Unfortunately, most of America doesn't even know medical transcription even EXISTS, or what it is, let alone read MT Stars or other similar websites or blogs. If this letter (or something similar) were to be published in the Opinions section of a major newspaper like the NY Times, LA Times, etc., maybe it would help to begin a discussion in this country that it's time to end the practice of REWARDING big companies for taking American livelihoods away.

No VR yet. I have not seen a published
line rate, but they pay better than most. They are planning a transition to VR, will pay hourly rate for a time and then switch back to a line rate. I have not heard any numbers for the line rate.
Where is that published? Need PROOF!

Very eloquent. Count me in.
I spoke to a chapter representative today. This is finally happening and I couldn't be more proud.
Yours was one of the most eloquent, spot-on, and
to-the-point posts I've ever read on MT Stars. Every sentence, every typed character --- DEAD-ON ACCURATE!
I think every MT supervisor, hospital CEO, current MT, new MT, wannabe MT, nurse, doctor, patient, and elected official should read these words and take them to heart.
I think your talent with the written word is wasted in this profession.
Oh good grief. They just published their financial reports and
are 100% OUT OF DEBT. They can't file bankruptcy if they don't owe anyone!
It's part of their digging their way out.
You're grapevine must be in the imagination or just another speculator like yourself.
How ridiculous.
Where in my post is the word (sm)
liar? You've gotta be a novice at this gamble; cause that's exactly what it is....sometimes you win, but more often times NOT!
Give it a few weeks...then tell me you're not running out of work. They ALL operate the same. You just don't get it. WE are the peons. We don't pay WebMX hefty amounts of money for promised 24-hour TATS. We just get the crumbs that they occasionally care to leave over so we and our families don't starve.
Thank you, Carlotta, for your eloquent dissertation regarding MDI, D, and its liaisons. - VLM
As my liaison, I do hope that your message is read without the cynicism that probably has been ingrained in those working for other companies & those currently disillusioned with MDI.
I met D years & years ago,& her bubbly personality & values made you love her immediately. Her #1 concern is for the MT - a trait that is now totally unheard of in our profession & is beyond comparison - period end!! I also met CT, MD, at the same time, who also dedicated her knowledge & expertise solely for the benefit of the MT - now also with MDI.
Having been with MQ for upteen yrs.,& having previously had to turn down an invitation to join MDI yrs ago due to health reasons,I did not think that D would ever reconsider me for a position with MDI. To my dismay, she welcomed me with open arms!!
Anyone who has been an MT for any length of time, knows that workloads decrease over the holidays. If that situation would ever to continue for a period logner than I expected with MDI, I wouldn't hesitate to contact my liaison & let her know of my concern. The communication I have had with my MDI liaison & tech support,& response time has been absolutely phenomenol - I'll swear they work 24/7.
One great perk everyone seems to be overlooking is that of being a SE with MDI. I have flexibility not offered nor embraced by other MTSO's. If there is no work at a certain time, I can log on at another time. I don't have a set in stone schedule, set hours, and will always be open to Let's make a Deal. I don't know of another company offering those options to its MTs.
I think the problem with disconcent has arisen from those not familiar with the structure of Signal from years ago,& the feeling of family & caring that it created, now carried over into MDI.
Too many MTs have not experienced a company based on MDIs values & integrity, & don't believe that one still exists!!
Sorry for going on and on, but I'm just so ecstatic to be working with a company that cares. If need be, I will go out of my way to see to it that our company succeeds and,in turn, know they will return such to me doing all that they can to ensure my workload and meet my expectations.
I was careful to word my post
so as to show it was not a done deal. Used the word sniffing to indicate interest. I have no absolute proof but thought the MTs deserved a heads up. The practice of ambushing workers with mergers and takeovers is just another show of absolute disrepect for us.
seriously - how did you get the word illegal out of that? post does not say tha anywhere;
nm
what is that comma doing after the word it in your post?
NM
Just because Stephanie is eloquent and not spouting negativity doesn't mean she isn't an MT.
She is just an MT who doesn't subscribe to your doom and gloom attitudes.
When I use the word "you" in my post, I am not referring to you specifically but
all the posters on this board.
Last word here - People here need to read a post correctly
I never told HER to suck it up. Why don’t you read postings correctly. Can you not make a distinction between me saying I JUST SUCKED IT UP as telling about my vacation and you saying something entirely different? What is the matter with the posters here? I am outta here for the afternoon. Everyone have a good time.
The platform is Word. Their program works with Word but does not change how Word works. nm
The benefits just changed the first part of this month. I don't have them but I remember them being reasonabl for a single person. Family and spouse was not reasonable in any way (in my opinion).
small to medium company that works in Word or Word-based program - email me. nm
nm
ExText is integrated with Word. Auto correct is a part of Word.
ExText is a Word based platform. When the page opens for you to type the document it will be just like you are typing in MS Word.
anyone work for Oracle - do they use Word or a Word-based program - e-mail me nm
nm
Just wanna work in Word - need company that works in WORD! nm

