Opinion needed-New to IC Full time career
I'd like anyone's opinion on getting started as a new full time MT.
I am a new stay at home mom with two small children, one 3mo old and a 7yr old. Until recently, I worked in a hospital/clinic setting for 10+ years. Having gotten most of my MT experience on the job, I am now looking to trade in corporate america for working full time out of my home.
I see a lot of job listings that require roughly a 6000 line count weekly quota and they also ask about your preferrd shift. Currently my level is at half that much, as I was only doing IC work partime for a friend. Also, when doing IC work, I am used to working around my schedule and not a consecutive 8 hour workshift.
My questions are (1.) Is 6000 lines/wk the norm for what is out there or are there more flexible companies out there? (2.) Given my current work level of 1500 lines per week, am I doomed to be unemployed if I don't increase my productivity to what I have been seeing lately which is 6000 or if I can't work "shift" work?
Opinion needed-New to IC Full time career
Thank you guys for the info. That helps put things into perspetive for me!
Therapy for what? Because I don't support any woman who spouts an idea because she is a woman?
And you fall into the "therapy" or drug routine? Why not address the issues. You want women to support women no matter how ridiculous the idea is or you want to support a truth, no matter who tells it. The rest of the "therapy" crap you post is BS. You must know that by now.
CAREER versus JOB--lovin' my CAREER
Career definition:
1. an occupation or profession, esp. one requiring special training, followed as one's lifework:
2. a person's progress or general course of action through life or through a phase of life, as in some profession or undertaking.
3. success in a profession, occupation, etc.
Job definition:
1. A specific task done as part of one's occupation or for an agreed price
2. post of employment; full-time or part-time position: She was seeking a job as an editor.
3. anything a person is expected or obliged to do; duty; responsibility.
Hence, medical transcription requires special training. This is a CAREER.
The report we transcribe is a job with a job number.
I love this CAREER and am proud to be in my 12th year as a medical transcriptionist. I'm not rich, but my consistent $18 to $20 per hour equivalent is pretty darn good in this small town where the cost of living is pretty low.
LOVING MY CAREER!!!! :)
Career? this thing is not a career anymore...sm
this is a sweat shop job right up there with all the illegal sweat shops out there.
Right now, i have no other choice but to do this "job" because with my disabilities, no other place will hire me and I especially cannot work out of the home anymore. Until I can get disability, I guess I will continue to do this job, until we are all phased out by Indian MTs and VR.
By applying your logic, that would mean that those of you
on this board who hate George Bush actually want to sleep with him? Ewwww!
Let's apply your logic here once again.
OK. So now people who don't like skanky celebrities think the celebs are their friends? ROFL! Please, keep posting. It's quite amusing. The more you post, the more you reveal your own crazy thinking. Must be why you like Angelina so much. She's some hotty kinda nutjob, eh? Birds of a feather flock together. Chirp, chirp! 
I believe if you file an extension you do not have to pay now - sm
that is the whole point of filing an extension....BUT they nail you with interest and penalties for the late filing. So you might want to figure out what you are in for before you do an extension, or make sure you file quickly after April 15 to lessen the interest charges.
You know what? That kind of logic SM
is completely hosed up! Why would she do that? Because she's gay? Would you automatically assume a man would do that to the women on the show because he's straight?
C'mon...grow up, will you?
Jeesh!
DSS is a file extension.
Sending and receiving voice files are all types is not dependent on the file extension but rather using a method that is compatible on both ends. Having said that, if you're both using the Olympus software (which plays back .dss voice files), check the Help files to see if there are detailed instructions on how to use that software to transfer voice and documents between the two locations. However, you are not limited to using their software. There are several methods that have already been mentioned in this message thread--winzip and FTP among them. It's important to make sure that whatever method you use, it's secure.
Email is probably not going to work for receiving the voice files since some voice files are so large that they are rejected by ISPs. Check on either a commercial site like mydocsonline, Files To Go, or the Mededocs mentioned. FTP options are sites likes FTP to Go or zftp.com. Do a Google search for FTP space to find more. There are also lots of free ftpsoftware programs out there to be used for the interface.
Thank you, at least one person with a logic.....sm
How can one explain that the opinion of the majority is not always right, especially if no justification is given.
Try changing the extension to .vox

