The RMT is just in beta now
and is meaningless, in any case. Very few employers care whether MTs have a CMT or RMT or whatever. Even fewer even know what a CMT is, and it's a sure thing no one's heard of RMT. The whole certification thing is simply a power grab by AAMT. Their goal is to sponsor legislation in every state that will force every MT to be certified to be employed. Since the AAMT is the only organization offering "certification", guess who will benefit from the whopping fees they will charge to take the test?
what is this beta-thing...
RMT Beta Exam
How many of you are taking the beta exam for the RMT credential? Are you planning to take the final version after beta testing, or will you not take it at all? I'm curious. I received email notice that they have openings until June 1st. Should I bother? I know that many companies ask whether or not we are certified, but do you think it will come to their asking if we are an RMT also? Any and all opinions welcome. Thanks!

I work as a beta tester and they pay me to do it.

I don't believe anyone would pay the 90-somethng bucks to do a beta SM
test which is practically useless.
Well I too have been selected for the beta test-sm
I am absolutely thrilled about this test and once I have 2 years acute care experience I will write the CMT as well. To me it is very well worth the $95 US to write the test, even the beta test. This is something that I would like to achieve.
No, it is not for everyone. No, not everyone wants to spend $$ to take a test. We all have different ideas of what is right for us. For me I want to have those letters behind my name. In a couple of years I would like to trade them in for the CMT.
I know that there are many here who dislike AAMT and are stongly opposed to many of the things that they are doing but I have got to tell you I have gained so much by being a member of AAMT and especially the Online Chapter of AAMT.
If you don't like the fact that there is offshoring going on well that is too bad...it is here and it is probably here to stay. What we can do is offer credentially, such as the RMT, for those in other countries as well so that the can be required to meet a certain level of education and training. I know I gonna get yelled at here for this one, but this is my opinion.
Beta test? Can you elaborate on this a little bit more?

I think it's nuts that it's still in beta test but we still would have to PAY to take it. sm
If I'm helping YOU develop your product, I should not be paying! When game developers need people to beta test their games....the game company PAYS THE TESTER! AAMT is absolutely out of their minds.
I tested the beta version
I enjoy using the software. I work in InScribe over half the day and have tons of shortcuts in there. Until now, I could not use those shortcuts in other programs. I imported the InScribe shortcut file to Ditto and now I use those shortcuts in WordPerfect and Word. The shortcuts work in e-mail, also. The pop-ups are not annoying - they go away after a few seconds if you do not respond to them. You can do functions with it, also. I have not tried whole blocks of text. For me, it's worth the price. I think you can download and try it before purchase.
Beta testers needed for MPLite
The beta testing for MPLite has been going well. Phase 3 of the beta testing will begin on Wed or Thurs of this week.
We are soliciting 2 or 3 additional volunteers for this final phase of beta testing, and anticipate this phase to last no longer than a week. Volunteers should be experienced working transcriptionists, but not so busy that they don't have time to read the help file, and set things up in MPLite. We need the testers to actually work in the program, and not just look at it.
Testers will receive MPLite free of charge, and all subsequent releases of MPLite free of charge. If you have the interest and the time to assist us, please send an email to support@mpword.com
Most likely, MPLite will be a the most popular program we have ever produced. For a preview of it, see our website:

Best wishes,
Vann Joe
Beta is usually a program that is in the development stage
where lots of people use the program to test it out to help make it better and fix all the bugs before the final release.
Anyone else get an email from aamt about REGISTERED MT beta test?
Seems pretty stupid to me.
U love beta fish? Aren't those the ones that kill
I remember my exhusband always had Japanese beta fish when we were married. As I recall, if my memory serves me well, these specific male fish impregnate the female fish and then when she has the babies, the beta (male) squeezes all life out of the mom and kills her after she has the babies. Just the idea of this made me hate this type of fish 4ever.
Just one person's opinion though! No flaming please! *LOL*
Henry's such a cute name, and I love beta fish
