Indian holiday this weekend

There is nothing more irritating to me than to call for MOT on a holiday weekend knowing darn good and well that the workload will slow down and work might trickle in for the majority of the accounts, yet you expect an extra hour of overtime... kiss my grits MM You offer bonuses for certain groups in a POD, send out emails on backlog and MOT for our group, yet I'm getting accounts from someone elses POD, not some other group but someone elses POD... kiss my grits MM You ding me for puttin ...

Look, we are a team here... and I thought we work together. If we were working together riddle me this, why am I getting so many dictations today which are dictators who really really don't speak English at all and would need tons of blanks? Seriously... is any one else experiencing this today? Being Passover and Easter I understand the regular dictators are not on, and being the weekened, but can't we all share in the joy, and not have so many cherry picking? I fina ...

There was a question about MTs pay in India. It is generally dependent on the line count and quality. Direct upload MT transcribing 800 lines per day - Rs. 1.2 (nearly 3 cents) - 22 working days - Rs. 21,120 (around $600 per month) - greater than 98% accuracy (supposed to be) Only professionals like engineers, doctors, some software guys, etc. get more salary than this. Things are a little different in CBay (Medquist) India. Irrespective of experience, the MT ...

I just saw a post from last month wondering about what the accuracy level is that Indian MTs have to maintain. On Editscript, expected accuracy is 99% and tolerated accuracy is 98.5%. If your job is marked by QA as below 98% accuracy, you do not get paid for that job. Critical/grave/major/minor errors are all assessed per job and factor into accuracy calculations. If you have more than 5 major errors per 2000 lines, you lose the right to work on an account. Most Indian MTs prod ...

Would someone please explain to me exactly why there are so many people in India that can to American transcription? How in the heck are they so proficient in the English language? Heck, 99% of Indian doctors I get couldn't speak a grammatically correct sentence if their life depended on it. I'm not kidding, I would really like to know. ...

Does anyone have problems with Indian QCs (scores are good with US QCs), such as thinking that they may be deliberately marking errors where none existed originally? I've tried to copy my reports to check against them when I get Indian QC feedback, but the platform won't allow it. How does anyone else handle this?? TIA ...

Are any other MMEs out there coming across Indian MTs who conveniently leave out portions of dictation, because they don't understand it? I'm finding words or phrases left out that are completely clear, but a lot of the time is American slang. Other times, it seems that they make up phrases to fit dictation they don't understand. Anyone else? ...

Is this company Indian owned or a US company? ...

In the past, it was stated by editors that the work was exceptionally good, except for some terms used more commonly in the US. I suppose they have more problems on the consults, which is why I've been receiving 15 minute typed consults lately, but at least I have work. Can anyone objectively state quality of Indian MTs work? How many here have actually seen the work they produce? ...

Have been working for a couple of months for a local clinic and there are 2 large hospitals in our area --- one uses in-house transcriptionists and one uses an MTSO. I can tell without a doubt which reports come from which hospital. The ones from the in-house MTs look like a user-friendly, readable report, and the MTs initials are readily available at the end of the report. The quality is exceptional. I know most of those MTs personally and they all have more than 10 year ...

Does anyone have any suggestions to help with transcribing Indian accents? Are there any special settings on Express Scribe that might help? Thanks! ...

As best I can calculate, the Indian MTs are started at about $40/week. This is not an error. I looked at both the application from Nuance (which can be found by googling) as well as the exchange rate. So when you see all the "extras" they are offered, try not to be jealous; they can't buy groceries with those extras. Apparently they are as dissatisfied with the management of the MTSOs as are we Americans. The question seems to be how many will continue to work for such low salaries and ...

Indian dictators and give me some jobs I can understand that don't have to go to QA!!!! ...

I received a request to chat on my FB account today. The person on the other end was an MT in India and he was essentially requesting American MTs to subcontract to him, let him do the work and pay him because (paraphrased) "even if the client doesn't wish the work offshored, there are many ways around this and no one would be the wiser." Anyone else had an encounter such as this? I did find out he makes about $700/month working 6 days a week, 8 hours a day. Has an ...

Predictions, next 2 years for MQ: 1. Another re-structuring. Most CCMs will lose their jobs, to include middle management. 2. All old accounts will stay in U.S. unless directed by hospital to go to India (like what happened to my old accounts), but here is the catch: India management will push for them to go to India! 3. All easy work will go to India - no exceptions. 4. All new accounts will go directly to India and only special docs that the Indian ...

My dictations seem a lot easier today on Saturday with a lot of good dictators versus all of the horrible dictators during the week and I was wondering if this could be due to the Indian MTs not working weekends, or maybe it is just my good luck today! ...

Simple comparison of SR rates of US and INDIAN MTs (M*MODAL) INDIAN RATES... 0.01492646 U.S. dollars = 0.82 Indian rupees Source: Google. ...

No, I do not hire or send overseas ANY OF MY WORK, but I just received another resume from an Indian MT with her resume and quoting 9 cpl, which is ridiculous. The way I have been seeing it, with their inflated economy and greed, they will cost just as much as we do in the US and ace right out of the playing field... Why would I want to hire an Indian MT for that price? I would not want to send my work over there no matter what price and would rather go out of business then give them even 1 repo ...

Just wondering why there are so many Indian-born dictators here (with thick accents). Most of the time, I can't understand half of what they're saying... very frustrating. It's just one long blur. :p ...

Sorry - this was supposed to go down below in the Indian tech thread... One spent almost an hour fixing my problem and wouldn't give up until he did. I told my husband an American tech would've gotten rid of me after about 15 minutes and blamed it on my ISP. And these techs were very polite, whereas some of the American techs were very snotty and condescending. As I said, I feel disloyal to the American techs, but both of my OS techs were very helpful. And had no languag ...

After reading about that poor Swiss woman who was vacationing in India with her husband and being gang raped by 8 men, does anyone else's skin crawl just knowing we work for a company owned by India and their total disregard for women ?? ...

When you look on FB and look up MModal, the only people who like are Indians, and the only pictures they have are of Indians. So what does that tell you? I definitely am leaving this field and am in a court reporting program, but I still have probably another year or maybe a little longer to complete and was just hoping to hold on to this job to make a little bit of money, but that's probably not going to be possible. Very sad. Thanks everyone for your tips about the ...

I cannot wait when I am finished with college. Anyway, I cannot get in to work. IT tells me what to do and tells me how I can change my password anytime. WHICH BY THE WAY I CAN'T!!!!! BECAUSE IT FRICKEN BLOCKS ME!!!!! Then he yells at me and cuts me down when I went back in to see if I could change my password and indian IT yells at me and states in his UGLY TONE (WHY ARE YOU GOING IN TO THE PASSWORD WHEN I, I, I, "ALREADY" CHANGED IT!) Guess what?? I wanted to go ...

about $3.00 an hour!! That's working for Nuance. ...

the module for "difficult ESL" dictators, there are only sections for "Americanisms," "Hawaiian" and "Southern" -- If it were geared for American MTs the ESLs would be "Indian" "Chinese" etc. I guess I'm just stating the obvious, though I thought it was funny....NOT! ...

A friend was telling me that a lawyer friend was telling her about how he's working on a lawsuit dealing with all of the errors with the work that some Indian MTs have done. He was very vague, of course. Has anyone else heard something similar? ...

An MT from India started a thread, and there were a few responses, now the entire thing is gone. What happened? ...
