The rude rude rude post is TRUE
.
You may never - seems this is common from this company - how unprofessional & rude
No need to feel as if you have to defend yourself.
Like I said, I was confused by what you were asking for exactly. I'm sorry if my post came across as snotty or critical. It's great that you want your people to make more money. However, my experience has been that VR or SR (speech or voice recognition) cuts into MT paychecks and increases income for the MTSO. The reason being that editors aren't paid as much per line to edit as MTs are paid to type. It's just not economically feasible because nationals are still trying to give the best price to the clients just to keep the work from going overseas. BTW, if you mention voice/speech recognition to your employees, be prepared for them to think you're trying to cut wages or positions, too.
I've used Dragon myself with my own accounts, but it was faster for me to type with Expanders than it was for me to edit and "train" the software program to each dictator's voice. Maybe in the long run, it might have been better for me but my clients needed their work ASAP without fooling around with experimental software. I know of some people who redictate the dictation into Dragon, but that was too time consuming for me as well. I'm not sure how the bigger nationals train their VR systems. Maybe you could find some distributors of S/VR for a demonstration?
quick to defend too

This is why people should not defend SM
the company they work for and insist that it's the best thing and that everyone else is crazy for not liking said company. Things can go sour in weeks. The poster who quit was all over these boards ad nauseum about how FANTASTIC TT was and now look.
Boy are you ever the sarcastic one!

Sarcastic
I think the company poster was being sarcastic.
How is turning you down for a position rude? Are they, or any other company, obligated to give you
No. As a recruiter, I am seeing this more and more. Maybe the hours you were available did not match what they needed. Maybe your equipment or speciality or background did not match. How is it rude not to hire someone? There would be no need for interviews if everyone was just hired because they applied. I did not understand most of this until I started recruiting. The company I work for is spoken well of on this board and then bashed at other times. I see a lot of people that think they are entitled to a position or a shift or a certain account. It is difficult to be on this side.
She did not even defend herself. She confirmed it. Nuts.

Dang, I wonder when people defend the Q,
but just because I think they are being unwise to stay with that company, I don't accuse them of being management!
You are way off, and yet you won't stop making your untrue assumptions. If you work for a good company, post your positive information on that instead of attacking companies that we can only assume you are not talented enough to work for.
I think she's posted here on the site to defend the
I thought MDI-MD was running out of work here lately... 
I was being sarcastic as in who wants to be millionaire..sm
I quit there long ago for *your* very same reasons - tired of pets, games, and unfair workload.
this whole thread is a jib to their taking up space with their **SOAP** box.
sheeze,
Nah, sounds more like someone being sarcastic
I think it was someone's attempt at sarcastic humor in that the board is pretty much full of nothing but MDI/Transcend threads.
I think they were just trying to be funny :-)
My only contact with them was rude. The front office person or whomever schedules interviews is rude
This was about a year ago but I set up an interview and either I was supposed to call them or they were to call me at a certain time but I totally spaced off the time change. The lady went off on me and told me that they had no interest in me because I couldn't call on time etc. Rude. There is no way I would ever work for someone like that.
Not that I feel I need to defend myself, but I just passed my 2-month mark,
so you would be thinking incorrectly. I am a fairly new hire, but I do have 18 years of MLS experience. I must say, am baffled by your antagonism.
Are you being sarcastic or serious? I thought it was a good post. nm

good for you, considering that they want to bring us down to Indian clp!. (I am being sarcastic!)nm

Just be rude..out and out rude so they have just cause to "fire" you.. haha..What a bunch of i
Who would want to work for incompetent people like that. Time to change your phone numbers. They are like bad stalkers.
Rude answer to a rude post. nm

3 words, rude, rude, rude....sm
the owner sends out UGLY and NASTY emails to the MTs. The communication is just a disorganized mess and they hire you as an IC, but pretty much treats you like an employee. Emdat sucks and pretty much the accounts are not that great. VERY hard to get your lines in Emdat platform. They LOVE to FIRE....when in actuality.....(that is the term they use)...you cannot FIRE an IC, you can lock them out of the system and I guess that is firing, but those two words have always been a pet peeve of mine....hearing when MTs are fired as ICs....Just my opinion

Rude, rude posters
Hope you rude posters find a good fit for you. Don't run down OSi because some of us like them. No problems either and I have 10 years experience. No newbies here like you say. Love the accounts I'm on. Hope the complainers find a good home, but if not, they will be back and on another company's case.
It is so rude to call QA rude because YOU have
been stuck on QA hold for six months!! And the other poster above - if you are getting QA notes and they are including your supervisor, which you imply is not the norm, then YOU are the one responsible. It matters not if you've been an MT for 1 week or 30 years - if your skills are not up to par, they are not up to par. Many MTs get cleared from QA hold within hours or days at most - companies do NOT want to hold you up from producing, nor do they love to waste their $ on MTs on QA hold. You really need a reality check. And no, I am not rude! It is always, always the MTs lacking in skills who get pissed at QA - no form of feedback is acceptable to that type - even sealed with a kiss and a big bow! 
Rude! Recruiter was very rude to me.
She had an attitude right off the bat.
I find your post sarcastic.... shrug shrug
Cute! Sarcastic, but cute. nm

