Obviously you don't receive the crappy quality of drafts...sm

that I see all day long on this system. They claim that it learns but it doesn't, because my coworkers and I make the same corrections over and over again to the same things.

going by the address in Clearwater - it's a pretty crappy crappy location
so it kind of makes me wonder what the company is like! I know that location shouldn't really matter, but let's be realistic - there are TONS OF PLACES in Clearwater with office space to rent, but judging by the address, I am pretty sure this is out of an apartment or house. Not that that should make a difference,
Okay, drafts like you get, but this
x
If you had a lot of the drafts like I get you'd be tickled....sm
many of them require minimal editing and I'm zipping along at lightning speed, making money for not typing. 
They offshore, sound quality not great, quality
of work coming back from India is bad and they don't pay enough for editing it.
you spelled quality qualitily maybe that is why you have quality issues.
Sorry, but even spell check misses stuff. You have to at least be able to spell to do this job. Well, you don't have to know English if you are Indian, but us Americans have to spell!
Their pay is crappy! nm

Really crappy ESLs. nt
They don't want to pay, accounts are crappy, you have to
fight to get your paycheck, they want you to edit offshore work, etc.
Maybe it was your attitude as well as your crappy sm
transcription skills that got you let go from there.
RE: crappy doctors and good MTs
Any halfwit could have figured out that she was talking about the doctor's crappy dictating skills, not their doctoring skills. She never said she couldn't do the work either. Every MT would like an occasional good dictator, but those all go overseas or to VR. You're the one with the bad attitude and condescending tone.
Crappy pay, no communication, inept QA. NM
I've gotten some really crappy stuff too and it just
wears me out. I can't make lines, but can't claim no work either. I'll have a really bad day, the next day will be so-so, and the next day is pretty good, and then it starts all over. I don't mind no work, but I wish when I ran out the first time I could just take the rest of the shift off.
Crappy hours at first, but guess what
My son years ago got a job, only the weekends but he was on call. He quit. That was not a good idea because had he stayed his salary now would be through the roof. He quit a union job. My husband now works for the same company. When he started, he was what they called on the board. Well, anytime a person not able to work their shift, my hubby got that- all hours- anytime-and now he has seniority and paid off in the long run for him. No wonder outsiders being given/offered our jobs. No one should ever complain about their jobs.
Not unusual, but some of the crappy companies
force MTs to work weekend days rather than simply hiring part-timers for weekend work like most companies do.
Again with the crappy reading skills
With each post, you clarify how you are able to make your grandiose claims about VR. Reading, as they say, is fundamental, and once you ignore that whole pesky reading for context thing, I'm sure VR does get a lot easier. Try it again, slowly this time, and you'll see that I qualified the 1000 lines number by following it with an 'or'. I know...it requires actually a little more effort than looking for squiggly red lines under the word, but you may find you actually can follow a discussion better. But don't try it in your work. It might actually slow you down.
Just because someone does not receive
their paystub, does not mean it was not sent. With the banks being closed, if funds were sent and missed the deadline, it would be the next business day before it is posted. I always get my paystub the day AFTER deposit.
GOOD MTs aren't ... but there are tons of crappy ones
Finding one that is actually GOOD in this business? nearly impossible. I do editing and QA (and have been an MT for 22 years) and I see nothing but horrid work day in and day out.
I work for SoftScript w/ another crappy system
nm
Hate these companies that want you to test BEFORE they tell you the crappy pay!!!
What a waste of time!!!
Crappy company with crazy platform and
sick of working for crappy companies?
I have been thinking about starting my own company. I have done some research and it looks like all I really need is an FTP site, handhelds (that the doc's purchase themselves), and to get accounts. If anyone is interested in doing this with me let me know...or if anyone has any other information on starting a company input would be appreciated!
Why are we working as IC's and the companies are making profits off of us? Let's cut out the middle man and make the money we deserve!!
My idea is that a bunch of us get together and create a business. We put together a good sales letter...we all do our part in mailing these letters out, i.e., finding accounts.. We decide how much we want to charge per line, (I believe the going rate is around 11-14 cents a line).
These are just some ideas....Anyone interested??
I quit because it was a crappy company. I worked in QA.
There was so much crap like you are spewing here. My standards are much higher than SS and I told H so when I quit.
Didn't receive it either...
I'm not directing this question to you but just wondering why some of us receive these E-mails and some of us do not? Does it matter what account you're on?
You should receive it Saturday. Sometimes
xx
Anyone receive their Medscribe (FL) W2 yet?
zz
Anyone from Spheris receive theirs?
xxx
Trust me.. I have come from a lot of crappy jobs that is why it was so refreshing to hear some
excitement over the possibility of another job.. one that may be a great hidden treasure. I just think it is great when people never lose that newbie enthusiam even after some not-so-great experiences. I admire you totally and best wishes.. I hope this is the job you have looked for..If so, sign me up LOL
Sounds like the place I used to work for. The one with crappy program?
nm
Sounds awesome to me. I only get $2.50 a page and the crappy part is...
If I only type half a page, I get paid for half, a quarter of a page, three quarters, and so on. I'm not happy about this at all, especially since all I've been given to go by for examples are a few reports typed by someone else. There have been days I've worked 10 to 12 hours and I'm quick! I think you should be paid by the line or character. Except in your case, if they are strictly going by pages, you'd better jump on it!
Did anyone receive a phone call yet
or is this all speculation???
MTs don't stay long enough to receive anything
NMN
Sorry, I didnt receive an email. Could you try again. nm
:
They receive money from companies
xx
did not receive yahoo request sm
can you resend it as I did not get it. You have my yahoo email there right? I will be back in about 2 hours adn will check for it again then. thanks so much!!
How can you receive an email form your
company if your email is not typed exactly right? It will never be delivered into your inbox, but will go right back to the company, as 'not able to deliver.'
No, if they knowingly tested you when you had crappy sound effects what would they treat you like a
.
I heard everyone should receive them by 10/7. Still waiting on mine.

