BRILLIANT!
!
You are brilliant!!!!
I tried your idea and you were right. Everything is there if you use Internet Explorer. Thanks for helping.
Not exactly brilliant....
I just have a way of having things go wrong so often that I've gotten good at looking at the variables and guessing what's screwing me up this time. LOL I wish I could make a new career in that!
This one is brilliant!
LOL---You know what they say about brilliant minds:-) nm
according to 1 brilliant mind on here..
she does VR on fast forward only correcting important stuff to get her 400 lph or greater to make $$$$. for her, it's all about ka-ching. some people just can't be taught. does she not realize her initials go on the bottom of each and every one of those reports? Her QA is less than 97% and is only checked once a year!
Haha!! Brilliant move!!
I did the same thing once when I worked in-house. The cherry-picker ended up being written-up. That's the way it should be. The good employees should have a fair shake of things. Too bad people like sm will defend them. Yes, revenge is sweet LOL. Justice!
I actually have two real jobs with real benefits. sm
One is SoftScript at 10.5 cents a line, taxes taken out and PTO, insurance, the whole ball of wax. The other is a hospital work at home job, same scenario. They are out there.
AHIMA is not a regulatory body. I read da-nose and think it is brilliant.
Billing practices have long been an issue in this industry, but I guess I don't see where you are coming from on the impending regulation thing. It has been a long week for me and looks to be a longer weekend so my brain cells are a bit drained, lol.
are on to catch up.

It's a catch-22 sm
It can be pretty hard for people who need insurance (no spouse with good insurance, etc) to take a job (even if it is with a wonderful company) where the insurance is too expensive for them to afford until enough people come on board to get a lower group insurance. If you come from a company where you had insurance and can afford to keep it via COBRA until the company has enough people to participate in the group insurance, then maybe it can work out. However, if it takes too long, then you are in deep trouble because the COBRA only lasts so long.
Looks like OSI can't catch a break
Good catch on that - sm
I don't want to try out new and improved if the last was old and crappy.
Yes I an employee and I don't see any catch.
The majority of the companies do not reimburse LD/internet fees. They did loan me a C-phone for free, most won't supply or they rent them to you.
Doing away with my home phone and getting digital phone actually lowers my expenses, as my costs from BellSouth/AT&T were more than my digital line is, so I don't see that I'm out anything.
In the ads they clearly state you need ULD and they don't mention anything about reimbursement. They have been completely up front about it and you can make your choice, go with them or don't.
You still have today to catch up. nm
nm
Actually they are offering it, must be a catch, but they
xx
If you don't catch all the nonsense
nm
Did you catch the errors after you sent it
Or did the company call them to your attention?
You can always correct the errors and resend it, asking them to disregard the first submission if you caught the errors.
Thanks. Guess I need to catch up with the times. :-) nm

Catch up with the times. Unfortunately, MTSOs are in
For those who still need the personal one-on-one attention, they should go back inhouse or get their own accounts.
it's such a catch 22. Everybody wants cheap stuff yet
and get paid top dollar. You simply cannot have both. Not with the CEOs having million dollar salaries and all. because God forbid they make less than six figures. it's disgusting...
Sign on bonuses-What's the catch?
Hi. When a company offers something like a $1000 sign-on bonus in one of their classified ads, what conditions do MTs usually have to meet to actually qualify for just such a bonus, and if those conditions are met, how long does the MT usually have to wait for the bonus? I am personally not looking for a new job right now, but when I see those adds, I ALWAYS think - Yeah, right, what's the catch?
Horrid hours.. thats the catch SM
I have to wonder, what hourly rate are they setting you up for?
