sorry for the typos...long day---lol

Just remember... proofread! You had a bunch of typos in that long-winded post!

Scuse me. I was not the poster who harassed. I was
just passing through and this is my professional opinion after being in the business for many years. That was my only comment thank you very much.
I just thought I would throw my opinion into the pot. I could really care less as I wasn't looking for the job.
A good mix. I don't mind ESL docs. I think that some U.S. docs are worse! nm

tired, tired, tired of all the tech
problems with these platforms. I just want to work on an old fashioned program, like WP5.1 or Medrite, maybe with voice wave. Too many problems. Does anybody know any companies that use something like these. Just call me a dinosaur lover.
We don't want 2 shoot U now!
Sounds like you've been thru it! Good luck away from those people...yuck.
Shoot me an E here then
.
Well shoot me....didn't know
Like I said...I have never been here before and I DIDN'T KNOW. So I apologize for whomever I offended, freaked out, whatever. I didn't come on here to be attacked. I have enough stress as it is. I came to ask a simple question and I didn't KNOW I did anything wrong. Can you back off now?
A crap shoot
Trust nothing from Spheris. You could luck out and get a decent manager and account, but it's a crap shoot. I don't have enough time, energy, or room to describe that circus. I can't believe most of them can sleep at night. Certainly you could find a few nice people and accounts to make your life tolerable, but suffice it to say, the culture is atrocious. I don't believe I ever received a straight answer from anyone in that place about anything of an important nature, and usually, the inquiries are just blatantly ignored. They could give a rip about the quality that goes to the client which made me crazy. Everyone is managed en masse. The platform I worked on was friendly. I can say that.
Shoot for at least 13-16 min an hour so you get at least...
$15 an hour. I make $19 to $25 an hour. It took me time to get to that amount and I had to get used to the account and set up my shortcuts, etc. Believe me, those minutes add up fast. You would have to type about 230 lines an hour every hour to make that on 8 cpl.
well then shoot yourself in the foot!
I'm telling you, these people are as honest as they come. I see the problems posted here, but one never knows all the details behind the post either. My experience says they are great to work with.
holy smokes .. shoot me!
I talk to people daily about transcription and I could not agree with you more .. what a sad state for professionalism. You could be in the cellar transcribing in your undies, but I do not need to know this and most of the hard working MTs out there who daily do make a difference are offended by the visual. Working remotely is not a given, but it is a boon to people with children, with disabilities, with limited access to a strong job market. It does not mean that you do not take what you do seriously and that you give it your best. I am so fortunate where I am to have a great team of people who work hard, turn around good work, keep their end of the bargain we make, and appreciate that they have a great situation and respect themselves for having achieved a great account, good pay, good feedback and employee status with good rates and benefits that are very affordable. My intention is to keep it that way and thank heavens mostly I have my wits about me and choose carefully and well. Our MTs are professionals and we thank our lucky starts for them each and every day. The interesting thing is that I think that a recommendation for someone to come to work with you is the most sincere form of flattery and while we add to our ranks, I am getting so many referrals from our own MTs.
It's basically a crap shoot, IMO
It sounds like you have a good impression of both companies, but the one seems to be more organized than the other. Go with your gut. I find that's a tactic that usually works well for me.
Good luck. Hope whichever one you choose you end up liking it there.
They are so busy! I would shoot Deb or Wendy an email
nm
The recruiter was on vacation last week. Maybe shoot
s
Shoot, I wanted them to start picketing SM
outside the hospital and telling all the patients their work is going overseas - then I want them to find out the hospital has contracted with a service using only domestic help.
They've been sheltered in the hospital's arms for so long, they thing outsourcing means offshoring. Come join us in the real world, dears, you have much to learn!
Let me check my paperwork and I'll shoot you an email. NM
I usually shoot off an e-mail when I have to make a quick trip
unless it will take longer than 10 mins or so. I live in a small town so nothing takes much more than 10 mins! They have NEVER micromanaged me and I highly doubt they will ever start unless I start to become some sort of slacker, which I won't.
2 typos
maybe no QA?
my typos
Oh yea, please don't give me slack about my typos.. I spend all day giving 99.5% of my typos the backhand, and when I am on the net, well, I really don't care!! Peace out..
sorry for the typos...nm

sorry for typos
It is 4 a.m. and typing all day!
sorry for typos
noticed after reading back my post!
Sorry about the typos!! nm

