KCS PsychType. Wondered if this service has happy transcribers. - anon

Posted: May 30, 2011

On this posting only 1 was found a while ago and the transcriptionist said it was 2 hours away and she needed the job badly, but no questions were answered and she would have to drive 2 hours away tao be trained. The pay was very low and many difficulty factors. Wondered if over the years, anytihing has changed. This is just a one-owner business and not a big national.

A transcriber is a machine and therefore, by definition, cannot be happy! :)-

From the online OED (Oxford English Dictionary), the worldâ��s preeminent English dictionary.

1. One who transcribes; a copyist or copier, as distinct from an original writer.
1610 P. Holland tr. W. Camden Brit. (1637) , The carelesse negligence of transcribers.
1654 T. Fuller Ephemeris Parliamentaria Pref. sig. Â¶, Iâ�¥who have no commission to be an Authour, but a Transcriber.
1791 Gentleman's Mag. Jan. 21/1 The dull transcribers of printed sermons.
1841 I. D'Israeli Amenities Lit. (1867) 218 Spurious writingsâ�¥ascribed by ignorant transcribers to some ancient sage.

2. An item of office equipment on which dictation cannot be recorded, but which replays dictated matter for transcription by an (audio) typist.
1931 Times 16 Mar. 1/6 All-electric Dictaphone with Shaver and Transcriber: good condition.
1976 Southern Evening Echo (Southampton) 3 Nov. (advt.) Duties will include shorthand or use of transcriber, typing, correspondence, filing, [etc.].

Please notice the definition of one who transcribes comes before the definition of an item of office equipment. For being so old, you havenâ��t learned much.

PS: Notice the first example of usage from 1610.

I am applying tomorrow for a job where they - would like to be a transcriber

want a medical transcriber. I would be happy to get it, too, as it is an inhouse position.

Anon, sorry don't have the answers to your questions.

I think of thousands (I hope) MTs coast to coast across the country working at home under various circumstances, and I try to picture this in my head. I live in Tennessee and I have my office set up where I am facing a window. The window is open and there is a nice breeze, I'm watching the hummingbirds at the feeder, and across the road in the woods there is a mother deer and two little spotted babies. Would anyone care to share where you live and what your office setup is ...

I was contacted by an MQ recruiter saying she wanted to schedule an interview for me at a certain time on a day I was gone all day.

Everyone one of this doctor's dictations end with "The rest of the....." but maybe should have been left off of this one. "She was declared expired on 10/08/2011 at 11:25. The rest of the hospital stay was uneventful." May the patient rest in peace. ...

Wondering how other TT transcribers feel about the past few months audits.

Who in their right mind names a company "Happy Transcriptions?" In this day and age, all I see is "sad" MTs and, in my opinion, if "Happy Transcriptions" is still happy, they can only be messing even more with us poor "sad" MTs. All I can say is I am so "happy" I am so close to being on my way out of MT! ...

Ugh, don't want to sound like a massage service, "We offer that personal touch" (wink wink). I'm just daydreaming, I mean brainstorming: How to beat the MTSOs, even on a small, micro-business scale. What does a typical doctor in his or her typical practice need as far as medical documentation? How can we do that better than an MTSO, or even self-serve EMR? The lady who mentioned in another post having a typing speed of 200 wpm, "fast as someone could talk" (wow) made me start thinking ...
