interested in training for this. It is quite expensive, but yet seemed legitimate. At the time I was already overwhelmed with my own work and accounts and just never got into it. Basically scoping is just learning how to read a stenographer's notes and then you would "transcribe" them. My understanding is that stenographers differ from each other with the way they take "notes" so you would have to adjust to each stenographer.
But some stenographers/court reporters will dictate their notes onto a tape and send them to someone to transcribe.

Truckdriver woman? LOL

You must have seen the ad that has the woman with the child on her lap - sm
That's a joke. All the pictures show the moms with the kids on their laps transcribing away. DOES THIS SEEM REALISTIC TO YOU?? But yet, people fall for it! I have been doing this for 15 years and make $62,000, but I PAID MY DUES AND WORKED MY BUTT OFF to get there. I worked in a hospital with others around me to help me out, when I was confident I left and worked at home, now I'm doing my own thing.
This is hogwash. This woman
took the time to give a thorough interview. She worked with me when I needed help on their website and made herself available by phone as late as midnight when I had a problem with something on the website. Not many recruiters will take the time as this woman has done and I applaud her for that. I also know that she bent over backwards for me answering all my questions. I was referred to her by another applicant who received the same treatment from her that I did. These types of things are the very reason why I do not listen to most of what is said on these boards. I find out for myself but I know the type of treatment I received as well as a fellow MT.
A woman who went crazy
Keep in mind that I am old. Back many decades ago, in the early 70s, I worked in a large teaching hospital and we had just gotten those self-correcting Selective typewriters which at the time were all the rage. One of our MTs, a woman who had never been too stable a person, had had enough of a terrible dictator one day and she stood up, picked up her typewriter (they were heavy!) and threw it against the wall, thereby earning herself a free trip to the psychiatric ward upstairs. That happened 40 or so years ago and I have never forgotten it. On its face it sounds funny, but it was really sad. I wonder whatever happened to her......
So who is? That Parrot woman?
No, it's not the Parrot Woman... SM
If you work at Acusis, the CEO sent you a Christmas card... But if I mention his name, I'll be banned from MTStars (again).
The Parrot Person is VP in charge of... what? wage cuts?
A GROWN woman?
Don't make me laugh! You attacked the OP with tons of gender-based insults about a person YOU know nothing about - only that that person would prefer a schedule that did not REQUIRE every weekend.
You ARE NOT grown, whether you are a woman or a man.
Geez. Pay the woman if she worked for you. nm

You mean the woman who took her time to walk me
through a problem at midnight one night? She spent her time helping me at their website and she did not have to do that. You call that hateful?
You people are too much.
I know who "this woman" is, but who is her lackey? sm
I thought she did it all. Thanks.
Just guessing but it might be the woman who owns KS??
nm
But people here are posting this woman's name!

You did 100s of reports in a day? What are you, wonder woman? nm
LMBO.
He-Man Woman Hater's Club?
ah, old joke.
You-Lose-Ski, Parrot Woman, etc
Mr. You-Lose-Ski is no longer CEO but he is still heavily involved financially in the company. The new CEO rhymes with Slave Driver minus a few letters and is good buddies with You-Lose-Ski and they used to work together - You-Lose-Ski said that in the meeting where he announced he was leaving. Day to day stuff such as pay cuts is handled by Parrot Woman and her counterpart in India whose first name rhymes with Maybe.
To the woman who asked me about Keystrokes... sm
Your email addy didn't work. I keep getting an error message when I try to reply. I can't locate the original post the question was generated from. If you'd like to try and email me again that'd be great.
Neither honey. Just a grown woman
who does her job and doesn't act like a child who doesn't get her way. Hmm, maybe that's why I can get my lines in during a regular 40 hour week and don't have to whine and complain about every single thing that doesn't suit me. This board has become the poor me, feel sorry for me, I hate my company but I have no guts to go somewhere else or learn something new board.
yes, a woman is perceived (esp. by men) how she presents herself...nm

not a major company - woman owned
around 100 employees but not positive
Sounds like the woman I used to work for. She is not located in -sm
NJ by chance. If so, things will not improve. Start looking for another job ASAP. I know it sucks for you right now but I found another job and I am making more $$ and I have a lot less stress. I too, hated the thought of going through finding another job, liked the accounts I typed and so forth. Good luck to you. I hope you ended up better off down the road.
Sounds like a woman i worked for in Colorado..nm

my first year I made 16k. Doubled that second year. Going on year 6 with (sm)
two local accounts I earned 23,000.00 and a national I earned 35,400... 58,400 this year. Don't ask me how many hours, though, I really have no idea. I'm pretty motivated. (When people ask me how many hours I work a week I reply as many as it takes I'd say 40-50/week. I am also a fitness instructer and personal trainer, about 5 hours a week or so. Decent money (sometimes under the table!) but mostly I just do it for fun and to be social and wear cute work-out clothes.
that first year was a rough one... but I consider it part of my education.
I'm pretty motivated.
Truckdriver woman? I worked with her before, she was a great boss to me.

