Sounds like you're in the clear!
Do your own homework.
Renting and leasing are NOT good options. The other poster is right. You pay more for something you don't even own.
Where are YOU doing your homework?
If you want to get ahead financially, check out this site for your homework:
www.Suzeorman.com
also Money Matters on MSN
I was spinning my wheels financially for years before I started taking advice from people who know what they're talking about. I'm not debt-free, own a brand new home and my cars are both owned free and clear.
Do your homework.
http://www.stanford.edu/dept/legal/powerpoint/HIPAA-BRIEF-SUMMARY.doc
http://www.healthprivacy.org/usr_doc/RegSummary2002.pdf
These are just a couple of summaries; there are thousands. The actual document is big & difficult to read, but eventually, if you plan to lead a movement using it as your primary support, you will have to.
You have to speak the speak or you will look ridiculous and make whatever movement you are trying to start (& everyone in it, & every MT by association) look equally ridiculous. For starters, you have to know how to spell 'HIPAA' and what it stands for.
Unless you can come up with some proof that it is illegal to offshore American work per se, HIPAA is the only leg you have to stand on, & that is assuming you can also prove there are absolutely no privacy laws in any country but the US where transcription is taking place. Righteous indignation does not a class action make.
Math homework
To the best of my recollection...24 would be the LCD, so something like this?
2/3 - 1/8 = B
16/24 - 3/24 = B
13/24 = B
please do your homework before getting in a tizzy. sm
Research EMR. It is of no threat to us.
Totally off topic. Math homework help..please
Son is out of school due to chickenpox and teachers are sending home the homework w/o samples. They learned a new thing in math and it's been a LONG time since I did this stuff. The sample in the book is really no help. Is there a website I can visit too?
He needs to write out the equation and then solve the problem. How would this be written out. There are 25 more questions like this and I'm lost. After he gets the answer he needs to put it in the equation and see if is the correct answer.
B + 1/8 = 2/3.
THanks for any help.
Endiqua, do your homework about the company's past
they have changed names, changed locations, and also joined up with a company that was sued for "falsifying line counts" to their transcriptionists. If you think I'm lying about this, you're wrong. I worked for them in their office and I know how their system works.
NumbersUSA has done their homework on this issue. If you have questions, ask them. They will answer
tell you exactly how their petition is bound legally. NumbersUSA has made HUGE differences in curtailing illegal immigration. They are really a great group of people. 
You charge your kids to proof read their homework.

