I don't look at edited reports anymore. Not only do

In Reply to: Re QA, has anyone stopped - MT****
what WAS a correctly-typed report, they also can't seem to even agree with each other. Take the word 'disk/disc', for example. If I spell it with a 'K', it'll come back corrected to be spelled with a 'C'. So, when I start typing it with a 'C', a different QA person will send it back as incorrect.
If you try to call them out on it, (which of course you have to do through the supervisor because there's no way to contact the Holy Ones (QA), they just standy by their QAs.
Anyway, I'm not paid enough to have QA's snotty attitudes raise my blood pressure 20 points. It just ain't worth the aggravation.
You're right about number of errors, too. I'm sure those QA people come nowhere near a 98% accuracy rate, based on the junk they send back to me. They seem to get all anal-retentive about tiny little things that really don't matter, and not what really matters: A correct, easy-to-read medical (and legal) document that makes the doctor look good, instead of making him look like a fool.

edited to say should be adapter
I spelled adapter wrong. It HAS been a long day.
Most places can tell who has edited
a report, whether the MT, QA, or other personnel. I had a physician actually go in and change something on mine which was not correct. I saw that it had been changed and contacted my supervisor and she was able to tell the physician had changed it, not QA. So there are things in place most programs that can tell who made what changes.
It would be 3 cpl on corrections to edited
I do not know of a company or a platform that credits typed corrections on edited reports at a straight transcription rate. Of course, that does not mean that there are not any out there, just that I have not heard of any.
At 3 cpl, your production would have to be incredible to make decent money, especially if all you were doing was editing.
I've edited your message. (SM)
Stop the name calling. You can disagree but must post respectfully without name-calling or other such tactics.
In actuality, if the report is edited in any
go after your initials as being the one who edited the report. This does not happen, but I think it should. This way, the ultimate responsibility for that edited report falls on that person and not the original MT whose initials are first. Wouldn't you agree? 
Your reply was to an edited post

In my experience, every company I have worked has only edited
reports that I send to them with blanks or questions, which is probably less than 5%. From reading these boards, I get the impression most of the work from India needs to be edited. So you would think if it needs so much editing, it would not worth it. But maybe not. Who knows - we'll just have to see. If doctors complain about the quality that would probably slow the offshoring down.
Edited to remove place of employment. sm
That might be a little too much information. 
Since your work will have to be edited for a while, expect 5 to 6 cpl realistically.
if you took one of the better courses and did not get placed, then you should expect an increase in that line rate within WEEKS of hire, not MONTHS. All the MTSO should have to do is see that you are getting the job done then raise your line rate. Good luck!
edited to add I have checked ebay and amazon

It's true. You have to be reassigned a job to get the voice again. Jobs can't be edited once s

That was hundreds of thousands of WELL-WRITTEN and WELL EDITED letters

I have a microcassette player with an edited tape of dictation that
No, really, I keep it with me because I get these questions and responses ALL THE TIME. I got so fed up with trying to explain that I just pull out my recorder, hit play, and then watch the looks as they realize that can't understand a single thing the dictator is saying. Now, THAT, my friends, is PRICELESS!
I edited MT with mistakes in template,told bout

He's just yanking your chain. Has ever edited the train wreck that is left

The MR reports were being filed. Referring physicians/medical care providers reports were not.
This is a hospital radiology department with in-house MTs and a clerk who is in charge of the report distribution.
The two sentence normal reports will balance out the 3 page reports.
I am Wendy too
Your English teacher does not do medical reports. This is for medical reports.

do you ever wonder anymore when they say
they 'lost the account' if it went to VR or somewhere else? Was it an easy account?
Perhaps you just need to get used to the new one. That happens to me, I panic on new accounts, and then after doing them a few weeks they are just as easy...
Sorry to hear you are losing money, though. That can never be good when that happens to one of us...
No. I do not believe so. Not anymore.
i know too many companies who suck too bad.
Do they pay much anymore? (sm)
I've seen a few ads, one I saw yesterday paying a whole $25.00 for each audio tape. The audio tapes were each one hour. Puleeeze!
So if it took you 3 minutes to do their 1 minute, you would make a little over $8.00 an hour. That is if their recording is good enough to understand. If it took you 4 minutes to their 1 minute, you would make a little over $6.00 an hour.
I used to, but not anymore. sm
I went to Wal Mart at 6 a.m. (only because I was already up) a couple of years ago and people were literally fighting in line to get to the door. I got in my car and went home. All I wanted was a 13 inch TV that was on sale, but figured it wasn't worth it.
I went back the next day and asked a salesperson if there was any chance they might have any of those 13 inch TV's left and he said, "Oh heck yes. We have hundreds of them out back. How many would you like me to go and get?"
Well, I just had to buy 2.

Just a couple of weeks ago it got hacked and let through all kinds of worms/viruses.

