nobody's perfect

I need help in being a perfect MT. It seems I proofread my work and later find out that I left a word out or did not finish a word. I am not perfect and will never be so why do I beat myself up when I do this? I know all the rest of you must be perfect because I am told I am not and have to be to keep this job. ...

I have over 15 years as an MT. I think I'm pretty darn good after all these years. Perfect? No. But darn good. Anyway, my thorn in the side is whenever I test for a new MTSO lately my test score comes back at 86%. WTH? I am meticulous when it comes to testing and have all my books, etc. handy when taking the test. I take my time and know that I pretty much did 100%. Then I get the little email. "We're sorry but your score was 86% on the test. Sorry but we can't go into detail abou ...

Sound quality is perfect. Doctors are enunciating. No background noise. Getting a high line count. Oh wait, I just woke up and smelled the coffee. What a great dream. Now back to the reality of this nightmare. ...

Looking for extra work. ...

Saw their job posting and was wondering if the "pay issues" were ever resolved? Also, any current Lee Perfect ICs out there happy or sad with the company? Is there plenty of work? Tx! ...

Yesterday I had my appointment for a a haircut and color. I was sitting in the chair, and a woman two chairs down asked where I worked. She said I looked familiar. That, of course, was not the case. We got to talking, and she said she was a transcriptionist 20 years ago, and she was trying to break into this field again, but no company would hire her because she had not done this work for so long. She asked what company I worked for. I told her I q ...

I just got an email from them asking me if I would be able to type 3500 lines in 2 weeks. Any input? ...

I have been observing a lot of comments made on this board and have heard many comments from others about the MT profession across the Internet. Sadly, most comments ring loud and clear with the all too familiar vibe, such as: “Times are tough” and “You have to make adjustments” during these tough economic times. Yes I get that part of it. I also work at a MTSO and I know from firsthand experience that it can be tough -- especially when our pa ...

I'm an IC, at present have two accounts, and have used WP for 24 years (WP X3 in the last five). However, because of changes coming down the pike, I think I should probably finally sit down and really learn Word (I have Word 2007). I just thought I'd ask here before I take a class on Word: Are there any medical transcription shortcuts/secrets I should know about that I wouldn't learn in a class? For instance, is it possible not to use the mouse? Are there ...

Hello all! I just received an IC offer from Lee Perfect. I have checked the archives and cannot find any postings more recent than 2010. Anyone currently work for or recently worked for them in the past? Pros, cons? I just recently lost a great cardiology account with another company thanks to EMR, and I am hopeful to find a company that makes me as happy as that one did. I used to work for Transcend, so I'm leery of big MTSOs. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! :) ...

Failed by 0.15. Got an error for "not following CP" Excuse me! I could not find this tiny exception in the jumble they call the CP. Oops, like, sorry I missed that, but I did hunt for it! I know there is one account in the many I encounter every day that I has this little tidbit waiting to bite you in the rear end. Looking forward to 2 more fails - even though I am in the 99% range. I do not know how I am going to do any better with the sound quality and the horrid ASR I am given. I al ...

Needs 7 years experience, scan entire report and leave feedback for 1.40 per report?? And we all know how lengthy those reports can be..... are they really hoping to get any resumes?? Good Luck! ...

Who is responsible for putting reports in there? The same people that are dinging me for adding "a" or "the" in the wrong spot. You spelled the name of the retractor wrong!!! Maybe they should sign the reports so I can QA them ...

Only work part-time, few days a week, so this week got four jobs audited at 100% each four days in a row, so they keep going until they can find an error and, of course, one small word was found incorrect! I have never had 5 audits in one week. How discouraging this is, very sad and pathetic. ...

They offered direct deposit. But no, they both pay in paper checks. No, I don't live paycheck to paycheck. I have a stash of money for emergencies. But direct deposit would be nice, because sometimes things happen with the mail. It can get lost, or be delayed by a couple days. It'd be nice to have the money right there in the bank on the same days. Just venting. ...

I attempt to balance my life and have, for the most part, been successful in the past 10 years with MM. However, with the constant MOT for the past several months, I feel like I'm in constant chaos. I can no longer find time to cook, clean, be with my husband, be with my kids, spend time with my extended family, exercise, find time for me, etc. I am constantly tired, achy, and feel physically and emotionally sick. I don't eat properly or on a schedule anymore be ...

Sends excessive pretentious emails, and a HDSM that is ghost. I was transferred to this POD months ago and have only gotten 1 email from the HDSM, and that only to request OT. I want to go back to my old POD. ...

Question...on Word Perfect, if you use spellcheck and have some "shortcuts" created, i.e., "DD:" to expand to "Dictated by" how can you keep it from expanding it as it goes thru the document? Hope this makes sense. Thanks!! ...

retirement hut. It is on the inner island. If it makes you feel better there is no tsunami and/or hurricane season in this area of the South Pacific. Bunion, I was not sure of your island preference, water, beach or inner island hut. There are plenty to choose from. Shipwrecked, you may have NJA tonight (I have it almost everyday as well), but it won't be long before we say "Q who" and move into these huts in paradise. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/common ...

Anybody ever hear of these people or have experience with them? Their ad says they have plenty of work but can't find anybody to help. That right there set off warning bells. ...

Did you see their latest job ad? They seem to want perfection, but I bet they don't give perfection. ...

Hi, just looking around and wondered if anyone has worked for or had any experience with Lee Perfect Transcription located in Chicago. Thanks for the info. ...

Has anyone worked for or have any knowledge of Lee Perfect Transcription? Would appreciate learning anything about them, good or bad. Thx ...

Does anybody have any experience in working with Lee Perfect? ...

Did anyone hear back from this company or get a job with them? I know after searching the archives they have had a reputation of not paying in the past. ...

work for this, what would happen? Now is the time to stand up for what you deserve. ...

just shows which people are getting the gravy work while I'm drowning in the muck. The people sharing the nightmare accounts I'm on will NEVER be able to have zero blanks or even a perfect score considering the putrid garbage we're trying to hear and interpret, while obviously there's a nice little list of lucky people getting things they can hear & I'm sure able to make a lot more money as well. So glad they decided to rub that in to the rest of us! ...

In Word Perfect, to count characters, you click on properties, word count, and then do you just add up the top two things, Characters and Words, taking that total and dividing by 65? They are paying 65 character lines including spaces and I cannot remember how to do this. I have WPX4. Thank you kindly. ...

Does anyone know if Perfect Transcription sends their work overseas? ...

I am an MTSO and see the WMX/Nuance merger as an opportunity to improve employee relations. Until the last few months, it seemed the Webmedx could do no wrong. Employees were happy and seemed proud to work there. Then it changed, obviously as they were gearing up for the sale. So, as a growing MTSO, I want to ask you this: What did they do that made people so happy? What can other MTSOs do to become the "perfect" service to work for? I am not looking fo ...

yes - Samantha

Well, there ya go, Nuance WANTS MTs to despise - the QA/management

Sorry but in this case, ''there ya don't go....'' - nymt
