What could be more appropriate for learning the ropes than learning how to spell? You are in for a

Learning
All of what you say is absolutely true. I probably also am one of the higher paid MTs around today and I don't do it making 6 cpl. I have continued to learn for the past many years and will continue to learn to the last day working out my notice, that's just me. I don't think MOST new MTs are ever going to see the day they will make $25/hour or even close to that. There are reasons other than money, and I don't care to post them, that I am leaving MTing for.............gourd painting.
Learning VR.....sm
If an MT with many years of experience on EXText and a variety of other platforms were determined to take a PT job to go ahead and learn VR, which would you think is the best platform to do that on, and which company would you recommend for doing that? Any and all information appreciated! TIA....
learning VR ?
If you continue to use your mouse tomake corrections, then there is nothing to learn.
But if you decide to use 'hot keys' or 'short cuts', then there is.
It is said that letting go of the mouse usage, will speed you up. I do not know if this has been proven yet.
I am a 'mouse' person and I just cannot let go of my 'mouse.'
I assume a lot of MTs are like that.
Maybe there busy learning their new
I think someone posted before that they were getting like 9 new accounts. So, maybe everyone is tied up and can't really take a coffee break. I'd be stroking those keys too if I was making 9.5 cpl (their starting rate per one post). I'm glad there's at least one company out there that pays well. I really don't think though that someone working there for only three months could really have anything bad to say. I think someone else posted that KS promises lower health insurance premiums soon so that is a good thing.
Any new account will be a learning
Just mix it in with your experience all around. You should be fine.
Learning curve
I'm not going to toot the speech making money horn, but I think it's a learning curve. I'm having a hard time giving up my mouse but still doing about 3 times the work and saving my wrists in the process. TT has offered a refresher course and paying us for taking it, I think that's not only smart on their part but good for TT MTs. Speech is here to stay and I need to suck it up and go with the flow, still too many years before I can retire.
VR learning i s a myth
VR is not taught by MT in most cases because it is *back-end* voice recognition program. VR can be taught by the dictator on *front-end programs but most docs don't care to spend the time doing it. After 1-1/2 years of doing VR, and being told it would *learn* over time, I found out that was a lie. I have brought to bosses' attention the same errors in docs' formats, the same errors in punctuation, numberint, etc, etc, as requested and nothing has changed. I just do the best I can, knowing that the platform/program I work on will never improve.
I'm with you. I'm willing to take a temporary dip in pay while learning, but MQ better leave

I love your posts - I'm learning from them...sm
Thank you again for taking the time to type this very informative post. These types of posts actually help many people, I do believe. Like you, I do all my own MTSO work and have not yet had to farm any out. My MDs are great in that they all pay me by the 15th of the following month. I pretty much demand that because the work is all back in their offices by the 30th or 31st of that prior month....so wanting to get paid by the 15th of the following month is reasonable. I am sorry for your delinquent client but my docs know I only bill out once a month and that cuts down on the billing part of being an MTSO.
What I HATE about being an MTSO....is all those receipts you have to keep all year long...but it's not the keeping of the receipts, it's the TAX PREP that we face within the next 6-12 weeks....oh what a mess that always is....not a mess - but so time consuming that I do hire someone to do that clerical stuff to get things ready for the TAX people......my daughter is the one I hire (and yep, I do pay her well to do that part of the work).
Again, thank you so much for your informative posts. Be well....
Too soon to really say. I felt I did okay the first day given the learning curve.
I am hoping my production will increase by at least 150-200 lines a day over the first few days and that should more than bring me up to speed.
I'd love to learning kickboxing
Are you in LA?
Learning curve? You mean to learn VR?
It was about 2 days for me, not much time. Is this what you mean?
IT has a looong learning curve. Am using it and you are right. I have to stop and think before ever
But, am picking up speed and accuracy is improving. It was either learn to use it or type everything out.
Thanks! Yes, I figure if I start out learning the hardest
it can only go up from here. My production is in the toilet though and being new, I have no idea how much of that to attribute to being new or having to rewind some ESL dictations a hundred times :(
Then provide samples and learning tools.
We are all only human. The doctor is supposed to be reviewing and signing these reports they dictate. Are they not? If they sign off a report that has an error, that then makes the dictating physician liable, not the MT. This docking for errors sounds like another scheme to make money off of hard-working MTs. tsk tsk
learning Escription/Edit Script
I work for Focus also and there is nothing hard about learning Escription---it is very user friendly. The test is learning the shortcut keys to become a faster editor. There is a website that comes with this platform that will teach you the shortcuts, plus there is a great forum board to learn from other MTs. I love the platform, but still working on speed.
Come on, learning correct spelling is important. No offense meant.

