thank you, XanaX
I have decided not to take that job. Maybe it's time to get out of MTing altogether as all the companies nowadays seem to be disreputable. Is there no company out there like it used to be????
Take your Xanax
First off I stated I do not read these boards but about once a month, and only then new posts, recent stuff going on. Again, sorry I did not pick the exact day this company had bad posts. What I did state was that I was looking around and found this site advertised in my local paper, and then I said I had no interest in the company for myself (which was because they only seemed interested in training newbies). I only passed on the info to the newbies on this board to be HELPFUL. THEY are totally responsible for doing their own research/homework on any company listed on this board, not me. That probably means searching the archives, checking BBB, etc. I do NOT do homework for others, I only put out the possible lead. If I were to do this for everyone before I post, I would have a business of my own wouldn't I?? I am in no way recommending this company. Show me where I was doing that in my post. Bottom line, I have no due diligence to anyone on this board as far as backing up what I post. I openly stated I knew nothing about this company, meaning what? Yep, exactly. DO YOUR HOMEWORK. See if I ever try to pass on any info again, whether helpful or not!
Actually from your post it sounds as if YOU were scammed by TransSCAM! LOL, sure does since you are so passionate about it. Sorry you were scammed, if you were....
prozac is not XanaX
Thanks for the credit, but there are more than one of us out there who were treated unjustly at FN. If the truth hurts--- Me think thou doth protest too much.
I agree with Xanax
I started work with VTS 2 weeks ago and they have been great. It seems like a very good company to work for. I was off 100% QA in just over a week.
Why should I take a Xanax in the middle
of the DAY when I am working?
Xanax is to be taken before 'crawling' into bed, it makes you fall asleep. Do you still not get it?
OMG, are you taking Xanax in the middle of the day when you are supposed to MTing? I bet you fall asleep in the middle of the day and then you cannot sleep during the night. Then you take another one, oh me oh my, you do not even follow doctors' instructions.
And one should definitely NOT DRIVE after having taken XANAX, it makes you drowsy and abstain from alcohol.
All things you do not know!
Scary!
READ THE LABEL ON THE BOTTLE!
Wow! This is toooooo much!
Xanax - I was told even if I forget to put QA
hold on, my settings were set to 100% QA. I have not worked for them in about 2 weeks and do not intend to do any more with them, but my friend is still there and V just sent them an note stating that they no longer will be on 100% QA, but she was on for 15 months.
Good grief, take a Xanax.

You have to be suspect of this one!
Nothing in the whole thing is unusually great -- the only time we sit up and do something like is when there is a big plus out of the ordinary - seems like we could find this anywhere, lol
I SO hear you.. I'll contact Ms. Xanax for you.
.
Don't think she gets it, she is just so uptight about Xanax...give her a few more years...sm
then she might actually relax enough to understand when a joke is made and not go off the deep end. The really sad thing is, this is not the only board she has made the Xanax comments about. Get real Jan, or maybe it's mar, that's who she reminds me of.
I suspect you are the same poster from sm
yesterday with all the anger and craziness in all your posts. What you just posted is SUPER passive-aggressive. You really do need to get professional help--maybe not with that poster's ex-husband, but with someone.
Typical of mentally ill - they focus on something completely irrelevant when someone asks them to get help.
I suspect you are correct about
not all VR platforms are created equal just like all platforms for straight MT are not created equal. My guess would be that either the platform you mention as being the best will take over the marketplace or the others will manage to get their platforms up to par. Once that happens though I could venture a guess as to what will come next.
I'll place a call to my buddy Ms. XanaX.
.
Thank you, I am young. Do NOT drink alcohol if you take Xanax, dummy..
MT advanced to a recruiter, LMAO !
What is a keylogger? And how what makes you suspect this?
xx
Makes me suspect an MTSO who wants to
know who may be job hunting, so strongly recommend a disposable e-mail address for reply.
What is KS? If it is who i suspect..let me know and I"ll infomr you.

I you work for my company, which I suspect you might, this seems
account and I am talking for a couple of years, adn did not need to ask for more work. Then slowly the work started being less and less for that particular account, and in fact, 2 of the work types were completely taken out of the pool - OPs that I did and never, never ran low on for one. I have had 7 new ones since October, now it seems to be settling into just 2 or 3 per week. If you want to work, there is no limit to how many you should do. It is confusing though and mistakes are being made I am sure of it, me included.
I suspect you're NOT out of the loop
I suspect you just hit a suspected nail right on the head.

I suspect you hit the nail on the head
Years ago when I entered the field (more than I care to admit), the MT was a commodity. Training programs were few and far between (my hospital was training their own since they couldn't find bodies). Now, not only do we have the Indians and other foreign entities and VR, but we also have MT schools on the back of matchbooks, late night TV commercials, and spam mail in our inboxes. Suddenly, millions of people are doing it which, as we all know, not only limits the work each person can get but also drives down the wage, as those of us who have been here a while can verily attest.
I don't think the MTSOs even staff in particular for TAT. I think that's just a bonus. It's much cheaper to pay two or three people part-time hours than have to pay one person benefits.
I suspect the owner of the MTSO felt
it was a good time to retire. If you Google Transcription Stat and Sausalito (where the MTSO at the root of the whole affair was located--interesting because the office used to be in downtown San Francisco and Sausalito was where Kim lived. Wonder if she was running it out of her home at the time the whole thing went down...), all you get is references to the UCSF affair so I suspect she is no longer in business. Didn't one article say her UCSF work totally dried up after that? That was her main account, as far as I know.
with 16 years I would suspect you to know the diff. between wave and waive?!?!?
nm
I would suspect that with the name Global in the title, its probably India...dunno though.

