also had a French Canadian
very difficult... now if I ever hear a doctor with a New Zealand accent I think I will recognize it - very distinctive - have heard it only in a few movies.
Spheris hires Canadian MTs and has Canadian accts. Can't answer the wage question. So much depe

Zero. If I don't have the dollars, I don't buy it.
House paid off. Drive old cars. Make hard choices sometimes, but would rather postpone or do without sometimes for the peace of mind of no debt. It's not easy, but I highly recommend it!!
TWO dollars?
Just say NO! That is the most ridiculous thing I have heard in weeks. Ortho fills up a lot of the page and I can't believe I am seeing this. Are you living in another country?
I think French just might be
my least favorite accent. Despite my French teacher bragging about what excellent speakers the French are, never saying um, just having fast flowing speech, when dictating in English, the ones I've done have had some serious stammering, poor enunciation, extra words, and many unexplained word choice changes, and it's all I can do not to scream and grind my teeth the moment I hear that accent.
I'd love to tell my snotty French teacher that, too.
French!

French for me too.

And you are willing to pay 100 dollars
to keep the ball rolling? I don't know... sounds fishy!
You must be French or something because it is
(singular)
▸ noun: the form of a word that is used to denote a singleton
▸ adjective: grammatical number category referring to a single item or unit
(plural)
▸ noun: the form of a word that is used to denote more than one
▸ adjective: grammatical number category referring to two or more items or units
pleural is a medical term, regarding the lungs....
French Ed. major
with English Ed minor and Music minor. No jobs around here in Northern Indiana, and extended family is here, so once started having kids, kind of just fell into this work. Love it, though, love using the Latin I had years ago.
Another poll: Regarding our tax dollars.
In view of the increased cost of gasoline, housing, medical care, now heating and electric, when it comes to the tax dollars coming from YOUR income, would you prefer it go to:
A.) Those on welfare due to bad choices, those on welfare because they refuse to work, those on welfare due to unwed pregnancy, or those receiving governmental aid due to just being elderly and unable to work, or due to catastrophic illnesses or events such as Katrina.
or
B.) Those elected officials to use for their wives' tummy tucks, their children's daycare, their expensively catered business meetings with other elected officials (including water at $500 a case), their tax-funded trips with their families as "staff", and their million-dollar tax-funded pensions.
Bob for French fries!!
LOL
I did spend the 400 dollars too
Well, what can I say I just purchased the "software" two days ago.
And in the country I live 400 dollars is two minimun wages.-
So, I basically spent my savings in a promise, but only because I read that Alan is a minister of some kind, I just assumed a Pastor wouldn't be on the internet scaming people...
and I even talked to Alan.
Yes, I tip. Usually a couple of dollars but
if I have a lot of groceries, will make it $3. But last year on Christmas Eve when I had LOTS of groceries and the store was packed and it was pouring down rain and the sacker got soaked loading my groceries in my car, I gave him $5.
Robotype 3. It's about 8 dollars. nm

Don't get it......what does French sounding name

Yeah, I would rather my tax dollars go to war. nm

It's probably 40,000 Rupees, not dollars.

dollars and cents
 I get 6 cents a line for my work, but I work at MQ and am not an IC. I have been with them for 1.5 years. I was wondering myself what they got paid because I was considering getting a part time-full time gig for a second job. Now a days you almost have to.
ME TOO! I got mine for 4 dollars sm
on ebay. I am also down to my last one!
Yes, every other week, 78 dollars, 2200 sq ft. SM
To me it's worth every penny!
"Faux" is French for false. - nm
.
The French sounding name in other words
it was not like I was a Jones or Smith, you know, simple sounding every day names and if you have worked as long as I have in this business, I have seen dictators get a chart mixed up with another, not that it happens often. That was the reason for my saying it - he could not have mistaken my dictation for a Ms. Smith or Ms. Jones....
French 1st Language dictators
My take is that you are both correct and mistaken. People with French as their mother tongue can be both challenging and reliable to transcribe in English. The challenging part is the omission of certain sounds that are normal to the English-attuned ear. The reliable part is that the differences one hears are usually SO predictable. I belive that with more info I can help you even with your specific problem.
Were you playing dimes, dollars, or what ?
Am going in the next couple of months, and how much had you spent in machines?
I think Spanish and French are the worst, (sm)
and I even took French. But they have an annoying way of dropping out all recordable sound and just doing something with their lips that a recorder can't pick up at the end of some words that is very annoying.
I have enjoyed British, but every newbie should be warned about their "stop" and "full stop" for punctuation, LOL.
Autocorrect turned french!
Out of no where my autocorrect is french! Anyone know how to turn this off??
That averages out to 21 to 25 dollars an hour
for radiology. I earn more than that per hour on acute care, but I don't work that many hours a week. How do you keep your arms healthy?
maybe she means 'pissoir', it's French, look it up!...nm

At 3cpl, that's only 90 dollars gross. Take out
Canadian ICs
HI Denise - I am a recent grad of an MT program in BC and just signed on as an IC for a Florida Company. I start in a couple of weeks. I've found that lots of US MTSOs will hire an IC from Canada. That is not really an issue as long as you are a grad of a respected course and do well on the testing. The hard part is getting your foot in the door without any experience!! I am not familiar with the CareerStep course. I've heard of it of course but have not researched it lately. I took the Advanced Medical Transcription Program through Selkirk College via distance ed. I can highly recommend this one and employers seem to be impressed with the grads. Let ME know if you would like further information.
PS - A new baby in November? Boy, you must be pretty energetic to consider taking on something like this at this time!!

