The MEDIA is owned by 5 mega corporations

and they have an agenda almost if not more devious than certain politicians...
Remember the MEDIA is owned by FOR-PROFIT corporations. Corporations like this have a LEGAL responsibility to make as much money as possible for shareholders. What does that mean? It means they choose sensational garbage over substance to "report" - and in the case of this so-called war, they BENEFIT the reads PROFIT directly and indirectly, so they purposely censor the information that gets in the way of true public awareness.
If ANYone sincerely believes the media is our friend, they have not done their homework. Don't take my word for it: Google "who owns the media" and see any number of studies showing WHICH corporations own the major news corporation.
GE make "bring good things to life" BUT they ALSO make bombs (WMD) - AND they own NBC. Connect the dots yourself, and consider asking your reps in Congress for legislation to clean up the media.
Yes, there are crack reporters who are DYING to report the truth, but they are EDITED out by their supervisors who follow the agenda of the corporate bosses.
The facts are out there if you look for them.

I don't think any big corporations appreciate
Have you tried working for a smaller MTSO or a local doctor? I am still relatively new to this field and I definitely respect your experience and vast knowledge, and I can see why you would be frustrated!
I would think someone with your skills would be appreciated in a smaller business environment. I know you have tons of experience and have probably worked for different companies, but if you quit transcribing and then someday decide to come back I hope you find a place where you are appreciated. Large companies tend to see you as JUST A NUMBER no matter how talented you are or how much money you are raking in for the company.
I see so much negativity on here about the bigger companies, and I'm actually grateful for it because I know to be very wary of certain companies in the future, but I feel bad for the shabby treatment people receive and can't help but think they would be treated better in a smaller company that actually knows your name and your skill set. I received the best pay and most respect when I worked in an actual doctor's office. At least the physician told me how great I was and how much she appreciated my work. She knew how valuable quality and good turnaround time was and how important it was to get letters to referring doctors in order to get the docs to refer more patients to her, etc.
I don't know if I'll stick with transcription either, but since my kids are so young I am saving over $1000 a month not having to pay daycare, so right now it's worth it to me. In the future who knows? I might get fed up too. Good luck in your decision, and I truly hope you find a job that appreciates you!
You do have to feel sorry for the corporations, though. SM
It must be disheartening for them to find out that the greedy Americans won't take their back-breaking jobs for $2/hour. It must have come as a shock to learn that the education in Harlem is not quite as good as the education their child got at boarding school. And he deserves the multimillion dollar bonus he makes because he's the one who has to lay awake at night wondering where they will have to offshore to next since rumor has it that the greedy Indians are soon going to be asking $10/day...and that would be disastrous to the poor CEOs plans for a summer house in Gstaad. Besides, American's can't afford AT&T stuff anymore anyway, so why should he worry about us?
5000 mega enough for air card?
Is 5000 megabytes of data enough to use a wireless air card for MT work? I only have dial up and am considering getting an air card but it says that you only get 5000 megabytes a month. Is that enough for MT work, my husband gaming, and my kids being on the internet too? Will I go over the 5000 megabyte limit?
mega search site for med pros
this website can be searched by just a partial last name and wild card and the state. any medical professional MD, DO, NP, psych ... anyone who gets paid for medical services has to have a provider number from the gov. so their name is here. Also can search by group, i.e. clinic name, etc.
3 things: AAMT, mega-MTSOs, and
It's all about greed, and those three groups are the greediest.
XP Media
Might be the fact too that you are using XP Media and not XP Home or XP Pro
Owned for years
It is possible to own a home and I have owned 4 in the past 8 years. What I would do if your not sure (its advice my dad gave me many years ago) is try to buy something that would have payments in the range that you would have to pay if you paid rent. Then you know you can afford it. Either way, you have to live somewhere, whether it be renting or buying. Then once you find it easy to make those payments in a few years, you can sell and buy something a little bigger and nicer. Just a little advice that has helped me in the past. Hope it helps!
Don't believe the news media (sm)
You are so right. Everything is going up but our wages and it's happening all over. It is time for everyone to get their finances in order. We are all going to have to tighten our belts and get our finances in order and get rid of credit cards! 
No. Owned by a woman.

Is that still Indian owned by Jay?

Alert The Media
Do you think you could draw the attention of the media for this cause? Maybe there's a spunky investigative report who would want to get the story out.
Typical media; what do they know.

it is a form of media ...
for healthcare professionals. It has a circulation. It is readily available in schools. All media matters because what is in the media influences the way people think. I think it gives a negative view of us to those who call the shots over us who read it. That's why I think it matters.
I never knew who owned it before all this went down.

Have you ever owned a laptop?
The single biggest selling feature of a laptop is that they are...wait for it...portable. So much the same way I don't leave any valuable laying on the table when I go to the bathroom, my very portable laptop goes in with me. When I am in what I feel a safe, secure, environment to leave it at the table/desk, I time it so I am not in the middle of a report and close the lid, thereby requiring the password to get back into it. It does not require a degree in IT to take safety precautions.
This is HEARSAY from media and/or Mrs. Twitty.
You all quote media as if it should be written in stone. Obviously not enough credibility to hold this guy in jail for suspicion.
media play dictation
Anyone familiar with this? My doc is dictating via internet. It comes across on my media play and i can hear him but when i switch over to word there is no way to pause him from talking...........
MDI-Florida is owned by Transcend....sm
but is run as a separate company. MDI-MD is a separate company not owned by Transcend.
nope - OWNED BY FRANCE AND....sm
American Hospital in Paris is owned and run by the French...........they named it when they were still liking us.........*LOL*
MT Co owned by Hospital corp.?
How many MT companies are owned by hospital corporations or the hospital corp have a piece of MT companies? I ask this because some hospitals are only allowed to use certain MT companies. Is this a way of keeping wages down and/or them getting more $? Isn't there some kind of rule where doctors can't refer patient to a facility that they have part ownership of. Shouldn't this apply also?
Just wondering
ForuMatrix is owned by MTStars. (SM)
If you have complaints about ForuMatrix or about how MTStars is operating, etc., address them via e-mail to the Administrator (admin@mtstars.com) or myself (goldbird@mtstars.com).
Thank you,
Goldbird
Yes, it is still owned by Jay. Is this just for information or to goad that

USATasp is 100% US owned & operated.

