Email encryption
Hello, does anyone know of a very simple, inexpensive email encryption program? Was previously using Hypersend, but they are changing and after 12/28 will be much more expensive (had used this free for the last year) to use. I only send 1 or 2 encrypted emails (containing patient notes) per week and really don't want to bother with FTP or any of that. Would like something similar to Hypersend, which was so simple & easy to use. Had previously purchased Centurion software for encryption, but found it complicated on the recipient's end to use. I see a lot of programs/software out there, but don't know which ones are legitimate or trusted. Would appreciate any advice at all. THANKS!

I just read another post about password protecting files in Word. Actually, I never knew that could be done. I just went in and gave it a try and it works great! This might be a very simple answer for all that I need this for.
Best free encryption software? sm
I'm going out of town tomorrow, kind of a mini family emergency, and for the first time will have to drag my laptop along to work.  The encryption software on my main computer cannot be transferred to the laptop.  Anyone have opinions on free encryption software that is fast to install, good quality, and easy to use.  I don't have enough time to learn new software or putz with it.  Thanks.
there are free encryption programs at ....
look around and check it all out.  Some cost money, but not heaps and might be worth having.
Here is customer service email

Shame on them for not letting you know would cost $10!!!!!

Is there a free online counseling service?

My daughter, who is 33, is married with 1 child - every time something goes wrong in her marriage or job, she calls me and I'm supposed to solve all her problems.  I have asked her repeatedly to go to a counselor, but usually when she calls, it is in the evening.  By the next day or Monday, the problem has gone away temporarily and then she doesn't get the help she needs again. 


Does anybody know if online counseling is available that is free, other than this message board ?   I guess I'm thinking of someone with an actual degree? 


You will be notified via email. Gift pull is not instant because I also run a transcription service

in addition to running MTStars and the donation program. 


Thank you for your patience!

Thanks.. we love Vegas..get our rooms free and now you can pay like $10 for 24-hour internet service
Gotta love it..  Have fun on your trips too..
Please feel free to send me an email regarding...
your post. My response is far too long to post here, and could possibly be deleted if I provide names.


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.
Feel free to email me about this. Lots of choices nm

i have word 2000 free standing as well with no problems. email support, they will help you shortly.
you shouldn't struggle with having problems. support is there to help us and they are good at their job. as with any new acct, there are always gonna be some kinks. i had some to work out as well with my end of the system. it doesn't sound like something you can fix; probably something with how the two tie in together. did you log out and back in and see if that helped?
Please leave an email or email me at my address....click the email button. Thanks...nm

FTP vs encryption
What is the advantage of using FTP rather than just a good encryption program?  If sent through email with encryption and the doctor's office saves in their computer, why would that not be sufficient?  TIA
Encryption
I have a small company and use encrypted email only to send patient lists, not reports, which we do through a server.  I would highly recommend Versign as the premier encryption service above and beyond what HIPAA requires.  Both sides, those accepting and sending emails, must have Versign for it to work.  Its safe and dependable.  I wont allow my transcriptionists to work without it.

I like Cryptainer.
encryption programs
Speaking of encryption, my doc wants to go through tapeless and go with a WAV pedal program. What are the ins and outs of these programs; what's good; what's not.  Are they easy to load, setup, etc.  And, what above the WAV pedal programs? Any information would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

Can anyone tell me of a good encryption program to use with WAV pedal program?
I can't find an encryption key?
I'm confused
Use an encryption program.
Google encryption software.
good encryption program
MEP-- see http://www.deturi.com/oldsite/mep.html.

Also WinZip (the purchased version) has encryption.


We have decided to add this to our current service not have a new service. It will be easier to sm

keep track of and will just be a different department. 


It looks like we will work out details over the next 6 months, talking with community college program directors as well as a few of the distance-learning course leaders to work on the recruiting end.


We will train current staff to mentor if they would like to do so and want to work in the office.


We are still working on production requirements, goals to set, pay, benefits and other fine details but we have 6 months to get it all in place with three months to pull it together after that with a tentative start date of 09/01/06.  We need to build the building as well, although that is already at the blueprint stage in a spot next to our current office. 


We did not want to cause flames and bashing by listing the company name as there are always so many negative people on this site, but we are national with over 200 transcriptionists, located outside of Chicago (40 miles west) and have the best team of transcriptionists around!


We will have an "official" announcement after the first of the new year. 


Thank you for all of your feedback and suggestions!


Looking for an encryption program so I can send reports.

Maybe because Home version does not have encryption feature.

Outlook Encryption satisfies HIPAA

(Disclaimer: this is posted by Vann Joe, the publisher of MPWord, MPLite, and MPTools.)


Yes, the encryption built into Outlook would comply with HIPAA.