Sorry, but truly suspect it's like wondering which'll keep delivering milk by horse-drawn wago

express
I use express scribe with my INfinity USB pedal. My is totally compatible.
Transcription Express
Anyone have experience with this company out of Houston? TIA
Express Scribe
Does anybody know if earphones can be used with Express Scribe? I can't find any information about this anywhere. Thanks.
EXPRESS SCRIBE
had the same problem when I got my new computer. Easiest way is to take it from desktop, and you can drag it into escribe.
Do you have Express Scribe......

Transcription Express, Inc. ...
out of Arizona. Anyone have any information (good or bad) regarding this company? Thanks!!
Transcripition Express
I tested with them, very simple. That was going on two weeks now. For this one account I was checking on they paid 8 cents a line, no more. I used DocQScribe for testing and never heard back from them. I would have liked to heard back from them though regardless to see if I passed or failed. I was going to be typing ER reports. Good luck.
freedom to express
I agree with the above poster. If you can't vent to people who are in the field about your good or bad experiences, then this is not a democracy. Personally, I do keep a lot of mine to myself basically because I don't like dealing with negative people who will judge me. It stems from not having a very supportive family and not being able to express myself growing up. What is heaven for one is hell for another but either way, people need to express themselves and get it out.
In this profit-driven healthcare industry, MTs are under appreciated and in many cases abused by management and perhaps isolated and ignored by other MTs. We definitely need a support system and these forums are supposed to serve as a support system out of the work place where we can vent and hopefully be comforted by kind words. We work in an industry that refuses to acknowledge the fact that if it were not for us, they would not have jobs. We are the industry but many of us do not feel we have much clout in the way we are treated, i.e. coldly, indifferently and there-are-more-where-you came from attitude. Lets start cooperating instead of competing especially in the forums and let people have their say and try to embrace with kindness. We all need a pat on the back.

I second that nomination! I'd do it, but I do not express myself
eloquently enough and this issue is too important for it to be written in a way that might come across as abrasive or offputting, even though that would not be the intention.
I have been with QT since the beginning, have been
looking the past year. Every decent offer I've gotten comes from a company who offshores and I've turned it down because I don't support it. M did say there were working on something though back when we were getting the Friday e-mails.
I am beginning to think we all should
and then when we sit, like I did today for four hours with NO WORK, we can jump to the other account.
If they are going to over hire and spread out the work, our response should be similar in logic.
Probably - she has been there since the beginning.
nm
uh uh you never said that in the beginning..
stop confusing yourself
you just said it, right here, that's the beginning
of the end for the MTs.
AVR TO ITS PERFECTION.
DQS was the beginning of the end for me with MQ
That was the first sign of bad things to come for me. My line counts dropped quite a bit, then they added VR, and of course the cesspool soon after, which was disastrous. I went from making 25.00 an hour to maybe 10.00 if I was lucky. However, I did think it was a great platform, only problem was manipulating line counts.
DQS was the beginning of the end for me as well with MQ! nm

Has anyone used Express Scribe to take an on-test SM
test? I downloaded it, but I can't get the function keys to work. Any help would be appreciated. I am technically dumb! TIA
Those who applied at Transcription Express, sm
Has anyone heard anything back from Transcription Express? I applied on Sunday and have not heard anything and was just curious as to whether anyone else has heard anything. I have a lot of experience and thought I would at least receive the opportunity to test. I do realize, however, that with the number of views the ad has received, they are probably wading through tons of resumes. TIA
How to load Express Scribe
If you already haven't found out how to do it, save the files to a folder on your desktop, then go into Express Scribe, click on Load or load files (I don't have it on this computer, so am doing this from memory), then click Browse, then click on C drive, then click Desktop, click on the folder, then click on the files you want to load. In my experience, Express Scribe will only load a job if it has been saved in a folder. Hope this helps and good luck
Just feel the need to express my thoughts on VR, ASR, etc. ..sm
It is just tough to sit back and watch this evolve. I've been in this profession for many years now, and have watched voice recognition start to surface in some capacity years ago. It still is not where it needs to be, and I do not believe it will ever be as efficient as a skilled MT. Regardless, what really bothers me is that there are so many in this field being sucked in by these companies who are hiring for .03-.05 line of so called voice recognition editing when in reality you are basically typing the entire report over again, or taking just as much time as you would to type from scratch. The other scenario, in my opinion, these job offers being filled are simply to cover the incompetent work that comes in from overseas. Hire 100 Indian MTs and have a few good U.S. editors or voice recognition MTs who are willing to work for pennies, and what a profit you make as a company. I just wish more MTs would put their foot down and say enough. Let these large nationals lose their experienced MTs, and they will either fail as a company or up the pay scale for a qualified MT.
Transcription Express - Wisconsin
Does anyone have any information on this company?
Express Scribe does play that!(sm)
Not sure about Gear Player, but in open Express Scribe and go to settings, and then settings, and go to the tab files, and you should be able to check the box there. You can also go to the WMA file right click and select open with and then select your Express Scribe. Good luck on the test!
Are you talking about Express Scribe?
It's a little primitive, but it works well enough to take a test with.
Huh? I'm using Express Scribe v4.3 with Vista - nm
xx
I did download express scribe but sm
I may be doing something wrong. I can't open this file in anything but windows media and it goes directly to windows media. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?
BTW, why did you leave and do they pay on time?
Thanks
