It things are so terrible at MModal how do they have thousands of US transcriptions - Happy with M Modal
Posted: Jun 01, 2013
Surely everyone can't be unhappy, right?
Everybody is not unhappy. Just the ones that cant - cut it. nm

Right, because the hundreds of TSMs and accounts and regions - are all exactly the same.
[ In Reply To ..]not
Who said they were? WHat diff does it make anyway? Can - either do the work or not.nm
[ In Reply To ..]x
agreed 100% - Mmodal has high standards, if you do not fit adios
[ In Reply To ..]x
agreed...ONLY UNHAPPY ARE THOSE THAT CAN'T CUT IT!!! - New
[ In Reply To ..]What an arrogant thing to post. So attitude and emotions play a part in if we can cut it or not?!!! That statement defies logic.
kinda hard to cut it on minimum wage - but whatever you say nm
[ In Reply To ..]sick of arguing. I told you this would be a long day.
Who can change that? Can I change it for you? Will - MM change it? Who can change that? nm
[ In Reply To ..]x
Who can change that? - Change
[ In Reply To ..]No one is asking you for anything. Don't take things personal.
Just making point that poster is the only one that can change her - situation, Not me and MM wont. nm
[ In Reply To ..]x
Just making - Not me
[ In Reply To ..]No answer needed. Mind your own business.
here's what I couldn't "cut" - SM
[ In Reply To ..]One account after another being taken away, sent to India of course; every day waiting for work, and then when it comes in it's the bottom of the garbage can with audio so horrible you pick up about three words per sentence, with the impossibily of hearing critical dictation like medictions, doseages, etc.; a paycheck that was not even half of what I made before. Yep. . you're right. I didn't devote 30 years of my life to transcription to "cut" that.
One bad acct is same as another. What matter one - disappears and another shows SM
[ In Reply To ..]up? As far as garbage reports, you either have an ear for it or you dont, can either do the work or you cant.
MT is changing and you have to change with it. Better get used to garbage reports cause that is our job now. Some of us can cut it, some cant. C'est la vie.
you are responsible for your own happiness. If you stay and are unhappy you have no one to blame - but yourself
[ In Reply To ..]still happy here.
I posted *one bad acct* I am happy. I enjoy the challenge - of making MT work for me. nm
[ In Reply To ..]x
I was agreeing with you :) - happy MT
[ In Reply To ..]sorry for the confusion!
First of all... - me
[ In Reply To ..]All MTSOs are the same, so leaving MM and going somewhere else is like jumping from the frying pan into the fire. Do you think it's easy for some of us to change professions now? I am 60 years old and have been doing this job for over 30 years. I'm sure people are just tripping over themselves trying to hire someone 60 years old with carpal tunnel and a stiff neck. I can't even be a Wal-Mart greeter because I can't stand for too long because I get a backache. So much for changing jobs now.
argue for your limitations and they are yours - n/m
[ In Reply To ..]x
argue - limitations
[ In Reply To ..]Argue for your limiations and they are yours-n/m. In other words, your problems are your own problems.
There is going to come a day n/m when your body and mind (seems as if it already has from your response to First of all) are going to give out on you, too, either by an accident, age, or illness, so you will just have to deal with that cause no one is going to give a hoot about you with your attitude.
responsible.....NO!!! With YOUR LOGIC..... - New
[ In Reply To ..]no one in history would have tried to change things for the better. We never would have broken away from brutal Britain and formed this great country. I can go on and on.....It was/is that very productive, sometimes necessary feeling of "unhappiness" that drove/drive people to seek better conditions and change things.
You misinterpret Happiness post. Poster said if you are unhappy - you are responsible for that Sm
[ In Reply To ..]and change things that make you unhappy. Change your job, change the country, whatever. She did not say you shouldnt be unhappy, she said to change what makes you unhappy. I really think you and that poster are on the same page.
That's what she said. Geez. - nm
[ In Reply To ..]nm
Wrong - SM
[ In Reply To ..]Who said anything about one bad one replacing the other? It should have been obvious I was referring to good accounts being replaced with bad ones. No one can pick up dictation that can't be heard. No one.
I cut it just fine, but my earnings are pretty much dependent on IT's ASR. - dnr
[ In Reply To ..]I am on about 98% ASR. The amount of lines I can do per hour depends on how good the ASR is, and it isn't good at all. I have to correct 75% of the document in addition to format every document according to whatever ridiculous demands in the CP for the multitude of accounts I receive during a shift.
There are some people doing okay to well. They have accounts with ASR of the quality we were promised. Some have accounts with a lot of report standards requiring only filling in a field here and there, if that. I was lucky enough to get a few reports like that last night, but they were outside my usual accounts, so I get to see how the "other half lives". I am so jealous of those who get that account as their primary account.
All is not equal in this company and, due to ASR quality and the presence or absence of standard text templates, some MTs are doing very well at MM, but, from what I see, not many of us are doing well as documented by the lph average of 186 according to Amy.
186 x 0.04 - do the math
[ In Reply To ..]and I didn't come up with that figure, Amy did. She apparently thinks that's "cutting it" as they say.
You assume happy MTs only do the minimum?? I would - imagine *less than* MT does minimum. sm
[ In Reply To ..]Princess Amy's figures geared to the lower denominator.
oh, and the ones who have no work - they might be unhappy
[ In Reply To ..]but everyone else is thrilled to bits.
Am sure they are unhappy but only they can stop themselves - from being happy. I cant, you SM
[ In Reply To ..]cant. Even happy MTs know there are many that are not and we agree that is horrible. But only unhappy MT can change that. You can imagine your life is horrible and everybody has it out for you and nobody is fair with you and nobody care if you can pay your bills. Or you can do something to change all that.
Well, yeah, nobody at MM cares if you can pay your bills but why would you think they would care? They are a business, in it for money. If this is a concept you cannot tolerate, this probably isnt the best job for you.
I just cant imagine living my life in such a dark state of mind. That doesnt make me perfect. It means I just know how I want to live my life and looking for the worse of everything is not how I want to spend my time.
Only they can stop themselve from being UNhappy, but guess - the post as originally made is true also. nm
[ In Reply To ..]x
so they are choosing to be unhappy - because they have no work?
[ In Reply To ..]isn't that kind of like choosing to be unhappy because your husband is cheating on you?
They are choosing to be unhappy if they are doing nothing - to change that. Must not be too unhappy. nm
[ In Reply To ..]x
I just don't think it's that much to ask - that a company who hired them
[ In Reply To ..]hired them and pays them on production provides them with work. Maybe not on the schedule they prefer or the accounts they are used to but somewhere and somehow. There are people who have gone weeks without work.
Agree MM should always have work, but they dont. And if NJA - is intolerable, only U can change situation nm
[ In Reply To ..]x
No they could change the situation - its called workflow
[ In Reply To ..]the people who handle the work flow are supposed to analyze the situation, move people if necessary. Some areas have too much work, some not enough. Or they could stop hiring more people and use the people they have. They hire people, they need to give them work. They can't give them work, they need to let them go. End of discussion.
MM is what it is. If that doesnt work for you, only you can - change it. And MM, I am sure, would SM
[ In Reply To ..]be happy to see MTs leave as opposed to having to pay MU pay. It is not like MM is forcing anybody to stay that has NJA.
but they can't bring themselves to do the right thing - and pay unemployment
[ In Reply To ..]I was totally shocked that they laid off the few that they did, they've been so unwilling to pay unemployment. We've established that MModal is America's greatest employer; they should start acting like it.
They are doing business. Not here to coddle MT, worry about MT - Here to make money for SM
[ In Reply To ..]shareholders, period. If any think MM is going to change their practices for the sake of MT welfare, I have a bridge to sell. THis is how it is. Either make it work, or go somewhere else.
Telling us what we already know is not going to help anybody
Here's a - survey
[ In Reply To ..]how long have you been an MT? How long have you worked for MM? Please list the things that make you happiest about working at MM.
Maybe this tired, bitter, broke, aching hands, computer chained, 60 yo soon to be ex-MT desperately looking for other jobs so as to avoid eating cat food in her old age needs to be reminded just how good she's got it!
survey - LOVE IT! nm - hound
[ In Reply To ..]x
Could not have said it better myself - me
[ In Reply To ..]After 30+ years and now bringing home in 2 weeks what I used to make in 2 days, someone please remind me how good I have it also.
oh boy - its going to be a long day nm
[ In Reply To ..]nm
If things are so terrible in Bangladesh - old and burned out
[ In Reply To ..]how come they have so many workers?
Because THERE'S A SUCKER BORN EVERY MINUTE. - That"s why.

