Do you HONESTLY think Mr. Trump(ed-up claims) doesn't use offshore labor? Come on now.
How long do you think it would take for our country to take a nose-dive with all his "I am the almighty Trumpisms" pissing off the rest of the world. This guy is about as clueless as a 2 x 4, which IMO, is what he needs to bang his head against.
He opens his mouth, he's lying. So please don't get all excited because he ACKNOWLEDGED jobs are going to India.
Is what our leaders are doing now working? - Ang

The hostile countries will be pissed at us no matter what, and China within several years will be bypassing us as the superpower if things do not change. I do not claim to know everything about Donald Trump, but what I do know is we need a president with some backbone and a person that other countries will actually take seriously and believe that he means what he says.
I understand where you are coming from. - Everyone who has SM

had their jobs offshored feels vindicated when they hear someone on TV acknowledge the problem. Ed Schultz of MSMBC is a a good example. We think "He gets it". The problem is Ed Schultz, Donald Trump, or whoever are not politicians. Trump can say whatever he wants as he is not in a position to change anything and he never will be. Offshoring benefits corporations, and a lot of politicians are beholden to them. It does not matter who is in the White House, it will not change.
Every December, MT Stars would have snowflakes falling down the screen and they kind of cheered me up. Is there a reason we don't have them again this year? ...

on this board and BBB has no listing for them where can you go to do a research of them other than paying for a background search? I tried the "Yellow Pages" but it doesn't yield much information. Would appreciate any info. ...
Curious -- did that account leave yet? Any word on how they are spreading work around the MTs?
I was wondering if this is one of my backups or not. ...
There have been recent posts on here regarding a company who wants you to have a certain version of software installed before you can work for this company. I had several discussions with said MTSO, who stated that he would pay for it and take it out in increments from my paycheck. Unlike other MTSOs, who may send via the internet and snail mail, they send paperwork via snail mail. I called earlier in the week to see if it had been recieved "no, and we will call you ...
I took a test the other day to apply for an MT job and the doctor loud and clear gave the patient's name. The dictation was a consult. When the doctor mentioned the name of the hospital, I heard a beep, but when then the patient's name was stated I heard it.
I hope those are fake dictations that we test on. If that was real information, I do not want to go there for help.

They have put out the word that they are hiring more auditors. That is probably to ensure more mistakes are caught, thereby lowering our pay even more and turning us against one another.
I don't understand FIESA's role in this. Anyone?? ...
and my teenage son, who has witnessed many meltdowns that I have had working for MM, was in earshot and simply said, Mom, wouldn't that be like marrying an abusive boyfriend? His analogy was right on if you ask me! I have been sending out resumes, actively looking for another job and when I saw this I thought that it sounds great and is a very generous offer but in the end you will still be working for Mmodal who expects everything and gives nothing in return. I am her ...
The phrase is She will be evaluated by PT, OT and speech therapy, corrected to She will be evaluated by PT, OT and Speech Therapy. I thought it was only capitalized in when followed by a proper name like Montana Central Hospital Speech Therapy.
Thanks. ...
when you look at the reports you have in QUEUE and the status of the report says CONTEXT ADAPTATION ADMINISTRATOR, what does this mean, and why am I not getting paid for these reports??? ...
Question--Has anyone tried beating them at their own game by purchasing their own speech rec system, installing it, and re-dictating what the dictators have said? Has it worked for you? Did you increase your productivity? What system did you use? Looking for info. Thanks! ...
My quality has gone down since the clinic that I work at started this. We use Dictaphone Extext. Anyway, I must be going too fast or something because I seem to miss things. Has anyone else had this problem? I have started reading over my reports myself now before sending them through and I asked my supe if they have improved. She said yes, but I still am making mistakes and she will send me my reports back shortly. The only thing else I know t ...

Hello,
I am a new MT and learned transcription from cassette tapes and Express Scribe. Can someone tell me what voice recognition is and how is it used in transcription? ...
we have dictators who compose sentences such as this:
"A xx-year-old female accompanied by daughter in secondary to within the last week has run out of her amlodipine, Prozac and clonidine anywhere from 3-5 days ago each of these."
I kid you not, that is what this doctor said. American doc, speaking clear English. Now tell me, what am I supposed to do with that? It is a verbatim account, but the last time I let some gobbly gook like that go through I got chewed out for it (!) ...
This is a first for me. The doc is NOT ESL. But, it took me quite a while to figure out what she was saying when I heard, "The patient lickscrapitus in his knee." Later on, I realized that she was has difficulty with pronouncing some A's and E's correctly. So, the "lickscrapitus" was "lacks crepitus", which is also a rather odd way of making the statement, IMHO.
Why don't the facilities/MTSOs notify the MTs when there is a doc on the account with certain s ...
I'm starting to do MT @ home and come from an office that used no speech recog. Only have OO and wondering what software is the best for speech recog that is compatible. Thanks! ...
Does anyone know of any company that does NOT use speech wreckognition. I dont care what they say about once you are used to it you can do twice as much in the same amount of time. I have NEVER found that to be true. What I do find to be true is it takes me just as long, sometimes longer to clean up the mess it makes and I do it for half the pay. Let me just say how much I DO NOT LOVE averaging about 4.00/hour cleaning up after speech wreckognition. And yes, I ...
Ok very new to WBX and speech rec and not sure what to think! How long did it take others to get accustomed to their platform and editing VR?
I could transcribe at least 200+ lph at my previous job via straight transcription, but my highest since working here has only been 100 ughhhh!
I'm so unsure of this! Guess I'm looking for encouragement that it will get better and/or easier!! Any tips? I just downloaded the free trial of IT7 and am h ...
Can anyone tell me where to find a copy of the shortcut keys for ExText. I had no training on it outside of the basics and was never given any shortcuts keys/commands and I am sure there are a lot of things I could be doing better. Any help is definitely appreciated. ...
