they are a survivor, being applauded, revered. What about you not do it in the first place? This person is saying lost everything due to not wanting to work, went down the drain, housing, vehicles, everything. I am so over the hill and thank goodness, always had enough gumption just to work and make it. What about some applause for people who never do drugs, who raise children without snorting or kicking a drug habit and who are upstanding all the way around? Oh well, guess that is too much to ask, just want to say what a survivor out of someone who really just had no get up and go. Unreal....

save a generic dictation, sit the person at your desk and tell them to type what they hear

Sounds like a good indicator of a domineering person
Probably best you avoided her, even if she is good.
The top talent isn't always worth all the fluffing it takes to get them to sit down and do their job! lol
You know, that sounds really neat. What kind of stuff do you hear? sm
Any recommendations if I ever want to get one? What kind do you have?
thanks!
You crack me up.
You guys crack me up
Come on now, cottage cheese is not very inventive, but it is a good suggestion. The bell pepper thing sounded great too, but feeding too many kids for that to go over well I think. Maybe a Ceasar sald and bread with it is all I really need. Don't cook for people very often.
Thanks. I think I'll take a crack at it. I need a new

probably crack the mirror......LOL.....nm

no you crack me up. if you are on mq payroll, you should really take a cut. not to clever to not
be able to disguise alias when trying to devise a multiple personality back-up to your multiple posts backing MQ. LOL. Nice try! 
you guys crack me up. Can you give me
advice on a chair? Need extra cushy seat.
It says nothing... It only says that some people seek out crack pot

Can someone PLEASE call the white coats with the net for this crack pot?

KD, are you on crack - very few people make $50,000/year - sm
I make about $58,000, but I work my butt off doing it, have 18 years experience. You sound like a Sally Struthers ad when you make a comment like that! Next thing you know, you will be telling this woman that she can breastfeed her child while she is transcribing and have another one sitting on her lap!!
I do love this job, but I tell people to expect to make at least $25,000-$30,000/year.
Ghost crack maybe? Is he talking about a healed fracture?

I didn't care 4 that crack, young lady!
Hayseed, you crack me up! I LOVE your posts & your humor!
:)
Curious, did Dog speak at the AAMT convention & if so what did he say? Don't smoke crack?

I work for the person. I know. Very excellent person, personally and business-sense.
It is an INSULT to have QA hovering over seasoned MTs who know what they are doing. She trusts her MTs and again if there are questions there is one person, a trainer, who can answer them via phone, e-mail or instant message or you can send the whole report to them if you choose.
Point was is the person willing to make up for the slack of the person who types 1 job when there is
if that is all they WANT to type. Is the person who wants to be a supervisor willing to make up for those people?
You have crap supervisors, editors and mts in the business like you have good ones. Sadly, the really good ones of all of them are few and far between.
Brain dead today - or is it hear hear? I'm going to bed.

Marry me?! :) Seriously...hear, hear. Good post. - nm

When you have a QA person that is picky and another QA person that is very lenient where does that
leave the MTs because some are getting a lenient reviewer and others are getting one that picks at everything. How do you reconcile that issue with the difference in QA mentality. Some people make out well and the other people could be just as good but dont. I wonder about that.
The person MTSO pays is the person who
dsf
Hear, hear! I agree with Dakota - sm
The MTSO should be giving feedback to the hospital/doctors who slur, speak too rapidly, etc. They need to pull up their socks! And there's no reason why these doctors shouldn't be given an outline of what is expected from them when they dictate, such as cell phones, chewing food, candy, gum, etc.
One person's "custom" is another person's
"house arrest". I'd never go to the Middle East because of how they treat women. I don't agree with their laws or "justice" system. For example, the woman who was gang raped as punishment for the actions of her 12-year-old brother, a boy who wasn't even an adult. How's that for a "custom"? Let's not forget bride burning. Burqas.
Besides, foreigners don't follow our "customs" when they come to this country. Half of them don't even bother learning English. Instead, we're expected to pay for healthcare and foodstamps for illegals and print everything in Spanish.
I won't be oppressed or treated as a second class citizen, and I wouldn't treat others like that either. A "custom" is more like putting up a Christmas tree, not being abused based on your gender.
i'm sure it will vary from person to person.
I recently did the same thing and am loving it! The freedom from time clocks, the better company, make losing the benefits well worth it to me. You need to set up a plan to have $ set aside for taxes though. I should have done this years ago!
Wrong person. I'm not the person you were
any money. You have a sucky attitude, a "poor me" attitude. Get off your lazy whiny a$$ and work instead of complaining and you will make money. I have one account at 10.5 cpl, two at 14 cpl and one at 15 cpl. I make a lot of money, even on the 10.5 cpl. But I'm not sitting around whining either. And I didn't whine when I made $6 an hour.
The one person I know who his doing VR....
isn't filling in words, she's having to reconfigure and restructure to the entire report, to the point it would be much easier and faster to just transcribe it. And over several months' time, it hasn't gotten one iota better. I'll believe the "fill in the word" editing when I see it.
like the person below said------
no friend of medical transcriptionists for one thing
and when I met her my only thought was well that must have been
the personification of Marian the Librarian.
I would have thought she'd have retired to a garden pruning weeds by now and gotten her extremism out of our lives. But no such luck.
This person cannot
do anything unless he has a document that was signed by your daughter indicating that he loaned her money using the motorcycle as collateral. To get this person to leave you alone, you may want to have an attorney give this person a call to pose this question (regarding signed doc). I have had a situation occur, not necessarily like yours, but I needed an attorney to write a letter in order to cease the situation and the attorney only charged my $50. The letter took care of the problem.
This person (Taz) is
a perfect example of what I just stated. This world is going to hell in an elaborately decorated hand basket.
So one person (YOU) is MOST MT's?
I make more than you do anyway and I left MT so LOL yourself and good luck finding a job in 5-10 years when this one goes the way of the mule skinner.
wonder if it's the same person?
From VA?
8:20 a.m. - and I'm an a.m. person!!! nm

