Of course, I know who owns rights to all my software.

You should also know and understand licensing rights. I also want to give my money to the right people.

Just would like to know who owns the software before
I offer suggestions to update same.
Looking for someone who owns
Am looking for some information on these products.  Thank you.
OKAY, who owns this now!!
this is like a soap opera! The world of Cyberspace!
who owns the computer?
If your hospital owns the equipment, they may now allow you to use any software other than theirs. I know ours doesn't. One can only use what the hospital has installed.
Another issue could be who owns SM
the dictionaries you develop to work with. You don't say who work for on what basis, but even if you purchased an expander, if you were being paid hourly as you developed them, an employer would have a good claim to ownership should they choose to exercise it. I mention this because we become extremely dependent on our personal expanders, and when we have to walk away from a job it's critically important to be able to take at least a copy of the dictionaries we spent many months developing with us. Patient privacy could even be an issue depending on what's stored on them.
He probably owns that "lowball" (or maybe
Anyone who feels pressure to underbid themselves like that has just GOT to have no balls.
Oh, but THEY all have rights, you know
We can't abuse the rights of all the child molesters and other criminals, but the rest of us are just out of luck. I have a VERY permanent solution for them--it involves a pair of very rusty and dull pinking shears-- use your imagination.
FTP rights
you might want to have your employer check your logon for the FTP site -- they may not have given you rights to delete files. Simple change on their end.
He's still on the air because he owns the network. Nuff said? nm

He owns it. I got an email from him with broken

resume removed.


The merchants would be within their rights
to pursue a criminal complaint against the bad check writers. Posting the bad checks is mild punishment by comparison. Your friend should feel relieved not to be going to jail. Bad checks are theft. I'm with the business people. Irresponsible bad-check writers raise prices and fees for honest, financially responsible people. If this were my friend, I'd be reconsidering the friendship.
renters have rights
Ask for a copy of the bill from the cleaning company they hired to clean it. If you had a pet, carpet cleaning comes out the nonrefundable pet deposit. Typically, if you have lived in a place for more than 2 years, the mgmt company has to replace the carpet and repaint the walls anway. Check it out in your state and local community. They have to have a bill for the 160 dollars. They can't just charge fictitious amounts and have their own people do it.
There's really nothing wrong with that at all. She had the same rights as everybody else. nm

employee rights

The hospital I work for has called the at home Transcriptionist and told them if they do not meet a 1000 line a day line, with a 10,0000 line pay period they would suspend us for three days, the next time is termination.  They also have out sourced alot of the work that has recently been dictated.  My question where do I find legal advice for my line of work.  I am a full time employee, I recieve insurance and retirement, they tell us when we have to work, adding onto our schedule, then tell us we have to work weekends and holidays to lower the count.  We do not receive overtime, holiday pay, vacation time, or sick time.  With us being a full time employee, we have also been by passed when across the board raises have been given to other full time employees.  I just want to know what the in home transcriptionist legal rights are and don't know where to find them.  Thank you in advance for any help you can give.


MDI-FL and MDI-MD are 2 separate entities. Transcend owns MDI-FL. nm

A TASP is basically a company that owns
your clients call in and dictate on their system, and you pay them usually based on the minutes of dictation.  That way you don't have to put out the money for a system of your own but you have access to a system.  Metroscript is one, Bytescribe has a TASP, and the owners of this site also have a TASP although I don't recall the name - but if they would like to post the name of it under my post that is fine with me.  There are others as well. 
A question regarding patients' rights
I was just wondering this. My mother was recently sent to a "liver specialist" who is local gastrointestinal doctor because of concern over persistently elevated liver function tests. He drew a LOT of blood work on her and only told her that it looks like she might have a fatty liver. He set her up to come back in six weeks to "get the results of her lab tests."  SIX WEEKS!  With her being  very concerned, of course, we immediately searched the net and found out that fatty liver occurs in patients 1). who drink alcohol (she never has), 2). Patients who are overweight (she is not) or 3). Patients with diabetes (she hasn't got that, either). It says that a liver biopsy is how they find this out. He never mentioned doing one of those. My question is.. would a physician want to wait 6 weeks to find out lab results? You know it doesn't take 6 weeks to get the results back, they probably had them back within a day or two. In the meantime, she is stressing big time about what could be wrong.
Help needed...are there any rights/repercussions for an IC...
who was fired after a year of employment as an IC?  No warning was given. IC had a problem with TAT one day, rather than MTSO firing that day, waited a week and then was just let go.  Is there any way to apply for unemployment....any rights at all for an IC?  Now I will have no income until next job starts.  I have a family to support and bills that are due.  Wow, I am just so surprised!! 
Animals have more rights than babies do!

