they would have to take the work from someone else. Why would they do that? MTs make a lot more than Med Rec clerks. Make the MTs take their PTO and pay the Med Rec clerks their lower wage. Not pretty but realistic.

you just basically gave the same answer .sm
which is not good enough. Someone's credit could be shot BECAUSE OF SOMEONE ELSE. Then what?
Hey, Donna D. asked a question and I gave an answer...
so why don't you smite Donna D. for keeping the thread going. 
YOu gave Colleen no constructive info. "Run" is not an answer to the question of how a company

May be set on incorrect file setting? type of file??
If you are using, for instance, Express Scribe to listen/transcribe, there are about 10 or so types of setting for the file you use, wav, mp3 etc. If so, go to the top of screen, look for setting. I just click all of them.
I once gave my notice when I was in a non-MT position, gave
2 weeks, but the person I was supposed to train felt like she knew my job better than I did (although she knew squat) and was a pain to deal with, never on time, etc. so I only worked about a week of my notice before I left and told the person I was supposed to train that since she knew more than I did have at it. Anyway the owner wouldn't pay me for vacation. I filed a complaint with the labor board and they were more than happy to get my money for me.
Breitner can threaten all they want to. If you can document that you are owed monies, if Breitner can't prove that you aren't owed monies the labor board will be glad to collect your money. I would also file a complaint with the Attorney General . I have heard several people have had payment issues with them while the still worked for them. If people are willing to let them get away with it by just chalking it up to experience, then they will continue to try to get away with it. I'd contact the IRS too. I don't know what Breitner thinks they can do to you - let them threaten all they want to. A word of advice - DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT.
The file to save is the SPF file.

A lot of MTs don't have C-phones (nm)

Which companies still use C-phones?
TIA
Company that uses C-phones
A Transcriptionist who used to work for me just told me about your post. I use a call-in system that is accessed with a C-phone. My workload is a little light due to the doctors taking last-minute vacations, but if you want to contact me in a few weeks, it should pick up by then. I have a few surgery center accounts, pain clinics, and a plastic surgeon and am looking to pick up a few more accounts.

Ewww, still using c-phones...sm
Sound is HORRIBLE.
didn't know they could dial phones yet..sm
but they ARE pretty smart! Yeah i knew about dogs liking cat food, but you could chase my kitties around the block with dog foot. that's weird.
Sennheiser head phones
Love them. They are not as expensive as the Bose, but they are just as good. They are, however, a little more expensive than your average headphones. They are lightweight, noise cancelling, and very comfortable. I bought my on ebay last year and got a great deal.
they have accounts that require C-phones sm
and also accounts on high speed internet. Not every account is done on the same platform. Full time is 1200 lines per day/12000 pay period. Part-time (if they still hire part-time) is 600/6000. They offer insurance but I can't remember what it is. There is something through AFLAC but I think that might be disability or something.
You could hear from them down the road some time. They try their best to match you up with an account that matches your experience.
Not answering their phones would be a big turn-off for me. I wouldn't take the job. nm

TT management does not answer questions that you ask them; only answer those they want to answer.
I know, work for a long time and tried asking questions, but they just beat around the bush and don't answer the true question that you presented to them.
Maybe it is kite flying weather where you are !!!
Do they have any internet accts or are they all accessed with C-phones or Laniers? nm
s
Agree with this. And bring in your own noise-cancelling phones so you don't have to hear her. nm

Your foot pedal & phones are plugged into your tower like with any other program. Works just fine
s
Same here. Too much fuzz and static on the lines. Redid the hard drive, new phones, new sound card,

