In Reply to: No check from 07/16, 08/01, and 08/16..no response to e-mails - what do I do next?
I think you should telephone her. This is possibly the only real way you could find out what is going on. Certainly after 3 times of nonpayment, I'd do no more work until all behind monies are paid and then in the future only allow 1 payment to be late before not doing work for her. Good luck to you

Request that they place a stop payment on the check, reissue, and mail priority or overnight mail
If they refuse or invent unbelievable excuses, you'll know you have a problem. If MY check was a week late, there are many months I would be in deep trouble.
I realize checks occasionally do get lost in the mail. If they are 100% sure it was mailed, then they shouldn't mind issuing another.
Be firm and be persistent.

In every company I have worked for that pays via mail, they mail the checks on payday. sm
Depending on the distance you can get them anywhere from 3-8 days later. Right now one takes 3 days, the other 3-5.

My mail carrier just informed me that the mail is sorted by
prisoners as part of their work. Now do you feel safer and more secure?
Block her E-mail, return mail unopened
On AOL I can determine who I want to receive mail from and block those I do not -- and if they are blocked they get their E-mail back as being "undeliverable". If she sends things out -- send back --unaccepted. But to be simple just E-mail her back or call the recuriter if you don't want to deal with her directly and state -- leave me alone. If she is in another state you should not be scared of her but you may simply have to put it out there in no uncertain terms.
I think other way, for receiving not sending

Looks like that's only for sending, not receiving?

Are you currently receiving any type of
assistance or benefits through OVR (Office of Vocational Rehab)? That could be a motivating factor for this counselor to get you to take a job that is obviously beneath your qualifications. I would hold out. She can't force you to take it.
Not receiving any assistance. sm
I wanted financial help with going back to school for coding. The only training they offered was at a JVS school or a IDT type school as a medical assistant. Then the funds for training were cut. They offered (and pushed) this job assistance program which I thought was going to be more in depth than it is. I thought I would be sent on interviews they had arranged. Basically I meet with the counselor once a week and she gives me leads she found on the internet and I send in my resume. She supposedly knows the area and was going to provide local job leads. I lost one MT job in June due to VR and on my own found the job I have now in about a week. Yes I probably need another job in billing/coding so I can make more money, but now is not the time to be giving up a job you already have. IMHO
Unbelievable! And to think at MQ we are bellyaching at receiving...sm
only 80% of our regular line rate for editing. It sounds like clinic notes, dr's office notes, maybe just a few docs, nothing complicated, lots of canned text etc. Still 2 cents a line, I don't think you could speed up the sound enough to make any money at that rate unless there were no mistakes whatsoever.
I would be afraid of receiving a lethal

sending/receiving dictation
I am looking at taking on another account. My account I currently have I did not have to set up the send/receive aspect because it was already done for me. My first client uses a software called Send-It. They upload the handheld recorder tapes onto the computer on thier end and it transfers to my FTP site. Now they do not make this software because it is not compatible with XP. Is there any software out there like this that is compatible with XP so I can let my new client know where to get it? He wants to do a call in situation, but I know nothing about this and would like to keep both clients the same. Thanks for any information!!
Is that right? The MTSO is receiving the same rate
and paying the MT less for editing. That is a horrible thought. I was under the impression that the MTSO was also charging less for editing. Sure, we may in some instances be able to edit twice the amount of lines, but in reality we are still doing double the work for less the money. Makes no sense that we would have to do more work for less money. If this keeps up and we keep getting our rate cut, soon we will end up like one of those down and out person on the street that you see with a sign that says, "Will work for food."
the grand total is 3 so far from the emails I am receiving....thanks everyone - nm

trouble receiving Daily Digest??
Can anyone tell me why I am having trouble re-signing up for the Daily Digest. Have not been receiving now for about a month and cannot seem to re-sign up - keep getting error message?? Thanks - I miss it.