The woman who manages the C-Bay office in Annapolis is a former employee of MQ. nm

You silly, closed-minded, judgmental woman...
I am part of the MDI/Transcend merger, so if I choose to laugh at the irony of the entire MESS we are ALL involved with, I will.
Who made YOU the LOL police, or did you self-appoint yourself to that all-important position?
Get a grip. You're not the only one stuck in this crisis so climb off of that cross you're dangling from and save a tree, mmmkay???
I'm sure I'll love having YOU as a new co-worker *eye roll*
I just adore Harrie. She is the nicest, most patient woman. Her site is the

The woman who outsourced us is benefitting, I am sure. She got a promotion and no doubt a raise.
All for sending us down the river so she wouldn't have to be bothered.
Good luck to you MT-- you are surely a sad woman and I will pray for you dear s/m
If you really think about it, you are not allowed to use contractions in MT so my aprostrophes are not needed. There is no QA patrol on here so your little nitpicking about aprostrophes just goes to show that you have some sort of mental disorder and you really need help.
GOD BLESS YOU DEAR! And I mean that from the bottom of my heart. Get some help before you do harm to yourself or someone, please.
I am apparently being stiffed by a woman in Virginia for vacation coverage work I did. sm
I am not sure where I go from from here. She told me that she would pay me for invoices from 06/26 and 07/11 on 07/22 (yesterday). When I emailed her and asked her to verify that she had indeed paid me, she read the email (you can check on AOL) and did not respond. It is only $338, but in my world right now, that is a lot of money to lose. I blame myself because I broke one of my rules by working for someone who did not have direct deposit, and also by waiting for over a month to get my first check. She did pay that one, but I am thinking now it was only because she still needed me to continue working to finish out her vacation coverage.
I suppose I can file a small claims suit, although I thought someone told me that you have to go to that state to file. She's in Virginia and I am in Colorado. I have a friend in that area, so perhaps he could do the preliminary leg work for me for that. I was also going to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. I thought of contacting her clients to let them know that although she is paid for her services, she does not pay others, but I am not sure if that is legal or not.
I am a bit frustrated -- mad at myself for trusting her -- and scared too because I was counting on the money. Any ideas?
Thanks.
Have they contacted you?
I sent a resume late last week but haven't heard anything.
Have already contacted her and IRS
As there was never ANY pay at all, but recieved 1099 showing there was.
They contacted me too, but sm
They all ended up with companies that are where Diskriter was 3 years ago, going through a complete management revamp and all only offered IC status at a lower rate than I am making employee status with DR, all of them required the same scheduling, although I think Diskriter is pretty darned flexible, never been told no or had a problem if I needed to switch days, leave early, etc. All of these past employees who were at DR are now at other companies. One of them got DR into the huge mess they were in to begin with . They have all said they'll hire me any day, no interview, no questions asked, but what they have offered preliminarily without my application was worse than where I'm at for line rates now. If you search the archives on the companies their with now, the responses from MTs there will say nothing better or worse than you see with DR, it is all a matter of OPINION again and to each his own.
If you are an MT looking into DR, go with your gut, if you feel like they might be right for you -forget the pre-employment requirements and background checks as an excuse to not apply, that is a pretty silly reason not to apply or accept a job, only desperate companies hire just by looking at a resume and not doing any background or physicals. DR is not a desperate company - we are all very qualified MTs who pick up the slack when needed until we get new people that are just as qualified.
They contacted me
within about a week, but I applied at the end of July after the **** hit the fan at the Q, probably before a lot of other MTs. They were just starting some new accounts and the timing was perfect. I know they were swamped with apps in August, but if you have not heard anything after a week, I would contact them.
They have contacted me.....
They have contacted me and I was already hired by them a few months ago. They are asking me to retest with them. Not so sure if I want to go through everything again. It may not be worth the time since I did not have a good experience the first time. They want to get me on the payroll and start training me tomorrow.
They contacted you first and then did this?
I guess they have plenty of time and money to waste. Makes you wonder if they had someone there with an axe to grind against you. It's possible that person saw your name and decided to use a loophole to not hire you, but its still a rotten thing to do anytime, much less during the holiday season.
Good luck and hopefully other companies will treat you fairly.
I contacted them..
I contacted K&R to ask them to verify the security officer's name. I haven't heard anything. The other very weird thing is that their website does NOT have their address unless I missed it. I had to Google the company and get the address that way.
It's just a weird set up. I think I may back out as well.
Have they contacted you? sm
I've heard not one word from them or anyone else I've applied too. I'm getting so sick of it.  Even a get lost email would be better than nothing! Ugh...
I contacted them, but the pay was way too low.

THEY HIRED ME AND NEVER CONTACTED
I have been waiting and waiting and they have my contract and all the paperwork and they are nowhere to be found. Anyone else have this experience?
I think it was 2 days before they contacted me. I
turned it down before they offshore.
I was contacted the day after I submitted...sm
my resume by one recruiter with a couple of questions about my experience with ESLs and operative reports, then received another e-mail from a different recruiter the following day to schedule the formal interview.
Sounds to me like she HAS contacted the-sm
ones that they have chosen for the positions, and that she was just letting the others know that the choice has been made, probably so there will not be any more discussion of her not responding quickly enough, on this board. jmo
Thanks, she contacted me and guess what...
She is going on a short cruise and will get back to me when she returns about the position. I think not.
Yes, I contacted HR, this is not an issue
with my paperwork. It is that they have not sent my contributions to MetLife - not one cent all year, and I am having 10% withheld. That is a lot of money the company has been using. Almost seems like stealing, doesn't it?
Florida - I'm being contacted by them
via email and not even sure how they found me. I've never applied to them. I'm currently an IC but now I'm curious about them.
Same here. I emailed them once, but they never contacted me. nm

Has anyone been contacted back sm
by Lee Pefect after passing test since recent ad?
Thanks so much!
I contacted them with 20 and got no reply.
 They probably hired all newbies at that rate. I wouldn't worry too much about it. What sounds too good to be true usually is, but I was curious as well.
I contacted everybody and was totally ignored!
That tells you how much our so-called govenrment of the people, for the people is working nowadays. Lately, the slogan is Of the rich, for the rich, and to heck with the middle class....take their money and run before they get wise.
They don't give %$%#@% about us. All they care about is how much money they're getting from big business and the rich.
