Maybe you could just put your past supervisor's names with the companies phone number?

I know exactly what you mean. It's hard when you work at home and don't really work closely with anybody or with anybody other than your immediate supervisor and QA people who actually get to see your work.

Have you ever worked outside the home? Maybe you could put previous coworkers or supervisors. If you don't have a number, just put the company's number on there.

Good luck and God bless!

So simple. Go to the supervisor and tell them the names of the two people who have two different
answers and ask supervisor if she could let you know which of the two answers/orders were correct.  That keeps you out of the middle he-said she-said and the supervisor can once and for all correct this so no one else has to go through second guessing what should be done.
can't you get her number off his cell phone?
I don't blame you for being mad but I wouldn't call the friend's wife and tell her b/c its not good to get involved in marital disputes and it is technically not your business. BUT your husband is another story! First off, why won't he give you her phone number?? And secondly, if it were me, I would most definately call her & tell her NOT to involve your husband in their affair!
I don't think she has anything to hide. She put her phone number on the

Spheris phone number
The number they gave me yesterday when I quit is 800 368 1717 ext 2866 or you can email retrieval@spheris.com.  Good Luck!
We need to know the names of these companies.
There are too many that pay late or do not pay on time and some are very popular services
May have to change phone companies, have switched to job using a C-phone. sm
Currently have Embarq (formerly Sprint), and my usage will be going up about 12,000 minutes a month.  What phone companies offer really unlimited for a flat rate?  TIA.
Here's the phone number for the Frederick, OK PD see mess.

Does anyone know how to program a new phone number in a Lanier? sm
It is a Lanier LX-231.  There are a couple of buttons I would like to reprogram but couldn't find anything by Googling.  Thanks!
He also listed his cell phone number. (no msg)

Most medical records contain YOUR phone number,
frequently SS# & other financial information. Plus HMO information as well. For those reasons alone, I don't want MY medical reports typed offshore.

Not to mention all the mistakes!
Please do not post names or phone numbers. (NM)

I won't either, although I did in the past before I knew the companies offshored.

You can't post the names of companies. The powers that
be always delete them. I know I had to answer some questions concerning a Pell grant I got at a local technical school once. I don't think this is so far fetched.
Mind sharing the names of the 2 companies?

As soon as everyone posts their Names, Addresses, & Phone Numbers
...publicly,...then I'll list my business info.

:)

my local phone book used to have several - now Indian names
all sold out.  Makes me wonder about going back to IC again on my own - hitting the pavement - finding I'm sure enough dissatisfied customers - but oh the headaches of being by myself.
Correct phone number - 580-335-7503 Detective Rodriguez nm
I was so mad I posted the wrong number!
A lot of MT companies do. I'm not giving any names. Check archives.

It's basically a phone w/o the handle. Has number pads. A headset plugs into it sm
so you can listen to the dictation via a phone line. So, if you use one you will need 2 seperate phone lines unless you want your phone to be tied up all day.

Docs love it because they can just pick up the phone and talk their dictation right into the phone.

You would access those files by dialing a 1-800 number and then putting in your codes, etc., and then the voice file will be there; kind of like dialing into a voice message box to retrieve your messages except you are retrieving dictation instead. Very simple to use. GREAT quality. Excellent quality.

I am 99% sure I am taking a job I was just offered yesterday that requires the use of one. Right now I am on Doc-Q-U-Suck and can't wait to change.
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.
but all phone companies offer....sm

Privacy Director - I have had privacy director for years thru my phone company (bellsouth) and I get NO telemarketer phone calls EVER.  *S*


 


 


Is it legal or phone companies to monitor...sm

your phone line usage?  I know of 5 different MTs now, two in California and one in Indiana, two in Illinois, that have had phone companies call them and say that they are illegally using the phone line for computer modem or what not and that they have to stop or will be charged biz rate of 3 cents or 5 cents a line, depending on the state.  Some of the girls use a phone line to get the dictation but a modem to do the work and they are still being told this.  


At 3 or 5 cents per minute, for me that would be over 400 bucks a month and that is quite a HUGE chunk to pay for working with what we do make. 


How can they do this legally?  You are not doing anything wrong AND if they are monitoring the lines, they would hear the voices of the dictation so they would not think this is just modem usage for hours.


Anyone know if this is legal to do?  Since AT&T went with SBC is is worse bz now the ones that switche to SBC are getting hit by this too.

There are some companies that offer dialup and C-phone connections. Try those! I'm in the count

I've been screwed over by the big phone companies too, but once you switch to a business line,
a lot more options are opened up to you. Talk America has an unlimited long distance business line for $49.95. I've been with them for over a year now. I also tried calling cards, which are an even bigger rip off.
I assume you are assigned number much like a license number that can be verified through the AAMT.

Beyond that, I have no idea.

But why sign it to put the past behind? The past should have

It seems that they dredged up the past by wanting the release signed to keep them out of trouble for unfair employment practices.  Usually when a person ends the working relationship, they give formal written notice, the company accepts the notice, and the employment is over.  Smells pretty fishy to send a termination agreement and, oh by the way, sign this release.  LOL

You can't tell what sex the person is, and it just sounds so pretentious and stupid.

