Any info on Southern Transcription Services would be helpful.
TIA
I worked for Southern Transcription a while back.

southern accents
Being a Yankee who now lives in the south, I can relate! Had far more trouble with the southern dictators than with the foreign ones.
And yest, those British & Australian ones are sexy!
Un no, not Kiki...but I am southern! sm
 we all use those words down here...and by "thang" I meant like "aint nothing but a thang..." which means really not that important...just FYI...NOT Kiki...whoever that is...
I prefer non-Southern accents
I'm from the south but lived out of the area for several years. My favorite accents are Northeast and MidWest. For a while I did MT for a hospital in rural Alabama where a resident from Cuba was working. He had acquired a number of southern altruisms that cracked me up with his thick Hispanic accent. I'll never forget when he treated an elderly woman who had received a rattlesnack bite to her foot through her "teenie shoes." (if I hadn't been from the south, I wouldn't have known he was referring to "tennis shoes!")
Once my dryer needed servicing and the repair man came out. After talking for a while I asked if he was from somewhere near southern Russia because of his accent. He got so excited that someone knew the geographic area of his origin! He was from a tiny little country bordering southern Russia! (one of my neurologists was from Russia). I love to try to place someone's accents

I have a bad time with southern accents too
Their words just sort of fall into one another and it seems like they put emphasis on the wrong part of the word, so I need to concentrate with them. The worst however is the Chinese accent by far. Especially when they do try to slow down and enunciate, it makes it worse.
I have noticed the southern accent. I like it. Don't like BO though. LOL. nm

Yes!! Matthew, hunky southern gentlman.
My mom is from the south. Thanks to that I have no problem with southern accents. nm

BellSOUTH (keyword)....8-9 southern states!!!.
southern, northern, eastern, western--sm
what difference does it make where anybody is from...how about being a *bleeding heart* for ALL life...not just human and not just animals. God gave everything that breathes life, and we should respect that. human or animal. JMO
I'd guess male, but if it's Southern, all bets are off.

I'm in southern NY, 2hrs. north of NYC. One of the helpers on MTD is from upper NY, too. nm

Algarve, southern Portugal, wonderful spas
easy access to ancient castles, Spain, the larger cities of Lisbon and Oporto, next door to Morroco, wonderful free seafood, beaches. I could go on...
I live in a small Southern town and they have posted pictures of sm
people convicted of passing bad checks in the newspaper. How humiliating would that be?
By posting the bad checks, they see your name, but by posting your picture, they could recognize who you are.
I was told 12 cents per line in Southern California was too high (sm)
They can stick it because they should be paying 18 cents per line.
There is too much EMR and offshoring around here.
Southern fried chicken. We're having friend over, too. I love it but
I can only eat fried chicken once in a while. Makin SMASHED (taters, eh?), blackeyed peas and green beans with pepper sauce.
My worst are both slow-speaking, hoarse-voiced Southern gentlemen.
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.
The great southern coffee... Community Coffee...
People who grew up with it and have moved have it sent to them now or stock up when they visit Louisiana.
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
Looking for information/references from MTs in regards to working for this company. Any information would be most grateful
SPi transcription
Anyone out there who works for SPi and uses their software, which I love, feel that they do okay? Thanks in advance.
Using I-Pen for transcription
With the holiday commercials in full swing, I keep seeing the I-Pen commercial. I forget the name brand, and it may be called something else, but I am talking about the pen that works like a mouse and a pen where you write with the pen and then transfer it to your computer. Has anyone thought about or even tried to use the I-Pen for transcription? I'm wondering if it would give the wrists a break to be using a different input device than the keyboard. Any ideas would be appreciated. While I'm talking about productivity, has anyone become more productive using Dragon Speaking Naturally?
TIA!
