    There was a response posted on this site--sm
    last week saying the resume posting site was being overhauled and it would be back up soon. Guess it is not done yet.
    Whoever posted the link for the Geek site...THANK YOU

      You don't know how hard it is to shop for my husband!  I've never seen that site before, but I found at least THREE things I could buy him for Christmas!  It's a miracle.

    THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!


             


    I looked up their web site and posted under complaints
    Whether they do anything or not is another thing, but just MAYBE if they get enough complaints, they might. I suggested that when they go out to check out a facility they actually LISTEN to some of the dictation these foreigners are putting out. I told them I had many years of experience but it was becoming almost impossible for me to do my job because of them. I decided it would not hurt and like I said, just MAYBE somebody will start taking notice.
    Someone posted this site a while ago for test files. sm

    Sample test files to download from a bunch of different specalities.  No time limits.

    Moderator, how do I view my resume I place on your job site. I dont see any new resumes posted when

    I look on there and I did mine yesterday. Where can I see it. I did not come up with the list of resumes that seems to end in August.


    You are going to be banned
    uh oh - you said a bad bad word and now ADMINISTRATION WILL BAN YOU!
    What?? What was I banned from?

    X


    If that is true they should be banned
    from posting on this board in particular and the internet in general !!!!
    THAT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT WHY WE WANT YOU BANNED
    That is the exact point.  We want to be able to express our feelings without having you call us losers, tell us to comb our hair once in a while, tell us to go on a diet.  Your are totally unprofessional and out of line THAT is why we want you banned. 
    Sorry about your luck. He was banned!!!
    lol.
    They have been banned from posting here as well

    as at many other MT sites as well.  Their software costs around $400, but you don't actually buy the software from them, but a company that they say you have to buy it from.  Many, many times the software has not worked and TA said it isn't their problem cause you didn't buy it from them and the software company will not refund $$.   There are more than 30 complaints against them on file with the BB.  In the many years that they have been suckering people I have only heard one person who ever got real work for which she got paid.


    The owners have moved to a different state at least once.  They probably moved to FL because of no state tax.  They claim to be upstanding religious people and they should be shamed of themselves.


    It is common knowledge that they are a scam and it has been posted here as well as other boards for years.   If you Google them I'm sure you'll find all kinds of garbage about them.   They were even listed in one non-MT magazine to avoid them.


    I don't know why they aren't in jail. 


    And to think....I actually felt bad when they banned me...
    I just used a different email, but then I was very careful and didn't post a lot of things I wanted to say for fear of being banned again. ->sap<-
    so you think polite should be banned as well? NM

    I'm not allowed to say that name on this board or I'll be banned..sorry..
    If you'd care to e-mail me, I'll share, but I've been told not to say that name on this board or I'll be banned.
    I was banned from other board for posting diff.

    Thanks for your help.
    You can be banned for posting these type of questions on this board. At least that is....
    what they told me.  Unless they are selective on style/word/abbreviation questions being asked here.  Hmmm.  I wonder.
    Tylenol words best for me. Glade products should be banned, the worst.
    Tylenol words the best for me, have to take LOTS to ward off headaches that become 17 on a 1-10 scale.

    Glade Products are the worst for me. They are to terrible and ought to be outlawed. I cannot be around them AT ALL and have to leave if they are used anywhere, in churches, homes, etc. Apparently some people are not at all sensitive to them, but they ought to know that other people are very horrendously affected. It is all chemical, either you are sensitive or you aren't, and the people who are not just simply are not. But the people who are suffer real pain and so I think no one should use them. Why would you want to expose the people who are sensitive? Just my opinion.
    Several companies still train on site. In fact, we are piloting an on-site training sm
    program, where everyone would come in to the Keystrokes office to train for 1 or 2 weeks. We have a large training room and feel that this may be a way to cover all aspects of an account, be right there to answer questions as they come up and have one-on-one contact.

    It will be optional at this point and may not be more effective as remote training, but some people have expressed that they miss the training that you get when you start at a hospital.

    We are trying to bridge that gap between working in-house somewhere and working at home.

    It may seem out-dated in many ways, but sometimes going back to basics is a good step to take!
    I have noticed sometimes I will try to get into a web site and that site will freeze up and I dont

    know if I have too many screens opened up and minimized or what. I tried to open a website sent by email and froze up the email screen. Not sure what I am doing.


