and got nowhere. Maybe the site is down now. I found out about it from Meditec (clicked on references/resources then job links). I just tried that now and it took me to a page of just advertisements. So, I guess it is down now. What they did was charge a fee for access to their list of MT companies and private forum. They'd usually say a little bit about the MT companies such as how much experience they required before testing, if they allowed newbies, etc. All of that info you could get elsewhere on you own, but it was kind of helpful having a lot of it in front of you when job hunging. Basically that was it.
It sounds like the site you are talking about is a good idea. Maybe it would be something we all can use. If you move forward with it, let us know.
God Bless.

Do you use Google as a reference? When
I put in Olympus fiberoptic colonoscope (yes, I've known what it is for 20+ years now), I get lots of hits.
Just trying to help.
I did a search on Google for
entertainment transcription and several companies came up. Most of them are based in California and require that you live withing 30 minutes driving distance from the location of the transcription company. See www.transcripts.net, also see www.indeed.com, there are similar jobs posted on this site.
Google it. I would suggest staying away
from TVPS.com
I have used this company and had no problems. http://www.theprogrammers.com/wavp.html
Hey Milton, your stapler is causing google
to spawn a bunch of stapler advertising! You are so powerful my friend...
Google 'practice medical transcription'
Your question got me wondering, so I checked out the site that the previous poster provided. Those programs were way to expensive for me, but I did find some others that were a little cheaper.
You can google for a free word/line counter..

A large part of MT work is research. Do some research on this company. Check Google, etc. nm

Looking for that list!
I saw the list a couple or so weeks ago with all the list of companies that someone had compiled (brillinat), that will probably hire newbies. I can't find it! I am doing a paid externship at a local transcription company but I am not getting paid a lot. I need to find part time or full time work with another company. Help!
List
THANK YOU!!!
thanks for that list!
thanks for that list!
Of course you would not list your name as you know you are wrong. sm
If you are going to make such a bold statement that you see as truth why didnt you list your name? Of course you listed as anon. I am the MTSO for Proficient Transcription and have been in business for over 10 years. The start up cost associated covers the cost of the foot pedal which, by the way, is $79 alone. I dont think it is too much to ask for a MTSO to have a little bit of insurance when it comes to hiring a newbie. Why would anyone invest the money in the foot pedal for a newbie if this is their first position if the MTSO has no guarantee of their work? I am helping out and doing something not a lot of companies do and that is to give a newbie a chance. If that is perceived as a scam then so be it. My MTs receive work daily and are paid competitively for it. You have no idea what it is like to try and run a transcription business and unless you do then please keep your defaming comments to yourself. This kind of banter is what scares away MTSOs from hiring anyone without experience. I was given a great chance to get into this business without dropping thousands of dollars into schooling and all I was doing was trying to help someone else do the same. This girl was talking about purchasing hundreds of dollars in books and paying the same for schooling and I was offering on the job training but I cant afford to do that at my own expense of all the equipment. I dont understand what is so hard to understand about that.
Not a list of MTSOs
just a list of transcriptionists. You can add yourself to the list at no charge. Just fill out the form.
List of books
Language of Medicine (Barnes and Noble or AAMT.org). It goes through every body system and all kinds of tests and abbreviations, etc.
I also bought used college text books on anatomy, labs, etc for dirt cheap which helped me as a newbie.
Also, another tip, find some seasoned MTs you can communicate with on messenger. I am experienced but having a few people to get opinions with always helps.
I am mgtranscription on yahoo if interested. Where did you go to school?
For a list of companies ...
Check out -- http://www.transcriptionresource.com/companies.htm.
If you received your training from certain places, some employers will waive the experience requirement. Check with your school for assistance with job placement too. GOOD LUCK!
Thanks DJ! That is a great list! nm
love that dmz list
That site is where I found my first job. I recieved 13 responses from that list and I had ZERO experience. I have been working now for one month. :)
List of companies

Good luck!
Good Anatomy list
Do you want to find anatomy list? Look at Mosby's handbook of anatomy physiology. The book is very good. If you need the book, I can sell mine $10.00. I have other good books too from my previous course. I give up transcription career.
Scratch CAI and Meditec off of the list. sm
You need to go with proven schools. If you short yourself, you will eventually end up forking out more money to get the right education.
This is a huge list of MTSOs.
This list is huge. A lot of these seem to be small businesses. I only looked at one state, but the list was long. Not many have websites, but some of these businesses are still doing tapes and offering a wide range of services. You will therefore want to look mainly in your own State.
If they can only receive resumes by mail or fax they are not getting swamped with them, so you might have a better chance. . Happy hunting!

List of transcription companies and their URL's ?
A while back I remember someone posting a site that listed a bunch of transcription companies and their URL's. The list was really, really long and categorized by states....anyone remember or have that URL ? 
Thanks in advance! 
Except it's not a huge list of MTSO's. It's...
a site where you can post your own business if you want. Most of the postings are solitary MT's, just like you and me.
Try making a handwritten list as you have to look up
the drug names. I have a lot of experience, but I also get stuck on drug names sometimes. That is my weakest point as well even though I hate to admit it, but one thing that helped me is to handwrite on a piece of paper that sits next to you all of the new drug names and their correct form (whether to cap or not), and then for some odd reason (it worked for me) when I'm transcribing I'll think to myself, oh wait, I know that one is on my list. Googling is good too, but you have to watch the sites as not all are consistent or may not be correct. Googling can pull up all forms of that word being used, so just be careful there. You'll get there, and happy MT'ing... 
...now. Might want to apply and get name on a future list

How do you make such an expander list?
I just bought ShortHand and have a few words/phrases in it. I have no system as for deciding what to put in it. How do you decided what to do? I really need to improve my line count. Any info appreciated.
Here is a list that was previously posted...
http://forum.mtstars.com/medical_transcription/v/3/7497.html
Check with your school for a list
that hire their graduates. Most courses have can provide you with post-graduation support for a period of time or at least give you some leads on where to start.
I printed a list of mine and I study over them and

Upon graduation, I received a lengthy list of companies (see message)
that were willing to test grads of M-Tec without experience.
I now have my own MTSO. I require experience of everyone except Andrews and M-TEC grads. In my experience, they have performed wonderfully, even without experience.
Scroll down just a little & you'll see "This is a huge list of MTSO's"
