They say their MTs are in the US. That is fact. Arrendale is a software program. sm

If the company that owns Arrendale is in India, so what? It is a software program just as is Vianeta, which they also use for their work. JLG does not outsource their work.

    You are right when you say Arrendale is a software program. sm
    This person apparently is trying to stir up trouble, apparently has nothing better to do than to try and stir it up. It won't work on this one because Arrendale is a software program. Back when YOG was around, the owner of YOG had signed an agreement with the then Arrendale Associates (who originally started out in NC). They sold the software or whatever to this co, but IT IS ONLY SOFTWARE.
    I think maybe I am misunderstanding, but Arrendale is a software program
    something like ChartScript, I thought.   Maybe I am wrong, but I can't see Giselle outsourcing to India or anywhere else, but who knows, maybe.   I have been wrong before.
    What software program are you using?

    What software program are you using to run the foot pedal? I downloaded Express Scribe (free) and my Infinity foot pedal works great with that.


    I hope you find the problem. I know how frustrating things like this can be. Keep us posted.

    can you suggest a good software program

    to compare with the line counts being given by the hospital?  I am also in the same boat, but I can access my line count.  I would like an independent way of counting my lines, because you never know, right?  What a world. 


    Line count software/program

    I am in need of a new line count program.  Mine is on a floppy disk (yes, it's that old) and I no longer have access to a floppy drive.


    What is a good/reliable program to use?



    Which HIPAA E-mail Software Program for OE is easiest/best?

    I provide service for an office of three OB-GYNs and the OM/docs may be willing to consider going from hand-held microcassette to hand-held digital recorders (mean no more pickup-delivery of dictation/transcription for me!). I would like to utilize a very (hopefully) simple HIPAA compliant encrypted E-mail program for transferring of files in Outlook Express that will work on my own computer as well as the office's Linux network.

    I have found one that appears to offer all of the above features I am looking for and seems reasonably priced called CenturionMail, found at the link provided.  Is anyone familiar with this program and/or any others that they would highly recommend? I need something simple as we are all new to this adventure.

    My goal is to some day be on the road in our RV, setup with a laptop, and felt an E-mail program would be my best choice for utilizing a campground's Internet connection for uploading/downloading of files. Any thoughts on this?


    Thanks for any feedback you can offer me. I sincerely appreciate it.


    C-phone + Word versus software program
    What I'm trying to say is that it seems more time consuming to use a C-Phone and Word rather than a software program because everything is just a click away with a program, whereas with a C-phone and Word you have to dial in, do paperwork, send work through e-mail, create templates, etc, etc.  Seems much more efficient to use a program thereby saving time and making more $$$.  (You can probably tell I'm still fairly to this). TIA
    Ask the techs where you work. Probably software issue with their program. nm

    once you use Express scribe to program it should work with any USB compatible software too.

    Line counting software - Need a good program. Have used MPCount in the past, but now
    cannot download the old one, as it has been replaced by some new version, which I don't like. Can anyone recommende a good line counting program. Thanks.
    Phone Tools is a Bvrp software program that allows you to not only fax and receive data/documents v
    your pc (including coversheet and confirmation of date/time received), but can also act as an answering machine.  It's a very good product.  The receipient/s just need to make sure that their fax machine is turned on and has a paper supply loaded (thereby saving you the expense of purchasing reams for this purpose).  If you expect to receive faxes, you also need to be sure that the program is running and set the control to fax modem, rather than answering machine.
    A WAV pedal controls playback of voice files. You need a software program through which to play the

    The term "WAV pedal" has become a generic term. The software that you use will determine the file type(s) that you are able to play on your computer. You use either a pedal or hot keys (Fkeys) to control that playback. As stated below, Express Scribe is one such software program and it is free. It can be found by clicking on the link below.


    Arrendale platform
    Is anyone familiar with the Arrendale platform?  Easy to learn?  Easy to make line count?  How is it when compared to ExText?  It requires its own footpedal; is it a pain to switch back and forth between these programs multiple times per day?  Thanks in advance for your input. 
    Invoices. Does anyone have a good invoice software program they use other than MPCount invoice?
    I am looking for something professional and easy to use. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    But there was an article where JLG has a contract with Arrendale/CBay, Indian
    read on an old MTChat thread where a QA Editor said that JLG was offshoring 60% of their dictation.  Comments anyone, please? I do not want to get involved with yet another company that is outsourcing overseas.
    No, actually they don't. You guys run on emotion, not fact. And when fact is presented,

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

    why pay for anything, right?

    If u need server software, try guild ftp. If just user software

    It will count everything if you go in the settings and program it to. Good program!
    Sylcount is an awesome and accurate counting program also. That will count everything if you "tell it to".
    You can use Shorthand in ANY program, it works outside your program
    I have never found a platform it did not work with and I have worked on several different versions of Meditech. Just start using it.
    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.
    M-TEC has a Basic program (12 month) and a Premier program (18 month). To WAH, you should take the P
    :)
    Shorthand works with every program, it works outside the program you use, does not interfere.

