myself to that.

I have done enough ASR, etc. to tell you that there is no way that technology could survive on its own or any other technology that we have today as well.  The way these people dictate I guarantee you there will always be a need for MTs.  There arent enough doctors now to go around.  Do you really think they are going to sit there and type the reports or care how they look.  They are working twice as hard now for less money. 

So, an IC has the right to not take a voice file.  These contracts that state certain lines per week are for employees not ICs.  An IC has the right to pick and choose work just like any other profession. 

Also, painters do not sign contracts ahead of time.  You sign a receipt when the work is complete.  Another thing is when you find a painter that agrees to a timeframe and sticks to it, let me know.  They are contractors just like us where things come up and they cannot complete the work.  It is all part of being a contractor and being self-employed.

Thinking about testing for them.  I checked the archives and can't find anything.  This is all voice recognition work. I worked on editing voices files for the previous company I worked for.  I like doing this work, but didn't like the fact that it was less money.  I'm thinking I may be able to produce more to make up for the decrease in line rate.  Any thoughts on this company?

I keep seeing people post about this horrific company and I thought I would share my experience with them:

1.  I still haven't received payment for work that I completed in November!! The owner (initials J.L.) keeps giving me different excuses of why she hasn't paid me. The one check I did receive from them was a month late.

2.  After one of my many emails about the money owed to me and how much exactly is past due, she sent me an email saying the amount wasn't right and that we had agreed on a lower rate for one of the clients!! Absolutely NOT true!! So, after I completed this work, she apparently decided that I would be paid 0.045 and not the 0.06/line as promised (VR editing acct.).

3.  I actually ended up quitting because J.L. went off on a rant saying that I had made an unacceptable mistake in one of the reports. Later, after I proved that I was right, she apologized and said that she had a temper because of a three day migraine.

Now, I only worked for this company for two months (thank goodness it wasn't longer). If you're okay with being treated like this and not getting paid for work that you complete and her changing your rate, then go for it, but I would highly advise against it!! For those of you below that stated you had not been contacted after testing, just thank your lucky stars that you aren't working for her and hopefully you'll take my advice and never work for her.

I can't help with that as when I fix the voice through Express Scribe it stays that way.

Does anyone out there use Voice Solutions by Central Voice, especially in conjunction with Meditech?  Just curious what all you had to have on your comp. to set up.

Take my advice and avoid voice recognition if you can.  Half the pay for the same job!

How many more times do you need to hear it?  I remember one Christmas one of the experienced general pediatric clinic MTs had to work on acute care, as there were no clinic notes to be done.  She spent 1/2 hour searching to verify a tray keostomy:, before coming to ask.  Hmmmmm.  She hadn't heard much about tracheostomies in the ped clinic.  Not her fault, just something she hadn't experienced before.

YOU need to get over YOURSELF . . . give those with the experience and knowledge their due.    Some MTs don't want to learn acute care and that's fine.  I don't want to do clinic notes, I get bored easily and like longer reports.  Everyone has their preferences.  It may be easy for some to do acute care after doing clinic notes, but not for most.

Hi: 

I noticed your comment about Transcend and the Voice Recognition program.  Well I worked there about 4 or 5 months and never could get the hang of it.  I do not mean to be discouraging, but I really did not like their program.  If your line count does not improve, I would look somewhere else.  I know they have wonderful company and some of the greatest people ever, but they are not paying your bills either.  Look out for yourself in the long-run.    Hope this helps. 

Just curious how the transition over to speech was going for other MDI employees. 

Do a search of these boards.   Nothing good ever said about them.  Bad company to work for.  The owners berate you, paychecks bounce, can't keep anybody.  Bad people to work for.  I would highly recommend you look somewhere else.
