After working for MQ for nearly 5-1/2 years, I'm finally leaving. The first 5 years were great! Then they decided to force QAs to do transcription and ASR. If I wanted to transcribe I would have applied for an MT job. Not to mention the fact that I was making close to $16 an hour and now this has been reduce to around $11 and sometimes under $8. It's MQs loss. It's too bad they don't treat their valuable employees better. I just love ...
I'm giving notice that I'm quitting very soon! I made good money until the last year or so and I'm leaving this job that I find boring and lonely (and now doesn't even pay well). I'm going to be working for a doctor as a scribe and getting paid per hour! Woo-hoo!! The pay is not great but at least I will be out of the house and doing something a little different. I will have human interaction too! I'm burnt out beyond belief, ...
You know I am no longer with MQ. I did not pass the audit and honestly I really did not care to. I have figured out why bother. Why kill myself for short checks. I have worked with them for 12 years and I feel so free right now.
I also am working for another company on the side so that helps :)

Judging from some of the recent posts below, there looks to be an exodus of sorts from MModal and MT in general. I have joined that group.
I left MModal last month to pursue another at-home job NOT IN MT with flexible schedule, hourly pay, and pays substantially more than what I made at MModal. Don't know what took me so long to "take the plunge" away from MT. After many years of MT with 12 of those years being with Medquist/MModal and the last 7 on the same accounts, I already miss the wo ...
FINALLY! I have finally managed to get out of MT permanently. I'll have to drive 30 minutes each way to work, but I will have the same shift I had working at home only for a guaranteed hourly wage! What an amazing Christmas present!
Good luck to all of you who are trying to escape. ...

I have been using Nortons, but keep having problems. I really don't want to spend more money since I just paid $70 for this and it is giving me problems.
Thanks ...
So I finished my MT course and began to look for work..It is going well other than I was contacted by, for now I will just say a company, I transcribed some audio files (not medical, which I found odd when she contacted me but okay) took me several hours, met the deadline, filled out the W9 form (with social security number) and sent it off. We had two seperate phone calls.
She e-mails me that once the report goes through the proofing process and their system that I will get the repor ...
Woohoo! Got the job offer today. At long last I am out of transcribing. I feel such relief I cannot even believe it. No more production pay at poverty rate. No more frustration of broken promises.
For those of you staying, I really do hope the latest promises of hearing you and making changes will be kept.
And for those of you who keep saying quit whining and do something about it if you are unhappy, venting doesn't mean we aren't doing anything ab ...

Hi from Australia on Australia Day. Only new at this MT at home business. Struggling to get my line count up. In all honesty it would take a few months to add in enough shortcuts to make it worthwhile. I have been racking my brain over how to get those two spaces at the end of a sentence for free. Finally it has come to me. We all need to do an autotext incorporaing the last letter of a sentence and the first letter of the following sentence ie I saw Liz ...
Having a bad job is worse than no job, so I quit. Nuance, a place with great expectations and a low-ball salary. In fact it is the lowest wage job I have ever had with little to no benefits. Can you imaging the smile on my face right about now. Yes, yes, yes, I am free and singing a happy tune! ...
Yay, I just landed a new job away from this wretched place! I posted my resume on the resume board and got a call out of the blue - perfect match for me and my experience and them and their needs. I start very soon and could not be happier. I just wanted to let you all know to keep trying, your perfect match will come to you too. I wish for you all to feel the way I do right now, and it has been a long time since I have had this joy for work again. I bid you all a g ...
I finally did it...found a good, well-paying job outside of the MT world after 15 years! I felt bad giving no notice to my supervisor b/c I really like her, but I can't really feel bad for MM, the company itself....after the drastic cut in pay since voice rec, outsourcing, running out of work, all the demands on perfection and the crappy dictators, I feel like a giant weight has been lifted! ...
Can anybody suggest an inexpensive medical spellchecker program? I have Stedmans 2008 on my "other computer" which quit working earlier this week, won't be fixed til next week. had to get an inexpensive replacement today so I can work -- can't afford to be not able to work for that long and it will do as a backup in the future. Apparently Stedmans does not "service" the 2008 edition anymore and I can't load it on this computer because they don't do the activation, etc., st ...
Does anyone out there know of a toll-free MT helpline? I find it easier to talk to someone directly about a specific thing I'm looking for rather than wade through forums and replies. Any help would be appreciated. ...
Does anybody here have any experience with the free download of Express Scribe and if it will play .dss files? I would also appreciate any thoughts on which of the "free" transcription software programs are "really" the best.....Thanks for your help! :) ...
Hi guys,
Do you happen to know any free text expander compatible with Windows 7?
Would appreciate it very much if you could help me with this.
Thanks.

Will someone help me in finding a free player besides Express Scribe (my free trial has run out)I can use when I am testing for companies? I am looking for a job and do not want to purchase anything right now.
TIA! ...
My shorthand stopped working, I tried to rename my file like changing a letter like the instructions said, but nothing works. I now need something very quickly to help me out with work today. Is there anything that is easy and quick and simple that you all know works well with windows? ...
Help. My self-esteem is in the basement. What do you do when you are doing your level best and still not achieving the 100% error free work required? I feel no one can do it. I quit as I was doing my very best..... What would you do? Since errors were never recorded in a percentage type review I have no idea what I did wrong? No feedback was included just told "little mistakes" - so I am guessing an a, the or an error in punctuation. My last ...
After 2 weeks or so it wants you to buy the Pro version. It has always been FREE!!
I had to change computers and thus had to download it again and now after 6 weeks of multiple downloads, it won't let me set up the foot pedal... says I must buy it
Any ideas out there? Or other freebies that work as well? ...
