are you redictating and editing your own dictations? - sm

if you do, tell me if your production is higher!

My guys (past and present) have used - Olympus and Sony

One guy complained loudly that the buttons on the Olympus recorder his office manager bought him were waaaay too tiny for his great big beefy fingers.... When my last working tape machine quit working and I refused to buy another one, I MADE him switch to the digital recorder--and guess what. He can push those itty bitty little buttons JUST FINE. :)

Thanks for the input! - Abby

I have heard Olympus and Sony are good, as well as Sanyo. I appreciate the comment!
Thanks,
Abby

My docs use Olympus... - Olympus

DS2400 is what they use right now.

One Doc had a complaint about the slide control on the side, and one just recently went to the 5000 I think. Haven't heard anything negative yet.

Voice Recognition - Is Anybody Making Any Money At All On Voice?
Jan 12, 2013

I was wondering, is anybody making any money at all on voice?  I keep hearing just minimum or maybe a little more.  I call minimum wage 7.50 to 8.00 an hour.  My experience with it was at one point I was told that I hadn't made enough for minimum and they had to do make-up pay.  So how is everybody's experience with voice?  I run from it, and I just want to know if anybody really can make an money? Thanks. ...

I think whatever upgrade they did yesterday morning just sucked more accounts to our ILPs. ...
