Did you ask for a copy of the test?
Just curious.
I would request a copy of the test
to review and learn from. I'm not saying that you did make any mistakes, but it would be easier to think that if the company is not willing to provide you with that. I would definitely want a copy for my own knowledge.
Does OSi do a phone test?
I applied with them, tested, and had a phone call from them that I need to return. I'm so nervous, though, because I am really not great on the phone and collapse under pressure. I do a great job as an MT because I'm just here at home on my computer, and all of my talking is usually via e-mail and IM, which doesn't give me a chance to get nervous. Any heads up to what it's like with OSi would be appreciated.
IMO I would rather have a verbal test on the phone
than one of those two hour web tests before you talk to the company only to find out you passed with flying colors and they offer you 6 cents a line.
I took over a week for them to get back to me, and I took a test over the phone, but that was SM
several years ago. Dont now about now.
Does Diskriter still have a 2 hour test over the phone? sm
I remember last year when I was interested in them the HR lady said the test was over the phone and was 2 hours long?! Is it still like that?
Yep, oral test. They ask you questions over the phone.
Seems weird to me.
I got 100% on the phone interview, and thought the on-line test was easy, but they still didn't h

Neither. You can copy into Word but cannot copy back into Emdat.

I did that, wasn't printed. It seems like we are the only ones who care.

Again I say, was that from dictation or the printed word? nm

I have the above in printed info that the recruiter sent me before testing, which I did NOT take. nm

Mine wasn't worth the plastic it was printed on.
It says it's activated and there's a balance available but it's been declined every time I try to use it.
To my own knowledge, it is less, B&W character is just the actual printed out characters..sm
that appear on the page, NO SPACES, etc, so it could really add up, I have never taken a jot with those specs, perhaps someone out there doing this could say how they made out? But I have talked to recruiters about some of these jobs and it does seem to lower the line count.
This post will be printed and put on my bulletin board!! Brava!!....nm

It means characters that are printed in black and white - no spaces included. nm

A friend's printed offer said 6-8.5 cpl with CMTs making more. Don't know about shift diff. or

Usually a spelling test, a punctuation test, and maybe 3-6 test files to do. Sometimes done using

Keystrokes accounts all count the expanders as characters printed with spaces, not the abbreviation.
I have checked it, but we use Shorthand. What are you using?
Worked on C-phone for 10 years with 1 phone line
nn
C-phone - I purchased a c-phone from someone in Oklahoma but never got it. *sm*
First she told me her grandmother died. Then she told me she mailed it. Then she told me her daughter was having chemotherapy. Call me naive, but I thought she was sincere and cannot imagine anyone using their daughter as an excuse. If this is the same person from Oklahoma, I sure would like to know about it because now I want my money back.
I don't have a second phone line ... cable modem for the internet, regular line for my C-phone.
If anyone wanst to get through to me while I'm working, they have my cell phone number.
And, as I said, some accounts are using wav files -- no doubt soon all of the accounts will convert. Hope so ... would make it easier (less expensive) to work when traveling. :-)
Lots of good companies out there -- hope you find one that fits :)
I took a test for a company and my foot pedal would work with the test and I had keep going back
over the dictation time and again to get all the words because I couldnt stop and start it by the foot pedal. What can I do about this.
Just took the test myself. No actual dictation to transcribe. Just a written test.
For 13 cpl, I might do it if the dictators aren't a total horror.
I just took the test today - thought it was a great test of MT skills.

There is no written test. Must have been a different company. I took their ortho test sm
and it was easy. You had to know your terminology but it was easy to understand AND I used my foot pedal.
You will not be able to copy those from a MQ
computer. Believe me, I tried EVERYTHING! My husband is a computer whiz and said they have some kind of lock on their system that you cannot copy or transfer to another computer, sorry, but like me, you'll just have to redo your expander, I know it's crap, but you'll make yourself crazy trying to copy it, cause it just won't happen.
copy typing
What exactly is copy typing? Just curious. Thanks
Copy and Paste....
I have a few of my own standards in MS Word that I will copy and paste into Meditech, but I find the tabs do not translate over to Meditech. Do you have this problem as well? It is aggravating because I have to fix these when I go back to the Meditech screen 
Look at the copy of the fraudulent
resignations email that you received:
WHAT is written in From:......?
WHAT is written in
TO:..... ?
Doesn't this give you a clue?
Can't you use this as evidence that it is a fraudulent email, NOT sent by you???
thanks for the copy and paste--sm
but latest and related are not the same thing. all I am seeing are posts that were placed after mine and nothing in relation to the original post questioning the company. sorry again.
C-Phone = Connexions Phone
Dictaphone is a company and one of their many products is a C-Phone.

