Talk about the left hand not knowing what the right is doing...

I think my brain has fallen asleep... Is it left hand weakness or left-hand weakness? Thanks bunch! ...

Have been having a very aggravating issue lately with my left hand. There is no pain, no numbness, no temperature change issues, but rather a lack of coordination in regards to my left hand pinky and ring fingers only. When trying to put hands on home keys or use the pinky or ring finger they curl up and I almost have to physically straighten them. Not sure if started overnight or gradually just gotten worse, but has defiitely been bad for a week or so. Making me CRA ...

what the right is doing. Scream for OT, but then find out I am still on 100% QA!!! Well then DO NOT CALL ME FOR OT! ...

I could increase my speed a lot if I could find some way to make a comma with my left hand. I'm using my right hand to control the ==> cursor, and I have an ESL dictator who never says "comma" and a POS speech recognition software that never puts in commas, so I have 25 commas per report to put in. Is there any way to designate comma (,) to another key? I have a Microsoft ergometric keyboard. Thanks. ...

I am not sure if he is saying "physical or visible" fascia. Which makes more sense? ...

My own experience was that I tried one method that didn't work for me and then one that did. I knew that I didn't want lecture-style classes, so I didn't chose that method. The worst parts for me in the first system, which I will call machine learning with correct/incorrect feedback, were those areas where I just cruised along getting the right answers. I only understood the material, if you want to call it material, on a superficial level. There wasn't really much c ...

employees did NOT lose their jobs today. ...

Oracle does not reply to emails with questions. They evidently only want you to fill in the blanks at their website. I refuse to spend my valuable time testing only to find out they start you at 7 cpl or some other ridiculous rate. Can anyone tell me what they pay for an experienced IC MT? 0.09? 0.10? ...

I've made a corporate decision. For myself. As of 4:00 EST, on May 17, 2012, I will never again apply, or waste 2 unpaid hours of my valuable time testing for ANY company which does not list CPL or hourly pay in their job listing. I will also be submitting my own "EMPLOYER HANDBOOK" to potential employers, addressing wage transparency, full explanation of pay rates, and precise factors by which "hourly" or "minimum" wage amounts are arrived at. I ...

Over my many years in this industry, I have worked with tons of QA folks. I was also one of them. Most of them were great. Also always wondered why everything does not go thru QA. They QA all kinds of products in other industries like food products, toys, cars, etcetera. ...

yet unrealized position is just plain unprofessional. What reaction did you really expect? What was the purpose? Right now you have a piece of paper and a promise. Why not wait out the 6 months and then 2 long Mmodal years and then come back and share your journey of a lifetime. Don't forget, they once sold VR as the ticket to tripling your wages. Now that that train has run off the tracks, they need a new "dream" to suck you in. The promise of #30/hour is probably nothing more t ...

I realize we work on production and that we're not making money when our fingers aren't moving, but I don't think there are too many jobs where you're actually actively working for the entire 8-hour shift. There's always downtime. I understand it being a problem if people aren't producing a reasonable amount of work during their shift, but come on! Being chastised for stepping away from the keyboard for a bathroom break or to grab a cup of coffee i ...

To make a long story short, I don't agree with QA scores I was given at my job. I received an e-mail about it and need to reply nicely and suck it up, not unleash and possibly get fired. lol. I have to keep this job and need the money. Please talk me down. It's sad how medical transcription companies expect you to be 100% perfect. It seems like the MT is always wrong. Not QA, not the supervisors, not the presidents of the company. Whenever things go wrong, the MT alway ...

Just for the sake of simplification, let's say there are 3 kinds of MTs: 1. The MT who does absolutely any work type; operative notes, radiology, hematology, cardiology, neurology, and all the hard stuff, including difficult ESLs. Good audits and production. Good at VR. This MT is also certified. 2. The MT who is not certified but has at least 10 years experience, many specialties, ESLs, good audits, VR, and excellent production. 3. The newbie who ...

You've made this board so completely boring that I no longer feel the need to come here every day. ...

Out of 4 slots how many of those do you think will be given to MTs? I wish whoever is applying good luck. ...

I used it ONCE and got an e mail from my CCM to PROVE in Remedy and cc her where it needed to be straight typed. I was told even if I could, to NEVER EVER use it again. She meant it. So why do I see several threads and suggestions here about people using F11 a lot or suggesting we use it all the time? I used it ONCE and got called down. The ONLY reason I was excused was I put in Remedy the job number and a good reason. However, I was WARNED STRONGLY to NE ...

Okay seriously.. Spark, the new instant messenger for Nuance times out for inactivity every 4 minutes, obviously set that way by Nuance since the Spark instruction page on their own website says it times out every 20 minutes. Here's to the Nuance Police and their new "big brother" software! ...

Before responding, please read this post carefully. Yes, I’m talking union here, but NOT an MT union which would be pointless. Unfortunately we’ve missed that opportunity. Also, this post is intended for experienced professional MTs and include my thoughts on several topics that started down below. And hold onto your hats; this is a long one. I’ve chimed in on this subject before, but I wanted to make an official post to put it out there and get valuable feedback fro ...

The only person REALLY interested is apparently the person who recently posted. ****** This followup is posted mostly to point out the REALITY and that's that MTs will NEVER unionize :) It's just a topic that comes up, everybody creates fervor for their POV and then it all goes away (thank goodness)! ...

Talk about unprofessional. Michael at Inscribe calls at 7:00 a.m. for an interview. Then, when I call back 4 hours later, it is a home number, and Roy answers, hello. I ask to speak to Michael, Roy seems dazed and confused. Again I ask to speak to Michael about a job interview. Roy puts the phone down and yells for Michael, and tells him he has an interview on the phone. Michael picks up the phone, also dazed and confused. I explain that I am returning his call, that he had left me ...

So, it's true. I grew up on a farm. We had cows and stuff like that. And in my early wanderings around the place, I happened to notice certain - er, differences, shall we say - among the animals. I lay no claim to being particularly sharp-eyed, because these differences were more or less at eye level to me at that age. You couldn't miss 'em if you tried. Of course, this led to certain awkward questions, and in turn I received this memo under my cerea ...

Let's face it, striking will do no good. Complaining about off-shoring has done no good, unless that will cease at a national level for all industries. Complaining about pay is doing no good, since there is always an MT that will take a job at any rate. What can we do? What if instead of a strike, all MTs did only the minimum line requirement for a week? I think many, many MTs should go the Labor Board and file a complaint: If a company requires you to clock in an ...

I do. My faithful dog who sits beside me all day must think I am talking to him, but sometimes when they say the most idiotic things I just feel compelled to respond out loud. It does make me feel better. On the flipside of that, I wonder if the dictators are thinking to themselves while dictating that they sure hope I don't leave any blanks so they have to fill them in. It would be fun (?) to get together with some doctors and have a session of "To Tell The Truth A ...

Some dictators really like talking into that dictaphone and telling stories (literally novels) about their patients... but , the more these guys talk (blab, rather) - the more money I get! So, it's a doube-edged sword in this regard. The downside is that it's sooooooooo irritating and frustrating to keep typing as they go on and on and on and on and on and on until the cows come home! You wonder when the dictation will end! What do you guys think? Does anyone else get "story telling" ...
