options out there including Comcast, Vonage, AT&T Small Business Advantage and more. If you do your research and stop spouting without checking your facts, then people would not chase their tails after bad information.

But they came here LEGALLY, and actually
WORSE like this particular group is doing. Ever driven down a street of apartments that has gone Mexican? It's TRASHED.
I would go after him legally sm
if I had to in order to get my money and have that report changed. That could very well affect you in the future. These doctors. The longer I do this the more I hate Western medicine.
Not much to offer, but legally I don't even
think his mother could get his $ before you, his wife. Something sounds fightable there. Sounds like your hubby has a lot of growing up to do. When a guy marries, he should lessen the relationship with his mom, and transfer his love, attention, devotion, loyalty to his wife. As long as his parents are willing participants, doesn't sound like you have much of a chance. I had been in a vaguely similar situation - my husband's controlling parents were ruining our marriage - they actually wanted us to divorce due to their own control issues. We separated, I moved to the other end of the state. My husband quickly followed, and once out of his parents' WEB, we were able to focus on our marriage, and he was able to see the negative influence of his parents. I'm sorry you're going thru this. PLEASE keep us posted! 
Legally they have no right to ask you - just give
...
Legally they cannot pay below minimum
wage. Anyone making below that should check with their state government and make sure that if they do not make minimum wage that this is rectified. Even at the Q, they have to make up the difference to minimum wage.
two jobs in one company, is it legally possible? sm
is it possible to work in a company with two jobs at different shifts? like for example, I work as a Transcriptionist in the surgery dept and then there's an opening for a different position in a different department. can i apply for that job without jeopardizing the other? Can they accept me if I applied for that job? need advices. thanks a lot! 
Legally working at home
In some places it is still technically illegal to work at home. If there is a strong union presence, that may be the case because they want to prevent non-unionized piecework jobs. They equate it, rightly or wrongly, with sweatshop labor.
In some places, you will have to go before the town planning commission and notify all neighbors within a certain radius of what your business is, especially in terms of noise, smells and traffic. In essence, you will be asking for a change in zoning.
If you live in a condo complex, check your covenants/bylaws to see if you can work at home.
So, yes, I would start with city hall if I lived in an incorporated area or with the county clerk if I lived in an unincorporated area. It is different everywhere, and some places really haven't come into the electronic age. Some of the laws still on the books belong more to 1907 than to 2007.
In my area, I don't remember the business license costing anything (although I suspect it did - I can't image the county not looking for money), but I remember I had to have a *doing business as* notice printed for 3 consecutive weeks in the local paper. That wasn't expensive either - they had a set fee for it.
No he doesn't. Believe what you want, the truth will come out legally.

Cannot legally share - software pirating
No, the BOS is copyrighted intellectual property. If you make copies to hand out for free, then that is software piracy (fancy digital way of saying stealing). This is why Medquist Technical will want to verify that you have removed the download from your personal computer if you use one rather than one that belongs to Medquist and will be returned to them when you quit. Medquist bought licenses to enable that so-called free download for employees. By that I mean that just because the employees didn't pay for it does not mean that it was really free for the company.
if you made less than 600 dollars they don't legally have to claim it.
Just found that out also as last year my IC job only started in October and didn't make enough for taxes. This year will be different though. My employer said consider it free money. Can't argue with that. Checked with H&R Block and they confirmed it.
Betsy - used to be my name till I legally changed to Elizabeth.
Christina, I would not send voice files unless they legally
belong to you and are in your voice. It is against HIPAA regulations to share medical files. If the hospital or physician or company finds out, you would be held accountable if a patient's private information is given out to another party.
Today is different and you cannot fight companies who LEGALLY can offshore work.
So all Americans refuse to buy goods, shop at stores, or work for companies who offshore. That leaves a mess. Do you realize a lot of American companies are actually owned by foreigners? Get real and move into 2005. You are going to spend a lot of time boycotting once you do the research. I doubt you will be able to shop or work at all.
Not legally. In my state they can't give any meds, can hand the pill
bottle to the patient, but can't actually give them meds.
Maybe you are thinking of CRNA?
I'm already legally blind and I think all this staring at a screen is making them worse! sm
I'll look into these computer glasses you speak of. Wearing glasses rather than contacts really did help.. I don't know how or why, but it did. Maybe the combination of antiglare screen and antiglare lenses?
My monitor's screen is supposed to be antiglare, but I still am thinking one of the antiglare hook-ons might be helpful. Only problem with that is I have an 'old fashioned' monitors (the kind that are huge and weigh a ton) and not one of the flat screens so not sure if I'll find one to fit.
In some states, if buying house and married, both names are legally required to be on deed. (nm)

Agree, verbatim transcription equals poor quality transcription.

Cannot legally require you to commit time to them as an employee and then not pay you for that time.

Thank you ghost! So true! So true! More than one person!