i work 3 part-time jobs now. it can be confusing if you are learning both at the same time, but sm
other than that not a problem for me. best to get one down before starting to other or you might become overwhelmed.
I'm interested too
I've thought about going back to Transolutions, and this looks interesting. How are they coming up with the hourly rate offered to each person, do you know? What sort of accounts? I was wondering if this was a crew of people who went around getting the new accounts started or filling in when there is an overload on accounts. Is there any special or different training? Would I be working on the DOS or Windows platform?
Any info would be great.
C-Bay has always been interested in HIS,
I wouldn't be surprised if they jump on this offer.You have no chance if C-Bay buys HIS as they don't have a domestic team! If you think HIS has too many indians, C-bay is owned/operated/managed by them!!
Also interested.....sm
Please post only if you have worked there in the last year. There are lots of negative posts from late 2004, but from what I understand, there have been major management changes since then, so I'd like to hear from those of you who have experiences from 2005. Thanks!

VERY INTERESTED
Hi,
I am very interested in your company I have experience with Medical Transcription and I would like to send you guys my resume. If you would please get back with me asap. my e-mail is gsopiglet143@yahoo.com
If you are interested
in an employee status position, most require that you type a minimum of 150 lines per hour. You could probably easily find an IC position with an MTSO, they are not usually as strict with the hourly line count. Also, working as an IC allows you to work more than 8 hours a day to get your desired line count.
Sue, I would be interested...
I would be interested weekend or back-up transcription. Let me know how to contact you. Thanks!
Interested
If you were truly interested in
the job, you would find the time. Just like you would find the time to look things up when transcribing actual dictation. Did it ever occur to you that they may have been testing your research skills as well as your knowledge?
also interested
Can you e-mail me a company name or any info?
interested
e-mail dogma5645@aol.com
You would be interested in becoming an
editor for $14 an hour with 25 years of expertise in the field. People like you lower Editor wages.
I'd be interested
in what the problem seemed to be. I really don't consider myself to be exceptional. I've worked a lot of places and on so many accounts I lost count a long time ago and I've yet to leave a job because I couldn't make any money. I know people say all the time they can't get their lines with this or that company and I just don't understand it. Were you by chance doing chart notes? If so, I can't speak to that as I've never done anything except acute care.
Thanks! Those of us who are interested in this -

I'm interested.
What do you know?
FYI, if you are interested...
they handled it BEFORE Monday. An email went out this afternoon by someone in management that it was his/her human error and an apology was issued and explanation given. The matter is resolved in my mind.
I'm interested, sm
Very interested, I like typed in the USA or some variation of that, as long as USA or America is in there somewhere. I am very interested. I am also in PA, but not near Philly, in the Poconos.
Where is the ad for this? I'd be interested...nm

IMO...if anyone is interested....
I think if we have to work for 3 different companies to get the equal of one good paycheck, it is time to get out of this profession, and that is what I am planning to do!!! Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!!
Same here, was interested until I saw that. :(
I got paid that as a new grad just 3 years ago. I really do need a job but at that rate It's just not worth it.
Would be really interested to know
Knowledge? Spelling? Typo? Punctuation? Grammar? Inconceivable to me that an untimed open-book test would be a problem.
I (along with many others) was laid off due to a merger a few years ago. I filed for unemployment and several weeks later, before it was granted, I was invited to test to be hired back. For 10 years prior to that, with several companies, I had always scored over 98% on QA reviews, but on this test I ''passed the knowledge portion and failed the transcription portion.'' I always figured that the invitation was with the hope that many of us would not respond; then they could say they had offered us jobs, but we refused. But when I actually did play the game and took the test, I ''failed'' because they really did not want any of us back and were just hoping I would not test, that way they could say I refused a job offer and avoid paying unemployment.
At least, that's my story and I'm stickin' to it!
I'm interested too. Please contact me also.
Does Amphion now have the St. Luke's ER account? If so, please contact me at

Hi Missy! I'd be interested....
in getting more information from you about Golden Isles. Can you post your email address, please, so I can email you with more questions? Thanks so much!
I would be interested in hearing as well...(nm)

I am interested in working for a
dynamic, awesome company too.
Can you give any info?
I, too, am interested in knowing more about this.....
TIA
How about QA positions? May be interested.
Went on website and looks like you can only apply for MT. ?
You see, I am not even interested in the insurance
part of the job as covered under my husband's excellent benefits. I could not believe we would be dropped in pay to become an employee. Just talked to my tax person after that little shock this morning and she told me what I should sit aside as far as taxes, SS. Now, having said that, do any of you pay each year or quarterly or how?? I am new at this IC but don't want to come down in pay and then have more taken away from me. Thanks.
I am interested to find out also...
Can not even make PT hours.