can we clear this up once and for all?
 What does pulling number XX mean ? I noticed now it also says "click on the reply by email link" whereas before it said "click on the blue link" which had me confused also. There were quite a few blue words but no blue link except back to Main Board.
Just to be clear
I have been using NCMT as my screen name on this site for quite some time. I don't know who the other NCMT is that made the post above, but it wasn't me. I personally do not care for Kikki and her negative outlook on everything.
Since it is very clear--sm
That the beloved Ms. Kikki is back and really trying to cause havoc again on this board with her rude comments to everyone, I can only suggest that we do not take her bait and give her fuel for fire. She seems to have it is for a select few on this board and also seems to love to attack what people eat. Maybe if we do not acknowledge her rude comments, she will get tired of it and go away again. Either that, or we all stop posting anything for a day or two and she will have nothing to make rude nasty comments on. Just a thought. If we stick together, maybe we can get her to leave. 
yes there are some that don't even try to be clear
and you can get really fed up sometimes. On the other hand, there are plenty of native speaker doctors who make me mad too! Some of the ESLs are really good. Better a good ESL doc than an American mumbler
Also, was it not clear that...
the site was resold again to someone else? This is old news...
Well that;s clear as mud. nm
Clear something up for me, please...sm
Do you mean editing as in QA, or editing voice/speech recognition work? I thought QA positions were paid hourly. Someone correct me if this is wrong. If you mean editing voice recognition work, then that pay is too low. Actually, it is too low for QA, too, IMO.
You are not clear at all. Look around for what?
She is looking for a macro and you're telling her "it's" a setting somewhere in options or customize. ????? Before you get your dander up again, you might try explaining exactly what she should be looking for.
What are you talking about? Be a bit more clear.
IC? New pay? QA? WTF?
LOUD AND CLEAR
and let us not forget the nonresponsive e-mails when one does inquire as to where their lines are going. Take the old server down here and there and lose 300 LINES A DAY. YES, WE LOVE IT! NOT
Do you want everybody to clear the board for you? sm
Jump in and bring up a topic. :)
I should've been more clear.
I'm saying I'm okay because I have several plans I'm working on and several people are helping me. All it took was calling my parents. My Dad gave me so much confidence and made me remember who I am or used to be. I am going in for some counseling and more planning will take place then. He sold his truck a few weeks ago, so we are down to my truck. He stated that he won't leave without a vehicle. I going to be pushing very hard for him to find one and that will give him more incentive to leave. He has come to realize that we are not a good match. I have neglected to mention that when he is calm, he is actually okay. He was stirred up lately because I contacted my daughter's family for the first time since she was born. I knew this would upset him, but I didn't care. She needed that. I realize that you are all just trying to look out for me and that is why I posted originally. It seems some of you are turning on me and that's okay too. I think I was in panic-mode when I posted the first time and the finer points of what I was saying were missed. The emotional abuse has been worse on me and my kids than the physical. They were not even here yet last time it happened. The incident two weeks ago was because I was forcing a trip to see my daughter's family. He doesn't handle the step-father part very well. I will stop posting if it will make everyone more comfortable, but I did want to acknowledge those of you that helped me clear my head. I will be going to church this weekend. He will be speaking to the minister. He will be on his own if things don't improve with counseling. I may not have all of your support, but the support of my grandparents and my parents is much more important to me. Thanks again. Sorry if I offended anyone's sensibilities. I obviously have. Bye. Jodie :)
Please Clear Up Questions
What brand keyboard do you actually have? I was looking at the Kinesis Maxim and it does not completely come apart but stays hooked at the top.
The problem is when it's not clear
whether it applies to you or not. Such as the statement: "You are leaving too many blanks." How many blanks are "too many?" In what circumstances?
I think it is just a lazy way of supervising - just send it to everyone instead of dealing with the individual culprits.
And, no, I don't consider that "communication."
Isn't it pretty clear?
You say you'll have set hours to work. If your baby needs a didee change or a bottle during those hours, or if he/she's just cranky and needs to be picked up and loved, what are you going to do? If you're a normal mother, you're going to stop working and take care of your child. So that pretty much answers your question, doesn't it.
 I will never understand why some people think they can work at home with an infant. After all, if you worked outside the home and took your infant with you and he needed attention, you'd have to stop your work and tend to him there, so the fact remains, unless one is superhuman, they cannot work and take care of a child at the same time. Pretty clear cut!
your post is not clear - what exactly are you trying to do?

Thanks for making that clear
I wouldn't want to offend the wrong person. So sorry. but to the other NCMT, I meant every word. :^)
I wasn't clear about that - what I mean was that - sm
more likely than not, they'll get ripped off on their minute-counts, dinged for nonexistent 'mistakes', or have some of their pay 'skimmed', as has been complained about in so very many posts throughout this website, and by too many companies to count. I suppose the truly honest employers in MT can probably be counted on half the fingers of one hand.
You're right about 'weighted' dictators, and it's actually a good thing. I think if a doctor is a difficult dictator to transcribe, he should be weighted, and in addition to paying the MT more to type him, the hospital should be charged more to transcribe him. If it cost them more to have the garbage-work transcribed, maybe somewhere down the road all those ESL doctors right off the boat from somewhere else won't look like such a good deal, after all.
All clear and no ESLs, only wish
I would be in 7th heaven if this were the case. I have my share of ESLs but the ones I have the VR picks them up much better sometimes than our English ones. I have no clue why? One English physician I think really good, the VR fails on this one??? I have some dictators (as probably all do) who talk with speaker phones, snort and go on but I am very pleased with VR and really love.
He would have mentioned it so it was clear it

