Don't you know that you can DEACTIVATE your current OS when you upgrade to the next level? Obviously not. But then, most people here don't seem to be all that computer literate. I asked a couple of computer questions below which got absolutely NO answer.
Don't go jumping to conclusions that someone is a "scammer" and "ruining it for everyone else" until you do your homework.

There are real people at these places? lol nm
Thanks!
Some people have no friends in the real world and seem to see
their social circle. Quite sad. They need to get out more.
Perhaps, but real time chat is fun too.

Real-Time Captioners
It does sound like a neat job. This website says they are hiring. They need captioners for real-time media and news. You have to type fast!
http://www.captioncolorado.com/
Sounds like a real high IQ broad here - people like this give the industry a bad name
I use Bayscribe and I'm pretty sure it IS real time.

Teleconference Real-time transcription
 Has anyone heard of this type of transcription? I assume it is kind of like closed captioning, but wondered what kind of company it would be for and if it can be done from home. There is a blind posting in a local newspaper in Illinois. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!
Have no problem with camp - its what she said about night time that reflects her real
parenting attitude. She gets a double bonus cause they're tired at night and she doesn't have to deal with them. That's the horrible statement, but the one she REALLY meant. Now that I called her on it, she's gonna change it to they bake cookies or sing by the camp fire together at night....Please!
She's got a real good way about her, doesn't she??!!! nm

Maybe they didn't here real good.

Welcome to the real world. Good MTs do it every day!
If you are an IC nothing has to get ignored. There is a time for kids and a time for work. Get real, it happens!
I got a REAL present for MT week from my part time employer. I love it!
The real shortage is good MTSOs
First of all, congratulations to you for having the guts to stick up for your convictions. I am really proud of you for telling them like it is. There is no shortage of good MTs, there is, however, a shortage of good MTSOs and national MT companies. Fortunately, we have boards like this one to tell us who those are, the ones who pay peanuts, the ones with inferior equipment/platforms, and the ones who outsource their work overseas and think the foreign MTs are "far superior" to the American MTs. Most of us experienced MTs who have been in this business for any length of time, would not work for them. The ones who cry that "there are no more good American MTs" are the ones who are outsourcing overseas or otherwise abusing their employees - that is why they have such a hard time attracting "Good MTs." They need to look in the mirror to see the reasons why!
Any For Real Good MT Schools in Houston?
I'm looking for a real good MT school or some sort of MT on the job training or willing to train a person to work out of home. Have been LVN since 1984 but now disable, need something to do out of home. Please reply, disability not enough income. Thanks!

Once you are real good, you can think about supper, lists,
I know that sounds nonproductive and error prone, but it's entirely doable. The work can take up your limbic system, and your upper cortex can solve the problems of the world. I can read notices on my cubby wall, and never falter typing, and get it perfectly right.
Well I, for one apparently, don't think that's a real good idea.
I definitely don't think you should be checking yourself into a strange motel alone for a week with all that medication on hand, now Oxy, Pherngan and Xanan? You really probably should be under a doctor's supervision, but that's just my opinion. At least you'll be near a hospital. Good luck.
1400 - that's about my limit - and a real good day

Thats real good. I wish I had that offer! nontender
What an awesome post. Real good
advice.
rude people? I would take good pay over polite people any day
Besides that they have never been rude to me and I have been here for almost 2 years. What do you consider a bad account?
I know my account is a little tough, but I am used to it. I am tough!
Cook it real slow at real low heat; simmer, don't boil.

Especially for Iowa, that is pretty good. UI can get good over time, but that's because of the u
People do it all the time...
just make sure you're not short-changing your employer(s). If you're good at what you do and want to put in the time to do it right, what's the problem???
I do believe she is good enough, and has more than proved that time and time again. NM

I do ops all the time too and HATE them. Why do people like them? sm
Give me a 10 minute discharge, ER, consult, H&P any day. I always wondered why people liked OP notes with all of the different equipment terms and such.
What irritates me is that people on here actually take the time to answer her
Why not? Other MT boards refer people here all the time?
Are we supposed to just pretend other sites don't exist?
Those people obviously do not work full time or want to
make a good living. I would work at McDonald's before I would let someone take my house. If someone is not making enough money in this field, it is them, not the industry. Tired of everyone tip-toeing around this issue. The money is there but you need to buckle down and do the work. Stop whining and start working.
No but I wish people would take the time to find this information. sm
Sometimes it just takes the effort to look. I see people wanting information. The information is easy to find, but they want others to do the research and hand it to them. I had to do the research. I now have 20+ docs/clinics BUT key point is I did all of my own research, learned about how digital works, etc. I truly believe, the more you read (research) the more you as an individual will learn and therefore be able to offer your clientm more.
Geez people! Why are some of you so nasty all of the time? SM
I don't think having your husband be the IC and hiring you is the the way to go. It's too convoluted. What you can do is apply and test for jobs under your husband's name. That way on paper he has the job. Then you just do the work. The paychecks come in his name. That way he doesn't have to "hire" you. You can earn as much as you want.
I wouldn't worry about Uncle Sam too much. He's been screwing all of us for years. What he doesn't know won't hurt him. Of course, now you've posted it in a public forum...
I second this suggestion. Just pick a time zone and let people know. (nm)

The worst problem with MQ is running people out of work all the time.
:
People should have powdered formula/mild. Mix it up one bottle at a time.

