Same here, although I won't be spending it on a trip to China
I do disagree about not being good at MT though. I think many competent MTs shoot themselves in the foot by not recognizing the value of their skills and working for less than they are worth.
its a tool like macros, you have to teach it to understand you and edit at first the words it does
What I understand is, it helps out if you have body parts that are giving out, but it will not, say.. double your production.
Lots of 'em, but use a Lab Words, Sted's Ortho/Rehab Words, & Tessier's Surgical Words most

even I am speechless
..-..-..-..-
Speechless?
Considering the hundreds of millions of dollars MQ brings in per year, I stand by my comments that 20000 is not all that generous. I do not make close to half a billion a year, so considering my income and what my family donated, it was a higher percentage by far in the income versus donation ratio! So a big fat SO THERE to you. Perhaps if you were smart enough to do the math, you may have realized that. LOL!
im actually speechless; even this is too much for me

Same here SPEECHLESS !..nm

wow! totally speechless
That is horrible! I'm speechless. nm
xx
Jeez Louise! I am speechless. What happened to her pro-US stance?
I dont know whether to laugh or cry.
You literally have nothing better to do????
How can you call yourself a professional and say those things then if you are not jealous? You are really showing some style here, let me tell ya'? You sound so classy! NOT!
MQ Rules, literally! Go MQ!

NO! NO! That is so weird. I literally just got off the
phone calling Frontline with the SAME THING and asking details on cat treatment then after I went out and bought some. I got a really nice girl! NO - dog flea products are often fatal to cats. I have 2 adorable rescue kittens who are loaded with fleas. We have been waiting til they were old enough for Frontline, and I'm short of cash too, so was thinking of fudging with the dogs' Frontline that I have extra of!! Good luck! Meow!
The type where you literally (sm)
can't tell if they are saying black or white?? How do they do that? Working in an office, we could have 4 different MTs listen, and 2 would think the dictator said the patient was black and 2 would think he said white. Grrrrr.
I knew because I could literally hear it
I could hear the explosion(s) from where I lived, plus the hubby called me because he was on the bridge and he could see one of the Towers burst into flames. But I totally understand feeling kept in the dark. I don't remember anyone from my account calling me or discussing it with me. The first attack (when a truck exploded in the garage, I think, of the World Trade Center years before), I didn't find out about til I turned on the TV that night. I totally understand the isolation factor.
I had literally thousands of viruses using that.
It broke a record for what my computer guys had seen. I use TrendMicro now.
4000+ lines a day is literally not possible.
The MT companies are ripping MTs off with VR. It takes nearly as long, and in some cases longer, to edit and correct VR reports as it does to straight type them, and to pay half (or some horrible companies pay only a third!) of the line rate is completely unfair and unethical.
You'll need a lab words book and maybe the Derm and Immunology Words..nm

She may be an MTSO, but I knew an MT who literally typed 18 hrs a day.

