Does anyone know if iMedX installs tracking software under the guise of an antivirus program on employees personal computers when hired? ...

do they hold your final check until they receive the equipment? My payday is supposed to be Friday and they were supposed to send me the tags to send back the equipment, but I have not received them yet, and I am thinking I will maybe not be paid on Friday if they have not received the equipment. TIA ...

Nuance not paying me enough to afford my own computer. ...

I am in the process of transitioning jobs and will be going from a company-provided computer to my own. Any suggestions on what software programs are needed, virus protection, word expanders, line counting, and hardware like foot pedal? The hospital I am looking into will be using Microsoft Word. Any comments on whether this is a good program or not to transcribe on? Any tips? I have been with the same company for 15 years, so have been out of the loop and need ...

Are there any employers that furnish the necssary hardware anymore? ...

Does Medquist still provide a computer to transcriptionists. If so, is there a rental fee or deposit fee? Also, is this only for full-time or also for part-time? Thanks! ...

Those of us working from .07 to .08 cents per line with a service are making .03 cents per line less than we made 25 years ago. How many of you have reduced the services you used to do for clients to compensate for this gross reduction in wages? Is that an option? Should we stop doing ANYTHING but pounding the keyboard, afterall, that is all was get paid for. The rest of our services are unpaid: research, verifying patient data, keeping spreadsheets for the client, phone calls, installing so ...

The Web/Nuance part has been told next year we have to buy our own Shorthand license. I know Transcend downloaded for me (and am still using at my PT job) shorthand licensed to MDI way back when. Will we get to keep that? If part of Nuance (Trans/Nuance) gets to have it provided free I would think they could figure a way to let the rest of us have it also. ...

I've got several options out there. I was with MQ/TL for 12 years. Transcription experience 25 years. I'm getting a little freaked out about learning a new platform. I don't even know Microsoft Word! I did manage to muddle through it to type a new resume though. Not too hard. How much should an IC charge per line to cover taxes, expenses? Any IC advice would be helpful. Thanks. ...

It says it is a trail version though. Did everyone pay for their own word expander or did MModal provide it? I'm wondering why they put Shorthand on desktop and then we have to pay for it. ...

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. ...

Has everyone who needs a new computer gotten it yet? ...

How many MT's work with more than one computer? ...

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 ...

Are these laptops? ...

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. Fiesa is ...

Does anyone know what companies provide computers? Thanks so much. ...

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. ...

Also, they seem to have lots of different platforms. Which platform is your favorite? ...

My personal computer is kaput. Looking for a job that provides computer. Preferrably part time. I think MQ and Webmedx do, any others? ...

Does Precyse allow MTs to work on their own computers? Thanks! ...

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. ...
