I got a message asking me to contact them at a specific time about a job. Usually I am asked when I am available to talk about a job with someone.

They also go as World Wide Dictation, out of NJ. If not them, I have no idea who it might be. The Metro WWD out of NJ was a great outfit, they don't hire very often as there is not much turnover. If you can get in, stay there.
Thanks for the answer!! Yeah it is them. I will surely - sm

I do 95% ESL but they didn't have much of that when I worked for them. Steve, Howard and Pauline are great people - as I said, they don't advertise often because people are happy there. I left because of a better opportunity at the time.
Thank you again:) I spoke with them this morning and got the job! - sm
Hello Everyone:
I am looking for any insight on this company. I am strongly leaning towards it, but I don't know anyone who has had experience with the company.
Thanks!

Has anyone else been asked by WWD to provide a business card? And specifically state on their bus. card "independent contractor"? What's up with that? Anyone hear if they are in trouble or being investigated? Hear anything about them going out of biz? ...
Are many companies installing Dragon for all their MTs to use, or are most using back-end VR where the MTs simply edit? Inscribe is going 100% Dragon. Is that an industry trend? ...
The company I work for just increased our production requirements from 220 to 240 LPH for ASR and for straight transcription from 150 to 160 LPH. They gave their reason as industry-wide production requirement increases. Anyone else out there have the same problem. ...
I know and accept the fact (albeit grudgingly) that ASR and offshoring are the wave of the future, but do you think that as the economy improves that things will cycle and what we do will once again become valued with the recognition of our value being reflected in higher salaries? Or do you think that the unhappy reality is that regardless of the economy salaries will either remain stagnant or continue to trend downward?
Thanks in advance for your input. ...
Morning all. Knew it was coming, just didn't know when. CTL gone Monday and this a.m., a totally new CCM. Haven't been told anything by anyone at MQ about any of this. Just happened. It's OK. The last CCM was pretty bad, never answered E.mails or phone calls. The CTL was great though and that is probably why she is gone. MQ can't stand to have anyone good for morale and/or MTs work for them. Look out everyone, its Christmas ...
PE section of report.
Abdomen: Revealed bulging flanks. An umbilical hernia was present. There were bowel sounds throughout. s/l Pastel's or Pascal's was positive, and there was a positive fluid wave.
Any help would be appreciated!

Yesterday (Sun) was a nightmare. I was struggling to get jobs all day long (see posts below). There were very few last night even, when there are normally an abundance of jobs. I was bouncing all over the place; it was like the cesspool all over again. Look at the backlog this morning; only 400 jobs company wide at 8 EST? I think whatever upgrade they did yesterday morning just sucked more accounts to our ILPs. ...
On my every-other-month audit by my QTL I lost points for expanding Clostridium difficule, but SHE wanted me to put (I kid you not) C Diff.
Now I have been reading stories by newswriters about E-coli, but I'm still putting E. coli.
Please don't tell me those idiot biddies at AHDI have changed the "rules" on us again.
I also make money typing papers for professional journals, and I really HATE dumbing myself down for MQ.
and...I'm still getting broken jobs with terms like ...
After I was terminated by Transcend, I thought my world had come crashing down on me, and I picked up the pieces and started to look for work. In the meantime, I filed for unemployment, never thinking I had 1 chance to gain that at all. My judgment came in from the review board in the State of FL., and they determined that there was no fault found on my part when the company terminated me, and that I had carried out my duties, as described in my job description, with no intent on my ...
Am I missing something? What happened in the world we live in now? It is as if something has gone terribly awry almost overnight. It must have changed when I wasn't looking...
I made a cold call to a pain clinic in a nearby town. I asked if I might send my resume via e-mail and was told "We don't like to give out our e-mail address." I was asked if I might mail it via snail mail to the attention of their office manner. I was told her name was " ...
This doctor is going way too fast. Even when we slow him down, he is going sooooo fast. Here is the sentence we have been stuck on!
The patient ___ sedation to the right. The abdomen is prepped Beta and scrubbed Beta solution and draped in usual fashion.
Same doctor, same dictation:
The area was checked for hemostasis, closed with 3-0 Vicryl of the subcutaneous tissue and 4-0 Vicryl ___ skin and steri-strips.
Please and thank you SO very much! ...
I am having a hard time. I am realizing this is exactly what I am doing. Working for another country. The country who came out with a new 49.00 computer as of today. This country is making money off of me.

I'm lucky enough to have one of the few remaining MT/E jobs that is NOT an MTSO (albeit not for much longer).
I've been reading here for quite a while, including the General, M*Modal, and Nuance boards.
It seems as if nearly everyone, everywhere has seen their work dry up in the extreme. At Nuance and M*Modal, of course, they reckon it's because it's all going to India, and all things considered, they're undoubtedly right, at least in part.
However, it doesn ...
Somehow I have hit some key combination and mycomputer screens are now viewed on their sides. The top is to the right and the bottom to the left. Anybody know how I can get this back the right way? My neck is getting sore. lol I know this happened to me before, but I don't remember how I fixed it. ...
So I just moved into a larger place which allows for my very own dedicated office. Not huge, about 14 x 14, yet I find myself totally clueless on ideas for how to decorate it. I'll be the only one using it so I pretty much have free rein over how to fix it up.
Would anyone like to share pics of their home office and pics of office equipment (computer tables, bookcases, etc) that you have or how you have fixed up your own home office? Maybe I can find some inspiration.

I have been noticing for the last few weeks that my deleted email file is empty when I have NOT emptied it or deleted the trashed emails. Yesterday I went to my inbox and deleted several emails that I did not need. They went to the deleted file and today they are GONE. The deleted file is empty.
Anyone else having the same issue? ...

So I was at a local clinic today that had switched over to a dropdown menu system and templates for their doctors a couple years ago and had laid off their transcriptionists and the doctor was just typing away in his template and of course I had to mention how as a medical transcriptionist this really bothered me. He told me that many of the doctors there were unhappy with the new system and had gone back to dictating and that they were more than likely going to be hiring transcriptionists ...
