type in what you want to search and then click the circle beside 'mtstars' located right below the Google box, then search. This will bring up archives on your topic, if there are any.

Definitely need the Sted's Derm&Immuno Words and a Path&Lab Words to do derm. Lots of weirdness!
s
Sted's Ortho Words, a lab words book, at least 1 drug book, and your AAMT BOS 2nd

Can you say google
Use google
x
If you google, there are, but only 1 for MT.
nm
YES, it is. It's in the BOS. Google it.
It is in the BOS 2nd edition on page 66 that it is customary to use single space after sentence. It also says it's determined by department, and it's basically optional otherwise as long as you are consistent.
I didn't just make it up. lol
You can google it
Did you google?
I did. Pops right up.
Yes, actually did google
Yes, you are correct.
Google it...
That'd be a good place to start, x.
Go and Google it!
I wanted to find out more information about this company before I decided to send in my resume. I could not find anything by typing in the company name on Google, so I typed in the email address that was listed in the job posting. I found some interesting websites associated with this email account.....go and look!!!!!!!!
Use the google box just above your
post. It does the more recent stuff.
In other words
at least on my reports it is counting each character and space correctly, yet line counts remain much lower on DQS. Numerous others have posted the same thing here.
WORDS R' US
Hello-- I do know for a fact that the company is legit, as I live in the same city as the company. Dont know much about pay, although I do remember that they pay by the dictated minute. Hope this helps!

That would be Belleville, IL.
a few words
I don't know how much you know about the internet but posting in all caps is the equivalent of screaming and you seem to be screaming alot in your post below..
Just briefly, you seem to be posting as an MT, citing your experience with platforms, difficult QA programs, transcribing off the clock - yet you write about concerns that are definitely those of management, getting staff to show up for work, work flow, if you can't work that shift don't apply, we created offshoring so all of you MTs out there… Most MTs I know are concerned with work pools, fair treatment, honesty, timeliness of payroll, quality of dictators, line rate, etc. I have enough respect for the MTs and management that read this board to be able to intuit whether you are an MT or not or exactly what the motives of your post were; maybe to score points, I don't know, but whatever your motive, your post does not address my post at all..
In a very few words without any caps I told the MT asking the question about my experience. My post was truthful and I went out of my way to tell her that my experience didn't mean it would be the same for her and even indicated such things are hard to determine. I don't know if she was an Editor or MT I posted to warn someone who asked for guidance about my experience simply because I wouldn't want anyone to go through what I and others have. And I would want someone to give me the same heads ups if I had asked for guidance on a board about a certain company. It was measured, thoughtful, and brief and not an embellishment or downright lie to make a company look bad. I think you took care of that pretty well with your post.
I am not going to get into any debate with you or follow up any response you might make as you seem to have a lot of anger you are carrying around and maybe even an anger management problem but mostly because you seem to deal in absolutes that most reasonable people do not. Because you don't know of a situation does not mean it doesn't exist, because you have not had a similar experience does not make it an embellishment or lie, but mostly your generalizations and judgmentalness are breathtaking. MTs brought offshoring on themselves, download work and then go shopping, do laundry and dishes all day - that's a lot of laundry and a lot of dishes! - most do not take their jobs seriously, no work ethic, go back to the doctor's office and on and on… I just know that my experience has been MTs, editors and management in the transcription field pretty much run the same as most other professions, a lot of them are serious thoughtful professionals, a lot of them aren't, and painting them all with the same broad stroke because you happen to disagree with them or with what someone posts on a board doesn't give a lot of credibility to you or what you are saying.
As I waded through your derisiveness and sarcasm and anger I just felt bad for you and maybe you ought to think about the fact MT might not be for you…and if you are a member of Alltype management, oh wow…
Words R Us
Does anybody have info on Words R Us out of Illinois? Do they pay on time; how is their QA; voice quality of their files?
key words here are Used To.

In other words, the
p.r.n. racket..................NEVER!!

VOICE RECOGNITION. Nuff said.
Well, then THREE WORDS:
She did the work. The employer didn't pay. Bottom line: Employer owes her the money.
I just used above the same words like you did here
Working for MQ seems intolerable to me from just what I read from their postings here. My work, for the most part, is smooth, nothing like only allowed 3 blanks (I would be in a tizzy then because of our ESLs) and so on. I cannot believe people actually want to stay there. What is the big draw?
Can't find anything on Google, but
Did they post somewhere? Can you glean a potential site address off of their email, if they did post something?
Hopefully it's a tiny company that pays wonderfully, has clear docs, and turns out to be the perfect job.
Good luck!

