just a suggestion. Again, nothing bad was said by poster, but it does have the phrase over and over again.
I apologize for not knowing that you are not interested in what happens on other boards.

Post here in Jan. 2007 said they have mandatory overtime. Is this true?

similar post a month ago or so, someone wondered this....

Great post! I have gone through similar situations
But never give up... there is always hope at the end of the storm... just make it through the storm.
Be careful, DB. I posted a post similar to yours and it was deleted.

Might be SoftScript. Wording is similar to an ad elsewhere and they did post Anon. here before. nm

I didn't see that in her post at all. In fact I wrote something similar...please sm
I believe what she meant was similar to what I wrote which was that I felt a majority of the nasty posts probably came from isolated people that take crap all day. These types normally get walked on because they aren't outspoken enough in real life to say what they feel. Then they anonymously come here (or other boards)to take out their pinned up frustrations. It's merely an opinion and you know what they say about those.:)
The reason I believe this to be true is because I've encountered way more nasty people on-line than in real life. If some of the posters said the same nasty remarks to a person's face that they do hiding behind a screen name, #1) They'd get fired. #2) They'd have NO friends.
#3) They'd lose a few teeth.
Think about it.
Just came upon this post and LOVE it, thanks for posting, have one thing to add....sm
This past year I had a lot of changes, some okay, some pretty bad, but one of the only consistently bright spots has been my job this past year since Februry. Just wanted to share, as they are hiring, perhaps someone else would not like this position, but I have been MT for close to 30 years and feel very compensated, cared for, content, un-stressed, and happy.
My company is on the west coast. They have many accounts from clinic/acute care, sports medicine, ER, primnary care, and just about every specialty. They truly strive to match up each MT with primary accounts, and also with accounts you are familiar/comfortable/proficient in. Work is strictly IC, and they truly work it that way. You basically choose hours/how many/when, there are no weekends unless you want to work, no holiday coverage (unless you want!), very flexible with personal days, sick days, etc, as long as there is sufficient notice for coverage; pay is always corret and ON TIME, although we are paid monthly; Yes it was a drawback the first month, but after that I just took that fat check and budgeted it, no problem.
One of the best things is that we are paid by the GROSS LINE, which is a line is a line is a line, everything counts, spaces, returns, macros, certain headers, it adds up fast and to the the MT's benefit, believe me.
Our platform is MedRite XL on Crescendo network, very easy, fast, user-friendly, Word-based, all you need is a high-speed connection, Windows XP, sound card and foot pedal, training is very laid back, kind, helpful, and very rapid if you have been an MT for quite a while. My boss was just asking me if I knew any fairly seasoned, dependable, well-rounded MTs, and although I have a few friends in the field, they are busy with other jobs they have been at for a long time....I am not a salesperson, I am not a headhunter or anything, never even been QA, I actually over regular old transcription, but I really love this company, I have had some horrible experiences, and these folks have been a JOY to work for this past year. Please feel free to e-mail me with questions, I did not give the name so as not to be too much of a cheerleader. Happy, peaceful, prosperous, and very healthy new year to everyone out there!
I thnk the "Perhaps" post was aimed at ABC's posting above it.
That person did nothing but come on the board to cause trouble and stir up stuff!
That was NOT in my post. Too bad your posting skills are not as sharp as your criticizing ones. nm

Thank you, we all get sick of 1 bored girl after another posting negatively to a post. Give it a br

