Line rate of 5.5 for straight typing? You have to be kidding! Do they seriously think anyone is going to do straight typing for 5.5? Anyone who seriously considers working for Diskriter needs to do their research on how the company treats employees and their track record for dissatisfied former employees. Why jump on a sinking ship. ...

I just accepted a position, mostly because I want some stability. I've been an IC for 25 years but have found that in the last few years, I'm usually sending out resumes every 4 to 6 months because of no work or low work or MTSO lost account, etc. Most recently I signed on as an IC for a company who had taken a hospital's backlog, so I knew that one wouldn't last long. It lasted 3 months. Just before that job, I was working for an MTSO who sent an email to all ...

Anyone use a stability/balance ball as a chair while working? Would appreciate hearing any thoughts on whether you felt it helped you with posture, core muscles, balance, etc. ...

Taking a shot in the dark. If you are working directly for a doctor how did you get started? ...

It's good that the moderators are aware at how much they suck at their jobs. (See the post below.) But I'm genuinely curious about who owns this web site. Owner, are you a former or current MT? Do you live in the U.S. or a foregin country? Moderators, how about yourselves? Are you former or current MTs? Do you live in the U.S.? If you're not willing to answer these questions, why is that? Why not admit you're not MTs? Wh ...

Good morning. I own my own transcription service and would now like to take on a subcontractor to help me as business is good! I charge my clients .15 cents a line, so what do I pay the sub per line? How much is a reasonable amount to make on all the work? Thanks! ...

I am thinking of getting a Kindle. I would like to hear opinions of Kindle owners before I make the purchase and I also have a few questions. 1. Do you have to buy books just from the Amazon site or are there other sites that you can get e-books from? 2. What other features does the Kindle have or can you just read books/papers/magazines on it? I am not sure I am ready to give up my books for an e-reader. Any other input would b ...

If you own your own business, do you 1099 your transcriptionists or do you W2 them? Starting a business up and not sure which way to go? ...

Is there enough work at Diskriter most of the time or feast or famine like other companies? ...

I must be way off because I can't find it in my books either. Thanks for any help. DDH of the left hip. Examination of her hips today showed _____, Ortolani, and Barlow tests are negative. Hips are quite stable. ...

MD-IT keeps repeating this same ad out of the Boulder, CO, regional office. But I understand they have had qualified people apply for this job the regional managers pass them up. I also heard that MTs tried this account, decided it was too horrible to make any money, and decided not to work for this company on this account. Anyone else have any valid information? ...

Well, all the rumors are starting to come to pass with dear SGS (Superior Global Solutions). I "WAS" in QA until yesterday. They either fired or demoted 7 of us so far to MT status. Not saying being an MT is a demotion, but for the sake of telling you about SGS and my experiences with them, we shall call it a demotion. Back a few months ago they made SURE everyone had signed an "At Will" employment form so they would have all their ducks in a row when all this started to ...

Wondering what it's like there. Benefits, work flow? Thanks ...

on another board and wondered if they got their stuff together after purchasing Medware? TIA for any and all information! ...

Is anyone using the latest DQS update? I think it's 6.1version. I've already gone through the training on it but haven't heard when it's going to be started. Thanks ...

The latest on Inscribe anyone? I am still searching the archives, but anyone who has info please contact. ...

What is the latest on Transportal? Do they do a lot of VR, IC and plenty of work? Thanks for your input. ...

My interpretation to the last V-mail is that we are going to get a cut in pay to match the Indians. Yep. What do you think? I forget the exact wording, something about uniform salaries across the board. ...

Seems MTKing who posts here about how she just LOVES LOVES LOVES TTD sucked up enough to get promoted to Lead QA. NOT a surprise. Folks, take heed, some 50 people have gotten cut from TTD in THIS YEAR alone and it's only just now June. Many are owed money. The owner sends intimidating emails. The company offers NO training. They also do not provide any feedback. Read posts further down and in the archives. Nothing good can come from working for The Transcription Doc ...

How many times, I mean how many, really, must we stack the subheading to the left, capitalize it, put a colon after it, and remove the word "is" before this stupid speech engine figures out that's how it's supposed to do it, not all in one paragraph? I mean, it's a client specific, and I am pretty everyone is doing it this way, every time, so don't tell me this is the MTs fault. ...

I just switched browsers to Mozilla Firefox, as I was having trouble seeing the posts at all.....Does anyone else use Firefox and read the board just fine? I hope I don't have to switch browers again. ...

from what areas? SA4/South CCM is the same, but one regional director was changed from a guy to a woman I'm not familiar with. ...

Looks like another recruiter - that same ad was on another MT job site in the last month....wonder if they charge to submit your application also. ...

If it is true that our MT corporations are profiting with VR the same as if we were transcribing, well to me that's picking my pocket......So then why isn't AAMT (or whatever) going to bat for us 'editors' and set standards so that companies will pay us our fair share? Just a thought. Wouldn't it be nice if we were told by our companies that from here on in, VR will pay as much as transcribing? pipe dreams huh? ...

I like a-fib, since I don't see a logical reason to capitalize the "A", but maybe there shouldn't be a hyphen? ...

Wow, did everyone get the email sent at 5:05 this evening, which was 6:05 my time. A lot of BS sprinkled with "we love yous" and "by the way, you aren't getting paid until Friday" and "Its all the office manager's fault because I don't take responsibility for my own actions" love note. "We are in a steady growth mode" and "we had to change pay dates because we can't get our stuff together enough to do invoices on time" and "we are super and you are lucky to w ...
