that is wide enough for a wrist rest. This needs to be in my bedroom so cant be too huge. I like the tower off the floor also. Thanks. ...

Rarely do I start discussion on mtstars - however, 2014 was a particularly challenging year for myself - an experienced MT/Editor (15+ years). However, I realize that many other MTs may be in the same position, i.e., having many years devoted to working at the Big MTSOs including â��the M,â�� and â��the Nâ�� and (now to be included) â��the Tâ�� following close behind in total numbers of MT/Editors on staff. (Hint: Sure most of you know the M, the N and the T - and the names have been int ...

I have expierence with QA, although have never been paid production for it. I do enjoy QA more. Does anyone have expierence at All Type in QA? Are they reliable?? Do they pay well? I currently make about 32000/year and need more. Would this be doable? TIA!! ...

experience with this company. Sounds like they suck up our accounts and then pay us less than pennies to clean up the trash. ...

Well Good Friday to me. I left Spheris. It is indeed the best Friday for me in a very long time. I've had it with their lousy platform, Mafia QA (they try their best to kill your spirit), mandatory this, mandatory that, do this, don't do that, change this, don't change that; no, don't change this, don't change that, and on and on and on, and now their bankruptcy. No PTO for the next 4 months to keep the clients satisfied during ...

I so look forward to these last 5 years going by fast: Going back to college to get a degree and walking away from MT never looking back. If it wasnt for paying for my schooling, I'd be out of this by now. If things get too bad I'd consider cutting lunch meat, stocking shelves at the neighborhood grocery store, whatever. The only up side to my 10+ years of doing MT work has been able to stay home for my kids and making pocket change.&nb ...

.50 to .75 a page for legal for corporate: .40 to 1.00 per minute 0.0030 or 0.0040 per word. I am so confused on whether this is good pay or not...help! Thank you ...

http://nashville.bizjournals.com/nashville/stories/2010/02/15/daily9.html DO YOU THINK BELOW ARTICLE MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH SOME OF US MT'S SENDING IN EMAILS TO THAT ONE POST MENTIONED A WEEK AGO TO A REPORTER? A Massachusetts company says proposed procedures for selling the assets of bankrupt Spheris Inc. are unfair and discourage others from bidding on the Franklin-based medical transcription company. Nuance Communications Inc., a maker of speech recognition software, fi ...

Makes no difference that I know of to the dictator. Doesn't save him or her any money. Probably a negative for the patient, as I sincerely believe there is a bigger chance of their medical record being less than accurate. Sure is not a plus for us MT/ME's, except those extremely few who seem to have the right account, I would venture a guess of about 5% of us. The only positive I see is to the client. They are getting lied to, that if they go with ASR, it is such a g ...

I have a trial version now, and I need it in 5 days. Is it better to download from a website or get the "hard copy" and install? I don't have a lot of money to spend. ...

IM D O N E with all this at mtstars !!!! ...

Y'all are freaking me out! All this talk about PM and being watched when uploading or downloading a job, etc. etc. etc. I am only a lowly second-tier MT. I have been corrected a lot and it's all valid -- or an opinion based correction. All my corrections have fallen in the minor minor category, but the way y'all talk you'd think I'd be let go by now. OMG people! Our QA person just transferred to some other department, and I suspect all ...

At least they bothered to get back to me. ...

I have been an MT for 8 years before moving up to the MME position recently. I told myself that I would never nitpick as I experienced in the past. I still hold true to that. We are to only fill in the blanks unless we note an obvious error, then its full QA, except we get paid the fill-in-the-blank line rate rather than 100% QA line rate (3 cpl rather than 4). However, if we fill in the blank and NOT catch an error that is caught on the MTs audit, we get clobbered ( ...

So I'm the new employee that posted a week or so ago. So far things are going good. Still in training so we will see. I do love the software and since I'm new, ASR is really the only thing I know, so I enjoy it. By the way the comedy stop section is histerical...it's a great way to end the week:) ...

