Why have all the posts been deleted that said they
didn't see anything wrong with this?
Were there some posts deleted here?
It's real confusing ... however, my 2 cents? There's no possible way you could reach 100K a year at 8 cpl. Anyone who says they do is fibbing, IMO, or else they never sleep or eat and just transcribe all hours of the day.
At 8 cpl, assuming we're talking the standard 65-char. line, I think you'd be doing quite well to reach $30K a year. JMO.
Why did so many posts from yesterday get deleted?
I have deleted the posts about errors. (SM)
We do not need grammar, punctuation, or spelling police on this board.

Posts deleted - Stop with the name-calling. (SM)
You don't have to agree but stop with name calling and disrespectful posts. Stop naming names.

I think you got your wish - message from Goldbird- posts deleted
and I think that the only thing that is not allowed is offshore companies soliciting on the boards, I am pretty sure that there are offshore transcriptionists on here. They can certainly lurk, but I think there is some posting, too.
Posts deleted and troll banned.

Thanks for your help.
My bad...I guess thread was deleted.
must have missed your posts...
dont know what you are talking about but
GOSH
IS IT NICE to hear some good news from someone that something is working out for them!! Wow!  
You will not get any straight answers here. All my posts from yesterday were deleted. Some Dr. Ahm
from Pakistan supposedly owns or owned this company now. Go to MTStars.net to see what is being said and then you can make up your own mind. From being on here yesterday, I have no clue as to owns this NEW COMPANY. No one has identified themselves.
Part was cut off. Deleted it from the hard drive. I would
like to get this working so I can test with other places. If not, I dont know what to do. I have an Infinity foot pedal and it works fine on DQS so I dont want to go out and buy foot pedals not knowing what to buy and if it will work. Hopefully this tech guy will have an answer since he works for the company I am testing for.
No, I'm just sick of the nasty posts so I deleted the entire thread.
It's really quite unbecoming of some of you and is not tolerated.
Patti,you may have missed her other posts where she
reference materials. THAT is what I am referring to. She has indicated her _good education_ should be enough to keep her employed and isn't willing to invest is current references. I don't respect that type of attitude...can you?
Thanks, I guess I just missed that!
Gonna get it ordered today because I have 1 podiatrist who is kicking my butt.
Thanks again!
Oh no! Tape missed part ....
I have Desperate Housewives and Grey's preset to tape every week. Wasn't thinking with the Super Bowl that Grey's would start late. The tape cut off right after Dr. Burke sent everyone out of OR except for 2 other people. He had just told the EMT that her hand was keeping the man from bleeding out and the bomb squad was coming. Then <poof> that was it! What happened next? Anyone, please? Thanks.
Oops, missed the part about expecting it to be as big as the moon!

Sorry! missed the part about apartment and elderly woman below you
So I'm thinking the jumping jacks and/or the exercise video aren't the greatest tips. How about an exercise bike?
I guess ya'll missed the point, but not surprising
I asked for opinions only of people who had SEEN the movie, oh well. I saw it and found it very sad, sad that people are condemned for who they love!!!
Posts deleted. Thread turned political. Take political
discussion to the Politics forums.
Oh. It's well wishes. Guess with the posts here on the subject that wasn't apparent. nm