Express Scribe and receiving the voice files...
I have been using Express Scribe to transcribe notes from voice files that are sent to my AOL mailbox. I was told that AOL mailboxes will only allow smaller sized voice files and that they will not accept larger files. Does anyone have information regarding this matter? Is there a better server I should change to so I can receive the larger voice files?
I was also wondering if I should instead use one of those MT platforms where the doc’s email to that specific platform and the MT picks them up there. For the life of me, I cannot recall the name of that site. If anyone knows of the site, can you please let me know.
All advice appreciated, thank you.
Need Help receiving encrypted files through Express Scribe!
Is there anyone out there who could tell me how I could listen to encrypted files in my Express Scribe which I receive through email??? I am able to receive and listen to them just fine when not encrypted, but cannot figure out how to set ES up to use a password. When I click on the voice file in my inbox, it now takes me to ES, but displays an ERROR box stating - unable to open DSS file, this means the file might not be a true DSS file or the file is corrupt.
Yesterday, I posted this on the wrong board, but did receive some response anyway and thanks! Still now working though. Someone told me that I needed to get the User Id # from the clinic's software program they are using. The person I subcontract for thought that the User Id from her Olympus DSS software would work, but I am not so sure since the files originally come from the clinic.
I would rather not have to purchase the Olympus program if not necessary. I would think there would be some way to receive these encrypted files with their password. I have also tried to leave the User ID area blank or enter 0, but this does not work either. Keep getting the ERROR message as above.
The files are coming from a dss program called Olympus if that matters. Any insight would be greaaaatly appreciated!!!
Has anyeone else had a problem receiving x-rated emails? sm
It started a few weeks ago, and they come in with the name on the email as my husband's name, but it's my own email address. They are usually lewd subject lines, talking about male size, and crap like that. I accidently opened one and they all have to do with drugs like Viagra and Cialis. They had a website to link to to get off their emailing list, but I can tell that they have somehow just glommed onto my system.
Has this happened to anyone else? Is it a virus or something? Any ideas on how to get rid of it? It's not like I can block my own email address or my husband's from coming into my email box, which is exactly how they're sending them, like they're coming from myself!
Any ideas, please? I've been deleting something like 25 emails a day from these, and I'm getting ill just having to read the subject line that pops in with each one.
Many thanks, in advance, if anyone has any info on this scam.
Have my own ftp site for receiving wave files...return completed

She probably cares because as long as she is on 100% QA, she is receiving a lower wage, in addition
to holding up her eligibility for benefits (if she is entitled to them).
I have found that honesty is always best. I've quit a job right after receiving the equipment S
because a better offer came along. I have always just been honest, tell them that I've decided to accept another position. I apologize for any inconvenience, ask them to instruct them on how they would like me to return the equipment, and then I always ask that they keep my resume on file. They are usually pretty diplomatic about it. They'd rather you tell them up front than waste their time and yours in training for a job you're not going to be happy with.
The program is being determined by the file extension you're receiving. sm
If you're receiving a voice file that's opening automatically in MediaPlayer (which is what I think you're trying to say), then you will need to change the program that is automatically associated with that file type so that it will open the program you want to use.
The easiest way to do this is to open Explorer, locate the voice file, right mouse click on it and choose Properties. On the General tab in the first "block" where is says Opens With, click the Change button and then choose the program you want to use from the list that appears. This will change the program that opens ALL files with that extension.

Some emails that are sent do not warrant a written reply, so receiving a read receipt would
ensure that the information sent has been read/received.

I'm getting e-mail and personal mail from MQ regarding changes
and lawsuits. What's up with MQ? Any speculation? My mail is general and not specific to my office. Think things are coming to a head with the lawsuits and MQ is trying to play nice?
See how much fun we can have? We aren't always mean!
A little fun with typos can turn into a whole new city!
Why aren't we all doing something?
I have only seen 2 or 3 people say they are happy with MQ on this board. If we are so unhappy, why can't we band together and be heard?
Some are and some aren't, just like here.

others aren't.

