Don't know mgmt, but in Feb. you needed Word 2003 and Office 2003 to work. nm

I have been with them since 2003 and...
No complaints. For the most part good dictators. Few ESL's. Dependable payment. Good QA team, very helpful. Good company to work for.
Since 2003. nm

Worked there since 2003
No bad news here. Completely satisfied.
Employed since 2003
I like working with them. We have just recently merged with MD-IT so I don't know a whole lot about the new company but MTSource was great. Whether MD-IT will influence and make changes is something that I don't know. So far - so good. You can use Instant Text but only the latest version.
MS Word 2003
Does anyone know where I can purchase MS Word 2003?  My new computer runs Microsoft Suite 2006.  Word 2007 is the latest thing, and my new employer's system can't run 2007. 
They will not hire if you have 2003 or above
They are definitely old fashion and not up-to-date with the new technology. Definitely not the company for me. I did not take the job because I would not go backwards!!!
I had to get word 2003
for their program, and it was like $350! My computer only has 2000.
Word 2003
I know it kinda sucks about having to upgrade for just one job, but it was actually money well-spent for any future jobs you take. It always looks good on a resume to have updated versions of whatever program is available. Hopefully if things don't work out where you are, you'll be able to get a new job somewhere that appreciates hard work!! =)
back in 2003
they actually tried this & outsourced & the doctors had a fit & went to the CEO bout incorrect reports & the contract got cancelled & we were working back for the hospital within a matter of less than 3 months. I don't see knowing what a disaster it was then why in the world they wanna do it again!
Word 2003
Any idea why so many MTSOs are now requiring Word 2003? Reviews state it's not much of an improvement over 2002 and that it has some features that actually slow you down.
I worked for D&L for 3 years until 2003
what would you like to know?  Things apparently have changed there I was told though but I may be able to answer some questions about it.
Interview from 2003 w/the Shapins
Wow...drastic changes, yes?

The couple also worries about transcription services who turn to off-shore employees to complete the work.

How do you know they're compliant (with United States medical record privacy laws)? Juliann Shapin asked. I get e-mails from these people in India every day. 'Us, let transcription for you do, cheap.' It's not worth it. Sure, it's cheaper, but you get what you pay for.


since 2003, I do believe they pay higher than most nationals sm
and quite a bit higher per line for speech recognition. you could mention you don't want a cut. I think they are looking right now for Tues-Sat or Sunday through Thursday schedules.
You say word 2003 upgrade. Is this

I didn't have to upgrade because I had it already but if its the same company I think the QA person can use a class in learning how to deal with people without rudeness. 


2003 does not work with their platform
Only 2000 and 2002.
Yes, worked for them back around 2003 (sm)
Stayed about 3 years. When I started, they were still Edix, and they were fabulous! Good line rates, great QA team, and some of the nicest trainers I've ever worked with.

Then they gobbled up a few smaller companies, became Spheris, and took away our quality bonuses, moving to a strict production-based incentive program. It was still okay for me, because I really liked my accounts and had a great supervisor.

Then they chased off some of the best supervisors, and then I moved on.

I tell friends who ask now that it's a great place to build experience if you are just starting out, but that I would never advise anyone to stick with them long-term. There are better firms out there. Not bad, but not great, in other words.
Yes it does. MQ bought Lanier in October 2003.

AlphaMed is new, so pay isn't that high yet and you need Word 2003 there. nm

Ya know what, if you don't have Word and not experienced using it it is best you wait. 


The companies usually use parts of Word and mesh it with their own platform and some are a pain to learn., so if trying to learn 2 things, plus all the other stuff, the client, QA and employer preferences to set up report it is just sooo hard for you. 


Even instant perfect is not enough.  One has to learn each dictator style, and the employers have no monitoring how the dictators DICTATE one little bit, they just don't care, they expect perfection with junk and the dictators certainly do not care, because they can nobody is telling them to clean up their act.  Don't mean to discourage, but saying it like it is out there. PLUS, the rates are so low, you can make more at Jack-in-the-Box.  Not exaggerating either..


Said to have payment issues in the past. Needed Office 2003

A net search brings up a defunct website with a 2003 date on it. Maybe not out there anymore? nm

this is, in fact, doing away with medical transcription as we know it. rather than free text, there will be standardized text at point-of-service. even coders and billers will be replaced by the computers.

this is at the MOHCA site as well.
