Amphion have a lot of people leave? sm
Did more people leave?  I do not see that work has picked up that huge of an amount.  I am really tired of jumping accounts.  Anyone else?
Nice people at Amphion, but there
were workflow issues and the pay is rather low. I gave it half a year, but I had to move on. There was also an issue with having to fill in demographics, which burned a lot of time.
The Amphion people are nice but
I got laid off after months of no work. This was back in January, I think. Because of the lack of work, I kept bouncing back and forth from different accounts, had to use EditScript (ASR) and couldn't make my lines. They did me a favor by laying me off. It was not a good fit for me and I went back to my old job, making 9 cpl; however, that job is transitioning to EditScript as of June 1st. Just can't win, I guess.
Smartype
I use Smartype with Extext and it works fine. It just automatically came on when I went on Extext.
Shorthand/Smartype
Hi: Only Shorthand is and they recommend it.
Stedmans Smartype
I know that Stedman's Smartype works with Word and will work with ExText on a limited basis.  Are there any platforms out there that Smartype will work with?
Smartype in EXText
When you are signed out of EXText, you have to go into your regular Word. In your Smartype menu, go to Smartype Preferences (Cntrl 2) and select the box/option for Start Smartype when Word is started. The next time you are in EXText and it brings up the Word document, your Smartline should be there and your suggestion box at the bottom of the page the way you are used to seeing it. You will just be missing the menu at the top of Word.

I should have explained this part before, I thought you were only looking for the menu. Sorry about that!

I hope this does the trick for you.
Smartype not in menu
Well, how do you turn on Smartype if it isn't listed on your toolbar? 
I use Smartype and the ExText expander

It's similar to Smartype. Words pop up at the
if you see the word you are typing, you can hit enter and it puts in the entire word without you having to type the rest of it.
Is Shorthand or Smartype compatible with

Smartype into EXText Toolbar
Anyone know how to get the Smartype menu added to the toolbar in EXText?
Smartype in EXText toolbar
ST works great in EXText but you cannot add the menu, unfortunately. Use Cntrl 3 to add a word, Cntrl 5 to delete a word, and Cntrl 6 to modify a position while working in EXText. You cannot add a smart block while in EXText, so you will have to do that when you are logged out (or use the ESP Expander for blocks of text).
SmarType works great with ExText.

Anybody running Smartype with the Medware MeriT program? (nm)

Does ShortHand or SmarType work with the company DiskWriter's system?

Current Amphion employee...I'm very happy. The part of Amphion I work with has no faxes, lists,s
minor demographic work..superb QA and feedback.  Fellow MTs on same account are more than willing to help and now they also have mentor program.  My pay is what they said.  They do have different pay for different levels. 
People at TT have been paid! People who haven't well, maybe you did not make count and your check
after insurance deduction. Maybe your bank is holding it. Maybe anything! But we GOT PAID. This is NO LIE. And I am sick of this board. Nothing but disgruntled exemployees arguing with employees who like their job. Ugggg. I am working. BTW: THERE IS WORK (clears throat) remember that? Work?
Keystrokes is wonderful!! They are the nicest people and care 150% about their people!!
Excellent company!!!!
I worked for SS and some people were very RUDE and I am talking about the editing people in some
instances.  It ALL depends on the person, as it does with any company.  They paid on time and the lady over me was very nice, but boy the person in QA was mean to EVERYONE!!  Never seen anything like it before.
Are people trying to scare people or just tell them what is happening. I am not scared just seeing
that things are changing very rapidly and not for the better for me. If I have no work and need multiple accounts everyone else is in the same boat now arent they that have my accounts. That is how people know what is going on.
Maybe due to the people that manage Amherst. I think MQ would be a lot better off finding new people
up there with all the problems you hear about that office. Seems like something is very very wrong there.
I doubt it. There are more happy people than unhappy people sm
at Medquist. I've checked out other companies but I liked MQ the best (I kept working at MQ while testing other companies).
SO right! People who get paid to bring people on-board -sm
to these companies (few, if any, are 100% honest, it seems), are going to be honest and tell you anything that isn't rosy and sugar-coated. Having a good prospective MT walk because the company isn't so great means less green dollars in their bank account every month. They're not going to tell us anything that DOESN'T make them more money.
More people will come into VR because the qualifcations to do MT are not the same. Lots of people w
to work at home. It's all relative to what you are used to. The nationals are counting on this. I think MTs will work cheaper rather than reenter the work force with no other skills than MT. The nationals are counting on this.
They named people's names. That is not right. People just sm

need to keep from naming names.  I thought it was an informative bit of information, but when you name names, then posts are way out of line. 


I would really like to see a truly professional way of talking about a company.  I don't care what board you go to, somehow people just do not want to play nice when it comes to talking about people.  If those people could learn to be a little more professional and stop posting names to their wrath or anger, then that will be the day I can say I am proud to be in this profession.  When I see those types of things, it makes my skin crawl.  If it were me being talked about, I would be livid.  I certainly understand why the posts were deleted. 


Thank you for saying that. Most people here just love to trash people.
It is against board rules though.
Heartland - we take care of our people people
I meant in quotation marks, not parentheses.
For people at MDI-MD that say they are out of work, I see they are hiring now. Are people still
running out of work or did they get more accounts.  I am interested in this company.
Honestly, people some people are lazy...
plain and simple, sad but true.
Dont kid yourself that people dont know what is going on. Do you honestly think these office people
dont talk. Maybe you should make sure you know what you are talking about before you open your mouth.
Who said people who work for KS aren't happy for people who work for (sm)
other companies?  I'm happy for people who are happy with their jobs, no matter what company they work for. 
Amphion

Do you know if Amphion is hiring for radiology now?  I tried to find their website but was unsuccessful.  Anyone know their toll-free number? 


Do you know how they pay for radiology -- by the character, line, or report?  Range of pay? 


Amphion does

Amphion uses this for their platform!



?? about Amphion please
Their website says they check references which could hurt you at your present job.  How do they handle that?  Also do they pay more if you do work nights and weekends?  Thank you.
Amphion pay
8.5 cents but good luck getting there, you need 4 quarters of 100% QA.

Amphion
and how do you get hired?
Amphion
No, they only hire as employee status. Good company though. Lots of work.
Amphion
I work for Amphion now.. GREAT company... Their pay scale differs on what level you are but where I am is 0.78 line to 0.81 line depending upon quality. That is for multispeciality. Acute care I believe is more...
Amphion
They use ESP word Expander for Microsoft Word and they do count spaces. I work there and think they are absolutely wonderful people to work for... No doubt..
Amphion pay?
Would anyone who works for Amphion mind sharing what their average pay per hour works out to? Considering them, but also worried the money might not be there.
Amphion
Amphion seems like a good company, but I wonder if the money is there. Their pay structure seems vague.
Amphion
Ditto! Nice staff, but questioning if it will be possible to ever make a living working for this company.
Amphion
No Radiology Accounts
Amphion
Try Amphion. I start with them tomorrow and so far I have been treated like a queen!!!!!
Amphion
I actually just tested for them today. I haven't heard anything back though. How long did it take them to conctact you after you completed the test?

Aren't they great! I work for them also.