QA person here(sm)
I QA by cutting and pasting the error; preferably as much of the sentence as I can so they at least have an idea of what I am correcting and why. I also cut and paste my corrections. I also give them hints on how to research, including links.
I'm not sure that (d) up there sounds very nice. New MTs CAN be taught a great deal, but to have that "edge" on them only scares them more. I've been on both ends, as a beginning MT and as QA. I remember the feedback that helped me most and it was often delivered in a friendly helpful manner, no warning shots, etc.
As the other person said, Go For It!
It was supposed to be a 2 year course at the Community College, but the way that the courses were setup and with working, took me 2 1/2 years. Not bad for an *ol' gal!* Was just very proud of myself because at the time, I had a hunch that some people around me were thinking *she'll never do it,* and I did, with flying colors!! I'm sure you have some support behind you, so you should be good to go!! Anyway, if you don't do it, you'll always be wondering *what if,* so just do it!! Like a friend asked me, "But I'll be 10 years older when I finish?!" My answer, "You'll be 10 years older if you don't." LOL!
I'm not so sure it's that person....sm
It could be anyone of about a hundred malcontents. You cannot *assume* on these boards - only the Administrator and Moderators could verify if it's that poster or not. Personally, I don't care who the posters are in reality. I just think what with all the strife going on in the world EVERYWHERE that people/posters should just be a tad kinder in the life.
Envy is fine - envy is like you're happy for that person but wish you were *there* - whereas jealousy (albeit it might be universal) is very unhealthy and nasty, negative, and people wishing to take other people down notches by posting nasty remarks. Oh well, some people just are more comfortable with the negative and nasty in life (guess their cups are always half empty) - but some of us choose to be positive and not nasty (cups being half full). It's all a matter of choice.
Take care and have fun!!
Go by in person??

QA person from MQ please
Hi I have a friend considering changing compaines and coming in as a QA person. She is on the fence can anyone give me some feedback is MQ QA any good, what and how do they pay...Do they treat you ok? She is in the grass is greener syndrome working at another co. I just left MQ for another field I wasn't happy as an MT. Trying to help out a friend thats all..
QA Person
Thank you so much! I feel so much better having heard from you today. I have had the hyphen battle with this person in QA forever it seems and I have continued to follow as shown in the Book of Style. In my heart of hearts I felt I was correct. I plan to take your much appreciated advice and keep typing it the way I have been. I am so thrilled to know that a person in QA agrees that at times the MT gets mixed signals. Now I do not feel so alone. At times I wonder if some people in QA forget how it was before they were in those shoes. I have 2+ years experience and at times I still feel like a newbie fresh out of school. Just wish some QA would be more tolerant -- especially when the MT really does follow the Book of Style. Thanks again!!! Bless you!!! Wish you were my QA . . . at least you seem like you can still relate to how difficult the MT work can be on the otherside of the fence.
Said something about 6 cpl from a person
whose English was atrocious. This person really should pay someone to hire them.
This person is not looking for *help*. sm
She is looking for employees by asking for help and then sending you an email asking for your resume. something suspicious here.
this person is probably just......
trying to protect his or her own job security, so the company does not get job overhire! I would probably do the same. I found my own really good job after 7 years of searching, and I LOVE IT!
I'd tell her RIGHT NOW that the person isn't
if you are going to continue to proof her work. No sense in dragging it out. If someone is going to make it as an MT, you know that fairly quickly.
Please tell me what a person is doing
when the scope is used. I have seen it and do not know exactly what they are doing. Thanks.
You are not the same person.

Maybe the only person they could get who would - (sm)
"speak for 6 cents a line?"
MT person
Well in 4 hours I did over 1600 lines @.125 per line plus one hour of printing and delivering and that equals over $200 which equals $40 to $50 per hour.
And to think we would allow this person to

The person who said she could do 700 lph

I got one from the same person
Named Susan also written very poorly and asking odd questions. It's aggravating!
from a QA person
A lot of the changes you see are out of our hands. Where I work, the management people change their mind weekly, mark this, no don't mark it, mark that, no don't. Plus remembering what to mark for offshores (who get their little hands held) and what to mark for ICs. Yes there are some QA people out there who get on a power trip by making you feel bad. If everybody followed one set of rules, such as the book of style, we wouldn't be having these problems, and neither would you. It's such a pain in the tush, if my hands weren't so bad, I'd go back to transcribing!!
