You pay for equipment that may or may not work. You purchase it
through a third party so AMA is no help with getting your money back, although they told you what company to buy it from. You don't get paid until your work is good enough, but your work is never good enough, so you work and work. Now I can't figure if they actually have real work and so you're working for free and they are making big bucks, or they don't really have any work and are making their money on ripping you off on the software. I figure where has got to be some connection to the software company.
They have many, many complaints still unresolved with the BBB. They have moved to a different state and changed their name at least once that I know of. They also represent themselves as very religious.
You might be required to have a certain version of
Word or to have a certain expander, but as far as the software needed to work the company should provide that and if they don't you should not be working for them. Sometimes companies will provide computer/equipment and they will charge a refundable deposit, but for just software you should not have to pay. SoftScript used to make you buy Start/Stop, not sure if they still do. TranScam is a scam, as others stated and if you sent them money, think of it is contributing to their new boat or vacation home, because it is long gone.

There is a free version of Express Delegate

I don't use it, but there is lots of information on their website. Perhaps you can contact the company for any answers not found on there.
full of questions....
Hello! I am 21 years old looking to do the training to get certified as a MT. Of course I have LOTS of questions. First of all, how hard was it for you to find an "at home" job? And also, is anyone willing to tell me how much it pays? I've seen all kinds of figures and have tried to figure out just how those figures are, well, figured. I just have a hard time believing you can make that much just for typing reports. Any help at all on this would be GREAT! Thank you!
4 hrs may be what they think is full-time
A lot of MTSOs staff based on the least amount they know an MT can do. They may be considering the amount they give you to be a full day's work.
If you are finding every MTSO to provide less than what you can do, it might be better to work for two MTSOs. Rather than changing jobs entirely, get a second job. That way, you'd have TWO assignments of what is, for you, a half-day's work.
room full of jerks
somehow you seem to fit in really well here!
I was also an RT full-time and just recently
quit FT to go PRN. I'm doing transcription FT again as I got burned out at RT work. I can tell you, once you get your line count up, the pay is about the same (although it does take a bit of time to get your line count up), or at least in my part of the country. Just to give you an average, RT I was making $18 an hour day shift other parts of the country they make much more - up to $35, but this is a very rural area with low cost of living) With MT, I'll be making around $16-19 depending on the difficulty of work. So it's comparable.
are you working part-time or full a wk?
.
I like to know if work is available 24/7 or if it's assigned each day? If full time, sm...
are you restricted to 40 hours on your time sheet? (some places have labor laws against more than 40 hours) Are you working in a compatible time zone? (There used to be no work available for me at 6a when working certain Calif. and Az. accounts because I started too early on EST.) Are you required to keep a log sheet of patients that gets submitted? Do you get paid for this log sheet? (some places will say NO as it's not "work" being turned in.) Is your invoice automatically created by their software or do you need line counting/invoice software of your own? Is faxing of anything required??? (some places will still fax you patient lists for that day...ugh!!) Can you use your own Expander and is what you're using compatible with their software? Is there docking of pay for errors? How many blanks are permissable w/o turning a file back in to QA? Do they want phone calls, emails, or IM messages if you suddenly need to take off for the day? Do you have to clock in and out whenver you leave your machine? Is there tech support available for software issues? ...I think that covers it now. Good luck to you!
Maybe not full price, I agree. But some companies are

Posting your full name and your city/state
isn't a very good idea.
Try to get a job in a hospital. Don't try to work at home for a few years of doing this full-tim