Yer crackin' me up! True, true, true! nm

Know AIM transcription system, never heard of Hull transcription. Are you sure
you are not thinking about DHull who is a recruiter for MDI-FL? They use the AIM system.
ROFL!! true, so true! nm

true, true but out of about 90 flicks....1 or 2...nm
true, true - but what you see as arrogance...sm
I think a lot of people go the extreme -
so, if I had to be one way or the other (being a humble extremist myself...*LOL*), I'd rather have too much self-esteem than not enough (been there, done that the first 30 years!!! *L*). And I am a truly humble person, been recognized for just that.....but because of *been there, done that* - and all sorts of therapies (not drug therapies), some end up the other way. Oh well, this was a fun couple of posts - so I thought.
Gave me much to chew on :) Have fun! 
True but to say there are no good MTs not true.
asdf
ROFLMAO!!!! so true! so true!
Everybody sees it but her, though! I love it! Thanks for the giggle! ":^)
True!

that's so true nm
this is sad, but true
search engines are great, but they pick up all the WRONG information also...so be careful
That may be true for No. Cal. (sm)
in Southern Cal (Orange County), the accounts have become quite scarce and most doctors will not pay over 11 cents per line, that is, if you can find your own accounts at all anymore. They get a lot of solicitations and do not have to pay over 11 cents. There is a lot of EMR taking over out here or all the accounts have been taken by large services.
Sad but true
.
Of course, what you say is all true; however...
my compassion and tolerance dries up pretty quickly when someone expects special treatment (plays the ____ card, if you will) because of situations they are in a result of their own decisions.
This comes across as harsh, but it's a fact of life that decisions do have consequences, and when people try to minimize the consequences of their actions and/or expect other people to pick up their slack, I get mighty testy indeed.
Hey, what I said is true - I do it --
I don't cherrypick. I probably work longer hours (about 9-1/2 to 10 a day)than most but I can get 3000 lines in a day and if I worked longer, say 15-16 hours, I have no doubt I could get 4800 lines.
No one is cutting ANYONE's line count. I just stick with it, man. I keep typing while others are up running around doing their laundry, or tending to a kid, or playing on this board. I just keep typing steadily along.
Hey, man, I'm sorry if you have problems getting more lines but that doesn't mean I or anyone else am taking them from you. They are there. Sit down and type 'em.
And NO, I don't work for this company. Every company has CPs and it is not fair. But just because YOU can't do someone else's line count doesn't mean they didn't get it -- without doing something unfairly.
That's not true (sm)
I confirmed this with my office when I started DQS. I also tested it by importing text into another program and all characters and spaces, including the red headers were counted.
Is this true?
A girl at work today told me that Keanu Reeves is the (late) Christopher Reeves son.
I never heard this before, and so far I am unable to document via the internet. Anyone have any input? Much thanks.
It is true
Dont doubt it, it is true.

UN-true
Beth, face the fact that we aren't buying your bunch of hooey. Shame on you for trying to sell it to us. Go away. Go troll somewhere else.
SO TRUE
I couldn't believe what was happening. I knew that I was producing much, much more work, but couldn't understand why I was not getting near the lines that I was getting before the switch. Then, one day, I found out. I've hated MQ every since.
It's true
In DQS hit F9 and to a detailed summary of your lines. Then click on a report. Two types of reports will be shown. One is the way the reports shows up after corrections are made and the other is for payroll which is the way you transcribed the report. Choose the payroll one and then scroll to the bottom. It is not hard to figure out. And, YES, you can look at what you have transcribed this way. The head honchos want us to look at our work after it has been corrected so we will know what mistakes not to make any more. I have been transcribing for 23 years and if I leave a blank it is usually because I cannot hear what the dictator is saying. Typically when I recheck a report, the ME or QA person could not figure it out either. Sometimes they leave the blank and sometimes they just take it out and put something odd in its place. Now, how is that right? Everyone should be checking their reports.
It is so true
Where I worked previously, we were able to add a "weighted factor" for difficult dictators and for certain types of reports as some in the office thought those reports took more time to transcribe or were just more difficult - OP and CONSULTS. If you look at the bottom of the payroll report you will see all kinds of figures where items are counted, not counted, possibly could be adjusted in the future, etc. Look at it, and figure out for yourself what the future holds!!!
It is so true
Mtheaded - I think we worked for the same company before. Would you care to e-mail me?
Tis true...
We're swamped!
This is not true!
I am a Quality Assurance specialist with a large national transcription company and I beg to differ with your statement. We send our overflow work to India and let me tell you, their quality is NOT "superior" to the American MT - In fact, we have to do 100% QA on each and every job - your hair would curl at some of the mistakes I have seen just because they don't understand basic English colloquialisms. When all work has to be 100% QA'd by a salaried individual, where is the savings? Unless you send unedited, unproofed work to your clients, in which case I don't think it matters where the good MTs are...you will be out of business soon. Don't dare compare the quality of American and Indian MTs.
Well, that is true too.
Probably low quality work from them.
Actually, that's not true. I am not the OP
and I rarely post on here but I work for MQ as well and am SICK of the whining about MQ.
For every one of you who has the right to complain about MQ, an MT has the right to complain about you.
Get over it. It's fair game. You're sick of MQ? We're sick of your complaining.
I have to say, though, it is kind of funny that now we've given the incessant whiners something else to complain about! You should be happier now!! LOL
That is so true!
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA. I can't stop laughing.
Unfortunately tis true...
And I wish Bush would get a new line - of business (perhaps Wal-Mart greeter?)..
So true...
This is so true. I work for MDI and there is plenty of work. There needs to be more hours in the day to get all the work done that is there. I believe some of these people DO NOT work for MDI or they would know better.
this is true, however,
Forty hours a week is forty hours a week. It should not matter WHAT days and hours you choose to work.
I worked in customer service at a call center. My hours were 11 a.m. to 8 a.m. I was off Friday and Sunday. That was 100% legal.
Not True
I use InstantText with DQS and it works just fine. When you load it you have to tell it to look for DQS to link the two... but it works great. Don't know if SmartType works with DQS or not.
