In Reply to: You can get XP through Dell - XP

and click on either desktop or laptop, on the far right side of the screen is an icon asking if you are looking for XP.  If you click on that, it takes you to a screen offering XP on the same machines that show Vista, and the price looks comparable.  I have not gone any further, as I am not looking yet, but it does look as though XP is offered at a reasonable price through Dell.  If anyone else knows any more, please let me know.  TIA.

HI Dell. You have more MTs than I do

and I can see how that can get to be a problem.  I have experienced that before, where an MT will just figure I'll know what it is right away, so why waste HER time looking it up (one actually said that to me - ACK!)


But so far what has worked for me is being downright snobbish about who I have working for me.  Fortunately I worked with several really excellent MTs before I became an MTSO, so once I started getting accounts I hand picked the best of the best.  I pay them well, but I expect them to be so good that really I don't even need to proof their work; I trust them that much.  They will occasionally have a question or ask me to listen to something, but that's pretty rare.


Now when I get to the point that I need more MTs, and I may need to coming up in a month or so as I may be adding a big account, then I am going to run out out of good MTs that I know...so I will be in the same boat.


I think most of the national companies require 98% on quality checks.


One thing you might do is offer an incentive - review their work for a period of time and pay one amount for MTs whose work you don't really have to check, and then a graduated scale from there.  Those whose work has to be gone over with a fine toothed comb shouldn't make as much, as you are spending your valuable time proofing their reports.  Those who are worth their salt will step up to the plate.

I heard back but pay is low.
You can get XP through Dell
if you go through Dell Small Business. I just bought a new computer from them and it came with a choice of either XP or Vista, and it didn't cost me any extra to get XP. They only do this through their business division though, not home/home office.
thanks, i just ordered one from Dell also...
Inspiron that could be customized with XP.
Question regarding Dell who posted (sm)
some time ago.  I cannot seem to find those posts when I search.  Would someone mind reposting that so I can email him?  I am looking for work.  TIA
Did you check with Dell for a new ' puter?

Just bought one from Dell, asked to have XP on it and
they said they still have a few with XP on it. If you can't find one you will just have to buy XP and have Vista removed from the new computer and then install XP.
Speaking of Dell, isn't it ironic that s/m

the first time you call to place an order, you speak with a pleasant, articulate American, but any call after that goes straight to India?


The last time I called Dell, there was such a communication breakdown that I demanded to speak with an American.


Hey you guys, go ahead and email Dell
because he's probably more in a position than I am to acquire more MTs in the near future.  Mine all depends on an account that I'm not entirely sure of yet.  But if you would like to email me anyway I will keep your information in case I do.  The account I may have is an ortho clinic acct and what I would like to do if I get the account is have maybe 3 MTs share 2 or 3 doctors; that way they can all be familiar with all the doctors but also if anyone didn't want to work any given day the other 2 could take up the slack and cover for the MT who is off.  And I don't even know at all that I will get the account or if I do when it will be - but I will keep your info just in case!
You can buy XP from Dell. I started with a different company about 2 months ago and sm
had to buy a new Dell as Vista did not work for them either. Most of the companies do not take Vista. It just doesn't work with everything yet.

You can buy XP from Dell Small Business section.

You must be psychic. I just ended up going on Ebay today and bought a Dell with Windows XP on it.
I originally went through Dell directly but they charged $400 more for the same computer because they were customizing it with Windows XP as now all the computer came standard with Vista. Apparently not so customized..haha.. better deals on Ebay.. I LOVE EBAY..
You should check out the Nuance website and the Focus website
Nuance is Dictaphone and since a lot of use Dictaphone equipment, you can say we all have something to do with this. If you are surprised at the website above, look at the US website of nuance. Just IMHO and try to get both sides of the corporation.
It's not at the IRS website. It is in my state website.
It is clearly written that any employer out of state is bound by the laws of my state as far as taxes. Look at your state website.
Their website does not say that (nm)

Do they have a website or an ad somewhere?
I have decided I have had enough with the company-who-will-not-be-named. I admit I can't take it anymore, though I thought I would retire with them! I would love to work for a nice NJ company - Jerser girl that I am. I am looking for a nice company with work, so they sound like a match. Can anyone share how to get in contact with them? I'll be googling in the meantime, but would appreciate any other contact info!
Do they have a website? TIA

Good luck. I know how hard it can be to find a good company. I, again, absolutely LOVE DSG and all the supervisors! They also give positive feedback, which is another hard thing to find in a supervisor/company.

Could you give me the name..I searched but found nothing.

website- sm
It is www.dsg-inc.net.  Their website doesn't give a lot of information but here is what I know.  It is IC status, they have about 180 to 200 MTs.  Minimum for PT is 2500 lines a week, I can't remember what fulltime was but I think it was 5000 lines a week.  You don't have a set schedule, you can work when you want and like I said earlier about the weekends.  They use DocQScribe as their platform.  I've had people tell me that they have a hard time getting work with them but when I talked to the recruiter she said that they had one of their largest accounts that had started sending in more dictation and they were behind pretty bad.  She said that she expected the large amount of dictation to continue and not have a problem getting work.  I turned down the position and went with somebody else but they were my second choice of all the companies I had talked to.  They sounded like a good fit for me. 
Does anyone have website for MDI-MD?

I can't find it.


 


Website for MDI..
www.mditrans.com
Go to IRS website and - sm
do a search for independent contractor and it gives very specific guidelines to what an independent contractor is.  If they are not following those guidelines then they are breaking the law. 
Website sm
Their website isn't down.  I just checked.  Web address is meridianhcs.com.  Doesn't offer any information, though.
D - do they have a website sm

About how much do they pay for acute care?


Thanks


Website
No website.  It is my understanding she is in the process of getting one up.  She started me out at 10 cpl with spaces, but I had 10 years' experience when I started with her.  I don't know what she starts out at now.  I just know what she started me at.  She gives yearly raises as long as it is deserved with quality/quantity/work patterns. 
MDI-FL website
I currently work for MDI-FL and LOVE it there. I have worked for five companies so far this year alone before finally finding MDI-FL. Finally back to making money and have never run out of work yet. The website is medicaldictation.com. Good luck!
