Been in this biz for over 15 years, and I've seen all kinds...
a doc who used to snort cocaine in and out of surgery - a pain management doc who used to sell OxyContin on the side to his friends and friends' associates and was just lately sentenced to a prison term - another doctor who was just thrown in jail for one year and fined bucco bucks plus lost his licence to practice medicine for hitting on women patients. Another one who was a drunkard and would operate on his patients in a stupor. All except for three docs have been arrogant, pompous, money-hungry know-it-alls who run totally dysfunctional offices and hire totally dysfunctional employees, seemingly not caring one iota about their patients with the exception of how much he can bill off of them. They dictate like they're half in the bag and could give a fig. The only thing of major concern to the, it obviously appears, is what five-star cruise line they're going to take their family on vacation for two months out of the year. LOL!
I've got it really bad, but mine is from the &$@#($@#
ESL dictators that also mumble. Out of 28 reports today I've had 27 of these reports.
Got mine on Amazon too. I've really liked it... will have to look around too then. nm

I've scheduled mine too (sm)
On my authorization letter to test it said CTMC and so I registered for test C on the Prometric site. I paid $150 with the current discount. Hopefully that is all that is necessary for you too. Good luck getting it figured out and good luck on the test. Mine is scheduled for December 11th! :)
Well, I've never changed mine and
don't plan to, so it should always be me!
Your letter could've been mine ---
Two applications to 'brick & mortar' hosp. MT depts. that ARE HIRING, and yet no response, not even an email. I think age descrimination is playing a role here.

Seeing as I spend so much time in this chair, comfort equals production. I paid $450 for it from a local Herman Miller furniture dealer. They had it as a demo during one of the office furniture shows.
It has a 12-year warranty and when I needed my hydraulic cylinder replaced, they came to my home, fixed it on site and even replaced the seat webbing so the chair was just like new once again.
For all the money I had spent in the past on chairs I had to replace once a year and sometimes more, I figured I'm getting a good return on my investment.
Check ebay or other places on the web to see if you can find it at a more reasonable price.

good return on my time, and I know that's not true for everybody.

Yeah, you're right. Who cares who licenses your software? Heck, I use all pirated software anyw
why pay for anything, right?
Except that is AGAINST THE LAW!!!
There are all kinds of
posts on this board that have absolutely nothing to do with transcription. What is your point? Are you new to this board? Have you not ever read all the posts about everyting from Big Brother to underwear?

2 kinds of VR
There are 2 kinds of speech recognition. Front-end, like Dragon Dictate, depends on the dictator stopping and correcting his mistakes as he goes. This is what your client should be using. Back-end speech recognition, like what InfraWare or eScription uses, recognizes that correction should occur after the fact by a qualified MT. Those systems provide the Editor with a first draft where the text is tied to the type for easy editing. Your client is confused - not you. Dragon Dictate was not meant to be used this way.
That is why there are all kinds of people
in this world. Different strokes for, well you know the rest. There are lots of fish in the sea. Where 1 don’t work, another 1 will. I could go on and on but I think you might get my idea.
Why not first try with other kinds of transcription
If you are a good transcriptionists there are companies that hire "general" transcriptists to do all kinds of work--interviews, insurance interviews, focus groups, etc. I would start here and learn the process of applying for work, testing, and all that. This is a big part to learn when applying for online work. Some of these services also do medical transcription and you could back in that way. Just Google words like insurance transcription, focus group transcription, business transcription and you will be surprised what you will find. Don't just sit and wait for medical. These companies would give you great training and exposure to working on web platforms and QA and that kind of thing. You have every shot in the world to do this as a starting point. Most services like this want some experience and may start you low but you've got to start somewhere. Then you can start filling up your resume to show you at least have worked for some services. In the meantime you can poke around trying to test/apply with some MTSOs. Are there any services in your area you could sub for? Best of luck.