No, I did not catch the joke, thought you were serious
When you spoke of the labor board was wondering why contact them about this. Do you work doing VR or straight? I personally think 3 cents a line is ridiculous for VR. I make what I am satisfied with on VR because I find my platform easy, very good with ESLs BUT I do not think VR will take over completely. I have done VR now for about 7 years and you cannot just leave a machine to run and not check behind it sometime, such it is with VR.
funny, I catch this ad at top of screen
U.S. Based proofers? Kinda curious needing MTs to clean up the reports, geez
9.9 Cents / 65 Char. line
U.S. Based Proofers, Almost Inhouse 98.5% Quality, 24 Hour TAT

"Twisting the Knob" - right??? That's why it's so hard to catch them
include or exclude characters or letters to count.
Yep, my work is low this week too. Previouly, however, we could not catch it up. Is it all the ..SM
new hires, do you think? They haven't told me to take the day off or anything, but there are big gaps in my downloads. I love QT but it's times like these that make my eyes wander to the ads. Funny how when we're busy, I type faster, too. When it's like this, I just casually and nonchalantly go about typing during the day, getting up and down as I please, no hurry at all. Maybe I'll start looking at part-time supplements -- then if work runs really dry, I'l already have my foot in the door somewhere else.
We have been slammed with work and plaing catch up
doesnt make sense to me
No company name given. Now that's a shock. What's the catch?? I doubt the adminstrator will le
stay there anyway so you better apply before it gone LOL..I just don't feel gullible or vulnerable today..
Nope, not a catch. The only thing you need to do to qualify I think is have been there one year in
to be eligible. They pay like four weeks at full pay (your average weekly earnings) or eight weeks at half pay. Your choice. They strongly believe that it's the right thing to do.
Notice the "up to $2500" - sounds like a catch - be careful with this one
nm
I found Medrite to be slow -- would type and watch it try to catch up with me. sm
I went from 250-300 lph to 180-200 lph with it. Plus it has this spy stuff (I called it), where if you are gone longer than such amount of time, when you come back, you have to say why you were gone (it has things to choose from). I didn't care for it, but obviously some must.
Good luck! 
It's Monday. Everyone plays catch up on Monday. Give 'em
s
Not real sure - LOL!
Was with Atlanta, which is being closed 09/01. I think we are being sent to the Florida office.
Are they real?
Does anyone even hear back from them, I have 30+ years experience and did not even get a phone call last time they posted.
For real?
Can you please expound how you are doing it? How many lines per day do you produce? Are you doing hospital or clinic transcription?
How sad... no one no one uses their real name.
It's so much better to post anonymously whatever kind of crap you want. Thanks Rhonda for posting, sorry that these people have no class.
what???? Are you for real??? what is
with all the nastiness on your end?? I look at this board twice a week, and yes, I am busy - very busy - work weekends, work nights, work early mornings - but I do find time to look at this board just to stay in the loop.
It's probably for real......I got this too...sm
I posted this somewhere else, but we got a letter from an investment company we haven't used in over a year. They still have our very personal info and had a laptop disappear with thousands of their clients' info on it. We got a letter saying the same thing and we did enroll, even though we keep up with our credit info via the 3 major reporting agencies anyway. They're for real, I'm sure, so you'd probably be better off enrolling, but like I said earlier, if your identity is stolen, good luck trying to get Equifax or any of the others to believe it's not you ruining your credit. That really ticks me off, when companies are so incompetent as to have this info on a laptop that can be taken out of the building by anyone and then when it's stolen or whatever, act as if they're doing us a big favor by giving a free year to watch your credit. Gee, after one year you're on your own anyway, and they're not held one bit responsible for screwing your credit up. The companies who lose this info should be liable for any debts incurred by the customers or employees due to their negligence, then they would probably not be so flippant about it.
Get real!