    I subscribe to another web site and within the boards on this site they have

    Would anybody be interested if adminstrators would allow us to have this type of board or even put it on the main board.  Like on this other board they tell you to go to a certain web site for a coupon for 20% off Barnes and Noble or when Target has reduced prices on seasonal things.  Anybody got ideas or bargains they would like to share to save money?   We could call it the MT Stars penny-pinchers board.


    thank you - please do keep me posted. - sm
    I was supposed to be there next week.
    yes - keep us posted
    I am sick to death of these companies. My credit card company called me Friday night at 9:45 P.M. to ask where my payment was, which I made last week and it was not late!!!! I was so mad and I knew the call was being monitored "for better customer service" that I screamed "listen you job stealing m**f**, do you have any idea what time it is, and if you knew your job, you would see that I am not late with my payment and it was RECEIVED last week." I was sooooo mad I couldn't believe I had lost it like that. I was screaming all kinds of profanities.

    Ooooh that felt good getting that off my chest. Now if a big hurricane or tsunami would hit their towns I would be even happier. I have never been racist a day in my life, but I realize that I am racist against countries taking our jobs.
    Where was that posted?
    Can you direct me to that?
    that was probably LL who posted.

    I think that is the same guy that posted
    before about the $25/audio hour and got actual bids for $10 and $20/audio hour. He/she sounds like a scammer
    I got in right after I posted here, but before that

    This was NOT posted by myself.
    Hello PJ, nice to meet another, but how about we find a way to set ourselves apart. I am an MT and an Editor for multple accounts and frequent the boards here on MT Stars, come visit me on the Holiday/Recipe board if you like.
    You might as well have posted
    What is this? What can we do with this. Sorry, I'm not a technical person. How can we use this?
    I posted below on this...
    This lady I referred to before who wrote the doctor, he was actually more impressed with her at trying to learn a profession and showing that she cared than he was with the MTSO. He got mad at the MTSO for firing this lady and thought she should have been given a chance. He was actually really upset by this. I just think maybe a doctor should know how much their demands can affect a family...especially now that I am out of a job!! As far as the MTSO and everyone else seeing this and having a long memory, do you really think I would ever be able to work for that company again? She fired me over e-mail and told me not to contact her and then stayed logged off of her IM, so she is basically "hiding." Now that should stick in everyone's minds for a long time, I would think. It does really hurt to be an MT for so many years and have a mishap with a TAT a time or two, be told about it, apologize and then be given more work for a week while the MTSO trains someone else and THEN get fired!! I thought there was some kindness in the world, but I guess not when it comes to business. That is such a shame.
    I saw that you posted....
    a little lower that he was fine, but now he's having problems again.  I really do think it's some sort of allergic reaction, and he went and exposed himself yet again.  What is he eating or drinking???  Only the two of you can decide how serious this is, but if it IS serious, then get him some medical help--and to hell with the cost!
    Well, I think this is probably a first for me to see posted
    I have mixed feelings about what to say because I don't know what kind of felony it was (and I'm not asking), but I would think that would be a huge factor in getting any kind of job in the medical business. Usually it takes 20 years for things like that to roll off a reference check. I'm torn between telling you not to disclose it and roll the dice of it not being found or continue disclosing it and not being able to find a job. (I know that statement will generate some livid responses!) In general a felony is enough to keep you off most employer's payroll and I imagine it would be next to impossible for jobs related to the medical industry. Maybe try some local clinics where you can explain face to face your situation.
    Saw them AFTER I posted!
    Again, sheesh, sorry to be a bother - I thought this board was for support.  If you don't want to answer, you don't have to!  People talking about what they are fixing for dinner are not attacked!  I'm trying to save my house and feed my children.  I logged in after a long absence, ran a search, got 0 (again have no idea why), posted my message, and yes, THEN related messages popped up!  I only come here now and again and probably did something wrong but jeepers!   That's ("how can you say that?!") how I can say that.  Please think twice before basically accusing someone of lying! Thank you for a lovely end to a lousy day with only $26.00 earned due to no work at my job. 
    I don't know why I posted that there!

