Lost
I am fairly new to this world and and am currently doing transcription for a podiatrist and am looking to do some from home part time. However, I have no idea what I need at home for equipment, can someone please give me a heads-up.
Thanks
well, tell that the MT that just lost her job. I'm sure she'll feel better.

Sorry to hear about your lost business. We aren't seeing that.
I'm seeing more business than ever before. I hope yours will pick up. Don't get discouraged.
I've always lost the first lines that were typed when
they come back on and change what they had said. The report needs to make sense and if he is obviously going in another direction, it's just easier to start over. It doesn't seem fair, but that is they way I have always done it. Now, if you had typed a paragraph or so and he just hung up or got cut off, I would leave a QA marker and send it in and get the lines.
Thank you Admin for removing the posts below regarding people who lost accounts.. Appreciate it.

It depends on your account
Sometimes MTs, new and otherwise, get accounts like that. On the plus side, it is experience that you can use. Learning some of these difficult ESLs now can be benificial to you when you move on to another job. As far as line count goes, that would be tough. Just do the best you can, at least it is a paying job.
Good luck and God Bless.
psych account follow up
What's your plan?
Not really, but I was offered one account that needs a Cphone....
Would that make it worthwhile? Are they widely used?
Thnx
It all depends on the account. Are you wanting to
do it on your own - meaning get your own account, or work for a company. If working for a company there are various ways to get work, a C-phone or Lanier, tape, or through the internet - what you need depends on what they use. If you want your own accounts it all depends on how they do their dictation. It may be done on tapes or handhelds, in which case they probably have the ability to upload files.
IThey might have hired you for a new account. Call! sm
You didn't mention the name of the company. It could be they have a new account and it's not off the ground yet. It was a month after I was hired before I actually started working. That was two years ago and I'm seldom out of work. I'm still on that same account.
No ESLs on my account, but they're not hiring.
You're right that account specifics will dictate how you
do this, but generally you don't abbreviate diagnoses, but using cm and mL are okay, just don't use CHF instead of congestive heart failure. In the body of a report it is acceptable to abbreviate, but you should really transcribe as dictated. If the doctor dictates CHF then type CHF, if they dictate congestive heart failure than type congestive heart failure.
i work for one national, one smaller, and have one private account.
i am always busy, but never without some type of work :). I make a great line count with MQ. I was statutory but effective January 1st, I am an employee. Not sure how that will work out. My secondary account is with a smaller company I have been with for over ten years, and I have a small private account that pays very well but low volume.
Disagree. We have a gravy account that we, as IC's, provide our own equipment and pay for
a token to get into the software. Big deal. You pay $150 for a C-phone and $150 for the token but then you make scads of money! So would weigh the ROI (return on investment). Not a hard and fast rule to never buy equipment you can't use on another account.
Getting lucky w/a great account figures in greatly. You'll be
