They have been hearing these same things over and over and over and - over and over for 5+ years


Posted: Mar 27, 2015

...the business model works well for them. They made their money off you before you even signed on. They made it 1) when they landed your previous facility's contract and 2) when you were gullible enough to sign on to help voice wreck unemploy yourselves. If they wanted you to stick around you'd be so overworked you could not stand it. Nothing new about any of this stuff except this appears to be the latest set of Nuance casualties. In another month there will be another new set when the next facility signs on and another 10 or 11 gullible MTs sign on to unemploy themselves. For real choose a date from 4 or 5 years ago and see if you don't get sick of the repetition.

After 5+ years of treating the people from facility after facility like this, do you honestly think it is going to change? Get real. Each and every good point you all are making has been stated and made by every intelligent MT passing through the meat grinder.

Am I Losing My Hearing
Jun 17, 2013

I invested in a "good" or what I thought was a "good" pair of headphones a while back.  However, lately I have been struggling with dictators.  It seems like more and more of them have mumbling, stumbling speech making it EXTREMELY difficult to interpret.  In a "perfect" world, our job would be soooo much easier and not having to struggle with them mumbling, whispering, holding conversations (or at least attempting to) while dictating, and on and on. Oh well, at least I have a j ...


Hearing Issue

I'm sick of testing and testing and never hearing anything or hearing back we're sorry, you don't meet our needs.  I have 15 years of frickin experience.  My QA scores are always between 99% to 100%.  I know the BOS.  I do QA for crying out loud.  I'm starting to think it's easier for MT's with little to no experience to get a job these days than it is for a seasoned MT who actually knows what they're doing.  I think the whole reas ...

Telephone use is very difficult and almost non-existent. Boosters do not help. Also diagnosed recently with RA and having difficulty with my fingers, but not letting it get me down. I am on treatment that is working well. Just wondered if anyone else is having any of these issues and how they are dealing with them. Th ...


MTSO Informed Me That She Is Tired Of Hearing

Recommendations For Transcriptionists Who Are Getting Hearing Aids
Apr 24, 2015

Dear Friends: I went to my ENT on Monday and they did a hearing test and found that I have significant hearing loss in my left ear and to make it compatible with my right ear, which has much less hearing loss, they recommended that I get hearing aids.  My question to you is what recommendations do you have for headphones for over the ears, not in the ear, for people who wear hearing aids.  Thanks so much. Sincerely,  Suzie ...
