I tested the beta version

I enjoy using the software. I work in InScribe over half the day and have tons of shortcuts in there. Until now, I could not use those shortcuts in other programs. I imported the InScribe shortcut file to Ditto and now I use those shortcuts in WordPerfect and Word. The shortcuts work in e-mail, also. The pop-ups are not annoying - they go away after a few seconds if you do not respond to them. You can do functions with it, also. I have not tried whole blocks of text. For me, it's worth the price. I think you can download and try it before purchase.

The RMT is just in beta now
and is meaningless, in any case. Very few employers care whether MTs have a CMT or RMT or whatever. Even fewer even know what a CMT is, and it's a sure thing no one's heard of RMT. The whole certification thing is simply a power grab by AAMT. Their goal is to sponsor legislation in every state that will force every MT to be certified to be employed. Since the AAMT is the only organization offering "certification", guess who will benefit from the whopping fees they will charge to take the test?
re: beta
Could someone who is computer literate please explain this "beta" stuff to me and what it means? Thanks !
what is this beta-thing...
RMT Beta Exam
How many of you are taking the beta exam for the RMT credential? Are you planning to take the final version after beta testing, or will you not take it at all? I'm curious. I received email notice that they have openings until June 1st. Should I bother? I know that many companies ask whether or not we are certified, but do you think it will come to their asking if we are an RMT also? Any and all opinions welcome. Thanks!
This is why I uploaded the 4.15 version. It's a previous version

I work as a beta tester and they pay me to do it.

I don't believe anyone would pay the 90-somethng bucks to do a beta SM
test which is practically useless.
Well I too have been selected for the beta test-sm
I am absolutely thrilled about this test and once I have 2 years acute care experience I will write the CMT as well. To me it is very well worth the $95 US to write the test, even the beta test. This is something that I would like to achieve.
No, it is not for everyone. No, not everyone wants to spend $$ to take a test. We all have different ideas of what is right for us. For me I want to have those letters behind my name. In a couple of years I would like to trade them in for the CMT.
I know that there are many here who dislike AAMT and are stongly opposed to many of the things that they are doing but I have got to tell you I have gained so much by being a member of AAMT and especially the Online Chapter of AAMT.
If you don't like the fact that there is offshoring going on well that is too bad...it is here and it is probably here to stay. What we can do is offer credentially, such as the RMT, for those in other countries as well so that the can be required to meet a certain level of education and training. I know I gonna get yelled at here for this one, but this is my opinion.
Beta test? Can you elaborate on this a little bit more?

I think it's nuts that it's still in beta test but we still would have to PAY to take it. sm
If I'm helping YOU develop your product, I should not be paying! When game developers need people to beta test their games....the game company PAYS THE TESTER! AAMT is absolutely out of their minds.
Beta testers needed for MPLite
The beta testing for MPLite has been going well. Phase 3 of the beta testing will begin on Wed or Thurs of this week.
We are soliciting 2 or 3 additional volunteers for this final phase of beta testing, and anticipate this phase to last no longer than a week. Volunteers should be experienced working transcriptionists, but not so busy that they don't have time to read the help file, and set things up in MPLite. We need the testers to actually work in the program, and not just look at it.
Testers will receive MPLite free of charge, and all subsequent releases of MPLite free of charge. If you have the interest and the time to assist us, please send an email to support@mpword.com
Most likely, MPLite will be a the most popular program we have ever produced. For a preview of it, see our website:
http://www.mpword.com/7mplite.htm
Best wishes,
Vann Joe
Beta is usually a program that is in the development stage
where lots of people use the program to test it out to help make it better and fix all the bugs before the final release.
Works is a dumbed down version of Word and Excel. You get the full version of Word in the Suite.
The Works Suite is a cheaper way of getting a full version of Word if you don't want or need the other applications in Office.
Anyone else get an email from aamt about REGISTERED MT beta test?
Seems pretty stupid to me.
U love beta fish? Aren't those the ones that kill
I remember my exhusband always had Japanese beta fish when we were married. As I recall, if my memory serves me well, these specific male fish impregnate the female fish and then when she has the babies, the beta (male) squeezes all life out of the mom and kills her after she has the babies. Just the idea of this made me hate this type of fish 4ever.
Just one person's opinion though! No flaming please! *LOL*
Henry's such a cute name, and I love beta fish

Has anyone ever tested for or
Just wondering because I believe that my skills and equipment meet their requirements, but never heard back after sending my resume.
I know that the MTSOs are often bombarded with resumes, but it would've been nice to be able to test for them.
tested it
I tested your theory and that isn't the problem. I just wonder if I hit an "F" key or what is causing it. It does it about every 10 seconds! Thanks for the thought though!
Have you tested lately? I never
dreamed how indepth this has gotten. Why are we expected to know as much as a doctor or nurse? It is not like you can take it on yourself to change anything. The very most you can do is flag it. I miss the days when I could just track one of these guys down and ask them. Now, assuming you are inhouse, it is like you are not allowed to do more than nod hello.
I tested too
I tested three weeks ago and have heard nothing.