Really soap-operaish and annoying.
I didn't find an 800 number, but I did find this number...

C-phone used to call in to dictating systems to receive work. A special phone. nm

I had a lot of trouble with static in my C-phone. I replaced the phone cord and that made a big

difference.  Also, have you tried a different headset?  Also someone told me one time that there is a microphone under your volume control on the right corner of the C-phone.  It's a tiny hole.  If you break off a Q-tip and stick that into the hole that will squelch a lot of background noise and that worked as well.  As far as getting your C-phone service, I heard that Dictaphone is "sunsetting" C-phones at the end of this year.  Meaning, they aren't going to service them anymore as they are considered an obsolete technology.  So, I would contact Dictaphone and see what your options are.


I know very little about Lanier equipment.  I've not used it as extensively as Dictaphone.  Is there a local appliance repair place in your area?  You might ask one of those places to take a look at your equipment and see what they think.  Kinda scary, cause they could do more harm than good, but maybe worth a shot.


Not much help, I know.  But I thought I would share what tiny bit of obscure knowledge I do have. 


I've changed them between an old phone and new phone, but the same company, i.e. Nextel.

I am wondering if there is a way to use your C-phone with Vonage phone service?

C-phone and ATT. There is no problem with the C-phone, but ATT wouldn't let me use unlimited.

I have cable phone access and my C-phone works - sm
I am not sure about you problem, because it sounds just like I have mine hooked up.  The only thing I can think of is that mine has 2 line hookups in the back of the phone.  If you have this too, I would just try the other one, which you probably have already done.  Sorry that was not much help.  I wish you luck
I have a very loud hum when using my C-phone, but no hum when I'm using the regular phone. SM

Anyone else experience this problem with their C-phone?  Is there a problem with my C-phone?  At first I thought it was my telelphone line and called the phone company.  They sent a technician out to replace the lines and check the house, but the hum is still there on the C-phone.


It's driving me batty!


C-phone info regarding phone lines etc.
I am completely clueless on the subject of a C-phone.  Can someone help me understand exactly how this works?  Do you have to specifically have a separate "dial up internet" service to use the C-phone? I currently have cable internet and am wondering if there is anything else I need to get.  I guess I should contact my phone company.  At any rate, any help anyone could give would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!
If you use a C-phone for work and have a digital phone

through cable, have you tried to take an incoming call?


We only have one phone line.  I rarely get/make calls and when I do we have cell phones.  I just started working with a C-phone and got digital phone.  I can go a month and my phone not ring, so far have gotten 3 calls today, but I'm afraid that if I try to answer the phone that I will lose my report. 


I guess I could pull up a report and have my husband call on his C-phone and test it that way and then if I lose it no biggie. 


 


 


Anyone use/try C-phone with Medicom's phone service?
Wondering if it works?
Except my supervisor is NOT an MT
And anyway, our experiences are just different.

I think if I was being routed crap, yeah, I'd be pissed. I'm just saying routing, or reserved as someone pointed out, isn't ALWAYS a bad thing.

It's not cherry picking if the folks who do the routing aren't transcribing. And at my place they're not. Trust me, I ask them questions and they have no idea what I'm talking about. They're admin people, not MTs.
MQ supervisor
Mine is a wonderful lady, helpful, funny, hard-working. I think Atlanta has the best staff in the country.
Not unless they are actually your QA supervisor.

Tell your supervisor!
Do you work for a company that is located in Massachusetts?  I won't say the name....most pathetic QA on the planet. 
Supervisor of who?
If it is just her, who is she supervising?  Maybe they want to pay her to supervise at this point since they gave her the title?  How do you not give the girl a chance?  Anyone with experience would need trained even on the difficult doctors.  Give her some samples.  Just because it was not the "supervisor's" decision on who they hire doesn't mean this girl wouldn't work out.  I think the supervisor is afraid this girl might just show her up while she's gone!!  JMO. 
I had a supervisor like this. (sm)
Her mistakes & shortcomings were glaring and inexcusible. But although these were, and continue to be, pointed out to HER supervisor (who hired her) and even higher-ups, they stand behind her as if she were a saint. (Which she is NOT.) Nope, I really don't think it's worth pointing out her flaws, it'll just put you under a microscope and in the company's gunsights at a future time. That's the kind of people upper middle management seems to want these days. Pretty sad.
What do you think of a supervisor
who watches her transcriptionists' typing time including in between reports for the whole shift plus, even when there is a split shift, and then questions if there is more than a few minutes in between reports for that whole time. Just wanting some input. This truly exists in at least 2 jobs I know of and I have a certain opinion about that. And this would not be a manager who is watching newbies to help them if they were needing help, this is someone monitoring the whole staff. Thanks in advance for your feedback. 
AND CC THEIR SUPERVISOR...SM

They will think twice about nitpicking then.
