In Reply to: didn't mean to stir up anything - how do you get into recruiting and what are the requirments an - tired of typing
I was a recruiter and the company decided to hire a recruiting company...now many of us can't even find positions as there are usually one or two per company and they never leave or some don't pay well. So not easy even with someone with experience.

I love it. It is fast, easy to learn and easy to use.
Platform very easy and quick - easy to get used to. :)

Searching
I have a phone interview with them on Monday and I'm just really on the fence here! What I want is to be able to have plenty of work, be left alone to do so, and just go back to how it used to be when being a MT was enjoyable. I'm just so undecided right now!
Searching for...
I am looking for a company that provides a computer, has voice recognition, and doesn't require 1200 lines per day for new part time people.
Searching for
I guess I wasn't very clear. Some companies want you to type 1200 lines per day within 3 weeks, 6 weeks, whatever and give you ESL docs you can't understand, so how can you put it on paper? It would probably take me 3 months.
Searching and done with it
You made an honest mistake, you apologized graciously, and you do not deserve the bullying you have been getting. Consider that bullies think they have a lot of power because they are anonymous on the Internet. Don't pay attention to them. Hugs to you!
I did some searching
on Google, saw your post below mine this morning too, and looks like maybe you're right because I see a couple of hits from the past with the two with eTranz and then found some old posts from here about not paying by the one person. But it looks like Full Circle is just the other person? Anyone else know anything about this? Thanks!

Try searching archives.
http://www.mtstars.com/search
Also frustrated in searching
Is there anyway you could archive posts sooner, like maybe only keep two pages of current post? Or set up a search for non-archived posts?
sorry....searching...not searing
:(
Try searching MT Stars itself
Instead of Google, try the search for this site. Type in the name of the company and it should bring up information about them. I hope this is what you mean.
Thanks, searching, I figured that must be why. nm

It was the way you advised about searching
and if you think you were *originally* 'polite', you might want to recheck that definition.
Thank you! I do have a lot of soul searching to do.
What is so frustrating is that I'm really a great Transcriptionist in all aspects other than the production and staying focused for 8 straight hours. If I can overcome those, everything would be perfect.
Thanks again for your kind words and great advice. I appreciate it!
I'm actively searching......
TT used to be one of the best companies to work for, not true any longer. They seem to be all about making money for themselves. No more yearly bonuses, no matching 401K, nothing for MT week but thanks from lower management. There are companies out there that pay 70% of your line rate for speech, that's reasonable. This whole thing is going to backfire on them in the end. I've had several interviews but haven't made a final decision yet. It's not that I want to find a company that doesn't do VR, in reality they all will eventually. I want to find a company that realizes their MTs put bread on the table for managment, sadly that is no longer TransTech.
I've been searching for a prn
position for months! I'll definitely need it now to make up for the lost money due to reduction in pay!
Try searching "CHRISTIAN" rather than DIT
I too got nothing when searching DIT, but when you search the word Christian, a lot of linkage to past DIT posts come up since they always tout themselves to be a Christian organization.
You'll find it very enlightening.
TransTech and low/no work for months and months _ don't think there are continous holidays LOL
This HORRIBLE low/no work situation has been going on at TT for almost a year now. You can't convince me it is due to Memorial Day. Are holidays now assigned in this world to being daily.
That is an excuse these companies use in these no work situations, but it is due to their OVERHIRING. Holidays just come on a daily basis, but LOW WORK/NO WORK is happening and has happened going on a year now at TransTech. Always asking to flex into the middle of the night, EVERY weekend, etc.
The TT mgmt checks are NEVER affected, tho, so they can continue to HIRE EVERY MT who gives them a call, and create a NO WORK situation for all of us. The newbie MT's are cheering at first, but then realize that it hit them in the paycheck, too, and very soon it did!!!!!!!
After searching the archives a bit, not so sure I want to work for them

No. I just happened to be searching & thought I'd

I can't find my answer by searching...
I'm looking for opinions on:
CTS (Central Transcription Services)
and
TRX (out of Oregon and NYC)
Thanks so much in advance! Feel free to email me privately.
It should, but you'll be searching a long
time to find it. Seems 8 cpl is the going rate and 9 if you're lucky.
Is it? Nuts. I have been searching all over for my contract, but I'm not sure
I ever got a signed copy back from D., though I specifically requested that she send a copy back to me with her signature on it as well.
Try searching Dictation Services Group
in addition to DSG.
Anyone know anything about Wordzxpressed? Perhaps I flunked archive searching, sm
but I cannot seem to find anything recent about them. I hear so many horror stories about so many companies, it is hard to know who are the good guys and who are the bad. 
Thanks.
A position like this is a RARE one, newbies. I've been searching 11 yrs for a job like this and

