I'm looking for a decent national company. It's really important that they provide the computer since mine is ancient and they accept satellite internet because I live in rural Maine and that's all available here. I support a 4-person household and really need a company that's dependable. I was looking in Webmedx, Transcript USA, and Transcription Relief Services. Anyone know anything about any of those. Not interested in Diskriter, Transcend, JLG, Spheris, or Precyse. Oh also, are all the companies going to ASR now? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Are there a lot of ESLs on the accounts?  Seems like every place I have ever worked typing cardio....the ESLs far outnumbered the EFLs.  Thanks.

if anyone can provide information please

Hi,

You answered my post yesterday with a little information about SFG facility.  Could you please email me privately.  I am in SW Missouri.  Thanks

because I had to get a new computer. 

Can anybody send me a list BY EMAIL PLEASE for all the group 3 emails? 

Just curious who recommends any of these companies and why.

Thx

and had some unused PTO.  Anybody know how long I'll have to wait to get this? I tried to e-mail payroll to ask, but it won't go through because it's not an internal e-mail.  Thanks for any information...

I have heard that if you work for Spheris that you have to buy their computer and that it is very costly. Can someone tell me if this is true.

What do we know about Transtech Medical Solutions?  I tried a search and found nothing.  They don't just use ICs, do they?  You can get employee status?  Pay range?  Ease of use of platform?  Anything?  Will my GearPlayer work?  ShortHand compatible? 

Does anyone have an opinion of which is better to work for?

I am considering accepting a position with them and want to see who is happy there and who isn't and why.  I have a few questions.  I just want to make sure that I make the right decision because I want to stay put for good somewhere.

Do they make you work your full 8 if you get your minimum line requirements for the day?  I am a high producer and will be doing 1600 lines a day minimum and do not want to work more than 6-7 hours.  Most places are happy as long as you do good production.

Pay decent?

QA respectable?  How strict is QA and do they do reviews to check your QA score?  I have never worked that way.  I don't want that kind of pressure on me.  I just do my work and get a few reports sent back that had blanks for me to review and learned that way and eventually would have maybe 3-5 blanks a day once used to an account. 

Thank you.......

I started working for this company (if you want to call it working).  I am only  allowed to do 10 reports a day until off QA and their QA is so back and forth- verbatum wait no add words wait no why did you add words AAAH. Nice people, but its driving me crazy.  Then there are these constant emails about backlog, but like I said I am only allowed 10 a day and I can only work on the one account.  I am a little frustrated.  I have been in this business for 10 years and left for awhile, but stepping back in.  Any suggestions?  Anyone who works for them and got over this hump and all was okay?

TIA

Looking at their editing job, they say sometimes editors have to transcribe, and when they do transcribe they get 6 cpl. Is that true?

If it's true, how often do the editors have to transcribe?

Log sheet has several in and out slots, but what do you do for example a telephone call from the school that took 10 minutes. You were in the middle of a report so you couldn't sign off, do you note this too as well as lunch breaks or longer breaks?  Don't want my time sheet to show I worked more than 8 hours when I actually didn't. 

How do you all do it? 

I was contacted by a company named Klaar. What's the low-down on them. They say they pay .08 a line. Sounds too easy to me. They haven't asked me to pay for their software yet. I will turn down the job if they do.

I would appreciate any feedback on them.

Does New England Medical Transcription still use this? Do you find it easy to get lines on? Does anyone care to share how many lines they get in an hour with Chartnet?

Thanks!

have not been working for nearly 2 years....just wondering what companies are out there these days that are hiring.....any suggestions appreciated....thanks

I was wondering if anyone can give me a website or tell me of a company (if they even exist) for internet for people on the go. Not for medical transcription exactly, just typical internet usage.   I'm not talking about WiFi hotspots at like a Starbucks or a hotel-- I'm just talking about something like a satellite internet for laptops.  I hope this doesn't sound stupid. 

Thanks a bunch for any comments/suggestions.
