Live system over the Internet - sh


Posted: Mar 24, 2010

What is meant by "live system over the Internet" in some job ads.  TIA!

It means you have to log in (sm) - MyT_WannyMT

And remain logged in while working on the documents. This differs from FTP where you log in, download the work (sometimes for the entire day or what you think you can handle), log off, type everything up, log back in and upload the finished product.

Live system over the Internet - Ex-MT

[ In Reply To ..]
Actually, that is the only way that I have worked as a remote transcriber. I've only worked in the office and using an intranet - it's like you are in the office; however, there is a lot that can happen, while you are trying to work, which is bull. There is your ISP, their ISP, their more than likely "crappy" network - I mean the MTs get the bottom of the barrel, and then there is the fact that the office staff are clueless as to what is actually going on with the remote side; they think that a "test site" can be set up on their end and that is how it works out there in the real world -- NOT :-) LOL

Working on an intranet with web applications is great, and I think that anything BUT an MT job would be just wonderful; however, an MT job's pay and quota is based on their performance and the performance is affected greatly on how this crazy thing operates. I can give you all kinds of negative examples . . .but just for instance, my sister was sitting at home on her laptop watching TV trying to run a couple of reports (not MT) from home on the company's intranet. She was kicked off more than four times and it moves very slow . . .she said it was the company's network -- it is slow. That whole thing doesn't matter and is just an annoyance and nothing to get upset about because she gets paid the same no matter how many times she gets kicked off, how slow their network runs, or how long it takes her to run those reports. She said that it is even slower and worse in the office.

Transcription Gear's Atom Live System?
Jun 25, 2011

Have any of you transcribed or managed transcriptionists/dictation on Transcription Gear's Atom Live System?  If you are a transcriptionist how fast was it to get your transcription and send it back, how clear was the audio? How stable was the player? If you are a transcription manager and managed the work flow did it give you enough flexibility to be able to route work the way you wanted to your transcriptionists?  I am thinking of using it and just want to see what you all thoug ...

If you live in Texas (or maybe Louisiana) and own your own RV, consider being a gate guard at a natural gas field. The pay is about $15 an hour and that's 24 hours a day. And while you're sitting in that RV, guess what you can be doing. ...


Live Notes, Anybody?
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? ...

Go Live A Dead Issue?

It seems the schedule reservation "go live" in my area has now been cancelled until further notice.  I'm in the north region and wonder if any other areas have been using it successfully.  With all these so called improvements coming our way, I'm having a hard time remember what's what.  Does this mean the swapboard isn't going to work anymore or just the schedule/DQS factor with the work allowance of 15 minutes prior/after scheduled shift?  I'm ...

Curious...can You Be A Transcriptionist And Not Live In The US? Sm
Jan 20, 2012

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 ...

To MTSOs: Pay Your Workers A Wage They Can Live On,
May 12, 2011

"production", and watch quality improve. 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 ...


How Do I Uninstall Windows Live Mail...

MModal made me install Windows Live, but I need to uninstall it.  Long story, but it was a disaster.  When I go into my Add/Remove programs, all I see are: Windows Live Essential, Windows Live ID sign-in Assitant and Windows Live Upload Tool. Do I just remove all those and hope it's okay? There is no Windows Live Mail in my add/remove program list. I need to uninstall it because everytime I try to open a file that was sent to my Outlook personal e-mail address, it opens it i ...
