No, I was talking to you...I've been having major problems sending and receiving e-mails (sm)
on this board..I don't know why. If you want, try e-mailing me from here and I'll give you the company info. Thanks.
Same here! They got e-mailed me back within an hour or two to sending my resume!
Can't wait to talk to them on Monday!
Keystrokes sending sending my W2, anyone else? NM

Exactly. Its the mind-set of the MT on the receiving
end for how corrections or feedback or anything is accepted. I have found the newer MTs to most often have a wonderful spirit - they appreciate any sort of feedback and thus learn and grow from it, as is the proper course of events. But there are older MTs who are stuck in their rut - they've been typing something wrong for 35 years and by gosh, that affirms to them that it was right. They don't accept anything - feedback, correction, suggestions no matter how sweet the delivery - its kill the messenger with the message. Also there are newer MTs in the industry who just don't have a professional attitude - they churn out garbage and could care less. Probably the ones who took their courses from a matchbook advertisement. They have enough - skills - to get their foot in a door of a desperate national, but not an ounce of professionalism, so again no matter how a correction is delivered, QA is the enemy. Sadly, the #s of hateful MTs versus grateful MTs is way off balance, and the companies don't say boo for fear of losing the warm bodies typing - quality does not matter - its quantity. I am so much happier transcribing.
Is everyone here receiving more work now than
You will be receiving a call in.sm
October or early November from what I was told.
I have realized after receiving my paystub
that MW pays you want they want to. Once again, this is under the new pay structure for Merit editors. I have no idea why I took the time to do a time sheet.
Christmas is about giving not receiving...
I think that's what most posters were angry about in regards to Did anyone get a bonus for Christmas?
Christmas is about giving!
I am an IC. I expect nothing. The one online MTSO I work for is my client. End of story. My other two accounts are my clients as well. They are not my employer; none of them.
For those of you who are actually employed and are not ICs, maybe you would expect something. But in my opinion Christmas is about giving and not expecting to receive.
May you and yours have a safe and happy holiday season! 
Who is receiving Third-World wages...
Really? I certainly am not. I have never made less than $20 an hour as an MT. If you are making Third-World wages, it is time for you to find a different job. There are plenty of good opportunities out there.
I have never heard of one person actually RECEIVING the bonus
to reel unsuspecting suckers in. Don't fall for it. It's never happened and it never will.
Anyone filed a complaint after not receiving a paycheck? sm
Stopped working at Breitner 3 months ago. I never received my last paycheck, and the one before that was short by $100. They owe me about $1,000 total. I am not counting the 30% trimmed off my line counts for 8 straight weeks in Extext to cover headers and footers when it really only equals 5 to 8 lines. Has anyone ever filed with the labor board on them? Just asking because I have read posts on here that they threaten & just want to see what I am in for if I do file. 
I have rec'd an offer and am receiving software install in the next day or so. SM
So far, I'm very impressed, and they are very nice. The cpl could, of course, be higher.....but then again, I always think that of every company I talk to. They do have a shift differential, and I'm going to be working in the evenings. We'll see how it goes, but I'm looking forward to it so far. I just sent in a resume out of nowhere, and it did take a couple of weeks for them to get back to me. From the point I answered back, however, it will have taken 4 days from test to install.
help receiving encrypted files through Express Scribe
Is there anyone out there who could tell me how I could listen to encrypted files in my Express Scribe which I receive through email??? I am able to receive and listen to them just fine when not encrypted, but cannot figure out how to set ES up to use a password. When I click on the voice file in my inbox, it now takes me to ES, but displays an ERROR box stating - unable to open DSS file, this means the file might not be a true DSS file or the file is corrupt
The files are coming from a dss program called Olympus if that matters. Any insight would be greaaaatly appreciated!!!
Anyone else at CardioScribes nervous about not receiving the line count yet? sm
I didn't receive it today, so even if I get it tomorrow, that means funds will not be reieased until Monday, meaning no pay day until Tuesday, and possibly Wednesday. I am a bit fed up with not having a reliable pay day I can count on. I will be leaving soon, but in the meantime, I still have bills to pay.
Sorry ... guess I just needed to vent. 
Way, way, way too many e-mails
nm
Thank you both for the e-mails.
I cannot, however, use Iscriptor, so that one is out. I don't have enough memory for Iscriptor, so I am told. I'm running windows XP. I was told by another company that I do not have enough memory to run Iscriptor. Thanks bunches for your replies!!!!!
how about those e-mails..
that say change is always difficult and getting back on track. The e-mail I got transferring me to a lower-paid account said that. I had to get back on track too - had to go.
E-mails ignored
Never get a reply to e-mails. I've e-mailed a particular person about the same topic on 3 different occasions and have yet to get any kind of response. Not very professional IMO.
Thinking I should resend it with a copy to Transcend stating I've yet to get a response from anyone at MDI and maybe they can answer the question.
