You're right...I just googled and found a lot...

There one here. It's almost $30. There are probably more reasonable ones. This is just the first one I saw. 
Bono, still haven't found what you're looking for?
Just couldn't resist that one.
I found the keyboard you're talking about...
do you remember about how long it took you to get used to it? Do you think you're faster on it? thanks for any info you can provide!
You're correct. Thanks! I found 2 on the SOAP transcription site

Oh, I found it really creepy when you said you found the flowers not so skillfully arranged on your
steps, and from your own flower bed. That's what I was worried about, having gone thru some psycho kids myself with my pups. Someone's been in your yard and in your garden and at your door without your knowledge. Its just creepy to me, and I'd still be very, very careful. Especially valid sounded the other MTs warning you about potential fake molestation charges. You just NEVER know nowadays, and these people have already turned on you big time once. Luckily (though I don't believe in luck), you had it on film to save yourself and your puppy. You might not be that lucky next time, and the whole thing just sounds very unstable to me right now. I know you feel sorry for the little girl, but probably the only time I have ever made BAD decisions regarding my life is when I felt sorry for someone, particularly kids. My son even has an evil kid in his life, but one who has a million reasons for sympathy, and I was saying how we should "be bigger" than the situation and invite this kid over to play. Thankfully, I regained my sanity long enough to remember - ever time I have done something like that on a personal basis for someone just because I feel sorry for them AFTER horrible behavior, it has always been a disaster... Be kind, but you don't have to risk your family again. Be kind from a distance. Its sorry she went thru this horrible experience, but YOU didn't cause it, and its not really your problem. But it could be your problem if this kid acts out in your life. Know what I mean?

Well, you're all complaining that accounts are current and work is low, so, gee, maybe they're
focusing on WORK, as in CLIENT and transcribing, as maybe half of you should be focusing on!!
If you're experienced, try for 9cpl or higher, and you're lucky to get that! nm

You're probably right. Plus we're losing our percentage of good people by .... (sm)
allowing every loser from every 3rd world country on the planet to just stroll on into our country, some legally, most illegally, and take advantage of the social services all us hard working little gerbils pay for by having money taken out of our pay every month. But I don't think we're all lazy. Just the ones on permanent welfare driving around town in brand-new Cadillac Escalades. Saw one just today on the Bayshore Fwy. Brand-new black Escalade with expensive spinner wheels, with 5 or 6 Mexicans in it. Well, who knows - maybe they stole it and it was on its way to a chop-shop. Smart-and-hungry people aren't always hard-working and honest.

You're forgetting all the stuff you can't buy when you're UNEMPLOYED!
Unemployed people have a hard time buying anything, including cheaply made offshore products. How many will have to end up depending on public assistance? That means more tax dollars being eaten up - besides the taxes NOT being collected from the overseas workers. In the long run, are you really enjoying a lower price?
If you're on the job, ask for samples to do it how they want it. If you're testing, separate o

You're not losing it, you're burned out on your main job.
I feel for you... I am having my own "version" ;-) of these kinds of struggles. Lots of recent changes at the admin level have made my job do a 180, going from a really great one to a really crappy one.
For me, it's a struggle to get through the day with a shred of motivation. I get distracted in the way you discuss as well.
I just try to make my environment as comfortable as possible and make the best of it while I decide what the best way is to deal with the burnout... I figure if I can't change my inner brain workings so that I still like this job, I need to find another one, or this feeling will possibly get worse!
I hope it works out for you. Wish I had some better advice for you, but this really does look like burnout and extreme job dissatisfaction to me. We all wear it differently. Try to be good to yourself while you figure out a solution.
Don't know what you're complaint you're making with this post. sm
You stated in your original post that you don't want to work weekends or odd shifts. What is your definition of an odd shift? Second shift? Third shift? Sounds like you want to work M-F on days. Sounds kind of rigid to me. 
Personally I like second shift, so everyone working days means more work for me!

If they're withholding taxes, you're not an IC.
As an IC, you should already be paying taxes. That said, the only benefit having them withhold FICA is that your Social Security/Medicare share will be less. Social Security is 15%; if you're an employee, you pay 7.5% and your employer pays 7.5%. As an IC, you pay 15%. Doing the math, 0.0925 would be your 0.10 minus 7.5%--the 0.0924 is just a tad less than you're making now.
We're out here (good MTs) but we're busy! sm
I don't recall ever taking an employment test where I wasn't offered a job. My MTSO does not even look at my work unless I happen to have a question or a blank, which happens maybe once in every 30 or so reports with an ESL. If you find a really good MT, how much training would be involved? Certainly you would save time in the long run once they're trained and you don't have to check all their work.
If you're one of the MTDesk clan then you're ok