pays Canadian, hassle with bank when you cash it after you get it 3 months later.
Canadian Tx
It doesn't bother me. It is hard to articulate why, in a logical way, so I have to just explain from my gut. I feel that they are our "kinfolk." In my mind, they are our neighbors, in a way that I feel closer to than other countries. Therefore, it's like more "sharing" of "our" workload, rather than "them" sort of "stealing" the work from "us." No "Us and Them" attitude with me, on the issue of Canadians. Yet, I feel that way strongly about India and Philippines and whoever else comes up the pike "stealing" our work. I realize this isn't logical, but hey, you asked. Does anyone else feel the way I feel?
To "I am canadian"
I'm sorry you're Canadian. I lived in northern Vermont for awhile and could only get Canadian TV. From that I learned how much you people hate us and envy us. But of course, you don't mind taking our money and taking our help when you need it.
Exactly how do you know what the people dying in Afghanistan are innocent?
Like of the rest of the world, you were too ready to dip in this country's deep pockets and you sued us when some of your Canadians were mistakenly killed by some U.S. pilots. With allies like you, we don't need enemies.
By the way, wasn't your lily white Canadian government involved in the British invasion of Las Malvinas, or as you would probably call it, The Falklands War? Do you think you Canadians killed any innocent people there?
Keep up your bellyaching - that's the only thing Canadians know how to do, other than drink beer and ice skate. Sooooooo, how aboot that, heh?
At Wal-Mart here, they start at 6.00 dollars an hour.

Hot dogs and homemade french fries.

I'd bet dollars to donuts it'll be a rip-off, no doubt. - nm

Spanish, French do celebrate Christmas in USA
Middle Eastern Arabic people do not celebrate Christmas nor the Jewish people (and Chanukah comes early 12/3 this year so they should be working. Russian Christmas is in January. The Hispanic community as well as the French communities here in the USA, as I know it, certainly do celebrate Christmas. Happy Holidays To All....
even our coffee, French Vanilla creamer,

if you made less than 600 dollars they don't legally have to claim it.
Just found that out also as last year my IC job only started in October and didn't make enough for taxes. This year will be different though. My employer said consider it free money. Can't argue with that. Checked with H&R Block and they confirmed it.
Canadian MTing?
Are there any Canadian MT's on this site? I am from canada and wondering where I go to find jobs in the US for Canadian's to work! What is a fair wage? Any help would be very much appreciated!
Why not try a Canadian company?
www.absmed.com (I don't think they are hiring, but you can check it out).
www.terranovatrans.com
www.healthenet.net
Hope that helps!
Canadian rates, please help
Could any of you help me in making this very important decision please? I have contacts that can help me get contracts from a small Physical therapy/chiropractic care clinic in Alberta, Canada. But, I have no clue as to how much is charged per 65 cpl with spaces in Canada. Considering that one US dollar is equivalent to Canadian $1.15, I guess I would perhaps be able to get a better rate. But how much would you say is a rate that would do justice to both parties? Anyone doing a similar work from Canada, working MTs with MT companies in Canada, please help. Any input will be welcome…Thank you….Maple
CANADIAN MT COMPANIES
I am from Ontario.
There are two companies in BC: www.absmed.com and
www.northpacificmedtrans.com
Check these out - I think they only hire local at home MTs.
Canadian spelling?

$1.29 to our dollar so if the Canadian MTs...sm
If Canadian MTs are making more $$ than American MTs, it all evens out. Also, the national health care system in Canada is currently under revision and my cousin tells me it takes her 6 months to get an appointment for an XRAY in Calgary!!!........
Canada's dollar is not as strong as our dollar in the US and I LOVE CANADA so please do not think I'm bashing that wonderful sister country of ours. 
canadian pharmacy
Hi, I've used feelbest.com (located in Ottawa, Ontario) numerous times and have had nothing but good results -- give them a try!
Re: Canadian Companies
I would work for either, I just find more and more American companies not taking Canadians. I get nailed with taxes either way. I used to work for Spheris and then took a year off and was told I would be on re-hire status and when I went to re-apply was told they no longer higher Canadians.
Canadian Needing Help
Hey everyone, I'm Canadian and am currently researching possible MT schools. I was originally thinking Canscribe, but am not so sure anymore (I read on another forum that they don't train students enough, and I want the best possibly training so that I am great at my future job). I know M-Tec and Andrews School are seemingly the top two schools in America, but I kind of wanting to attend a Canadian based school possibly. If anyone can help me out, I would really appreciate it. Also, if someone knows a Canadian based MT forum please let me know. I have been trying to find but it doesn't seem like there is any out there.
Thanks so much for your time!
:)
from canadian newspaper
I am sorry, I can't provide the link but it is a direct quote from a Canadian publication.
"Because the health care plan is regulated by the government, bureaucracy shows it's ugly head. Waiting lists are long and wait times for certain procedures are equally long. For instance, in New Brunswick, a person requiring heart a bypass procedure may wait for up to six months. A knee replacement in Ontario takes about the same. These waiting times are expected and those in need should prompt their doctors to be proactive in diagnosing the problems and gaining access to the waiting list at the earliest possible instance."
Okay, wanna wait six months for your CABG? You'd be dead. I do see that as a problem, don't you. I am sure there are Canadians who love it, just as I am certain there are those who don't. I would like to know where you got that 5% statistic from, though. I don't mean that as a smart aleck remark. I really would like to know if that is the case. Can you point me in a direction that would verify that?
I thought the French, Germans, and Russians were hairy.
Would that make them hirsutian?