Batch receive/send work?
Is there any company out there where you can download work in batches and send back transcribed reports in batches? I can only get dialup and it is too slow to do 1-3 jobs at a time. 30+ years experience, big 4 and Radiology, Medical and Radiation Oncology. I am currently employed in hospital radiology department but want to go back home. Hate this winter driving!!!
What companies acknowledge MT week and, if so, what do you receive? nm

Sometimes I want to hire the first professional resume I receive!
And just because it is so well done!
Those email wallpapers make my eyes cross and twitch after a little bit of time! If I cannot read it easily, I chunk it.
I hate it that people cannot be more thoughtful of their own careers but I'm not getting paid to advise them of their mistakes.
I agree with the above. You receive no appreciation. I would stay where you are. nm

The QA is rough. I receive a lot of feedback. Looks like those of you that are not happy with your
again and have to bash a company that has pulled ahead of the crowd in terms of employee satisfaction. Sad, sad, sad.
Happy Camper, which company did you receive it from?
Anxiously awaiting gift from TT; hope it is their usual in a larger amount. Don't need cookies, what-nots, etc. as some companies send to their MT's. Love that monetary stuff!
New people hired are last to receive work.

This is the confidentiality clause on email I receive
This email message may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information. If you are not the intended recipient(s), or the employee or agent responsible for the delivery of this message to the intended recipient(s), you are hereby notified that any disclosure, copying, distribution, or use of this email message is prohibited. If you have received this message in error, please notify the sender immediately by e-mail and delete this email message from your computer. Thank you.
The way I translate that whole paragraph is:
I am the intended recipient. The rest of the paragraph does not apply.
However, if I were NOT the intended recipient, THEN I am hereby notified regarding disclosure, copying, distribution, blah blah blah blah.
Go prove your case and get what is owed to you.
Good luck.
I agree. This past year has been terrible with MQ. Never enough work, crappy dictators, no pay for
weekends and holidays anymore etc etc I guess with all their legal woes we are paying for it and then have to have few blanks and 98% QA on dictators I have never even heard of. A joke to be sure and no matter how good the new pay plan is or they allow everyone a window to work then everyone will be working all hours to get lines for incentive which they probably never will. MQ is losing a lot of MTs and I expect that will continue. They seem to just keep pushing and pushing and it almost seems like they want people to leave so it really makes you wonder what is going on here. They really just dont care.
I didn't receive a score but the test was hard.
I'm almost afraid to ask what I got.
Is it okay to not receive any mail from the office for a few days at a time? (sm)
Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. Had been getting memos quite frequently and now nothing since last week. Didn't want to call the office and look like a boob, so thought I would check here first. TIA.
Yes...Career Step has a referral program where you receive something like sm
50.00 for every person who signs up for Career Step through you. I BET they are affiliated. How unprofessional can one co. be?
Quality is quality, and really should have nothing to do with getting new accounts.
MQ isn't scheming against the MTs regarding QA. They just want a quality finished product. Heck, half the slams on this board about MQ are the garbage work the MTs put out. Talk about a no win situation! Getting used to a new account should not lower your quality by any real degree if you are a good MT. Even getting used to new dictators or ESLs. Good MTs still produce quality work, and should not have to fret over QA.
My account went to India, have been struggling to make any money for the last month, crappy work. nm
