You all automatically assume my quality is low...? that is silly.
that is what I find disturbing. You all sound very anti-MT, in my opinion.
Rather than meet the issues (with the exception of perhaps 1 post) I brought up head-on, you turn it around on me, you have made everything personal, you have ganged up and attacked me with incorrect assumptions and rude comments that I am just burned out, and assumed I am a low-quality MT.
One year ago I was making about $16+/hour (on average), today transcribing more lines, I am averaging a little over $11/hour because of (I am told) staying competitive with almost third-world countries and technologies. Well, I do not want to do QA just to make more money.
That is not burn-out, that is trying to fight for something I believe in. Then I come to this boards, and read a lot of QA people posting how much they make, like $16/hour--what I used to make...
I would never work in QA just like I would never work in management. Already have done it and I am not interested. I enjoy just transcribing.
The great divide I talk about is extremely obvious in most of these posts here...how could anyone not see that, it is so clear.
I got blasted because I put in my opinion, but I got blasted personally.
What it sounds like to me is a lot of hostility from QA to MTs because you obviously have a lot of low-quality MTs. If that is the case, I apologize, but that is not me. I resent the implication that it is, just based on my opinions.
Every post on here has attacked me, and that to me proves my point a million times over...there is a big divide between QA and MT. Instead of just whining about how awful MTs are, and visa versa, something should be done to bring us together.
MTs are also editors and should be trained as such. Personally, I do not even leave many blanks, and those I do it is with great appreciation and respect that I ask QA to help me.
Working on VR, especially, we should all be QA and should all have those skills.
I also am referring a lot to bigger companies I have worked for who use QA as a tool to lower MT pay (even good MTs).
I have never said I do not make mistakes, either. If anyone read my posts I clearly agreed to constructive criticism and having QA to help when stuck on a report.
The tone of hearing QA complain about MTs, I just wanted to remind people that we are also hitting a report head-on, where we are also finding correct demographics, searching databases for doctor names, etc. Unless on VR, we are not just reading through an already transcribed report...
Also, if you all have such a terrible time with MTs, why not get with management and find a way to hire seasoned MTs or find ways to coach them.
The great divide is, in fact, just what someone rudely posted is the feeling of being disconnected. In all honesty you have to admit even if only to yourselves, all we hear is mostly negative, negative, all the time. We are not kept up to date on changes, they just happen. We have no voice, no say. Our jobs our in jeopardy every day, any minute they can be taken away, you can be fired, or not even fired, but work can just dry up for an MT who disagrees with management, or perhaps has questions. QA can make or break an MT just like a supervisor.
I worked at ______ and most of the QA people were sadistic, and could never agree even amongst themselves. They would torment MTs.
All my opinions, I stick to them...and all these posts have done for me is reconfirm a lot of what I have felt.
Work not automatically routed/pooled. s/m
On the accounts I am on, I choose the work type that needs to be transcribed first based on TAT. MDI trusts ME to make the right decisions/choices. They don't have to make it for me by pooling/routing all the work.
Does Webmedx automatically do an annual review process? sm
I recently had my 1-year anniversary and have not heard anything from anyone about a review. I don't know if I should say anything to my STM yet or not.
There are different servers.

speaking of their own servers.....
anyone have a problem with Dictaphone while working on ExText adding up lines sloooooooowly as in they don't start to show for 3 - 4 hours and then trickle in???
but maybe not as long as they are on different servers (?)

Good programs can be run on faulty servers
.
Some facilities or hospitals keep their own servers in-house sm
to store their medical records. eScription is a software program used to access those files.
It all depends on how each client handles their contracts with eScription. Not every client or hospital is the same.
Someone crashed 1 of USMLSU's hosting servers, but we have 3 backup sites :)
There are people that definitely feel threatened by this show of solidarity and the discord with reason.
Over the weekend one of the hosting company servers used by the Initiative (donated server space, bandwidth and email services to us) was hit with a SYN flood. The hosting company was rendered helpless for a few hours, because the attackers used lots of different IP addresses, but we have 3 other backup sites because we anticipated something like this.
They are afraid because we are all agreeing on many things that are wrong with our chosen industry. They are afraid because they have mistreated and cheated many of us, and if we are not at each other's throats they are no longer in control of our futures.
I have seen more intelligent, informed posts on this board in the past month than ever in my many years of visiting this site. I have faith in our joined strength and do believe that we are making a difference.
Why else would a server hosting company have only ONE server attacked this weekend - the server that housed one of our 4 sites.
The owners of WebHostPad are livid and bound and determined to prosecute the attackers. We have angered some powers that be to the point that they are willing to destroy a local business to stop us?
Nah. I don't think so.
