Anyone in their 60's (I'm 66) who is studying to become a coder? If I begin with Andrews, I will be probably 68 when I'm ready to apply for a job. Is this realistic, or should I save my money? Thanks. ...
Okay. I've been out of MT school for 40 years (seriously). That was when it was Secretarial School. Now the new testing on some sites SUCKS.. Instead of just having us transcribe in the objective - they have those idiot grammar questions. Well after all these years I find some of the things on that stupid. I have passed two and failed two. How can I have different results for different companies. Run on sentence, fragmented sentence - really - we type and edit (if allowed) as they d ...
I don't know any young people who are even slightly interested in MTing. Don't you think the companies have very little to choose from except old people to do MT anymore? ...
that it's harder to pull these lines?
Don't get me wrong, my speed has also been impacted by some of the changes that we've seen in the industry over the last few years, but I just don't have the energy, so to speak, that I had when I was younger to crank out lines in a high-producer range. It's so tiring to try to maintain a steady frenzied pace for eight hours. I'm not a machine. Just don't know what to do. I need the money, but I just can& ...
Okay, I have a question for those of you 55+ that have or are considering leaving the MT world. I have been considering it myself but I'm afraid at this age to go back to school for anything else. Already did that for MT and well everyone knows how that is going these days for most, so very scared to jump on that again along with the cost versus expectations of working, getting hired, and length of employment, etc. (Not to mention at this point my memory is terrible as wel ...
tremendous lag in upload and download. Not sure what to do. I am having Comcast out here and call MQ but so far no luck finding out what caused this. ...
More and more I find it difficult to not shed tears during a report of a baby being sick or of a spouse who is struggling and depressed after losing their loved one. Especially hard when the dictator has to pause to gain composure before continuing. ...
got new computer and uploaded express scribe but the new version seems to take FOREVER to load up my dss files. I miss my old version!!! Anyone know where I can find an older version to download?
Thanks!!! ...
Does anyone know of an older RA medication that s/l kolt? The only reason it was stopped is b/c there were newer medications available and I can't find anything, given that she sould be saying just about anything that starts with a "k" sound and has one syllable. Thanks! ...
I have an XP computer that I no longer use. I have a Vista I am currently using. The XP had gotten slow, was freezing up constantly, etc. On Vista, you can wipe the hard drive clean back to its condition when it was new, but I believe you have to have the CD to do this on XP. Does anyone have any suggestions of how I can start over with the XP if I don't have a CD to do it? I would like to get the computer hooked back up and have 2 computers. ...
I've read posts that suggest downloading older versions if the newest version causes trouble with files (which it is). Yesterday I tested with a really great company that I hope to work for. There were 4 test files on MTTest that I used Express Scribe 5.57 (newest version, free 14-day trial). One test made it through, but the other 3 did not. I did keep getting kicked out of the company's website after test dictation. Then I'd come back in and go thro ...
Mine got deleted after I had to get a complete reinstall. It's not on either of my flash drives, it's gone.
Does anyone have a copy of an older version with less complicated features and crap that I can get a copy from you, please?
This program is no longer truly free. You download the "free" version and in 14 days you are locked out of it unless you pay. You can't use "all the features" which simply means the foot pedal option does not work anymore.
This company d ...
All day long, there messages have not been coming up. Just the name of the forum, but no threads. I am hoping the mod will see this message and see what can be done. Thanks! ...
Need to know if the situation has improved at MTS? Would appreciate any elaboration by MTs who are there and making this company work for them.
Thank you - MT is Me ...
I don't even really work "for" these people and I get emails that are not only unprofessional but extremely rude. So after working for 12 years with this company we get a new QA and she thinks she can blast me because I've been in the hospital and didn't work for a week? Yes, I'm very mad. ...
Let's say you have worked for a company and you're happy. You're probably going to post positive things.
Let's say your co-worker got negative feedback from QA or even got fired. The messages that co-worker writes are going to be completely different from yours.
Which messages are right? ...
The messages stopped turning purple after I click on them. How can I get them to stay purple. I asked this the other day, and someone was kind enough to tell me to delete cookies, which I did, but the messages are still staying blue. I have Internet Explorer 9. Any other help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance! :o) ...
I just spent 3 hours on the phone to get rid of a virus I picked up on Facebook. My aunt had sent me an email to watch a video on YouTube, but when you go to it there is a message that you that you need to update Adobe. That is when it attacks. It sends you to different websites when you try to go to McAfee, Microsoft, etc. It is called Koobface. Be careful, I had it on both my desktop and laptop. ...
I posted twice on this board asking specific questions. Both were deleted. Why? I recieved no message from the moderator, so what's going on? Can anyone answer? ...
Messages are appearing on the main board for word help, questions about companies, and those looking for jobs. Messages are posted on the Job Seeker's board for questions about companies.
Is there that many new people on this board that haven't read the guidelines or checked the different boards out before posting or is everyone just in a hurry and decide to post wherever or whatever board they are on?
Sorry, people, but I'm in a bad mood today and when I go to t ...
I am curious to see if any other transcriptionist who works for Nuance have had problems with EOF/BOF error message at the end of completing a job to send through? ...
24 hours specifically checking the box notify me at the above email. I have checked on my posts and both received responses, however I never got a notification email. Is this a glitch? Just wanted you to know so you could check on it. ...
