    Toll-free call-in system

    I have 3 doctors that I am going to be taking on as clients of my own.  One is going to be using a recorder, the other 2 are still wanting to use a call-in line for their dictation.  They will not be dictating a large amount just a couple times a week.  Does anyone have any suggestions for a service that provides a toll-free call-in line for a decent price?  I am thinking about mydocsonline for my doc that will be using a recorder.


    Thanks in advance and Merry X-Mas to you all! 


    Toll Free Call In for only 8 cents per minute!

    You're misunderstanding how toll free call in
    services work.  You can't just get some long distance service at 3 cents a minute. Where are the doctors supposed to leave their dictation?  We have software that answers, prompts for the dictator ID and password, then keypad functions the doctor uses to leave their dictation.  Then, those dictated files are provided to the transcription service via FTP.  So, our service, at 9 cents per minute is the cheapest on the market offering these features and we do not require a large amount of minutes per month like other toll free call in services do.
    We're not a transcription service. We offer toll free call in dictation
    service at rock bottom prices. I was only offering you an alternative without having to put out a lot of money by buying handheld units.
    Can someone from the Ohio MQ office give me a contact person and a phone number to call or an email
    address. I am interesting in asking a few questions to someone there in hopes of possibly transferring but I need some info first before I go from one problem to the same one elsewhere.

    this might indicate there is something wrong with the keyboard itself in which case you might need to return for store for exchange.
    Add your number to the "Do Not Call" List

    Not sure what the link is to get to it but its a national list that is now the law- telemarketers can not call you if your on the Do Not Call list. I'm sure you'll be able to find it if you Google it.


    We also have our number listed as "private". I think there is a charge but its very small, under $2 a month (because its considered a "feature")


    I call the nonemergency police number and let
    My name isn't involved. They just state that there are complaints of noise coming from that apartment.

    I've never had a showdown with anyone over this.


    Call the police...the non-emergency number
    most communities have noise ordinance laws. If the cops show up enough times they will stop. Trust me, I've done it. I had a neighbor that used to blast music at the wee hours. I tried the *nice neighbor* tactic of asking him not to do that becuase I have a child and we need to sleep, etc. Well, that didn't work. He worked 2nd shift and believed it was his *right* to blast his music whenever he wanted. After I called the cops a few times on him...he stopped, and I haven't heard so much as a peep out of him since!
    yep..get their CMT number and call AAMT to verify.
    v
    I got the call; it originated out of the NJ MQ office; I verified the number. sm.
    The individual asked whether or not I had received the letter announcing that a package would be coming my way. State the facts, girls.
    Here it is. when you call, you'll get an id number..that makes re-ordering faster. sm

    Also, the custom sheet has to be specific..when we sent easter eggs..12 large eggs with jelly beans, 24 medium plastic eggs with jelly beans..etc. there are rules about what can be sent..for specific countrys..I'll look for that now.
    They give you the option to try it for FREE
    .
    First I'd give them a call...
    talk to someone and just ask if they perhaps made an honest "oopsie" kind of mistake first and go from there.
    But they give you $2000 in free software!

    Before you give up call your state...sm
    insurance regulatory office and explain the situation to them. They can tell you if the company you're dealing with is doing things legitimately or not, and if they're trying to low-ball you they'll make them behave.
    I would be willing to give a free class online on using Shorthand
    and a few other shortcuts if someone can find a chat-type room where this could be done.  I cannot access the MTChat on MTdesk, reason unknown other than I have never been able to obtain a password for that site.  This would be directed toward beginning to intermediate users and would be more of a question/answer session than total lecture situation.

    Then they need to go about it the correct and LEGAL way. I pay taxes to give them free sm
    benefits when they are illegal and don't even pay taxes, but yet I am told I will have no social security even though I have paid it in for over 20 years. They want to come over here to live, they should start by learning our language and then getting themselves LEGAL and paying taxes like all of the LEGAL people here do. I am struggling and I can get no benefits, but they don't even have to be legal to get them. Big sign at the DHS office that says, we can help you even if you are not legal.
    Give a call to their tech support.
    Maybe if you delete them from one computer, they'll give you an unlock code for another upload.
    My original post was about the Stones and I did not name call!!!! Give it up! nm

    I assume you are assigned number much like a license number that can be verified through the AAMT.

