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!

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.
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.
Scroll down just a little & you'll see "This is a huge list of MTSO's"
posted by Misha. I think this is what you're talking about.
"hiring MTSOs" would mean MTSOs that are currently hiring peope. n/m
No, it would be a huge mistake.
I have 20+ years experience in this field. One thing you have to understand, wages are DROPPING for MTs. Check out the posting on the Main board, (2006-09-15) where an MT with 12 YEARS experience was just offered a position with one of the major nationals. And what was the marvelous pay offered for this extremely talented individual? 6.5 cents per line. I would venture that to be 6.5 cents every 65 characters (not really per line). Just 10 years ago, an MT could start at 9 cents per line. Now experienced people, NATIONAL companies are going at 6.5? helloooo....Does this raise a red flag? There is a tremendous amount of competition, not only from India and the Philippines but from companies who want the docs and the hospitals to buy their voice recognition and EMR programs. It is not a fluke that wages are dropping. I would be willing to bet that you would NEVER find a job...just try that scenario on for size. 
I hate to be discouraging but I also hate the way people are led on about the MT field. And I hate the idea of you investing time and $2000 just so you could never get a job.
From an MTSOs persective
From an MTSO's perspective -- I own a small MT company and have hired 3 of the AIM Program grads and have been VERY pleased with all three. I would highly recommend this program and I will continue to approach the director when I am in need of additional MTs.
To clear up any misconceptions -- the AIM Program is no longer affiliated with Allstate Transcription. The AIM Program was merely started/created by a former owner of Allstate Transcription. Allstate Transcription is no longer in business -- and from what I understand, Superior Global Solutions acquired Allstate Transcription back in November. (If you notice, Allstate no longer has the "now hiring" banners on their website -- and they have nothing on their site or on the AIM Program site that affiliates the two of them. I believe their site is going to be disabled soon.)
So....not sure how much I would worry about posts about Allstate Transcription when making my decision the AIM Program. Again, I've had nothing but positive experiences with their interns. Furthermore, the mentors and director -- both the former and the present ones -- have been nothing but professional. I've never heard any of the MTs I've hired through AIM Program referrals have anything but good things to say about them.
You are welcome to email me if you have any specific questions.
MTSOs are sometimes more willing to hire newbies.
It could be a good way to get experience and sometimes better than a national.
Fix your resume to fit the MTSOs requirement
i.e., cardiology, acute care, etc. If they need someone with acute care for 5 years - then put it on your resume!

There are small-sized medical dictionaries, too, instead of the huge

It's not a hobby, huge investment for a little "extra" money. See msg
If you can find a job working as an MT without training, I'd like to hear about it. Even MTs who take the cheaper courses have a difficult time getting hired, when there are excellent training programs turning out well-trained MTs (Andrews School and M-TEC).
If a foreign doctor with a strong accent who speaks very quickly is dictating in a noisy ER, would you know whether he is saying perineal, peritoneal, or peroneal? You need to totally understand what he is talking about in order to know if you have the correct word, and a spellchecker won't help.
Would you catch it if a doctor accidentally dictated a medication in mg instead of mcg?
Most people have no clue how complicated the medical language is, made more difficult by fast-speaking foreign doctors (or mumbling, slurring Americans) dictating in noisy places who don't really care if you understand what they are saying or not (but the person paying you certainly cares!)
If you don't want to get slammed with a huge payment due, estimated quarterly taxes

Hunt locally, make cold calls to local MTSOs, you can get a job that way-
I also landed a job on-line with no experience with PHNS, www.phns.com, they are a twin of Medquist though, I believe they are owned by them but am not sure, rumor, so who knows. Rules and pay stink, but GREAT for experience, when I tested for them years ago it was a joke (easist test I ever took). I still have a little ways to go (1 more year) before I can command better pay than I have now, but working on that. Just keep trying, took me 2 months to land 1 job and then 2 more landed in my lap. You have to be persistant.
This all sounds nice, but newbies have to choose MTSOs wisely and this one is not a wise choice.
me, I will explain.
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.
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. :)

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.
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! 
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.
I tried to google Missy's list
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.
Here is a list that was previously posted...

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)

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.
