in services do.
Toll-free call-in system
I have 3 doctors that I am going to be taking on as clients of my own. One is going to be using a recorder, the other 2 are still wanting to use a call-in line for their dictation. They will not be dictating a large amount just a couple times a week. Does anyone have any suggestions for a service that provides a toll-free call-in line for a decent price? I am thinking about mydocsonline for my doc that will be using a recorder.
Thanks in advance and Merry X-Mas to you all!

Call a local camera store and see if they offer this service.
Many times photographers will also provide a similar service. I personally haven't had it done, but have heard of people doing this for a memorial service or a wedding. They can take still pictures/slides and incorporate them too.

Does anyone know what companies offer voice recognition of your dictation?
Our cable company doesn't offer phone service yet, and anyway,
I don't know if I'd want everything dependent on their service for all my needs. Even my internet is not as dependable as it should be, yet there is nothing wrong according to them. I already pay for internet and TV to the tune of $147 a month and they are raising it in Jan. again.
Offer to do the work for free. You have not done something that has not been done before.

Question about dictation service
I have been asked by 2 physicians in my area to do their dictation but do not have the money to invest in a good dictation system - has anyone ever used those companies that sell you "dictation time" on their system, so many minutes a month for a set fee? I have heard pros and cons but need more info, are they compliant, is it reliable, anyone with any info would be greatly appreciated.
I think ShortHand and SmartType offer free trials. nm

Is there a free online counseling service?
My daughter, who is 33, is married with 1 child - every time something goes wrong in her marriage or job, she calls me and I'm supposed to solve all her problems. I have asked her repeatedly to go to a counselor, but usually when she calls, it is in the evening. By the next day or Monday, the problem has gone away temporarily and then she doesn't get the help she needs again.
Does anybody know if online counseling is available that is free, other than this message board ? I guess I'm thinking of someone with an actual degree?

Call in dictation system
I have a digital call in dictation system that is less than 2 years old that has given me nothing but problems from day one. It has already blown 2 speech boards and a new one has to be put in. I purchased an insurance policy for it but the company is giving me a large hassle. I currently have a loaner system that is also acting up. I was wondering if anyone can recommend any Internet-based call in systems that doctors could use by calling in on an 800 number and something that is easy to use and maintenance free from my end. I have always used a computer based call in system but it is very expensive to maintain with phone lines, etc. I am looking to get something fast that I can have set up as a backup in case my loaner also breaks down. I am a novice as far as Internet systems go. Thanks for any help or information about a company that you could recommend.
Question about call-in dictation
I was wondering if anyone knows of any call in dictation systems that do not utilize an FTP site to access the dictation. Is there any other way to access dictation using a system of this type.
call in dictation services
If you go to the mtdesk classified section where people are selling used equipment, books, etc...you will see advertisements for digital call in services. There are companies out there who offer you a 1-800 number and charge you by the minute. I think they offer you packages in different minute increments and for so many dictators. You give the docs the 1-800 number, they call in and dictate, and the company uploads the file to your computer. Pretty cool.
Call Nicole at customer service...
This is THE best company I have ever dealt with. I downloaded the trial and in a day or two received a very nice personable email from Nicole wanting to know how I liked the Gearplayer. Then my trial ran out before I really got to try it because we had to go out of town so they let me try it an additional 5 days. On my fifth day I had just started working and was so behind because I took my mom for a test. It was last Thursday actually. I placed my order over the phone and was going to have to wait until Monday for the software to come in. Nicole gave me a third extension so I would not lose money and the software arrived the very next day!
I do want to add that when trying the 3rd trial I had the same problem you are having and I called their tech depatment. Mike had me back on within minutes without putting me on hold even one time!
The customer care is unmatched and the product itself has the best sound quality and the settings are so easy to use. I can't recommend them enough. Good luck!
That puter with a D is OK if you don't have to call (India) service n/m
You're not going to find a word expander for free. You're going to have to pay

Does anyone know of a site that offers Free dictation samples? n/m
Thanks.
They are probably looking for a call-in digital dictation system or
if they have one in their office, a ld service for you to call in and get the dictation.
I certainly would ask and clarify what exactly they are looking for and what they want.
Good luck!

