It isn't hard to find entry level jobs with the right education. A lot of companies hire from the top 3 schools. Career Step, which I went to, and had many job offers when I first graduated. Andrews and M-Tec. (Hope I don't spark a huge debate on schools, lol).
All companies vary when it comes to hours. Some let you work in a 10-12 hour window, some require a set schedule that you must stick to or get approval not to, and if you get a true IC position you can work whenever you want as long as you have work back in Turn Around Time which can be 24-48 hours or less.
My best advice is to get into this career for all of the right reasons. You have to be willing to learn new things every day, put in a lot of hard work, and it is not easy at first...don't give up if this is really what you want. It isn't just sitting at the computer typing all day..the kind of job people say they would love to do. It is very hard work and very stressful at times. Wouldn't trade it for the world.
Hope that helps. Best of luck on your road to being an MT.

DSP is a compression method that was written specifically to address the requirement of recording human speech. This method removes a considerable portion of the potential sound spectrum. However, the removed data has little impact on a listener's ability to understand what was said. The algorithm rounds off many of the highs and lows associated with the tones found in the original spoken words. Listeners may no longer detect some of the emotions that may have been inferred by these tones, but the actual words will remain quite clear and discernable.
This CODEC is an excellent choice for recording dictation. The CODEC supports a Sample Rate of 8.0 kHz with a Sample Size of 8 bits and mono recording. One hour of Truespeech recording can fit into about 4.5mb of disk space. We suggest the use of Truespeech for Dictation type applications where the speaker's emotions are irrelevant.
Hope this helps.
Local company uses this method with full-time being 100 dictated minutes. Have a friend who works there and says she can meet this requirement in about 5-5 1/2 hours, but very qualified.
Here is what I do, hope this helps
Here is what I do, go into START, control panel, add or remove programs, and do that part. Then, I go to My Computer, C Drive, Programs (and delete out any remnants). You will also still need to definitely take it out of the main part of your computer which is REGEDIT. To do that is very easy, I do it all the time with NO problem, learned it off my computer guy, actually. 
START, RUN, type in regedit, OK. On left side in regedit, go to HKEY_LOCAL _MACHINE, Software, and then just right click on the software name and it will allow you to delete it with a question screen asking if you are sure you want to do so. If you know the exact name of the program or even the exact name of the file it was in, you are safe doing this. You would also need to check in HKEY_CURRENT_USER, and just do the same procedure over again.  Hope this helps you. It looks complicated, but is not.
hope this helps....see msg

I don't know anything about the company, myself.
good luck!
Well then, I hope it helps to reinstall. Come to think of it...SM
when I say that I get those double letters, maybe that is when I open my SC after loading my program. I have no idea! I've never noticed. It's just not a consistent problem, and even when I get the double letters, it's not on every expansion that I'm using, just kinda hit-and-miss. But maybe this is what the problem is!
Anyway, I hope you get your problem sorted out. When you reinstill, your .sc dictionaries (or whatever they are called) will just be right there waiting on you. That is how it was when I got my update. Good luck, and thanks to you, too. :)
Annual performance review criteria--hope it helps!
SC,
Good luck with getting the raise you deserve! I posted a couple days ago regarding my experience with my recent annual review and raise I received. With my company, the annual review is scored with 5 pts being the highest possible to achieve in 6 categories; quality, line requirements, attendance, % to QA, helping out, and communication. They award 1/4 cent/line if you have 4.5+ and 1/2 cent/line with a perfect score of 5/5. They only use the last 6 months of data to calculate total score.
In my experience, e-mails do not work! They are too easily lost and are forwarded to God knows who! Call your immediate supervisor and get their opinion and who to contact with this proposal. Good Luck!
I hope they do not end up 'acquring' Keystrokes.
I hope they do not end up 'acquring' Keystrokes.
I honestly hope you will have a good experience with Keystrokes
I'm sure that not all the supervisors were as hyper as the one I had - she drove me crazy, wanting me to work practically 24/7. The last couple of months I was there, during a 63-day period, I only had 3 real days off where I didn't work at least a couple of hours which ended up turning into five or six. Add that to working 10-12 hours during my 8-hour work days, and I just plain got burnt out.
But that was only one particular client (if you would like the name, please email me). I am sure there were other clients that she could have given me, but she kept assuring me that this was the best client she had.
So I would just say make sure your lead is 1) looking out foryou and 2) telling you the truth (the third time I caught mine in a lie, I quit).
Good luck!
Ugh .. I hope Keystrokes doesn't sell, but no guarantees nowadays. :( nm
The main office was in Bolingbrook but they built an office in Yorkville last fall. SM
I think that the owners live in Yorkville, so it was built close to their house. Nice office, just pretty far out.
No. In Illinois.
They do not offshore.
If it is the one in Illinois, all is good!! nm

