Your own computer with company software
Posted By: me on 2008-03-09

I recently had company software installed on my computer, and it got me wondering something. Have you ever suspected that a company installed any type of tracking or keylogger software on your own computer when they installed your software? I don't think my company did, but I wouldn't put it past some of these companies.

Can an employer use software to search what is on your computer and how can you block this? (sm)
When an employer downloads their program onto your computer can they put software on it so that they can get into your computer and see what is on it, such as folders, files, etc? If so, is there any way to block it? This just popped into my mind the other day and I was wondering about it. 
Is there a quick way to get WavPedal software? I have a new computer and the foot pedal, but...sm
no software. A company is asking for it to test.

I want to add, the software company
we use is also going to incorporate this into their line counting method.
Are you with a company? Their software might have something permanently set in

This happens to be the company computer.
Just tired of the techs refusing to take responsibility and never fixing anything.
It IS the company computer??
OMG
I never said it was a company computer. nm

Yes, I've let my company access my computer.
I used to do the same for one of my MT clients and for remote users as a computer technician. You can sit there and watch everything they do. It's not like they're hacking your computer or keylogging your data. You can shut them down if you're uncomfortable with what they're doing, and delete their access capability when they've finished.
Thanks. My company provided computer has a VPN and I can
goggle with it.
Thanks, but it's a company computer and we not allowed
to do anything to it. Any updating, etc. is done by IT only.
Any other tips or thoughts on my original post appreciated.
My company sent me a large tower computer to
I appreciate the computer, but the tower is huge! My desk doesn't have any place for a tower (it's not a computer desk and I can't afford to buy one). What's a good way to place the tower so that all the wires will fit (other than on top of the desk?).
True. I was told this by a friend who is a computer tech at a company
here in town. He was going to do it for me. No way would I try to do it myself. Luckily, I was able to buy one with XP on it from Dell.
When buying a new computer would you use a company locally that builds new computers or go with Dell
or a large outfit like that. This local company has been around awhile. Not sure what to do about buying a new computer that is going to be compatible with just about all MT jobs.
New company software installed? You might have Their printer installed as default. You'd have to

Yeah, you're right. Who cares who licenses your software? Heck, I use all pirated software anyw
why pay for anything, right?
Except that is AGAINST THE LAW!!!
A friend of mine got one and she is finding that some of her software, specifically her ISP software

If u need server software, try guild ftp. If just user software
then try cuteftp, coffeecupftp, or wsftp. They don't charge a line rate and I believe guildftp server software is still free.
Is it their computer? Why are they installing a firewall and autocorrect on your computer? That sm
is usually the responsibility of the transcriptionist, especially if an IC or SE. Which company?
Question about transfering computer into to another computer.. sm
I have a dumb question - Just bought a new computer and someone told me to get a flash drive to transfer all my info. But I'm assuming that ExText that I work off of and Escription will have to be downloaded again by the tech people onto my new computer. I can tranfer these can I?
Thanks
How does one find out the computer specs on my computer?
I should know this, but I just don't remember how to do this. I am hoping I have enough RAM, or whatever, to load work platform on my own computer and begin working on it, rather than paying *rent* on the company-furnished computer. Thanks so much.
A computer is a computer, whether it be laptop or desktop.
I have both and use both and I bought both of mine...most companies do not provide computers...
Another big factor is software. If the software isn't
transcription friendly, it can really hurt your bottom line.
Otherwise, $1.20 per report is a pretty decent rate for radiology.
Good luck - hope it works out for you.

What Company is This? I have been hired by a company that is sending a foot pedal.. Don't want t
.
The company cutting cpl, the company stopping paying for headers
:{
Good of the company? As IC, I am my own company. Not my problem if she has problems as long as I do
:P
Accepted a job with a new company, gave two weeks notice to my old company..
Old company, let me go before two weeks was up. New company, said they were having trouble getting me set up and my equipment ready, but they would pay me while I waited. It's been a month, still no check from new company even though I was told it was "in the mail." I have no income and am at a loss.
I have a signed offer letter from the new company, contracts, etc. I applied for unemployment, but old company is saying I quit and technically I am currently employed with the new company! New company is not returning calls or answering email.
What should I do!?!?!?!
I started sending my resume out today, but the process of getting a new job will take at least two weeks and I need money now to catch up on what I'm behind!
You don't want to work for this company. Call your current company and
tell them that you have decided against the new position and tell them that you would like to stay. It is cheaper for them to let you stay than to train someone new. A company who could be so tacky as the one you just spoke of is one you do not want to work for. You can rescind your resignation. If you are a good MT, they will be glad you did.
With my company, ICs use their own emails, employees have company email.