    Thanks again!!! It's also posted above!!...sm
    Since I never win anything, this truly made my day - thank you MT Stars again and again for this huge recognition this year!!!!  Your support makes us happy!! 
    I know this has been posted before, but...
    I just got a job in which I will need macros in word. Since it is something I have not needed before now, I never really paid attention to the posts on it. Can anyone explain this to me? Thank you!
    done, but please keep us posted (sm)
    I really got hooked on American Idol when it was on. If they ever put clips up we could listen to, it would be fun to hear. Maybe you could keep us posted on the process. Did this just start recently? Much more fun that MT, isn't it! Sing one "for the girls"!
    Just posted on this...
    I make over $20.00 per hour on VR, even with the low pay because I can do more than straight. The VR is different with the platform- just like working for 1 company as opposed to another. Where 1 does not like, another loves this form of doing their work- what system are you on? Mine lots of time takes very little editing really.
    I know - I just posted above sm

    about some other discrepancies - like the templates from DQS I put in only register two or three Keystrokes but it doesn't count the characters at all.  The templates I have in IT shoot the count up, but then I haven't determined what happens when you remove part of it.  It must keep the original count of the template?  


    Yes, that was exactly what was posted above you and below
    NM
    Then everyone who posted here who said (sm)
    they transcribed a report knowingly on a family member either likes to not follow rules, doesn't want to toss the dictation back into the cue for loss of lines, or is just plain ole NOOSEY BODIES.
    Well after I posted this...
    it brought up the list of related posts and they were all so similar to my situation! and good advice too. I feel better. I notice though, the only people who never respond are the pickers themselves.
    That was me that posted about...
    the online removal and no, you don't have to have their service. It's an entirely one-time thing. McCaffee is the one I used. Do a search on Google for McCaffee online virus removal. I haven't seen it on my bill yet, but it was between $60 and $90. Allow at least an hour's time to complete the removal.
    There was a job ad just posted by
    a Christian-based MTSO.  Of all the MTSOs, I'm sure they would understand your dilemma.  Give 'em try, but be upfront and honest about your belief system.
    I posted previously on this...
    Unfortunately, probably for every good QA person, there are  maybe twice as many who are sadistic against other women.  Also, sometimes, in my opinion, they try way too hard to impress their bosses, or whoever they are trying to impress, than to really to help and educate MTs.  If that were not the case, you would not have all the major inconsistency, where one day they want it 'this way' and the next QA on the next day wants it 'that way' haha.  Ever had that happen?  Then when you question, you are treated worse than any man would treat you...

    If a company hires an MT who is so terribly bad and lacking in skills, that is quite sadistic to then turn around and whine and complain of how bad they all are.  Perhaps QA should be involved in the hiring process as well. 

    Sounds like martyr syndrome a little bit, too, like 'we all just have it so bad from you horrible, awful MTs, we have to fix all your nasty work.'  

    Right, it is all about the QA and the supervisors, right?  Not at all about the MT who is expected to produce twice as much, for 1/2 the pay, is listening to the dictator form scratch, not reading along like QA does, where, yeah, it is easy to catch a word or meaning when most of the hard work is already done from an MT who was probably struggling to even get that much intelligible information from someone chewing or sneezing, coughing, or when a child is screaming in the background. 

    If anyone really wanted to 'fix' the problem, there would be a job created to help educate MTs having consistent problems (not just, gee, today we do not like the way you punctuated, so you are a terrible MT).  Hiring also should be better controlled. 

    One wonders, are you that critical to the overseas MTs?  Hardly...their work is probably 50% worse than any of our worst MTs, yet look how they are thirving...and your bosses are even wooing them. 

    Help MTs, stop crucifying them for errors that are not causing harm to patients, and remember we are struggling against time, as well.  Only, WE are the reason YOU have jobs. 
    I see why you posted Anon
    That's nice that you are prejudice.  I have three children who are mixed.  They are wonderful children.  I know this has nothing to do with your post about the little girl, but your admittance of being prejudice really offends me.
    I only posted the one question
    I did not LIE about anything.  The only question that I asked was regarding the test question that I have been jumped on about.  There is another poster who asked about questions on her practice tapes. 
    Are you the one who posted on the Ask the Dr board?

    I go to "The Stop Smoking Center" for online support.  I quit for eight years, but this past 13 months have been so crazy that I relapsed exactly one year ago.  I've been peeved at DH and stressed over a lot of stuff, so I lit up one night while out with a friend.  I quit again for three months using Zyban, but relapsed yet again after stopping that.  I do OK during the day with not smoking, but DH smokes outside at home so it's tough to stay quit being around him.  I just keep making excuses to not quit.  That means I'm just not ready yet.  People handle their emotions and stress fine without smoking.  I handled everything fine for eight years without smoking, and those eight years were pretty hairy, too..  For me, it's a question of replacing my bad emotional crutch with a good one.  (Exercise!)


    Good for you for making the decision!  You can do it!  Google the support board I told you about, and I'll probably be around here if you want to buddy up or anything.


    Oh, and I notice you have posted ONCE as JK???...
