I agree with the above poster. If you can't vent to people who are in the field about your good or bad experiences, then this is not a democracy. Personally, I do keep a lot of mine to myself basically because I don't like dealing with negative people who will judge me. It stems from not having a very supportive family and not being able to express myself growing up. What is heaven for one is hell for another but either way, people need to express themselves and get it out.
In this profit-driven healthcare industry, MTs are under appreciated and in many cases abused by management and perhaps isolated and ignored by other MTs. We definitely need a support system and these forums are supposed to serve as a support system out of the work place where we can vent and hopefully be comforted by kind words. We work in an industry that refuses to acknowledge the fact that if it were not for us, they would not have jobs. We are the industry but many of us do not feel we have much clout in the way we are treated, i.e. coldly, indifferently and there-are-more-where-you came from attitude. Lets start cooperating instead of competing especially in the forums and let people have their say and try to embrace with kindness. We all need a pat on the back.

Anyone have experience with this company out of Houston? TIA
Express Scribe
Does anybody know if earphones can be used with Express Scribe? I can't find any information about this anywhere. Thanks.
EXPRESS SCRIBE
had the same problem when I got my new computer. Easiest way is to take it from desktop, and you can drag it into escribe.
Do you have Express Scribe......

Transcription Express, Inc. ...
out of Arizona. Anyone have any information (good or bad) regarding this company? Thanks!!
Transcripition Express
I tested with them, very simple. That was going on two weeks now. For this one account I was checking on they paid 8 cents a line, no more. I used DocQScribe for testing and never heard back from them. I would have liked to heard back from them though regardless to see if I passed or failed. I was going to be typing ER reports. Good luck.

I second that nomination! I'd do it, but I do not express myself
eloquently enough and this issue is too important for it to be written in a way that might come across as abrasive or offputting, even though that would not be the intention.
I have Verizon Freedom too...may
I ask why it won't work for you any longer?
Anyone know anything about Freedom Type
I am getting gun shy with MT companies after 2 bad experiences and have just applied to Freedom Type. They sound very nice but so did the others. I am just trying to find out if anyone here knows of them and how they are to work for. Thanks.
Freedom Type
I love working for Freedom Type!! The owner is terrific and QA extremely competent. The work itself is fairly straightforward. I am glad to be part of this team!
Freedom Type
I have found these people VERY easy to work. I don't find QA demanding either. They pretty much just leave you alone to do the work. There's also a good support system. Lots of integrity with this company.
FREEDOM TYPE
Hello out there! Would anyone have any info on this company? Any info appreciated! They are running an ad on one of the other transcription sites.
TIA!
FREEDOM TYPE
Well thank you Very Much for your response!
Freedom Type - sm
Can anyone tell me how the work is done? Do you have a platform? Do you continuously type or do you have to save out each patient?
Thanks.
IC here too and love the freedom but
consultant that helps you know what to write off. There are so many write-offs that I don't see tax time as a killer.

Does anyone have any information regarding working for Freedom Type? Thank you very much.