I'm tested to death, too
If you create a folder on your desktop called "Sound Files" - then when you are downloading an mp3 file or whatever - right click and do "save to target" - then browse your desktop until you see sound files folder and make sure that is in the box. Then, the files will download to that folder. Then, when you double click on Express Scribe, up on the top you will see "Load" - click on this and then browse for your sound files folder. Highlight those you want to download into express scribe and then down at the bottom, hit ok or load (can't remember which it is). They will then be loaded into express scribe, ready to go.
Was she tested for thyroid? sm
Pretty common in cats and I believe that's one of the symptoms. Good luck.
My child has been tested....sm
By 3 different psychiatrists and psychologists who are children specialists. She does well without medication when she has tasks broken down into small increments and with redirection when she gets off track. I'm not going to medicate her with anything when she is fine when given these helpful guidelines, and her doctors are conservative enough to agree with me and don't hand out pills quickly. If she displayed ADD/ADHD symptoms to the severity that she couldn't function in life without parameters that work it would be a different story.
She is physically active with playing sports (i.e. soccer and basketball depending on the season or doing dance when it's off season for both) and we take her to the playground often. As far as diet goes, we limit her sugar intake as she is more hyper when she is exposed to sugars and even she recognizes that if she has a lot of sugar she gets more hyper.
Too bad the QA's are tested before they're -

My editors ARE TESTED
The editors for my company are tested and they are trained at 100% before they are turned "LOOSE". They also have 3% of their work audited.
I'm gonna say no. I tested by...
running adaware, superantispyware and spybot, cleaned everything out and then came only on this site. Clicked around for a while, posted a couple times and ran my scans again. Nothing came up, so I'm going to say no I guess. I always have Spyware of some sort when I run my scans, but I visit so many sites a day I have no idea where they come from.
I just don't understand it. I tested
the machine from 3 different phones and didn't have a problem. Once I punched the ID# in, the beeping stopped for me. I'm very confused as to why my doc had problems.
I had the older model with the tapes and it worked great until the transfer box died. I couldn't find just the box, since this machine is no longer made.
I think my doc is a thing of the past. I haven't heard from him since the test. What kills me is that I was with him for 14 years. I don't know this for sure but he has not called me or dropped off any tapes. He passes my house on his way home so he used to drop the tapes off when there was a problem.. His dictation is due today and I don't have any to do.
you are correct, i only tested on 4..nm

I don't know anything about transolutions, interviewed, tested, and
offered position with Cymed. The pay is average, lots of ESL, offered 0.5 cpl more if I do more than 1800 lines a day, which I do occasionally, but not often enough that I would have a bunch of extra $$ each pay period. The person I interviewed with was an HR person and hadn't the first clue about transcription, so her answers weren't very good to questions. I did specifically ask if the offshore and she reluctantly said they do. I know they offshore to the Phillipines and probably India, and they are support of the move to offshore to Trinidad. I was offered 8 cpl and have 20 years' acute care experience. I was told there were lots or opportunities to earn big $$ in bonus money, but I'm not looking to be chained to my chair another 4 hours a day. My main decision for declining the position was the offshoring.
I recently tested for Mxsecure
I had to do 5 dictations. They were the toughest I have ever done.
Question for txmt. I have tested
for Transtech Medical. They sound like a great place to work IMO. Do you mind if I ask you several questions about them, such as what platform they work on (I am going to use their computer), what the sound quality is like, how is the pay, etc? TIA. If you would like, I can leave my email for you:) Thanks!!
Have you tested at all? With your experience, I would think MTSO would at least look...
could be you are not scoring well on tests, or there might be some hesitation with thinking you will send the stuff on to Canada and then outsource it (believe it or not). But your experience sounds great and there should be no reason to take a refresher. IMHO
I meant to say 'AREN'T tested' ! - nm

Thanks. I have already sent out like 11 resumes and tested with three of the places. I have only he
the woman told me she had just hired and to check back in 6 months. I have also e-mailed five other companies to see if they were hiring. I assume since I have heard nothing back from them they are not. Thankfully the one I heard from was not a defnite no but I can't wait 6 months for a job either. With times as they are I could use some extra income right now. I guess I will keep looking and hope someone calls me soon.
I tested for a National and also failed. sm
I thought I did well. I transcribed according to the BOS book, but most of my errors were charged because of it. It looks like if I didn't use the BOS book method, I probably would have passed. Who knows? Just don't give up. I took a test with another company and am now working.
If it's a retail version you can. If it's an OEM version, you can't.

