I don't think MedQuist owns Lanier.

We used Lanier at a small hospital in a very small town before I went to work for MedQuist.


MedQuist OWNS Diskriter and Lanier...nm
nm
I believe Medquist owns
DQS and leases it to other companies and hospitals.
Yes it does. MQ bought Lanier in October 2003.
..
Anyone know what happened to Jeanne S, Jason and Jamie of ML&M, whom Lanier bought out in Atlanta, t

We also use Lanier at our hospital and yes MedQuist does own them
now as per our service representatives....

Lanier (Medquist) Internet System

Hi Wondering if anyone can give me some info on Lanier (which is Medquist now) internet based system.  What is it called...is there one other than DocQScribe?  I think we are going to be changing over and I'd like a heads up on what to expect from the software...


Thanks in advance.


What do you think of CBay. Medquist has been bought by CBay.nm

I think Lanier is only compatible with Lanier; however, call a techie guy to be sure. sm
DAC and Dictaphone are compatible with Dictaphone, DVI and VDI systems. Lanier is a monster all of its own! Unless you rerecord from the Lanier and then use the Lanier VXP player, as the MT companies do.
Since they have a Lanier account, just how did you think you could get a test without a Lanier?
only by them doing a re-record to make the test file in .wav format so you could take the test? That's why the sound quality is so bad. In addition, you want a degree of poor quality in your test files. Because that weeds out the quitters.
Focus bought by Nuance/Dictaphone, DRC bought by Acusis. nm

Phillips- I thought this was MQ. nm

Phillips Transcription
Is this a branch of Medquist?  Where is it located?  Just curious.  I heard that Medquist was owned by Phillips Electronics.
any input on Phillips MT company?

if anyone can provide information please


Phillips Medical Trans.
Anyone heard of Phillips Medical Transcription in Washington State?  Any info. would sure be appreciated. Thanks much.......
Phillips Medical Transcription

Anyone have experience with Phillips Medical Transcription? Is pay on time, etc.? Thank you very much!


Phillips Medical Transcription
I don't think so. It's in Olympia, Washington.
I do DSS files. Mine are done by a doc who uses Phillips digital recorder (sm)
They are compacted so they are smaller files. They can be played by many wav players including GearPlayer, Bytescribe and the free ExpressScribe. No special software is needed to transcribe them.
It is obvious that you were not there in 2002 - because you would know
who I am, but it is apparent that you do not. So I suggest, that unless you want a face to face confrontation with a legal representative, you need to back off. Thank you.
If someone was fired in 2002,
how would they know what's going on in 2006?
Have 2007 BMW, before that 2002 BMW, now
that is is almost 2008, well will just have to see what my better half wants to do. He buys me these, surprises me. I do not know what it cost, what he pays each month, don’t care- He says he wants me to have really good drive and he sees that I do.
We use Word 2002 and XP still.

I meant been on since 2002 (not 1992).
nm
I quit in 2002, had enough of their shenanigans. sm
QA itself was inconsistent compounded by stars and apples ratings, it was time to move on.  Then when a friend's pay got docked because she was a half point lower than the QA requirement, that pretty much told the tale.  They've since stopped the docking but the threat of doing so is absurd.
desertflour - you are absolutely wrong - I was there in 2002 and I do not have
2 names. You obviously have me confused with someone. Dee White was my boss. I temped there. And my dear hubby says I can post my comments. So sad about how your life has turned out.
Area prefix is 366, founded in 2002
Sorry that's all I remember
Their web site is dated 2002. I never got an email reply when I sent one within
s
I have 2002, here is how mine is set to double space after sentences --sm
Open word.

Type a mispelled word, then press F7 to spellcheck.

Click on options. In the writing style box, mine says grammar only. Click on settings below that. Then you can select 2 spaces after a period in sentences.

Does that work for you?
Wonder if they folded or got sold. Their webpage is dated 2002! nm

SPI owns OSI now?
?
MQ developed and owns DQS.

Maybe Nuance owns them, so they are
x
Mike, can you tell me who owns this company?
Just curious. I used to work for a lady who owned a company in Louisiana many years ago and she had a bad rep re: paying. Last I heard she moved to Arizona.
Who owns or operates Diskriter?
I did know, but I forget.  Anyone know?
Wonder if the same MTSO still owns that company.....nm
xx
Medscribe owns another company too

I think it may be Southscribe.  Does anyone know?  I cannot recall the name of the other transcription company they own, but it is definitely in Georgia.