copy and past into address bar. nm

Very interesting. I am going to copy this and save it. nm

copy/paste is against the rules.. we were
from the onset to NEVER EVER copy and paste. If you are doing this you should stop it soon before they figure it out and you get in trouble.
I'd ask to see copy of occup or county...nm
I'd like to see a copy of a letter sent to clients ...
The letter would explain to the client/doctors that MTs work from homes all over the country and we may not know the names of streets, towns, landmarks in their communities. The letter would explain how docs and MTs could both save time if the doc would move his/her lips when speaking, and would speak at a reasonable volume and pace -- not super-fast, and not stop and go while shuffling papers and talking on cell phones. The letter would describe (in a sweet, informative way, of course) that MTs are real human beings and that dictation is not transcribed by magical machines on the other end of the phone line. And then, I'd like to hear all the docs say, Thank you at the end of their dictations and say, If there's anything that I can do to improve my dictation technique, please let me know, and actually mean it!
Maybe they can supply you with the right copy of word.

Do you have a copy of the BOS to follow for format, etc.? nm

If I had to copy & paste my IM to an email...
...because I needed a conversation documented, I would do it. I would find a way. Even if I had to get a disposable camera and take a couple of darn pictures of the computer with the IM on it. LOL! 
By the way, what happens if you doin't respond to the IM? Are you an employee with the co? No co. would make me do IM, but that's me. What is the co. so concerned about that they don't want something documented in email???
Copy Meditech to PC Shorthand (sm)
I am new to Meditech. Could someone please tell me how to copy, for example, and whole paragraph such as physical exam into PC Shorthand? Thanks very much!!!
Freelance copy writer here - sm
$25-$45 an hour or per project. It isn't steady but it pays for the extras!
Should I attach or copy and paste
the questionnaire and resume into an email when sending them back to Webmedx? No preference was given.
WHY NOT MAIL THEM COPY OF FEDERAL....SM
and labor board guidelines regarding employment of independent contractors and the difference between IC and employment status. They cannot have it both ways...have their cake and eat it, too. They don't want to pay taxes, Soc Sec, and benefits for MTs.....but they still want the same control over the MT . Same mentality of most MTSO's....insulting our common sense & intelligence bec. they've soooooooo smart and we're are, collectively, soooooooo dumb!
I am currently using it. I type in MSWord, copy
and paste in Meditech. One must be very careful to watch the Meditech screen to be sure you are pasting the right report. I especially like doing it this way because my Expander works with Word, and if for some reason the internet connection is lost, I do not lose my report but just re-paste when connected again.
I hate Meditech..there is too much to be entered before you ever get to the text screen, all of which we are not paid for. It demands a high rate per line. Otherwise, you work yourself to death and face applying for food stamps if the Meditech account is the only one you are transcribing. I would say 15 cpl is a minimum to get to break even...to break even!
forward a copy to the big boss

actually perfect copy is correct.

copy of fraud resignation
I have a screen shot copy of the fraudulent resignation that the team leader took the initiative to email to me. I don't have a copy of the original fraudulent resignation email that was sent to the account manager, but I sure wish I had, as I learned through Yahoo Fraud Division the following. For instance, I email a person, not forwarded, just they receive my original email. If you go to the very bottom of that email, in the right lower corner, click on Full Headers. Now go back up to the top of the email and what do you see....You will now see the IP address. That IP address tells a lot about the sender. Hmmm, do you think All Type would insist ***** do this since she is the one who received the fraudulent resignation? Would save a lot of legal headaches. I think I shall request that, but something tells me I will not receive a response.
could you quickly copy and paste your document into another? then
you could just keep adding on the lines in each document to your own master document for the day. Then you would have a line count for the day. I bet you could write a macro to do this.
If there is anyone higher up, send them a copy with a complaint.
If the person who sent it is the last buck in that company, send a reply along with the original message telling them to cease an desist harassing you and that if anything else like that happens again you will be taking appropriate action to ensure it will not happen again. Print out/save your copies. Then, call the office and tell them the same either to their face or the next person in line. Tell them you are making a note of the call, who you talked to, what was said and why. Do not partake in any harassment in return, do not sink to their level. Plainly tell them to stop or steps will be taken. Doesn't really matter to anyone here what was said or why. If you feel you are being harassed you need to handle the situation calmly and promptly.
Good luck.
I had the same thing happen and I asked for a copy
of the test and was told they couldn't mail it to me. Which makes no sense at all since the document was in Word and all they had to do was Email me the corrected version.