If one is making 7 cpl in 2007, and they were (sm)
also making 7 cpl in 1977, how does that add up to more money? Only if one works oneself into an early grave.
Here it is 2007, and I WISH I could make $35,000! (sm)
This year I'm gonna be lucky to hit $18,000. :(
Have 2007 BMW, before that 2002 BMW, now
that is is almost 2008, well will just have to see what my better half wants to do. He buys me these, surprises me. I do not know what it cost, what he pays each month, don’t care- He says he wants me to have really good drive and he sees that I do.
Yep, I worked for them in 2007
I used to live in VA Beach and they were the only at-home company that would give me a chance since I had only worked in house and only had 1 year's experience. I did QA of transcription from Indian MTs and the pay was low for quite a bit of editing, but at least I got my foot in the door. As soon as I had enough experience, I went elsewhere for more pay. The owner is a really great guy that is very understanding if any personal things come up and he always paid on time. Their IT people were really great too.
Word 2007 help
Can someone out there with more knowledge please help?
I have Word 2007 and my doucments changed from doc.file to docx.files and I have no idea why. I have had word since 2007 so this is not new to me.
I am also unable to email a document from the Word 2007 home page. I have run a Word diagnostic and cannot seem to find any problems.
Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks!
Word 2007 help
I had the same problem when I switched from Word 2003 to 2007 and had problems with my invoicing due to the docx files. I contacted the person who created MP Count what I use for my invoices, and he said to to open up word and click on the icon in the top left hand corner and scroll down to save as, that will open up other options one being save as Word 97-2003 and from then on everything you save a document it will be saved under doc.file and not docx.file. Hope this helps. FYI I still do not like 2007!!!
I worked there from 2007-08 sm
They people were great. The platform really just utilizes word and copy and pasting demographics (which you get paid for) and then you upload back to the company. The pay is on the low side, but my accounts were pretty easy clinic work, so it evened out.
the posting is the exact same posting as you read on the
job seekers board. It is under state boards
Anything new on Probity? Last info was from 2007 (nm) TIA

Has Spheris improved any since 2007? I saw an add SM
and was thinking about applying. I worked for them before all the changes happened.
Thanks.
Line count in MS Word 2007
Does anybody know how to get their line count when typing a regular office note in Microsoft Word 2007? This software is so new to me. Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Applied at Transcend but they do not allow Word 2007
and Microsoft quit selling Word 2003 in June of this year, which means they will quit supporting it soon, too. I hate to pay $187.00 for an outdated piece of software for working. I have a new computer and specifically requested Windows XP but did not think about Office 2007 not being usable.
Been there since 10/2007. There are still slow issues. I do not think they are that flexible..sm
I've been MT for > 10 years. They are better than the evil Q, for whom I worked for 8 years, but I am sure there are better companies out there. The acct specs are no problem, but the platform definitely still is. I have cable Comcast, so slowness issues are not on my end. IT works with it, but not well; there are issues. They will not give me time off--less than a week--to accompany my sister when she picks up the baby she is adopting because I have been there less than a year...Email me if you have specific questions. I would say think carefully before accepting their offer. Make sure you tell the recruiter if you think you will need ANY time off in the next year or you may not get it. I did not think to mention last October that I would need time off this May. Mistake.
They were bought by Nuance in the spring of 2007.
And apparently they feel that stating that fact makes them sound more respectable, I guess. Nuance also owns Dictaphone and Escription.
Medware..There hasn't been anything on this board since August 2007...(sm)
Does anyone who works for Medware care to share their opinion about the company in regards to steady work, flexible schedules, platform, benefits, etc.? You can e-mail me if you wish. TIA.
I just filed 2007 taxes for gross income of $52,341.
NM
They offered me 9.5 cents a line in August of 2007
I don't think that is very low.
Is Dictaphone EXText compatible with Word 2007?
LOL, they still aren't compatible with Vista or Word 2007...

Use the Google box search for MTStars at page top. A few posts from 4/2007 come up.
.
They started looking in 2007. No promises. Now it is a reality and yes, they are paying half. sm
They always come through. Why do you tell lies on here? They are the best out there and those of us that are there and have been a while know that.
Cbay systems layed off 32 employees via conference call on 12/21/2007
Anyone here affected by this? I am so sick over this.

