Tired transcribing

I've been doing this now for only 5 years. The first 3 years I worked for the same company and then they were bought out. I went to work for another company and they were bought out. Now I'm working for Transcend and they are being bought out. I need a new career, I just don't know what. I've always worked in the medical field, but I'm getting tired of it. <sigh> ...

I am going to receive 2 DVDs from a client containing focus group videos. I use Express Scribe for my clients. I have never transcribed a DVD and am wondering if there is a way to use Express Scribe for this. Researched this and found no helpful info. Has anyone done this, or is there another free program that I can use for this? Thanks. Lynn ...

This might be considered controversial, but has any MT out there used a VR program to "transcribe" dictation instead of actually using a keyboard to transcribe? So I am not misunderstood, I'll be very literal here: As the MT, you listen to the dictation and instead of typing it out, you speak what you are hearing into a VR program on your computer to produce the "transcribed" report. I can't be the only one out here who has thought of this and the only reason I can co ...

I wouldn't put anything past them. It might even get worse when the QCs start receiving production pay. ...

I'm sorry, I need to blow off some steam and perhaps those who have their own accounts could shed some light. I have been an MT for a very long time and in the past, what an MT did was TRANSCRIBE. We didn't follow account specs or change sentences, etc. Why has the MT industry come to this and why do the MTSO owners agree to this? I don't mind at all fixing broken English, because I understand that process, but changing what a doctor says, because it's ...

Is there any way to find the QC ID# to see if they are transcribing on my account? Just wondering because there were apparently a large number of people transcribing on my acct in the last few hours yet when I come on to work there is no work. Just wondering. ...

I am doing some side work transcribing a research interview, and was wondering your opinions. One of the respondents in the interview panel is ESL. Her grammar is very often incorrect. I asked them when I got the project if they wanted the transcription verbatim, and she said "yes, let's leave it true to form." I had asked because the previous work had a lot of "like" and "you know" in it, and transcribing every utterance was actually really hard. ...

Does anyone else use ear buds for transcribing? I am using Ipod ear buds and the sound quality is very good but they keep falling out of my ear, especially my left one. Does anyone have any suggestions for ear buds that they have used? Also, does anyone know why the search function has changed? It is possible to still search the boards? I haven't been able to figure it out. Thanks! ...

Hi, I would like to travel occassionally with my husband and still work while doing that. Does anyone work while traveling down the road. No airline involved, just strictly vehicle travel. If so, what setup do you use to stay connected to the internet? Thanks, LC ...

I was wondering if any of you are transcribing straight into EMR and if you are, how does that work? How different is it to standard MT? Do you use it in conjunction with VR? Do you work for a large or small hospital, clinic, or physician's office? Specialty? Anything else I forgot to ask? LOL ...

I am wondering what exactly and FTP progam is for transcribing. ...

Hey guys I was just mulling over the fact that editing accrues 1/2 that of transcribing, yet it tends to be as difficult if not moreso depending on the butchering job it does to the dictation (heavens forbid they have a thick accent. then it truly only stands in the way of progress...)... both I & my mother are MTs & just kind of wondering- does anyone else think this is fair? Is there literally anything fair about this? I mean, even the base rates for transcribing aren't mucho buen ...

Is there anyone here who can tell me why many of the companies who have psych reports only want MTs with 5 or more years experience? I've done a few psych reports and had no problems with them. I find them fascinating and would love to secure a job doing mainly those type of reports (if there are such jobs?). Just wondering why the 5 year requirement? Thank you in advance to anyone who has an answer. ...

I just did that. I was just so tired that I just transcribed a whole 4 minute job while doing what I think was sleeping. If felt good so it must have been some kind of sleep. I was saved by the phone. My husband called and woke me up and I looked up at the screen and it was an utter mess! I repeated lines over and over and typed gibberish. I went even as far and complex to hold down the shift key for brackets. I don't know why I did that when I didn't even need them. I'm s ...

Unfortunately, if I complain about this it won't do any good. But boy I can't make any money on jobs like that. Wish they'd just let me transcribe it instead of filling in the blanks. ...

HI! I am happy to announce that I decided to get back into transcibing. It has been 7 years since I have done it . This is a big step for me because I am older and memory has failed me a little so I will have to refresh my memory before going back in. Are there any webinars that I can take or any websites that will update me on anything that I need to know about reports or software? ...

I remember reading sometime ago there was another free transcription program out there. My problem is I just changed my operating system and now Express Scribe will not accept my product key. Until I hear back from NCH which probably won't be until tomorrow at the earliest, since it is the middle of the night there, I am dead in the water with work that needs to be sent back today. Any info would be appreciated. I'm just too broke today to buy any software today, and besides I wi ...