Did you clear your cookies? nm
The first thing I would get clear on
dictators = more than one dictator.
dictator's = belonging to the dictator; e.g., the dictator's accent.
dictators' = belonging to the dictators; e.g., the dictators' inability to spell.
Your remarks are about as clear as mud. MT from CA nm

nothing clear that I could understand...
of course I think I am missing something because firstly I do not know what I am perceived of doing. That is what is kind of scary...but it is a site that is controlled and monitored, and they can do what they want. That is how it should be I guess. Something struck a nerve but I have no idea what.
sorry, not clear on my point
My so-called implied point is that our bosses keep telling us that we are "training" these SR/VR machines as we make corrections and after we do this long enough, the machines will "perform" much better. It depends on the platform. The one I've worked on for the past year has not changed one teensy bit despite tons of editing gobbledegooky reports. I agree with you--dictators definitely don't care.
What if you don't have clear nail polish? Is there something else you can use?
I don't use nail polish at all and reallly don't want to buy it for just this reason. I also don't want to keep buying keyboards. I had an ergonomic one given to me that works just great, but can't get used to it.
I wore the letters off my keyboard in less than a year, even the raised "notch" on the J and F keys so you can place your fingers correctly. I don't really need them, but sometimes, I get out of position then havea a hard time finding the right keys, especially if I'm in a hurry. I only have QWYPZ /? left on mine. Thanks.
clear as a bell, "Tinzar" nm
My post is clear. ACCOUNTS. (NM)

As long as you have a clear view of the
southern sky you are okay, doesn't matter where you are. I had DirecWay and your download speed isn't reliable. Sometimes it can be really fast, other times as slow as dial-up. Snow and heavy rain also interfer with the signal.
I steered my clear of that. they saw what a workaholic I was and said no thanks. nm

Thinking I wasn't clear...sm
I totally agree with you...see my first post. I too have been in the business for a long, long time and think its ridiculous to worry about that stuff. I was questioning why we see this so much. Who is it that is pushing this stuff....and are those MT's really being forced to adhere to all that c___!??
I have asked but didn't get a clear
answer. This is a company I'm considering testing for. This is why I asked here.
if the dictation is clear and flowing....nm
I hear you loud and clear - sm....
I'm handing out walking papers today to a very large practice for those exact reasons, coupled with the fact the docs dictate past the speed of sound  and their OM and medical records girl are - well, let's just say a celery stalk has more intelligence than both of them combined. They all disgust me  and I don't want their account, not for ANY amount of money! 
First message not clear re: shorthand
It takes a long time for the word to expand. There. That sounds better.
seems to me your cousin has already made it clear...
that she's not interested in family parties...so I would "believe" her prior pattern of behavior and ignore her shower.
I think I will try this, too, with the clear tub. He is just a common domesticated
He was bigger than his brother and sister (I received 3 all at the same time)when they were 4 weeks old. He just kept growing!
He's HUGE. On his hind legs, his head is at the doorknob and YES - He can open doors! If I don't have the bathroom door locked, he comes right in! I have pretty big hands and his paw in m palm is about 3 fingers width! He is just a massive kitty. He's a wus, though. lol He's terrified of outside! The only thing he doesn't like is the FedEx man! He growls like a dog when FedEx comes to the door!!!
I can't carry him myself in his carrier (not the hard plastic type, but the soft material) so I have to have my son come over and carry him!!
What has happened to clear dictation? (sm))
I started as a MT at MQ 6 years ago and used a C-phone. 99% of all my dictators were crystal clear - just like they were standing in the same room as I was. I left MQ and have been at 3 different companies that use rerecordings via internet, and at best the dictation is slightly muffled. Has rerecording ruined transcription quality? Do C-phones give better quality dictation? I am really tired of straining to hear my dictators. I am the only one that feels like this? Sure would like some input regarding this.
I hear you loud and clear! sm
I am feeling the EXACT same way as you. The eagerness is apparently just for show, the skill level is well below actual ability and the expectation level regarding pay is beyond reality. I know there are LOTS of good MTs out there but most of them are already employed in jobs that are fulfilling their needs. We're now looking at a lot of wannabes who don't understand what it takes to be successful in this business.
I only change those if the subject is clear (sm)
It sounds as if in the transcript you're talking about, the subject isn't clear and I agree it wouldn't be appropriate to add it.
The MT is probably putting it because s/he is (a) trying to make a complete sentence and (b) thinking of the rule of always putting "The patient" and not "Patient" to start a sentence, which is commonly taught. It might be tough to get the idea across, but I would agree in trying!
Clear nail polish
I periodically cover the keys with clear nail polish and I've had the same keyboard for almost a year - letters are not wearing away.
