A lot of legal transcription and legal jobs in
 xx
Legal transcription
Has anybody transcribed legal notes? If so, did you find easier or about the same as medical? Just curious.
Legal Transcription
It depends what type of law is involved. Patent/tax is dull and boring. I worked for years as a legal Transcriptionist for an auto company in product litigation. This was not boring. As far as difficulty, medical transcription has much more to learn.
Has anyone ever done legal transcription? sm
Just wondering what it is like, how you get into it. Thanks for any info! Have a great day.
Legal Transcription
Yes, I have done legal transcription before I became an MT. I absolutely loved it! It wasn't just depositions (which weren't that bad to me), but letters, all court documents, everything involved in a legal office. I had no problems with it. This was about 10 years ago. It was a temporary position, and I was later offered a permanent position with them which I would have taken in a heartbeat had I not been pregnant for my now-9-year-old son and in the process of moving. Actually, at the time I worked there, it was considered a legal "word processor" but most of the work was transcription from tapes. It was great!
Legal Transcription
Hi,
How would a person go about getting into legal transcription from medical transcription? Would you have to go to school for it or is there an easier way? 
Thanks in advance.
Legal transcription
Excellent idea. I think I'll consider it as well! Insightful perspective, especially if MTs have to carry some sort of Errors/Omissions insurance as was talked about in AAMT.
Legal transcription?
Talked to my friend. There are books for it too. Not as hard as medical transcription!
I too want to get into legal transcription
Could you email me the service you work for? Or direct me in the right way of finding one. I think I would be more productive in legal/general transcription as that is where I got started.

I am so burned out on this MT stuff, with all the work going elsewhere, etc. I also have an associates degree in legal but that was MANY years ago. Any idea about some online class to take for refresher course, etc. Is there any more work in the legal field than medical?
I do not live anywhere near a community college to take classes so that is really not an option. Anyone hear anything about being a scopist? I did take a couple semesters for that some time ago, but maybe it has changed since then.
Thanks for any information.

I did legal transcription for about 10 years. The
divorce or something like that). I just finished CareerStep's course in February, and I already have a job. I do recommend taking some kind of medica transcription course. While you may have developed your "ear" for transcription in general, there's a LOT you need to learn about medical language and procedures.
Good luck to you!
Online WAH legal transcription!
Check it out!
Legal Transcription Work
There is definitely legal work out there. I do legal transcription as well as general transcription. There are quite a few legal companies out there. The thing I like about them is the TAT is usually very long. The company I worked for had a 14 day TAT.
I did legal transcription for 10 years befor MT. sm
I like them both. Depends on what part of legal you do. For example, I hated doing probate work. Booring! Loved civil, criminal and domestic stuff though.
But court reports sound really great. That's something I could really enjoy. Good luck.
Per page rate for legal transcription
I don't do legal, but do general transcription for a local college and charge $5.00 per page using Verdana 9 font or Times New Roman 10 font (they like it small). I do over 200 pages a month, so it works for me.
Per page rate for legal transcription - what should I charge?
I have only done medical transcription and we charge by the line, not by the page. I have been approached about legal transcription work for template documents such as wills, estate planning, etc. I have been asked what I charge per page...I live in the Northeast/Connecticut area. Can anyone advise me what the current rate per page would be?
I did legal transcription using the old vinyl belts. A LONG time ago. LOL

Not just here, but on other forums
people have nothing better to do that trash others.
FORUMS!!
Tired! Yes, I spent "forever" over there. Those are truly special and I found myself "lost in the forum world" and before I knew it over an hour had gone by! Now, the trick is to save up some quality time to learn what I want it to do for me, what I already know and how it applies to that program, and then learn what I need to know and USE IT! Do you use it with IT? I think I want to go over to those forums again right now and I need to stop myself because it is 11:15 and I have to get up early! I don't know, but I may stay up all night if I dare go there! I saw where someone on the forum wanted to import their glossaries and other lists and had trouble, but do you know if you can save your glossaries as text files and import them that way like in RN? I really miss DOS too, and find that finding paths in Windows is not too straightforward in every case, but still am looking forward to finally letting go of my "obsession" with PRD and DOS. I guess I am old, but still it worked so well and it wasn't "broken" so why did they change everything to Windows stuff? Could you hear the whine in that? Sorry! I need to shut up now and either go to bed and get sleep or go over to that forum and learn stuff! Thanks again for making my entire year with that advice!
Yes, distractions such as forums are
real time/line-stealers. I'm not working today and have some online research to do so I'm here today more than usual.
Good luck!
Did you look under forums on this site?
There is a new site for Billers/Coders.
Where are the nursing forums?
I cant find them :(
We have two recipe forums.