a pregnancy, not the least is abstinence. Why people are so irresponsible is beyond me and then an innocent life will suffer because of her stupidity.
You go OP! Thank goodness those kinds of people...
weren't the ones we needed to depend on in the past 250 yrs. Where would we be now? My ex-husband earns a VERY GOOD salary from the training he received in the Army. He has no college degree, just his military training, which is highly specialized and has provided him with a good income for many years.
I prefer pie here, too. Always have birthday pie, usually two kinds.
:+
We brew different kinds at home....sm
I love grinding my coffee and mixing flavors. our favorites to mix are hazelnut and irish creme. My husband & I go to Starbucks once a week and usually get the caramel frappuccino as a treat - love that stuff!
If u need server software, try guild ftp. If just user software
then try cuteftp, coffeecupftp, or wsftp. They don't charge a line rate and I believe guildftp server software is still free.
Takes all kinds in this world I guess.
Bite me.
Probably echoing the others, but this mother of 3 has been though all kinds of these things.
I'd advise not to buy a vehicle for her. You're just setting yourself up for more problems once you put wheels and more freedom into her mix of things. She's not going to be a happy camper but you've got to stand your ground with her. Bring the secrets to the forefront and try to gain her understanding about your feelings and what this does to you. Hopefully it's not to late to get her attention and understanding. In the meantime, you certainly don't want to add to your frustration by putting a car in the mix, it will mean the worst for you (that's just my opinion though). What you do totally is up to you, but she needs you to be strong to possibly save her from herself.
These kinds of posts never cease to amaze me (sm)
Your company didn't have to send you anything. A card is a gift -- which is optional. Since when should a recipient of a gift get to dictate what the gift is or is not?
Also, I don't think you mentioned the size of your company. Consider that not only is your attitude about the whole thing probably way off, but also you're not being realistic to think a company would have time to send each employee an individualized message.
They remembered you. They took time to send SOMETHING. Be glad and grateful. Did you send them anything?
My idea on what the U.S. should do about offshoring work of ALL kinds... (s/m)
I can understand U.S. companies wanting to cut costs and make a profit, and that of course is why they offshore. Even though it's at a huge cost to American workers. Which of course ultimately hurts the overall economy, because displaced workers have much less money to spend on goods & services, etc.
Offshoring isn't likely to be outlawed (though I sure wish it were, especially when it comes to sensitive records, such as financial and medical records!) But don't you think that if the U.S. is going to allow companies to send work offshore, those companies should have to pay a pretty hefty TAX for that privilege?
Here in Calif., our infrastructure such as roads, bridges, school system, fire and police departments, etc. is crumbling, and always needs more money. So of course they continue to raise taxes on us working-class people - the same ones whose jobs are going offshore! They get a little from the Lottery, and a little more from Indian casinos, who are paying the state for the privilege of running gambling casinos in a state where gambling casinos aren't legal! There is a tax on liquor and tobacco. All of those things aren't really good for people, and should be taxed.
Well, offshoring work away from hard-working, middle-class Americans isn't good for people, either! So don't you think companies should be encouraged to keep their work onshore by a TAX that would not only help each state in this country pay for things, but also remove the huge profits those companies make by taking good jobs away from Americans? Maybe that money could even be used to save our failing Social Security system.

It's no problem at all. Besides, I'll take lots of oodles of square footage any day of the week over living in a sardine can!
I use EXText with my current job and I've used at a couple of other jobs I've had. I've ne
used DocQscribe, but I have used Meditech, Cerner, Vianeta, the Precyse platform (I can't remember the name), Dolbey, and Lanier platform I think was called Cequence (?).
Out of all the different platforms I have typed on, I have liked EXText the best. In my opinion, it's very user friendly, easy to learn, and I really like ESP which is the built in abbreviation expander. Plus it is very easy to create your own normals which I love. My fingers literally never leave the keyboard because there are macro keys for everything. You can use your mouse if you prefer or learn the function macros. I love it. I think I'm more productive on EXText than with any other platform.
Another big factor is software. If the software isn't
transcription friendly, it can really hurt your bottom line.
Otherwise, $1.20 per report is a pretty decent rate for radiology.
Good luck - hope it works out for you.
I found out a long time ago that there are two kinds of editing.. one is editing MTs work (like QA)
and the other is editing as in VR. I have done VR editing, but when I put down this as experience on a resume, I was asked by the HR person if this meant that I had "edited" other MTs work. I think there is a lot of confusion out there and I wish they would just keep that as QA instead of calling it editing. Just be clear in what you want to edit as most companies that expect you to "edit" other MTs in a QA position do require you have a lot of experience. If you just going for VR editing, which is what Transcend has available and there are a few companies out there doing VR, none of which I think really require much experience as it is easy to learn. Hope I made some sense and it can be pretty confusing on how companies use the term "editing" thus it effects their expectations as far as experience goes.
Mine isn't like that. Mine is 2. All are programmed different.
