Sheeple!!! LOL - I agree. I wonder if Germany outsources it citizens work out of the country.

Sheeple
I love your use of the term sheeple. This is ingenious. I plan on using this term from now on! I am still laughing! Thanks!
Sheeple is good. I usually refer to them as lemmings.

Well, you better wake up, and
find out that they DO ACTUALLY send a lot of their work to them, for cheaper wages, of course!
Consider yourself lucky that you don't run out of work. I work for Ohio office, also, and run out a LOT! They send to India, etc, like I said
Wake up!
The license fee is up to the MTSO. You should not be subsidizing someone else's business. What would do? I would not be in this mess in the first place because I could see it for the SCAM it is. If you are good, you have no need to pay anybody to work for them. If you still need to improve, spend your money on MT education, not on some scamster. Sorry, my friend, but you aren't even getting a kiss from these folks. Leave them.
You are only a click away. Wake up!

sorry that is wake up someday (not somebody) :)

wake up, my dear...sm
one of my hospital accounts had their radiologists buy a very nice expensive Dictaphone VR program because they saw it in action at the next hospital. Within 30 days --not even kidding-- all the radiology work was done by the docs without even editing by MT's. Took the 3 full time MT's and put them on H&P's. One of the dictators is a stubborn old Indian but too bad, so sad, they made him do it anyway.
Should we wake you up or did you want to keep dreaming?
Just kidding :-).
Ahhhh, in a perfect world...
....and you don't want to wake The Moderator Momster!

maybe this is the start of a wake-up call
IMHO, my objection to CBay is simply part of a bigger picture of the problems in this country. In my gut and my honest opinion, it'll take a while but more American jobs WILL eventually be lost with CBay owning MedQuist.
We don't need to be a country of consumers -- we need to be the producers like we used to be. That is where we had the edge. We are really starting to feel the impact of the work leaving our country big time, as well as our dependence on foreign oil. We had 3 pages of foreclosure notices in our newspaper today. How sad.
In the long run and the big picture, this is very scarey for the future of our country. Many people (absolutely, certainly not everyone) in the Good Ol' USA need to learn how to work hard and take pride in their work again!! Work smarter AND harder. We need to stand up and make our elected officials do what has to be done.
Hopefully we can start to get back there. We have to start fighting back somewhere ... it won't be easy and it won't be PC .. but our country is in trouble. We need to stand up and be heard.
I am gradually getting to buying American-made only. It means I buy less for sure, but, I feel it is important.
And, I personally don't want to work for a foreign-owned entity. JMHO.
If we don't do something as individuals and a nation, we won't be a free country that much longer. Things are just out of balance.
Sorry if this offends anyone, it is just my opinion.
Wake up and smell the coffee - dahhhhhh - NM

you hit the nail on the head. Just wish more could wake up and see this...quit working for outsourci

The majority
of their accounts are NOT online yet, most are still C-phone or Lanier.
The majority of them do. There are still some that
don't, but the list is growing all the time of the ones that do.
I agree. I think since the majority SM
of the workers in this field are female, they are hesitant to take action to preserve their financial stability and just sit and wait for things to get better (they almost never do).
For the majority of tests, you HAVE to go by
BOS2. No way you can pass it if you are not following the rules.
Heartland - Majority of the US accounts
were sent to India. They lost the account I was working on (FL account) and now I am pretty sure we are going to get let go...
Majority of comments here are very negative about them. nm
s
The majority of them offshore. The list will be
much shorter if you ask what companies don't offshore.
For a few works okay, but majority have problems sm
sooner or later. Can be fine one day and next day can be sick to death with vomiting, diarrhea, obstruction, on and on. Have seen it too many times. A friend I know had to stay in a nursing home for a year after her surgery from major complications. She still is not right, plus she is fat again.
I think this surgery is just a quick fix kind of thing and not anything that lasts for long. There are still too many unknowns about it and other risks over a long period of time.
It is 90 days, just like the majority of companies. (nm)

Sounds like TransTech and it's NOT how the majority of accounts are. nm

Even after years of doing this, it's NOT true for the majority of MTs these days. Look at how man

