What happened with that contest? - Shipwrecked
Posted: Oct 27, 2010
Remember the contest they were running when we downloaded 6.1? The one with the flat screen TVs? I might have missed something, but did anybody win?
Don't have a clue...sm - mb

But I bet the suits are hoping we all forget about it!
Prizes did not go to the MTs. - moim2huskies

More than likely all the prizes went to the suits like everything else does. We get the cut in benefits, pay, and all the layoffs.
There probably were never prizes - NJA Queen

It was a trick to get everyone to update, knowing full well there would be glitches and problems. Treat for MQ and trick for the MTs. Boo! Plus, don't forget the TVs were probably not going to be new anyway, just some dusty leftovers from when MQ and Phillips were buddies and probably not compatible with the new digital signals anyway. Hey I would rather have nothing than some stupid mousepad or chapstick.
well, I was looking forward to the chance - it sucks

I do feel let down. Not that anyone cares.
Pressure was on BIG TIME for us to upgrade 6.1 by Sunday so we would be entered in the contest, with winners notified 9/6. Nothing has come through. Nice. This place sucks. ...
Anybody see the email about the new contest? Hurry hurry hurry, upgrade to 6.1 soon, and you too can have the chance to pay taxes on a prize and tell everyone how wunnerful wunnerful the new upgrade is. ...
We will be asked to write a song about the new upgrade.
Lots of fun
With six point one!
The upgrade just makes sense
To boost our confidence
In our company who cares
About those who own the shares.

OH MY GOD! The Q is having an essay contest about what is wonderful about FTR. I just picked myself up off the floor because I was and still am laughing hysterically. Nothing surprises me any more at the Q... nothing!!! ...
That we are not typists. This is something MTSOs need to realize. There is a skill set required here that goes beyond being a typist and speech recognition technology.
That these are LEGAL documents and that the mistakes that go through all the time could be an issue because companies AND transcriptionists are being allowed to be brought to trial over errors in several states now.
That we realize as soon as a machine can replace us, we'll be gone.
That it makes me laugh that I re ...
Anybody else having trouble submitting the fiirst section? Hit submit button and it will not take. The other section (s) worked fine.
Very strange. ...
So to those of you who said don't enter....you were foolish...you could have gotten a $50 gift card...
Medquist is doing what it should be doing....providing quality to the facilities and the patients that we transcribe for!
My thoughts...
Benchmark KB is great....everything is at your fingertips now........
Google isn't always right.....remember that.....

There is a drawing for prizes if you upgrade the DocQscribe 6.1 by midnight and I watched all the presentations and have been sending emails for 2 days to my CCM to get instructions on how to upgrade and she won't answer my emails and if I don't upgrade by midnight I won't be entered for the prizes. I'm so mad now. How do I make her answer me. What can I do? ...
We need a new contest for download disastors. I win. My computer wouldn't accept the download. Support tried to fix it for a week, then sent a new MQ computer. When it arrived, I was on my way to the door to get it. Our German shepherd got excited and up ended me. I laid there with a nicely fractured hip. Fed Ex handed me the plate to sign through the door and I waited quietly for the ambulance. I am now on short term disability. ...
that was promised for 08/28/2010?
This was by far the most unfair contest yet. It was spread over all platforms, all work types, and there is no way someone on BeyondBelief can compete in production with someone on Escription. I hope they think future contests out a little bit better so everyone can have a chance to win rather than just the chosen few. ...
I just wondered...has anyone ever made a mistake on a report (which was your fault and you readily admit you screwed up) and get an email stating: please explain why you made that mistake because the client is waiting for an explanation??!!! WTH? Yes, I purposely made that error because I wanted too? I enjoy making critical errors?
My error was most likely a keystroke error that I failed to catch..I admit it. I try to be as careful as possible but I am human. ...
I started my bartending class yesterday.. first time I have done anything outside the house in 7 years.
I was terrified. I don't think I really realized how isolating and stressful working for the Q at home really was. I had almost forgotten what it was like to interact with real people, doing something that was real and down to earth.
But I had a wonderful time, terrified though I was. I still feel like I've been totally reborn, and I am so relieved to be out of th ...
I just to recently switched to a whole new region, supervisor and QA supervisor with 3 days notice because of ONE particular account I transcribe on. I had been typing the previous accounts for over 5 years. Since the switch two weeks ago, I have now TEN new accounts that I type for with all new CP's, set-ups and dictators; however, I have noted AT ALL the account for which I had previously typed which was the reason I was transferred in the first place!! Furthermore, there& ...
DocQScribe froze trying to download next report. Tried to check Q E-mail while I was waiting and it is "not available." Am I the last to know something? ...
Occasionally when I'm doing an ASR report and insert a QA marker the yellow cursor marker will go away and the cursor goes to the end of the report. Then I have to scroll back through the report to find my place and if I lift my foot off the foot pedal it happens again. Does anyone know how to fix this? It's irritating on a really long report. TIA. ...
(I am not a "suit." :-) )
I would like to know from some of you what is the going rate now (really) for lines per hour or hourly pay and if there are even steady hours anymore. I just can't believe that this "profession" has gone downhill so much and downhill so quickly in even the last 5 years. I wonder what the next 5 years will look like or if there will even be MTs? If anyone has left the "profession" because they just can't make a living doing this anymore, what are you doing n ...
that was just on there earlier and now it's gone? I was going to send an email, came back to get the address and the posting is gone. Must have hired someone already? ...
When I signed on this morning, I pulled down 3 reports. I did the first one and went back to find just one left. What happened to the other report? Please let me know if you know. Thanks ...
to DF with MDI? Is she still there somewhere on board with Nuance. Wonder what she thinks about all of this, not that it really matters at this point, just curious... ...
