Neither. You can copy into Word but cannot copy back into Emdat.

No special software. Just copy and paste the report you typed to Microsoft Word on your
computer. Under the Tools menu, select Word Count. Characters are listed with or without spaces. Take the total of either and divide by 65 to get your line count. Then match that with what your company is giving you for a line count.

If you don't have Microsoft Word, then you can download a free trial of Abacus line counting software from the internet.
The platform is Word. Their program works with Word but does not change how Word works. nm
The benefits just changed the first part of this month. I don't have them but I remember them being reasonabl for a single person. Family and spouse was not reasonable in any way (in my opinion).
small to medium company that works in Word or Word-based program - email me. nm
nm
ExText is integrated with Word. Auto correct is a part of Word.
ExText is a Word based platform. When the page opens for you to type the document it will be just like you are typing in MS Word.
anyone work for Oracle - do they use Word or a Word-based program - e-mail me nm

Their program works with Word and does not change how Word functions. sm
You use your own expander. Overall I feel it is user friendly and I like it.
They pay better than that now. They do not supply PC
but just like all the other companies, they do require Tues-Sat or Sun-Thurs. They are nice people to work for. I have been there a few weeks.
They do supply equipment for a (sm)
nominal lease fee.  No weekends unless you want to work them.
which companies supply pc's

 


Does anyone know which transcription companies who supply the pc's offer good line rates and are good to work for?  I am almost burned out trying to find a good company to work for.


yes, they do supply the computer, but
it'll tke them FOREVER to get it out of your house when/if you quit. I quit in Feb. and am STILL looking at that stupid machine. I still continue to get company emails, my emails go unanswered.... Communication is severely lacking, always was IMO....
OSi used to supply computers - not sure if they still do
N/M
They only supply the tower. Nothing else. nm

Do they supply C-phone?

do they supply computers?

Will they supply a computer? Then
If they supply computer equipment, then that could be a reason. So far the only company that ever asked me for permission to do a check is a company that would have supplied the hardware. Otherwise, I have never heard of a company wanting to check a credit report.
Do they not supply another account if you run out? (NM)

Did everyone have to supply their own computer?

I had to turn down a job because I did not have XP on my personal computer.  I only spoke to one supervisor via email and she said I needed my own PC. 


Does anyone know where to find a good deal on XP?


Thanks.


Do you have to supply your own computer?

When I applied I was told I needed my own computer with XP.  The computer I have, XP I do not.  I cannot seem to find XP for a reasonable price either.  Is this still what they ask for or has it changed?


 


Thanks


they supply the cphone, but...sm
the accounts they have with C-phones are really AWFUL!
Supply and Demand?
I would wonder if it's not more an issue of most MTs wanting to use their on computers. My Mom, sister, and I all are transcriptionists and there's no way we'd work on anyone else's computer. First, I've got to have my laptop. I don't want a big, clunky desktop taking up space in my house. We already have 4 other laptops anyway (we homeschool). There isn't any room for anything else. Also, I've got to be able to work anywhere I happen to be. I have a strict 8-hour shift but that doesn't mean I have to be home to work. I'd be too nervous traveling as much as I do with someone else's equipment.
Supply and demand
This is what drives wages more than anything ,and because of offshoring and VR, demand is down. Don't know about supply, but the schools keep cranking out MTs, so it's probably pretty steady. As long as MTSOs have a large pool of MTs to choose from, downward pressure on wages will continue. Has nothing to do with what we think we are worth. Companies will only pay what they have to pay. This is true in every industry.
Does the Emdat platform use Word or is it Word-based? nm
nm
they supply you with everything - you are not allowed to use your personal
computer for their work. Be forewarned - When you get their equipment, do not play or surf the internet for anything other than work related. They do monitor it. Use your own personal computer for personal emails and surfing outside of work related things.
any companies supply computers for ICs? - nm

Their job is to supply the work, my job is to transcribe it!
Supply me with work and let me do my job! I am keeping up my end of the deal.

companies that supply computer

Are there any good companies that allow part time work and furnish the computer, also?


