I started to apply at M*Modal then realized it was MQ. I escaped from there 2 yrs ago.nm

I believe M Modal is the only place hiring part time that will allow satellite. I'm tired of hearing, "No, satellite is not compatible." Sooo.... Anyone have any advice? I will probably take the testing this weekend while I'm off. One good thing about M Modal is I don't think there is any worry of them being bought out by anyone... ...

I can't seem to get used to this platform. I can't imagine how I'm going to make my daily line requirement, let alone ever get very fast on it. Any tips from the experienced users of M*Modal? ...

When the hospital I worked for in-house told me they were going with mm and there was a position with mm if I wanted it, they said at least I'd be guaranteed work. I sure needed that laugh today. <--laughing so hard I'm crying! ...

I really do not like being a negative person, but just tonight I realized how this profession has changed me. I used to be a happy, upbeat person and now I find myself becoming fatigued, negative and bitter. It's like being in an unhappy marriage :( I have no faith in companies doing the right thing anymore or treating people like they are people and rewarding people who are conscienous about their job with raises. I don't like giving this profession this ...

30 years ago today. I had my own office and my own set of doctors. Everyone was so kind and helpful that day. Fast forward 30 years and I feel like a total failure, making probably about as much as I did that day. All of my non-MT friends have retired and have lake property. Wow, I sure made a wrong turn! ...

I was just chatting with someone about transcription and ASR (it's been about 3 months since we switched) and it came to me what my biggest problem with it is. We have no control over it. With regular transcription, we are only limited by the quality of the dictation the sound. The harder we work at perfecting our typing skills and our system of word expansions, etc., the faster we can work. I spent 3 years getting to where there are very few words longer then 4 lett ...

My mind can wander and zone out because it's like listening to somebody read you the same story all day long! When I actually had to think while typing--how to minimize my keystrokes for maximum output--it kept me more alert and "tuned in." ...

Just the other day I was given better access to Fluency Manager. I used to only see US work in my region. Now, I can see it all. Anyway, I saw a stat job in the backlog that was almost going late and with the low amount of work, it really should have been typed by then. Out of curiosity, I checked the Job Audit on it through manager. This job was discarded a total of 6 times by 3 different MTs. Two of them did it once, and one did it 4 times. These were ...

We might as well laugh instead of crying as we send out our resume ...

I've been coming here for years. For many years it was only the poorly trained MTs who complained about not doing well. Anyone who had good training and good skills, sometimes learned on the job, which isn't practical now, but good skills at any rate, did well. The times have changed. While I used to categorize the complainers as neer-do-wells because they lacked ambition, accuracy, and training, that just isn't the case anymore. The employers have beat MTs down so that they can ...

My lph doing ASR is the same as my lph for straight typing!! - I'm not a fast typist anymore - hands a bit stiff at my old age. I've tried everything, including only using the keyboard and no mouse. Just too much stopping and starting - at least 3 times a line. And if it's a correction, extra time needed to highlight and type over. It felt so good to get a couple typing jobs as I had some continuity going - none of this herky jerky of stop-start-stop....... I've got my res ...

I thought they were 2 different services. Everyone is buying out everyone, so who knows. All the small companies have been merged I guess. I thought Nuance was out of New York and were the primary with VR. Maybe one has to keep up with the changes and be a member and pay the dues and go to the meetings with AAMT and be a CMT to keep up with the changes, even though you still get 4 cents. ...

TIA for your help. ...

I applied to RI Unlimited 3 months ago and never heard back--should I reapply? I got emails saying that I passed everything and then they said I would hear back but never did. What is your advice? Thanks. ...

I'm interested in applying for the MTS job posted, but I can't find a place on their web site to send a resume. What am I missing? I called the 800 number and it just had a menu for unrelated departments. ...

I just got an e-mail from a recruiter from Nuance asking me if I would like to apply for a job; i.e. they took over my former place of employment's transcription department and I had originally applied so I could stay on, but then decided not to-thus they still had my contact info. The recruiter said that they had merged with Transcend and that there was plenty of work, etc. I do need a job as my unemployment benefits will be running out by the beginning of the new year, or sooner if phas ...

How do I apply for work at MQ? ...

Trying to apply at the Mmodal website but MT doesn't come up as an open job. Are they still under a hiring freeze? ...

I have been looking for a MT job since April when I finished my course training with MTatHome out of Texas. I apply for spots that areposted as open but then get email back saying that they have no openings. I have been in the Medical profession for 6 years as a CNA and I am getting ready for nursing school in the Fall of 2010. I am just wanting to know what it will take to get my foot in the door in the MT field and get a job. If anyone has any suggestion or can help me ...

I just finished my FIRST shift and when I checked my line count I was shocked. Twice as much as I can do with MQ. There is something seriously wrong at MQ. At my new job, my CPL is a little less than MQ but not much. ...

hello-i am considering a change in jobs due to being terminated in may. i am interested in becomng an MT, but now you guys got me thinking twice about my decision. I know there are two sides to everyones story. I'm not looking into making big bucks, at least what i was making at my last job, $25K. Any suggestions on the best school? I understand schools are going to say that the MT field is growing, but those of you that have been out there awhile, is it realll ...

Hello everyone! I just found this forum. I currently work part-time as a legal virtual assistant. My background is in personal injury law and would like to get my feet wet and start medical and legal transcribing. Would anyone be so kind as to advise how I start. I already hold a B.A. in political science and do not think I need to go through a AA program. Bottom line, I am confused and don't know where to begin. Please help! Thank you! ...

I am looking to get started as a transcriptionist. What do I need to know? I have an associates degree (Liberal Arts). I can type pretty fast, and am pretty good at spelling. I am looking for advice on where I should start, or how to start being a transcriptionst. Thank you in advance for your information and advice. Dawn ...

I am a stay at home mom and I would like to get into MT. I am having a hard time sorting through the abundance of information out there. I have found programs that range from$400 to $5000. Can anyone give me advise about how to properly get schooling and procure a career? Thanks! ...

Who can answer my questions? 1. When is a better time to apply to companies: Beginning of December 2009 or beginning of January 2010 ? 2. What VR platform/software does Focus use? Is their transcription test timed? 3. What VR platform/software does Medquist use? TIA ...

Just want to be sure my fellow MTs are well informed. If you apply at Teletrak, be prepared to be offered 8 cpl for 65 VBC line - this amounts to approximately 30% reduction in pay with the negative spaces. I used several old reports and figured line counts all ways and it was almost 30% less each time with VBC. I was told by the recruiter, "You'll probably have to work a few extra hours a day to make what you're used to, but in order to keep the client in a long-term ...

Never heard of such a thing! If this company does any outsourcing I hope the outsourced transcriptions also have to undergo this. This is totally absurd! ...

I would totally be leery of this job. They are liars and cheats and are always wanting you to work your days off and over, but pay you NO OVERTIME!! THIS COMPANY SUCKS AND DOES NOT GIVE A RATS BEHIND ABOUT THEIR EMPLOYEES. I have worked there 4 years and never got a raise, much less any respect for the 21 years I have worked as an MT. They have no respect for their employees. I WOULD NOT WORK FOR THIS COMPANY. THE REVIEWS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES......... ...