Any good info on MDI-FL. Do they have IC status? I've been searching for sm
the past 15 minutes and have found nothing!! I read somewhere someone said you have to have tough skin to work for MDI-FL. I wonder what this means! :)
Thanks to anyone with any info on this company. Trying to leave MQ and make some decisions here. Help out a fellow MT. Love ya. LOL
After much searching on this board, I am not finding any info on Focus for sm
rate in pay. Can anyone please spare a fellow MTs time and just let me know if their pay is decent?? I just got a 10% decrease in pay today with MQ and I am just so upset! I'm looking for a decent company, that's all. Thanks so much!
Keep searching. All the good stuff is kept in house now. If you snag Op reports out here, they're

Only those Good/Happy Friday emails to try to keep us from searching for jobs during the weekend
TT throws out a *line* on Friday emails, hoping that we will bite. TT mgmt does not know what to do now ! I truly believe that !
I'm not sure that they will make it through this, if Dictaphone has taken away some of the Dictaphone accounts works and dividing it out among other Dictaphone customers.
I don't see a pretty picture at Transtech anymore. Don't say that I am just a negative person; what is pretty about it?
When a new MTSO signs on with Dictaphone, they are going to give them work from somewhere, and I believe it is from TransTech.
I am so disheartened by all this with TT. 
Promises for new work coming onboard is exactly what one poster said -- more Dictaphone overflow accounts! Not enough work for ALL the MT's TransTech has hired within the past few months.
My company has been low on work for months and months..sm
Tired of getting the same ol' message that things will pick up. I remember the days of bonuses, making money and being able to pay my bills! I am also wondering what is going with these companies not having work. Is everybody sending work overseas?
Here's the deal - if you find one that fits, even remotely. STAY!! stop searching for "perfect

It's just not easy to do for most of us. nm

Does anyone else think it is just as easy to go to a different
company as it is to learn new account at the same time you are learning a new platform that has a lot of problems?
easy to put an end to it all
Doesn't matter if QT says they are not closing or not selling, it is all in what the account decides what will force the hand. You have one big account, lose one big account, you do the math.
It's VERY easy
All that you do is hit F6 and it brings up all of the old report. As far as I can tell, they go back about a year.
easy as pie
Super easy and I find it super fast. Check out www.escription.com
I cannot tell you how easy it is to get someone's SS#
and have a grand time with it! Try explaining it to the hospitals that want to outsource to certain national companies that don't do a background check on employees or that the threat to take SS# just by when doctors dictate them is easy - can you imagine how easy it is for the offshore companies to do it. If I can do it in the states working for a national company, imagine what the offshore companies can do!
EASY
I was wondering the same thing. The ad said It is easier to edit than type, and they pay hourly. I don't like their choice of words though. Neither is EASY. It all takes skill. I, too, am curious--Who is TMMG?
Its not easy being a
You're right the girl probably didn't have a clue of how poorly she was doing and thats not playing fair. However, training is not easy. Companies don't want to lose people, especially if they're not paying them much, soooo you're stuck being positive positive positive even when the work is horrible, and people tend to get offended at the least little bit of feedback. Its a bit of a squishy position and at times the person training has to go to great lengths to justify their own position. Not easy I assure you. I for one was told I was sending too much feedback, apparently learning how to do things right was not at the top of these MTs list. You cannot completely blame the trainer, but management who lets the MT call the shots.
Easy. NM

Not the OP, ...is it easy to set up?
Do you have to buy anything other than the router? I have comcast cable and already have a router...just don't know what to do with it.
Easy.
You need to go in and put in the BKSP command where the number goes and back the hyphen right up to the command you then you eliminate the 105 painful times you need to enter!! A snap!

It's not as easy to do that now as it used to be sm
If you're SE or IC, you can do that, but with most companies going to employee, MT can only work 40 hours and if one can't count on working extra, which goes into overtime and not always offered, it makes having just one job not feasible if MT wants to make X amount of dollars in as much time as it takes her/him.
I wish I could just do one job with OT when offered, but I really need the security of having the PT to get what I need to make ends meet.
I'm sorry. I must have it easy there, which SM
is reason I, unfortunately, can't leave.
I really feel badly for you. Sadly, that's why company has the reputatation it does. They are more concerned about happiness of offshore MTs.
Easy. Take a job anywhere. It will be prn because
there will be no work. They will want you to type prn but demand you live up to a line count and schedule they will not promise work to fill, thus it ends up prn for you, and great for them. Sorry, just the facts. Imagine a company that was honest and actually hired for prn. There's never be anything comparing what it is like for full time or part time these days. JIMHO
Very easy---
go into program files, find ShortHand file, click on that, that is where all the things are. Go to the SPF files, find which one you have your abbreviations in, you had to have named it something (you can check the opened shorthand and look at the tab on the bottom that shows what you use for your abbeviations), copy that file (I use a fast whatchamacall it that you plug in) or you can copy in a separate file until you can copy it to a removeable file, just paste it somewhere, then when you want to copy it to another computer with the Shorthand program on it, just paste it in the shorthand file (like where you copied it from on the other computer). When you open up the Shorthand file, you will have to click on the new shorthand files and add it so it will put a tab at the bottom.