Yes, very similar. (sm)
I think they are interchangeable, meaning if you save a document in Word Perfect, you can open it up in Word (on the newer versions anyway). I used to prefer Word Perfect over Word, but now I like Word better. But, yes, they are very similar.
I just went through something similar
about a month ago when I left a big national to work for Keystrokes. I was apprehensive about it at first but now I wonder why I didn't do it sooner. Good luck!
something similar
I had something similar happen when a former employer did not pay the insurance bill for a month. It sounds like this is what happened to your company, although I would be concerned that they told you they would reimburse. Does that mean they don't have the money to pay the bill?! Something weird is going on, and I would ask a lot of questions.
I would never tell anyone to get a different job, but I personally think that everyone should have an updated resume at all times.
Let us know what happens, okay? Good luck - I hope it works out the way you want it.
OSI has similar
plan, which I read in the fine print of the employment papers. It said that I would only be paid minimum wage if the client did not pay. It was unclear as to whether back pay would be made once the client did pay or if I would never receive any more than minimum wage if the client NEVER paid. So, I turned down the position. I'm really surprised that I have never read about this little detail on these forums (regarding OSi of Georgia).
Actually it's very similar to
what's going on here. It's about dishonesty being punished so the rest of us have a fair shake. In other words, management not doing anything about a cherry-picker is as bad as saying It's ok honey. Go ahead and cherry-pick.
Similar situation here..
That gal has some serious issues. I agree with you to each his or her own. Maybe you have to have something in common with her...i don't know. Just glad i found an editor position elsewhere.
My experience similar - not my cup of tea! nm

Similar situation here
I think I was "hired" at the end of June. Every step of the hiring process took at least a week. I am now still in "training." There doesn't seem to be enough work for me to practice on. I expected to be FT by now. I finished by DQS training the 1st week in August; got a telephone survey yesterday from MQ about DQS training, which really blew my mind. So concerned about the adequacy of the training and yet there's no work. Frankly, I think DQS is a piece of cake and don't know what the big deal is.
If I had quit my old job when I was supposedly hired, I would be SOL right now. I'm tempted to look elsewhere but as a newbie, I don't think I'm going to get a better line rate anywhere else and the benefits seem to be good.
I am also looking for a similar position

I was in a similar situation with them
They weren't saying resign or be fired but it was getting to that point. I could see it coming. I quit when the threats started. Too much pressure. I am sorry you are going through this too.
Somewhat similar here, and I'm stumped
I accepted a position with a company as an IC. They sent me all the info on the hospital, etc., and said they'd call in a few days with my ID and for training. They called, I was at the grocery store (shame on me). I've been calling them back for over a week now, have read all the documentation and am ready to go - now they're not calling me back. What is up with this stuff? Why would they go through all this trouble and then just drop off the face of the earth?
And DQS and Precyse are very similar, but IMO DQS is
nm
Yes, they are very similar programs
I have both WordPerfect 10 and Word 2003 on my computer.
Yes. I had a similar situation SM
I had been trying to get it together to work for them for several weeks, months really. Lots of emails back and forth. They really wanted me, but I couldn't work it out for a long time. Finally we set a date to get set up --- no contact all day from them. The next day, she contacted me and we set up a definite time for yet the next afternoon --- but, again, I heard nothing from her that day. I decided at that time that we had dragged each other along for long enough and I would just email her and tell her no thanks after all, which I did. I really don't know if she is that busy or what, but an email would have been nicue (or getting some else in the office to call) when she wasn't going to come through for set-up. I just ended up being afraid they would not be dependable for me.
The lady you are emailing with is probably the owner, and I had talked to her on the phone several times - very nice. I also read on a post here that she had built the company all herself and that it was a good place to work. I just decided against it.
There are 2 companies with similar
SGS out of Texas pays: 9 cents a line including spaces, headers, & footers for transcription, and 4-1/4 for editing. I just completed my training with them, they seem VERY nice and professional. They do not do direct deposit, but are working on getting it, so that may be a different company the other poster is talking about as there are 2 with similar/same names when you Google it. All I needed was to buy a foot pedal and they downloaded their software onto my computer for me.
Is this similar to Ex Text
.
Had a similar experience with her
I wouldn't say she was mean, just brusque and kind of haughty when offering pay that was completely junk!!
Had a bad experience with another company's recruiter also. Never followed up with me over and over......then would make excuses on why she didn't get back to me, always sounded kind of hung-over.
Are these the best PR people they can come up with?
