Seeking recommendations for more typing, less speech

Ok everyone, need some advice please. At my old company I was straight typing and doing probably 1800 lines daily. I go do a new company and speech rec is all they have with probably 1% straight typing. I've been losing on the average of $600 per pay period as a result of speech rec. How the heck can I get back the money I was making doing straight typing? ...

I am so tired of getting a new account and having to "type" speech notes. We should not be typing these. And I don't have time to notify my TSM every time I have to type more than 50% of a note, and even then it is subjective and unclear as to how much typing should warrant being paid at the straight typing wage (and who can even tell if they convert those files to straight typing when you do notify them)!?!?! I notified my TSM that this account has some horrible dictators, not ...

I don't know too much about KVM switches, but I am getting ready to start two new jobs and have two different computers. I thought I might try one.

I have been an MT now for 10 years. My fingers and hands hurt horribly. I went yesterday and had nerve conduction studies done and I do NOT have carpal tunnel. The pain is just in my fingers.

(I'm sorry--this posted on the main board somehow...which is really strange as I almost never ever visit the main board...but oh well. Here is it again on the correct board.) I have been a transcriptionist for about 11 years. Was an employee for about 8 of those years and IC for 3 years during that 11-year period. I truly enjoy IC work more than employee status. I just enjoy the flexibility. My life is such that I no longer need to work full time, but I DO nee ...

I know there are tons of people asking for information on companies all the time on this board, but every company I search on looking for information on here, either the information is a few years old or not the information I'm necessarily interested in.
