Live notes, anybody? - Susan


Posted: Jun 08, 2013

I have a chance to get in with an MT company that also offers their ICs a chance at live note taking.  It doesn't pay too good, though, less than what the standard reports pay per audio minute.  I have never done this.  Can someone explain to me how it works?  I have heard that "live notes are typed in one pass."  What does this mean?

I'm not sure at all, but this could be what - a scribe does?

If someone can confirm this is what a scribe does, then google the words medical scribes. I looked at scribes once a long time ago but I don't want to work outside my house. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Maybe Live Conference Notes - see msg

[ In Reply To ..]
A company I worked for also did "minutes" so to speak for a bank when they were having technical computer problems. We were on a conference call on the phone with all the technicians that were brought into the room (sometimes 2, sometimes more) and they did troubleshooting and we typed what they said. However, it was not as hard as it sounds. We did not type word for word. Just an overall minute by minute input. We did it in notepad so there was a time stamp with each step to fixing the problem.

sounds by your description there is nothing recorded - once said, it is gone like in the courtroom. NM

Live notes - Susan

[ In Reply To ..]
I got some more info on it. It says these events would take place close to the typist's home and I would go there and listen to the presentation and take notes as I go. It says it is typed "in one pass" and turned in after the presentation. Sort of freaks me out, wondering if I can type fast enough.

Curious...can You Be A Transcriptionist And Not Live In The US? Sm

Does anyone know if I were to move out of the US, say to Costa Rica, would I still be able to transcribe for a company that is US based? I am assuming it depends on the company. But, I was thinking with the time zone being different, it  might be a plus. Honestly, I'm just curious because I'm reading a book about a couple who quit their jobs and moved to Costa Rica and now I can't stop thinking about it. So, I'm curious if there is anyone out there who is doing somethin ...

Or, if still determined to pay on production, then acknowledge overtime worked (you know we do it, you just don't want to acknowledge it, or pay for it), and increase cpl earned beyond 8 hours. Offer higher cpl for years worked for your company. Reward loyalty, and your workers will continue to be loyal. Blow them off, and they'll blow YOU off. Pay MTs more per line for typing horrible-quality voice files. Pay them more for ESL docto ...