You're right if you're single it's tough.
I am an IC as well, but I have a husband with benefits and makes a fair buck. I am fortunate after 20 years to able to work from home. I worked on site for 17 years with a "chocolate cake" the day I left. Nothing more... The loyalty in any profession is gone, gone, and gone again.
Most companies want new employees/ICs that will take low pay and that won't cost much in the way of paying vacation time.
I do take every Friday off and try only to get on to check e-mail, etc.
However, I wouldn't trade being here for my kids at this point.
There are headaches no matter what profession you are in. It seems if it isn't one thing it's another.
Raises? Out of the question in this profession since most are afraid they will lose the account including myself. I also underbid my last account because I wanted the account so bad. I should be charging more.
It is a neverending cycle really.
But, I still enjoy the work, so I guess that's the difference. It does take will power to sit and type. Some people need that boss hanging around to keep the production up and the incentive of a nice paycheck is just not good enough.
Good luck with your new job! Sounds great!
If you're new, good - if you're not a newbie, not so hot
Would need to know how long you have been an MT. For a newbie, this is a pretty good rate of speed.
However, if you have anything over a couple years of experience, then this is not too hot.
Also, what are the dictators like? Is it a "United Nations" account??
If you ARE capable of 200 lph or more and you can't seem to get it, then the problem has got to be with the platform you are using. In my experience, the platform into which you transcribe can make or break your paycheck - so if the platform stinks, then I hate to tell you, but there is no way you will be able to improve your line rate. I have quit jobs because of awful platforms more than once.

No, you're not missing anything, but you're really not seeing
anything either. InterFix designs and sets up software specifically to facilitate an easy conversion to overseas transcription.
You're both right and you're both wrong.
There are too many variables to give an accurate--or even estimated--count. Using a standard 1-inch margin, you may have short lines and lots of paragraphs and get a lower count. If no paragraphs and it's a full page of text from margin to margin, you get your higher count. You can't possibly use an average count because of variables, which is why no one can commit to a pat answer.
It says that's why you're QA and we're MT, simple enough?
What I have found ...
is that specialties are usually easier because they are a confined, defined, specific, and more narrow scope of medical terminology, etc. As well, you will not have as many dictators to learn in a specialty field.
The more broad/general the work you transcribe, the greater the base fund of knowledge you need for knowing the terminology, medications, tests, procedures, diagnoses, treatments, symptoms, etc.
Just my experience.
I found their ad.
I see in an old post that you work PT for them? Are they hiring any PT at all right now? Do they consider PT to be by hours or by lines? I can go to their website, too, if you don't get back to this. Thank you.

I FOUND OUT
I work for a hospital, not for MQ, but we use their DQS program. What they do, is go in on DocQmanage and change up how they count the lines. They use a divisor that changes. They can count or not count whatever they want, and they do it! They are literally stealing from us.

It never fails - I searched for this multiple times yesterday and again this morning. As soon as I posted it on the board, I found it. Sorry to have bothered you all.

THAT IS JUST WANT I HAVE FOUND
out from a nice person who emailed me with some very helpful information. Looks like that is my first task, to have some dictation of my ownm some nice Americans and ESL physicians to use in classes.....Should not be too hard to do....I have acess to a hospital.....I was under the impression that since I purchased the programs and each had the company label on them, crediting them with ownership, I would be in the clear. Guess not.
Found it. Thanks.

I found it used for $100..
You can look on Mtdaily.com under classifieds or post a wanted ad. It very rarely sells on ebay.
I use it and love it too. Took me a month to be real efficient with it though.

I just went to my first one and I found myself....
I was dressed nice, it was held indoors/outdoors at the botanical gardens in the city where I live, but I really believe I was underdressed......not fancied up enough.
Oh well, it was my first one EVER, and was for my friend's eldest, and I went, and it was fun and nice; a lot of dancing mainly. All women were in skirts or dresses.......no slacks or fancy trousers.......
The men, on the other hand, and the boys, were dressed far more casually than the girls/women. Jeans and nice shirts were what most men and boys were wearing....very neat and clean, but I found that odd too, that the women/girls were FAR more dressed up.
We gave $$.....*S*
I think I found something

Strawberry Swirl Cheesecake Brownie Bars Recipe
Ingredients
Bottom:
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
8 Tbsp butter (1 stick), melted and cooled to room temperature
1 egg
1 pkg (21.2 ounces) brownie mix (tested with Betty Crocker Triple Chunk)
Cheesecake Layer:
3 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
3 eggs at room temperature
3/4 cup pureed strawberries, fresh or frozen, sweetened with 1 Tbsp sugar (sugar is optional)
Topping:
1 pkg (3 ounces) strawberry-flavored gelatin
1/2 cup boiling water
1/4 cup strawberries, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
Instructions
Bottom:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9 by 13-inch pan with non-stick foil.
Cream butter and cream cheese together; add egg and mix until smooth. Combine creamed mixture with dry brownie mix, stirring by hand. Mixture will be thick. Spread evenly in foil-lined pan and bake for 15 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
Cheesecake Layer:
Beat cream cheese, 3/4 cup sugar and vanilla with electric mixer until well blended. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition just until blended. Reserve 1-1/2 cups of the plain batter. Stir strawberry puree into remaining batter.
Spoon strawberry batter over bottom; top with evenly-spaced spoonfuls of plain batter. Swirl a butter knife through topping for marble effect, taking care not to dislodge the bottom brownie layer.
Bake at 350 degrees F. for 40 to 45 minutes or until center is set and edges lightly browned. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate while preparing topping.
Topping:
Combine boiling water and both boxes of gelatin. Stir until no more sugar or gelatin granules are visible and liquid is clear. Cool to room temperature. Add strawberry chunks and mix well. Pour cooled strawberry gelatin mixture over top of cooled cheesecake and spread evenly. Refrigerate for at least two hours. Cut into bars before serving. Refrigerate leftovers.
Yield: 24 servings
