Do you have proof that JLG outsources offshore? If so, please email the Administrator.
admin@mtstars.com
Unless you have DEFINITIVE proof that MQ has sold, DO NOT post innuendos here.
All posts referencing a so called MQ sale have been removed. Posters should be above pettiness by posting rumor. FACTS speak volumes.
Administrator
Only if administrator of board can be given proof.

Administrator- could you email me. I never posted that message about Netmed, yet it came to my email
address and I figured it out when someone from Netmed contacted me about my post. Is it possible for someone to steal and use your email address to post things. I thought there was some validation in place.
Do you have proof that they offshore?

Offshore outsourcing
Go to Spheris's website where they brag about their India connection.
SOLUTION TO OFFSHORE OUTSOURCING
Since offshore outsourcing couldn't be stop why don't we just outsource the dictations coming from these freaking speaking doctors. We need to screen the accounts and all those accounts with difficult doctors to understand, we outsource them. I think we will be more productive, the only problem I can see is that most of the doctors here in America freaking dictators.
Sorry, late here, outsourcing instead of offshore, same thing though. NM

I am so hoping that TransTech has not begun to offshore. I do know that they were outsourcing
some work some time ago to another MTSO. There has ALWAYS been work during the evening hours and early, early a.m. hours, but NONE to be found anymore. Good time for the foreigners to be working 
I hope and pray that TT has not started offshoring our work. The work has definitelyl disappeared somewhere. I don't believe that even with VR our work would disappear so FAST and STAY GONE SO LONG. This LOW and NO WORK has been going on for the past year and more -- before TT began VR. It has been a struggle to get lines/hours in for a LONG TIME at TT.
Or maybe Dictaphone took away some of the work on the Dictaphone accounts and shared it with another MTSO.
I have the definitive answer...
If you will be working primarily for a large teaching hospital, $1 is WAY too low (even with multiple links - residents make each stupid foot x-ray into brain surgery and the attendings just luv to hear themselves talk since they are also teachers.
IF, on the other hand, you will be working for a non-teaching hospital, $1 per report could be great if you have nothing but short reports (non-teaching hospital generally have very short-winded docs - my other hospital did) and the links could really add up.
Darn, wish I worked in a non-teaching hospital! 
At least that is from my experience!
offshore overseas.... not outsource .... correct term is offshore.

So administrator..is OSi done for here now??

I wonder why the Administrator
as she so frequently does? Question for the Administrator...Is it true that any negative posts of companies who advertise on this board are deleted??? If so, why is this? If this is not true, why was the string about Transcription Matchmaker deleted?
ADMINISTRATOR
Is there any way that you can make a requirement that MTSO's who post on the job board list the name of their company.
I have responded to some of the anonymous posts by sending my resume and never ever hear a word back. It makes me uneasy because my address and phone number is on my resume.
After giving this some thought, why would a legitimate company post anonymously. On all other sites, companies who post jobs must list the company name.
Please consider making this a requirement.
Thanks.
To the ADMINISTRATOR
I have received unsolicited email from this site and do not like it at all.
As the posts get older, will they eventually drop our 'email me' link?
Way to go, administrator!!
Thank you for speaking for all of us!
Administrator
What does a little hand pointing in front of a post mean? I am searching for a post of mine that looks as if it has been deleted. While searching I came across a reply of mine to a post, and there is this hand in front of it, and you cannot open my reply. I feel as if I am being boycotted or something - - LOL! Seriously, what is going on?
Administrator
It's great you removed the post, but I didn't get to see it. Wondering if it wouldn't be fair to name the company so those of us who didn't see it will know what type of company we are dealing with if/when they repost an ad?
You could leave the ad and the company up as an example of how to get your ad deleted... what *not* to post.
Do you have proof of this buy out?
Very interesting stuff here
That is no proof.

There is proof - as there was proof for OSI
There is validity to the MTs on this board. They provided the proof for the administrator to oust OSi from here, and if need be, they will be able to provide proof regarding Transcend. You just have to weigh what is important to you. I personally will not give my time or talents to any company not willing to go with 100% US based help. That's my preference, yours is up to you.
100% proof
Actually, you are to proof 100% but you are not requird to proof to voice 100%. However, I always did that anyway because if my name is going on it, it is going to be correct.
You have proof?
I'd love to see the proof. I heard they use US MTs only.
Proof
Do you really have any proof of this? I think if not, you are getting a lot of people upset, especially with the holiday season coming up. On the other hand, if you do, please provide what you know so others can make decisions about what to do.
I think you need some proof that it is bad -
you are probably going to have to deposit it at your bank and wait for it to come back to you. Be forewarned though, your bank will charge you a fee when it is returned (usually between $5-10). Then you can take it to the magistrate court and take out a warrant for a bad check.
Good Luck!
This seems to be pro-offshore board. Messages against offshore often just disappear.

