Has anyone heard anything on if MedQuist has won the bid for Spheris? I have been reading the news on the internet and it looks like there are two other bidders, but I have been praying for the past few weeks that MedQuist will win so we keep our jobs here in the U.S. ...
I am looking to purchase new head phones. The cheap ones I note break so easily and I cannot hear very well. I like the head phones that go over the whole ear. Can someone tell me what they find is the best head set to use? If you could give me the name of them and even where you got them and some information about them, I would appreciate it!!
Thanks for your time. Liz ...
I am about half way through my transcription training, I've just begun the actual transcription portion of my schooling. My school did not provide a foot pedal nor did they say that I needed to purchase a foot pedal but trying to do a transcription with a mouse is a pain in the you know what! Is this something that I will get used to or should I purchase a foot pedal? Any suggestions on what I should purchase? ...

Ok.. I have a job offer but have to purchase MS Word 2007. Do I need the home/student version or the office version? What does everyone else use? And yes, I'm a dummy. ...
Can someone please advise me as to which foot pedal to purchase for transcription - one that is most universal with transcription/dictation programs?
thx ...
Hi!
I need to purchase this software to start a new MT job immediately. It cannot be the trial or the student version. I am wondering if anyone else has had to purchase this recently? I am hoping to find a discounted one somewhere, and I'm hoping someone might have a ligit link??
Thanks!! ...
I just need MS Word 2013....but everywhere I look all I see available are "download only" or "no media" or key card only, no disk. I'm worried about getting a copy with no disk. Has anyone ever found a place to purchase Word with a disk for a reasonable price? Or have you had luck with just the downloaded version? Downloaded versions are usually in the $60 to $80 range. Thanks for any advice! ...
Need to buy MS Word for my new job. However, when I purchased the 2007 version online it was an "academic version" only. Can't use that. I guess I have to buy a newer version, like 2010 or 2013, but it seems like the only way to do that is via download and then you pay a subscription of ??? per month or year? This is fine by me IF the company will allow that. I just want it to be legal and a licensed full version...obviously the one I purchased online was NOT.& ...
I got a call today from HR at Sten-Tel (Springfield) saying that they were getting ready to make me an offer. (Would consider taking it on only in addition to what I'm already doing due to hearing issues about lack of work.)
I was, however, told that having Internet Explorer 8.0 was a problem and that I would need to uninstall this version and downgrade to IE 7.0. I've never heard of this before and was wondering why the newer, more current version of IE would be a problem ...
do OP notes. I hate 'em and for 2 days that's about all I've gotten. So, I would love to find a company that does not require OP note transcription. TIA. ...
us to download software that allows them full-time access to our personal computers, allows them to upload our info, track our history, etc.? If it has nothing to do with our daily MT work, then is it even legal to require us to install their spyware permanently on our own personal property?? I've never heard of a company doing this. ...
I have 9 years' experience and can do about 150-180 lines an hour, but I hate having the feeling of I need to get to the particular quota and rushing myself along. I want to do a quality report and would rather work for a company who represents that. Anyone know of any companies out there like this? TIA. ...
I'm curious, as this year my line requirement went way up and I was told what is required is "competitive" with what other companies require. I don't believe it is, and I work constantly to meet it. I wonder if this forum will let this message stay up--seems like anything that smacks of transcriptionists working together for anything like rights gets taken down, but... ...
Big company or small, full or part-time, good or mediocre pay, are there ANY companies who do not require a schedule for an IC? I have searched and searched...to no avail. Thanks for any tips if you know of a company who fits this description! ...
"A recent report by the McKinsey Global Institute found that while low-skill jobs are on the decline, by 2020 employers around the globe will need an estimated 45 million more mid-level workers who have a high school education and vocational training.
Meanwhile, a highly citedstudy by the Harvard Graduate School of Education last year concluded that in the U.S. “we place far too much emphasis on a single pathway to success: attending and graduating from a four-year college ...
to buy books with or without answers? Mine requires books w/o answers, which I find odd since there isn't an answer key posted or anything to find out if you've got the right answer. Pretty weird in my opinion. ...
Hi, I was wondering if any of you could tell me about Alpha Transcription. Do they require set hours? Do they pay decent? How is their communication? Do they have PTO?
Thanks! ...
I have a friend that worked at MD-IT prior to the Command Health buyout. She is still with the MD-IT division (or whatever they call it now), is employee status but is able to work whenever she wants as long as she meets line requirement and doesn't go over 40 hours a week. Is this the way it is across the board for Command Health? I thought I needed an IC job for flexibility, but if I could have that flexibility as an employee that would be great.
Thanks for the info. ...
New to Nuance, swallowed up when they acquired my employer at the end of 2013. I see they really expect you to spend a lot of time doing things outside your schedule, training, reading manuals, etc. Other than a flat rate for installing and learning software (20 minutes, actually took twice that), they don't offer to pay for all this extra time. Seems excessive. Has anyone tracked this extra time and filed a complaint with DOL about it? Or tried to clock into W ...
I know I learn something every day in this business, but I've never heard of this. She's very, very clear, but I'd like to know for sure before I QA. Thanks!
For context, this is the complete statement:
She was found to have a hemoglobin as low as 7.8 and was sent to the emergency room. This did not require an s/l oral transfusion.
