I am going from years of straight transc to VR

Does anyone remember how to change the font when working in MModal Fluency for Transc Editor? I can't find it anywhere. Thanks in advance. ...

Thought that after not having enough work for a couple years now and always chasing work, I'd now have a "real job" as an employee and wouldn't have to worry about a steady paycheck and paying the bills anymore. The reason I thought this was because at the interview and in their professional company emails, they use all the "real job" words: Shift, scheduled hours, overtime, PTO, benefits, etc. I felt relieved to finally have a "job." What a big bunch of BS! I was "hired" ...

There is much speculation about the field of transcription - how many of us actually plan to be here 5 years, 10 years, 20 years from now. I realize that the field is going to change, which will contribute to your answer. Will there be enough transcriptionists/editors to fill the need in 5 years and in 10 years? Will the industry be forced out of offshoring because of taxes? Will there be a need even for editors if VR gets better? These are all unanswered questions, but my question is, what ...

Hello there!I am new around here.I have been considering training as a MT for some time now. I was looking at colleges that offer this program such as Everett College in WA.I went to a seminar this weekend and met a lady named Deborah Burns who has written "Medical Transcription from A to Z" This is a do at home training course that some of the colleges use. It is significantly cheaper than the 9 month college certificate. AND she stated that if you do well enough on the assignments, you ...

Lately, I've been getting legal notices mailed to my home from I believe the east coast somewhere informing me of a class action lawsuit against M*Modal and inviting me to joint if I have a claim. I don't think I have a claim, but then again with all the shady practices in this business, I'm not so sure. I'm just curious what the heck is going on. Anyone care to give me the lowdown? ...

This board is full of so many negatives about Medquist. Can anyone tell me anything GOOD about Medquist? TIA ...

Noticing today that I am doing a LOT more typing than editing. Hoping this is NOT the new trend. Also, whole paragraphs added that were not dictated. It just keeps getting more and more complicated. ...

Nuance is doing YOU, the MT, no favor when they say they willl pay the minimum wage. They are REQUIRED by federal law to pay you the minimum wage based upon your state's minimum wage rate. If you think that you will drop below minimum wage because of #s of reports sent to QA, errors, or whatever, understand by federal law, Nuance has no choice but to pay up, they cannot skirt it. It is s a federal law! There are a lot of erroneous posts on here. Please do your ...

Gait was a bit unsteady on tandem, but was not diagnostic on the straight away gait ...

I never intended to be back with MQ, but they bought the company I work for. Now do I understand correctly that since I've been gone MQ has eliminated ALL bonus and/or incentive pay? ...

Got new accounts for the last 2 weeks that are not ASR (yet) so have been doing about 90% straight typing. I have been averaging about $20 more per day than when I do ASR. They can sell whatever snake oil they want, I can type faster and make more money straight typing than I can with their much-touted fabulous ASR --- EVEN ON BRAND NEW UNFAMILIAR ACCOUNTS. ...

Hyphen or no hyphen? I am finding both ways. Thanks for any help! ...

I was wondering if any of you are transcribing straight into EMR and if you are, how does that work? How different is it to standard MT? Do you use it in conjunction with VR? Do you work for a large or small hospital, clinic, or physician's office? Specialty? Anything else I forgot to ask? LOL ...

I'm just a tad embarrassed but I need to ask. I just applied for a job that is "straight typing" but I don't know what that means. Can anyone help me? Thanks. ...

I have been considering going to Andrews to become an MT for and I have never done it because I get on these boards and get scared to death! I have worked in the Medical field for 13 years (as a clinical tech and surgery....included in that is some limited transcription and scribing). I now stay home with my kids. I have one in school and the other in pre-school. I would love to be an MT because I love the medical field and I would love something I can do from home. I do not expect to get rich. ...

I'm looking to transition from being an employee to an IC postion. I've been offered 8 cpl for straight transcription. Is this the new going rate, or should I hold out for more? I've got about 9 years of experience. Thanks! ...

Does anyone know of a company that is hiring for straight transcription? My job recently changed over to speech recognition and my pay has been cut almost in half because of it. ...

I used to work there for approx. a year or so, before it really went down the toilet. I believe that sheer GREED set it and that's when it went downhill. Although I no longer work there, I have kept contact with some pretty reliable people. There are "100s" who are on the books to work; however, they work when they want, IF they want - there is absolutely no consistency to schedule or hours or days, nothing. Thus, the need to have that many people; the HOPE that someone will be working ...

Wondering how many lines you are able to do per hour. I have not done only VR editing before and am not sure I can make enough $ at it. TIA your replies. ...

Are there any transcription companies out there that still use straight transcription that are hiring? ...

I am currently straight typing and hate it, so I'm looking for a VR job with some straight typing thrown in every now and then. Thank you! ...

Okay, I need some straight-up serious opinions, no bashing. Does anyone like VR? Whille it may be wonderful for the MTSOs and the physicians, is it good for us? Does it really up productivity while reducing repetitive physical strain? Because I'm not feeling it. I don't like jazz music. I don't enjoy the discordance. This is what VR feels like to me. There is no flow, no rhythm, you start and stop, start and stop. The critical thinking aspect that is so vital to ...

Hi everyone. I am putting in applications and I want to apply at jobs with straight typine, no VR. If anyone knows of any, please let me know. The VR is boring and while none of them pay the way they used to, I know that I could make more on straight typing...I have 9 years experience. ...

Are there any accounts at Nuance that are straight typing and not VR? I find with VR I still have to make so many corrections it doesn't justify the pay per line so I might as well go back to straight typing, if those accounts even exist anymore. ...

horrible ESL accounts, horrible teaching facilities with residents who don't know how to dictate. By the time you get used to them, they're gone. I have been insulted by taking an enormous pay cut for the over rated, under performing ASR. Through all of this, I have mostly been happy with my job. Now, however, I will finally say that I hate MQ. I hope they lose all their accounts to nice mom and pop people. I hope they go bankrupt and have to move in ...

A 12-second dictation interrupted secondary to .... orgasm Did they ever show this on ER? ...

Twenty-six years ago I had a part-time job on the side working for a local service in CA, and I was paid 6.5 cpl as an IC way back then. It's shocking to me that all these years later, the rate is still so low. ...

So, got my congratulatory e-mail from medquist today for working here for 18 years as of this month How ironic . . . I got that e-mail on the same day that I got the call from the Department of Welfare telling me that due to my low income (despite working full time) my kids are eligible for medical benefits from welfare! I even replied to my "congratulatory" MQ e-mail stating so! I know some of you will retort with "why stay?" but I have a disabled husband to take care of, ...

I wanted to take a moment to tell you all how grateful I was to find this board over a year ago. I was sitting there not understanding why I couldn't make any money, why I felt like a piece of crap about my abilities. Having this board, people who understand and validate my feelings made a huge huge difference for me. My last day is tomorrow. I got a medical records job. I'll work days, I'll have Friday and Saturday nights off again, ...
