Does anybody work on 3 computers at the same time with only 1 DSL connection? Could you tell me how to do it so each is secure from the other and compliant? Thanks in advance for any information.

MDI-FL - MDI-MD - NO CONNECTION

There is no connection between MDI-MD and MDI-FL.  I have not heard good things about FL. 


I have been with MDI-MD for over 2 years, have never run to of work if I was willing to type a secondary account, have had very positive supervision and QA, and am making an excellent line rate.  I wish I had found this company earlier in my career because it's great. 


Unfortunately, I am just totally burned out on transcription in general.  This pay rate is what is keeping me here another year or 2 until retirement.


 


No connection as far as I know...is there?

FutureNet/MQ connection?

I know this has been brought up many times, but on the MQ web site there is a question to Frank that states which programs you call which office for and guess what -- FutureNet was mentioned as one of their platforms. 

I always felt they were connected, I knew Carole fromYOG used to have something to do with Futurenet and then she sold to MQ so......


 


 


 


Is there any connection between MQ & Spryance ??
Just curious !!!!
transcription connection
I was just wondering if anyone could help me with some information. Does anyone know how I can get ahold of MaryEllen Newman at the transcription connection in Ohio. Does the company sill exist. Any help would be greatly appreicated.
I think it was Transcription Connection, known as TCI. nm

DTS internet connection
Do you know if they allow a dial up or satellite internet connection?  Do they have employee status or IC?

Anyone ever worked for transcripotion connection? They are out of Ohio. 
Keystrokes connection? sm
Do you have accounts that allow satellite internet connection? Thanks.

Anyone work for Transcription Connection, Inc. out of Ohio? 
What is the connection between AAMT and HPI?

What is the connection between AAMT and HPI? I was printing off articles to send to my Aunt. The ads reminded me of a circle jerk site the way they were saying use our materials AAMT will certify your school. 


 


 


What kind of connection do you need?

I'm still waiting for a fast connection (one is coming within 5 months), but sometimes go to WIFI hot spots to work.  Does TransTech's platform work with any kind of connection?  Some of the MTs that used to work where I am working now have bailed to TT and seem happy and relieved. 


Does Transtech have any offshore affiliations?


Do they allow you to stay on familiar accounts or do they jumble your accounts and authors? 


 


Satellite connection
I am moving and looking for companies that allow internet work using a satellite connection rather than a DSL  or cable co. as neither of these are available in the area.  Thanks if anyone works using satellite or knows of companies that allow this. 
Transcription Connection/TCI sm
They've got a new pilot program starting.  Anyone hear about it?  I'm not interested but wondering if this is the old TCI or is it a refurbished one?
Transcription Connection sm
They dare to ask for verification of a per line rate?  As an IC you can charge what you want to who you want - I cannot believe what some companies ask for and what some ICs are willing to provide.
Transcription Connection
Transcription Connection in Lynchburg Ohio has been a good company to work for. Smaller so it's a little more personal. Good pay, several work types, all IC.
Connection Problems
I had some problems yesterday that worked themselves out, but today around 11:30 I started having trouble. None of MDI's suggestions have worked for me thus far!
Computers
Try calling the Corporate office for Foxboro and see what you get. I worked in New Jersey and the site closed and corporate there is where you have to call for things. Hope this helps.
Computers

What type of computers do most of you prefer to do transcription? Laptops or desktops? And if you do use laptops do any of you travel and take your work?


Some of us use our own computers, though.

TT computers
They will lease one for a pretty reasonable fee, $9.00 a pay period. Plus, they are go out of their way to help their MTs, speaking from personal experience.
I know just about enough about computers

to be dangerous.  Mostly when things go squirrely I just close down everything I can, reboot and cross my fingers.  Amazing how many problems are solved that way.  But I guess I should not even own the computer at all, by some people's reasoning.


I had a courier job once, briefly.  I used my personal car to deliver packages from point A to point B.  To me a car is a thing with four wheels on the ground and one in my hands.  I don't really know much about the internal combustion engine, don't really want to know much.  (I do know how to open the hood and stare at the engine - which is all most guys know too - then jiggle a wire or two, shake my head, close the hood and call AAA.)  I can do a jump start. I know what to do if it's flooded.  I know where the various fluids go.  End of my automotive expertise.


If I were really stranded somewhere, I might try the bent-hairpin trick, but there are people whose sole area of expertise is diagnosing and fixing cars!  Others whose duty is to haul you there.  There are people whose area of expertise is to fix computer problems.  If I think my efforts might mess things up worse, you bet I'm calling tech support!  Don't get between me and the phone.