I was tested for Lyme disease when I first started with everything..thanks anyway. :( nm

to VE - NINE HOSPITALS have never drug tested you - they must be out in left field!
I'm typing this fast - so forgive ME for the typos!!
I just left a hospital in Ohio that not only had you do a drug screen, BUT A BREATHALYZER TEST before hiring. They did one ON EVERYONE!!! Yes, they have had people fail the breathalyzer!
I worked in a small ridiculously podunk town hospital in Illinois that insisted I have a drug test before working there.
I have been in major medical centers where it was insisted I have a background check, drug screen, and physical.
I have had background checks done on me for quite a few more hospitals. I have worked at home and had a background check on me, because after all I do have the company's computer and equipment and I did have access to SSN#, and yes, for your information, there was a Transcriptionist that I KNOW OF arrested two years ago for identity theft and she did obtain the information from medical records. I know transcriptionists that never give equipment back to the companies and resell them - guess what - they have gotten arrested. Had the companies run a background check they would never have hired the transcriptionists.
I have worked at catholic hospitals AND THEY EVEN GIVE THE NUNS A DRUG TEST!
Why OH why do people feel that this is a violation of THEIR rights. I would hope to God that if you were ever in a hospital that your identity information stays guarded, no matter where it is outsourced to.
Well, it seems the norm to me! I've tested with at least 4 co's in the past few years and
the tests were not dictations that I do on an everyday basis. I know they pick and choose carefully what they will test you on because there are always kinks in there where the doc either stumbles, mumbles, or you know you would have to be a genius to figure out what they are saying.
Someone posted about a new anti-spyware program they had tested against several others - sm
and found it was better (or found more problems) than their existing programs. My computer has been a bit weird/very slow the last day or two, ran my SpySweeper (no problems) but I thought I would try this other one. However I cannot find the post. Can you either post it again or email me? Thanks.
I agree with two of these. Worked forone and tested forand
another. Got burned on one of them and it was my first national. I then got into another you did not mention JLG. I wouldn't go there either.
Been with my company now for five years and outside of no benefits and being an IC it was okay till recently when things started to change. Not happy at this time and hoping things get back to normal for me. I am hurting because I had a huge problem with Comcast cable internet and I lost a lot of work time. Poor paycheck this time too. Had them out three times and they finally fixed it so far.
Good luck to everyone looking. I feel badly for the MQ transcriptionists. It will be hard to find any place with all the competition.
I tested at a local hospital on the East Coast...
The pay was $14.82 per hour to start. They were paying medical unit secretaries $14.60. Also the job was per diem, needless to say I didn't take it.
Mine was tested at 148 in school. After they found out & leaked it -- (s/m)
-- to my parents, it kinda messed up my life. Was yanked out of classes with all my friends, where I was comfortable, and put into "Gifted" classes with a bunch of older kids I didn't know, & who resented my being there. Unfortunately, high IQ doesn't necessarily mean "mature"! I was kind of a nervous, skittish kid, and even if I could already read by the time I got to school, there were other simple things I hadn't yet mastered. I went from loving school to detesting it, and spent too much time drawing & daydreaming in class. So, when I struggled in those areas I was weak at, I got labelled as an "under-achiever", which didn't exactly thrill my parents. That label, combined with my dislike of these new classes (and this was back in the 50s and 60s, when they didn't know how to teach, anyway!) I started living up to that new label. Soon I was at the other end of the scale, getting shuttled into lots and lots of study halls because I was failing as many as 3 classes per semester in highschool. I graduated by the skin of my teeth, with no goals whatsoever. My parents just assumed I would somehow go to a 4-year college. And I just assumed I wouldn't! Fortunately my strong points were English and typing, so at least I was employable. But I didn't really have the social skills needed for most secretarial and receptionist jobs, and didn't have the degrees necessary to get any better jobs. After bouncing from job to job (some lasting only 2 months, some as little as 2 days), I finally just happened to STUMBLE ONTO medical transcription. It was a good fit, but even though I've now been doing it for a long, long time, to this day my friends and family wonder when I'm going to get a "real" job. I just smile and tell them that will most likely be when hell freezes over.
I've also tested at a hospital. I only had to type one report and
the rest was the interview and a small written test on abbreviations and proofreading test for correct punctuation etc. I certainly was not asked to come in and sit and do 6 reports. Overkill in my opinion and totally turned me off to this company.
Anytime I've tested, it's always been the same test on mttest.com, or careerstep. See if you c
s
They were going pay me an hourly rate, training pay. It doesn't matter, I just tested for two ot
and I did pretty well. I should get a couple of offers in the next couple of days, hopefully -- I don't want to be overly confident because if I learned anything out of all this it is don't count your chickens before they hatch and don't put all your eggs in one basket.
