CALL IN DICTATION SYSTEMS - Mandy

Posted: May 18, 2012

What is the best and most affordable Call In Dictation system for a one doctor office? Or is a handheld digital device the way to go, as far as affordability? I'm worried about ease of use and software installation in his office.....working remote. Please help.

I use a Dictaphone StraightTalk but do not - otmt

Try Metroscript or Scribe Healthcare Technologies platforms when starting out - mwmt

NOTE: Below is pasted post I submitted on board last year. (Hope it's not too jumbled to understand.) Check their website for current pricing. No software to buy and no set up fees. All pay as you go.

I also use Scribe Healthcare Technologies (scribe.com) that is a superb platform, they have a free version to start with, then you can go from there. No software to buy and no set up fee for Scribe. Metroscript now has a one-time set up fee of $25.00. All pay as you go.

This would get you started the easiest way with phone in dictation as well as with docs using digital recorders.

Also, there are lots of old posts if you do a "search" for Metroscript or TASP, as well as something like "starting business," "own service," etc.

If you're just starting out in the world of digital recordings and such, Metroscript is a great place to start. Metroscript is an online TASP that is a flat fee of $14.95 per month (then if you go over that costs are added on). They charge $0.34 per mg to upload digital files. The doctor can plug in his recorder to his PC and upload the dictation to Metroscript. You then retrieve the files from there to transcribe. You can then upload back the transcribed files for the doctor's side to download/print all within Metroscript. They also offer phone dictation at $.12 per minute.

Upload completed transcription back into Metroscript so the doctor's office can download and print at their end. This is 100% HIPAA compliant and affords document tracking as well.

Check them out at www.metroscript.com. I have used this service for many clients for at least 6 years. Superb support and guidance. Email me if you want more info. (I am no way connected to either of the above companies, just offering an opinion/endorsement as a free-lance MT and very happy user.) Good Luck to you!

I have never used a call-in dictation system before, but one of the offices we transcribe for is requesting that I get a system. I have looked at several systems, Dial Dictate, DigItel, and others. I cannot understand the language and can't figure out how much it would actually cost and how it works, etc. I do not want to have to get extra phone land lines. I would like it to record into the computer. VoIP or something like that, I think. Can anyone point me anywhere where I might get an ex ...

I am tired and frustrated from applying and sending out resumes only to be ignored. It is like a game with them, I think. MedGarde even has an interview which has absolutely nothing to do with your skills or qualifications. In fact it seems like psychological testing to see if you are mentally competent or something like that. I swear I feel like a mouse that is being tested and run through a maze to see how well you perform, but even mice will get the prize or food event ...

Got a second job and STILL being screwed by Nuance in the sense that I cannot rely on my first job (income wise), because when there is enough work they manage to screw my cpl with their lovely FIESA, then as soon as I have no errors the work ...

When I asked why so low, I was informed there is a ton of docs, work and a lot of repetition in the templates, so they feel you are getting a lot of free lines! That being said, I'm still shocked that these companies continue to go lower and lower on the line rates! Considering I have been an MT over 20 years, this is crazy to me, but I did read a couple of old posts here that this i ...

You will also not be paid for any testing you perform. ...
