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. ...
Does anyone know which companies provide the equipment? I need a job desperately. I bought a new computer (HP Pro with Windows 7) but my USB infinity foot pedal will not play the transcription files. I have tried everything, even downloading different programs that were supposed to make it work and still nothing. I installed a foot pedal tester, which shows the foot pedal working, but it won't link up to the files when I test. I need to find a company that will provide the equipment qui ...
What are some companies that provide the equipment needed to work from home (computer, foot pedal, etc.). I have worked outside the home doing transcription for nine years and now would like to work from home, mainly due to the fact that I cannot find an outside job, but I do not have any equipment and cannot afford it right now. ...
I know this has been asked before in other posts, but was unable to locate them. Any info you have would be great, as well as a comment on the companies suggested. Really looking hard at Webmedx right now. Thanks! ...
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 ...
I have been doing outpatient surgery reports for a small hospital for four years. They are outsourcing with a company that does voice recognition. The ophthalmologist has talked to the OR manager and wants to use me for some other transcription (the hospital pays for what he does there). I need to know the cheapest and best route to go since I only have computers, printers, and an Infinity foot pedal, as well as two transcribers that use microcassette tapes. In order to p ...
why do they keep gouging us for this crap even though it should be painfully obvious to anyone with half a brain that your average MT has hardly any money for it?
Amphion had told me that my workstation was not up to snuff, and after they specified what I needed, they told me *where to buy it*. I ended up sinking almost 300 bucks into it. Then, after working there for a couple weeks, they micromanaged me intensely, and after a performance review where I missed the mark by probably about a fra ...
Hi everyone. I am having trouble with MQ regarding equipment and I'm hoping someone could maybe help me out here.
I used to work for MQ and had returned my equipment after leaving. I was re-hired a few months later, but used my own equipment, therefore, never took anything back or received anything from them again. The returned equipment was returned over a year ago and I no longer have the receipt from UPS, as I never heard anything and had no reason to think there was a problem.
Any ...

Hello. I am looking for advice on equipment. I need, well, almost everything, I need a playback program, I don't like express scribe. I am willing to spend money, I don't have a lot, but I want something good. It doesn't have to be the best, but user friendly would be nice. I also need a footpedal. I have heard they are all the same, but I would like further input to the statement. And, I must have a good pair of head phones.

Recently resigned from MQ and received the mailing labels to ship back their computer and monitor. However, per the letter, they don't require that you return the mouse, keyboard, and any other peripherals. It doesn't say you will be charged for them -- it just says they want the computer and monitor.
Has anyone left MQ and kept the keyboard and mouse?

My headphones died on me right in the middle of a report - (ESL, lousy sound quality - great timing). Suddenly I was hearing out of my right ear only. In desperation I plugged in my iPod earbuds. I need new headphones ASAP. Any suggestions as to where I can find a decent pair, not too expensive? I had been using the headset that I received when I took my Career Step course a couple of years ago. Thanks! ...
Hello,
Can someone please tell me the best digital transcription machine to buy. I really do not know anything about digital transcribers. I am used to the cassette transcriber. Also, I heard there was a way to have a 1-800 number and the doctor can call that number and do the dictation over voicemail. Does that require any other software or equipment. I am not familiar with any of this. I guess I just really need to know the different ways I can do transcription. Thanks ...
equipment was delivered today. It's all unboxed and hooked up. there were no instructions about the CD that came with it or whether it was okay to turn it on and make sure it would boot up before training day. Is it okay to do this, or do I need to wait until Monday's training? ...
I will be starting MQ soon too, and I was asked by MQ if I wanted to use my own equipment or theirs. At the time, I told them theirs, but on thinking about it, I don't know how to connect a router and KVM box, if that's what's required. Should I just use my own computer? Any suggestions? ...
Hey there all! Some community colleges offers a certificate program for Medical Stenoscriptionists, "Preparing medical records and reports using a stenograph machine" per 1 class catalog. Not finding a lot of info on it, just schools that office courses/certificates. Apparently the production of reports is similar to court reporting. Could this be the future for EHR, or is it the same as MT'g? Any opinions welcome. ...
I forget - is it 2 years or 3? If it's 2 I'm going to wait till I get it and start looking around. I don't like working on six or seven accounts. Really. ...
