I checked the archives and found some
So thanks anyway.
I don't know about pick up and delivery. I suppose you could get a courier for that. Not sure about working with tapes. I don't know how much I can make at it but need more than the $11/hr. I make now.
Thanks.:)
Forget it...found it in the archives that came up after I posted. - nm

I found the work!!!!!!!!!!
I just heard what happened to the work - Tonya Wimberly-Huger ate it! LOL! LOL! LOL!
What I have found to work the best, is to put
a standard-size bed pillow in my lap (prop it against desk or keyboard tray) and that helps me to sit back with my back against the chair. I tend to lean forward a bit. You also might want to get something to put under your feet like a thick phone book, an old wooden Coke box, or something similar. This tends to make you sit straighter too. I've tried pillows and that butterfly shaped cushion between me and my chair and they just weren't comfortable.
evacuee - just found work at library
Hello!
Hope I am doing this right. Do not know how to reply to posts but here goes -
Library down the street from where I am staying has wireless internet. They said I could stay there all day. Going to by a lap top tonight!!!! Praise the Lord!!!
Called Medquist. My supervisor and the main office I am from - kind of overwhelmed with calls from evacuees and their e-mails.
Talked to payroll. VEry helpful. Said I could use vacation time for day I missed. Medquist is not THAT bad!!!

I found out the hard way that first in always have the work. Supervisor sm
doesn't care what time I work. As was stated to me first come first serve.
Stopped getting work in the middle of Dec and found a new job.. however he
There are some who work locally to the office. Has anyone asked them if the office is open? I live in a different state. What a royal mess!
Or why not hire an IC to work on the account under you? You found it
and it is your reputation and bidding that sealed the account, why not ask IC's to BID on it. You might find somebody who loves derm work and wants the money. Even if you only make 1-2 cpl over your IC it adds up.
Mistakes found in other people's work
I work on a platform where we can pull up previously-transcribed reports for samples. I have worked for this company for about 7 months now and have never had a QA done on my work. I like to know if I am doing something wrong or if there is a better/easier way of doing things. While going through some reports to get samples I have noticed things that are not that big a deal, but more along the line of somebody padding their lines, i.e., in the laboratory section writing out the number seventeen, in extremity examination writing out plus-two pedal pulses, cranial nerves two through twelve, things like this. Also, things like sclerae IS instead of are. Our accounts are not verbatim.
I guess my question is what would most of you do, leave it alone or say something about it? I have left it alone for this long, but it just doesn't sit well with me. I'm sure I do things that are wrong too and that is why I wouldn't mind getting reviewed every now and then to ensure consistency and quality. Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions.
I've found you have to work more than 8 hours a day to
If I had to stick to an 8-hour time period, I couldn't afford to continue.
No flame here - think it's great you found something that will work for you plus get clothes clea
at the same time. Thanks for sharing this tip with us!
I had found an earlier post that said Infinity would work with InScribe, but sm
I don't think the poster knew about the most recent upgrade.
I had also read about the start/stop pedal being frustrating due to it not stopping immediately. I did find one at Dictran that said exclusively for InScribe, but there are two types there, so that was also confusing!
I used to work for a hospital that used Meditech and we found the line counts to be inconsistent. SM
I used to be a supervisor and was trying to find a way to monitor productivity on Meditech and found that line counts fluctuated greatly! I did all kinds of comparisons - typed reports in word and counted the lines in word with MP Count and then compared it with Meditech and there was sometimes near a 200 line discrepancy at the end of the day. Then we found that running a line count twice in Meditech on the same MT and same reports would get us two different numbers with about 20 lines difference.
Meditech is just not MT friendly, but unfortunately MTs are at the bottom of the list of considerations when choosing an EMR system. I gave up and started keeping track of minutes of dictation.
I've found this resource pretty useful for rehab work. Link inside.
Have this as one of my bookmarks - found this handy whilst handling rehab work. Hope this helps!