Computers
Doubt they'll remove any software but they will quit paying for the antivirus so you won't be able to get the updates anymore once the switch to Triton has taken place.
I got thrown out, lost my connection
called my team leader, who was very nice, and never got back in.  3 hours ago, still have not heard from IT. I am going to stick it out, though, hoping things will work out.
Transcription Connection hands down.
Logs, logs, more logs, spreadsheets. Everything done manually. Tons of scanned patient lists. Even had to look up addresses so the husband could do the envelopes. Insist you count every report with the Word counter (a ripoff). 1/4 of your day spent on crap not included in your line count.
Who pays 9/10 cpl with/sp that allows dial up connection? nm

Transcription Connection in Ohio

Would not ever recommend this company to anyone. Run, run as fast as you can.


 


TRANSCRIPTION CONNECTION IN OHIO

In reply to your post, TCI is an outstanding company to work for. I have always been paid well and paid always on time. They expect quality work from all employees and provide quality dictation to their clients as well as TAT times under 24 hours. All clients are pleased. All MT's employed are VERY happy with TCI.


Any information on Transcription Connection

Transcription Connection out of Ohio...sm
Any info good or bad?  Thanks.
I do believe there is a connection to India from everything that I have found. Other than that,
not much to add.
Companies that definitely allow satellite connection. sm.

I have done an extensive search here and have noted the names of a few companies that allow MTing by satellite besides MedQuist. I'd just like to see if there have been any recent additions of companies that I can go this route with.


Yes, I do know the limitations of most companies with regards to the satellite connection but it is the only high-speed I have available and I need to make a change from MQ and just need to know what companies' systems are compatible with satellite.


Thanks in advance.


Didn't know Transolutions had any connection

I don't think the Transolutions mentioned has any connection to (sm)
the Transolutions based here in the United States. When I clicked on the link of Transolutions from the above website, it brought up a completely different Transolutions than the US-based company?!? Not sure what is going on, but it sure doesn't look like the same company...
Does Proscript pay for internet connection? TIA

Get a KVM switch and you can tie your computers together with (sm)

one keyboard, one monitor and one mouse.  Try Circuit City they have them.  Good luck.


Yes they do lease computers

spheris computers
When I worked for them the computer crashed enough on its own...it didn't need any help.  The screen would go blue and it would say something like beginning dump of physical memory.   I was told it wasn't a problem until it did it several times per shift..then they would replace it.
Spheris computers
I have had several lemons too. It is not the computers that are lemons, it is the management and the company who are lemons.
those new spheris computers
Has anyone noticed how they log on to your computer and rearrange your desktop if they don't like how it looks?  Or how they block you from using normal, everyday websites on the brand new computers? LOL  We are trusted with private medical information but the company has nothing better to do than to spy on everyone and make them feel belittled.  I don't think that is very good for morale.
OSi used to supply computers - not sure if they still do
N/M
They do provide computers, but there is a
charge per pay period, I think about $9 or so. You cannot use the new Window Vista. Everything else they will download if you use your own computer. I took a pay cut to go there but am very happy, and they do have bonus incentives. The accounts are pretty decent. Staff is extremely friendly and cooperative.
I also know a QA with 3 computers for 3 companies
Also on salary not paid by the line.
Focus Computers
I believe that you have to own your own computer.  I work as an IC so I do use my own equipment and write it off at the end of the year for tax purposes.  They supply the software that you need to complete the dictations (EditScript).
do they supply computers?

Actually, with computers, it's a standard to only
Two spaces were used with typewriters to make a document easier to read, but computers have proportional fonts, so the extra spacing after punctuation is no longer necessary. One space has been rule in desktop publishing and it's actually easier to read, IMO, than 2 spaces. It's definitely hard to get used to at first, but it's actually easier once you do and saves keystrokes. Of course, if you've been using 2 and getting paid for the extra space, you'll lose out, but most places seem to prefer one space now. You can sometimes set grammar checks to watch for 2 spaces and alert you so you can change it to only 1. I know Word has that option and it does help when you are transitioning.
I believe Transcription Connection in Ohio uses it for some of their accounts.

Does anyone know if a KVM switch would be usable here to have a net connection while working? nm

Cannot get DSL/cable (no way). Need suggestions on companies hiring with satellite connection. Thank you.
Since DRC was purchased by Acusis, the Indian connection IS there. Look at