I guess it all depends on what part of the country you live.
I could not live on $2000 a month. Our house payment is more than that, not including electric, cable, car, etc. One day we will retire down south!!
Whatever u do, do not, I repeat
unless you like being taken for a total ride. Lost wages, line stealing, lied to, work 7 days a week so their pockets can get fatter and yours gets thinner. Just some friendly advice for job seekers. 
Might be a repeat but ..
did you try click on VIEW, TOOLBARS and make sure ADDRESS is checked. If it is then uncheck it and check it again and see if it reappears.
Also check on your standard toolbar where the front and back arrows, refresh, stop and home buttons are. I have accidentally drug mine onto that line before and it was a smaller version of it. If it is there you should be able to click and drag it down to it's own line.
I repeat.......
.. the company knowingly broke the law! Nine years ago none of us knew anything about this subject. She didn't complain because she didn't know any better, but she's still a victim.
REPEAT REPEAT REPEAT
It is NOT illegal to collect Social Security OR disability and still work.....I was just trying to find out how I could work and not make over the $900 a month I was allowed to earn. What is WRONG with you people?????
I am probably going to repeat SM
what a few other people have said. You must prepare yourself in order to be successful in getting an at-home job. You must have a headset, a pedal and books already. How are you taking tests with no books?
You must also own a Book of Style if you are trying to get a job at one of the national companies. You must know it before you test.
You must KNOW that you are going to be able to type at least 1200 lines per day and that DOES NOT include headers/footers and sometimes even spaces. Do you know whether your current line count includes those?
You must be prepared, if you have this many years of experience, to put out your 1200 lines per day within a week or so. If you are angry about something and your response is to drop your line count to 600 at a service, their answer to you will be see you later, have a nice life.
To be crying at work and not speaking to your manager is not a good thing, but you also should know that working from home is no cup of tea. You will receive email with feedback you may not like, calls or email from an account supervisor that contain things that make you upset. How will you handle that?
let me repeat what I said before
The element of control!
You got it, they don't.
The service (or client, if you call directly into it) has just so many lines and connections available. How will a service stay in business if they have 500 MTs and all of them want to work from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.? So, they give the element of control to you ... "which time slot would you like to work?" There's nothing that says you can't bargain with them. I know you can, 'cause I have. I've had a problem with insomnia for years, so I'll work 2-3 hours until 5 -6 a.m. and then I go back to sleep for a while. When I get up again, I'll return to work for the rest of "the work day." That's one of the things I bring to the table. If the MTSO wants you badly enough, they'll negotiate on the times. If they won't, you don't work for them. You have the element of control.
As far as not knowing the law ... well, there's a very specific reason why you're told up front if you'll be an IC or not. And if you don't know what an "IC" is, you need to find out. If it applies to working and you get paid, go to the www.irs.gov website. No disrespect intended, but not doing that is as foolhearted (sp?) as taking a medication without knowing the side effects.
My temperament is such that there are some things I'm not willing to do. Work YOUR schedule (not you, personally) is one of them. I also won't work outside the home or learn a platform (i.e. DocScribe) ... no system is telling me how many lines I transcribed. That alone restricts my options of who I can work for. But, it's a risk I'm willing to take. So far, I've been lucky.
The bottom line is ... know what's expected of you BEFORE you apply for a job. But, don't apply for a position and when you're told that XYZ is "required," say "that's illegal by IRS laws." I've already been through it, and I'll tell you what the IRS told me: "If you have the element of control, you're an IC."
And for the record ... an IC sets the line rate, not the service. They also determine the manner in which lines are counted (i.e. Sylcount, Abacus). People need to keep that in mind the next time they applying for a position.
I have said this before and will repeat again
I have worked on Escription now for the same hospital, outsourced and once again picked up working for the same hospital on Escription, same platform, nothing changed. DO NOT count on Escription taking over anyone's job. My dictators have for the most part remained the same. Escription started out as better than I would have expected and life was good. For whatever reason, it has gone to a lot of salad this day (mixed up mess) and it does things now it did not do in the first place such as not putting in periods at the end of a sentence and knowing the next word (which is capitalized) is start of new sentence, does not insert physician's names when said (and if it does incorrect such as Dr. Brown), does not number in sequence (it did when I first started on the same system) so when you say VR will eventually take over, I see every day where it has a long way to go. It is so irritating to me now because of what I knew it could do when I started about 4 or 5 years ago and now such a mess. It is not because of the dictators and I have no idea why. I sometimes have numbering going from 1 to 4, 4, 4, 4, 4 and then 1 and so on, well you get the picture. Thank your lucky stars if you have Escription that works HALFWAY right because mine has gone to the dogs.
I repeat, the price of everything, the value of nothing.nm

Do NOT get Vista. I repeat - DO NOT!
Better to buy a system at Best Buy and load your own software (i.e., XP Home Edition).
I repeat - and YOU have never had a typo?

repeat offenders
I used to transcribe dictation from this one guy who was a chronic um-er and and uh-er and paper shuffler. Just for the heck of it, once I counted how many times he said "um" or
"uh" in a three-minute dictation, and it was something like 45 times! OMG, ridiculous! I've always thought that a good punishment for terrible dictators would be that they have to transcribe their own dictation for awhile!
Know this is probably repeat question but...
What are you using for a computer? I think in the past you said a laptop but I am not sure. Also, if it is a laptop, did you have to add extra memory, etc., to load all the software programs you need? I am very interested in what works as I have such back problems I had to let a lot of business go and am sorry with all this economy stuff, had I had your brain and done it your way, it would have been worth the investment. I just worry some won't accept a laptop, etc. Appreciate your comments, you are truly a "helping" person, that was the reason I chose this profession but not too many want to part with help. Kudos to you.
Just do a search and read the posts. There are plenty of posts about OSI on this board. nm.

Repeat after me,,,,, I love that movie.

My calendar says it's repeat the same sentence over-n-over day

Hey, it took us over 8, I repeat 8 weeks to sign my FIL up for cable TV.
US-based call center, talked to a different ENGLISH-speaking person....and they still didn't get it right for 8 weeks, 10 phone calls, no joke. It's not all the fault of the offshore workers, it's right here on our own soil. Go figure!
Dont mean this situation. Mean repeat blanks,

You step on someone's foot to get them to repeat what they said if you didn't hear them the
first time.
LOL...this IS fun 
The easy part is making the decision to leave, the hard part is
actually doing it. Been in your shoes and it took me a year and a half to leave after I had made the decision to do so. It was the best thing I have ever done for myself and my girls. I had family and friends and a counselor telling me what needed to be done and I knew what needed to be done but until I had the courage on my own to do it I stayed. One day, we had an argument and he spit in my face and that was the last straw for me. Even though it is something that I will NEVER forget, that day is also a day I will never forget because it is the day that I took my kids and left. I am a single mom of 2 and have been single and supporting us for 5 years now. I have been healing ever since and still am to this day. You can do this. I know that if I hadn't have left and I would have stayed one of us would be dead by now or both.

all i did was tell the truth about her bad language in an email to me. it was the truth and based on fact. are we not allowed to post true events?
I know - my comment was deleted
.....I guess if you own the board you can delete anything you don't like being said about yourself. So much for freedom of speech.
Deleted lines.
I do not count it if it is just a sentence or two. If it is say a whole note, or close to it, I do count it and send a note stating what I did.
This is a deleted website????