Sorry about the typos
I meant to type she said she could not hire someone who could not follow directions. My mind went before my fingers on that one.
I apologize for the typos.
I guess I shouldn't try to type when I'm upset.
Grammar and typos
I believe that Goldbird posted the same thing about there being no need to correct people on the board for typos or grammatical errors. There's really no need.
We all make typos!
Daphne,
Let me tell you one thing. I am not perfect and I did not proof my work in typing this note. I was just typing my fingers away and going from one chat to another. That was very unprofessional of you as an MT, supervisor, owner, etc., for you to throw your HATEFUL comments at me about me making a grammar error about worse versus worst. We all make mistakes. I have seen so many owners make mistakes. We are not perfect humans. We all make mistakes. Grow up!!!! You are acting like a child. I appreciate the Administrator on MT Stars to respect me as an individual and realizing that I make mistakes, but you should not advertise on this chat board to thousands of MTs about how stupid I am about making a grammar error where I forgot to proof my work. Why don't you go through every single one of these responses and start editing every single MTs grammar. I can guarantee you will find just as many errors like you did mine. Please be careful what you say in the future. Thanks again MT Stars administration for looking out for me regardless if I made a typo on my grammar!
Well, at least I can laugh at my typos - sm
some of ya'll seem to take them way, WAY to seriously. (And to hopefully avert any more flaming about being sloppy in my work, I'm TALKING ABOUT silly little mistakes we make when we're dashing off quick posts & emails.) And do you really think my thread is actually TESTIER than some of the total ragging that's been going on whenever someone on these boards stands up and calls a spade a spade?
Not!
Please excuse the typos...been up since 4 a.m.!
nm
Not really. Typos happen.
`
Typos happen, but
That is why you proof, and proof again, a document that is important to the image of the company. It looks extremely unprofessional!
Were the typos there for a reason maybe? nm
.
few typos in that last post...
I did already email the ones who asked.
Hope we all find the perfect company and make really great money!
Ahh Shux on the typos-
I thought I had an editing option before it posted. Be kind typing police :)
Exuse typos (sm)
Title should read: SS owes everyone on this board and the other board her deepest apologies.
Also, 1st sentence last word no should be deleted.
I guess I should calm down and take a deep breath before posting in anger!
Love the typos in the ad....
65 charter count and trasncription, LOL!!!
Sorry for the typos in the post above, I am
just taken aback by this sudden news and the words are coming out pretty quickly. The correct words are They and going. Sorry for typos.
I'm more offended by the typos in the ad. nm
I agree with this regarding typos, but not a
grammar mistake that appears in the same post over 10 times, this really makes me cringe.
IMO if one is too tired to post without making 'cringing' grammar mistakes, then just log off and go to bed.
Tomorrow is another day!
Don't have my readers on, sorry for typos
dd
Excuse the typos please

Could be because all they can get from the docs is 11 cpl....nm

ESL docs
Im having a very hard time with all the discussion that I see on the boards regarding ESL doctors -- I have been in this business 20+ years and it takes time to develop an ear to be able to understand ESL doctors -- if you have a friend who is an MT, have her on instant message and ASK what the doctor might be saying -- there have been times too, with her and my experience where she has played her stuck spot back and I heard as clear as a bell what the doctor was saying -- unfortunately, the schools with their training don't do ESL doctors and this is the reason that 99.9% of the companies wont hire without experience - PLEASE resign yourselves that ESL docs are going away unfortunately
with ESL docs, you just never know..sm
You could have great ESL dictators, and at .09/line, you would be paid at least close to what a good Transcriptionist is worth (still not enough as our wages are pitiful now). On the other hand, if you have really terrible ESL dictators, that .09 could easily become comparable to making .05/line if you have to slow down to understand the doctor. With ESL's, you really don't know until after you have made that commitment. However, as a previous MTSO, I would never give one person all of the crappy dictators. Rather, I tried to distribute the work evenly to give everyone a fair shot at a decent line count. Good luck in your decision. Try bargaining. Tell them you feel ESL doctors are worth the extra compensation because often times your hourly production is decreased because they do not dictate proper English sentences, mispronounce words etc, and tell them you believe the work is worth .10/line and you will strongly consider the position.
Docs
who eat, slurp, roll hard candy or lozenges in their mouth, sniffing their nose constantly all while speaking....especially the eating while dictating drives me CRAZY! It is just like having a rude person standing right next to your ear eating smacking his food. GRRRRRRRR
the docs may not NEED it but its sm
not for you to decide. If thats what they want and you do their work, then you do it or you don't work. I don't like it either, but they don't dictate their reports to suit the lifestyle of your or me. I don't understand why people can't see its the profession, you aren't going to change it. you need to get a new profession.
As far as the grocery clerks and weekends, etc. etc. They don't all call in sick and not work. Years ago when some of these supermarket chains were union, they made good money and those people worked their hind ends off, weekends, nights, holidays the whole bit. I know because my hubby is now drawing retirement from one of the chains. Seems to me we have a whole generation of younger folks that don't want to work but like the other poster said, they just want to p*ss and moan!
One more thing - sorry for any typos. It is bedtime! nm

I do agree with some of your post but 6 TYPOS..sm
I do agree with some of what you typed - the small mindedness and all that, but you definitely do have 6 typographical errors just in that little post and yes, it's just a bulletin board.....but if one is a master MT, well that reflects usually in everything that passes through their hands...including some internet posting on forums/boards.
just my nickel's worth....
Excuse my typos. Not enough coffee yet! :) nm
