Gee, if Amazon workers lost their case - fat chance we would have

I was researching VR software/platforms, intending to start a biz of my own. I came across some reviews on Dragon on Amazon, and I couldn't resist: "I am a speech recognition editor for various large hospitals, some with a million residents, and none of them train on SR. They just speak their usual gibberish as if they could care less about being duplicated by anyone (pity the poor patients) and it goes over to an editor at some transcription company who listens and fixes it.&n ...

Who knew this board would turn into a career advisement center for people trying to get out of MT? These are not at-home jobs, but this might be a good opportunity for someone. www.amazon.com/seasonal ...

I know exactly what you mean but I dont know the exact wording so now I have to go back and look at old reports and try and figure it out..and then make a shortcut for it cause you always talk like a dumbass...If you would talk like a human you would find your reports get done faster and more accurately.. Do they realize that we type over 100 different doctors on any given day or do they really think we are their personal transcriptionists..Someone needs to tell them how to talk..These companie ...

I know I'm fortunate to have the job I have and to be able to work from home, but I have a serious case of bunout! I've been trascribing for 25 years and have been looking for another career after recently graduating. In the meantime, I have to transcribe. Anyone have any techniques they use to overcome burnout? It seems it takes all I have lately to sit in my chair and transcribe, and I hate feeling this way! ...

I read this message board from time to time but have never posted but am looking for advice. Last fall I lost a full time job at a bank - which caused me to sincerely doubt my self-confidence as an employee. I then started the career step MT program and am currently about 60% compete. I recently applied and accepted a job at a local, very busy gift/general merchandise store. I like the job. It pays $9 per hour and is about 30 hours a week. There aren't any benefits. I believe I ...

Very interesting article! ...

will tell you one more time what they just did to me. In my former BOB was back up to about $18/hour, getting kudos for having 100% accuracy on many reports. Then switched to a new BOB. After working for about 24 hours on the account I was audited, failed at 98.1% and immediately put on 100% QA at which point I quit. Previously I had been audited once a month (and sometimes went for months without an audit) and when I occasionally failed, was given another month to "improve." I was making 1 ...

Spoke to someone last night that had a friend fired for Christmas. Not a transcriptionist, but a medical biller in Florida..Their work was outsourced to Pakistan..And to add insult to injury her company actually tried to tell her she had to stay and train her replacement..This is the future of anything medical, and probably anything that can be done from a remote location.. ...

There's a post buried below regarding overtime and a case lost by Keystrokes in Texas. A KS poster (probably the owner) states "It is a lie". It's not a lie. Here's the publicly accessible truth. The link for the original charges is listed below this post. The Final Judgment 6/19/09 is below and states that all Keystrokes employees must be informed. These files are open to the public to view. -------------------------------------------------------- ...

This is a patient who has a poor fitting prosthesis and developed an ulceration on his leg. It sounds like the doctor states prothesis case will probably be windowed? Does this make sense to anyone? ...

After readings these boards, I have to say I must be either be an extreme case or lucky. I have been an MT for about 20 years. I have worked both in-house and at home, being at home the last 7 years. I have worked for both MTSOs and independently. I have to say I work part-time for 2 companies (small MTSOs) as an IC and love it. I have done so for about 2 years now and know what my day looks like by 9 a.m. every morning and plan accordingly. Yes, ther ...

A lot of the standards are single spaced, whether they are supposed to be or not.. if you go to the top panel there are a pair of binoculars the icon NEXT to it on the right is a find and replace feature,,,you can type in any say word that is consistently wrong and then type it correctly in the replace box and it will fix the whole document...Same can be done for punctuation put in there . (one space) and in the find replace put the . (two spaces) and hit the button, fixe ...

I wrote in to ask for help from a major radio broadcaster who is a lawer, ***** (not allowed to advertise other websites here). I briefly and objectively explained our quandary. A lawyer said Mr. H_____ asked him to "briefly respond to your case" and is stepping up to the bat. He said he believes we could have a case by "wrongful termination by constructive discharge." His name is *****. I'll be calling him on my lunch break and getting back to yo ...

Just curious to those who have been in this profession awhile and have become hurt as a result, have you filed and won or not won? I have battled pain about eight years now and have hit a wall, can no longer work. My hands and wrists swell up, I have twitches in all fingers, I drop things, cannot grip or open things, cannot write, wear splints, driving hurts. Just wondering other's experience with this. I have about 20 years until retirement so I need to keep working ...

current date into the body of the report, it's puts the WRONG date. For example, I just noticed that it put 11/08/2010, and of course it's 08/10/2010. So, I may have been inserting the incorrect address until noticing this. Does this happen with anyone else or just me? Is it a stupid "upgrade" glitch.......or is it just another way that QA can ding us and get us below 98%. I hate sounding so paranoid, but that is what working for MQ has done to me.&n ...

picketed and millions of emails from MTs like ourselves should be sent to them complaining, just as others are doing. This is an absolute disgrace, comedy or no comedy!!!! The show is called Outsourced. If you do not want to click the link below then Google NBC - Outsourced, as I did, and read about the show and also read the hundreds, if not thousands, of people who are writing NBC and complaining! Such poor taste! http://www.nbc.com/news/2010/05/07/nbc-picks-up-three-n ...

California employees, please file a wage claim. The DLSE was very interested in all the nonproduction time we spend and stated Nuance needs to change their policies, but they haven't made any changes since specifically being made aware. I overheard that there are a few other cases, but I urge everyone to file. It's free and you are protected by the anti-retaliation laws. ...

I have to admit, I wasn't familiar with what "Ambulatory" transcription would entail, so I went searching on the internet and came across this PDF. It is a stark reminder that Nuance is not a transcription company. They are a technology company, a speech recognition company, and we are all test subjects to make their speech engine better (through the thousands of doctors dictating and all of our editing). They don't want to use transcriptionsits to do their work. They wan ...

when I started telecommuting full time.It finally penetrated my consciousness a couple of weeks ago that every year, when it came time to renew my auto insurance policy, I used to get a call from a local agent, and we'd go over the policy, making sure there were no changes. One of the questions was always how many miles did I drive to and from work each day, along with the current odometer reading, and the estimated number of miles driven each year.I haven't gotten one of those calls i ...

Anyone know how to write an appeal letter? I was denied by the judge, even though my doctor said I have wrist and hand tendinitis due to typing for 16 years. Wow, i'm devastated, not only am I hurting, but financially a wreck. Anyway, I am writing an appeal to the board and have no money to visit a lawyer, wondering what goes in an appeal letter. Any help greatly appreciated. TIA ...

So sorry for the rant, but I am so tired of companies wanting us all to cover third shift, but don't want to pay anything extra when we do and if they do it's something like a quarter of a penny, what in the world is that? I know I shouldn't complain, but this shift is HARD to work, especially when you have little ones. Just a little frustrated tonight, and I know there are people who have it worse than I do, but I don't have anywhere else to vent. Thanks ...

Aside from that, what was the hourly pay - for working at a nuclear facility?
