Hi, eveyrone. I just started as an MT in Michigan, and I am going to be working from home fairly soon. I am moving back to New York for my music degree and transcribing in my free time. Problem: I have a very old laptop that is starting to fall apart. The keys don't always work and, although it is my baby, I can not keep using it for transcriptions. My boss had said he heard that we could write off a new laptop as an expense (much as flight attendants can write off their own laptops and mak ...

Has anyone heard of or worked for this transcription company? If so, what are your thoughts and more specifically on average how many billable monthly lines are available at this transcription company? Is the work steady or sporadic? Thanks in advance for your comments. ...
Does anyone know if there is a new rule in MQ land about never writing out the date, always making it numbers only? I get back reports every once in a while with all the written dates crossed out and replaced with numbers yet the CP does not specify either way.

I am going to complain to my manager about this but I was wondering maybe I missed a new rule. Tha ...

ASR: tachy fell axis
I am wiping the tears from my eyes on this one. What a stupid program. I swear it is written by the Indians. I had a wonderful English-speaking clear-as-day doctor yesterday, first name of Daniel, and the ASR did not get 75% of his dictation. It was just words and gibberish. It was a crying shame. That could have been a helpful tool in that instance. It should have been able to transcribe him perfectly and editing should have ...
In some sentances they say 5 out of 5 to muscle testing, sometimes 5 minus out of 5, or 4 plus out of 5. I am not allowed to use the + or - sign. I've got the 5/5, but is it correct to put 5 minus/5 or just type out 5 minus out of 5. ...
I'm drawing a complete blank. Is the proper way 3/4 cm, or three quarters cm, or 0.75 cm? Nothing in Google is helping me figure this out. It's throwing me math equasions to do and now I'm just confused. Any help is appreciated. ...
I now the pH scale, but I'm confused by what this doctor said.
"...her pH remained low at 717"