Do you use a personally owned VR or is it with the company?? sm
Would like to know what VR programs are good for personal purchase.
Indian owned companies... sm
Have you ever worked for one? I have. All the easy work goes to India. The junk comes to the US-based MTs. I worked there for 2 years until I could take no more. Should have walked out on training. If you want an Indian-based company so badly, go for it. I can tell you first hand, though, you will eventually regret it. No offense intended, but I have lived it and will NEVER work for an Indian-owned company again, even if I have to leave transcription and go back to the office, God forbid!
The media will contact the AAMT
The AAMT will say the same old line about there not being enough US MTs. We need a good response for their lie.
I do have a 2nd job with US owned co. that I love. Foreign
s
We are a small, family-owned
company with all MTs and most management being ICs. There are only a handful of people in management and there are no bonuses for them. I personally work here because it's an amazing place to work - nothing else. We'd simply like to have a small reward for quarterly reviews to encourage accuracy. That's it. No hidden agenda or big, mean corporate people.
Thanks for your response, though!
Windows Media Player
Does anyone know if it is possible to use a pedal with the Windows media player? I am doing some test reports and have been unable to use my pedal to start, stop, and rewind. Without the pedal, this will take forever!
That's right, not American owned anymore.
YES IT IS OWNED BY A PAKISTANI DOCTOR. HE OR
SOME ONE ELSE KEEPS DELETING THE POSTS. I WILL KEEP AT IT THOUGH. GO TO MTSTARS.NET FOR ANSWERS.
No it hasn't. It's still owned by Ahmed
The money is owned no matter what you are
the question was whether you are employee or IC as very different approaches would be made to recover $$
It plays in Windows Media but..
I first get a message that it is not a recognized extension.
I would worry about them on any puter owned by a company

I'm not surprised that the media is trying to "spin" him into a hero
but he's unqualified and unethical. The tourists that were there were able to pay him to let them out of there first, plain and simple. Once again, consider the source.
Hero my foot.
It's all part of the media's waging war on Christians
They have now pulled out all stops and have no problem making us all look like a bunch of bible-banging hicks if we speak our minds.
Help with taking test with media player
Hi there....I have to take a test using Windows Media Player and I can't figure out how to type in Word and still be able to use the keyboard keys (no foot pedal yet). If anyone could help it would be much appreciated.
Microsft digital media keyboard
I just bought the above keyboard. I plugged into my dell computer and the functions like zoom in and out and my favorites do not seem to work. I cannot find any directions other that what is in the box. What am I doing wrong.
Media Player/DSS format questions
This subject brings me to the problem I am having right now. I have a WAV pedal program which my doctor and I just started using. Going fine. Then all of a sudden he changes his format and sent me a file with a WMA and it came up in the Media Player. Oh, I saved the attachment in MY WAV files, but also have an archive file set up also. It did not come up in MY WAV files, but thank goodness did automatically come up in the archive part in the Media Player, and I could not get it to work with my pedal either, so literally had to listen and stop, re-listen, and type, etc. It took me 3 1/2 hours to do a 20 minute job! I get so frustrated as I am not IS literate. Now he has told me that he will be sending everything in DSS format and that I should go to a particular website and download so that I can get into it. Well he did not give me a model number, so cannot seem to get a download without it. But this also makes me wonder where and how I should be setting up things to find the documents and where/how to save them. Any tips are appreciated. TIA
Try this plug-in for Windows Media Player. sm
It looks like the .dvf file is a Sony recorder file. You don't say why the file needs to be converted to .dss and I'm not even sure that you can because .dss is proprietary to Olympus. Maybe this plug-in will be of some help to you. Let us know.
I got a Microsoft Digital Media Pro keyboard - sm
at Office Depot... not very expensive, (maybe $39?), and it has a great feature... a little lever off on the left side of the keyboard that if you want the letters to appear larger, you push it up, and smaller, you push it down. Only takes 1 finger. I LOVE it! :)
I would reverse the media player back
and see if that corrects the problem. If so, you might either decide you don't need the upgrade or contact Windows about a fix...
Make sure your plug is all the way in - sometimes it looks like it is but isn't seated.
Just do a restore to the day before you did the upgrade - or if you are uncomfortable with this uninstall the software and test your headphones...
just a thought.
Puleeze, the media is too worried bout being

No, you cannot use a foot pedal with Media Player.
Try downloading Express Scribe; it's free.
If it is a windows media audio file just .....sm
drag it into your open gear player box. You should be able to play the windows media file there, and use your foot pedal.
Will the file play in Windows Media or QT? ..nm

Yes, not only are they Indian owned & offshore, they are horribly rude.
I had the worst experience when a male worker verbally attacked me in a very chauvenistic manner.
Nope, my computer is owned by the hospital I work for, and does not even

All ForuMatrix forums are owned by the same company. The songs that were
posted on the Holiday/Recipe forum were posted erroneously and have been removed.