I can answer that question with a simple answer!
Strengths - none.
Weakness - all.
A .wma file is sm
Windows media player and so far as I know, you can't play it with anything other than that. I know that ExpresScribe doesn't play those either.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings. I know you would not be testing unless you needed a job and it would be really nice if companies understood that we don't have time to futz endlessly with these things!
you can't file unless sm
you've been officially laid off by your employer... if you are employee status that is
The BBB has a file on them
as thick as the Manhattan telephone directory.
Here is the file I saw on the FTP..
Did anyone else get this file when they logged on to the FTP? Titled Really..
Hon', you really need to get your issues straightened out with respect to giving out the correct usernames/passwords (I've seen two different sets so far), then making sure the promised files are actually there (I'm seeing nothing but empty directory(ies) here).
Sounds like a headache from the get-go for any potential MTs to take on. (...and, please, get something more professional that toocuteembroidery)
WC is for employees. An IC cannot file
a work comp claim.
You can file a complaint with the
distrinct attorney in the city in which they are located and this should put an end to this nonsense. Rubber checks are illegal all over the country. Then file a case in small claim court and include ALL expenses you incurred from late charges, etc., as a result of this check
I don't keep resumes on file, so...
I often get people who send their resume in multiple times in response to different job postings. That being said, if the applicant doesn't have the qualifications listed in the ad, their resume goes straight to the recycle bin without a response.
need a Schedule C to file that on....sm
If they didn't take out taxes and you earned more than $600, you would fill out a Schedule C. If they took out taxes or if you worked for others who did take out taxes, they'd give you a W2-W4 and you'd fill out a 1040 or 1040A.
HTH (hope that helps) 
How do you file a complaint in CA?
Who would you file a complaint with if the company who is not paying is in California? The California Labor Board, Attorney General's office, and Better Business Bureau?
file a complaint with the
Better Business Bureau in your area as well as the area the owner of the MT company lives. This does not take but a few minutes of your time. Consider calling the police to ask what can do? It is illegal to bounce checks........ Good luck!
Save the file...
To say they belonged to MQ would be like saying you can't take your phone numbers out of your cell phone if you decide to change services - or save your bookmarks in IE and use them in Firefox.
When do you file for unemployment?
My job has not had any work for 2 weeks now. If there is no work, can you file unemployment? Or do I wait until they let me go and then file?
Thanks
Wav file problems
I would first try rebooting your computer to see if that solves the problem. Sometimes it is a simple reboot to fix things. I would then try to play them again and if they still don't work then see if they work in another sound program like Windows Media Player or RealPlayer. What wav player are you using?
I have the file names...
... on my computer. Your mileage may vary. Here are mine:
C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersApplication DataDocQscribeMQ1CacheUser Profiles994888324013user.aco
and
C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersApplication DataDocQscribeMQ1CacheUser Profiles994888324013userdic.tlx
If I'm not mistaken, user.aco is your expansion file, and userdic.tlx includes any entries you may have added to the dictionary during spell-check.
So if you search your entire hard drive for files named user.aco and userdic.tlx, you should be able to see where they are hiding in both installations of DQS, and you can copy the larger files (the one with all your expansions and dictionary entries in them) to the locations where the smaller files reside.
Clear as mud?
test file.....
You need to save it to your desktop or somewhere and then open it using YOUR file player, whatever that might be, Express Scribe or whatever. Right click on the saved file and look for open with
If you file a form with the IRS
as an IC and think you should be classified as an employee, and they determine you have been an employee, are there tax/penalty obligations for the IC?
no more voice file test
just a written from what I understand, lots of complaints about the quality of their test files so they 'shelved' it. I'm happy there, takes 2 weeks to get started, I don't think they make you take a physical any more, but still the background check which is almost standard now due to identify theft - - but the supervisor is good, flexibility when you need it. I'm happy, they work for me.
File your tax return based (sm)
on the pay you received and attach a note explaining that the company failed to pay you a portion the pay indicated on the form.
You can file a complaint online at www.bbb.org

Sounds like a place to keep in my file (sm)
I really just wondered how Keystrokes got my e-mail, and it finally occurred to me it would be AHDI. It was a nice ad, no doubt about it. Maybe when I am in the market I'll give them a call.
Thanks.
Could it be done in an Excel file and attached?
I have to send an Excel log with my secondary account, and I created a column with a formula that sums up my line count so I don't have to add it up. I keep it open while I'm transcribing and toggle over and record the information rather than writing it down, then at the end of the day I just have to delete the unused cells, highlight my totals, then attach it to an email. Seems like that would work well for what you're describing.
BB-- any luck with that expansion file? nm

using your own macros expander file
I am looking for a part-time job and have a huge ShortHand file which I do not want to rebuild. Which companies will allow you to use your own macro expander? Thanks!
Transcribing Test File
I have a test file sent to me on IBackup. When I go to open the file it wants to go to Windows Media Player. Does anyone know how I get it to open in Express Scribe? Thanks in advance! Shelly
Or you could right click and file and "open with"..
and then nselect Express Scribe.
The problem with something like this is that anyone can file a lawsuit. It does not mean someone is
My ex filed 15 lawsuits against me due to bitterness. All were dropped after my lawyer went to court a hundred times, but people saw them in the paper and labeled me as a child abuser, deadbeat and crazy person for a while before it was all cleared up.
Just because a lawsuit is filed, does not make it true.
Help! How do I play this test file?
I'm taking a test for a job. I was sent a file that opens in Creative MediaSource. How am I supposed to transcribe this when it's going so fast? I need to use my foot pedal but there is no option. Please someone help me! I want this job!
