Be careful on the Equipment Board here - sm
There is a troll that pops up from time to time scamming people who need C phones - whatever you do, NEVER pay for any equipment via Western Union or personal check and be especially weary of one particular troll from Oklahoma (no offense to the good people of Oklahoma).  I would be more comfortable on eBay.
They do have an Ad in the Classifieds

They listed this on March 14, 2006.  Hope this answers your question.

Equipment
You can rent a C-phone or Lanier unit from them, but you have to provide your own computer. You have to pay your own LD charges. No benefits as we are statutory employees. I've been with MDI for 18 months and have been very happy there.
Equipment?
Just hired.  They require a $40 dollar lease payment a month for special pedal needed.
You must use their equipment, for which there is $200
zz
No, I have all my own equipment. sm
My checks were short and late from the very first check.
Equipment
I know that KS just stopped providing equipment. I asked my lead why and she told me flat out that it was taking a FT person to keep track of it, the shipping costs were getting out of hand and they were no longer going to stock endless supplies of it all.

When they made the decision, the owner contacted us all and offered it all dirt cheap: Pedals were $50, c-phones $100 and Lanier machines $200.

I have worked for many, far too many IMO, MTSOs and have always had to have my own equipment. It is part of being an MT.

I have been with KS for 2 years. During that time, they have been fair to me, have paid me on time and correctly and have always provided me with enough work to pay my bills, send 2 kids to college (2 more years and I am done!!!!!) and no have to depend on an ex-husband who does not always remember that child support is not optional.

If someone did not have to pay for their equipment, perhaps they worked something out with the office; I am sure if someone could not afford to purchase, even with being able to break it into 4 payments, the owner would have made special arrangements and probably just gave it to them. They're like that there. They look out for their own.


This is your job. You need to have the necessary equipment
A fax machine is standard equipment in the year 2007.  If you work from home, you need to have the basics.  Either that or pay the $1.50 a page and DEFINITELY do NOT complain to the company about it. 
Equipment is now on the way...
I'll get it 30 something days after hire. So things are moving...just veeeery slowly.
Equipment - SM
All accounts are on different platforms and require different equipment. Some of them will require that you have your own C-phone or Lanier system with unlimited long distance. My 2 accounts are internet-based, so all I need are my transnet/Dictaphone pedal and my other acount just uses a USB wav pedal. They supplied me with the Dictaphone pedal when I started a year ago, but I already had my own USB pedal, which I use for my backup account. Each account is different, so you will want to ask them what equipment you will need. You will need your won computer, however.
Equipment
Precyse Solutions provides equipment.
MQ equipment....sm
Your friend shouldn't have to pay for the shipping. If MQ wants their equipment back, they need to send pre-paid UPS boxes.

I left MQ about 8 years ago. I held onto their equipment for at least 6 months. I contacted them several times. I was moving and didn't have the space for it anymore. Since they neglected to send boxes, I finally tossed the hard-drive into the back of a Rumpke garbage truck. I made sure I witnessed it being crushed to cover my a$$. The system was DOS and they had just transitioned onto their web-based platform, which is probably why they had no use for it.
Equipment
They only provide the foot pedal...no PC. They also sent me Stedman's electronic medical dictionary and spell checker software as well as quick look drug reference software.
equipment
TTS also requires you to buy Word 2003 out of pocket.
What equipment do I need?
I can't go into more debt buying pedals and systems that won't work with them. So far I have a wav pedal. Anything else?

I've heard such mixed reviews from them, I don't know what to think. I just know I need a job.
equipment
I never heard of the FOB, either.

You do need a specific foot pedal to work on Bayscribe. There are tons of foot pedals and not all are configured to work with every platform.

I agree that the Baycribe platform was simple to set up, and there were rarely any technical issues with it - only when it was down for maintenance by the owner (not Landmark).

Landmark did have some accounts that used ExText and that would require a different foot pedal.
Companies =can use my own equipment?
Any suggestions on companies where you can use your own PC.
Spheris equipment

Looking for current info about their computers/equip.  Do they rent theirs, or can you use yours?  Deposit? Rental fee?  I see different things in the archives regarding this.  TIA


Spheris equipment
You pay a deposit at start (a couple of pay periods). If there are any problems, you call the Help Desk (available 24/7). If there are any major problems, they send you a new one.
They do supply equipment for a (sm)
nominal lease fee.  No weekends unless you want to work them.
don't they provide equipment...sm
even if you are an SE. I know I worked as an SE for them before, and used their equipment.  So, why were you providing your own?
Upgrade equipment
Upgrading your equipment, I cant make enough money to pay for upgrading the equipment!  I have been sitting here all day, since 7:30 this morning, trying to get a decent line count and Im still only at around 500 lines..hardly any work all day..just about the worst I have ever seen it.  If and when I decide to move on, Im gonna have to go with a company that supplies the equipment.  Right now, this pay check I probably will just about be able to pay my bills and I need new tires!  LOL!  Well, I will be sitting here tonight till about midnight, hopefully some work will build up in the system.
Keystrokes Equipment
It's true, and it is a new policy, Keystrokes no longer supplies any equipment.  You have to have your own C-phone or Lanier.
Do they make you pay for equipment? sm...
Thinking about applying.  Do they have an equipment rental fee?  Do they reimburse internet?  Do they require unilimited long distance or is it all internet based?  How is the pay for radiology transcription?  Weekly or biweekly pay?  Anything? or everything? for someone who knows. Thanks much!
