Busy MT'ing never answered the question of how many hours she works in a week.
It's not that we don't believe, necessarily.  We'd just like to know HOW.  I'm sure most, if not all, of us think of ourselves as somewhat intelligent, fast typists, educated, experienced, motivated, and capable.  Those are pretty much givens.  However, there's got to be a secret that we don't know.  Is it the work type, platform, keyboard, expander, account type, national or local, big or small MTSO, clinic or acute?  If we have the same tools available to us, why is there such a disparity among earnings?

KVMs $20-60. One internet connection. You'd have no email or a 2nd email acct for your 2nd puter.

I don't understand. I didn't get email from MT Stars, I got email from offshore people
is what I'm talking about. I'm not a liar and take offense to your insinuation.
Typically this week is a slow week in lots of places

because it is a big vacation week.  Typically things slow dow a bit in the summer too because people are putting off elective surgery, but at the same time lots of people going on vacation so it should balance out.   


 


 


Lowest runs $900 week, highest $1400 week (sm)
Get paid 12 CPL. Been doing transcription for about 12 years.
They can send an email that goes to all MTs in one shot. I think she just means a courtesy email
would be nice. MQ is not getting any easier. My account has been picked over thoroughly when it went on DQS by ASR and I get all the remains because they only have a core group doing ASR which I think is wrong because you get all the bad dictators and it would be nice to be acknowledged that at least you know the person you can discuss problems with as they crop up. This is a big one and we have no manager anymore and no one to discuss this with at all in my office so you just sit here very day doing this work and no way to vent to someone that could offer some suggestions on this and other issues that come up to help relieve some of the stress of working this way.
Just send an email to the email link inside the post.

Again, because you entered your email address, you CAN receive email from anyone, but THEY

e-mail address because it is not revealed when they send mail because we have spam protection in place.  The only way they would know what your email address is, is if you reply to the email they send you.  If you don't want to receive any email from anyone, simply do not enter your email address in the Email field.

I intended to email it- already email the mods to remove

Not through the MTStars email server. Your email address is NOT
visible to anyone.  The only way your employer would know it is you is 1) if you respond when someone emails you, or 2) they recognize the way you write. 
I work 6 days a week every other week

Due to my company's payroll (it runs Sun-Sat), I'm able to work a rotating schedule with every other weekend off. Week 1 I work Sunday through Thursday with Fri, Sat, Sun off.  Week 2 I work Monday through Friday with Saturday only off.  Then I'm back to week 1 and get that following weekend off.


I've found that I'm more productive with shorter shifts and I have kids in school anyway, so I work a lot of split shifts during the week.  If possible, you might want to consider cutting back your hours to 30 hours and just work five 6-hour days in split shifts, 3 in the morning and 3 in the evening. 


tried to email, invalid poster or email it said nm

San Antonio; email me; I can give you email for MT sm

who is in San Antonio and may be able to help you.


I'm in Corpus.


Thank you all who have answered! That's what I like...

about coming here, the diversity of answers.  You ladies (and maybe guys) have been a great help!  Thank you. 


thanks to those of you who answered
think I'll give the 5htp a try - i'm in a stressful situation and I think my depression is situational,thanks again. 
I'm sorry nobody answered you. I am sorry
for your dad, too. I have no personal experience with those exact meds; however, I am very allergic and/or intolerant to many meds, and Zantac actually does that to me - makes me an emotional mess. I am on other meds that give me GI upset, and I have to take Zantac for a few days until either my GI system calms down, or my emotions are shot. It makes me very labile. For elderly people and those with allergies or intolerances, that can be a very common side effect - also, as I'm sure you know, elderly people are hyper-sensitive to many meds and/or have bizarre reactions - not the usual warnings on label. I hope things work out - he'd probably rather have GI distress than be agitated or upset. Good luck.
I answered their ad and
So I got my own job. I have many years of experience. I went through 2 other jobs before with larger companies, then I found this one with a small company and I just love where I am at now. I did not use them at all. I don't know why they would put themselves out there and then not bother to reply.
Many thanks to all who answered!

Answered below and yes
NM
you just answered your own sm
question! you have only been doing this for a few months! Are you doing acute care or doctors office stuff that you already had been doing. There is no way with only a few months experience you can go home and work on acute care for a MT company and expect to make any money.

Same thing I have been talking about in this field forever. Too many folks want to get very little experience and then leave and "work at home" not realizing they have to have some experience.

You need to go and get some in-house experience.
thanks to all who answered
you are the best...and no sarcasm!
Curious -- Who are you asking? Someone else answered..? lol nm
..
Thanks to all who answered! I will try your suggestions. nm

Answered you down at your other post

See down under your other post.  E-mail me and I will try and help but I don't thinkyou will need some equipment, etc. to start.  Gotta go do deliveries. 


You answered your own question...
Enjoy it. You will regret it if you don't!
thank you. someone answered this on the mq board
thx though

.
Do a search here. This ? gets answered almost every day.

We answered this the other day - The average is 3:1
1 hour of dictation will take 3 hours to "type" transcribe.
Dont know if JAM answered but....

I copied this from his/her email. 


Position the curser where you want to start, (beginning of sentence)
press F8, hit the period key. It will then highlight to the period and
you can delete.  This will work with commas also.  If you get stuck in
the mode or change your mind, just hit esc.  Just remember to hit F8,
then hit whatever key you want to highlight to, then delete.

Again some companies do differ in amounts by the last month paid as you can invoice out for December in January and they sometimes accure that amount so they can deduct it in that year.  I have still claimed it in the year that I received it and did this for many years and never had a problem.  So as long as there is not a huge 10 to 15K difference I think that the IRS knows this.  Again 1099's can be corrected and sent in if there is a discrepancy in the amount.  Feel safe as long as you have the records to indicate what you received in the year. 
I have answered your question above. (nm)
nm
Your question was answered and not at all with
any sarcasm from what I read.

It seems that the poster just answered in as few words as possible.

I understood he/she to mean without experience, the company would hire from within.

Very simple.

How did you get that they were assuming you had no experience? seems that you are the one assuming eh?!




Thanks to you all who answered. One more question.......
How do you know which C-phone will be compatible with everything?
They answered. Said he was from Pakistan and that all MTs
x
You answered your own question!
They can't spell!
LOL! Thank you and everyone who answered without complaing (nm)

My question is not answered though
Are these records done by MTs or is this the punch a screen and put on the information.
I also want to thank DeeAnn who answered
my question so kindly and the person who posted with BINGO-LOL is confused and needs help.

Stop trying to be Sherlock Holmes, it is pathetic!
sa, thank you so much, this answered all my questions...nm
nm
You answered somebody's inquiry

a few weeks ago about my company and it sounded as though you were a current employee. 


Hey, it's okay to vent.  I know it must be frustrating. 


I'm glad I have not had to buy a BOS 3.  That would make me mad.  They are waaaay too expensive. 


This is answered on the Word board. SM
Just go to that board and scroll down, or do a Find (in the Edit menu if you have IE).
No one was being rude. They just answered her question.
She IS a newbie and thought she was being trained wrong when, in fact, she is probably being trained right. She doesn't know the rules of transcription.
Well, that pretty much answered my question!

You keep using your high school diploma and playing "I win" games back and forth on the computer. I have a feeling that's all you have anyway, which, my dear, is not much.