 


yes they do, everything you need computer wise they supply. sm
very friendly user platform, pay always on time and correct, great bosses, great benefits, great sound quality, great QA people, all around a great place to work. Come on over to Webmedx. You will be glad you did.
Does Focus infomatics always supply

computers to MTs who work for them?  I ask because I'd rather use my own computer.  I'm a little leary of hooking up someone else's computer to mine even with a router.  I don't want the risk of any viruses or company Spyware or anything like that affecting my own personal computer.  Can anyone shed some good light on this matter?  Thanks in advance for your help.  God Bless.


To correct answers above, they do supply

C-phone and/or foot pedal.  They do not supply computer.  I was hired less than 2 months ago and they provided equipment and had placed an order for more so doesn't sound like they are phasing that out.  Starting pay for everyone is 8 cpl and after 90 days is reevaluated based on quality and difficulty of the account and can go as high as 9.5 cpl.  You should receive a letter via e-mail stating this when you get a response to your resume.  I don't know when the instituted this as cpl varied at one time.


They use ShortHand as an expander.   You can download a 30-day trial from the ShortHand website and KS can give you a key to make it permanent. 


Does etrans supply the computer? TIA

Webmedx does supply an expander, it is

ShortHand.  I never worked for MQ and I've been gone from Webmedx for a month, but I left because there was consistently no work on any of my accounts.  One day I got 4 reports all day long and that was sitting in front of the computer for an entire 12-hour shift and checking every few minutes.   There was plenty of work on some accounts, but I was told I couldn't work on them. 


They have their own platform called Enterprise and I there were several issues with slowness, it locking up, losing reports, etc.  They kept updating promising fixes but I never saw any positive results.  They had production tiers, but because of so many problems with the account and lack of work there was no way to reach them.  I believe they have restructured the way it is done though so it may be easier now, provided there is work.


I am no fan of Webmedx, but from what I've read about MQ there is no way I would consider them.  Check the archives or read the MQ board here. 


 


MDI doesn't supply a computer,
so you have to have your own.  I take it your current company does supply your computer, in which case - yes - you should use your own computer.
Which companies supply computer? sm

Looking for a dependable company that supplies the computer and everything you need.  Are there any ones left? 


Thanks.


You will not be able to copy those from a MQ
computer. Believe me, I tried EVERYTHING! My husband is a computer whiz and said they have some kind of lock on their system that you cannot copy or transfer to another computer, sorry, but like me, you'll just have to redo your expander, I know it's crap, but you'll make yourself crazy trying to copy it, cause it just won't happen.
They use Dictaphone's ExText and will supply the pedal. nm

Will TransTech supply a computer if needed?
Also, who is the pay at Transtech and how often are you paid?
They do supply standard, but I have connected my IBM keyboard.

What type of software is required at TT and what do they supply? nm

A company is not required to supply anything to an employee. The problem sm
is when ICs are supplied with equipment; they cannot be supplied with anything or they are employees.

Other professions need to have their own equipment, references, etc. This is not just in transcription.
I was told when I applied that if you need a computer KS will supply you with one, you then make pay
until it is paid off! Not a bad deal, and a good way to get a new computer.
did you have to purchase equipment for this service to work or do they supply - nm

copy typing
What exactly is copy typing? Just curious. Thanks
Did you ask for a copy of the test?
Just curious.
Copy and Paste....

I have a few of my own standards in MS Word that I will copy and paste into Meditech, but I find the tabs do not translate over to Meditech. Do you have this problem as well? It is aggravating because I have to fix these when I go back to the Meditech screen


Look at the copy of the fraudulent
resignations email that you received:

WHAT is written in From:......?

WHAT is written in
TO:..... ?

Doesn't this give you a clue?

Can't you use this as evidence that it is a fraudulent email, NOT sent by you???
thanks for the copy and paste--sm
but latest and related are not the same thing. all I am seeing are posts that were placed after mine and nothing in relation to the original post questioning the company. sorry again.
