I wonder if I have a slow internet connection and if that would be what is causing my slowness.

DTS internet connection
Do you know if they allow a dial up or satellite internet connection?  Do they have employee status or IC?
Does Proscript pay for internet connection? TIA

I don't know about silly, but it is causing OSi grief.
mission accomplished!!
They are causing me to leave the company they all went to

I think it's bad weather causing the problem
I heard the site I TX for is having bad weather, and that can effect work flow.
slowness
if so many people are having an issue with this could it be a server on their end or something? Worth looking into I would say.
Slowness is Enough
Slowness issues affect pay and make me lose concentration and get aggravated.  That's enough to quit right there.   Too many different things to remember on too many different accounts and even those things change on a daily basis.  Too many e-mails regarding changes on all the different specifics.  I guess that would be no problem for a Transcriptionist who doesn't care about the quality of work produced, but the quality is very important to me.  Someone's life could be at stake. 
Slowness
I have worked on this program elsewhere and quite often it is the IP provider. It takes a while for the voice to download, or gets stuck completely. Sometimes you have to reboot. Maybe your IP address changed during your shift if you use a Linksys this could slow it down. Again, reboot. Also, if all of that does not work, I usually call the ISP provider to see if there are outages, due to road work, weather, etc. 9 times out of 10 when I experience this it is because of limited connectivity. There are days like that but once in a blue moon. I always document slowness due to ISP or something when that happens to me just in case someone asks why the line drop. etc. Hope today is better! PS: Also internet traffic could be a factor that slows the whole net down. High volume days especially around the holidays when cash registers are going crazy and credit card authorizations. But, even in the middle of the night my connection has been slow, and the IP never ever really explains why.

TYPO -- wow I am upset. It is causing illness due to stress !!! Does TT care? NO n/m

and inability to meet my payments that I have normally had no problem paying.  It is so disgusting.


Don't send me a Happy Friday email.  Send me some of your paycheck, mgmt.  Nor do I want to hear you guys ROCK!  If you mgmt people had no paychecks, you wouldn't be saying that, would you?


Your paychecks come from MT's -- NO ONE ELSE !!!  And YOU want to pay us 1/3 or 1/4 of our line rate for your crummy VR dictation.  What a disgrace !!!


Enterprise Slowness
Any other Webbers out there spending half or more of their time waiting on screen changes, etc.  I'm about to throw this thing out the window.  My line counts are  suffering!!  AND it is only Enterprise.  Everything else is plenty fast!
Slowness issue still there for me

Some accounts must be affected differently than others, because its as slow or a little worse for me lately.  I guess as long as someone is willing to say the problem is fixed they'll never really fix it.


yeh guess theres a reason for that slowness
I tried that when I worked for them so I could get a line count for each report but Ichart was either unavailable or very very slow, a lag of 2, 3, 4 and even sometimes up to 12 hours, so you can't do it that way. They also told me they didn't have that information available when I confronted them and asked to see that report. I wanted a line count for each and every report. The IChart team told me they certainly do have that information. Glad to be gone!
Just a problem with slowness of the cc list, but (sm)
if I reboot and it keeps happening, I will go to Tech support, not here.
I do at webmedx now that the platform slowness issues are resolved. nm

Depends on the account. Work on VR lately has been slow. Just like all companies, we have slow times

Honestly though, I have only had 2-3 times in the past 2 years where it was like the other day...no work... It did pick up later but I just think it's important not to make someone think we're overloaded with work all the time. That would not be fair to them if they end up with high expectations.


No - it is not always slow! Depends on the company and hospital. I have never been slow this time
Slow time is usually in September when everyone is back to work/school from the summer months.

Been doing this 24 years and never slow this time of year. Actually, I am drowning in work - can't keep up.
I use both, internet and books, but mostly the internet..nm

don't like ASR/VSR -- all work going that direction -- causing very low work situation for awhile
Just a little message since you asked.  Hardly any regular paid transcription work left for TT MT's (transcribing as in the old days, I am speaking of).
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

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


 


3 computers 1 connection
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.
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!
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...
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

companies accepting satellite connection
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
