Some QA is being instructed to not give a crap
and just plug up the holes and ignore the rest! TAT, ya know! Yeah........get 'er done!
Give the crap a break. There is NO proof that MQ has sold, so 'critical' thinking isn't in
Give the crap a break. There is NO proof that MQ has sold, and while 'critical' thinking should be a part of the equation, sadly it isn't. All some posters are doing here is stirring up trouble and they can go somewhere else, we don't want it here.
Dano, regarding Softscript, I've received a number of emails from people who work at the company who appear to have legitimate complaints. I see no reason for posters to not be allowed to post for others to be watchful.
Because all threads referring to a so-called MQ sale were removed, some of the good comments went, too. When a thread is removed in its entirety we are unable to pick and choose what stays.

Maybe their work is crap, too..
...but cheaper crap. Maybe as long as hospitals and MTSOs figure they are going to get schlock work anyway, they would prefer it to be cheaper offshore work, and go through the many layers of QA and proofing?
Insurance companies are one thing, but I have to wonder what happens when a report with serious medical errors ends up in court as part of a megabucks malpractice suit. I mean if the doc dictates something like "50 mg of potassium" which the MT does not question, or some other horrible boo-boo that QA or the doc never catches. We are at the bottom of the pyramid, with QA and the doctor himself also responsible for catching mistakes before he signs. Anybody know of any histories of this?
I think things started going downhill when impersonal MTSOs took over the transcription business, then started buying and trading us like cattle. We truly don't know our coworkers or bosses. We're all just faceless typing machines out here. I don't know about any of you, but I did not get a raise the last five years I was with one MTSO, only 1 raise during the entire 10 years, and certainly no praise for a job well done - ever.
Yeah, I know, we still all should do our best all the time. But motivation is sometimes lacking when you feel depersonalized and as though at any moment your company will be sold, your job sent overseas, or you will be turned into a VR Editor against your will. Maybe some MTs are all about just typing as fast as possible while it lasts.
Did the MTSOs start this by going overseas for cheap, causing us to say 'what the heck' and become low quality? Or did we start this by being low quality, causing the MTSOs to go overseas since they were going to get bad work anyway? Opinions?
It means to skip the jobs in your work queue that - sm
are by difficult dictators, or have no line-count-bolstering templates, or require too much backing up, re-listening, sentence restructuring, or nose-in-reference time to get in your minimum lines. That's especially true if the employer doesn't weight the job's pay by difficulty. Most MTs voice disapproval of the practice, but sometimes an gal's gotta do what a gal's gotta do, in order to survive and make that next car payment, rent check, or grocery bill.
It means one MTSO offering to pay you 3, 4 or 5 cents/line less for the same work you do at another!
It probably means you're not Indian and won't work for 2 cents a line.

Not that I don't want to give you the company I work for...sm
It is Alphamed, but I wouldn't recommend it to you because I have hardly any work right now so I know they aren't hiring. If you did work there you would go broke if you didn't have a husband to back up your pay.

Why should this MT give away her hard work? She should go after what is rightfully hers.

GIVE IT A REST: Liberals work every
stop with the moronic stereotypes!
The only ones LIVING OFF THE TAX-PAYERS are the pariah's in Congress and in the GRAYHOUSE.
Spend a little more time doing your homework and a little less listening the babysitters on the right: LIMBAUGH, hannity, et AL ad nauseam
Give her the same amount of work on the days
near the end of the pay period that she seems to be doing the rest of the days. I worked for a friend's niece, and if she did not think you were going to get the work done, she would yank it from you even if you were frantically trying to get it done. She has a TAT to meet, and good accounts are hard to come by.
Give her less and less work. When she complains, tell her those adhering to TAT are getting the

Ask them to give you the ability to choose your work from the queue SM
They may refuse; but assuming you do have to sign off (I don't remember any more), you can explain that it takes too long. All they can do is refuse. Another--big--benefit is that you can choose several jobs in a row for a dictator or specialty you're having trouble with and learn in a day what can take months to learn coming through in dribbles.
it's spelled right. Exo means outside and you know what phrenic means. nm

I would never voluntarily give them "my" normals, my work product. SM
The nerve of these people. 
No set hours, no min/max amount of work, and give us newbies a chance.

