Shorthand no longer being provided

It says it is a trail version though. Did everyone pay for their own word expander or did MModal provide it? I'm wondering why they put Shorthand on desktop and then we have to pay for it. ...

Are there any employers that furnish the necssary hardware anymore? ...

Hi there - i work for a hospital but we were sent home to type 1 year ago. Now my Norton's antivirus is up I was just told by the director of our department that I have to pay for the subscription myself ($45!) and then be reimbursed by the hospital....is this the way it is done? Seems to me it is a little iffy - just wanted some opinions....thanks! ...

Does Medquist still provide a computer to transcriptionists. If so, is there a rental fee or deposit fee? Also, is this only for full-time or also for part-time? Thanks! ...

Those of us working from .07 to .08 cents per line with a service are making .03 cents per line less than we made 25 years ago. How many of you have reduced the services you used to do for clients to compensate for this gross reduction in wages? Is that an option? Should we stop doing ANYTHING but pounding the keyboard, afterall, that is all was get paid for. The rest of our services are unpaid: research, verifying patient data, keeping spreadsheets for the client, phone calls, installing so ...

Does anyone know if iMedX installs tracking software under the guise of an antivirus program on employees personal computers when hired? ...

I've got several options out there. I was with MQ/TL for 12 years. Transcription experience 25 years. I'm getting a little freaked out about learning a new platform. I don't even know Microsoft Word! I did manage to muddle through it to type a new resume though. Not too hard. How much should an IC charge per line to cover taxes, expenses? Any IC advice would be helpful. Thanks. ...

do they hold your final check until they receive the equipment? My payday is supposed to be Friday and they were supposed to send me the tags to send back the equipment, but I have not received them yet, and I am thinking I will maybe not be paid on Friday if they have not received the equipment. TIA ...

Nuance not paying me enough to afford my own computer. ...

I am so thankful that I am no longer with MM. I quit in May and it is the best decision I have made in a very long time. I got so tired of the unreasonable hours, the constant changing of hours/days. I got tired of the threats about quality (which is definitely unrealistic), then you get the threats about not having enough lines. I don't have to tell all of you what a terrible journey it is with MM. It is the kiss of death and it will never be any b ...

Okay! I've had enough. I was going to hang in longer but I am now being Aggressive and sending my resume out! I won't be doing MT work anymore -- that's for sure! Perhaps working at the local community college if not for the government. At this point, I don't really care what I do because anything is better than this! WooHoo! It's a AHAA movement for me. It won't be long now. Best of luck to those who chose to stay wit ...

I noticed today that the break pay section of the timesheet was gone today and when I clocked off a minute ago after working for 7 hours that in the "break" box, it said 0.00, when usually it would be 0.33. Anyone know? I know it's not a lot of money, but I usually get about 3 hours per pay period and about $30. I would hate to lose that, cause every dollar counts. ...

I'm told the low volumes are due to the time of the year. I just don't remember this happening in past years. My time sheet has 10-15 entries by the time of the day - this is nuts. Can't take no pay, can't use up all my PTO in a week. Seriously, what are we supposed to do? ...

of leaving out the word "a", this is ridiculous. Whenever I think about quitting I feel happy; whenever I think about working I feel sad, micromanaged. Life is TOO short. Just my short rant. ...

my new life of not dealing with trying to produce a medical report for a MTSO to look good and make profit. How things have changed in the medical world and it is getting ulgier by the day. The demands put on MTs are totally unreasonable. I am walking away because of retirement and I am thankful I can. I honestly do not know if I could survive under the stress of trying to produce perfection for such minimal pay and know that a MTSO is making as much as me for each line I ...

I am in the process of transitioning jobs and will be going from a company-provided computer to my own. Any suggestions on what software programs are needed, virus protection, word expanders, line counting, and hardware like foot pedal? The hospital I am looking into will be using Microsoft Word. Any comments on whether this is a good program or not to transcribe on? Any tips? I have been with the same company for 15 years, so have been out of the loop and need ...

I seriously considered bagging transcription. But as my child comes in and gives me hugs and my teenage daughter asks what I think of something, I am glad I am available even though the money is not happening. ...

I have been looking for a job in the medical field in my city for nearly a year because I am soooooo tired of being an MT. Finally, I got a new job today! I am so fortunate as I live in a smaller town and there aren't many health care related jobs here. In two weeks I will start my new job as a claims examiner I have experience doing this years ago). Yippy! M-F 8-5, health insurance is free for employees, paid holidays, paid vacation, and steady work! To ...

Dont care who gets the reports to fix them but Im done..Takes too long to look in docqmanage to figure out who algekafhj, PAC is...too long to find you exact wording for your stupid closures...I am convinced that as long as we send them through QA and the doctor himself doesnt have to fix it, IT WILL NEVER CHANGE...Slow their day down a bit, they dont seem to mind slowing my money down... ...

contact them about my current company. I told them there is not a company out there that pays decent wages and I am lucky to bring home $150 a week currently. Maybe we can get ALL these MTSOs to pay decent wages! Finally! ...

for lousy dictators!! I am just fed up with being blamed for the dictator's inability to speak fluently. I am just NOT going to blame myself any longer, nor am I going to shoulder the blame from the MTSO. I am going to tell them talk to the doctors and I do not want to hear it again! ...

I just noticed today that my TL no longer shows up on my comagent. I always keep it open on my desktop and can tell who is on and who isn't and her name is always there regardless of whether she is working or not and then today all of a sudden her name is gone. Very strange. Her email address still shows up though ...

Trying to figure out what you are saying by going through older reports..Speak correctly and normally and we will all get along much better...If I cant train ASR, and I cant, then Im gonna try and train the doctors..I crack myself up, they cant be trained either. Enjoy the blanks guys and gals.. ...

after all the comments about the layoffs I guess they decided to nix that option all togehter. you can comment on their posts/pictures but not write on their page. ...

This was in the ad on the Job Seekers board for Rad/Onc MLS for SmartType: "Windows XP is no longer HIPAA complaint [sp] and no longer supported by Microsoft" Has anyone else heard about this and if so, why is it no longer HIPAA compliant? ...

I went in to try and get an old report from DEP and all I can get is job submission stuff..anyone else? I rely pretty heavily on being able to pull up previous reports for crazy terms and this 30-day limit in Fluency is not cutting it. ...

24 to 48 hours to respond to you about testing results? I took the test Tuesday morning and am waiting on pins and needles. ...

Yes, I have seen this enough times that it no longer surprises me. There were 18 reports on my primary. I have an hour left of my shift. When I anticipated downloading the next one, all 18 were gone, gone, gone. It is upsetting. I would try adjusting my schedule but it would do no good, there normally is too little work during that time as it is. I already will be taking about 3 hours of PTO for being OOW on Sunday. It would be 4 but I have made up some ...

Shorthand no longer being provided - nn

You won't need it with 99% VR anyway, unfortunately. - nm

Have to disagree with not needing ShortHand because of VR. sm - anon

Most certainly DO need Shorthand with VR! - And not just for retyping

An e-mail said ?27% still don't use an expander, which - shocked me. 27% cannot be Olympic speed keyers.nm

Transcend used to provide Shortcuts for Windows in - past not Shorthand. No longer provide it.
