Toll-free MT helpline - MassMT


Posted: Sep 18, 2010

Does anyone out there know of a toll-free MT helpline? I find it easier to talk to someone directly about a specific thing I'm looking for rather than wade through forums and replies.  Any help would be appreciated.

Part of your job as an MT is to do research. The MTs that help out on word boards and message forums are kind enough to take time out of their day to answer questions. The last thing anyone wants to do is waste time talking on the phone with someone. If you are too lazy to wade through forums and replies, maybe you should find another profession.

Wow, Shirley! First of all you don't know me, so please don't judge and call me names. Secondly, I meant no disrespect to the thousands of MTs who take time out of their day to answer questions. I've been in the business long enough to value any and all help. I was merely looking for another avenue of resources that might be available to me. I'm sorry if I offended you.

I just don't understand you. - Shirley Ujest

There are numerous word boards, and some boards even allow you to post a wav or mp3 file of the actual dictation in question. What more do you want?

Who do you think is going to fund a 24-hour, toll-free MT helpline, and who exactly is going to man this line 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year?

Just post your question and read the replies. How much simpler can it be?

After working for MQ for nearly 5-1/2 years, I'm finally leaving.  The first 5 years were great!  Then they decided to force QAs to do transcription and ASR.  If I wanted to transcribe I would have applied for an MT job.  Not to mention the fact that I was making close to $16 an hour and now this has been reduce to around $11 and sometimes under $8.  It's MQs loss.  It's too bad they don't treat their valuable employees better.  I just love ...

I'm giving notice that I'm quitting very soon!  I made good money until the last year or so and I'm leaving this job that I find boring and lonely (and now doesn't even pay well).  I'm going to be working for a doctor as a scribe and getting paid per hour!  Woo-hoo!!  The pay is not great but at least I will be out of the house and doing something a little different.  I will have human interaction too!  I'm burnt out beyond belief, ...

Judging from some of the recent posts below, there looks to be an exodus of sorts from MModal and MT in general. I have joined that group. I left MModal last month to pursue another at-home job NOT IN MT with flexible schedule, hourly pay, and pays substantially more than what I made at MModal. Don't know what took me so long to "take the plunge" away from MT. After many years of MT with 12 of those years being with Medquist/MModal and the last 7 on the same accounts, I already miss the wo ...

Woohoo! Got the job offer today.  At long last I am out of transcribing.  I feel such relief I cannot even believe it.  No more production pay at poverty rate.  No more frustration of broken promises.  For those of you staying, I really do hope the latest promises of hearing you and making changes will be kept.  And for those of you who keep saying quit whining and do something about it if you are unhappy, venting doesn't mean we aren't doing anything ab ...