I note a user has suggested MPLite ($54). If you want to continue working in MS Word, adding MPLite to your work environment will save you much time both in generating the documents and in invoicing. http://www.mpword.com/7mplite.htm


MPWord adds these functions to what you get in MPLite: medical spell check, abbreviation expansion, encryption, zip, unzip, email, fax, ftp.


All our software is available for download and trial. You see, we don't want anyone's money, till you try the software out, finds it meets your needs, and absolutely love the time it saves you.


The same crap about HIPAA & encryption sickens me. The problem is what

happens once the information reaches India and is processed by the India MT.  So what if the dictation is "encrypted" and sent through "private lines".  What happens to the information once it's UNencrypted? That is where the problem is because then that private health information can be compromised and our illustrious HIPAA law can do NOTHING, NADA, ZIP to protect the poor patient...why oh why...again, because HIPAA is a U.S. law and is not enforceable outside of the U.S.


The next thing that doesn't ring true is the so called "aging" American Medical Transcriptionist labor pool.  Let's get real Mr. Paulik.  The FACT is that YES there is a shortage....a shortage of experienced MTs willing to work for PEANUTS!  Pay us a decent wage and watch those experienced MTs come out of the woodwork!  Also, take a good hard look at every single MT website and see the enormous number of American MTs, EXPERIENCED MTs looking for work.   


I am so fed up with these corporations using this same lame excuses time and again to justify what comes down to the almighty buck.

KVMs $20-60. One internet connection. You'd have no email or a 2nd email acct for your 2nd puter.

I don't understand. I didn't get email from MT Stars, I got email from offshore people
is what I'm talking about. I'm not a liar and take offense to your insinuation.
Abacus is not free. It is $20 but worth it. You can download a trial version free which does not h
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.
Free? As in, free trial? Otherwise, I don't think you'll find a spellcheck software that's

Check out the free demo of MTStars FlashType. It's free for 7 days.
Then, if you like it, you can purchase it for $59.95.  See link below.
They can send an email that goes to all MTs in one shot. I think she just means a courtesy email
would be nice. MQ is not getting any easier. My account has been picked over thoroughly when it went on DQS by ASR and I get all the remains because they only have a core group doing ASR which I think is wrong because you get all the bad dictators and it would be nice to be acknowledged that at least you know the person you can discuss problems with as they crop up. This is a big one and we have no manager anymore and no one to discuss this with at all in my office so you just sit here very day doing this work and no way to vent to someone that could offer some suggestions on this and other issues that come up to help relieve some of the stress of working this way.
Just send an email to the email link inside the post.

Again, because you entered your email address, you CAN receive email from anyone, but THEY

e-mail address because it is not revealed when they send mail because we have spam protection in place.  The only way they would know what your email address is, is if you reply to the email they send you.  If you don't want to receive any email from anyone, simply do not enter your email address in the Email field.

I intended to email it- already email the mods to remove

Not through the MTStars email server. Your email address is NOT
visible to anyone.  The only way your employer would know it is you is 1) if you respond when someone emails you, or 2) they recognize the way you write. 
My telephone service is VOIP, but it s through my cable service, along with my cable internet. .
We have had VOIP for about a year now and I love it. I really can't tell a difference in traditional service, except the price. One of the best calls of my life was to Bellsouth to cancel our service!
I am not asking for a service, I AM the service looking for recorders

Exactly! Because you got familiar with VR....
It is difficult to switch from stRaight to editing, Back an forth, back and forth, this is so TRUE!

Not familiar with a dropdown box . . .
Are you referring to F9 to get line count?
If you are familiar with this forum at all
then you should have enough insight to realize that posting such vague information without any shred of credibility will get you a less-than-desired response.

Either way, even if it IS true - what kind of friend shares such an important secret? What kind of employee leaks information?

Hmm...sounds familiar sm
Is this company out of Texas, perhaps. 
Sounds familiar.
Feast or famine.
sounds familiar
I'm drowning in paper. I have piles everywhere, including my bedroom floor and dresser. I used to be very organized and couldn't stand clutter, I don't know what happened. I live with three other "messies", husband and two of three children. I think I just gave up. I usually can find things, but it bugs me a lot. Can't seem to get myself to clean it up. This has a psychological basis I'm sure. I'm not lazy, otherwise I keep a really neat, clean house. Stressed out maybe the reason, just don't know where to start first when I do have some time to myself. It's always something.
sounds so familiar!!
I guess most office atmospheres are like that...it sounds so similar to what I had worked with until I went home...and boy am I glad I did!!! I am a social person, but absolutely do not miss the office crud!!! Now I have been doing home repairs and "fixing" up my new "office" as well as getting out a couple of nights a week. Also spending more time focusing on my needs, i.e. pampering myself more!
