Digital or dtsok - quality hearing?


Posted: Oct 26, 2014

This company expects the impossible out of their workers while accepting horrible quality audio. First, you have a recruiter calling and praising your qualifications (not to mention taking a 5 part transcription test) and then when you decide to accept their job offer, they put you on an okay audio quality account, but then the 2nd week rolls around,( you are in a different account) and you find yourself replaying the audio and struggling to understand in the midst of static and other unacceptable ill-quality audio issues.  Be weary. I was fired due to lack of quality.  It does not take a rocket scientist to know that we have exceptional technology with digital audio quality and this type of issue is very unfair. We are living in 2014 and we are not living in the 1940 era when transcriptionist had very little in the area of great audio quality.

Mar 20, 2012

ADVICE NEEDED RE: GOING DIGITAL
Jun 21, 2011

Not sure if I have the correct board, but I am looking for advice on how to get my doctors to go digital.  I currently transcribe for a small group of doctors who use tapes.  I am trying to figure out an inexpensive way to get them to go digital.  It has to be a relatively user friendly method since they are very busy and will not want to take the time to learn all kinds of new stuff.  They also will not want to spend a lot to convert to digital.  I currently have ExpressScribe, so I know t ...

Greetings to all. I would love some insight and advice from all you younger MTs who have been working online from home.

Worked off and on since then, my last job as an IC with a family practice clinic client consisting of four providers. They were my client for 12 years.