....3 months later my old company rehired me; can you return to your 1st company?

Local radiology company, not transcription company
who has only 5 transcriptionists and are not hiring at this moment. We all work at home and get great benefits, no insurance out of pocket and 22 days paid vacation in the first year, after that it goes up. I feel very fortunate to have found them, but again I chose them because they did not do production, so now that they are, I'm a little disappointed.
I think it varies greatly from company to company...sm
I was hired five months ago by a national straight out of school at 8 cpl. I think it just depends on your knowledge level and ability, and of course, what the company is willing to pay.
i think it varies from company to company and/or location
VR company? Not when the MT company owns its own VR equipment. n/m.

NEW SOFTWARE
I have been out of the loop lately. What is this new software? I am currently looking for a medical transcription job and need a little catching up, obviously. I would REALLY appreciate a reply on this issue. 
software
I work for a company that uses it and it's very simple to use. I edit 90% and transcribe 10% and it's very simple to use. Basically it's microsoft word with all the bells and whistles.
Software
I have used both Quick Books and Quicken and prefer Quick Books for invoicing, etc. I have two checking accounts, personal and business of course, and pay my business bills through there -- even by subs and that downloads into Quick Books which can be downloaded into my Turbo Tax. Also on my personal side that gives me my utilities payout total also and I can then just deduct my 20 to 25% of them for my taxes. Works for me.
software
A place called Webchart contacted me and had a lot of the features you are looking for but it was quite expensive and I knew my docs would not go for it. I could not afford several hundred dollars a month for it. But you might do a goggle and see what comes up but the company name was webchart.
a/v software
aside from the fact that it's probably true..!! hehe.
if anyone wants info a a terrific a/v proggie, please off-list (e-mail) me, and i will send the link.
Software Available
I am using a sotware that is designed by me. Let me know your email ID, I shall send you my software.
VR software
I work for a company who is a major developer of voice recognition software. I do transcription for them also and some reports are done with the voice recognition software. Yes, it is like basically editing. That is unless you get a dictator with a heavy accent and the software even has a hard time understanding. The dictators have to go through a training period and the software actually learns their voice and speech patterns. The hard medical words it usually gets with no problem, but the smaller everyday words don't come through correct all the time. Some doctors are great, others should not be using it at all. It makes for quite an amusing report at times. I know it is the way of the future but I personally would rather type the report myself than try and edit some mess.

go through the link http://www.core-software.com/TMinfo.htm for a good software
Is there any software out there....
that performs like a Dictaphone or C-phone where you can dial into a system with your computer and control the dictation with a foot pedal? My Dictaphone is going haywire, and I was wondering about some kind of computer software to replace it, if there is such a thing.
To any software out there.... sm
go to http://www.nch.com.au/software/dictation.html
they have inexpensive call in solutions that work very well.
Good luck!
What the best software to use?
Me and a couple of my MT friends have decided to make a small little MT company. You know just the three girls, made a lil pamplet and all. We're hoping by banding together we can met new clients ect. I was wondering what Mt software -for when the clients upload the audio files-should we use? We're on a budget and can't afford the 2,500 SW that's we've seen online. ANy suggestions?
FTP software
I'm trying to learn new FTP software, FTP Navigator. I can read the files but they are in word pad. Is this right? I am trying to read their sample reports and would rather read them in Word. Can anyone help? TIA
OEM Software
I worked for a computer company that sold new computers. OEM software is perfectly legal software and can be registered. This software is only supposed to sold with computers and/or hard disk drives. The software companies offer this software as OEM so manufactures, like Dell, can purchase the software at a reduced price and package it with their new computer systems. Technically, it is not supposed to be sold by itself, but it is perfectly legal.
Do you know what the VR software is?

I use Express Scribe too. It is free to download and so easy to use!