well, I am NOT obsessing over animal rights! sm
What exactly are you doing to make the world a better place? Discussing the killing of dogs in another country sure does help, yeah, uh huh...get over yourself
DeVenture & Human Rights
You may want to check out the Bangor Daily News online State page for August 7 of this week. President, Michael Deville was found liable for employee discrimination. Sounds like a great place to work. In addition, that manager you are speaking of most likely has no backbone when it comes to standing up when it's require of her.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS-LINES, TIME, PTO

Face it - the nationals are going to outsource alot more.  We are no longer immune to the economy.  They are just waiting for some of you to leave - and you will.  Using your PTO now (at their convenience) just means they don't have to pay it to you later.  You can not FIRE someone for lack of performance if there is a lack of work.  The number one eligibility for worker's comp is lack of work and the nationals certainly can't deny that.  If your income has been cut by one-third for 60 days or more, there are better incomes out there (maybe not with nationals), but the American companies do provide good pay, steady work, and understand and respect your rights as a worker.  If it is unemployment you want, do not quit.  Find out now how it works in your state.  There is about a week's waiting period.  You only get about 50% of your income for anywhere from 13-26 weeks.


For those of you who have no choice except to stay - do some research.  If you are full time with good performance records, benefits, and PTO - your job is just as legitimate as if you worked in a factory or any institution in YOUR state.  Your job has to be defined - hours, work, etc.  If your company is not supplying the work, then that changes your job definition.  There are laws in every state to protect you as a worker.  Know them.  They can be different state to state.  Remember, standing up for your rights may get you layed off and unemployment only lasts about 6 months. 


You would do all MTs a favor if you shared some of your research here on different state laws and better companies to work for.


who actually owns MT Stars? how do i know it's not MQ to see your deepest thoughts and renegades
who are anti-MQ?  are the owners names anywhere on this site?  i know i can sleep better if it's not anyone affiliated with MQ.  if MQ personnel own this site i'm doomed.
i'd definitely complain, stand up for your rights to be paid. if you don't say anything, it w

Yeah, you're right. Who cares who licenses your software? Heck, I use all pirated software anyw

why pay for anything, right?


Except that is AGAINST THE LAW!!!


Hi NYNT - wegmans owns their own chicken farms and this a video from a farm...but

supposedly it is the industry standard on how these animals are treated...you cannot even imagine the cruelty in your imagination. 


Wegmans has officially denied it, I believe.  I shop there still, but I refuse to buy chicken products/eggs there, and I usually mention it at the checkout whenever they ask if I have found everything...


Obviously, just me not buying those products does not help, but I can live with myself that way...now that I have that knowledge.


Beef, turkey, pork - it is all going on all over the country, wherever you buy it, whoever supplies it to the stores.  More and more even the people working at the meat plants say the animals are not even dead when they are cutting them up...it is cheaper not to have to anesthetize them or kill them first. 


The animals are filled with chemicals, also, and hormones, etc.  Does that have to do with these really tall kids I see lately (smile) just a thought! 


My dad owns a dental lab - GOOD money, steady work, very tedious though
nm
I love to see people exercise their minds (and their rights)...will check it out...
Thank you, for sharing...

After all, if no one would have stood up years ago, we would still be called the 'typing pool' and making probably $7/hour, AND answering phones, filing, etc.

AAMT did have a huge role in that happening, but I have not seen them do anything for the American MT in a very long time.

According to the Advance Health mag (which is turning into a 'rag' in my opinion), their latest article is how MTs with disabilities are now being trained in INDIA...and elsewhere overseas, and just how wonderful and joyous that all is - !?#@$#@

Sisters, it is TIME we do something and take a stand.
A friend of mine got one and she is finding that some of her software, specifically her ISP software

HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION RULES IN FAVOR OF PAST EMPLOYEE OF DEVENTURE

NOT GOOD!!!


If u need server software, try guild ftp. If just user software
then try cuteftp, coffeecupftp, or wsftp. They don't charge a line rate and I believe guildftp server software is still free.
Another big factor is software. If the software isn't
transcription friendly, it can really hurt your bottom line.