Web based transcription/dictation
The company I now work for has asked me to look into web based transcription/dictation applications. They are currently using tapes, and going to a web-based application would be a real time saver. Does anyone have suggestions?

When you do not know, you should ask and you are not an idiot! :)
thinking about selling my transcription service...
 and just wondering if any one has any opinion on interest in that. The person owning the company would make a minimum of $82,500 a year, running the business and doing some transcribing part time. It would be very easy to do some marketing and bring in some new accounts, which could easily push that 82500 to over 100000 a year. I have repetitive stress injury and my doctor has told me I need to find something else to do. I was thinking if there was an MT or a group of MT's (the company is incorporated so shares can be sold) that would like to get together, they can eliminate the middle man, earn retail price for their lines and establish job security, not to mention satisfaction. Price would be around $250,000 but like I said, a group of people could go together to cover that and with a little work in marketing, it could be paid off in three years. The business is about 10 years old and to the point where it is generating its own referrals. It could really go places if someone wanted to spend a little time marketing to a few new hospitals. Any one have any thoughts on this.

Do you work in a hospital or a Transcription Service
Office? It is a hospital there should be a manager that you can go to or an administrator. Production is key in hospital work, and it is important you have the quiet you need to produce.
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. 
Transcription Application Service Provider.
IOW the smart computer folks who deal with the headaches! :)
They provide HIPAA complaint file hosting/ftp set up for MTs. Some charge per line, other charge per month, it just varies. Some provide a call in dictation service and charge per minute. It's great if you have no capital in invest in equipment. :)
I'm not sure but I think it's what some MTs refer to as a platform?

I think any transcription service can well assess an MTs ability
requires so many test files to be transcribed is taking advantage of applicants.
Considering selling my transcription service. See message
I have an established transcription service that I am considering selling. Anyone know who I would contact to pursue this? Thanks in advance.
I have to share this. Got a call from a doctor today inquiring about my service. See message.
He apparently has been working with a service that outsources to India and he is so fed up at the bad quality of the transcription in addition to the fact that he wants to work with someone who actually speaks English! How about that!! They will all learn the hard way, but they will learn. There may be hope for American MTs yet.
Expresiv--does anyone use this transcription/dictation system--sm
who could take some time to answer a few questions for me.
Medical Dictation Transcription Company
Is anyone familiar with the transcription company Medical Dictation or know anything about them?
If you were going to purchase dictation/transcription equipment, what would you buy?
I'm thinking of trying to get a couple of my own clients locally but have never had to purchase equipment for the docs to use.
Would those of you who have your own clients mind sharing with me the type of equipment you use, how you like it, and if you would change anything? I'm mainly interested in digital equipment, but really, at this point, any information would be welcome.
Thanks! Jumpin' In
I worded it wrong - should have said new idea for transcription service. sm
This "branch" of the company will be in office only. The rest of our transcriptionists are at home. I just feel that new grads have no place to go after finishing school but realistically they are not ready to be on their own at home for 6 months to a year. This will bridge that gap, let us train new MTs correctly, add more MTs to the U.S. transcription pool, etc.

Does anyone know anything about Medical Dictation Transcription Company out of Florida???
Just wondering if anyone knew anything about Medical Dictation Transcription Company?
American Association of Medical Transcription Service Owners
They do not represent the rights of the individual Transcriptionist it seems but rather promote their organization in order to continue to exist and to continue to survive, they seem to think they should stand up for the service owner and not the MT.
You'd think they would be giving information on how to get more production since our wages have stood still and unless speed engines are used, we make much less than what one would think.
Idea for a new transcription service. We are looking for some ideas to firm things up. TIA. sm
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!

..or when the doc dictates "prior report LOST by XXX Transcription Service...AGAIN." sm
I work for a national MT company, we do hospitals all over the country, I work from home. I have NO control over where the chart goes once I send it in, I'd bet the original chart was never dictated and hence never 'lost' by us....but in the case that it may have been, THEY HAVE THE PHONE NUMBER of the company to call them, they have specific contacts at the company for issues such as this...I CAN'T HELP YOU WITH THIS, especially when all they're doing is bitching at me on a voice file. Funny, it's always the same couple of docs complaining of lost dictations. Curious that it's JUST THEM. ;-)