Administrator-just curious
what was offensive about my post that caused it to be deleted? Not a regular poster but wondering what is considered offensive? No name calling, no swearing, yet....the rude and aggressive posts are allowed to remain. Makes no sense to me.
I will pass that along to the Administrator. Thank you. (NM)

Looks like administrator removed the ad

ADMINISTRATOR and others regarding TPJS
I just thought I would let you and others know about a job that is posted on the job board. It was a ACUTE CARE MTS/EDITOR position that offer hourly wages. To me this sounds like a BIG SCAM. They send you an email stating that they are delighted to offer you a transcription position within a certain hourly range but then as you read further it states Please remit $25.00 for your independent contractor background check. We
accept credit cards, debit cards, money orders, money grams and cashier
checks as a form of payment.
Please note: We do not accept personal check. They go by the company name of Telecommuting Personnel Job Services or TPJS, Inc.
The ad never had the companies name in it as well.
I would think that if a company wants to hire you and do a background check that they would pay for it!
Do you think this sounds like a SCAM??
Administrator - Another job ad w/o company name
.
E-mail the administrator.
company name identified.
How about they added an ad. I proof all day, can't seem to
do it when I don't have to.
Where is that published? Need PROOF!
/
what kind of proof do you want:?
and still have proof of it ALL after 2 years! There will always be those who have a good experience at a company and assume that it is the same for everyone at that company. Sorry to burst your bubble, but that is not the case.
Yes and it was not a claim..have proof. Thanks

I have no proof but believe they do. I used to work in QA and the
work was so bad I had to almost completely redo the reports. That was 3 to 4 years ago, and an owner of another MT board asked if they offshored. I don't know what she knew that made her question it. I wouldn't be surprised if they offshored because they can't keep U.S. MTs.
There ya go, proof positive!

Recession proof job
In these uncertain times, just curious how everyone sees the outlook of an MT? With voice recognition, how do you see the job market in 10 years? I am an instructor at a local small community college that teaches basic transcription and this is a topic of discussion. Any help would be appreciated!
Recession proof .. ??
I think that you need to tell your students we are in a situation now that eludes all reason as tight money makes us all possible victims of this recession. If hospitals or businesses cannot borrow money in a fluid way then payrolls become a problem. Otherwise, MT is not going away, but it is changing and to stay relevant you have to change with the time and the technology, which drives the train. A dose of realism is often the best way to make a point.
As for recession proof sm
I feel pretty recession proof.
I have 2 jobs and will make more as an MT this year than I have ever have. I don't work as much or as hard as you might think. I am break taker and if I actually spent 8 hours a day physically typing I would be surprised, but I will still come up over $45K this year. It is my speed and accuracy that allows me to be the break taker I am. When I am at the keyboard, I AM ALL IN and when I break, I break.
I am also aware that MT is changing, but not going away. I don't feel taken advantage of and I don't feel I am underpaid. I don't think that corporations are squeezing me or that I have overseas competition. I feel that as MTs go, I am sitting right up there at the top of the heap. If either of my companies start reducing staffing levels, I will not be one of the ones they let go. In the one case, I know I would be the first on the list to be retained. I don't actually worry about having a job or finding a new one when needed. My problem is usually fielding offers and deciding which one to pick.
This is not most of us though and I understand that. I worry for those of you who are not at the top of this profession and will have to worry about where it is going a lot sooner than I shall.
Proof that WMX reads here.

Administrator...I have text set for largest, but
...have to keep the settings in control panel as is for my job. The text is awfully small. Would there be any other way to enlarge it, or do I have to make-do?
I love the site and the changes, too, just find it rather small. Unfortunately, on my end, I can not change any other settings, and the +/- does not work for me, either.
Send you comments to the Administrator. (SM)
Be care of the tone and remarks on this board.
ADMINISTRATOR, MODERATOR, please explain (sm)
Why does clicking on the OSi link say no offshoring activities reported after they have been banned from advertising on MTStars for proven offshoring?
I am sure the Administrator is looking into this. Don't make assumptions. nm

Yes, administrator/moderator has posted that
