Well believe it or not, I do think there are worse companies to work for -- M*Modal, TTS, Transcription Doctors. You have to face the facts that our industry is just never going to be like it was even 10 years ago. I trained way back in 1978 when my daughter was born. I have more or less worked continuously since that time. I made really good money up until 1998. Then we started seeing the change. It was gradual at first, but slowly our wages started to go downwards. Of course we wll know what happened next. I hope for your sakes you all find a different career go back to school, either college or trade school of some kind. Just learn something different that will pay you a decent wage to support yourself and not have to beg or humiliate yourself with these companies. Once the MT's start to disappear and no one is out there to work at their companies, they must might get the message -- YOU THINK??????
MT's disappearing - wiseoldwoman

It seems to me that's what Nuance wants since they proudly proclaim MTs can eventually be done away with in favor of AI and wonderful, mighty VR!!!!

Where is this being proclaimed? I must be missing that among all the requirements for skilled, knowledgeable people since software, even AI, VR, etc, is just programming that requires human intervention to ensure correct content and context. No doubt an MT's job is going to continue to change (look how much it's changed since the 70's), but we'll never disappear.

So Much Saved! Oct 08, 2013Now why would the man send us an email about how much money "they" have saved the company? To rub it in? We need to be reminded? We know they did it by firing many, making us out of work and lowering our PTO rate and completely taking it away for part timers. Great job! We're all so happy with the savings. ...
SR Just Saved Me Some Time Mar 03, 2012I have some grocery shopping to do later and we love liver & onions so liver's on my list.
Before shopping, I thought I'd get in a little work, and boy am I glad I did. You might not believe in omens, but I do.
The doctor said "There is no liver involvement", but the spirits of SR took this opportunity to inform me that "There is no liver in Walmart" - exactly where I had planned to shop!!
These things are sent to us for a reason, don't you think?
I'm off to Saf ...
FIESA/changes Not Being Saved Mar 26, 2015Major error because I did not send a CC, which I am sure I did, I remember doing it. I remember reading here before something about this and it was proven that changes made to the document were not being saved, Tech Support was involved. Does anybody know what I'm talking about? This is so frustrating. I am sure I sent that copy. I have mentioned to my TSM in the past that way too many people were complaining of the same issue for it to just be discounted. ...

This Is What The Job Posts Lately Seem Like Jan 19, 2011Every time I look to see what's out there, as far as job requirements it seems to get worse and worse. I just wanted to put something up here which is what this all reminds me of... thank you for putting up with my sick humor... Here's what I think when I read jost postings:

The Posts About W2s. Sm Jan 29, 2011I am amazed at how many people ask the same question year after year about company after company. Companies have until 1/31 to mail W2s. The bigger the company, the longer it takes to finish up the previous year's books and have W2s ready to print. It takes a lot of time to print, assemble, stuff, seal, stamp and mail an entire company's worth of W2s. Smaller companies often take just as long because they don't have a large accounting department or the manp ...
Regarding All The Posts Below About Being On 100% QA---- Mar 21, 2012First of all, it sickens me and I can't use the language I want to use about this or I'll get banned.
A few weeks ago I failed an audit just under the 99%. I started getting worried, and I confided in my CCM - told her I was worried about my pay being docked if I ended up on 100% QA. I also told her why all of a sudden are they unhappy with my work when I have been here over 10 years and have always passed my audits. The reasons for failing were ridiculous, and I tol ...
Posts Aug 09, 2012There have been a few times since I left MModal when I've wondered whether I did the right thing by leaving. I still come here to see what's going on, and seeing all the posts makes me know I did the right thing by leaving. Nothing seems to have changed for the good, and I doubt they ever will. God bless you each and every day for putting up with this company's mess and disrespect. ...
Did You See The Posts Below?? That Is It! You Jan 06, 2013for about 2-3 days. You all need to seriously call in sick for 2-3 days. I have emails to about 1,000 MTs. When and IF we get more work coming in, we need to seriously take off by stating we are sick and cannot work.
Something has to be done and this is the only thing I can think of that might trigger something for the higherups to get a CLUE that we are human beings.

Why Can't I See Any Posts, Only Ads? Aug 26, 2013Every time I click on MModal, a blank page comes up and it only goes as far as the advertisement. ...
With All These Posts About Getting Out Of MT, Sep 19, 2013It seems like when someone comes on here to say that they are getting out of MT and studying coding or nursing or something, someone always has something negative to say about what they are pursuing. Well, what jobs are "safe" or good career opportunities. There has to be SOMETHING that can't be sent overseas or hires someone without experience, etc. Right?! ...
FN Posts Yet Another Ad Apr 21, 2014Yes, they do need help. The work has gone from NJA to multiple notices of needing help on specific accounts. However, they are hiring for people to do speech recognition work on the M-Modal platform - their version of this platform. See discussions below. This platform is nonproductive and cumbersome. If someone from this company can make as much money per hour on this M-Modal platform as they were on the previous speech recognition platform, please, by all means, step up ...

I Have Been Reading The Posts Below And Would Like To Say... Nov 04, 2009There are MT DIVAS and QA DIVAS... why couldn't the Lord have given me a voice like Whitney or Aretha, then I could have been a real DIVA and not worrying about making 7 cpl and paying house and car payments. To be Mariah Carey wouldn't be bad either. Which DIVA would you choose to be if you have the choice? George Michael, Donna Summer? I mean REAL DIVAS! ...
I Wonder Why, If All Of The Posts Below Are True, Nov 14, 2009that MQ sent out that stupid letter stating not to worry, we will still need MTs, and that off-shoring will remain one of many solutions (including VR). I really have no idea whether we will still be here after the first of the year or not (although that's what a lot of people on this board thought LAST year and it didn't happen....but WHY would they waste their precious money sending that letter to everyone if they planned on nixing us all soon? Doesn't make sense.&nb ...
Negative Posts Jan 02, 2010I honestly don't understand all the negative MTs on here. It is very unprofessional to come on here and slam your company. I have been an MT for over 10 years and have always made enough money and I'm proud of what I do and love the money I make, all while working from home. I think most of these negative people are just people who aren't cut out for this profession and I wish they would realize that and go find something else to do. Why would you put your ...
DISAPPEARING POSTS Jun 17, 2010Does anyone know why posts just disappear? Posted something around midnight, and get up this morning and it's gone. I was asking about relationship between *******, if any, who owns them. Does this moderator get paid?
Other posts about discrepency between pay of MTs and pay of management who have never transcribed have disappeared, top heavy company comments disappeared...
What's up?

Just Read Posts! So Sorry For MTs Let Go. Sep 02, 2010How do you think the head person of WEB started out? I believe it was from learning the business from MQ. Before WEB, it was Spheris. Before Spheris, it was MQ who was previously known as MRC Group and Transcription Limited who joined and became MQ. Previous to MRC Group, it was Secrephone/Medifax where some of the managers started out and became CEO/COO/board of directors.
All these CEO, COO, financial officers, board of members all know each other and used to wor ...

IC- 1099 Posts Jan 28, 2011I'm curious about all the posts regarding getting your 1099 if you're an IC.
As an IC, a business person, you should already know what you've billed to clients (services). You don't need to wait for a 1099 to file your income taxes if you've kept good records and already know what you billed out and what you received.
I'm flabbergasted at how many of you are so clueless with how to BE an IC. ...
Two Posts Now Deleted May 24, 2012Whatever company you work for, aside from this board, you need to let everyone know what is going on in this industry.