I am wondering if I am being encouraged out of the company... My thoughts exactly.
What garbarge!!! How about the e-mails
I have telling me to take the next couple of days off because there is no work. That place is worse than I thought if you always have work. Sounds like management is totally incompetent.
Over 500 e-mails in just over 2 months. How do you have
time to work? There have been multiple, multiple posts about the poor communication from Precyse. How questions are asked but never answered. I wouldn't want to work for a company that sent that many e-mails. There should be no reason to send that many e-mails, even if they are bulk e-mails.
I'd like to get in line on the e-mails, tx. NM

Does anyone else have problems getting e-mails
nm
Just forward the e-mails and any
questions you have to your supervisor.
Political e-mails
How timely...I received that type of e-mail today....Wonder if we're at the same place................But yes, it's so inappropriate and offensive, particularly since I don't swing the way of the e-mail. Even if I agreed, I would still feel it's inappropriate.
When will you respond to our e-mails?
nm
You never respond to e-mails.
I received several e-mails sm
privately stating some of the same things the others had said. These e-mails are all from experienced MTs with 20+ years experience. I would agree with your post IF the e-mail I had gotten from the recruiter hadn't been worded so strangely. She was very very nice but it was obvious this was a problem with her higher up and she did not agree with it. Its ok but it does aggravate me that they are taking up so many MTs time with their testing and not being up front. I would rather they say they are slow than make up something. I can't say as I would feel comfortable working for a company that would lie up front. I am glad you have a great experience there though. Any job in this economy is a blessing! BTW from the time these posts were done yesterday until this morning, I have had a job offer I think I am going to take. Thanks for your post.
You know - that is the biggest thing I don't like about MDI --the E-mails!
For being an attorney, she certainly can not spell or form sentences correctly!!
Unfortunately, I have to agree that her e-mails and tactics are quite....
unprofessional and annoying. 
Or what about when you get the e-mails that there is too much backlog and D will have to hire..sm
more MTs if you don't get it cleaned up and then you dial into your 3 accounts only to hear requested dictation completed. I don't understand this and it is very frustrating and
500 e-mails in 2 months is overkill. Either they
are horribly disorganized and can't compose 1 e-mail to get out the info, or they have serious issues with accounts/MTs that they are constantly having to send out info. I don't work for MQ, but my company only sends out e-mails as necessary, at most probably 2 a month. We get daily QA feedback in our QA file, which is not an e-mail and it pertains to just us, not one mass e-mail. I do my job and do it well so there is really no need to dozens of e-mails a day, or even a month, from my company.
I'd like to get info of Med-Scribe too. E-mails are welcome. nm
no msg
Anyone else getting unsolicited e-mails from any MT companies?
x
Please forward those e-mails to the Administrator. SM
The Administrator will handle those harassing e-mails.
The address is admin@mtstars.com.
Goldbird
I've got 2 e-mails from my STM threatening
that.
Left MQ in August...still getting e-mails. (nm)

My e-mails are always answered promptly
I really enjoy working there and have no gripes. Did you bring the incorrect paperwork to their attention?
Query about companies and e mails.
In recent experiences for me, I have found that supervisors rarely answer e mails. I find even if they ask something in an e mail or on a phone message, and you answer, there is no response. If an MT needs advice about QA, scheduling, etc. and e mails there is no answer. Is this a new trend? I have found this with recruiters as well. After hired, if you ask the recruiter anything, there is no response, and you get voice mail if you call.
Is this a new form of etiquette among corporate individuals that we at home do not understand? This is something I have found working for companies which I consider not so good, and one which I consider to be wonderful, but since MTs are isolated, it seems that at least an answer now and then would be nice. Even to let us know if they got the message to begin with.
My DH said not to worry, if I don't hear anything no news is good news, and yes it is rude, but I need to get over it. I am starting to agree, and not ever getting answers from team leads, or sups are the norm. Anybody else have this experience? Thanks in advance for your response. I just want to know if I am the only one feeling slighted. I don't want or need my hand held, just need to know they got my schedule for example, or my query regarding QA. After all, I don't want to make a mistake over and over again, for example. Perhaps no news is good news, but are we MTs in the field a bother?
No problem. But I don't answer e-mails
The only way you can be tracked by anyone is by replying to an e-mail. I don't mind answering your questions here, but just don't respond to e-mails from here. Sorry for the inconvenience, but I am sure you understand the necessity.
Do a search of ASR, ISR or VR on this board and you will see numerous threads about the subject matter.
Basically, you end up doing more work as the VR systems are incapable of understanding 100% of what is dictated, so you must proof to sound 100% of the job. The corrections usually take longer to do than it would take a good MT to just transcribe the job from scratch. The MTSOs have discovered that they can cut your pay in half, telling you you will get more lines because you just have to scan the report and fill in the blanks. That is completely, absolutely incorrect. The ONLY one making any money on VR is the company.