The obvious but the only thing that comes to mind now. ...

awhile back, i had posted about how MQ had taken over the company that i worked for and cut our pay in half...well, i am very happy to say that today, they they reinstated to almost what we were making, and are making it retroactive... ...

After struggling financially and being increasingly unhappy with my job for three years (yes, only three years) I am officially DONE with MT work. I have other skills that would be more fullfilling to pursue and i'm going to do it. Honestly, i'd settle for a job at a grocery store at this point. At least i'd have a steady paycheck. I don't know if it's just me, but the monotony of this job makes me crazy. Just doing the same thing all day, every day, no socialization, QA ...

22 letters long with more than its fair share of P's and J's who doesn't speak English dictating for 10+ minutes for your first report of the day. ...

ITS HORRIBLE and you are barely making your lines for that night? This is like clockwork. I will have a good day of dictation, speakers that actually make sense eventhough the VR still stinks and high line counts...the very next day, I am stuck with the worst speakers out there and barely get anything done and line counts to make you cry. Is this just me by coincidence or anybody else have this issue too?? ...

I had been feeling so fortunate, getting mostly good dictators in recent months, but now, in the past couple of weeks, all I'm getting are dictators with thick accents with bad sound quality and static or female dicators with high-pitched, monotone voices that are like fingernails on a chalk board. I keep thinking it's a temporary phase, but there seems to be not much let up. It's so discouraging. I hope to see the day when all this overseas outsourcing comes to a halt with new ...

I am wondering if anyone has anything good or bad to say about TTS, and is their voice recognition program pretty good? Thanks ...

I am not having a good day today. Come to think of it, I have not had a good day in a long time. I seem to have a blank in every report lately and pretty sure my QC coach is getting on my nerves!!! Hate to be negative, but can't help it. I should change my alias to Debbie Downer!!! ...

I could do MT in my sleep. I fill in blanks with almost a 100% completion rate. My QA scores are excellent. Any specialty, name it, I know it. And yet I'm embarrassed to tell anyone what I do because NOBODY CARES ANYMORE. And I can't find a job doing anything else either. There just aren't any jobs that really require this skill. It's just sad. I wish I had learned to anything besides this. ...

I got notice via e-mail that I didn't provide ADT information for a report and now the report is removed from my work pool. I've done this account for 6 years. THEY WANT ME GONE! I've never been told anything about this and to have an account removed is HUGE. I have no choice but to quit and find some other means of income. NUANCE SUX the BIG ONE! ...

They want someone to do transcription AND coding ...

There have been so many times that I come to this board and see MTs venting about MTSOs that are hard to work for, don't pay enough, don't give enough work, don't pay on time, nit-picky QA, etc., etc., etc. I have been an MT for more than 15 years and recently acquired pretty big account. I have a few MTs that I have contracted and in the process of training. When I hired I STRESSED that I needed someone flexible, someone that HAS EXTENSIVE OP note experience, an ...

Today is my LAST day transcribing! I start my new job on Monday! I can't wait! Good-bye transcription! You were my bread and butter for about 15 years but transcription do not bring me any joy like it use to with all of the aweful changes! Thank you to my manager for not answering my e-mails, for QA nitpicking me to death (despite on all my formal QA'd reports, I was always above 98%), thank you for not giving me a raise, thank you for treating me l ...

Remember the good old days, when we worked either in a transcription pool, the medical records department or at a doctor's office? I was trying to figure out what a doctor was saying in a report and dreading leaving a QA marker for fear of "points"... I remember going to hunt down the doctors in the old days, sitting down to have conversations with them. They would help us fill in the blanks and mostly apologize for not speaking clearly (at least they did at the hospital where I ...

This is good.. - justpassingthru

Jenn tells it exactly like it is. Prospective MTs - should read this before wasting their $$.

This is a couple years old....but still the truth - And Nuance is even

Proof they have been getting away with it FAR to LONG... - Fight Back