Can you give us a hint you work for? I'm sick of cherry pickers too
You just know they are giving you all the crap they dont want.

My husband just signed up for group life insurance with work which will give him 10x his salary if
he dies which will leave the kids and I with almost a million bucks if he dies. Of course I would much rather have him here more than anything. He had just 150,000 in insurance but for some reason just opted for this group thingie. When talking last night I asked him if he died if I could marry again and this man got so upset with me I thought he was going to cry! He told me absolutely, positively NOT that I could not remarry ( am 31!). He is 35. LOL
Poor guy. Leaving me all this money and I supose the thought of me sharing his wealth with someone else makes him sick!!
I told him he could go ahead and marry if I should happen to die. I want my kiddies to have a great mom and person who loves them very much. Wouldn't you agree?
How do you feel about your spouse or partner remarrying if you or he dies??
crap
I agree.
Why do the MTSOs not DARE to tell the crappy dictators that their dictations are crap? Some doctors do not maintain their equipment functioning properly, then the sound quality is aweful.
MTSOs are afraid to lose the client if they complain about this.
And the MTs have to suffer through this all.

you don't put your family at risk by taking in strangers. That's just plain foolish. There were over 3300 registered sex offenders in NO. Where are they now. In your community? Perhaps in your house? Good luck.
oh our lovely government does give illegals medicaid, foodstamps, and housing so in term we give tha
i have been through some rough times lately and had to apply for some help. there are signs, big signs, all over our offices saying "YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE LEGAL TO GET HELP". so we and our government do give them our benefits whether they are legal here or not. now that is messed up. i am helping to support them so they can take away my jobs and i can't even support my kids and yes i get benefits, wow $75 a month in food stamps which lasts not even a week in a household of 6. don't get me wrong, i am thankful for any help at the moment, but i get penalized for trying to work my tail off and still can't survive.
there was recently an article in our local newspaper where one of our local school districts tried to charge $1000 a year for each illegal student enrolled. it was bulked and the illegals got a lawyer to sue for discrimination. the school district merely stated that they had to HIRE extra teachers that could speak the foreign language just to teach these children and were trying to offset some of the expenses. ridicilous!! so again our taxpayers money is paying to educate illegals as well.
Yes, that me.....have way to much crap happening....

THANK YOU!! As QA I run into the same crap. Like they do not care...
The whole verbatum thing..they go a LITTLE far. There is still room to make it correct.
yes my spelling has gone to crap sorry
so much for proof reading.. I am sure to be bashed for that
What a load of crap!!!!....nm

crap money
New transcriptionists are not given the opportunities that are available to experienced transcriptionists. Even though it is crap money it is the only way we can get our foot in the door to gain the experience we need to even be considered for higher paying positions. I, personally suffer with low pain just to gain EXPERIENCE.
offshore crap