    not just the fact of being PT, but sm
    she claims to work two jobs! Who has that much time. I don't believe it's physically possible to work that much, but that's just IMHO, of course!
    I don't do it all day either - in fact,
    I worked around parts of Louisiana in hospitals as a Transcriptionist in the past! Now I come to NOLA to vacation. I'll be there for a few days in September and then again in October and then again maybe in November.
    IT IS A FACT
    The DocQmanage program has a page where the managers can select or deselect anything they want to be counted, i.e. spaces, letters, numbers, headers, footers, (a whole page full of things). BUT: The main thing is this - they can put whatever number they want in there as a DIVISOR to divide the number of characters by; and the characters are almost always not counted correctly because they have selected to "not count" spaces, headers, footers, numbers, etc, etc. THEY ARE CROOKS.
    Its a fact - CM
    Hi CM - can you e-mail me? thanks.
    IT IS A FACT
    They did not tell us this, as far as the F9. I just checked it and you are absolutely right. They told us where we could find our line count. What a bunch of BS. Do you happen to know if every company has their own "computations" to reduce line counts? How sad this is :<
    Oh, I'm with you there. In fact, I

    if anyone ever feels like just giving up on EVERYBODY in their live and walking away and starting a new life with a clean slate?  All my kids have already left home or are close to leaving home age.  One is doing horribly in school and won't put any effort into it.  One was a bitch on wheels this morning and is in trouble for underage drinking.  One is doing better than the other 2 but just informed me it's going to take 2 more years to get through college (she's a junior now) and we can't afford another year.  And DH wet the bed last night and I am just beside myself.  The only time he has ever done that is when he was drinking.  He swears he hasn't been drinking (he's an alcoholic).  Yah right.  I feel like I am the only one who halfway has it together.


    And financially - let's not even go there.


    I feel like taking the cat and driving off into the sunset and never coming back.


    They are asking how you know this for a fact?
    It was a big stink on another board some time ago about how people claim to know things FOR A FACT.
    Yes, and let's not get into the fact that most sm
    daycares all over the country are "state regulated" not state-run, but receive millions of dollars a year from moms and dads who get their childcare paid for by the state (our tax dollars) so that they could work out of the home.

    When people gripe about us moms who stay at home with our children they should be glad that we are working AND taking care of our children and not depending on the state or grandma to do it!!!

    Was an explanation given as to where she was and if she'd be back? I don't watch that show, all those women grate on my nerves, but I am curious as to know if they even broached the subject of the missing Star! (She's so tacky...tried to get her whole wedding for free, puhleeze...)!!!
    no that's not a fact
    I've been using AT&T CallVantage for about a year without a single problem. In fact, when I signed up I told the rep what I did and he said it was not a problem.
    That was not me. In fact, I actually
    and that is why I posted to the person who did that, letting that poster know that the original poster did not post twice. However, your message and placement of same sure did indicate that you were *speaking* to me.
    do you know this for a fact?

    In fact, I may (sm)
    email you when I get around to this, if you don't mind!
    No, in fact

    although I could originally connect to the VPN client, after a short while I could not.  So I was disconnecting and reconnecting the router when I needed to do any work and now - for the red herring - I can't even use the wireless now.  It doesn't recognize my modem. 


    As a matter of fact just today - I had been too busy to fool with it - I tried to get in touch with a really good tech support networking guy I used to know who knows transcriptionists.  I am waiting for him to call me back.  Hopefully I can bring him in to solve this mess.  I will update you.  I will say that other poster was right about the Belkin being about a thousand times easier to hook up than the Linksys, you wouldn't think there would be that much of a difference but it was so much simpler. 


    The fact is ...
    no one even knows who we are, so it must be our own insecurities that allow us to be upset by those critical people.

    I guess on top of that though, it is simply frustrating and hurtful that others want to lash out about such nonsense. The truth is, those people are probably upset about something in their own lives. It would be better for all of us (especially them) if they would look within a little bit more.

    We'd all be better off if we spread a little more sunshine.
    this is not FACT
    actually this is opinion based about them being bad employers... they did a WHOLE story on it... wal mart is not as bad as some think from the gossipy rumors!
    Did anyone ever think about the fact sm
    that if a huge outcry is put up about medical records being transmitted electronically, that just might put an end to the capability of working from home?  Many of us work out of the comfort and convernience of our homes and, of course, since we also transmit those records electronically, how would that affect us?
    I was referring to the fact that (sm)
    it's free, unlike other sites, to post messages and such here.  That's what FREE I was referring to!
    I agree. In fact, when somebody says....
    that their marriage is heaven and their spouse is fabulous, I get suspicious.  I have a great marriage, but in 14 years there have been times when he (and I) have acted like a bonehead.  One HUGE fight I recall was the day he got off the phone with his brother and told me that he was going to the races.  There I was with 2 babies in my lap (less than a year apart) and it was Saturday.  I'd already gone through 5 days with him at work with those 2 babies in my lap, and I wasn't too keen on him tooting off to have fun while I sat there yet again with the kids.  I just wanted the courtesy of him asking if I minded if he went, but instead he just assumed he could take off without a care in the world.  He felt I was asking him to give him permission.  Anyway, it was a mess.  It didn't mean he was a bad husband deserving divorce papers (he's considerate about 99% of the time), but it was a "bad day."  It happens.  Nobody is perfect.
    And in view of the fact that........
    women often present with atypical symptoms of a myocardial infarction, and the fact that she would have sued their PANTS OFF if she had been dismissed as having heartburn when she in fact had an MI, what is the alternative here?
    The fact that you have stayed with them
    for so long amazes me. You must be a saint! Good luck to you. I hope you find what you are looking for.
    No. I would work just like I do now. In fact,
    they probably do random checks that we don't even know about.