Their program works with Word and does not change how Word functions. sm
You use your own expander. Overall I feel it is user friendly and I like it.
Does the Emdat platform use Word or is it Word-based? nm

Word for Word Medical Transcription
Pros and cons please.
In his ad, he's asking for Word Perfect, not Word, if that matters. nm
s
The platform is not Word, but it is Word-based. I
had little Word experience and the recruiter told me to try to find a book to learn the basics of Word as their program is Word-based.
Now I wish they would just call me back......no word no word and
What is up with these MT companies that advertise. They don't even answer. I have a great resume, tons of experience. I'm confused.
word for word company
does anyone know about word for word transcription company? how are they to work for, platform? thanks in advance!
I was told I could use word pad since I don't have word
I have 1 computer to speak of that I did not buy personally. the company has their own platform and their own computer to be rented. I would not be typing in word. I have never had a problem testing this way before. I am not saying certified is better. I was explaining my circumstance. I have my own personal computer ordered for my use and I wanted to test fast without waiting. geez.
My post should say the post above not the post below, Sheryl's post to be specific. nm
nm
"overtime" is not a generic word. "incentive" is a generic word. Over time means time

It's a "fishing" post. Same post a few days ago with numerous errors

Read Spherson's post below, who admits, in the post, they do pay it.

Peachy, your post is interesting, but my post now is irrelevent but
A few weeks ago I went to my clinic where they had recently implemented EHR or EMR, whichever you call it, and the doctor's back was to me the whole time he and I conversed because his nose was stuck in his laptop. To me, it felt a little more impersonal, but I understand he was doing what he had to do, but it seems like the bedside manner may go to the wayside if the doctors can't even look at you when they are asking you questions or you are speaking to him/her. I know this is relevant to your original post, but just an interesting fact that I had not anticipated. Anyone else experience this?
This is why I NEVER post my cpl. I'll post the range of
what the company pays, but NEVER what I make. I know that I make more than probably 70% of the people there, because they know I produce a client ready report and that I can do anything they throw at me. We don't have levels, but I guess if we did I'd be at the highest level. Telling how much you make isn't so bad, but when people know what company you work for and then what you make that isn't a good combination. The ONLY people I have ever discussed what I make with, are my husband and my MTSO owner. Talking about your salary/pay is enough to get your fired in lots of companies.

One post was another "run" type of post and the
the recruiter. Once you are in with the company, the recruiter has nothing to do with you or your job. I want specifics about problems with THE JOB, not the recruiter. Specifics such as no or late checks, line counts being messed up, no work, taking bennies away with no explanation. Things that matter, not the recruiter.
In Word..
Select the tools menu and then Autocorrect. Then check the box next to capitalize First letter of sentences.
Are you using Word? sm
If you are using Microsoft Word you can change the background to something that suits your eyes and the text to a lighter color.
One word - RUN!!!!
Owner is not all there, if you know what I mean. There are better places to work. Let them hire overseas. Perhaps those workers will put up with their garbage treatment.
Everything is done in Word
plenty of samples though, and she pays per gross line, not 65 characters.
Word
I have Word 2003 and it works just fine
A (only one word)
nm
One word? Looks like 6 to me.
nm
word for word
I worked for them and they can be fair, which is hard to find these days with others. I was a new MT and they gave me a chance that no one else would consider doing. good luck
Same here...no word nm

The new word for lay off.
The new word is idle, used as a verb. I doubt that the MTs will remain idle for long. What terrible writing, and what a terrible deal for MTs. I wonder whether Ormond will be happy when people from another country are transcribing his family's medical records.
Meanwhile, the company issued a federal layoff notice this week that it will idle 102 workers in its Heartland Information Services medical-transcription unit. Seven employees are in Toledo. A company spokesman said the cuts will occur in early July.
Toledo Blade.
Still no word.....sm
Patience is not one of my greatest virtues! lol Anyway, if someone gets a response from Editors Wanted, could you email me please? Thanks! 
Take MY word for it, -
I simply must disagree...
