doing the crap and ESL dictation.  Nobody will 'fess up to doing the good stuff.  I do work for a small MTSO, but I get all the ESLs because nobody else can handle them.  I don't mind them, but I'd like to make some decent money for a change.  I haven't knowingly worked for a company that offshores or uses VR, but they're not going to tell us that anyway.

Good post! What I find especially ironic
is at least in our state all the phone work, etc. related to welfare and foodstamps has now been outsourced overseas.

Uh, hello... how about giving those jobs to the people who are on welfare or foodstamps cause they can't find jobs?!?!? Since when did the government care about saving money anyway?
How did I find out...from this board!
I can relate to your frustration. Finally asked on the board and got the info.

I tried to find this on the Word board...
but had no luck. Do you think maybe it is a solution that they use solely at the facility you are transcribing for? Is there maybe a Dr. Schimmel and he has made his own solution to use on his patients? They do that sometimes. Do you have any way to check with your account and find out if this is something that they use only there?
you might find more info through the company board here.
or did you try that? I'm not awake, tring to help, tho.

RadGuy, I gottah say this. You'll find someone on this board if you keep posting!! Even though mo
married (happily, others not), you just come off as interested in what we do as MTs (because you understand), you are funny, witty, and have a great personality....

I can just see it now....
You are personally invited to a virtual on-line wedding to celebrate.....

LOL!!

Does anyone find the search feature on this board doesn't work right?
I can't ever seem to find the old posts that I know are there by using the search feature.  Does anyone else have this problem or is it just me?
If you so a search on this board you'll find lots of info.

Basically, you've got it right. However, voice files can be large and email may reject large file attachments. Also, there's the security aspect that you didn't mention. Basically, the voice file and finished document need to be encrypted to be secure.


You said you don't have the time/didn't take the time to do the research. Lots of people have and have shared their findings time and again on this board. I, for one, am not willing to reinvent the wheel every time someone is looking for this information but doesn't want to take the time to do the legwork. No offense meant but please do take the time to educate yourself. If you really don't have the time or don't want to take that time, then be prepared to pay for that information in the form of a consultant.


Ironic
That is ironic, huh!! LOL Too funny!
Isn't it ironic that...sm

so many speech pathologists have Terrible Enunciation??????  I can barely make it thru this report because this pathologist can't seem to close her mouth to form a hard consonant.  Wish they could hear themselves.



ironic.
While you were teaching IT to recognize what it hears...IT was teaching you to recognize what you see....

ber-doink! :o]
(forgive - it's late)

What is ironic is that...
it doesn't seem that you know the definition of "ironic", uless you have some other meaning to your comment that has eluded me.  Nice to have the grammer police out as well as the spelling police, right? 
But you know what's REALLY ironic about it?
I wasn't going to ask, because it's certainly none of my business--plus it would have been wrong for her to TELL me if I had been crass enough to ask--but I'm willing to get cold hard cash that she pays her Transcriptionist MUCH better than those of us who work for the nationals get paid. Go figure.

I will say, in her partial defense, she is one of the nicest, kindest people I have ever known, which is why I am betting she pays pretty well.
Do an archive search on this board and you'll find lots of info. NM

ironic.... it's lose
nm
If you search the posts, I think the Company board, you will find that the monies paid to AAMT

for CMT/RMT cerifications are being used to offer "India" rates to workers in India to test for their CMT/RMT cerifications. I REFUSE TO BELONG TO SAID ORGANIZATION AND I WILL NOT CONTRIBUTE MY HARD-EARNED FUNDS TO HELPING INDIANS GET CREDENTIALED.


Also, forgot to mention how ironic it is - sm
that it's okay for our MT jobs to be lost to outsourcing overseas, and in the same breath, the foreigners are welcome to come here and given loans to start businesses in the U.S. Does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that something is drastically wrong with our government.
Asked on the drug board...ever heard of a T-Teck Pack for pneumonia? Cant find any info on it. Help!

This is ironic. We are going through the same thing at the company I work for. sm
They want to set the standard at 15 dictated minutes per hour for clinic, 150 lines per hour for HIM and 15 reports an hour for radiology and cardiology. Can anyone tell me if we are in the ballpark? Are these realistic? I am a lead and do not want to scare off my team, but I think we do not get the dedication that we could.

Can anyone else share their quotas with companies (no names necessary) or hospitals?

Are we getting lazy or are expectations too high?
Google South Beach Diet forum and you'll find a good board there for information. nm

go to chat room on web site and find out. i'm working but if you find out, let me know.

cherrypicking co-worker issue (meant to post it on this board instead of MQ board) sm...

I need opinions please...I work on a very small account with just a handful of ladies.  Because of the nature of the software (trying not to get too specific here) we can see who is working online and what reports they are working on in real-time...



We have one cherrypicker on the account.  Instead of using FIFO method, she retrieves the reports by author ID - usually picking the better dictators of course.  She knows I busted her and she did admit to it in on our work e-mail (not too bright) which I am saving just in case she gets out of hand - so far I'm still able to make money since really most of the dictators aren't bad. 



But every night it's starting to wear on me since she's screwing up turnaround time.  I don't really want to cause a big uproar being that it is such a small account and I need to work with her almost every night usually one on one.



What would you all do?  I want to handle this as delicate and professional as possible because we can't really afford to lose anyone on this account.  In other words, I refuse to stoop to her level by cherrypicking right back.


My boss has asked me several times why so-and-so does so much more than I do...I just bite my lip at that point but one of these days I think I might explode and just open up a can of worms....


Definitely one of the other board's people who refer to those on this board as "holy rollers,&

I find that if I ....sm

get over-tired I'll have more problems with palpitations than when I'm well rested.  I also have them more if I've been taking in more caffeine.  While these palpitations are harmless they are annoying, aren't they?


So find a new job already
It's your own fault if you stay and put up with it.  Complaining doesnt change a thing. Find a new job, we have all done it!
