You might get a headset that has a gold tipped plug on it. It seems to deliver better sound quality. You could probably find it at Radio Shack or similar electronic stores.
Also, have you tried adjusting the sound on your computer? Make sure it is turned all the way up, and if you can get into the mixer (I forget how) you could probably change the different tones....base, treble, etc.
I bought an ASUS Xonar U3 USB sound card (sm) - roz
[ In Reply To ..]
Because I have a company PC with integrated sound card, the sound is lousy I bought the ASUS Xonar U3 USB sound card at www.jr.com for 39.99 and it does help. It has a 10-band equalizer that lets you adjust the sound settings. It also has 10-12 preset settings that you can just punch and listen to the sound until you get it like you want. This is what I usually do. The Xonar has an icon that resides on the task bar so it makes it easy to adjust when different dictators come on. Very easy to set up - just plug into a USB port and make a few settings in the software and you are ready to go. It is well worth the price. J&R is a very eputable company that I have ordered from many times. It has also taken some of the muffled sound out of the dictations. Bottom line - you can't turn bad dictation into good dictation but you can improve it vastly. Also, if the sound card is just intergrated sound card software then it ASUS can improve that.
Have sent several long letters to present and former MQ management and CCM suggesting that MTs (which I still call myself) have input in the software corrections and improvements regarding Speech. I know there are some MTs who went into IT, but where is there input. It may have been there initially, however over the past year it seems like we are having a lag in the software correction process in that it is not being updated in terms of correcting capability. I have many sugges ...
I was looking for software(possibly free!) that will allow you to not only speak in microphone and transfer to text, but can transfer to text from a voice file or recorder. HELP!!! Thank You! ...
The phrase is She will be evaluated by PT, OT and speech therapy, corrected to She will be evaluated by PT, OT and Speech Therapy. I thought it was only capitalized in when followed by a proper name like Montana Central Hospital Speech Therapy.
Thanks. ...
I get tired of reading that hospitals only want CCS credentials. That completely depends on the hospital. What should be said is INPATIENT coding is CCS and OUTPATIENT is CPC.
A local government hospital here only wants CPC. A huge, huge, well-known hospital in my area takes both CPC and CCS because they do so much of BOTH.
Someone coming here for information on becoming a coder should find out where they want to work and what type of coding credential tha ...
I have been tempted to switch to Clear Wireless after seeing how fast it works on my daughter's computer. Does anyone have any experience using it for IC work with trascription? ...
Dear MM TSM, TSA, PC, manager, work flow lead, whoever you are.... STOP SENDING ME SOMEONE ELSES ACCOUNT. My own is backed up, I WILL NOT DO SOMEONE ELSES ACCOUNT WHEN MY OWN IS BACKED UP. You are freaking irritating the hell out of me and I don't work Saturdays to do someone elses account ESPECIALLY if my account is back up. STOP SENDING ME ACCOUNTS THAT I DO NOT KNOW, THAT I WILL MAKE MISTAKES ON AND THAT WILL CAUSE MY LINE COUNT TO DROP TO NOTHING. UGH!!! I wish t ...
If you want information on Clear Choice Transcription out of Pittsburgh please search the archives for Davis Transcription. **** had been kicked out of her own company and started a new one, Clear Choice Transcription. Don't be fooled by this con artist and her side kick,****.

Does anyone know anything about these two companies (work atmosphere, size of company, pay on time, etc., any helpful information)? I noticed that Clear Choice has openings for editors, but I'm wondering if they're QA editor or VR editor positions. From the pay rate advertised, I'm thinking VR editors. Thanks in advance for any information anyone can provide. ...
To anyone even thinking of signing with Amphion - steer clear !! This company totally sucks. Most all accounts are now VR and the platforms being used, and there are several, SUCK. You better know all platforms though because if you think you can take time off when your primary account runs out of work, you are wrong, and they do run out of work constantly because of consistently overhiring. Then they stick you on another account whether you've worked on it before or ...

They are a significant part of the problem.
Along with upper levels they possess no ethics and apparently also lack cartilaginous tissue in the C-T-L spines to stand up and say they have ethics and will not go along with the unethical/illegal BS upper level suggests/dictates to them.
They have a choice and choose wrong. They could stand together in numbers and say NO.
You think upper level is going to find enough people to replace ...
I have recently seen several ads posted for Clear Choice Transcription. I see that now they are seeking new grads for these positions. I personally always like to know if there are red flags, etc. before I accept an offer. I felt the need to share my experience with the company. There is one manager who basically runs the show. Myself and a friend were both completely bullied by her for doing nothing short of trying to learn our job. If questions are asked, there are very abrasive an ...
Has anyone every had problems with this company? I have recently and am just wondering if this is how they do business? I have been an MT for 30+ years and have not encountered this before. ...
How is Clear Choice's pay when being paid by the audio minute and working in the EMR system? How much can be expected to be made daily on something like this working only 4 hours? ...
Seems like i have the worst time trying to get some headset that will give me the kind of audio I need in order to hear better. The last I bought were Bose and still not good enough. What and where to find some really good ones? Thanks. ...
If you want to be paid for any work you do I would not advise working for this company. I have not been paid for "phase I" of the transcribing we were supposed to do which was supposed to be paid last week, evidently there are others according to the main board. This company hired for an account that was supposed to be started but evidently has not, they are feeding the MTs 10 reports at a time so you get a total of 30 reports in each phase as they call it for a stipend of 200, however, they ...
Has anyone ever heard of Clear Choice Transcription out of Pennsylvania and if they send their work off shore or are owned by an off shore company? ...
I was reading through the archives, and someone said that they were affiated with Davis Transcription, which was a scam company.
Is this true, or is Clear Choice okay to work for? Do they pay on time?
Sorry to ask again, but I'd like to know before I make the wrong decision. ...
Is there anyone currently working for Clear Choice Transcription? If so, what is it like now - good or bad? Just wondering as I have read all of the old posts, but nothing newer is showing up and they have advertised with more work available. ...
I had the very pleasant experience of getting a crystal-clear American doctor speaking perfect English, but he was spelling many ordinary words and medications, which tells me he's probably been having some bad reports coming back. He didn't sound like a newbie resident, who do tend to spell a lot of things. It makes me wonder just how bad some of the reports are if this very clear-speaking doctor is having a problem. ...

I was hired over a month ago. It took three weeks to get all the info needed to start. I was to do online training over the phone, which I did. Unfortunately the person who trained us went so fast I was lost. I started, had a ton of questions, which I asked. I never got any answers other than one where I was told to follow instructions. Yes I knew to do that. So I get an email saying I am having a hard time (ya think it could be because the trainer did n ...
Is anyone familiar with Clear Choice? Any information would be appreciated. I understand they pay by the minute of dictation, a dollar a minute after release from QA. I'm wondering if their platform allows for a good line count and how the company treats the employees. ...
One thing wasn't clear - will Transcend employees years of service be grandfathered into the PTO plan or will we start as year 1 with Nuanc?. I did see where Transcend employees would be grandfathered into the QA plan with everyone starting at 99%. ...
