If you highlight a word and hit ctl W it give a definition

It used to be that you had to do Ctrl Shift T and then go into the box and uncheck yellow highlight if you wanted to temporarily do without it - I know there is a 1-key (or much shorter) new way to do that now but cannot remember what it is - does anyone know? ...

If we can put a man on the moon can we not get the highlighter back for the cursor location? I'm wasting so much time trying to find where I am when I'm researching a drug or something that takes me away from the text. This is a real handicap and costing me dearly! ...

I'm new to this - what does "go live" actually mean? Is it when it goes from strictly straight typing to VR? Or is it when an MTSO gets a brand new acct? Thanks! ...

Can someone provide me with a link to a legal definition of an independent contractor? I had taken a temporary job with a woman who had a small MTSO and was without a contract. She effectively bamboozled me but I did file a W9 with her. Any help will be appreciated. Feel free to email me with sensitive information if necessary. Thanks. ...

I work in the medical transcription industry. My employer is in TN. We are required to work 40 hours per week, and we are paid on the basis of lines of dictation we transcribe per day. Many days there is not enough work during a shift (a shift given us by our employer) to complete our 8 hours of work. This means that in order to comply with company request, we have to work 2 to 3 hours at night to complete our 40 hours, even though we have sat at our desks and continually check ...

would anyone out there happen to know how Keystrokes defines a work week? Does it start on Sun and go thru Sat or start on Mon and end Sun. (I have been offered a position and would be curious as to the above). Thanks!!! ...

I am looking for some clarification on the definition, as per the IRS website, of an "independent contractor." With the majority of companies now hiring MTs as IC's, does this definition apply ? "You are not an independent contractor if you perform services that can be controlled by an employer (what will be done and how it will be done). This applies even if you are given freedom of action. What matters is that the employer has the legal right to control the details of how the servi ...

Can someone define for me exactly what "straight transcription" is when a company advertises for it.... I am an IC looking for the best possible line rate. Thanks! ...

I get notices of major errors and don't see anything about what constitutes a major error. It sounds subjective to me! I'm more than fed up with this punitive grading system. ...

As I understand it, according to IRS definition of an IC, the IC cannot be tested. If this is so, how do the transcription companies get away with testing for IC positions as mentioned in their ads. Is this legal? ...

Independent Contractor Defined People such as doctors, dentists, veterinarians, lawyers, accountants, contractors, subcontractors, public stenographers, or auctioneers who are in an independent trade, business, or profession in which they offer their services to the general public are generally independent contractors. However, whether these people are independent contractors or employees depends on the facts in each case. The general rule is that an individu ...

I absolutely cannot even understand this part of the dictation to even try to break it up into something valid. It's under the physical examination, HEENT. "Pupils equal, round, and reactive to light and accommodation. Extraocular muscles were intact. (s/l ophthalmolotin powasting)." She goes into cardiac after this and clearly dictates that heading. ...

I thought I'd looked everywhere but obviously not. Where are the links to external resources, sister MT sites, etc? I'm sure I'll really feel stupid when you tell me. ...

ASR was doing better a little while back now it is way screwed up again...Which means they hired people that dont know what they are doing..They need to make it about a year or so on new hires before they go through the filter and screw it up..And you would think at the very least there would be a filter to keep misspelled words from printing out,,,Just my opinion ...

is it just me or is there someone else out there thinking that ASR has gone completely nuts! My usual 240 lph is down to about 160 lph with all the editing I have had to do tonight on my normally clearly-speaking dictators, i.e., Dictated: MRSA bacteremia ASR: Cataracts Dictated: ESRD, on ASR: Anterior, a If it didn't require so much editing it could ...

I just want to let everybody know there are other fields where we can put our skills to use. I responded to an ad asking for a transcriptionist and thinking it was medical I sent my resume of 20+ years MT and got hired . It turns out its a legal transcriptionist for workers comp lawyers. Right now I do 4 hours a day as they need me (as there is another transcriptionist there) and am making a lot more than medical transcriptionist. I'm hoping at some point they may offer full-time so I&# ...

I've had it. Today will be the first time I'm not going to be compliant with the "mandatory" OT. I just can't anymore. They mandate, then they run out and cancel the mandate. They give a few days without mandate and then we're back on mandate. I work a specific schedule for a reason. I do NOT appreciate being jerked around. Whether it's illegal or not, it is WHOLLY UNETHICAL. I'm not an on-demand worker. This 8-h ...

I work part time for 2 companies. One company usually has plenty of work. I love the work and the people and they are very flexible. I can usually get full time lines. The other company usually has no work and I really despise the work and the QA. I'm tired of the constant frantic emails stating how there is so much work only to go on and find there are less then 10 jobs. This company now wants us to be employees. I don't want to be t ...

This board is sometimes so disheartening. All of you new MTs, we are graduating from reputable schools, we are getting jobs and it is no different from any other occupation. Times change, rules change, technology changes, but if we are not set in our ways and our not willing to grow, things will disappear. We always blame everyone else, but maybe its time to look at the opportunities that do exist and concentrate on where we do want to be in 5 years or 10 years. Peop ...

How many Medical Transcriptionist right now feel like they are being discriminated against because of your lack of experience? Why are Medical Transcription companies only looking to hire experienced Medical Transcriptionist in a certain field? Don't they realize the resources that are out there now, that can give someone the opportunity to grow in this field. Right now there are so many people out of work and struggling to get a job and have little to no ...

After working for more than 30 years as a medical transcriptionist, having gone through so many changes in the field, I left it all behind a year ago. I worked the last ten years at home, the last few I was with MDI/Transcend. MDI was a great company, but it all fell apart when Transcend took over. Hope DF is sleeping well on her $16 million, I know many transcriptionists are not. I saw my pay dwindle down to almost nothing and my TL cherry-picking, which really cut my in ...

Can someone give any info on DSG? Right now, I only care about if there's ASR in a big way, or now/low work in a big way. Last ditch effort to stay in the business. Thanks! ...
