Occuaptional Outlook. Not so good yall

MT week is coming up! May 17-23! let's all share what we got last year. I'll start. ummmmmmmmmmm yeah, it was an e-card! it danced around and and had smileys and hearts and four-leaf clovers! yep, I felt lucky!!!!! come on, just for fun. ...

My thoughts: I completely understand where you are coming from when you complain about how bad ASR is -- it is horrid -- BUT, on the other hand, if it were really great, we would have no job. So, as far as I am concerned, I will keep on making the corrections and hope it never improves. ...

I'm currently an MT, wanting to change careers. In your opinion, what are the chances of coding going the way of MT with outsourcing to foreign countries and/or technology cutting back the number or coders needed? Any opinions would be appreciated. I'm thinking about starting classes. ...

on virtual memory but the last time it wouldnt let me open emails because of that and then I rebooted which I dont do often and it worked. No clue. I think a lot of this happened since upgrading to IE8. ...

I need help setting up Outlook Express from scratch. I need help with everything. I guess I am really dumb. ...

Usual story -- I loved MT, but I'm about to be laid off and know another MT job would probably pay minimum wage (if that!). I'm lucky, in that I'll get enough unemployment to live on and will probably still have enough savings to pay tuition. However, I have no preexisting college degree, and both unemployment and tuition money will only stretch to about 5 quarters. I've already passed the CPC exam once, can brush up and pass it again. My local co ...

Hope someone can help me with this one. I recently updated to Windows 8 and Office 2013. As of about five days ago my deleted messages are NOT showing up in the deleted items folder. Not sure if I inadvertently changed a setting, or what the problem could be. I'm using Comcast email, IMAP account. Thanks!!! ...

them after next month. I wasnt reallly counting in all this new equiipment that I probably will have to buy. What can I do without spending a ton of money. I am thinking just to keep doing this and what happens happens. ...

I currently have Outlook 2010 on my PC and I HATE IT! I can't save any contacts. I keep getting a message that says I don't have permission to save to that folder or something to that effect. It's has an obnoxious toolbar at the top of the screen that I have to study every time I need to perform any kind of action. I really just want something simple. I don't have Outlook Express on my PC which I would use if I had it. I've been looki ...

that is wide enough for a wrist rest. This needs to be in my bedroom so cant be too huge. I like the tower off the floor also. Thanks. ...

Rarely do I start discussion on mtstars - however, 2014 was a particularly challenging year for myself - an experienced MT/Editor (15+ years). However, I realize that many other MTs may be in the same position, i.e., having many years devoted to working at the Big MTSOs including â��the M,â�� and â��the Nâ�� and (now to be included) â��the Tâ�� following close behind in total numbers of MT/Editors on staff. (Hint: Sure most of you know the M, the N and the T - and the names have been int ...

I have expierence with QA, although have never been paid production for it. I do enjoy QA more. Does anyone have expierence at All Type in QA? Are they reliable?? Do they pay well? I currently make about 32000/year and need more. Would this be doable? TIA!! ...

experience with this company. Sounds like they suck up our accounts and then pay us less than pennies to clean up the trash. ...

Well Good Friday to me. I left Spheris. It is indeed the best Friday for me in a very long time. I've had it with their lousy platform, Mafia QA (they try their best to kill your spirit), mandatory this, mandatory that, do this, don't do that, change this, don't change that; no, don't change this, don't change that, and on and on and on, and now their bankruptcy. No PTO for the next 4 months to keep the clients satisfied during ...

I so look forward to these last 5 years going by fast: Going back to college to get a degree and walking away from MT never looking back. If it wasnt for paying for my schooling, I'd be out of this by now. If things get too bad I'd consider cutting lunch meat, stocking shelves at the neighborhood grocery store, whatever. The only up side to my 10+ years of doing MT work has been able to stay home for my kids and making pocket change.&nb ...

A Massachusetts company says proposed procedures for selling the assets of bankrupt Spheris Inc. are unfair and discourage others from bidding on the Franklin-based medical transcription company.

Makes no difference that I know of to the dictator. Doesn't save him or her any money. Probably a negative for the patient, as I sincerely believe there is a bigger chance of their medical record being less than accurate. Sure is not a plus for us MT/ME's, except those extremely few who seem to have the right account, I would venture a guess of about 5% of us. The only positive I see is to the client. They are getting lied to, that if they go with ASR, it is such a g ...

I have a trial version now, and I need it in 5 days. Is it better to download from a website or get the "hard copy" and install? I don't have a lot of money to spend. ...

IM D O N E with all this at mtstars !!!! ...

Y'all are freaking me out! All this talk about PM and being watched when uploading or downloading a job, etc. etc. etc. I am only a lowly second-tier MT. I have been corrected a lot and it's all valid -- or an opinion based correction. All my corrections have fallen in the minor minor category, but the way y'all talk you'd think I'd be let go by now. OMG people! Our QA person just transferred to some other department, and I suspect all ...

At least they bothered to get back to me. ...

I have been an MT for 8 years before moving up to the MME position recently. I told myself that I would never nitpick as I experienced in the past. I still hold true to that. We are to only fill in the blanks unless we note an obvious error, then its full QA, except we get paid the fill-in-the-blank line rate rather than 100% QA line rate (3 cpl rather than 4). However, if we fill in the blank and NOT catch an error that is caught on the MTs audit, we get clobbered ( ...

So I'm the new employee that posted a week or so ago. So far things are going good. Still in training so we will see. I do love the software and since I'm new, ASR is really the only thing I know, so I enjoy it. By the way the comedy stop section is histerical...it's a great way to end the week:) ...

The obvious but the only thing that comes to mind now. ...

awhile back, i had posted about how MQ had taken over the company that i worked for and cut our pay in half...well, i am very happy to say that today, they they reinstated to almost what we were making, and are making it retroactive... ...

After struggling financially and being increasingly unhappy with my job for three years (yes, only three years) I am officially DONE with MT work. I have other skills that would be more fullfilling to pursue and i'm going to do it. Honestly, i'd settle for a job at a grocery store at this point. At least i'd have a steady paycheck. I don't know if it's just me, but the monotony of this job makes me crazy. Just doing the same thing all day, every day, no socialization, QA ...

Occuaptional Outlook. Not so good yall - see inside

6% growth is overly optimistic in my opinion. - I see 0% growth or negative. NM

Its zero.Zero growth - Its done, over.

6%, eh? They must be talkin' about India. - Other poster is right: "US = zero."

According to an article linked on this forum, MT - in India is in trouble. Time to start