Oh, I found it really creepy when you said you found the flowers not so skillfully arranged on your
steps, and from your own flower bed. That's what I was worried about, having gone thru some psycho kids myself with my pups. Someone's been in your yard and in your garden and at your door without your knowledge. Its just creepy to me, and I'd still be very, very careful. Especially valid sounded the other MTs warning you about potential fake molestation charges. You just NEVER know nowadays, and these people have already turned on you big time once. Luckily (though I don't believe in luck), you had it on film to save yourself and your puppy. You might not be that lucky next time, and the whole thing just sounds very unstable to me right now. I know you feel sorry for the little girl, but probably the only time I have ever made BAD decisions regarding my life is when I felt sorry for someone, particularly kids. My son even has an evil kid in his life, but one who has a million reasons for sympathy, and I was saying how we should "be bigger" than the situation and invite this kid over to play. Thankfully, I regained my sanity long enough to remember - ever time I have done something like that on a personal basis for someone just because I feel sorry for them AFTER horrible behavior, it has always been a disaster... Be kind, but you don't have to risk your family again. Be kind from a distance. Its sorry she went thru this horrible experience, but YOU didn't cause it, and its not really your problem. But it could be your problem if this kid acts out in your life. Know what I mean?
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.
I have never found a program shorthand does not work with, it works outside the program (I think tha

in the archives for SS
and we will see how jazzed you are. Line stealing, lying, demanding, worst company out there. Been there, done that!!!!!
archives
where do I go to get to archives?
Archives
I thought if you did the search above using the MTStars option, that was the archives??? LOL
Sorry I'm no help.....
archives
If the newbies are making $7 and not admitting it..shame on them. We all had to start from somewhere. Moreover, you people with your smart-butt replies to honest questions make me sick. What's wrong with a polite reply, say, something like, We just discussed that recently. Why not access the archives....etc....but NO, ya gotta have a wise-crack answer. Shows your mental age real well.
Don's use the Archives, just use the
"search" box just above the postings, not the one at the time that you have to check web or mtstars.
I checked the archives and there isn't much on TRS.
TIA
CHECK THE ARCHIVES
BAD, BAD, BAD.
do an archives search
They totally suck! Very unprofessional group of people. Surpised they are still hanging in.
read the archives.....they do
it was posted in the last couple of weeks
If OP had checked the archives on any of these
companies she would have found all the info needed. I've posted in minute detail many times about SS when asked, so the information is there.
search archives.
//
Search the archives for yourself.
.
Did you check archives? It seems like I saw something about
them within the past 2 weeks and it wasn't good, but I can't swear to it.
OTI. The best. Check archives. nm

try searching the archives
This has been discussed several times in the last few months. You should be able to find some answers there.
I myself have posted in archives about this man..

here's one fave from my archives...sm
i had a young neurosurgeon dictating an extremely complicated brain surgery while on his cell phone in his sports car...all of a sudden i hear the engine screaming (sounded like a ferrari!) and him saying, "sh**...I gotta make this light, hold on..." which was followed by nothing but ENGINE noise for a few seconds, then a brief pause, and he calmly continued dictating his complex report...talk about multitasking...i'll never forget that one. :)
Thanks will search the archives
:-)
did you run the company name through the archives
here?? Problems like this usually have a history, and a long one at that.
Try the archives for this. Not too long ago
there was a discussion, not sure what board it was on though.
CHECK the archives on this.

thanks - did check archives, but
did not really get enough good info to make a decision, so am looking for any other MTer's who have had experience with these.
Please help....everyone always says "look in archives" BUT...
when I look in the Archives for let's say Amphion....it only brings things up from 2007? Explain this to me.
Check the archives
HUGE discussion that lasted for days just a couple of months ago on this very subject. I think there are even links to a website regarding unionization of MTs, if I'm not mistaken.
Get some coffee and be ready to read for awhile; pros, cons, neutrals, etc., it's all in those threads!
How do I search the archives? sm
For instance, I try to find info on TTS in New Hampshire and I put it in the search box at the top of the page and click "mtstars" for searching rather than search the web. I get only stuff from 2006 when I know there is more recent info. It happens to me with everything. What am I doing wrong?
I think I found it, found multiple recipes with the same
exact ingredients so I figure this must be it.

Try searching the archives. Some of us get tired of
answering the same old questions for people who can't be bothered to research what we said about that exact topic only last week. Besides, only the people making big bucks answer the polls. You don't see any of the newbies who are only earning $7 an hour admitting to it.
Nevermind...looked in archives...sorry.

Search the archives - lot of information nm

Check the archives and then RUN FOR YOUR LIFE

I have been reading in the archives about expanders
I have gotten the names of Smart Type, Instant Text and Shorthand for Windows... I would like opinions on these if you have one, and I would also like to know if I can use one program for both my desktop and laptop, or if I have to buy the program twice and enter all my expansions twice?
TIA and TTFN
research archives here on board...nm
