Isn't any job a love/hate relationship
We have to work to provide for ourselves and our family, yet there will always be days when you'd rather not and this applies to on-site or off. In any event, when you work at home, it gives you some flexibility. I take advantage of the flexibility as I see fit. I am an IC. If I do not work, I do not make any money. I am also not someone's go-to person. I do my work and then find time for fun. No one should assume that all work-at-home people are not productive or have excuses not to work. That is just not a fair statement. 
I have a love/hate relationship with IM.
We have to run the MSN instant messenger for work and with that, yes you can save messages. You can find that under the tool menu (how appropriate!) and then under options and just check off the right box.
I'm really bad about forgetting to mark myself as be right back whever I run to the potty or take a break and then come back to find a message or two looking for me to type up a stat, because then I wind up looking like a tard who is just ignoring my bosses. Of course, they know me, and they know I'm a tard, so I guess it all works out.
Works both ways though...they can find me just as easily as I can find them, and sometimes that comes in awfully handy. Sometimes not. Okay, mostly not, but I digress...

Do you love, like, hate your job?
I was an MT for years and have been out of it for a year because I was offered a position in my husband's company, but I am considering working as an MT again. I loved the freedom and the pay was pretty good. I was just wondering how many people actually ENJOY their jobs currently. Thanks.
love/hate my job
Love my job but hate having no life because of it. Work on 3 feast or famine accounts, so i basically HAVE to work 7 days a week to make ends meet. No paid time off. Very frustrated right now.
Some love it and some hate it. I guess it all
depends on what platform you are using. Most VR will eventually learn, and you will be teaching it by correct the errors, although it seems to take a while. If you are on an account that is new to VR it can be quite frustrating, it seems like you are stopping every sentence to fix errors. However eventually it will learn and become less burdensome. Once it does you can speed up the voice and get through the reports fairly quickly correcting less errors. The down side is you are paid less, so you have to make those lines up in your production. On the positive side, a lot of people think it really helps with the wrists. Again, it all depends on the platform and account you are working on.
Don't hate it/love it, it's no worse sm
than anything else I've worked on. The new version is better because of the keyboard controls, but I'm not in love with that either.
Is it MedQuist? Love DQS -- Hate MQ!
I had good line counts with it. It was very easy to use and had a ton of shortcuts. I really don't have any complaints. I used the Expander that comes with it, so I didn't have to worry about compatibility issues. I've never worked on Escription, so I can't comment on how it compares.
I really hope this isn't with MQ, though. Read their latest posts -- no work.
Love my platform...hate the company
I currently work for DSG and love DocQscribe.
Emdat is said to inspire love/hate, too. nm
s
I agree. Hate Transcend but love Robert..nm

Love VR and hate to do straight typing anymore
My work is a combination of both VR and straight, VR about 85% of daily work. I never retype any sentence much less a paragraph when it is VR. I think a person only has to do that with a particular bad platform. Escription is excellent VR.
love/hate MT, mostly love it :)
i've long been dismayed with the direction in which this profession has gone, and i agree with the person who posted that women have accepted substandard wages and/or unfair IC or employment situations. It's very sad to see how, when outsourcing became the norm, women did not adequately negotiate to, you know, pay their bills!!! It seems this has resulted in lots of undercutting and lower line rates for everyone. I see some companies slowly improving and not requiring crazy line counts and hours in exchange for paying into health insurance. i entered this profession as a single female. i married an engineer and was living mighty comfy and cushy and happily doing 4 hours at 11 cpl in the late 90s. didn't have to worry about not having bennies at all. now as a single mom with a young child, i truly struggle. but i do love my work and hold out for my specialty to keep the line count up. still, i see the glaring problems and it's just a shame. if there were an MT union, i'd join in a heartbeat. no time/energy to start one and be some kind of norma rae, though!
Ah, yes, a love/hate thing indeed!
Best to all of you wonderful mts, male and female :)
Use the Google search box for MTStars.com, not the Search box at top of page. Lots of

That's good news. I love Keystrokes, and I hate to think of them selling. sm
The people are great, and I truly feel that I have finally found a home. Still, business is business. I have a friend who has been with Transcend for years and is very happy there, but I want no part of it. I plan on working until I'm 70, so I'm crossing my fingers that the bottom does fall out for me before then.
GOOD GRIEF -Love my company/account, Hate MedRite! Any help?
I love the company I work for, pay, schedule, account. It has it all. But they use MedRite. This is awful! Was this actually designed for an MT? This is complicated, SO much mouse-clicking, and so SLOOOW - I am boring myself to sleep. Typing is easy and quick but moving from report to report - Good Grief! Is there anyone who has used this? Are there any tips you could give me?
I always respected OSi and had a good relationship with them until they did that. sm
When I opened those posts and saw what they did, it was the most unprofessional behavior I had seen displayed by any company in a long time. I know they ruined themselves in my eyes and lost my respect and I had a good professional relationship with many of the folks there.
LOVE Bayscribe, HATE MedRite! MedRite when I used it was slow sm
and cumbersome -- would type and wait for it to catch up! Plus it had some annoying thing where if you were gone too long, a pop up window came up and you had to explain why you were gone. Bayscribe is fast, smooth, user friendly, and at the end of each report you can see how many lines you did and how much money you made, for that report and for the total day.
Good luck to you whatever you decide! 
Not at all. Worked for the NJ company. Used to pay by the page or partial page. Don't know about

there is a thread further down this page or possibly the next page
I transcribed for Compuscribe years ago. Had no problems, just low pay but no problems.
Go to the bottom of the page and click on a page
number to get the most recent archives and then can do Ctrl F and do a search for WebMedX. I wouldn't call them a small national.
Page 2, scroll down towards the middle of the page, NM

Can you say google
Use google
x
If you google, there are, but only 1 for MT.
nm
YES, it is. It's in the BOS. Google it.
It is in the BOS 2nd edition on page 66 that it is customary to use single space after sentence. It also says it's determined by department, and it's basically optional otherwise as long as you are consistent.
I didn't just make it up. lol
You can google it
Did you google?
I did. Pops right up.
Yes, actually did google
Yes, you are correct.
Google it...
That'd be a good place to start, x.
Go and Google it!
I wanted to find out more information about this company before I decided to send in my resume. I could not find anything by typing in the company name on Google, so I typed in the email address that was listed in the job posting. I found some interesting websites associated with this email account.....go and look!!!!!!!!
Use the google box just above your
post. It does the more recent stuff.
Can't find anything on Google, but
Did they post somewhere? Can you glean a potential site address off of their email, if they did post something?
Hopefully it's a tiny company that pays wonderfully, has clear docs, and turns out to be the perfect job.
Good luck!

My first day I was so frustrated, during my break I went to check MT Jobs, I immediately got 2 IM's and a phone call.......and a raise! Imagine that, how would they know otherwise?
