No company confirmed...
....and I don't have any intention of mentioning company names. They have the right to conduct business as they see fit and I have the right not to like it. However, I do not have the right to sully their good name. I do hope, that should a company decide to sue people, they remember exactly who they are suing--MTs making X-cpl:) Not like we have a lot to part with!
Thank you both for your advice. Had a hunch and you both confirmed it! nm

I just confirmed with the tech person and the office -- they do NOT offshore sm
and are quite adamant about it. You should get your facts straight.
And it DOES state at their web site that they do not offshore. I had the link at the bottom of my post.
You really should get your facts straight before posting such things. So far, i have been very impressed with the company and how I have been treated. 
No need to feel as if you have to defend yourself.
Like I said, I was confused by what you were asking for exactly. I'm sorry if my post came across as snotty or critical. It's great that you want your people to make more money. However, my experience has been that VR or SR (speech or voice recognition) cuts into MT paychecks and increases income for the MTSO. The reason being that editors aren't paid as much per line to edit as MTs are paid to type. It's just not economically feasible because nationals are still trying to give the best price to the clients just to keep the work from going overseas. BTW, if you mention voice/speech recognition to your employees, be prepared for them to think you're trying to cut wages or positions, too.
I've used Dragon myself with my own accounts, but it was faster for me to type with Expanders than it was for me to edit and "train" the software program to each dictator's voice. Maybe in the long run, it might have been better for me but my clients needed their work ASAP without fooling around with experimental software. I know of some people who redictate the dictation into Dragon, but that was too time consuming for me as well. I'm not sure how the bigger nationals train their VR systems. Maybe you could find some distributors of S/VR for a demonstration?
quick to defend too

This is why people should not defend SM
the company they work for and insist that it's the best thing and that everyone else is crazy for not liking said company. Things can go sour in weeks. The poster who quit was all over these boards ad nauseum about how FANTASTIC TT was and now look.
Dang, I wonder when people defend the Q,
but just because I think they are being unwise to stay with that company, I don't accuse them of being management!
You are way off, and yet you won't stop making your untrue assumptions. If you work for a good company, post your positive information on that instead of attacking companies that we can only assume you are not talented enough to work for.
I think she's posted here on the site to defend the
I thought MDI-MD was running out of work here lately... 
You can defend your company without being sarcastic and rude

Not that I feel I need to defend myself, but I just passed my 2-month mark,
so you would be thinking incorrectly. I am a fairly new hire, but I do have 18 years of MLS experience. I must say, am baffled by your antagonism.
Okay this is nuts
I just clicked on the post asking what post I was talking about, and a little hand shows up - - I'M NOT KIDDING!!!!
ARE YOU NUTS?
TAKE IT! If you don't, let the rest of us know WHERE that job is . . .
OK THIS IS NUTS.
I went to their website and emailed from there. I still got a message saying my email is undeliverable. I'm not wasting anymore time on this. I just wanted to find a good company for part-time work to supplement my full-time (lack of) work.
are you nuts? Documentation is not going to
go away. If anything else, it will increase due to sue-happy people.
I think you are all nuts (there is work)
nm
I would appreciate your not calling me **nuts**
I only got 5 hours during my scheduled shift yesterday and only 3 hours during my scheduled shift today, so I know for sure. No jobs.
Please know the entire story before posting such accusatory names as ***nuts***. My account has no work for me.
Yes, it drive me nuts too
I think I work for the same company as you!
You're nuts! nm
..
was it really 5,000 lines per day - that's nuts - nm
x
absolutely nuts for that pay
The job posting for 0.035/line should be removed from the site as a gross insult for the profession, though I feel that the 8 and 8.5 cents most companies pay now is also an insult! Too many MTSOs and mom/pop shops trying to take advantage of the newbies who don't know any better.
Driving me nuts!
OK, what WAS that from? I remember it, but can't put a face or name with it. Why do I want to think it's Opie from the Andy Griffith show (ok, I'm telling my age, but so are you) :)
That drives me nuts when they do that!!! sm
They say to please flex your time when work is low. Then they send out emails when things pick up and tell us we MUST be on NOW if we are short lines/hours. Yes, my life revolves around you TT! I love sitting at my computer 12 hours a day every day to accommodate YOU! arrggghhh.
All she can say is "Are you NUTS?" LOL. I'd ask. Can't hurt. SM
But did you mean 2000 lines/week or 2000 lines/day?
Yeah, it was pretty nuts.
.
You're just plain nuts. nm

I'm sorry, but this whole thread is making me NUTS!!
You have a new job and nobody is interested in getting you started working. Somebody below has been waiting since DECEMBER? They are IGNORING YOU??? You have receipts that they are receiving your emails and IGNORING YOU, and you wonder if you should be concerned and others like you are sitting around waiting. ARE YOU CRAZY? And you are asking the public if you should be concerned? You are asking STRANGERS if you should be concerned that you have a new job that basically you don't have. This is just pure insanity and again workers like you, or nonworkers really, are what perpetuates the abuse we all receive from MTSOs. How insane is it to start a job and have no work? Would you start your first day at McDonald's and just stand there in the middle of the room if nobody helped you get started? NO. You'd get help from someone there, or you'd walk out. Why in the world you sit here in cyberland and wait is so beyond my realm of imagining that I just can't comprehend it. If you take this abuse, you deserve nothing. Its that pure and simple. Its ludicrous and its embarrassing even reading about it. Sorry.
This person is nuts. She does not know the owner, and if she did sm
she would know that she does not play slot machines. Ever. She goes to casinos a few times a year, not often, and WHO CARES WHAT SHE DOES WITH HER FREE TIME AND MONEY? I know her well and obviously this person does not. This person is obviously trying to hurt the reputation of someone who doesn't deserve to have her name ruined. The truth is that the owner works 7 days a week, more than 8 hours most days. That's why we all have enough work to keep us busy and why our benefits keep increasing and why we do not have pay cuts. Geesh. Personal attacks on someone's integrity. This board is getting worse and worse.
That must be driving you absolutely nuts.
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.
Would you please email me. I have a few questions before I drive myself nuts with this. nm

Anybody else at Webmedx going nuts from technical hassles?
I know better than to post this on their internal message board, as anything that is not 100% happy gets deleted.
This is the 2nd week in a row of technical issues on the client's end vs issues on our end, with the MTs caught in the middle, having to twiddle their thumbs during their scheduled shift, then give up their scheduled days off and work like mad playing catchup. I guess I just want to vent and commiserate . Anybody else in my boat?
I do all that for my animals and people call me nuts!
It just depends on what your priorities are I guess. Some people do that for kids, animals, a house, a car...if it makes you happy--go for it! That whole life it too short and all...
Not anymore. I think the nuts have moved on and the owner is less stressed now. I see a sm
a much calmer atmosphere this time around. I've been back just over a year and it is night and day from four years ago.
6 cents a line for surgical reports for an ESL dictator? Are you NUTS??
I'm just absolutely appalled and disgusted... 
That's going to be nuts...I do ASR work too, plus work split shifts. We'll NEED a spread shee

Six accounts?!?! That is nuts! I am on 3 accounts. nm
