I had a bad experience with MQ -- but I don't post every cotton picking time someone mentions it and share all my ug's and yuk feelings. give it up! or at least limit it to answering questions with specifics according to your experience.
Not any more - at least not on my accounts

Transcend converted to BeyondTXT and took away Bayscribe for many accounts. I think this is to ready those accounts for VR in the near future. Anyway, it is a shame because Bayscribe is the best platform ever. Then again, so was MDI, but we all know that story. :(
All my accts are on Bayscribe through Transcend. - Nomsg
I know that Oracle uses Bayscribe platform. Can anyone tell me if this is a good platform. Is it easy to make lines on? How would you compare it to Edit-Script or DocuScribe platforms. I found DocuScribe to be a good platform and user-friendly. ...
Originally when they came out with the new pay scale they were going to take 12%. After a major gribe session, Nuance agreed not to take the 12%. Now however, I find that regardless of how many lines our hours I work, I'm consistetly just a smidge under 99%, so my line rate is now 0.08 cpl (less than I was before their grand rollout) every week. How can it be when I do my FIESA review and I see multiple 100% jobs, somehow they are never the ones pulled for payroll. Anyone else notic ...
In Bayscribe if you do not want the letter after the period to be capitalized, what do you do? ie p.o. Antibiotics. Would like to be p.o. antibiotics.
Thanks for your help. ...
Is there any way that one can make a JUMP-TO command on this platform? When I make a canned normal and want to just fill in my blanks, is there is an easy way to get to it? I could on DQscribe, but not sure how on Bayscribe. Thanks for your help. ...
Just a few years ago I was making 50K plus doing the same exact thing I am now getting paid 10-12 dollars an hour for. Does anybody know the real reason for this dramatic change? the details? ...
When will you MTSOs wise up and realize that pages and pages and pages and pages and pages and pages and pages and pages and pages and pages and pages and pages and pages of account specs for nitpicky docs SLOW DOWN YOUR MTs?
If you had any sense, you would use standardized headings in all reports and then turn that into a positive by telling prospective clients that it expedites turnaround of their reports. That is *exactly* what I did back when I owned my company, and it worked!&n ...
If you want experienced qualified MTs who have been doing this for years and years & can do any WT, any accent, any specialty, adapt to any software quickly.... quit requiring them to include a weekend day. Save those for part-timers or newbies. The experienced "oldies" have done their graveyard and weekend time. There are actually some companies who "get" that. If you're wondering why you can't find good experienced MTs, maybe that's why... ...
Hello! I'm a small MTSO who had lost some clients due to EMR. I'm not yet ready to give up as of yet because I love this profession very much being in the MT business for the past 11 years. I have heard stories about more and more doctors getting frustrated with EMR and would still want to dictate parts of the medical reports but somehow needed the transcribed dictation interfaced with their own EMR system. I'm very interested to learn how this is done so I can o ...
Honestly, I hate change but I am ready to jump.
I don't ask too much, just to know if I get audited by QA the intent is not to take money off me.
From what I can see, both the two big 2 - Nuance and MModal - use QA punitively financially, and while I have no objection to QA, when it is used to pick off MT pay I find that reprehensible and not an incentive to work your heart out, if you get what I mean.
If anyone cares to share their company's policies, especially if they don't ...
That would make things much easier for us to plan ahead the rest of our shift; whether to sit there and wait for work, or if we only will be working part of a shift and the work runs out, or if we can sign out and do other things in our personal life that need to be done.
I can't see that it's that big a problem or inconvenience for you to simply send an email to all on the account, or instant message, or whatever. You do it when you're begging for he ...
Wondering which companies use Bayscribe? I worked on Bayscribe for a short while and loved it! Would like to work on another Bayscribe account and want to know where to look. ...
I updated to IE10 from IE9 and now the QA marker won't work. Anybody know what to do to get it to work? Anybody working on Bayscribe in IE10? I key in Alt-Q and the marker comes up, but when I press enter or okay with the mouse, the box goes away and no marker in the text. I can go in an uninstall the update if need be, but I was hoping this would work. TIA. ...
