Transcription Plus, LLC in Bristol, CT and also Taylor'D Transcription in Oroville, CA. Any information at all would be appreciated. TIA ...

I worked for MedQuist for over 10 yrs and then decided to take a little break, which I did. I'm thinking about going back to work in medical transcription from home and would appreciate any current feedback you can give me on companies to avoid or that you recommend. Thanks! Tricia ...

Yes, I'm taking a class related to my field or job role. --- Now what would that particular class be? English as a second language? Eponyms 101? ...

I would like honest answers. Who will be writing an essay? I, for one, will not be for so many reasons I can't even state them all, but you all know them well. The sad fact is that I have only been with MQ since October. Was promised the moon...but, well, we see where that has gone. I don't even know where my primary account is anymore! I fully believe that even if NO ONE submits an essay, there will be a "winner" anyhow, but I'm curios to see ...

I'm one of the holdouts on switching to 6.1. I use my own computer, a Vista 32 bit and it sounds like it should work. However, there are so many people complaining how sluggish their computer is now, while others say they are having no problems, I'm curious. My questions are: 1. Are you using your own computer? 2. Is it Vista, XP or Windows 7? 3. Are you having problems with 6.1 being slow? I guess I'm hoping to hear that my computer will ru ...

Hello, I would like to take a poll on who would like to talk to the QA people about your feedback? Or do you not want to talk to the QA people? ...

I am curious as to the status of other MTs around the country. If you are a regular production-paid MT working as an employee or IC for a transcription company (i.e. not a team lead, supervisor, owner, etc.), I would appreciate your feedback in this little poll. How many years have you been in this business? What company do you currently work for? What platform (if any) do you currently work with? How many lines per hour do you average? How many hours a week do you work? What is your ...

For all of you who screamed (yes I heard it as screaming or whining) about the purpose, ulterior motives, etc. For gawd's sake, if you are posting anonymously, what does it matter to give the particular information the poster asked for? No, I'm not the OP and I'm not an MTSO, don't own a suit. Just someone who can't figure out how some of you get through life being outright miserable, suspicious, and unhappy. Sharing info with another MT (or even ...

Like this message if you believe there is no future in MT and that the best plan is to escape. Dislike this message if you believe in MT and think what we need to do is unionize or use some other means to try to save it. ...

For the posters here looking into other fields of employment and/or courses, what would you do if you were contimplating getting into a field that you were not thoroughly in the know about, and an online university offered a couse in that field for $38,000? ...

For those who still do MT work, I'm curious to know what your work situation is, inhouse, outhouse with MTSO, IC with direct contracts to MDs/facilities? ...

knew you were about to be fired? Stop right then, keep working?? I am just curious. ...

I think it will help us all to know where we stand. Maybe put a range of experience first, like 1-5 years, 6-10 years, 11-15 and 15+ and then your Regular/SR rate (not including any eve or weekend differentials). I'll start: 11-15 years of experience. 0.0825 regular/ 0.0465 SR. For me, this is a pay cut recently. I was working at a different company until recently, making .09 regular and .05. Even though I know this MT thing is going down, it still suck ...

I got dinged on an audit for putting 4 x 4s, was told it should be 4 x 4's. Just wondering what the concensus is. ...

Glad you all are doing great in your jobs and have work. ...

If you get NJA on a very regular basis, reply with what state you are in. Apparently, some states require pay for downtime, CA I believe being one of them. I'm not sure of the other states. Obviously, work can be routed to or away from us at will, and I have a feeling they are choosing MTs from the states that mandate downtime pay over states that don't. ...

Some have been trying for over 7 years to change things and things haven't changed. Okay. Those of you who are quite certain you want to try to change things, how long have you been doing it? And how much longer are you going to do it? I guess we who have been speaking up for 7 years have been doing it all wrong? ...

So, we can remain anon. Please click on like if your pay rate was NOT cut. Please click on dislike if your pay rate was cut. Thanks for your attention. ...

What annoys you most on posts? Not just here, but anywhere on the Internet? For some reason, it annoys the heck out of me what someone ends a post with *sigh* but *LOL* doesn't bother me in the least. I don't know why. ...

I am curious to see answers from other QC on the questions below: Have you in the past had a very good audit score, only in the last few weeks all of a sudden have become incompetant with failing audits? Have you quit yet or plan to? Do you just plan to get an additional job to make up the diff? Are you completely fine with the whole thing, have great % and great LPH? ...

What would you (if you are MT/ME) if MQ decides to make us all MMEs? I read a post previously that hinted at this. ...

I started out in 1989 with one company who merged with that company who bought out that company and then merged with that company known as The MRC Group who merged with Transcription Limited who is now known as MQ. ...

do you spend doing required work that you don't get paid for? For instance: "Simply" punching in for the day, then punching out, in and out again if you take a break or have a split shift on our zippy and oh-so-easy-to navigate ScheduleSource. Keeping an expanded paper file (fills up my desk) of all the client profiles we have to know like the back of our hand (so far 43 for me in the last 18 months). Checking our turbo-charged Medquist mail system just to read the mail let alone a ...

These drive me nuts when I see them! "I could care less" ... WRONG! It is "I could not/couldn't care less" -- In other words, there is no more "caring" left! LOL Rediculous ... WRONG! It is "ridiculous." Pleural when "plural" is needed! You're vs your. You're stands for "you are"! Your is a possessive! Ok. Your turn! ...

I'm wondering if some of you could share with me what your company line per hour requirements are. Precyse now requires 240 lines for the voice recognition crap and 160 for the straight transcription crap and if you don't meet those requirements you are history. I'm curious as to what everyone else is expected to do for the privilege of eeking out a living. Thanks! ...

There are times I do enjoy the work. However, I have a few failed audits, performance management for lines, and NJA, so lately not too thrilled. I just wish it would get better. Sometimes I too would like to quit, but just keep plugging along. For me, at least it is some income adding to the pot, and that is a blessing. I often wonder would I save more money not working-dinner out due to no time to cook, lunch out due to no time for grocery store-you know the drill. Anyhow, trying to have ...

Is industry standard now a requirement of 99% accuracy for the usual employee review to maintain employment or (heaven forbid) achieve a bonus? 97%, 98%, or 99%. Just curious. ...

There are a lot of posts on this board with MTs stating they are going back to school for various things. I'm headed in that direction myself and would love to know what you are going back to school for and what school (online, community college, etc.), and any other information you would like to share. Thank you in advance for the inspiration! ...

I just heard yesterday where 1 place is saying you have to do at least 4000 lines per day in VR in order to work for them. Are other places saying the same, how about where you work? ...

Click Like for yes, it is company-owned (and covered if it crashes, i.e., money does not have to come out of your pocket) Click Dislike for no, it is your own personal PC (and not covered if it crashes, you get no money to cover it and have to shell out $500 for a new PC). ...
