I can only speak for myself, but my work flow is fine.

Nope.. never heard a word, which is fine by me. I'm never impressed when they never even contact
you hear how rude and unprofessional they are. Normally, I would not give any credibility to hear-say but all of this has to make me wonder. No skin off my nose. I tested with other companies and got called back within 24 hours.. Now, that is how a company should handle it..
SD apparently screwed up by hitting "reply all" to an email that was meant
Indians they were using as outsourcers. She accidentally let the cat out of the bag when OSi was denying all along that they used Indian MT's. I'm sure her "stepping down" was more of a "quit or you're fired" thing, but that's just my take on it. She was a b*tch, that's for sure, and an incompetant unqualified one at that. QA manager - what a joke.
Oops..sorry..Apparently, it's not Transcend's fault, it's the hospitals. Apparently, they d
that we were being overpaid so they changed the way our lines are counted. We will no longer get paid for footers, headers etc,and who knows what else they took out, although we still have to make sure they are all correct and make the appropriate changes and put in information. 
Wallah? Umm ....
This is what happens when people try to say cool things when they don't know what they're talking about. LOLOLOLOL
Oh, come one. Really! Wallah???

Wallah isnt even the correct prounciation of "voila".

Repetitve Neck Stress Injury
 Repetitive Strain Injury Advice: Bad Neck Pain-I have a lumbar support chair but I am still getting repeat shooting pain in my neck. Is there anything I can do to ease this? Better support while I am working etc.? Any advice is appreciated before I run to the doctor.
Wow, I just made an appointment for bad neck and shoulder pain. I went through

C-phone for sound quality is better thead and neck Lanier..
and better built, sturdy, last forever, doubles as phone where Lanier does not.
I run into accounts all the time that still use them.
but, you never worked on one so you wouldn't know.
Love it, Bunion! ("make your big head spin right off your little neck") ... sm
That remark just slayed me. You sound like a very interesting and accomplished individual, indeed.
You sang with Jerry Jeff Walker!!? That is very cool. I don't know his work very well but for one or two songs that I love dearly. One of them I call the little starfish song. If you know which one I mean, I'd love to know the title!
nope, not me, NOPE Worked to hard and long to sm
know what I know, my expertise is worth more and constant updating . Keep looking on the job boards. Email and ask if VR, pay for space and lowest to highest line rate for the POSITION (generic question) not I have 20 years exp. etc
YES YES re: carpal tunnel, back pain, muscle tension neck,

It was not meant to be nasty. I meant that you should take every job seriously. Just because someo
is their focus does not mean that patients should suffer. 96% accuracy could mean the difference to someone who is on the receiving end of that report. I am NOT QA or management but I am an experienced Transcriptionist who believes that the reports we transcribe need to be accurate for the patient's sake.
Apparently not
I asked this same question a short time ago and no one answered. I switched from a major player to a smaller comany for that very reason, now THEY are switching to a platform. The platforms seem to provide the benefit to the MTSO, not to the transcriptionist, in my experience. Line counts drop, no more pay for headers/footers, can't use your own AutoText. It's not that I'm an old dog unwilling to change with the times, I just don't appreciate being taken advantage of.
Uh, apparently someone else did it for me. nm

Apparently you did, and you need one!
The last company I worked for their IT department came in on my computer and changed the IP configuration on my router so bad I had to get a new one. They shadowed in so there was nothing I could do while they were doing it. Not to mention not a single one of them could speak English and only communicated through IM - I left. To say that a high turnover rate means bad MTs is ridiculous. There are a lot of things we discover once working for a company and some of us do not feel the need to accept those things so leave.
Apparently, since many of us
work at home and cannot be present in the office for a big warm and fuzzy ''group hug'' we feel entitled to other ''stuff'' in compensation?
Group e-mails do very little for me, by way of validation. What does mean something to me is a personal e-mail if/when I do something meritorious, above and beyond, to deserve it. If I really push beyond my contractual obligation to help clear a backlog, work on my days off at the boss's request, do a spectacular job on a very difficult dictation and get an ''attagirl'' from QA - on those occasions, I appreciate being commended or thanked. But a generic e-mail thanking me for not calling in sick all the time, being dependable, working the days I have agreed to work, being as accurate as I am expected to be really means nothing to me. This just reminds me of the ''every kid gets a trophy'' theory we operate under nowadays. If you want a reward, do something extra to deserve it!
Well, apparently
The 5 or so supposedly separate posters in this thread who weren't paid are saying they believe they were hired to just do a frenzied clean-up over an overflow accoount and then not paid. I think that's why a couple of them have pointed out overflow work.
I think...?
I'm kind of lost in this thread and trying to keep it clear in my muddled brain while I read the posts, lol!
Apparently! nm

