Serving Over 20,000 US Medical Transcriptionists

ALL those who dictate

should be informed that their transcription will only be as good as their dictation! I'm also tired of listening to dictators who sound as if they're speaking underwater or with their mouth stuffed with cotton!

I just leave more blanks now than I did as I'm just tired of having to spend time trying to figure out their mumblings.

E-Dictate...sm
Anyone have info regarding this company?
I do some NPs who dictate for doctors
Just seem to have a little trouble pronouncing some words..It's kinda funny, but I always know what they are trying to say.
Not trying to dictate what is posted..
This is a forum where people come to get answers and share information. Most people know that there are archives...no need to post that to every question.

You tell the OP to do their research...that is exactly what they are doing by posting a question here. If you can't answer the question that the person has asked (other than with a snide remark), why post at all?
As an IC, an MTSO cannot dictate your
hours or production. However, if you signed a contract for a specific amount of lines, they can hold you to that. However, legally they cannot hold you to specific hours UNLESS you tell them specific times you will be working.

An IC means the freedom to set your hours. Where I work, I let them know when I can work and how much work I can take. All I have to do is have it in by a certain time the next day. I can work at 4 p.m. or 2 a.m., whatever I want.
A company cannot dictate your hours if
you are an IC.  If you are an employee, they can! 
Or the ones who dictate a whole sentence while yawning!

As a true IC, an employer cannot dictate
your hours, you decide when you work. However, they have the right to terminate anyone who they think is not working out to what they need. They can request you work, but they cannot force an IC to work.
An MTSO cannot dictate the hours you
work or hte amount; however, they can stimulate that the only hours work is available is such and such, so if you want to work for them, that is when you work. It is your choice.

There is nothing wrong with an IC committed to a specific set of hours. It is their choice of when to work and they want to work M-F, 10 to 6, and tell the MTSO that, that the MTSO will expect them to work unless they are notified otherwise--there is nothing wrong with the MTSO expecting the IC to work when they say they will.
What do you mean the president is going to dictate how transcription gets done?
I don't think the President has any feelings whatsoever in how transcription gets done. His idea is to go to EMR - that has nothing to do with not having transcription - that has to do with the way the transcription is stored - electronically, not paper.

I worked for a hospital that has had EMR for years now and believe me, we had more transcription waiting on us every day than we could possibly do.
Anybody ever heard of a company called E-Dictate? (sm)

If so, are they good, bad, or somewhere in between? How are they to work for?


Anyone else lucky enough to have all nurses dictate for doctors?
I just started a new account and can hardly believe my good fortune--all nonESL nurses dictating for the doctors for a specialty clinic. What a joy after the last account I had!
Split shifts are allowed. You can dictate your
shift within a Tu-Sa, or Sun-Thurs schedule.