No you aren't the only one with those sm
problems. Sounds like you had an awfully bad day. I truly admire anyone who works at home with young children. I could never have done that when my 3 sons (nothing like the hit tv show way back when) were growing up. You name it, they did it. If one didn't think of it, the other one did, and the majority of the time, it wasn't good. I admire you for giving it your best shot. Hopefully, someone on this board can give you some suggestions that will help. Keep trying!
They Aren't the Only Ones
Technical support for just about anything is offshore now. Call centers are worldwide. I absolutely refuse to call and speak to someone I can't understand AND expect them to help me. Dell actually has pretty clear-speaking ESLs and after "the job" is finished, they ask all kinds of questions about their English, knowledge, manner, etc...For once I was impressed.
When I was getting my phone line through Verizon, I had to speak with an ESL and it was a nightmare. I get very cranky and short with them even though I don't mean to. If I had the guts to do it, I would demand to speak to an American, but I can't bring myself to do that.
You aren't going to get 15 to 18 cpl.
profession if what you are getting paid isn't what you are worth. I am staying here because I make more money doing MT than I could doing anything else. I'm good at it and I'm fast. I make $35 to $40 an hour. The very least I ever make is on an account that I make 10.5 cpl on and that is $25 to $30 an hour. There is no job I could get anywhere else that I could make that much an hour. I think I am paid very well. Yes, it's worth $25 to $40 an hour for me to do MT. If you can't make enough, you need to find some other job.
And some MTs aren't serious enough.
Some are bad some aren't...
Acute care is not easy. Not for a beginner anyway. Sometimes on the account I am on I just want to scream because I do get a lot of ESLs and they can be challenging. But there are some doctors who aren't so bad. Some days you may get terrible dictators and you think you aren't getting anywhere or making much of anything. Then another day you may have a better day where there aren't so many bad dictators and you get more done. I work on an account with a learning hospital which is a hospital where they have residents who are learning. It is a huge hospital and there are 35 pages of docs on the doctor list. That is not counting the residents either. No I am not kidding. It is rare to get the same doctor except every once in a while. You aren't doing the same ones everyday.
Some aren't cut out
Some MLS's are just not cut out for editing- me for one. I tried for at least 6 months. My lead switched me to picking up the straight typing work on the accounts. I get the more difficult dictators which cuts my rate down but its still better than I can muster in editing. My problem - I can't edit and continue listening at the same time.
response
there could be a thousand reasons why they did not respond, yet the message was still on the board today. Don't think it means anything scandalous! I've sent my resume to lots of job ads, and they have still been posted, even after receiving a response about my resume. I don't understand what you're saying .
response to allow ex not to pay
I have been fighting this cs nonpayment battle for about 16 years. I have gone into dept to a lawyer, done tons and tons of paperwork, hired a company to collect. The states (there is more than one involved)do not help. It is a costly, time-consuming,frustrating, fruitless battle in many cases.
Response
Thanks. I tried printing out the lists but had to click on each name individually and do it one at at time so that was just as tedious as well and when printed out put them in alphabetical order. They were not dictated in alphabetical order but when a name came up you had to stop and finger through each name to find the perspective name! SIGH!!!!!!!!!!!!
Response
For one thing, I do not use proper english on the internet. It's completely short, to the point, and I do jump around. Even an English teacher will tell you it's different than a typed term paper. After being on the internet boards and forums, it has become a bad habit of mine, and someone reading my post completely assumed I'm ignorant and not hireable. I think my bosses would disagree, considering I'm quite the hardworker they need, my deadlines are constantly met, I go above and beyond the call of duty, and when medicare audits roll around, I am 1 of 3 people out of 480 employees who find their audit reports on the CEO's desk with a 99.8%-100% accuracy rate. I know the person I am and that of my skills. I didn't come to get attacked over my improper use of words, because I was on net forum discussion boards. Those giving sound advice, thank you. I'll be taking it to the bank. To those jumping in on my behalf over any snide remarks, TIA. I am sorry I struck the wrong nerve with you over my etiquette.

Thank you everyone for your response. sm
She has a consult with a pediatric gastro doc at a Childrens Hosp near us. I am praying that they can find something to help her. She is quite exhausted and so are we! I feel terrible not being able to "fix" it for her. Will keep you all posted. Thanks so much again.
Response
I have been a Transcriptionist for years and have always had my own accounts. I tried working for nationals over the past 6 months for the first time in my life and had a lousy experience both times. The dictation sound quality on one was really, really bad and on the other you had to spend a lot of time typing in demographcs. Word Expanders did not really do much good. I'd say keep trying til you find a good company or get your own accounts. I'm fast and accurate but not doing good with the nationals. Suggestions too?
I see you have no response when you
are wrong, "you must have a really boring life". I think an apology is in order.