rude
Don't tell someone "get out of the business"... who the h are u?
Weekend work should be optional....... or hire people who want to work for a premium. Forcing people breeds discontent. So there big mouth.
rude rude rude
Those of you who NEVER have a typo cast the first stone.
They were not rude to you because you
took their offer. It is funny you say they charge because they claim they do not.
You are the one being rude.. sm
Your post sounds like deja vu. I'm not the one doing the name calling. I merely stated a fact as I know it. Say what you want. Everyone here knows the truth.
Why be so rude about it?
If you don't have an answer to that question, don't bother to post a reply. It's annoying.
wow, are you rude!
I hope you don't treat your family that way!
I happen to live by myself, and all I know is, I have to be able to make enough money to pay my rent, etc, etc., and I could not make anything with KS. I have MS, and cannot work out in public because people make fun of the way I have to live. So, like I said, walk in MY shoes first before you criticize ME! I have found work again. I have been an MT for 5 years, now, and love doing it, but I need some money to live on.
rude QA
I have been a Transcriptionist for more than 20 years. I was let go from my job at the hospital because of my sons illness. I worked for Medquist but made more money 10 years ago than I did when I got fired for questioning how they calculated their lines.
I started with a company at home in 1/06. I have benefits which are very expensive but the pay is OK. Nothing like the good old page count though.
I have been on full QA for 6 months now. I think it has something to do with the editors getting paid for QA-ing us. I was constantly getting emails in BOLD basically yelling at me. I did complain about it and have treated with respect since.
I think these QA people think we are all from India and have the right to ridicule.
You are very rude - sm
I believe the poster was wanting ANY response, positive or negative, about getting the job or not. No one said they felt they GOT the job. If you take the time to test, and some of the tests are lengthy, they at least should give a response to you, especially if you have tried to contact them, as the OP had obviously done.
There is no reason to have rudeness. Read the post more carefully. You obvious misread it or wanted to misinterpret it.
rude
I did not intend to be rude. It is rather sad to see someone with bright hopes and plans based on not enough information. I have had and friends have had such snow jobs by recruiters that it is difficult to believe anyone any more. This board is populated by honest, hardworking people in a declining, sweatshop industry (I've been around 20 years) and it makes me sad.
Thanks but I'm not being rude. (sm)
There is a lot of information out there from as little as 2-3 weeks ago that he/she might not have come across without doing a search first. So, you see I'm not being rude at all, quite the opposite.
Rude.
The state boards are very inactive.
I'm sorry, I truly don't mean to be rude
And please correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that this was a company board where people can (are supposed to?) post their questions about MT companies?
I am far from new to MT, but am new to this website, and I only posted my question after I had already been trying to search in the archives. Did I break protocol?
I don't mean this in a rude way, but
why does this matter? I don't get it.
RUDE. nm

Now that was rude.

RUDE
You are so rude to people. I am glad I do not work for you!!!!!! I feel sorry for your employees. You must be one miserable person, I pity you.
Was not trying to be rude...
And I was not just talking to you giddy pc guru. I was simply trying to say that sometimes there are reasons to which no one knows about and everyone here just automatically thinks the worst about everyone without giving them the benefit of the doubt.
Rude!
this board is nice w/o all the rudeness. why are you so testy? my gosh, if I were moderator of this board, I would ban you for being rude!
Rude QA
The one that nitpicks your work to death, i.e, Quality is more important than Quantity and gets p.....d if you do too much work while first on QA that she has to read. If she gets too much work for her liking, she'll only let you do 2-5 jobs a day. (What the heck...SHE's still getting her full-time paycheck, right?) My friend lasted about a week with her... she had her keep her IM on full-time in case of emergency (SIC) . Acct. specs are an encyclopedia... Half of the time was spent on unpair/demographic work on the accounts... lines?? what's that?? T
You do not have to be rude...
These are legitimate concerns and no one is airing dirty laundry. This is a great company and like some of the posts above, people just want some reassurance.
No need for people to come here? Hope you do not ever need anything...
how rude of you! you could sm
have not been so snippy.
How rude.
I guess some people were not taught if you do not have something nice to say do not say anything.
No wonder they are rude to you
//
Hmm, not trying to be rude, but obviously at
$5.00 an hour compared to 0- no job now I mean is that really realistic? First of all you came off as talking like no one else cared about their quantity if they made a reasonable amount on VR. Just because you cannot hack it does not mean everyone is like you. I make a decent salary and get very good reviews, always. At not even $5.00 hr wage now, why are you defensive about the truth?
You were and are rude. sm
I'm in QA, and I can distinguish between a medical document and an informal online bulletin board. Google the word troll (and know that quotation marks don't work here, sweetheart), and you'll find one called The Grammarian. You're a troll, plain and simple.
how is that rude?
It's not rude! Why not read the archives is not a rude thing to say. It can be helpful, but of course some people would rather be lazy and have things handed to them on a silver platter.
Cut me a break!