The work that is produced by VR programs is subpar at best and dangerous at worst.
I hope you SAVED those e-mails.

I agree. lots of e-mails but never answers to YOUR
I know many of you were low on work this week (get those every week) we are busy now (the weekend of course) and we expect you ALL to be making up your lines ....ummm??? Should I not have a life? Drop my Saturday plans and work all day?
Watch out, they only require 1 weekend day a week, but basically expect that you work all weekend because... you aren't being a team player like everyone else who works every weekend.
They didn't even answer IMs lol! Never nonsense IMs either, just asked if I could log on and make up work. Since I was always getting e-mails about my line counts.
If they changed and I had a different supervisor, might consider going back if I wasn't happy already.
TT top mgmt has answered 99% of my e mails. My sup 100% of the time.
I have only been lost in the cracks by management once. My supervisor has always answered me. But then, my mails are really short and infrequent. Only pertaining to PTO, a conference call or to ask about acct. specs. I just assumed that they have zillions of e mails so I keep it to a minimum. They have answered all the important ones for me. The one not answered was an HR question I could have gone to the vendor about.
They are great though on e mailing us, you have to admit. At least once every week top management tells us what a great team we are. At least that is what I receive. And they never forget to wish us a happy holiday. So I have no qualms at all.
That score is with current company. I also have e-mails from
my STM at Webmedx telling me how pleased they were with my work. Someone is always wanting to say that you just couldn't cut it when you leave a company, but that wasn't my situation. Actually the lack of work was a blessing. I now work for a company whose QA is very strict, even more so than Webmedx, where my score last month was 99.9%, there is lots of work 24/7, and the pay is better. I was also making my line count after 3 days. So the story had a happy ending. When one person leaves that might be chalked up to a quality issue, but when several leave at the same time then that likely isn't the case. The numbers showed what the workload was like.
Daily mails waste too much time
Honestly, no, I don't care for that stuff. It's a waste of my time to get that type of thing and go through it. I'd like to spend my work time really working and earning money, not wading thru useless information I dont need.
Check your e-mails from yesterday, Fatcat...(sm)
It was announced in an email from Carlotta. It's no longer rumor, it's being implemented.
Not me. I've received no e-mails from anyone at ProScrip. sm
Which is not unusual, of course, since they aren't very communicative in general.
Compnies which Phish for e mails for posters.
Just an FYI. Companies might not get ISP addresses from this site to cross reference who we are... yesterday, after I had posted several comments about a certain company I won't mention (because I will get in trouble for slander, no doubt). I got 2 suspicious e mails and cross-referenced where they came from and they were both from Texas. 1 e mail was insulting someone who was putting good info out on the company and another was responding to a post I put saying I loved the place...and that one was from Texas too. Both were in the same state the company is in. If you are management and you did it you know I figured it out and don't appreciate it. If management or anyone from this company did not do it, my apologies but it is fishy or phishy that people in the same area wrote to me. These claims are absolutely false and libelous against MTStars. No individual nor company receives ANY information about posters from MTStars in any way.
This board is for freedom of speech which I might add is a right under the constitution. You say we can't slander on the board, you will get us. You may just possibly be phishing to see who we are, this is invasion, and I don't appreciate. This board is NOT about freedom of speech or your constitutional rights. This is a privately owned board. We are allowing all opinions but there are still posting guidelines. You are making serious false allegations.
Bottom line is, don't respond to any e mails you get here unless you know for sure who it is...because there are a lot of cheesy MTSOs who don't want us to know the truth and want to squash freedom of speech. Just wanting people to know to be careful and preserve the rights of this board. Without it, we'd have no one to talk to and compare notes, and with any kind of monitoring our civil liberties would be squashed. Thanks in advance for reading this note.
Any person can post on this board. You accept the fact that your posts will be read by anyone and that while your email address is never exposed to anyone, you might receive emails through this board from others. Never respond to such emails unless you want to expose your email address.
If anyone has any questions about such issues, contact the Administrator or Moderator. Libelous claims against this board will not be tolerated.
MTStars Team
Lack of work, offshoring, never answer e-mails....
she means they are being shuffled around and being sent rude e-mails and IMs - ROFL
nm
Then send them 15 rude e-mails a day asking to be removed, ROFL!
Taste of their own medicine. Let their mail box fill up with endless dribble on updates or urges to work.
company does not answer e-mails or phone calls
Hi guys,
Just wondering if any of you have experienced this. I use to work for this company full-time. I went to part-time because we were running out of work and I decided to go back to school (because I am tired of this game with having work and then running out).............
Anyway when I dropped to part-time, my insurance was cancelled (which I know happens) but the premiums are still being taken out of my check. I have 2 checks now with those premiunms being taken out.............I have called payroll and left e-mails (this lady never responds)............now I am thinking this illegal...........
Feedback please. I would like to stay on with this company part-time but...........
