and the software, so you'd have to provide the rest of the equipment (computer, references books, etc.) Their website is www.gimtnet.com

don't they provide equipment...sm
even if you are an SE. I know I worked as an SE for them before, and used their equipment.  So, why were you providing your own?
Do they provide equipment?
Also, do they have IC positions?

These used to provide equipment
Medquist (NJ), OSi (GA), Transcend (GA), Amphion (WI), Transtech (TX).
Are there any companies out there that provide equipment

for their transcriptionists?  I am finally able to get high speed internet services in my area and am anxious to get started working at home. 


Thank you for any information. 



Companies that provide Equipment?
I am wondering if there are still any companies that provide equipment.  I have almost 20 years of experience, have a pentium processor and Windows XP, but I do not have a foot pedal... Does anyone know off hand?
Go to Webmedx. They provide equipment.
I love my job there.
Which companies provide equipment?
Just wondering which companies provide equipment, i.e., computer.  Thanks in advance.
What companies provide equipment?

Does Transcend provide computer equipment
for employees?
What kind of equipment, if any, does Deventure provide? sm
I went on their website and it didn't really have any information like that.  I applied for one their positions on the Job Seekers Board, but I thought maybe I need to find out as much as I could before I talk with them, that is if they want to talk to me!  Thanks.
webmedx and spheris provide equipment

Focus DOES NOT provide equipment, only headaches

Don't they provide all equipment, etc., at no charge? All things considered....
I've never worked for them, although after applying and passing their test quite awhile ago, they continually email me. I've never accepted because their constant advertising campaigns remind me of used-car salesmen.

I think they and Diskriter both provide everything though, so that's a perk for anyone with an older system.

What good companies provide computer, etc. without charge for that equipment?

Do you know of any companies that provide computer, with or without cost to the MT?


you have to pay for the footpedal ($106).nm

Footpedal
If I remember right MQ uses Docqscribe? The company I work for also uses this. I went to the Express Scribe web site and they have all the instructions on how to get your foot pedal to work with Express Scribe. My pedal works with both depending on which program I have open now, very happy about that!
Thanks - can you use a footpedal? nm

footpedal
Thanks so much for the advice. So is a USB footpedal different than a wav pedal? Just want to make sure before I look on ebay. I guess I will look it up on Google and see what they have to say. Thanks for the help!!
Just a footpedal.
TransTech supplies the footpedal.
Did you use the footpedal setup wizard?
 
If they ask about sending back the footpedal
you could wait 3 weeks, then tell them make a promise it is in the mail, then wait 3 days and email them and tell them you couldn't find their address but thought it was in Timbuktu as you spoke to someone there recently, then .....
Anyone worked for FastChart and no longer need your 9-pin footpedal.
What will you sell it for?
My footpedal worked. I have an Infinity pedal.
The tech dept. is really nice, perhaps you should call them as listed on the testing site. They may be able to help. Good luck!
Hate using keyboard for testing ? co. test can use MQ footpedal? nm)

Is the Emdat footpedal specific to the software or will a regular

I wasn't there long enough, put in a 2-week notice but ended up leaving early, footpedal and last

Equipment
You can rent a C-phone or Lanier unit from them, but you have to provide your own computer. You have to pay your own LD charges. No benefits as we are statutory employees. I've been with MDI for 18 months and have been very happy there.
Equipment?
Just hired.  They require a $40 dollar lease payment a month for special pedal needed.
You must use their equipment, for which there is $200

No, I have all my own equipment. sm
My checks were short and late from the very first check.
Equipment
I know that KS just stopped providing equipment. I asked my lead why and she told me flat out that it was taking a FT person to keep track of it, the shipping costs were getting out of hand and they were no longer going to stock endless supplies of it all.

When they made the decision, the owner contacted us all and offered it all dirt cheap: Pedals were $50, c-phones $100 and Lanier machines $200.

I have worked for many, far too many IMO, MTSOs and have always had to have my own equipment. It is part of being an MT.

I have been with KS for 2 years. During that time, they have been fair to me, have paid me on time and correctly and have always provided me with enough work to pay my bills, send 2 kids to college (2 more years and I am done!!!!!) and no have to depend on an ex-husband who does not always remember that child support is not optional.

If someone did not have to pay for their equipment, perhaps they worked something out with the office; I am sure if someone could not afford to purchase, even with being able to break it into 4 payments, the owner would have made special arrangements and probably just gave it to them. They're like that there. They look out for their own.


This is your job. You need to have the necessary equipment
A fax machine is standard equipment in the year 2007.  If you work from home, you need to have the basics.  Either that or pay the $1.50 a page and DEFINITELY do NOT complain to the company about it. 
Equipment is now on the way...
I'll get it 30 something days after hire. So things are moving...just veeeery slowly.
Equipment - SM
All accounts are on different platforms and require different equipment. Some of them will require that you have your own C-phone or Lanier system with unlimited long distance. My 2 accounts are internet-based, so all I need are my transnet/Dictaphone pedal and my other acount just uses a USB wav pedal. They supplied me with the Dictaphone pedal when I started a year ago, but I already had my own USB pedal, which I use for my backup account. Each account is different, so you will want to ask them what equipment you will need. You will need your won computer, however.
Equipment
Precyse Solutions provides equipment.
MQ equipment....sm
Your friend shouldn't have to pay for the shipping. If MQ wants their equipment back, they need to send pre-paid UPS boxes.

I left MQ about 8 years ago. I held onto their equipment for at least 6 months. I contacted them several times. I was moving and didn't have the space for it anymore. Since they neglected to send boxes, I finally tossed the hard-drive into the back of a Rumpke garbage truck. I made sure I witnessed it being crushed to cover my a$$. The system was DOS and they had just transitioned onto their web-based platform, which is probably why they had no use for it.
Equipment
They only provide the foot pedal...no PC. They also sent me Stedman's electronic medical dictionary and spell checker software as well as quick look drug reference software.
equipment
TTS also requires you to buy Word 2003 out of pocket.
What equipment do I need?
I can't go into more debt buying pedals and systems that won't work with them. So far I have a wav pedal. Anything else?

I've heard such mixed reviews from them, I don't know what to think. I just know I need a job.
equipment
I never heard of the FOB, either.

You do need a specific foot pedal to work on Bayscribe. There are tons of foot pedals and not all are configured to work with every platform.

I agree that the Baycribe platform was simple to set up, and there were rarely any technical issues with it - only when it was down for maintenance by the owner (not Landmark).

Landmark did have some accounts that used ExText and that would require a different foot pedal.
MDI-MD (not FL) could provide what you need. :nm

Yes they do provide PCs
You must meet production goals which you have to do anyway. The pay is good with a lot of different types of incentives. My accounts are good with moderate to low ESLs and I'm not running out of work. I didn't need the computer but an MT I referred does use a TranTech PC. Overall great company, smart move on my part.
They provide everything.
They send you everything to include the tower, monitor and foot pedal.  You have access to technical support 24/7, as well as management and editors.
By law she has to provide you with a

They provide everything
you need except your type expander.  You can request the dictionaries, and if they have any licenses, then the IT man will download it for you.  Otherwise you may have to provide your own.  I never had trouble with payment.  Good luck!
Companies =can use my own equipment?
Any suggestions on companies where you can use your own PC.
Spheris equipment

Looking for current info about their computers/equip.  Do they rent theirs, or can you use yours?  Deposit? Rental fee?  I see different things in the archives regarding this.  TIA


Spheris equipment
You pay a deposit at start (a couple of pay periods). If there are any problems, you call the Help Desk (available 24/7). If there are any major problems, they send you a new one.