Majority of MTs say just give me the work and leave

Oh so true. The majority of recruiters I have emailed (sm)
either don't give you the courtesy of a reply, or when they do get around to it 6 months later, you're already working somewhere else. I like your idea, but I don't think it would succeed. If they can't take 15 seconds to reply to receipt of your email with an automated message, I highly doubt they would reserve time out of their day to give attention to us on boards such as these.
Actually, you should be MORE amazed at the fact that the majority of our profession has been
outsourced and to add insult to injury, we are expected to survive on what is practially tantamount to Third World wages? Not only that, but as a MT for the last 25+ years, I am livid about the fact that our medical information is in the hands of individuals outside of this country not to mention SS#, etc. IMO that particular issue among others I have listed should be a legitimate cause for concern....
I think majority of negative comments start when work is low and
they start looking for another job. I, for one, would rather be too busy and have to work an extra hour or 2 than not to have any work. Overhiring is the death of all of us, since we do not have a guaranteed income unless you are a team leader or hourly employee.
Failure to pay on time is another large problem that will produce negative comments.
If companies were actually above-board with the problems at their company before the hiring process is completed, a lot of this could be avoided.
A majority want 600 lpd for PT. Being able to put in extra hours varies from place to

Infinity makes the majority of the foot pedals, so to
ask if an Infinity pedal will work is too general of a question. Do you need game port, serial port, USB, 9 pin, 15 pin, etc. They can be configured different ways so just because it is an Infinity doesn't mean it will work.
I use an Infinity pedal but it is specially configured to be compatible with only DVI.
You have absolutely get your lines in the vast majority of the time - sm
In other words, you cannot have technical problems one day, decide to run errands the next, and then the 1 day out of 3 you decide to work there is very low work and you cannot get your lines in they will call and/or send an e-mail asking why. You need to be doing what you agreed to in your contract or you are going to get fired. I think that is true at most places now.
Exactly. The majority of the population can't afford health care.
Huh. Sound familiar?
The majority of places have you use templates and software platforms. Maybe someone can suggest a

They send a majority of the Escription accounts to India. There are a few of the hospitals that said
they could not send their work there but I suspect they do anything. In any event, yes, a lot of the easier work goes to India and they are proud of this affliation, not bad it doesn't pay my bills. Then, they wonder why we are so angry about India taking our jobs.
Must be another country, I have not
heard of anything at all like this and I try to catch all news, not just local.
well she is a liar then. the majority speaks and the truth has been heard. sorry, actions speak

What area of the country are you in?

Wrong Country
They are outsoucing to Trinidad and Guyana, with others coming very quickly.
moving to the country
I'm moving to the country and will not have broadband or DSL available for who knows how long. I have not been in this situation before and would like to know if any of you know of any companies that do not require either of these - I will have access to dial-up and possibly some sort of high-speed that is brought in by a radio receiver on the top of my house. It's a good move - just maybe not a good move for an MT - any help with companies that do not require high-speed with cable or dsl would be appreciated. 
and what country are you writing from?
nm
There are plenty of MTs in this country
who WANT to work - and guess what? The work is not as plentiful as it was because of people like you who choose to support the economy of a foreign country rather than your own country. So, when all the US jobs are gone as you stated, it will be YOU who helped it happen, not us.
I understand what you mean, Country Mt,
and I'm sorry that we can't all agree to disagree instead of acting like dogs attacking each other.
It's absolutely ridiculous that grown women feel it necessary to act the way some folks on here do.
Just know you're not alone in your opinion.
Country MT, you need to move - to
.
You are absolutely right. Also he is from a country
My fault for staying for so long. I also stayed in a relationship which he said was situational stress, and when I got out he thought I should have stayed. I guess that was my fault too... I am going to a woman soon, but I already changed my job to a good one which I know will take care of me. So, I guess I solved problems without a shrink... how to wean off the nerve pills... or not! LOL.
A search of the Main Board will show salaries discussed svl times over. Majority of us are paid

how do you get calls from "all over the country" sm
if you don't advertise or anything? Wow, you must be out of this world!
Work is going to India or some other country. nm
depends on part of country - I will take pay cut. sm
I'm an MT x10 years, great for growing family. Now that kids are in school going back for BSN (R.N. plus bachelors combined). Husband thinks I'm crazy. I make $55,000+ as an MT because of production + incentive. I transcribe 300+ lph and have an excellent line rate with a national.
I'm in the midwest, so as a BSN who does not get paid more than RNs here, I will take a huge pay cut, to the order of about $15,000 a year less. Why am I doing it, because I want to be a nurse practitioner or a P.A. eventually and want to love what I do - that will be more money in the long run too with the higher degree. I like being an MT, but working from home has turned me into a fat, lazy person who does nothing but type because it's easy money for me since I know the lingo and am well educated, plus I can type fast.
If you want to be a nurse, as another poster said - don't do it for the money, do it because you feel in your heart it is what you are meant to do because it is a very, very demanding job that requires a great deal of knowledge and skill.
Are all of their accounts out of CA or spread across the country? TIA (NM)

Does Transcend outsource out of country?
I was told when I was hired that their editing is for VR. Can anyone confirm or deny this?
