Posted: Dec 04, 2014

your keyboard in your lap? My circumstances required me to work away from my usual desk and I never went back. I had hand and shoulder issues with RA and working with my keyboard in my lap was a game changer. It extended my working life by almost ten years. I recommend everyone try it!
Can anybody recommend a good set of headphones, over the ear style? I do have a slight hearing impairment and really need a good set. Thank you in advance for the suggestions. ...
I often transcribe while nursing and my baby keeps breaking my headphones by tugging on the cord very hard. I'm thinking cordless headphones are the way to go so he has nothing to grab on to. Can any of you recommend a good brand of cordless headphones? Thanks! ...
We are going to start a small business (nothing to do with MT) and eventually have employees. I am completely fuddle-headed with math functions, even simple addition and subtraction.
I was thinking about a small bookkeeping class at a local tech school, or possibly an on-line course. I hate to put a lot of money into a class for any type of degree or certificate, with a lot of things to learn that I don't really need or want.
I would like to find a simple (... For Dummies) accounti ...
Can anyone recommend a good digital voice recorder for the office I work in? We are still using tapes and it drives me crazy. They are looking into switching to a digital recorder and I need suggestions for a good one.
Thanks in advance,

Hello,
I am becoming disenchanted with the medical transcription profession and how it has become less lucrative (although some may disagree).
I wanted to look into medical coding as an alternative at-home (remote) or in-office job. I was hoping someone could recommend a few good websites that discuss the profession, how to prepare for it, how long training typically takes before you can "launch yourself", how lucrative it could be if you really apply yourself, and so on.
I've hear ...
Does anyone have an idea of a good keyboard that is fast to type on? I have a few. One is an old Dell that is awkward and the other is a new Dell that is also awkward because the keys are so flat and touchy. Is there one out there that anyone prefers? ...
I am looking for a good keyboard that will cause less pain in my already tendonitis-inflamed arms, that is also fast. I know there are a lot of good keyboards to help relieve stress on the arms, but I need one that can be as fast ast I need it to be. Anybody know of any?? Thanks in advance. ...
Has anyone any suggestions for a super good keyboard with a light touch response? I hate the keyboard that came with my work equipment, bought another, but the keys clatter when I type and it's distracting. Before I get a new one, I'd like to get some suggestions.
Thanks in advance my co-workers! ...
Rarely do I start discussion on mtstars - however, 2014 was a particularly challenging year for myself - an experienced MT/Editor (15+ years). However, I realize that many other MTs may be in the same position, i.e., having many years devoted to working at the Big MTSOs including âthe M,â and âthe Nâ and (now to be included) âthe Tâ following close behind in total numbers of MT/Editors on staff. (Hint: Sure most of you know the M, the N and the T - and the names have been int ...
I have expierence with QA, although have never been paid production for it. I do enjoy QA more. Does anyone have expierence at All Type in QA? Are they reliable?? Do they pay well? I currently make about 32000/year and need more. Would this be doable? TIA!! ...
Well Good Friday to me. I left Spheris. It is indeed the best Friday for me in a very long time. I've had it with their lousy platform, Mafia QA (they try their best to kill your spirit), mandatory this, mandatory that, do this, don't do that, change this, don't change that; no, don't change this, don't change that, and on and on and on, and now their bankruptcy. No PTO for the next 4 months to keep the clients satisfied during ...
Hi ladies,
I'm coming to realize that even though I've been searching and searching for another job, I'm going to be MT'ing for some time to come.
I'm rather uncomfortable while typing all day, from my hands, arms, bottom, ears from the headphones, my foot from hitting the pedal. I have pillows under my foot and bottom and even my back and it doesn't help as much as I would like. I'm using a regular Microsoft keyboard and mouse, neither real ...
I have not gotten an e-mail on this from my TSM, so maybe it isn't in our region yet. Be that as it may, some of the comments I read lead me to goggle this. I'm not computer geek and it's really early in the a.m. (only 1 cup of coffee and 2 cigs) so my brain is not quite functioning yet. What I'm reading and i could be wrong, is that there is not quite enough info on this system in my opinion. What I have read seems to me to be like Big Brother, someon ...
Has anyone else had a problem downloading this? According to the email, it looks like we're required to install it, but Norton is telling me not to. I dread contacting support over this. ...
I have ONE blank is a very large document, and it is driving me CRAZY!
"She was treated with a Medrol Dosepak with S/L TRAY-A-TINE improvement in symptoms.
I cannot figure out what the heck he is saying! Please help. I hate blanks!
TIA ...
I so look forward to these last 5 years going by fast: Going back to college to get a degree and walking away from MT never looking back. If it wasnt for paying for my schooling, I'd be out of this by now. If things get too bad I'd consider cutting lunch meat, stocking shelves at the neighborhood grocery store, whatever. The only up side to my 10+ years of doing MT work has been able to stay home for my kids and making pocket change.&nb ...

DO YOU THINK BELOW ARTICLE MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH SOME OF US MT'S SENDING IN EMAILS TO THAT ONE POST MENTIONED A WEEK AGO TO A REPORTER?

Makes no difference that I know of to the dictator. Doesn't save him or her any money. Probably a negative for the patient, as I sincerely believe there is a bigger chance of their medical record being less than accurate. Sure is not a plus for us MT/ME's, except those extremely few who seem to have the right account, I would venture a guess of about 5% of us.
The only positive I see is to the client. They are getting lied to, that if they go with ASR, it is such a g ...
