Getting Started

Medical Transcription System

With our easy-to-use, web-based system, you can log into your account using any type of Internet connection (cable, DSL, T1, etc). There is no software to install. Our online platform is simply the best system to send/retrieve transcripts. It is advanced and easy to use. Just ask our very satisfied clients!

Call-in
Our unique call-in system offers toll-free and local calling 24 hours a day. You will use your assigned pin number to access the system.

Call-in Transcription Guide
To begin session, local calls dial 850-434-7143 and for toll-free dial 1-877-438-0746. The system will welcome you and ask you for your user ID, which is your 3-digit password followed by the # sign.

Menu Key Options
1—Go to beginning (play from the start)
2—Start recording
3—Go to end (and pause)
4—To rewind (skip back for review playback)
5—To pause
6—Fast forward
8—Resume recording after pause
*—End recording and receive job number
#—Get job # at anytime
0—to get the job number during current dictation

To End Session, Hang Up.

NOTE: The system will automatically go into pause mode when it is awaiting menu selection entry. While in “Pause Mode,” the system will periodically remind you that you are in “Pause Mode.” After ending your recording, you will have up to 5 minutes to start your recording. If this time expires, then the system will save all your dictations to this point and then will disconnect in order to free up the telephone port for other incoming calls. The system will place you on pause mode if you press any other key other than listed above.

Once our system receives completion of the WAV file, it is processed by our servers and sent to the website for the transcriptionists to pick up. Once the transcriptionists transcribe the documents, they upload the completed dictation to your site using their own user names and passwords. Once they have uploaded the document, the document disappears from their transcription areas. A User Guide is sent to each client when the dictation is set up on the platform. This guide will assist clients in maneuvering through the process of retrieving dictation, batch downloading, viewing line counts and, if necessary, listening to the physician’s WAV files. Clients can make changes to their documents right on the site and print directly from the site or save to their local hard drives.

For clients using digital handheld recorders, we have support services available to help you to remotely set up the Olympus software and map your software directly so the audio files are saved in a Dictation Folder. Once that is accomplished, you will go to your website using your user name and password, click the Upload Tab and the process will guide you through step by step. It only takes a few minutes to gets hours of dictation to the website for transcription. The process of retrieving will be outlined in your User Guide.

Your documents are left on your website for approximately 60 days and are then archived to our back servers for three months.

We have Technical Support available for your questions and convenience.