Terrible Audio
Aug 18, 2013
I have been having exceptionally bad audio lately from normally good dictators and wonder why. Could this be another cost cutting measure somehow, or maybe they okayed docs to dictate under water or in their car or wherever on old crappy cell phones or something? It's bad enough to have to face the daily FIESA attack, but to take double the time to get through a report because of horrific audio is just the icing on the cake. Anybody else find this? Frustrating when you are trying to speed ...

BeyondTXT Platform TERRIBLE
Oct 17, 2012
I felt that I had to let MTs know some information about the BeyondTXT platform.... I have been an acute care MT for 30 years and I recently went with Transcend/Nuance using the above platform. For example, compared to some other programs like DocuMed, Dictaphone, etc., it is absolutely the worst and most unfriendly program I have ever trained or worked on. It is not all-in-one area. Your work pool is in one area and the document is in another, plus the demographic screens are all over t ...

You kept track of times when you ran out of work. You submitted your webclock hours with information that reflected when you were out of work ...

Certainly not the MTs, but we are getting blamed and now asked to work OT with no shifts available to pick up. This lockdown was supposed to be the answer to MQ prayers- watch me while I do an "I tol ...
Doctors With Terrible Dictating Habits
Aug 01, 2012
I have noticed in my years as a transcriptionist the horrible sound effects I hear from some doctors. I just now transcribed a doctor who throughout the entire dictation must have coughed and loudly cleared his throat 20 times. I had another one who used to burp, chew food and yawn; dictating the entire time without pausing. AND believe it or not, I had a doctor FALL ASLEEP while dictating, no joke. I find this so rude it is not even funny. Not to mention the doctor ...
