Can't believe with all the digital technology - available today,
Posted: Nov 09, 2010
our sound quality is so poor most of the time. You ought to be able to hear clear as a bell, but I think it is worse than in the olden days. Sounds like everybody is across the ocean, talking between two tin cans.
It's because instead of holding the mic to their mouth - snicker
[ In Reply To ..]it is apparently inserted into some other orifice.
Their head or their microphone? - lol... nm

Diagree - Terrible audio
[ In Reply To ..]Although some do not handle or use the microphone properly, it is definitely more than that. There is such crackling and fading in and out, etc. There is a lot more going on than the position of the microphone.
OK ladies -- I chuckled out loud. Been a long time. - anon
[ In Reply To ..]Funny about the mic in the orifice. Then the visual of the head or mic in the orifice make me really snicker!!! Thanks. . . . .
technology - nan
[ In Reply To ..]Personally, I think technology has advanced so much that it is getting worse and we are being told it is better. Frankly, I hate digital TV. I get checkerboards on my screen all the time. Cell phones are horrible to listen to. I just think in general technology is getting worse. I'll stick with my landline and wish I could go back to analog. They just can't leave well enough alone.

I recently accepted a position at a local hospital after nearly 9 years at my current job (long story, involves outsourcing, blah, blah, blah). My new position wil be VR editing and this is a first for me. The platform being used is Ex Editor. If there is anyone out there with experience wtih this platform and can offer some insight/advice, I'd appreciate it. I've been working with ExText at my current job so I think the very basics will be close but as I said I'm new to editing s ...

Anyone Work At CPR Technology???
Mar 02, 2012
I know they are based in my state of California. I tried to apply with them when I first started working on-line. At the time they did not want a newbie, though I did have about 25 years of experience at that time. Of course they were right about me being newbie to on-line transcribing. Now it makes me laugh. ...

So, I Started Thinking About How They Want To Use The Technology
Aug 31, 2012
The people who programmed, designed, whatever, Editscript have added nice little features, like the red box, and the speeding up dictation feature when the dictator says nothing. So, I started thinking about the red box and other features. I decided I would not check the box that slows down the silent parts of the dictation. Well, guess what? It sped me up editing-wise like crazy and I can hear when the dictation blips and, if need be, I can rewind for a couple of seconds and c ...

After 17 years of working for a local clinic and building relationships and making their work my top priority, the most recent 'upgrade' to their system left me without work or income. They never even contacted me. One day I logged on like normal and didn't find any work on the work list. I waited a couple of hours and checked again - nothing. I contacted the IT guy who just matter-of-factly told me that their newest upgrade over the previous weekend made it impossible for me to r ...

For those unaware, medical transcriptionists (sometimes referred to as medical language specialists) are responsible for producing patients' medical records. Listening th ...

Hi folks - Well, astonishingly enough, I just got hired as a brand new MT at a private facility, with a pretty good salary & full benefits. I was just certified last year, and all I had was a strong letter of recommendation from the Director of Medical Assisting at the JC I attended, my externship experience (online with ZyloMed) and the 4.0 GPA on my transcript. No paid work experience. You could've knocked me over with a feather! I really can't belie ...