Otherwise, $1.20 per report is a pretty decent rate for radiology.

Good luck - hope it works out for you.
VR company? Not when the MT company owns its own VR equipment. n/m.

Contract/no contract -- same rights
You do not have to have a written contract to take them to court.  All you have to do is to prove you have been providing  work to him, past statements/invoice will do that,  you just fill out the small claims forms and go to court.   But first of all I would personally go in and talk with someone about it.   Could be the office manager/bookkeeper and not the doctor that is not paying you.   He may not know anything about it.   And please do not  make the "joke" as above mentioned, that is very LOW class, tacky and not professional at all.  Especially if you are in a small area -- you need to conduct like a professional.  But call and make an "appointment" to talk with the doctor either in person or through a phone call.  Some doctors do not know what is going on in their office and perhaps the office manager wants to be paid first.  If the doctor does know, then in person or over the telephone inform him that you have no other choice but to pursue the debt just as they would if someone did not pay their bill and if that involves going to small claims court, then that is the route you must take.   Good luck.  I did take one to court without a contract and won.

NEW SOFTWARE

I have been out of the loop lately.  What is this new software?  I am currently looking for a medical transcription job and need a little catching up, obviously.  I would REALLY appreciate a reply on this issue. 


software
I work for a company that uses it and it's very simple to use.  I edit 90% and transcribe 10% and it's very simple to use.  Basically it's microsoft word with all the bells and whistles.
Software

I have used both Quick Books and Quicken and prefer Quick Books for invoicing, etc.  I have two checking accounts, personal and business of course, and pay my business bills through there -- even by subs and that downloads into Quick Books which can be downloaded into my Turbo Tax.   Also on my personal side that gives me my utilities payout total also and I can then just deduct my 20 to 25% of them for my taxes.   Works for me. 


 


software
A place called Webchart contacted me and had a lot of the features you are looking for but it was quite expensive and I knew my docs would not go for it.  I could not afford several hundred dollars a month for it.   But you might do a goggle and see what comes up but the company name was webchart. 
a/v software

aside from the fact that it's probably true..!!  hehe.


if anyone wants info a a terrific a/v proggie, please off-list (e-mail) me, and i will send the link.


Software Available
I am using a sotware that is designed by me. Let me know your email ID, I shall send you my software.

VR software
I work for a company who is a major developer of voice recognition software.  I do transcription for them also and some reports are done with the voice recognition software.  Yes, it is like basically editing.  That is unless you get a dictator with a heavy accent and the software even has a hard time understanding.  The dictators have to go through a training period and the software actually learns their voice and speech patterns.  The hard medical words it usually gets with no problem, but the smaller everyday words don't come through correct all the time.  Some doctors are great, others should not be using it at all.  It makes for quite an amusing report at times.  I know it is the way of the future but I personally would rather type the report myself than try and edit some mess.

go through the link http://www.core-software.com/TMinfo.htm for a good software
Is there any software out there....
that performs like a Dictaphone or C-phone where you can dial into a system with your computer and control the dictation with a foot pedal?  My Dictaphone is going haywire, and I was wondering about some kind of computer software to replace it, if there is such a thing.
To any software out there.... sm
go to http://www.nch.com.au/software/dictation.html

they have inexpensive call in solutions that work very well.

Good luck!
What the best software to use?
Me and a couple of my MT friends have decided to make a small little MT company. You know just the three girls, made a lil pamplet and all. We're hoping by banding together we can met new clients ect. I was wondering what Mt software -for when the clients upload the audio files-should we use? We're on a budget and can't afford the 2,500 SW that's we've seen online. ANy suggestions?
FTP software
I'm trying to learn new FTP software, FTP Navigator.  I can read the files but they are in word pad.  Is this right? I am trying to read their sample reports and would rather read them in Word.  Can anyone help? TIA
OEM Software
I worked for a computer company that sold new computers.  OEM software is perfectly legal software and can be registered. This software is only supposed to sold with computers and/or hard disk drives.  The software companies offer this software as OEM so manufactures, like Dell, can purchase the software at a reduced price and package it with their new computer systems.  Technically, it is not supposed to be sold by itself, but it is perfectly legal.
Do you know what the VR software is?

software
I use Express Scribe too. It is free to download and so easy to use!
It would have to be software like PC Anywhere (sm)
and I would think they would have to have your permission to put this on there. As far as their own software, it wouldn't be able to *spy* on you. If someone else knows something different, please correct me.
