There's real joy in transcribing a speed-dictator who can actually speed dictate well!  When he's speed-dictating, not stumbling, not mumbling, it's just wonderful!  It's a nice break from the mumblers and bumblers.

These days I dread - getting any actual

One of my doctors tends to put off all of his dictation for months. I don't know how he gets away with it, but he does. Right before July 4, he was getting ready to go out of the country for two weeks and he was getting caught up. When he's that far behind, his reports are short and sweet (and generally worthless, but that's another story) and he says the same thing and doesn't vary his template by much. I had a run of about 3 hours of work from this guy and he was so repetitive I just made changes to my template and for those three hours I think I made $50 an hour. Seriously. I was getting 650 lines an hour and it was straight typing. It hasn't ever happened again, but I was praying hard for safe travels for him and for him to come back to me safely. ;)

Strange That TTS Always Has A Real Positive Post When An Ad

Strange how wonderful a service becomes once they are looking for recruits.  May not be, but sometimes one smells a rat.  Could be legit, but just have to keep up your guard and not be blindsighted.  The 4 cpl also is a rah, rah, because I was told 3.5 cpl and 7.5 cpl and then the poster said she was sooooo happy and nobody bothers her and she also has money for healthcare.  Let's let Toto pull the curtain.  ...

Something Positive To Say
Mar 27, 2010

I get on this site every now and then and it is so disheartening to see so many people frustrated with their employers.  I work for two different companies and I have to say I love them both.  I work for OSi and I work for All Type.  Both treat me fairly, respond rapidly to questions and are nice employers.  I've always been paid on time, they both understand emergencies and I make a good income from each.  There are good companies and there are nice people to work ...


TTD- Anything Positive On Them?
May 23, 2012

Hi, I am new to this board, but have been searching jobs here.  I applied to TTD and received new-hire package.  I have been looking here at all the negative comments about them before actually figuring out what I want to do with them.  My question is, are there any positive comments about them at all?  I may have an opportunity later this summer at a job locally and have a job currently, but not sure if I want to hop into this if they don't pay.  I don't want ...

Anything Positive?
Dec 31, 2012

I'm currently a student with a nearing graduation date. I'm getting quite discouraged lately because from what I have been researching and finding on forums is that basically there is not enough work out there to make ends meet. I've seen alot of negative posts from current MTs and it makes me nervous since I have yet to graduate. Is there anything positive out there for a student like me to look forward to?? ...


Something Positive

I just wanted to mention something positive about MT, my experience.  There are a lot of negatives posted about the MT field on this board, and I'm not discounting anybody's experience, as, yes, there have been changes in this field, and some of those changes have hit people hard and are not fair.  I just wanted to give encouragement to people who like MT that there are some positive things/companies still going on.  I have 7 years of experience.  I graduated from C ...


Some Positive Words, Please!
Dec 30, 2009

Man, I can see the changes in the transcription industry (admittedly negative changes) have really gotten us down and we're stuck in a mire of complaints, bad feelings and feeling tired and fed up!  I feel the same way, and I feel that greed and the economy are to blame.  But sometimes you just need to hear a positive word to make it through the day, or through the week.  Here is mine - I am thankful that I do not have to spend money on work clothes and ga ...

Not everyone is unhappy with MT work right now.  Lots of times this board is filled with much negativity and I think it is a disservice to each other.  Sometimes we need to vent, but sure would like to see people with more positive things that are happening in their life post on here, and not just read on here.  I think it is unfair to dissuade newcomers to the profession.  Give them an accurate vision of what it is like, both pros and cons.  But, I think it's wron ...

I know it's rare for this board if, heaven forbid, anybody put anything positive on here. I've complained on here just like everyone else about low pay, low work, etc., but the bottom line for me is: I love the company I work for and have a great supervisor; they let me know from time to time that I am appreciated and let me know I was missed when I am gone (on vacation or whatever); they do their best to make sure I have enough work; they do thoughtful things, such as send birthday ...

Trying To Stay Positive Looking For Job