Not other forums and chat sites for MTs. (NM)

getting forums on pers computer??
I can't seem to figure out how come i can't get the full list of forums (left column) as i have on my job computer, put onto my personal computer...i used the exact same address in the address bar ...any help would sure be appreciated!
The nastiness had some attention on other forums, and seems to (SM)
have toned down. Good Luck! Small steps add up to big things. And, "Well-behaved women rarely make history."
This issue has gotten out of hand. See the available forums to
the left and if your question or comment fits in any of those categories, please post there. Perhaps you do not understand how the back end of discussion forums operate, but simply put, when one forum is jammed with posts it bears heavy on the server. This is why we have a variety of boards to choose from.
Thread locked.
Any word on why we have no forums at the left yet? nm

I have seen the forums in the left colum all along.
It is a javascript. Do you have javascript enabled?
I just think boards/forums are a place to hit
Did you try going to the general escription forums?
Is it Willie that moderates it? Anyhoo, someone in there asked about getting a USB adapter a while back. Maybe one of the techs can help you. I would LOVE to be able to use my laptop with a pedal.
Trouble with links on these forums anybody?n/m

It is hecka good. All over the geek help forums
I've got it on trial right now myself, and it has cleaned up some stuff for me that AVG, SpyBot, and Ad-Aware passed right over.
First free trial of something on-line I've had that I think I really am truly inspired to buy after all (whenever I can afford it).
I've used it. There are a ton of knowledge base forums out there
where you can research your results.
Do a Google search for comments on other forums. Don't think they

There are several forums to post on at the Religion link.
I wouldn't call it "fragmented". The poster can ask his/her question on more than one religion board and receive a variety of responses in which to make an informed decision.
Here are 2 good links for Lap Band forums. sm
www.obesityhelp.com
www.wlsforum.org
And they can by either posting on the Religion forums or contacting the Administrator.

All ForuMatrix forums are owned by the same company. The songs that were
posted on the Holiday/Recipe forum were posted erroneously and have been removed.
As per your request, Pets and Entertainment forums have been added.
Admin -breaking news says see new nursing forums - how do I get there? nm

Someone please tell me what I need to change in NAV to get the left sided links back for the forums
I found over the w/e if I disable my Norton Internet Security and go to Tools, Internet Options, Delete Files and click on Delete All Off Line Content, and choose ok, I can get the links back on the left (in the blue area) but they won't stay. I assume I need to change something in Norton's Internet Security, but what?? Does anyone know? I have tried lots of things and can't seem to find what it is that will make this a permanent change as it won't stay this way.
Please help. TIA.
Agree, verbatim transcription equals poor quality transcription.

Know AIM transcription system, never heard of Hull transcription. Are you sure
you are not thinking about DHull who is a recruiter for MDI-FL? They use the AIM system.
Legal or what? IC help.
OK, I need some IC help please? I just quit my IC position and was told after the fact that I would NOT be paid for my last 30 days of working because I did not give proper notice per contract. Well to make a long story short I didn't sign a contract. So what would you seasoned ICs do?
This is not legal
Sorry but this is not legal and if you get caught it can be insurance fraud with big consequences. Legally and morally you should not be on his insurance coverage, if you chose to stay on it, live with yourself and the fear of "getting caught". This is where our morals are going down the tube in this country. Lie and cheat to get what we want and something for nothing.
Med-Legal
if anyone does work for CMLS doing med-legal docs? If so, any feedback, good, bad, or indifferent would be appreciated. Thanks!
What I was doing is legal. sm
I was using a trial version to see if I liked it. I paid to have the complete 2003 version put on my new computer. I would not use a bootleg version software for work. That was my point. However, I hate to pay that much to put it on my son's computer just so he can take a single high school class. I may have to work it so he can use my computer to send his work in, because he needs Word format.
Regardless of whether it's legal or not, I think
At a time when hundreds of thousands of American jobs have been lost, with surely more to come this year, sending ANY job overseas that could be done by a better-qualified American is wrong.
Of course, they're not going to outlaw offshoring. But it needs to stop being such a cash cow for American businesses. Many of them know what they're doing is wrong, but do it anyway in order to make more money for themselves. Or they do it because they don't have the backbone to stand up to medical institution management who cuts MT expenditures because they basically know little to nothing about MT. To them it's just something they can easily cut without any guilt, because they don't have to face those workers every day in person.
The government needs it pointed out to them that there are at least 2 major benefits to taxing the offshoring of American work: (1) More money paid in taxes by big business, who can afford it. (2) Fewer Americans out of work, and once again paying taxes and contributing to the economy again, instead of having to RECEIVE money from the government in order to survive.
