MT's who can't figure it out on their own. Why pay forever for files being sent over the Internet when you can get your own software to do it and just pay once?

They cost an awful lot (sm)
Much more cost-effective to get your dictators to use an FTP site.
Do you consider this redundant?

He gives as TX options:  chiropractic care,(names a few more), and chiropractic adjustment. 


I am considering just putting chiropractic care, as that would encompass adjustment, but then again, adjustment is more specific.  I think I will QA it with the question, but am curious as to others' opinions on this.


This is not a verbatim account. And, I know, this is probably a very green newbie question, but I am still gunshy about making corrections like this.


 


Thanks

What exactly is a TASP.  What does it do.  Thanks for you help.
Re: TASP
TASP - Transcription Application Service Provider.

They usually help you going digital, provide HIPAA compliant online Voice (digital recording, storing, FTP, real time internet enabled delivery of voice files from your clients to you) and Text (online platforms for your MTs to transcribe in just as I am typing this message. These platforms have built in Expanders, Spell Checkers, Invoicing etc etc. Your Clients can access the same platform to get real time reports being transcribed by your MTs.) Solutions.
Can you get samples? And if it's truly awful, QA won't

What an awful person I am trying to get them
away from a bad school. The bottom line is it is a BAD school. Just because people scurry around teaching themselves AFTER graduating from AHP and the likes doesn't mean they were successful because of AHP. They were successful in spite of.

I have talked to dozens of AHP students and graduates wanting me to help them and I have seen the material. To congratulate and praise them on choosing AHP is plain idiotic. If someone reads my negative comments and chooses a different school because of that, great!

Standards are raising in MT even if the pay is not. Companies want to hire people from an MT school and more often than not they want those people to come from a good one.
cost

Tennessee Career College in Nashville, TN. Exact cost for me $9,839.15. I did recieve financial aid to cover it up front so I haven't had to pay anything yet. But I graduated in March and my payments start six months from the date I finished. So if I don't have better income by September I'm Screwed.


cs cost of course

Newbie here will be starting school at C.S. (EVCC) the end of March, was just lookin through all the postings and seen that someone was asking about the cost of the medical Transcriptionist course through C.S which is through Everett Community College,And someone replied they thought the cost was between $1300 - $1500 for the course in the package that you get when you start lookin into this it`s not clear of the total cost of this course.In the package I received it states that the platinum - level enrollment is $1560 and the gold - level enrollment is $1320......To clear this up so no one is as shocked as I was the actual cost for the complete course is $4290 approxamently $1430 for each of the three quarters


Cost of transcription course?
What does $442 get yah? This can't be real is it?
...extra cost, and most probably not until you

Do you any temp services near you?...
Some of our local temp services were hiring for MTs. You may want to check with them. I don't know if they will require experience or not. Don't give up yet! Keep on searching. Something will open up for you.
try Transcend Services nm

Read the awful comments about SoftScript on the Main board! nm
.
Career Step cost
There are different options, but none exceed $2000 - online options are approximately $1300 and $1500. Dale - Feel free to email me and I can give you more details. :)
Gatlin Education Services
Has anyone taken the MT course from Gatlin Education Services? I don't see much about it on this board and was just curious about everyone's opinion.
Soap Transcription Services
Does anybody know anything about this company?  Does anybody work for them?
What to charge depends on what services

you need to provide.  Are you going to have to pick up tapes and deliver completed work back to them, do you do envelopes with the letters, do you print on sticky paper and if so do they provide it, if you have to return work, do you have to return it printed or can you just put on a disk and they print so you need to figure in cost of printing supplies.   If they are digital what equipment do they use and do you have equipment that is compatible so you can download work or will you have to buy some equipment/software, how much dictation will they have, etc.    If they only have 1 or 2 docs who might only dictate 2 or 3 times a week that is good for you because it gives you plenty of TAT but do they have enough dictation to make it worth your while (especially if you're having to pick-up tapes, provide paper, etc.)


6 cpl is way TOO LOW, I don't care what part of the country you live in.    If you are working for a service that is probably would you could expect to be paid, but that isn't near enough to charge if you have your own accounts. 


 


Do a cost/benefit analysis...
There are some C-phone accounts out there, but I don't really have any solid numbers on how many and their availability. You probably just need to look at it more on the level of the individual account. Is this account one that will give you the means to recoup the expense and make a profit.
Most services are looking more for proper spelling, grammar, and
sentence structure than they are layout.  I don't give a hoot what the layout looks like because I have my own way of doing things that I train the MT on how to do upon hire. 
Definitely more jobs available to those that want to work in-house somewhere. Any services local

It's rare to get the 2nd phone line reimbursed, so need to think about that cost, too. nm

Awful place for a newbie to start! Indian techs, uneven work load, very little help along the way.

Search the net by city and state. Many jobs/services out there that you'll never see here or on

I've seen awful work from "experienced MTs and good work from new graduates
I've seen awful work from "experienced MTs and good work from new graduates.

Training and education really does make a difference. Some people just have 15 or 20 years of very bad experience. They may be fortunate that one employer was willing to hire and keep them, but if that one closed, they would be in trouble. It all depends on the person. some new graduates are a better bet then some experienced MTs. I would prefer to find an experienced MT with great skills and a teachable attitude, but many experienced MTs know everything and are only willing to do things the way they've always done them.