All you had to do to get that information was to put *how to form a union* in your browser and click on search/go. Not exactly rocket science, is it? OK, the link gave you your next steps. Are you going to get off your dead rear and actually take any of them, or do you expect someone else to do that for you, too? You say you want a union but couldn't even take this simple first step by yourself. What are you going to do when the going gets tough? You really need to communicate with someone at SEIU or the AFL/CIO union of your choice to see if teleworkers can be unionized and just how you would go about doing that when you don't even know who works for the same company(ies) you do. You might get some interesting answers. I don't expect to see them posted, though. From what I see, your style is much more to let others *help* with the research while you put up smart-mouth posts bashing those who aren't interested in the little game you're playing *just for kicks*. I'm still betting you are as big a whiner as the ones you bash.
Real
They do expect you to work your schedule, normally an 8-hour shift, and they do monitor this. I have seen them advertise for split shifts (4 + 4)on some accounts, so maybe that is an option. I have never had a problem if I had to alter my schedule for a doctor's appointment, etc, but I don't do this very often.
I don't know anything specific about the Hem/Onc account. I think they have had it for at least 6 months (based on their ads), so I don't believe it is brand new.
When I was hired several years ago, I was told that everyone gets 8 cpl, no higher. Don't know if this is still the case or not. There is production incentive up to 9 cpl.
Overall not a bad place to work. I have been there for several years. I stay because I am used to my account and only work on one account, which is much easier to make $$ at. Management seems to have a high turnover rate, so have had some problems with different people telling us different things, but all in all, probably an average company.
I think you are right, no REAL way to be 100%. I think I am doing sm
more work than I used to and KNOW I am getting less lines. Wonder if Target is hiring??
Real MT
I'm a real MT for many, many years. I am not a company, a recruiter, a team leader, etc. I just want to find a good job. I work for one now that I had a good reference from from someone on this board, but it really doesn''t pay well and so I keep looking on occasion. I have worked for some of the companies people mention, Webmedx, Amphion, Transcript-USA, Edix and probably some I can't remember, and I have a different perspective of Webmedx and Amphion than other people say (not good,) but some people just rave about these places, and it makes me wonder who is actually answering on this board. People raved over TT; not it seems they aren't so hot. Just be honest. If you are a true MT, just be honest about it. We don't want anyone else saying a place is great if it isn't. God knows there are plenty of lousy places as is it so if it's lousy, don't say it's wonderful.
Let's get real here. For example: (sm)
Patient A's orthopedic surgeon not only kept her out of a wheelchair at a very young age, but saved her life in the process as well. While conversing during a post-surgery office visit, he asks Patient A her occupation. She replies, I am a medical transcriptionist. He says, For what company? Patient A says, For a US National. He says, All our dictations are sent to India.
Question: Does anyone reading this REALLY think that because Patient A's dictations are typed overseas/India/or Jabip for that matter, that Patient A will find herself a new orthopedic surgeon because of that fact? I mean, let's get real here. This should be a no-brainer!
Apply this same type of scenario to: cancer patients still alive, HIV patients diagnosed 20 years ago and still alive, ESRD/transplant patients still alive, etc...SHALL I GO ON???
Are you for real?
Are you actually saying that you bring home over 2400.00 every 2 weeks. I have very serious doubts about that.
real pay day
since i have no idea who you are, i will only say that i personally sent an email to every cardioscribes transcriber explaining cut-offs and pay dates. in case you didn't get it, pay dates are 7th and 22nd. hopefully this will help your situation. also, if indeed ou are planning on leaving soon, it would be nice to have that information in advance. thanks.
for real?
So you don't even work there? Then what you do care? For real. What concern is it of yours. Leave those of us that are happy here alone. If you don't work there, then you were not on this alleged call and did not hear anything said.
are you for real?
I guess when the IRS is making your tax form due on the monday after the 15th there's some big conspiracy.
Geez Louise, some of y'all need to get a life!
REAL MTs don't look the other way
when confronted with cherry-pickers. My guess is this fake-MT is a cherry picker herself. Thanks for the dose of common sense. Only idiots defend cherry-pickers so vehemently while insulting the good MTs who are sick of it.
Is This For Real (nm)
.
Not real name
smarter than that.
