Just curious, but how does it make you feel when your

when the account is verbatim and they speak so incoherently. Why do they do this and yet expect a perfect report? I am to type exactly what they say because it is "verbatim", but their actual speech makes both of us look pretty stupid and I resent having my name associated with the report. Anybody else feel the way I do?? ...

I just heard a dictator say "thank you transcriptionist for your hard work. I know I am not easy to transcribe. Have a good day". I am SHOCKED! Haven't heard a thank-you like that in a long time! ...

I seem to be spending an awful lot of time in VR documents, so I am confused as to why I am getting paid less for them. This stupid VR system types whatever it thinks it might be hearing and sometimes doesn't type anything at all. I hate this VR. I am up to 1800 lines but usually do 2200-2500 a day on straight transcription. I don't know how I am going to feed my children. I am a single mom and the head of household. Believe me the child support isn& ...

Did any DTS employees get a Christmas gift, bonus or even a card this year? (obviously I didn't) ...

would actually like working over-time on an every single week basis, not just occasionally, but EVER SINGLE WEEK, cutting into your life and trying to plan things around this extra work. I wouldnt mind once in awhile, but weekly mandatory is killing me. Opinions welcome! ...

internet search engine. I have found that Google is causing serious slow down of the computer since upgrading to 6.1 and wondering if this could be the culprit of the problems with 6.1 as when I switched from Google to other search engines I am not having the slow DQS 6.1 problem. Support suggested this when they tried to fix the problems I was having. I want to know what others have found to be a good search engine for MT other than Google. I don't know why Google would have any ...

With FTR still in play and all the other requirements made of us highly-paid MTs, when ASR 4 cpl goes into effect in February, does that mean 3 cpl would still be deducted if our "performance" had to be improved? Would that mean 1 cpl or, as an example, if an MT produced 1000 ASR lines in one day, would that MT make $10 for a day's work? TIA ...

Everytime I post a question asking about OSi/Nuance I don't get any answers. Does anyone know why? Thanks for your help. ...

I have always worked as an employee and about a month ago went to work as an IC, however, the company has now gone under and was wondering since I was an IC at the time, does that mean I cannot get unemployment or can I qualify because I worked as an employee up until a month ago? Thanks for any advice. ...

on every ASR report today? ...

If you had access to an education in any field of your choice and wanted to completely leave transcription, what field would you choose? (This is not a trick question, just something I have wondered about. Me, I would choose engineering.) ...

Are there any Andrews MT grads out there who cannot land a job, feel unprepared for work, or hate MT? ...

I had never even heard of medical transcription until 4 years ago when I was invited to a "graduation party" by a friend who had finished her online MT course. How did everyone else get started in this business, both vets and newbies? What was it like before telecommuting opened this field up to so many people? ...

Are so many of you intent on being miserable that those of us who are not miserable and who are actually doing well are called liars? Why are we "rubbing it in" when we share that there are good gigs out there, that we have one and that we are doing well and yet when you are all spreading your misery, hate, and discontent you're "just telling the truth?" If you're working for a company that pays crap, is it then the company's fault or yours that you don't have a better job? ...

I know why I've been an MT for so long. I've had long periods in and out of the industry. I'm on my way out for the final time now. I've been interviewing and it looks good. My question is this. Why are YOU an MT? What is keeping you from getting a good job that pays you what you deserve instead of servant wages? What is holding you back from your self-respect? With me, it's my bad temperament and my general dislike of people. ...

gets the feeling they are trying to get you to quit. ...

When I was hired to this field a million years ago,,,there was flexibility and no vacation days. To me it was a trade off. Now, I have vacation days and the pay is lowered, so I can't afford to go anywhere. Are people willing to say, hey, I'll trade paid vacation for flexibility and better pay? ...

As I just got of a dictation with variable volumes and of course the eventual hang up with the loud dial tone, seems to me we could make a real good case for a worker's comp hearing loss problem. Not so much to collect now but to make an argument that they need to fix the volume on the system and maybe actually train the doctors to dictate correctly or be liable for lawsuits before we all go deaf. Too late for me, the ringing is staggering at this point. Thoughts anyone ...

Can anyone who has done EMR records tell me, is it that much different than transcribing a document? The ads that I see where they are hiring for EMR usually want experienced, but doesnt the experience just have to do with learning the platform? I would love to learn to do EMR, thats why I'm asking. I'm very experienced in transcription, been a QA for 9 years even, so the transcription part is no concern for me, I'm thinking it is just learning the system, am I r ...

Our hospital just went with M*Modal. We are getting laid off in a couple of months. I am curious to know the answer to this question. We have three doctors that stand out way ahead of the rest of our doctors with their HORRIBLE dictation. I MEAN HORRIBLE! However, I have no problem doing the dictation only b/c I have done their work for almost 17 years. How many transcriptionists or editors or whatever will those particular reports go through when sent to M*Modal before t ...

"friend" tell another their place of employment was great more than likely knowing that when the friend finds out, they will know it is not great. I can only think of a referral bonus, but I did not think those were given anymore. ...

Can anybody tell me if RW n JR still here? ...

Question for QC friends. Have you resigned yet? I have. ...

I was just looking at the Word Help board - I can't imagine working at home by myself, having no one to ask for help. When I first started, you could turn to the person next to you and get some help. They've really been thrown to the wolves. Good luck, all!! ...

as the poster below. I think the lag in our computers now with the 6.1 is either because the ILPs are "observing" while we are typing or there is a spyware included to watch our keystrokes and screens. Getting paranoid. ...

Today is payday. Never knowing what it will be until I check my bank account, I get this horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach while logging on to my bank's website. It's sort of like butterflies, but not as pleasant a feeling! This morning, I took a look at the last five deposits. Most are within 20 or 30 dollars, but they all are getting progressively smaller, smaller, smaller. Compared to two years ago, it's literally half of what I was making. Egads! Soon I will be p ...

I know a lot of you work for companies right now that do not have enough work and I can truly empathize with you, have been in that boat as well. But the company I work for begs us to do overtime every single solitary weekend, aka Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I have been in this field for almost 30 years and quite honestly I am burnt out. I put in my 40 hours a week and feel the rest of my life is my time. I have neck problems and back problems as well, but still manage to do my best and am also ...

Who are actually listening and believing this BS that WMJ is spewing out. She or he does NOT have your best interest at heart. If you choose to do the sick out I can guarantee that you will not have a job when you try to log back in on the 2nd. We work in an at will employment job. They can lock you out and not even give you a reason for letting you go. We do not have a union which would protect you in a strike situation though I for one still would not want to be in a union because they ar ...
