Wow, What Happened? Lots of work

OK - I'm a straight typing transcriptionist who wants to explore VR - seems most people hate it - I'd like to try it and see. My company doesn't offer it. Are there any companies what have editing on Bayscribe currently? What is the best VR platform to work on and which is the worst? (Don't know the difference in any of them) Have heard of Speechmagic for Bayscribe (but who has it?) eScription and Exeditor at Transtech (? where else) and how's that? and ...

O.K. I have checked out the 3 schools that were recommended. Two of them require 45 wpm I am not that fast yet. How important is this? Approximately how much money can you earn in an 8 hr day doing office notes? When a company test you are they looking for a 45 wpm or better to hire you? Thank you grannieof1 ...

A job dribbles in here, a couple hours later a job dribbles in there. [Sigh!] A person can only file their nails for just so long ------ !! ...

I have noticed Accentus has been hiring pretty consistently, it seems, since maybe November. Anyone know what's up? MTs jumping ship or new accounts on the way? Just wondering, since they were bought out a year or so ago. I have been thinking of applying with them for a while but don't want to walk into the middle of a messy transition. Thanks in advance! ...

Really enjoy transcribing Ops, but Ops have dribbled to few and far between and mostly brief reports on my accounts. Whatever happened to all the detailed op notes I used to get. Bored to tears with H&P, DS, and consults. TIA. ...

I spend enormous amounts of time doing clervical work for free at the beginning of a report..looking up doctor names that are not on the lists we have been given, figuring out which is the date of admit, consult, etc. If everything was programmed in and we just had to download a report and transcribe, we would be making a lot more and if the speech recognition would stop putting words down that the doctors are not saying so that we do not have to clean it all up we would have more time to ...

I have been on this report for 2 days now. I have managed to figure most of it out but I am really lost on one paragraph. After she dictates all the information under Physical Examination she goes into another paragraph describing more of the patient's symptoms. Is there supposed to be heading before that paragraph? Also, below is a few sentences from that paragraph that I just cant make out. Any help would be great. Thanks again. Tone is normal no clog whealing. Degenerative reflexes ar ...

1. Under procedure, doctor dictates BMP collagen was used. It is ok to abbreviate BMP or does it need to be expanded? 2. She was transferred to the prone position ______ (s/l an aquired) frame? 3. We carefully exposed the subcutaneous tissue and we _______ (s/l sub crossed) the dissection off the level _______ (s/l synchreala) and the transfer processes of the L5, we exposed the spine. I know this is probably a mess. =( I am new at transcribing and really new at Op reports.&n ...

I have an interview with Transcend on Monday and have read conflicting stories on this board about whether or not Transcend MTs run out of work. Some you are saying you never run out; some say they hardly ever run out, and some say running out of work is a problem for them. What's the story on this? Also, how is the health insurance? Thanks for any info you have! ...

very rare that I get 100 straight typing lines a day, let alone 400 anybody else? ...

She uses lots of tampons and this is definitely a "claudiolise ssue" ?? ...

Mmodal is sorry they got rid of all those dreadfully horrible, worthless, and incompetent MTs who could not score 99.6% on an audit. The 20 or so who could are undoubtedly overwhelmed. Serves them right! ...

as they ramp up for summer. Having people off means we have to work harder and more OT because we've just been having such an easy time of it. Warnings and threatenings. All they know. Turn around times not being met? It's because we're so lazy. Hiring all the time? Still not enough staff; never enough staff. Cheery picking; never addressed. Rotten VR; never addressed. Never knowing what work, which doctors, or work types your're going to be doing anymore; never addressed. Co ...

I am glad to see that some kind of movement is finally happing regarding a decent minimum wage. But something else I'd like to say is that I read somewhere (not here, but on the Huffington Post or somewhere) that Chelsea Clinton said she "does not care about money." Then the article went on to say that she and her husband Mark just bought an apartment in New York City around Gramercy Park for 10.5 MILLION DOLLARS. Nice to not have to be able to care about money. We'd just l ...

Never use to see that many ads for them now they have one every single week. Are they that busy? Lots of new accounts or what? ...

Have you noticed more doctors are chewing and slurping while dictating lately? It just dawned on me today, probably some non-MT employees are treating the doctors to Christmas candy at their dictation stations. I used to see that a lot when I worked in hospitals. Ugh! ...

Don't want to bite off more than I can chew ...

This job is not worth the trouble. It certainly does nothing for me when I open the "paycheck" every 2 weeks and see that despite my 40 "power hours" every week, I made less than last time. No matter what, I cannot manage to make a decent living here any more. I am over it. Sad to admit, and yes, the shame is on me, but I do wish for NJA or even better, to be FIRED from this place. Just had to get this off my chest before I burst into flames of fury at the horrid qu ...

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 ...

I am curious to know if you got any responses to your emails. ...

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... ...

Transcend law suit? I haven't seen it mentioned recently and wondered if it was still going on or settled. Anyone know? ...