I used to type verbatim and thought that was the way it was suppose to be as an MT until I was told that I needed to correct grammer, punctuation etc. from the company I work for "which is part of being an MT and not just a typist". So, since I was "informed" of how things were I make changes if necessary.
Don't cry anymore...get out as soon as possible.
Please follow the advice that has been written here in this thread... You've given this man (?) every chance. I wasted 7 years of my life to an alcoholic who was selfish, could've cared less about his sons, and all the while, I was hoping and praying that he would change. As a matter of fact, I gave him an ultimatum, and he is the one who left. It was a Saturday, I cried all day, didn't have a job, never had a job, what was I going to do? Well, come Monday, I went to the Welfare Department, got an emergency check, and by Monday afternoon, I was singing, dancing around, thrilled, and my kids had not seen me that happy all of their young lives! Really sad when I think about what I let them go through! It is not fair or healthy for the children, and to think I cowered until HE made the decision. After I left the welfare office, I thought how easy it was, and why didn't I do this sooner. Then, when I got my bearings, I went out into the big world and started working, scraped of course, but life went on, and the kids and I were happy. As the old saying goes, you have nothing to fear but fear itself. Please do this for yourself, but especially your children. God Bless You and give you strength.
yes, but not bad anymore.
it took numerous dermatologists to even get it diagnosed right. But mine itches fiercely. Used to have to take anti-itch meds orally. I have a mild case right now on my hand and legs. Years ago, had an Rx specially cococted at the pharmacy. The only component of that I recall is urea. Avoid hot water and soaps as much as possible. Other than finding a GOOD dermatologist, I'm afraid I don't have any advice to offer though.

from someone who does not have Mom anymore
I don't have my Mom around anymore and so with this in mind what I can suggest is time, do something with her, make time for her and make her feel important. Give her your undivided attention. It only has to be a lunch, a drive somewhere with lunch but most of the time all they want is time with their children. Just like when we were children and wanted their time and attention, now it has come full circle and they want our time and undivided attention. Even if you don't get along that well with your Mom, try it and see if it works. Wish I had more time with my Mom and there were times we did not get along but would love one more Mother's Day. Just a thought.
Not anymore, but I was 24 when I got into MT, 34 now. nm

Used to like her, but don't anymore (sm)
I agree. Who cares what her favorite things are?
Not anymore!
Happened to me too. I now work for a company that charges the hospital by the minutes dictated, so even when they do change their minds, I'm still getting paid.
I don't SR anymore but
I really liked it when I worked at the Q. The complaint that you can type it faster than edit it never applied to me because I used to be reading and editing way ahead of where the dictation was. After a while, I learned to interpret some of the garbage ASR put in and would change it before it was even dictated. So I was actually editing faster than it was being dictated. I am not sure I explained it well, but no way I could have typed it that fast.
it's sad that nobody ever says thanks anymore
I might catch and correct literally hundreds of mistakes in any given week, but if I happen to miss one - THAT'S the only thing I'll ever hear about.
not anymore. nm

Its not too expensive anymore, and i think...
that it's worth it. It could make the difference between a new client, and that in itself would pay for the cost of your website. I would suggest either of these services:
www.aplus.net or www.sitefever.com
I used to use a timer, but not anymore.
It would jump the living daylights out of me every time as I was "in the transcribing zone." :)
Can't be too careful anymore.
Very wise call.
Nothing about MQ is adding up anymore.

not a legal anything anymore
You really need to speak with an attorney about this. I see several issues: 1- she was not divorced, as I understand it, so her husband might have rights to the m/c; 2- Dependant on the existance (I spelled that wrong huh) of a will, who knows who actually owns the bike; but, 3- if the bike is in her name on the title, and there is no leinholder, odds are, the seller has no legal footing (unless there's a contract of sorts with receipts to verify his legal standing).... it boils down to, talk to an attorney in your state, laws vary so much state to state.
I'm so sorry for your loss, and so sorry this had to pop up to get in the way of your grieving and healing process.
I don't do homemade anymore
Being single, its just easier nowadays to buy chili, the fritos and cheese. One thing I NEVER EVER EVER EVER buy (or made) chili with beans .... el yucko!!!!
I use to all the time. Not anymore though.
It is only because no one offers that anymore
nm
She's never on this board anymore.
If you notice, we haven't heard from her since Christmas. She has hired others to respond to us. Probably because she is ashamed.
I don't watch it anymore, but...
watched it today and bawled like I did the first time when Dr. Green's father died and then bawled all over again when Carol and Doug were reunited.
I don't even watch anymore
I used to be a huge Idol fan; however, this season they have lost me. The show is boring and does not keep my attention. I am pulling for Chris to win, even though I don't watch because I live in Greensboro, NC and he is from McLeansville. I went to high school in McLeansville and knew his family. He is a really great guy and I think he is wonderfully talented. I hear updates on the radio and see them on the local news every now and then and that is enough for me. I still think the best season by far was the very first one when Kelly Clarkson won. I am a huge fan of hers and she has been the most successful yet. We shall see what happens with the rest of them.
who even cares anymore what the BOS says?
not me!
That's why I chose not to take them at all anymore. (s/m)
That way no one's feelings get hurt. I can always buy my OWN clothing, and if I have something I no longer wear the other friend might want, I can still give that to her, instead.
That's why I don't shop there anymore. sm
Years ago, they had this wonderful vanilla almond lotion. Discontinued. Then a delicious pineapple-mango lotion/body lotion/body butter. I bought it in everything they had. Discontinued. The last time did it for me. Why do they do that! 
Wordperfect 5.1 for Dos - does anyone use this anymore? sm
I' m not sure what board to put this one but . . . I have an computer with Wordperfect 5.1 for DOS on it that I've kept around "just in case." Are there any companies that actually use this program anymore or is it safe to say that I can get rid of it? TIA
Can't anyone take anything in fun anymore? Why so anal?

the chum is all sent to QA, by MTs who don't even try anymore, or don't know what they are doi