Apparently....
you are too immature to understand the concept or have never wanted for anything. Not everyone is in your shoes. Some MTs wear Guccis, others hand-me downs. Same job should equate to equal pay for all MTs who do the same type of work. It doesn't always. Without complaints, you don't get anywhere. You have no need to complain, apparently. Everyone has different needs. An MT who is single with very few bills may make a wonderful living at $16 an hour. A single parent MT, trying to support 3 or 4 kids at .07 cpl does not find it so easy. Gag and then puke!
That is not what I meant at all! Meant broaden to
Broaden to think leave to other profession if that is what is wanted, dont limit yourself to thinking only can leave to another MTSO. Geeesh.
You bet it does. Apparently, you have been out of the loop sm
for a long time. Go work in a hospital office and see the brown nosers there. How about an insurance company? All sorts there. Better yet, go to a bank. How about some of the major corporate offices? They kiss butt all the time and even do "other things" to get to the top. Get real and get used to it. This is life. I like to come to this board and see your "holier than thou" and "poor me" attitudes and make total idiots of yourselves. It makes for great entertainment. I definitely would NOT want to work alongside the likes of you. No wonder your job didn't work out. Nobody likes catty transcriptionists. Pull in your claws.
Well apparently you don't have much work lately
LOL
I just went there and apparently all the posts have
//
well, apparently I have missed that.
Not a problem, though. Have a great day
We apparently don't have the same coverage
I have been charged the deductible for office visits, which was a surprise to me when it happened. Also, many medications are $50 per co-payment.
If you are healthy and don't need it, I guess it's good insurance. If you use it, you pay a LOT out of pocket and now it will be worse.
Apparently I got lucky....
I have great communication from my TM and have had no problems whatsoever. I hope you get your schedule changed to help you out and early congrats on the baby!
Apparently they did not have any difficulty--sm
getting responses, which the last mentioned was 135. Perhaps you should have applied, just to find out who they are, since you cannot seem to sit still in your undies just wondering about it, or maybe you DID apply and didn't get chosen....sour grapes. sheesh. real mature.
apparently you do not have the same supervisor I did!
Exact opposite. Pay was always on time, though.
Apparently you aren't going to let this go!
Tricky: I asked a while back how far off the line counts are in your mind - 2% 1% 10%?
If its a small discrepancy you might consider dropping it, if its a lot you could find a different job if management can't explain it to your satisfaction.
That said, I'm totally in your corner if there is serious discrepancy here, but so far you have not elaborated how much you think the counts are off.
That's how stupid it is, but apparently it has been done. sm
So many people think that MT is easy and they can pick it up fast, but getting in the door is the tough part.
Years ago someone on one of these boards confessed to doing such a thing. I've heard other similar stories as well.
It IS sad. It brings us all down.
No your hand is up, because apparently
you think it's normal for somebody not to be able to spell the name of the company they work for. Sorry, my hand is down because I agree that's a little weird. Sorry if that offends, people, I just think it's strange.
So, apparently some QT-ers went to Keystrokes. Did you SM
spend the last few months somewhere else and then change to KS, or have you been there all along? I myself was at WMX for a while and have recently switched to another company but not KS.
I am STILL not really adjusted, and I am just wondering how everyone is doing. It's been tough, hasn't it?
Someone apparently doesn't have a job.
Apparently the only read the no more

TO FATCAT: Apparently they are sm
not very big. Run by a husband and wife team. No HR department. Only person to talk to is the one MT who was suppose to be training me. We have communicated via e-mail. The e-mails have now stopped. I figure they either will let it go or they will send me a call tag and they will get their pedal back. I am not pursuing it anymore. Thanks for the good luck wishes.
Apparently people are
finding jobs, no problem. I have been going to websites of MT companies, getting the E-mail address of HR, and sending my resume. If there is an on-site test, I go ahead and take that. I wouldn't just post my resume, need to actively apply, I think.
No, many of us cut it....Just you fail, apparently.
I'm not going to dignify your rants any further. If you're so miserable, try to find someone else who will hire you.
If not, sharpen up your skills and perhaps you too can have more work and won't have to spend so much time here whining about no work at TT when others of us have plenty of work.
Just a suggestion.
As I said, I won't be dignifying your misrepresentations of TT on these boards. Others have posted they too have enough work, too.
Perhaps YOU are the only one who isn't cutting it at TT.
Apparently Transcend does not want
any self-limited folks on their ELECTRONIC PLANTATION.
Apparently nowhere - they spend all the time on here....sm
It sounds a few of them need psychiatry help.
It apparently depends on who you are, who hires you, where
you live, how well you test, etc.
The OP apparently has a sense of humor and
apparently has to dealing with MTs all day.
You people are unbelievable but then the moon is getting full and you come out in droves. I like her sense of humor as well as her willingness to help an MT.
I am sure she knows the many personalities of the profession and is not offended which is evidenced by her remarks and good for her because if it were me, I would tell you what you could do with your remarks. Trying to help you say by pointing out what was obviously a transposition, I think not. No one on this board is trying to help unless it was that recruiter. Apparently too many out there with not enough to do.
Apparently, HR has made their decisions sm
Wanted to thank each and every one of you who responded to me. We will be adding accounts (mainly ortho) by the end of the month and will need more editors at that time. I will be holding each resume and email I received and will be contacting some of you to see if you are still interested.
THANK YOU AGAIN for writing.
Apparently I've hit a nerve.

Since AAMT has apparently abandoned US MTs..
..is there some other organization here in the states that we can support that will look out for American MTs?
Apparently they do not think we are capable of doing the math.
The math is there and it is not pretty!
they only hire IC status apparently. That's all I know.

Not Focus, but apparently Diskriter
I am not sure what a family plan would cost. I was just talking to my SIL yesterday who is an MT/supervisor at a local hospital where some of the employees also worked for Diskriter. I have no idea what kind of company ethics are at Diskriter, but I just wanted to comment on their health insurance. This may be worth checking into. Good luck to you.
Apparently you didn't read them
There are posts from 2008 with plenty of negative info. You should search again and make sure you read them this time.