Hi, I am very new to Bayscribe and I was just informed that when I am in ADT that I need to type A to pull all info on patient .. Am I just not seeing it right? Where to I do this... I am getting not response from QA .. Just was told that when I am in ADT to type A.
I guess I need a step by step how to on this ...
I could be wrong, but it appears to me that the VR came about as an answer to the problem of offshoring. I am sure many clients prefer to keep their dictation/transcription right here in the USA and request that from the companies they use. Maybe we should not be so adverse to it, as it could be the only means of keeping the work here affordably. ...
How do you handle using subcontractors (IC's) and still be HIPAA and HITECH compliant? I guess what I'm getting at is after I did some reading on IRS rules for employee versus IC, it sounds almost impossible to have IC and be HIPAA/HITECH compliant.
One says I have to provide training/education on HIPAA, yet the other ones says I can't provide training/education otherwise they are an "employee." One says I can't dictate how the work station is set up, etc., but t ...
Is this just a scam so that employers don't have to pay benefits and employer taxes? I bet if there was an audit, most ICs and MTSOs would be in trouble for using that classification improperly, especially for the full-time positions.
I even applied for a full-time secretarial job in a small law office recently, and was told I would be hired as a contractor with no benefits. I was stunned and declined. I need to check with the labor department to see if some of my concern ...
I have finally been offered 2 jobs after working for a company that required experienced MTs but only pays 24,000 a year - that's right, I am eligible for poverty-level discounts on my utilities while working fulltime as a seasoned MT, making the highest line count on my account.
So, I wonder how I can ask: How much money can I expect to make? I want to make 40 grand a year at least. ...
Let me introduce myself. I am a full time MT with 25 years experience in this business, averaging typing 2000 lines per day, audit scores 98% and above, who willingly works OT when requested, and I have never taken a sick day. I consider my job a serious employment commitment. I am the bread-winner in my family. I don't say this to indicate I make the most money. This means I PAY THE BILLS. You know, mortgage, car payments, insurance, light bill, food on the ta ...
I am just curious at what point you stop looking at resumes that have been emailed to you after posting a job. Is it 50? 100? More or less?
If I have been away from the board for a bit and come back to find a job that has been posted that I am interested in, if there are more than 200 views to it I generally move on and do not bother with applying. I figured that with that many viewing probably half or more have applied and sending my resume at that point would be ...
I'm not an MTSO, never was, and never would be if I could help it. In one of the threads below someone mentioned that some larger MTSOs hold it against someone if they post something on a forum like this. I put myself in the position of the MTSO for a moment. What would I do if someone contacted me and told me that one of the MTs that was working for me was trashing me on a public forum. I would go look at it. If I knew who they were, I wouldn't send them any additional work. It wouldn ...
Let's get to the point here on why most MTSOs are greedy. It is not because the MT makes mistakes or should make mistakes. That is not the issue. The real issue is that MTSOs don't pay what a quality MT is worth! That's where the "greedy" comes in. It also shows that the MTSO obviously doesn't really care about the transcriptionist at all. If an MTSO pays really low, this says to me they are treating the MTs as robot "worker bees" work ...
I have worked for a company for almost two years now (MT for 11 years) and am wondering why, all of the sudden, for about a week now I have been getting nothing but dictators that I am not familiar with. They are part of my pool and I have had dictations from them in the past, but never exclusively. I have only gotten two dictations in this time period from the dictators for whom I normally transcribe. I understand wanting everyone on the team to be familiar with all ...
ICs beware. If your MTSO is found to be noncompliant by the IRS, you will be next in their crosshairs.

for all MTs it has forced into poverty or joblessness because of offshoring, VR, and crummy wages to be able to return to school or job retraining FREE OF CHARGE, so we can remain gainfully employed. Most of us who've been in this biz for longer than 4 or 5 years have no hope of being able to afford to go to school. And those of us who've been MTs longer than 20 years need help and advocacy when it comes to job placement, because currently I seriously doubt many companies would h ...