    Beyond that, I have no idea.


    death toll
    That is 53 confirmed deaths so far....Lord knows what the count will be when the water subsides, so it may be close to comparison with the Tsunami, I pray not.
    it does take a toll on earnings...
    I agree about the rates for VR. It can take a while to fix a botched report and in some cases I have to fix them by typing in the corrections, but still only getting paid half the rate. I used the Edit Script platform, which is awesome, but the company I work for is heavily supported by ESL docs, so it is a challenge. I do, however, use the IT Expander and get free lines from templates.

    My solution was to also work for a second company that uses the same platform, but is mostly American docs and has a higher percentage of typing rather than editing, about 60/40 (40 typing). My first company is around 80/20 (only 20% typing). I agree with another poster who said that you have to find the combination that will work for you and increase your pay. She is right because for me, the second company is a smaller company and I will make more money with them. I like the other company also because they will give me experience with ESLs, but I will earn less money. I do the smaller company full time so I can eventually get the benefits and the larger company with the ESLs part time. Now I am receiving 2 paychecks, but working extremely long hours. I feel it will balance out with time. I have flexible schedules with both and can usually take off anytime I choose,which I feel are the perks of being an MT. It is hard to have this situation with a traditional job, so I take the good with the bad. I am new to this field and want to stay optimistic about my future with MTing.

    I have used this for years and have compared to Sylvan, Word, and MP Count, etc. When you have it set to count every character, bold, shift, tab, etc. It is great and always higher than the others. Now if you are wanting gross lines like in Word then no it won't be as high because Word counts blanks lines and Abacus counts a line only if there is a character on it. There is also two places to check for it to count the Headers/Footers. If you have the FREE version then it must be the trial or a very old version so you don't have all the features and functions.

    i have been through some rough times lately and had to apply for some help. there are signs, big signs, all over our offices saying "YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE LEGAL TO GET HELP". so we and our government do give them our benefits whether they are legal here or not. now that is messed up. i am helping to support them so they can take away my jobs and i can't even support my kids and yes i get benefits, wow $75 a month in food stamps which lasts not even a week in a household of 6. don't get me wrong, i am thankful for any help at the moment, but i get penalized for trying to work my tail off and still can't survive.

    there was recently an article in our local newspaper where one of our local school districts tried to charge $1000 a year for each illegal student enrolled. it was bulked and the illegals got a lawyer to sue for discrimination. the school district merely stated that they had to HIRE extra teachers that could speak the foreign language just to teach these children and were trying to offset some of the expenses. ridicilous!! so again our taxpayers money is paying to educate illegals as well.
    got the "phone call" -- get this, MQ has hired a bunch of telemarketers to call all of us to

    we received our "incentive packet."  They don't even have the wherewithall to contact us personally.   These are temp-agency hired telemarketers sitting around a boiler room making sure we're reading our mail.... told him it don't pertain to me because I've been demoted from FT to SE.... He said, "yes, the letter is vague, but it does pertain to FT as well as SE...." yeah right, we'll see.

    Aw come one give her a break. She said she was sorry and is willing to refund. Give her a chance to

    do what is right.  If she fails to do what is right, then go about this in an adult way and not act like such a child.  "you suck"  That is so immature.


    She is responding to you and you are eating her alive.  Why would she put herself out there to be treated like this if she didnt mean it. 


    I am really astonished at how people can act on here.  Would you treat people like this in person?  If you do, I cant imagine you having very many friends. 


    Remember we are all "HUMAN."

    Looking for MQ number...sm

    I went through training and am supposed to start soon. I got a phone call from someone named Elaine who said something about the CHW Mercy/Memorial account and gave me a 3658 extension. I called the MQ number I have and they said there is no one there by that name or extension.


    Does anyone have a phone number for this person or know how I can reach her?


    Thanks!


    100 number

    If you choose to block your call by either *67 or *69 (forget which one it is) and the nunmber your dialing does not accept blocked numbers and asks you to put your number in, you can put ANY number you choose in and the call will go through.


    Did'nt know that one until one of my kids (figures) told me about it.  So it could be the new wave tool of solicitors/bill collectors or just other teens pulling pranks.


    Number 1 through 9
    I was always told to spell out anything below 10 (even at Medquist).  Prior to taking my second test, a recruiter actually told me that this is a recent change and to make sure to take note of it during the test???  It is so hard to keep things straight sometimes with all the changes and conflicts.  Aiyeee!!!
    They want your ss number
    in case you decide to skip on your bill; then they can send you to a collection agency.  Are they just supposed to believe because you appear with a medical card that you are covered?  NOT!
