It takes time but can be done
First find where your templates are kept by clicking on Tools, Options, File Location where it will show you where your templates are stored.

And I'm sure that's clear as mud! Good luck!
too much going in and out.....takes up too much time.

It takes no more time at all
to behave in a respectful manner towards anyone - no more.
I think the problem is communication through e-mail - cowards hide behind it and spew out orders in a way that they never could face-to-face. Ahh, power!
The cowards are given no rules for sending out e-mails to the people they - the cowards - consider their employees.

Did my time card too, takes a while. (sm)
I have been keeping my logs of job numbers and in and out times/total lines in a spiral notebook and then transferring them to a template for time cards on the computer and attaching to E-mail. There has to be a simplier way. I spent 45 minutes this morning getting this all done and totalled up.
All suggestions welcome.
this editor takes the time because...
that's what I've been told to do and if I don't take the time to add those apostrophes, then the docs want to know WHY.
Not all QAs make changes just for the fun of it or because we've got an overwhelming desire to find something to correct. We do it because we have a boss too and if we don't do things the way the client wants it done, then that client goes to our boss, who in turn comes to us to find out why we're not doing things the client's way.
It takes just as much time & knowledge, and in
many cases can be much more time consuming. The only reason it pays less is so the MTSOs can make a larger profit. It s*cks and is a rip-off for MTs. You have to do basically triple the number of lines to make the same amount of pay as regular, and that's impossible to do. You can't listen to reports at triple speeds, and even if you could, it takes way too long to make all the corrections of that ASR mess.
No way. It takes just as much time in many cases
to do VR as to do straight transcription, so that would be about 1/3 of regular pay for the same amount of work/time. THAT'S RIDICULOUS! We have to stand up to these companies. I wonder how many charge the client the same amount but just cheat the MT?
If an MT takes time to go through the testing process...
MTSOs should take the time to respond, even if it's an auto-response, letting the MT know that either they did not cut the mustard or that the position was filled already. It's the decent thing to do. That's the benefit of computers. It's not the personal touch most would prefer, but it sure beats sitting around waiting for an answer.
Takes a lot of time to hear back
I was job hunting in July and had the same experience, no responses. It took weeks to start hearing back, then the responses started coming in. I even got some responses 2 or 3 months after applying. It just seems to take a long time right now. You have to be very patient.

Now, if you're referring to QAing, that's a whole different thing. It's MUCH more stressful than MTing & takes more experience, so I've never really understood myself why the pay is lower.
but that still takes time to copy/paste
This company prob charges their client the same rate for the entire report; everyone is feeling the crunch! So, let's hit the MT's pocket; I'd pass on companies like that.
Any company will leave you alone if you do your work, so that's not a plus! 
Less than a month. You will get it back, just takes some time coming

All-Write
I am looking for some information on this company. Are they flexible? Plenty of work? Do they require a certain amount of lines per day for full time or part time? Any information would be greatly appreciated!
I write down all the
jobs I do. I am an IC and have to submit an invoice each pay period, so I always compare what they have with what I have to be sure it is correct!
write me
I sent you an E-mail, but in case you don't get it, will post on here as well. I left the Q three years ago and now work for a company I really like. They are small. I've recommended them to people in the past and even though I tell them up front what it pays, some think they are the exception. It pays 7 cents and goes to 8 cents after QA...and stays there, but if you're really interested, let me know. The platform is Emdat/InScribe. Very easy once you learn it. Very frustrating until you do :)
Pleeze don't write another one Flo
OMG that is the most stupid thing I have ever seen next to the first one of course!!
Why would you ask here? Write the recruiter and ask her.

All-Write Transcription
I was wondering what you could tell me about All-Write Transcription. Does anyone here work for them? Any feedback would be appreciated.
Sonya
Anybody know anything about or work for Med-Write?...
Looking for any information. Thanks.
All-Write Transcription...anyone?...
Good, bad or ugly? Anyone with any experience with them?
Thanks!
please don't write in all caps

Write One Transcription
Hello all! Writing to ask about a company called Write Now Transcription...anyone works/worked for them, etc? Heard from them today. 
Yes and another reason I write
them down is sometimes, they will email me for missing work and I can go back and see when I sent it back to them and get it straightened out. If I had not written it down, I could still find it in the logs on the computer, but it is much easier to just loko at that date on my paper.
This could be your own opportunity to write your

Yikes .. right, not write. nm
Interesting. What exactly is it you write?