Freedom Type
Does anyone work here or know anything about it? Archives are old. Please respond or email. They have no info on their website, only application. Thanks!
How is there freedom as an IC if you have a set schedule?
To me, the trade off of having no medical, dental, paid time off, etc., it that I get to work when I want. Just because I work went I want, doesn't mean I don't get the work done in a reasonable manner. I keep my TATs and I transcribe more lines each week than anyone else on my account, but I do it when I want. One day I may work in the morning and the next day I might work at night. It shouldn't matter when I work as long as the work is back to the client in TAT. Luckily, I work for MTSOs that understand I am an IC and I have gotten rate increases. Guess I am just lucky. :D
I don't see it as a matter of MTs complaining, I see it as companies trying to get away with an illegal action. JMO.
Freedom Type
I have worked for them for a long time now. As long as you do your work and do your minutes daily, there are no problems. I have never had any issues getting paid on time. I would suggest you give them a try and make your own opinion.
Freedom Type
Does anyone have any information on this company? I can't find anything current and was wondering if it is worthwhile to apply. Thanks.
FREEDOM OF SPEECH
It is called Freedom Of Speech, a RIGHT we have in AMERICA. And fact is fact, truth is truth. If you can back up statements, you are NOT liable. Speech is free. But to state lies as fact, then that is wrong. I don't see many of us MTs stating lies or making up stories about the abuses we endure. This is just another MTSO scare tactic to keep those in the know from spreading the truth which in turns affects the corporate livelihood and the continued use of slave-labor MT. The TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE, and the MT or MTs will prevail if not pushed/scared/threatened by the big money taking advantage of the SKILL of the MT who actually earns the wages they so despately wish to exploit. Stick to your guns, knock them on their rumps!
Why, it's freedom, Lara...
This is what freedom is all about. Here, women have freedom to flaunt their bodies to random men just because they want to, maybe because it makes them feel good about themselves because they have no self-esteem. Then, when men objectify them and use them for their bodies, they begin to complain because they are being objectified. Makes no sense at all....
Freedom type
Too much busy work for what they pay, lots of zipping files, sending and resending, logging your time and sending...I knew after a couple hours that it wasn't going to make me any $$$ to pay the bills, so I went with something else.
Has anyone used Express Scribe to take an on-test SM
test? I downloaded it, but I can't get the function keys to work. Any help would be appreciated. I am technically dumb! TIA
Those who applied at Transcription Express, sm
Has anyone heard anything back from Transcription Express? I applied on Sunday and have not heard anything and was just curious as to whether anyone else has heard anything. I have a lot of experience and thought I would at least receive the opportunity to test. I do realize, however, that with the number of views the ad has received, they are probably wading through tons of resumes. TIA
How to load Express Scribe
If you already haven't found out how to do it, save the files to a folder on your desktop, then go into Express Scribe, click on Load or load files (I don't have it on this computer, so am doing this from memory), then click Browse, then click on C drive, then click Desktop, click on the folder, then click on the files you want to load. In my experience, Express Scribe will only load a job if it has been saved in a folder. Hope this helps and good luck
Just feel the need to express my thoughts on VR, ASR, etc. ..sm
It is just tough to sit back and watch this evolve. I've been in this profession for many years now, and have watched voice recognition start to surface in some capacity years ago. It still is not where it needs to be, and I do not believe it will ever be as efficient as a skilled MT. Regardless, what really bothers me is that there are so many in this field being sucked in by these companies who are hiring for .03-.05 line of so called voice recognition editing when in reality you are basically typing the entire report over again, or taking just as much time as you would to type from scratch. The other scenario, in my opinion, these job offers being filled are simply to cover the incompetent work that comes in from overseas. Hire 100 Indian MTs and have a few good U.S. editors or voice recognition MTs who are willing to work for pennies, and what a profit you make as a company. I just wish more MTs would put their foot down and say enough. Let these large nationals lose their experienced MTs, and they will either fail as a company or up the pay scale for a qualified MT.

Does anyone have any information on this company?
Express Scribe does play that!(sm)
Not sure about Gear Player, but in open Express Scribe and go to settings, and then settings, and go to the tab files, and you should be able to check the box there. You can also go to the WMA file right click and select open with and then select your Express Scribe. Good luck on the test!

As much as I enjoy the freedom of working at - sm
home, I've come to detest the loss of so many other freedoms I'd taken for granted: Freedom to buy everything on your grocery list at Safeway, not just the few that fit in your budget. Freedom to FILL your gas tank, not just put in $5 and hope that gets you back home from Safeway. Freedom to take a vacation once in a while, and if you DO take a vacation, you actually get to GO somewhere, and don't just spend it in front of the TV set because you can't afford to leave the house. The freedom to put even a tiny amount of money into my savings account with each paycheck, instead of continually siphoning off what little is left in the bank to pay bills each month, would be nice.
When I worked in an office, I only had to work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, and I made 3 times what I'm making now, and I now work 12 hours a day, 6 days a week.
I was willing to trade a little bit of poverty and maybe have to work a few more hours per pay period in order to be free of supervisors breathing down my neck all the time, but honestly, I miss being able to do things on the weekends besides just work. That's gotten REALLY old.
Freedom Type - Anyone worked for them???
Does anyone know anything about this company? I am not sure what to think. Please help.
Anyone know anything about Freedom Type? Good? Bad? nm

Freedom Type --- any opinions sm
on this company? Good, bad, and ugly?
I tried downloading it into Express Scribe and it wouldnt go into that.
It's a mystery and they have never gotten back to me so I assume as I cannot play their sound file, I wont be considered for the job. I tried everything to get it to work.
isnt express scribe free? sm
i had to purchase my own bos and the software/pedal they told me to purchase was $129 (with their discount). they did provide the spellchecker, drug book, and Smartype though, so that was good. thanks for the fyi.
