"Is it worth it"
Definitely. I did 27,500 lines the past two weeks. I wouldnt trade this for any job outside my house. I have two people that work part time for me and make $300-400/wk.

Punctuation "is not important"?!!
Consider these sentences:

The patient said her mother is insane.

The patient, said her mother, is insane.

Two commas that completely reverse the meaning of the sentence. We are not merely "word-slammers". We are expected to convey the meaning of the spoken word, and that is the role of punctuation. Punctuation substitutes for the pauses, etc. that are used in spoken speech to convey how the words are to be interpreted.

I'm no fan of the BOS by any means, but I can't agree with the extreme statements you make here, either.

You don't have to be an "English major" to know the fundamentals of proper punctuation, either. You should have learned that in grade school. And if they ever do scrap the BOS, you can be sure no one is going to scrap the basic rules of English grammar that you're expected to know and apply.

I am so tired of removing "is" or "his" from ASR

Impression

1. Is depression.

2. Is anxiety.

UGH!!!!

Sorry, that should be "If someone". nm

"If You Read My Mind"
as sung by Maureen McGovern.

But think about it. What does "if it didn't work out" mean? SM
That she screwed up so many reports while trying to take care of little kids?

There's more to this scenario than just the MT and what she wants. Patient care is involved. I repeat...would YOU want your medical reports transcribed by someone who was so distracted?

Not true. "If the company makes money"???
That's funny.

Bonuses are usually based upon production. If you reach a certain production, you receive a bonus.

Whatever criteria is set, one must meet - I agree.

However, if an MT meets that criteria, and the bonus is to be paid on a certain date, they are delinquent in pay if the company does not pay on that date. The company set the time...not the MT.

I'd still seek a legal remedy.

I mean "If you don't pay in timely fashion, I will bill directly".To have to beg for you pa
unprofessional.

Or as the immortal George Carlin said, "If you can't beat them...
arrange for them to be beaten."