Have you ever heard of tax write off? sm
Either give it to the government or let employees enjoy it as a write off. More companies should do this sort of thing for bonuses, MT week, Christmas, etc.
If you don't like it, move on and build your own company. When the up and ups in a company does is not really anyone's business but the business owners.
Did you write that post?
Care to share some specifics? I see posts in the archives calling her mean and then your post calling her trash, which is not enough to go on to make a decision. Just sounds to me like disgruntled MTs. Care to share your experience? What was it she did that was so awful?
Why didn't you just write down "Not enough." nm
:}
Definitely can be an employee and write these things off.
Turbo Tax walks you through and also your tax advisor can assist you.
To write your senator/congressman
I just put in the name of my senators and I got directed to a home page and I could then E-mail him direct. Which I did telling him that if all of our jobs go overseas then no one would be working to pay his salary. They need to start taxing these companies that do this as they are missing out on a lot of FICA and fed taxes, etc. Don't know if it will do any good but I put in my two cents worth for all of you losing your jobs. Also wonder if the price is going DOWN to the clients, that would be interesting to know.
Good luck to all of you.
Do you want to be one? Write to the recruiters who posted
and maybe they will tell you. That kind of information could cost them their job if posted on a public board. Leave them alone.
Correct - I don't want to write a book.
If you want more information, please email me. I can only say what I experienced.
I think what Transcend does is write you a letter
telling you that because you did not make incentive you are considered part-time and no longer eligible for benefits. This is what I have heard. But please talk to your supervisor because this may not be the case. Good luck. I know they are a stickler for making production no matter what the circumstances are.
I put my email at the top up there and no one cares enough to write. They just want to complain
and tell untruths about this company. Some are a good fit, others not, but the things that I am reading are definitely not true. I would not worry about constant complainers. These people would not fit in anywhere and I am not upper management either nor am I lower management.
I would write them an email if it has been a couple of days.
Never hurt to try.
This is tragic. I hope you also write to AAMT who
has supported outsourcing and anyone else in our industry. In the meantime, go to the Jobs Board of this site and email all companies who have advertised jobs on this site as well as other sites and put those feelers out.
ALSO, I HOPE that none of you buy into that computer at that whopping deal of $800. You realize of course that you can buy a brand new unused one for that much. Tell them to send overnight ship tags to you so that you can return their computer.
All involved in this traitor type of deal should hang their heads low and I hope they are the very last to find good old American jobs.
Good luck to all of you. There are lots of companies out here and many of us have the same fate no doubt in our future, but some of us work for companies who will fight that type of fate up until the very end.
Again, write some of those companies. I am seeing many on the Jobs Board of MT Stars who are advertising. Put in your Subject line that you are a soon to be out of work Heartlander so as to let them know that you are not just one average MT who looks everyday for a better company.
Hang in there. You will find a place in our workforce. We will be looking out for you. BTW, I will make it known to my company that this has happened and let our recruiters know to look out for the MTs and QA staff from Heartland. We try to take care of our own.
I would love to write a letter to the account I used to be on
and tell them that their work is being sent to Vietnam now. I know for a fact that they have already threatened to take the account away from SPI due to major issues with TAT. I'm sure if they knew about Vietnam that would be the last straw. Tempting.
The book contains suggestions. They don't write the rules
they merely published them in a format convenient for us to review - save your anger for the JAHCO and the American Medical Association.
LOL .. I'll bet you are write. UGH on the carbon paper ... sm
We typed in triplicate, so had to correct 3 documents each time I made a mistake. Forget the good old days in this case ... I am going to give my PC a big hug right now! 
I think you should write novels or short stories :-) nm

Correct, But don't write checks in advance b/c
if you write them Friday, chances are the bank is going to post them 1 minute before midnight and the paycheck hits the bank midnight. You will look for some nasty overdraft fees. Although the check is dd like clockwork and the bank knows it, naughty naughty to write checks in advance. Bad lesson to learn the hard way!
Agree the post(s) are quite obvious. This is not how we write here. SM
This is a fine example of my question: How are editors not having to make major changes to reports coming back from overseas? No matter what anyone is saying, there has to be some major editing. Possibly not so much in regard to medical terminology, but just misuse of proper grammar. This has to be creating a lot of work if you have to edit almost every sentence in a report. But I guess, if the overseas MTs have a doctor dictating who knows our language properly, they get to type verbatim. Just curious how overseas MTs do when they transcribe for an ESL doc from a different country here in the U.S. who is not so efficient at dictating. It has to be a mess.
FOR HIGHER WAGES WRITE YOUR LEGISLATORS!
We have to take our cause to the national level. Below is the link for all the legislators' email addresses, and don't forget to send one to the Commander in Chief! Look what he has done already for us little people (the homeless lady in Florida he helped find a home)! Even send one to the First Lady, it'd be a great cause for her to get behind, since the real backbone of this industry is us women.

Tell them we need their help in ensuring that we keep our jobs HERE, in the USA. Also, you'd think HIPAA would totally frown on sending our work out. Point out all the information that gets bounced around in other countries by outsourcing overseas...I wouldn't want MY info going over there, would you?...would they?
The way this will help all OF us MTs, and this is the ONLY way to help, as it will put the work back in the hands of us capable US MTs, here in the US. When that happens, we will demand the wages we deserve and NOT wages from the 80's and 90's! At that point, once the demand goes up for our services because they HAVE to use us, we have to get tough, band together and demand what we're worth.
If we spent as much time (myself included) griping to the people that can actually make this happen as we do posting on here, we'd REALLY get the ball rolling. How 'bout it? Instead of replying to MY post, email the Powers that Be!!!! javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','');
I'll write, but not on AHDI's behalf - (sm)
Instead, I'll write on behalf of myself, and the American medical transcriber. I will ask them to bring at least part of the American MT's work back home by imposing a financial penalty PER JOB for each American MT job that is offshored. And I'll also give them an earful about how ADHI has sold not just the MTs downriver - people whom they led to believe that ADHI was their voice and their advocate - but the American public as well, whose private medical and personal information are at increased risk by being offshored, not to mention the quality of the record itself.
25% sounds good to me too. I put it in my regular account, but I write it somewhere else so I don&#

oh dude, I totally write like I have Parkinson's... bad micrographia. nm
Buying reference books a tax write-off, yeah? (nm)
My husband is a Christian minister - I write -Christmas-
I find no offense at all with Xmas. If you do your research you will find this is true.