 


 


Transcend owns MDI-FL but each is run separately...sm
Hope this helps!
Just guessing but it might be the woman who owns KS??
nm
MQ owns DQS software. They developed it
NM
What?!?!? You clearly have NO idea what you are talking about! The "man" who owns TT
does NOT own the building they are working in. He is NOT a real estate investor. He has worked in transcription for years and was with L&H prior to their acquisition by MQ (as was the rest of the office staff). TT absolutely does NOT finagle their line counts. If you know anything about TT, you know that the Dictaphone ExText platform has had trouble for the last couple of months and they have gone out of their way to keep us informed.

You obviously have some sort of personal ax to grind with TT. It is YOU who needs to stop spreading TT misinformation. You need to be very careful about what you post.
Nuance owns escription and Dictaphone
Are your referring to Dictaphone Extext? Which Nuance system?
That's not true, my friend owns a payday business
and if you borrow $300.00 you pay $45.00 for that loan ending up paying back a total of $345.00.  Maybe that was just a very unfortunate situation of your friend. 
A friend of mine is a male and owns a transcription company. sm
He has no problem getting accounts and is quite wealthy from it. So, do not let your gender deter you!

His company is RX Transcription in Newtown Square, PA. Give him a call and maybe he can help you.
Full Circle Transcription in Acworth, GA. Does anyone know who owns this company? SM
Please email me if you do.  I may like to contact them and would just like to know ahead of time whom I'll be emailing.

These centers also provide nutrition services, social services, activities, housekeeping, and laundry services. The company’s assisted living centers offer dressing, bathing, meal preparation, and medication management services. It provides medical and rehabilitation programs for patients recovering from major surgery; severe injury; or cardiovascular, respiratory, infectious, endocrine, or neurological illnesses. The company also offers home health care service, as well as services and facilities for patients suffering from Alzheimer’s disease; hospice services that focus on the physical, spiritual, and psychosocial needs; services related to wound care and dressing changes; infusion therapy; cardiac rehabilitation; and physical, occupational, and speech therapies, as well as assists with daily activities, such as personal hygiene, assistance with walking and getting in and out of bed, medication management, and light housekeeping.

Further, Manor Care owns a medical transcription company that converts medical dictation into electronically formatted patient records. The company operates primarily under the Heartland, ManorCare, and Arden Courts names. As of December 31, 2005, it operated 276 nursing facilities and 65 assisted living facilities in 30 states, primarily in Florida, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. As of the same date, the company operated 91 outpatient therapy clinics located in Midwestern and Mid-Atlantic states, Texas, and Florida. Manor Care was founded in 1991 and is headquartered in Toledo, Ohio.

The Indian owner also owns a residential home in KY, that's where the KY part comes in. sm
The lead MT is in San Antonio, TX, but as the other poster said, the headquarters are in India and 99% of the people you deal with are in India, some city that begins with an A, can't remember.  They are nice people, but they should be honest about it. 
To my knowledge, the owner still lives in India, simply owns a home here. sm

The work is received FROM the Indian office and sent TO the Indian office.  They used to hire only American MTs, but then started outsourcing to a company in India (big surprise).


I understand what you are saying, though.  And if they are honest about it, then it is the choice of the MT as to whether he/she wants to work there.  The fact that they blatantly misled in their ad angered me, but then again, I have been an MT long enough, nothing should surprise me.  I guess I have done my part, and I have no particular axe to grind so I should just leave this alone now.  I just was shocked when I saw the ad. 


Good luck to all of us in finding a job that treats us well and pays us even better (smile).


SPI Healthcare Doc
I work there now and am very happy. Make a list of questions you have and when the supervisor calls you, make sure you ask them. That way you won't be misinformed by what you read on this board.
Welcome to Healthcare
Healthcare is a 24/7 industry. If you want to work Monday-Friday perhaps you should change jobs.
Meridian Healthcare

Meridian Healthcare used to be PTS. I worked for PTS, and we ran out of work a lot. There was very poor communication when I was there.  When work was low, manager wouldn't respond to emails or voice mail.


Hope that helps!