I don't know of any store in my area that hires people full-time.
That includes Walmart, K-mart, grocery stores, etc. So I guess it's all slave labor. In fact, any transcription company that does not hire employees must also be the same. They certainly save themselves a lot of money under the guise of Independent Contractors, don't they?
Some people like to keep a Time Clock thing showing on their monitors, too. But

This message is defining what VBC is! It's time people realize the American MTs...
are our own worst enemies. VBC is NOT a good thing! I personally think we should get paid per keystroke.
Why do so many people LOVE operative notes? I see posts about it all the time...
how they make good money on them, they could do them all day, feel cheated when they don't get them? I have been doing this for years and years and still kind of groan when I see them come up on my screen. Fill me on the secrets and maybe I won't whine so much when I do them. Thanks gal!
not good with people either, so that really
The thought of working for the public just makes me cringe. How do waitresses, cashiers, etc., put on that happy face all day long? Props to them.
Some people (definitely NOT me) are good at SM
ESLs and know that companies will usually pay more per line for ESL accounts.
I personally would want to commit hari kari (sp?) if I had to do ESLs day in and day out. JMHO.
Chickadee
Lot's of people work for cheatin companies. They bide their time and strike when they can.
As for me, I have joined a class action law suit on behalf of shareholders and MTs. Double whammy. Not too dumb. By the way, don't you have some managing to do or are you on duty all day to try to make MTs think MQ is AOK and everything else going on around them financially is just a figment of their imagination. 
A computer's OS (operating system) is only meant for a 1 time install on 1 pc. People like yours
who abuse this are just looking for a cheap break, jack up the price (theoretically speaking) for the rest of us, and are asking for a myriad of problems on their pcs. To deter this behavior, about 1 year ago, many computer companies ceased to include all software when packaging the pc for shipment. It is because of software abuse/misuse, computers that are delivered with a pre-installed OS are delivered without the OS + other necessary software, due to behaviors such as yours and many others. However, if you call the company and verbally request all software: OS (installation CD), as well as other necessary software (tools systems, drivers, diagnostics, utilities, print driver, internet security, and WP/Word/Excel, et al), they will gladly send it to you free of charge.
YEP, and some people have good taste and....sm
and some others have NO taste/class....*lol* 
Yes there are people actually good enough to hit 98% accuracy. Happens every day!!!!! sm
QA has only become a real job in the last 10 years. Before that there was 1 QA person for every roughly 100 MTs!!!
Of course it was - too many people still believe we went there for a good reason. nm

what some people have to do to feel good about themselves
"What do you all do when you have to type an expletive? I am working on an account where this comes up often. I refuse to type the actual expletive so I usually just put (expletive) and go on. No one has ever said anything, but I was curious as to what everyone else does."
That was my ORIGINAL POST. I wanted to know what any other MT in the field did regarding expletives. I didn't ask you to judge my character. I didn't need anyone telling me to "put my big girl panties on." All I was looking for was for you all to tell me what you did in that situation. I guess it makes you feel good to pound on a person rather than address the inital question - if that's what you need to do, then so be it. I am not new to the field. Been an MT for over 10 years and have never typed an expletive, though it hasn't come up often. Found this board and am mostly a lurker and thought I would finally run it by some others. Should have just kept it to myself. No wonder I like being an MT - you don't have to deal with other people very often.
Go ahead and feed the piranhas if that's what gets you through your day.
Bad. Good pay, but bad accounts and rude people
stay away IMO
I know people who have not had such good luck online
But good for you!!!
Good 4U! Fellow people-pleaser here LOL.nm
Thank you, sounds like you work for good people....
I think no matter where you go it has its little ups and downs. Have a good day and thank you for responding.
Of course, it is only as good as the people entering the data...
Also, when computers make mistakes, or are hit with malicious worms or viruses, etc., it could be devastating, could it not?
Also, more and more lately we are noticing actually a lot more mistakes with things that are automated, and once there is an error, it has been extremely difficult to get it corrected. Such as - errors at the DMV (?), errors in our car computer (? - again, it is always a mystery when trying to get things fixed), lets see, then there is the mixup with our phone number that belongs to about three other people (still not fixed because we are told it is all done on computer (?)...
Also, who takes responsiblity when there is an error, because with everything automated, there seems to be little or no accountability - you can hardly get through to real people in a lot of businesses today.
The idea of technology is awesome; however human error will always have an affect...
my humble opinion and just an observation. most information still has to be entered by humans. perhaps we will be obsolete.
Good advice but some people refuse to
split "amicably." I know for a fact in my case it would be a blame game and a huge mess. Been there many times and resorted to other ways of handling it. I wonder if what you suggested would still work for me?
Not the OP but helped by your advice.
Thanks,
me