Transcription Services of Illinois
Does anyone have any information on this company? I've been contacted by them and have had several email conversations with one person in particular. She seems pretty sure about wanting me to help out and said she would contact me today but so far I have not heard from her, even after sending an email to her regarding this this morning. Just wondering if I should persue this or not. Thanks in advance.

Anything on Southern Illinois Transcription
I am just curious if they have good accounts, what type, VR or straight typing? Are they a good company to work for? Do they pay at least 8 cpl? Thanks
Southern Illinois Transcription...from below...sm
 Please steer clear of this one. the owner is rude, moody, and sends out emails YELLING (all caps) Threatening and if you try to contact other MTs who work on the same account with you, she gets hightly ticked off. I told her she was crazy and then was gone! Maybe she needed medication or something.
interesting. Here is TSI illinois info

it helps if you put where you live - sm
you stated microcassettes accounts - so more than likely maybe something nearby or a hospital that perhaps still dictates the old fashioned way - (AND YES, THERE ARE HOSPITALS THAT DO STILL USE TAPES!!)
so whereabouts do you live
I am FT clinic if that helps! We need a few more
FT MTs on the account I am on due to them adding 15 docs to us.
thanks, that helps a lot. One more question, please. SM
If I have this installed and the Transnet makes some of my Word commands different, does this mean if I am typing in plain Word, then those commands are still different. In other words, when in plain Word, does Ctrl-S no longer mean Save? Thanks for your help.
Thanks for your message, it helps to know...
I am not alone in this battle. I was naive enough to trust MW and that is my fault, I should have been checking my account all along. Then the fact that they offered no explanation, no compensation for the lost investment that can literally never be recovered, and just blew me off is very upsetting. The head of HR just about hung up on me at the beginning of all this, said she had nothing to do with the 401 and referred me to payroll. What a way to run a business, employer of the year twice no less! I gave my notice but still have a week to work because I feel my integrity and work ethic is something to be proud of, even though they have not been fair to me. Live and learn, and move on is all I can do at this point.
Caller ID Helps Me
I have caller ID and whenever I see an 800 number or one that says caller unknown or an unknown name I just don't bothering answering it.
Thank you for your comments. It sure helps! nm

you don't have to clock out but it helps sm
as far as your lph (lines per hour) rate for bonus money. You finish a job, when you release it, you are asked if you want to release this job yes or no and there is a box that says do you want to clock out. If you want to clock out at that time you put an x in that box and release your job and you get clocked out.
It certainly helps if you're not. :))

what helps me is breaking up my day
in 2 and 3 hour shifts. I can just keep my head above water this way and some days I may go above that point. I have heard a few others here share this same strategy. It is hard to sit here for 8 hours straight, day in and day out. I can produce more in shifts that are broken up. Also find the time of day you feel you are most productive. Good luck!
Ok, that helps! Is there high
turnover or are they acquiring a lot of new accounts?
Any information helps. There's nothing
wrong with tooting your own horn! :)
I guess I was just wanting to know if I would get paid on time for the work I did and if there was a steady work flow. Those are my 2 main questions.