My first day I was so frustrated, during my break I went to check MT Jobs, I immediately got 2 IM's and a phone call.......and a raise! Imagine that, how would they know otherwise?
Do a Google search for
Cbay India Maryland transcription
and see what comes up. Nearly 1,000 hits. Honestly, you can do better than that.
Do a Google search here. You don't want

Sure there is. Use the Google box on this page, not your

Some posts down below and use Google box

Google didn't help me:(
Found at least 2 MT companies for OSI. Which OSi is getting the bad rap?
found this on Google.
Northeast Transcription, Incorporated (NTI), established in 1994 joined MD-IT
Many posts about them as TTS. Use the Google box on this

You have giggles in your google -

Google the name and the company name
nm
google it. Not complimentary,
low pay, teaching facility from what little I saw.
When you Google them nothing shows up
x
Use the Google search bar towards the top.
It does not work.
name the company; too many to Google.
nm
Check google
I came up with a little bit of info, I think most of it on MT Chat. Most of it sounded good, but I don't know first hand.
Google has a new service
coming out I heard that is very much like MJ but free. I too had MJ but got really bad connections. I liked the email voice mail but not the quality of my connections. My boss absolutely hated it and asked me to please not use it when I called her. I ended up back on Vonage. I had platform issues too when a call came in. I was at a standstill every time the phone rang.
The first box (Google) is for the archives,
older info, make sure you check the MTStars box. The search for box is for more recent info.
Yeah, because there's at least 3 at the top of Google!! NM

No I don't tell newbies to google, I sm
tell them to look it up in their REFERENCE library. No one wants to do that anymore. Kind of like learning to use a calculator but never learning to do the math yourself!
We didn't have google....
I had a dictionary; yes that's it; a medical dictionary. I learned mostly from the dictators themselves. In this day and age, we don't get feedback from the dictators themselves, just QA (most just MTs themselves) and even QA is not always correct.
There are also dictators who wants things spelled a certain way even though it is incorrect. So many caveats, so little time!!!!! :)
If you google them, there is still a website.

You can google it to get a picture of it, but it looks like a
phone and you use it to dial into the a system directly. Usually you are dialing directly into the hospital's dictation system. It has a foot pedal attached. Depending on the company you will need unlimited long distance, unless they have a local number of 800#.
Use the research box, not the Google box and (sm)
see what you find. If it is the same company that has been discussed on this board recently many times, it is not good, several employees have posted about not getting paid and having to turn to legal proceedings to try and get their money.
Again, not sure if it is the same company but do plenty of research. Good luck!
Did you try google???? They have a website.

don't stick by their words
There is way too much of that in this industry.
Thank you. I think those are just made up words.
unfortunately
You have to be kidding. Per your own words, DR
is not the best. Any poor MTs coming from MQ have been beaten to death by now - they don't need another company that is not THE BEST. Let's see - what was I being tactful and leaving out? It takes 4-ever and a day to actually start - criminal background checks - yeah, I know, no big deal, but still creepy - physical exams, and plenty of other hoops - probably a month to get started. Computers were garbage and platform was down often, though none in my account received 1 cent of downtime pay. Platform antiquated and also allowed for prime cherry picking. As a newby, I used to watch the good work get sucked right out of my pool from my coworkers. Backstabbing galore, office politics, no supervision whatsoever. Pay was on the low side, but was told it was due to how great hospital accounts were - not really. MTs expected to adhere to a strict schedule - quality of work was poor as we got hospital leftovers from inhouse staff. DR also has had run-ins with the labor board and were found guilty of whatever it was they were caught doing. So, yes, let these comments scare you - check the company board archives - always lots of negative about DR. In fact, this is the first time I have ever read positives, so I honestly suspect its their recruiter trying to snag some newbies. DR was even posted about just last week - go thru pages and search for them. Good luck to you! Definitely not a good replacement for MQ. If you're close to the breakdown point, as I was when I left MQ, DR is likely to push you right over the edge.