HOLY CRAP!!!! Here's what I'd do:
1. Get a hotel room.
2. CALL ANIMAL CONTROL!!!!
Crap. Try actually reading what she said.
I agree with her. I was not a good, fast, MT but I am a killer at research and I can find stuff it seems like nobody else can. I share it with the MT's I proof and my QA peers in the company and everybody benefits.
It's not a question of being better than, worse than or whatever. People are reading stuff into posts that isn't there, IMO.
NOW THAT IS HORSE CRAP
I am sorry, as long as I have done this and am in the business, I seriously doubt with 99% accuracy that someone can do 1200 lines or even 600 without some serious help from "giving" lines. Do not let anyone fool you out there that is just starting out or even have been around awhile. Unless you see proof on how it is done, see it with your own eyes, try it out yourself, do not believe the outrageous. There is also a way I have seen MT's make lots of lines that one cannot see unless they are being QA'd, it is called "padding' and yes I am sure someone then can do 1200 lines an hour, but how much is actually dictation. Padding is a good way to get fired from a company if caught.
Sick of QA crap
At this company I work at, I get so sick and tired of QA. I am sure that there are a lot of wonderful QA people out there and I commend you. But it seems like where I work at, the QA do not follow all the same rules and change what they want with your reports. I get feedback about once a month and I was just looking at my feedback and I am so irritated. They changed things on my report that if you look in the account specifics it is the total opposite. I am doing it right and they are changing it wrong but b/c they make a mark on my report it looks like I am the one at fault. Like we are supposed to place all numbers in arabic form and dates also, but QA went and changed on my report numbers 1-10 to written form and also spelled out the dates and it specifically states not to in specifics. Or like with fractions, it is supposed to be 18-1/2 (a dash in there) but QA changed to 18 1/2 (no dash). And they also change little nitpicky things, for ex. how they think headers should be, they change words around, add commas in stupid places. And what one QA person will mark as wrong, another QA will mark as right. Where do they get these people? I emailed the supervisor for clarification, but I have done this times before and nothing has changed. I really like this company other than the QA. The QA just act like they have all this power and they can change what they want to. It is total bull.
Try Crap Cleaner
Google for it and download (should be from Hippo). Run it - let it analyze and run cleaner. Then go to "tools" and "fix issues." After that reboot your computer and then try to get the gid file again. Hopefully this will clean out anything you've got blocking it.
I think that crap is inflated!!!!
I don't see an MT making that much unless they are getting about 9-12 cents a line and then I believe it. I make 6 cpl and have been since I started 3 years ago. That same Yahoo thing tells me my husband who is a plumber should be making $60,000, but that dosen't happen.... not with this economy anyway!!!
Simple, I'm fed up with all the crap and I'm not going to allow it to start up again.
Here's the deal...if you're unhappy at MQ because you're not getting what you want, find another job and quit. If you think MQ is oh so wonderful, fabulous, but keep in mind that other people don't agree with you and can post their opinions. If your main beef is to just come here and whine about it, get lost because it's tiresome. Administrator
Download Crap Cleaner (sm)
Google for it. I will clean out all your cache, even the hidden stuff.
Where is this job? On this planet of MT? Holy crap!
as Frank Barone would say.
I just send the crap to QA and let them deal with it!
I suppose they get paid more to clean up garbage.
Sorry, I don't eat greasy crap like that. Enjoy yours though

Though I must say the thought of it scares the crap out of me. sm
Both parents are mid-60s now and for the most part quite healthy, though mom has had Parkinson's for a few years, which is thankfully very slow in its progression thus far. My biggest fear is that she progresses to mental decompensation from it.
I think my brother would shoulder as much responsbility as he could along with me for our parents. I'm already thinking about my next house being larger than we need just in case we have to accommodate one or both of our parents later. Neither my bro nor I live particularly close to our parents, either.
It's a daunting thought from all angles.
i googled and a bunch of crap came up

Looks like you all ARE taking those crap jobs!
I don't contribute crap around here, so I'm told...
My ungrateful, hateful 11-year-old (at the time) son told me that if I would get off my butt and get a job we'd have something (because I refused to buy him some game, or something). I sat him down and showed him my check stubs compared to his dad's, which are substantially more income for this family.
We MTs must be the most unappreciated workers in the world! Especially if we work at home, it's just not seen as 'serious' work! Not only do I get comments from my child, but my family thinks 'since I don't work' MY schedule is THEIR schedule...."give it to her, she can go do it."
I'm so disgusted.
Op notes bore the crap out of me.
How dumb are YOU? I was referring to people saying crap like
"things happen," which is a HUGE COP-OUT.
YOU ARE WELCOME - after that crap I quit and went back to school

Think OSI test dumped crap on computer
This is just a warning to be careful. I took a test for OSi last week and I think the audio files dumped a lot of crap on my computer, so be careful. When I double-clicked to open the file I got a popup that tried to dump an ad tracker cookie on my computer, then my desktop froze up. I rebooted. I did this about 3 times and finally just opened Real Player and then opened the file. I found a bunch of crap on my computer afterwards that I cleaned up. I can't say 100% this is what did it but I would suggest being careful and running AntiVirus/Adware programs afterward. I finally deleted all emails from them because one had 3 attached files that had nothing to do with the content as nothing was being sent to me and I once had my hard drive completely wiped clean by a virus sent this way when I naively opened the file.