"It's all about me" - nature of the beast - literally

when I post a job, I get literally hundreds of responses
- that's without offshore-- and people with good skills and experience are willing to work anywhere from 18 cpl to 12 cpl to 6 cpl. So I would say yes, the field is becoming increasingly more competitive
You are taking it literally, which is not what I meant. I would rather not pay the highest price
out there, as I'm on a budget.
I have actually loaded it from the testing the company sent and have literally gone in and deleted i
the pedal just works terribly. I will wait until the tech guy calls me today and see if he can figure it out. If not, well then I am not sure what I can do.
Yeah! After 11 years of it, I'm so sick of it I could literally scream, and that's no joke!
And these docs who dictate faster than the speed of sound, like they could give a rat's butt because they're in too big of a hurry to get out on the golf course, I like to strangle with my own bare hands. I'd like to tell them all what I really think about them. Truly, I have zip respect for 99.9% of the doctors out there today, who seem completely incompetent. How they manage to get out of med school I'll never know! 
China?
Costco owned by China you say?
So what? SO WHAT?????
5000
see the discussion on the company board. 5000 lines a day to be transcribed by a combination of several people
I just left China
Actually, I just left China. Poor old souls. Not many pretty women in China.
I needed to get home to the states to see all the beautiful women. I felt like I was intoxicated when I came through the door at Medquist and saw all my beautiful gals.
Sara Lee in China?
I'm also hearing that Sara Lee, you know, cakes and pastries? Well they also have many of their products made in CHINA now!!!
yep, it's china - who will take over world by
google that subject......if you so desire....about China taking over the entire world (not in my lifetime thankfully) by 2039-2040.
I remember when I was 12 years old, a chinese restaurant in White Plains, NY, that my folks took us too all the time, was closed down because they found dog and cat bones in their trash.
LOL - in another 25 years China will be
If indeed more co. using China labor we need
x
Not the least of the borrowed $$ from China is for...sm
of course, those stimulus checks! Does that make sense to anybody? Not me in this credit-card-driven economy. This is starting to catch up with this country. Some day very soon, trust me, we are going to be owned by other countries - or just plain bankrupt and barely scratching by. My thoughts (from some research I've done) are that this will be yet another third-world country, thanks in the largest part to Bush and his wasteful spending on everything but this country or its citizens!!! Such a sad state of affairs!
oops....cant spell today, supposed to be literally, not litterally. I added a T too many. hehe. nm
x
sure - that's like 400 lph ~ 5000 lines per day
.
5000 a month
It is actually quite possible to do. I work for a small transcription business and one of our transcritionist averages $1900 to $2000 a week. She takes advantage of her ESP/shortcut program and makes templates for everything. So it can be done.
Parents just had them done at $5000 an eye. nm
s
Yea, and I do 5000 a day in a 6 hour day...
:-)
5000 lines per day VR?
Hi all. Anyone think is it possible to edit 5000 lines per day of VR? This is on a very low ESL account?
The new company I have gone with have a 5000 daily line count requirement for editing VR files. Just curious if it is possible! I am getting nervous!!
5000 lines a day?
Is that possible? I mean 1200 I thought was full time?
5000 lines per day???
Obviously this guy doesn't have a clue. Most nationals want between 1000 to 1200 lines minimum 65 character line with spaces.
Maybe he is talking about a 35 character line or better yet a 25 character line with spaces.
Check it out, maybe it's lucrative! LOL
2500/wk PT or 5000/wk FT
basically breaks down to 500 day PT, 1000 day FT.
2500/wk PT, 5000/wk FT
that's all my company requires. Plus we get tiered incentives for anything over 1000 per day.
those who can't do....teach
There is a HUGE difference between reading what someone else has already deciphered versus being the one who is deciphering it at 140 words per minute. The bottom line is that we all make mistakes because we are paid on production - not because we are ignorant or guessing or whatever unprofessional nonsense they choose to call it. As for the comment about not spelling physician names correctly (cities, schools, etc.), we do not get paid by the hour to search for these things - QA people do or they are getting paid for lines they do not type to compensate their time. There is no cause for unprofessionalism or personal attacks. I do not appreciate commentary. I don't appreciate remarks about punctuation, grammar etc. particulary when it comes from someone who doesn't understand what an independent clause is, a complete sentence and so on. Passing on their infinite wisdom because it is what they "were taught" isn't valid - back it up and I don't mean with the BOS, which basically boils down to someone else's opinion. I find the QA people contradict themselves left and right, contradict each other, contradict the account manager and most importantly contradict account specifics, and some contradict the doctors themselves. Very few have come across my path that were friendly, helpful or even knowledgeable. They just often have misplaced confidence in "understanding" the word no else can...I find it better to err on the side of caution if it is a word of substance; if it is not, move on. Perhaps, QA should respectfully mentor the newbies, give feedback to MTs who make repeated mistakes and otherwise take a supporting role in helping MTs to produce quality documents, instead of getting into a p1ssing contest.
How do you teach someone s/m
who has been typing since age 16 to now only put 1 space after a period instead of 2? That's going to take a LONG time to break that habit.
Used to be machinist, until all the jobs went to china. NM

dog abuse in China story
Listen . . . .what is your real posting name anyway?
My priorities are not your concern. It is a well known fact that people who abuse animals easily go on to violent behavior against people. If clubbing innocent dogs to death doesn't bother you, it should. There are much better ways to deal with a rabies problem than that. Perhaps instead of ranting about my priorities, maybe you could put your energy toward helping create a solution for the abuse of innocent childern or one of the other million problems going on in the world. What ARE YOU doing to help make the world a better place?
killing of dogs in China
Please click on the following link to help stop the killing of the dogs in China in such a horrible inhumane way. Thank you.

thank you for the dogs in China link
We CAN make a difference - thank you.
"How to off-shore MT to China?"...
Why in the WORLD would they be involved with something in China, unless they are planning to assist them with taking MORE of our work????? I can see it now . . . first China, then India, Pakistan...on and on. We can pay to watch them put us out of work. Yipee. "American" was taken out of the name for obvious reasons.
Especially their interest in CHINA, of all places. -sm
Look at what's been coming out of there already - poison pet food, poison people food, badly made and dangerous children's toys, flimsy everything else, etc. They try to bend the rules on just about everything they make & export.
Imagine the quality of their medical transcription.....
[* SHUDDER! *] :/
not only that, last week 172 miners in China
and they say China will take over the world in 2039-2040.....thankfully and hopefully by then I'll be longgggggggggggggg gone....*lol*
