No computer and when I was there I even had to buy my own Word program. Transcend really doesn't give much of anything but a headache.
No computer, but does supply foot pedal and word expander - mt

As for the headache mentioned above, I think it all depends on who your ROM is. Mine was definitely a headache, and definitely not worth the stress, which is why I do not work there anymore. I even asked for a transfer to another account, going to the Employee Relations Person about it. As soon as work got back to my ROM, I heard nothing about it again. Glad to be done with Transcend. It's too bad, because for the first two years it was great. Amazing what bad can happen when a good ROM quits and they fill her position with a power hungry bully.
MT, that's pretty much what happened to me, except - my "good" ROM turned bad when the

account threatened to go offshore unless costs were cut drastically. I didn't document properly, so what happened after that could get me sued for libel. I ended up transferring to another group, which also turned out to be problematic at that time, and I had to give up and move to a more dependable company. In any case, things were very good until they were very much not, and then being a good remote employee didn't help me at all.
I have been an MT for 12+ years and have always worked for companies who supply the needed software, spellcheck, etc. I am in need of a job in the worst way but every company that I read about requires the MT to buy equipment such as C-phone, spellcheck, etc. I have no money right now to purchase this. ...
Woke up to my computer dead (2.5 years old).....shut it down last night, no problems. Did not notice if the blinking light(of the power button) was on or not last night when I went to bed. In any case it was off this morning which is not the norm. DOA. Tried the obvious, unplugged, replugged in different outlet, etc. Nada. Have another old Dell here (has hard drive issues not power supply) thought maybe I could switch out the power supplies, don ...
Hi, I was wondering if anyone could assist me in a little project I'm working on. I'm compiling a list for someone of the companies that provide you with a computer for doing transcription on.
Not asking anybody to do the work for me, but if you would like to share the name of a company who does this, I'd appreciate the info.
Thanks and have a great day.

Received an email I am to get a faster/more updated computer from MQ. Are we getting ready to turn over to a new program. Have not seen anything posted and was just wondering. ...
Hi all, I purchased a new computer over Christmas with a very large screen due to having poor eyesight. Everything seems fine until I get into ChartScript, where everything is so very, very small. It is worse than with my smaller screen. I have to literally stand up and put my nose to the screen to make sure I have correct patient info in the demographics, etc. Any suggestions? Is there something on the screen itself I can adjust, or do you think it is within ChartS ...
Just wondering if anybody who uses their own computer to do MT uses a laptop? I've had some problems with my computer and now need to take it in for repairs again, and I was considering getting a laptop as a backup so that I would still be able to work while my desk top computer is out of service. Any advice on what type of laptop to get? Thanks much. ...
(Moderator - please do not move to tech forum as this is a Medquist problem with Kapersky anti-virus program)
I spent several hours this past week trying to install Kapersky, and it would not install, so I called tech support and ended up escalating the problem to "Systems Administrator." She called back and remotely went into my MQ computer and installed the program.
While I was on the phone with her, I told her that others were having a problem with Kapersky slowing down ...
How do you go about this? Do you have to call tech and get permission? Or just download
DQS, etc? I was hoping to use my own computer, which is a much more powerful computer than this outdate POS I have from MQ; I think it's the reason I have so many probs in DQS--the worst being the lag in typing....I have to constantly wait for what I have typed to "catch up" with me.......so annoying. Not to mention takes forever to upload a job, etc.
But wondering if we are tec ...
I know all the techies out there will say I must "get with the times", but I absolutely hate computers! It isn't enough that you have to learn a new platform for each and every company you work for, but they think you should know all the regular "computer stuff" as well. I don't use my computer for anything except work, email, and to look things up because I don't want to-- but everybody expects you to be a computer expert today, like it or not. If they didn' ...
Does anyone know if it is possible to get 2 Mmodal computers? I live with my youngest son and my oldest would like me to stay with him half the week- just wondering if I could have an Mmodal computer at 2 different locations. ...
Everyone acts like it's all something new not to be provided a computer. As a former recruiter, let me tell you that 98% of equipment sent out was not returned and this very expensive for any company. It's not Nuance's fault XP will no longer be protected. There is no reason to go in debt for a new computer when you can easily buy one for less than 200, and remember it's all tax deductible and they have the loan plan if you meet the qualifications.

Hi there - i work for a hospital but we were sent home to type 1 year ago. Now my Norton's antivirus is up I was just told by the director of our department that I have to pay for the subscription myself ($45!) and then be reimbursed by the hospital....is this the way it is done? Seems to me it is a little iffy - just wanted some opinions....thanks! ...
I have a friend who lead MT at a radiology group and she tells me that they are using software that reads parts of an x-ray. It can detect where the calcifications are. I wonder if the radiologists are thinking they may out of a job just like us someday. ...
I just started a new job. All the software got put on my computer remotely, and it took a long time.
My computer is slow, and I want to get a new one in about 3 months. Do companies hate it if you change computers? It seem like they would be put out by spending another 2-3 hours putting the software on my computer. I know every company is different though.

This question is for those who have received new computers from the Q. Does your new computer have Windows 7? Are you able to work on DQS with Windows 7? I would assume DQS was preloaded before delivery. Or do you have to wait for DQS7/Mmodal to come out to use the new computer? Just wondering because I would like to use my Windows 7 computer asap. ...