What is the sound file extension?
In other words, what type of sound file is it? There are different sound file formats out there. You may be able to play it in Express Scribe so you'd be able to use your footpedal. It sounds as if you have your computer set to play certain sound files through QuickTime. You're not using a Mac, are you? Or do you have the PC version of Quicktime?
You can change the file association by single right clicking on the file, open Properties, then change Opens With by clicking the box to the right and selecting a different sound player. Another way to do it would be to open Express Scribe (if that's what you're using, as long as it is compatible with your sound file type), then Open Dictation File and browse for the sound file. Some of the sound files need patches from Express Scribe to be able to play, but the program and patches are free.
And yes, those companies that provide their lousiest dictation to test with are probably ones you wouldn't want to work for anyway, because the test file IS representative of the garbage they'll be pushing at you daily. (Especially if you do really well on it!!!)
That's faulty logic. You are paid less as an
contribution in reality.
COBRA is simply an extension of your sm
prior insurance, and you pick up whatever the company was paying, and pay all costs. COBRA extends you current insurance when you lose your job, but YOU pay all of the charges, same insurance, though.
Again, COBRA is not insurance, just an extension of sm
any insurance you currently have. So while COBRA may be cheaper that whatever, it is exactly what you have had with an employer, just YOU have to pay for it.
I cannot understand why people think COBRA is a specific insurance policy. IT IS NOT. It is a government policy that allows you to still maintain you current insurance, with you paying for it, for a certain amount of time.
Merge eFilm/RIS Logic is the best
software I've used for radiology. Most of the others I've used have fallen far short.
What file extension do this WP5.1 documents have?
If they're not saved as .doc, Word won't be able to search them; however, you can open them individually with Word.
my thinking lacks logic??? You are the one sm
that posted that I should teach and guide and start my own school. I am just repeating what you said. Your posts lack logic. Have you read them?
Huh? Your logic is amusing. She deserves Americans looking for her?
That's just not how its done, as the poster below for eloquently explains!
I have to disagree with faulty logic response. (sm)
I'm being paid more as an employee than I was as an IC. On top of that, 75% of my insurance is paid for plus my taxes are taken out. I get paid time off and paid life insurance. Even if I was being paid less I'd still be making out if you look at the big picture.
Your logic loses water in several ways. SM
Wal-Mart, years ago, was famous for only selling American-made products. THAT promoted capitalism on many levels, and RIGHT HERE IN THE US, not China, which is where they buy most of their goods. So who is getting rich here? It certainly isn't companies in the US who provide goods to Wal-Mart because very few of their goods come from the U.S. Also, they pay their employees very low and treat them badly. They have at least one class action discrimination suit against them. And let's not forget the numerous suits for hiring illegal aliens to clean their stores and LOCKING THEM IN!!! Also, did you even read the article Rad Guy posted? If you did, and you still defend them, even as a devil's advocate, that says a lot about you. By the way, I don't shop there and haven't for a long time.
When one cannot win an argument with logic they resort to name calling.
They can't help themselves. It's instinct (hee).
make sure that file extension is checked

Only one knee hurts, have trouble with full extension
so I learned how to work the foot pedal with the other leg. The more I keep my post surgical knee bent, the tighter the muscles coming into the back of the joint get. I have to stand and toe and heel stretch to work out the stiffness. Summer will be here soon and swimming does wonders for the knees...it always makes my flares go away.
sorry, you are assigning human logic/emotions to animals...
seal mothers do not go nearly insane with fear and pain as they watch their babies being clubbed to death in front of them. - you've got to be kidding. Animals are incapable of the complexities of logic and emotion to get to that conclusion. If you want something to be frantic about, go to Africa and see the abandoned newborn infants piled in chicken wire crates in the hospital. Let's get priorities in order and no, a boy is not a dog or a pig or a rat.
Sheesh.

Sheesh!
I am definitely gone from this site. It has totally gone to the dogs, literally, and other nonsense.
Oh, Sheesh yourself!
Check thru the Cooperative Extension programs in your state. Info might be there. nm
s
The program is being determined by the file extension you're receiving. sm
If you're receiving a voice file that's opening automatically in MediaPlayer (which is what I think you're trying to say), then you will need to change the program that is automatically associated with that file type so that it will open the program you want to use.
The easiest way to do this is to open Explorer, locate the voice file, right mouse click on it and choose Properties. On the General tab in the first "block" where is says Opens With, click the Change button and then choose the program you want to use from the list that appears. This will change the program that opens ALL files with that extension.
To change
To this 'silly'post I do not even answer, your thinking lacks logic..nm
nm
You just had to start that again, huh? Sheesh.
Sheesh! I was just going to post an
encouraging post to you, and then read the nasty QA comment. Thanks a lot! It is totally a misconception that QA are nasty - shame on you! I assure you, most of the snarky posters on this board are anything but professional MTs. But forget the encouragement - you just snarked me. Off to better things...
Sheesh! We must be neighbors.
aa
Then why post at all? Sheesh! And yes, if
you are an IC, you should have a contract. What about privacy laws? Liability? You should have all this clearly outlined in a contract for your benefit. You do have problems, but you just don't know it yet.
I filed for an extension and paid nothing until August 15th. No penalty for that, just interest. nm

thanks for letting me know.
Get over yourself, Grammar Police - sheesh!
The self-righteousness of the Grammatically-Correct- Nazis out there is unbelievable. Most of us take a quick break from work, dash off a quick post on this forum, and then get back to work. Not only is there little time for proofreading on this board, but in this tiny little box it's nearly impossible. And well-written, effective communication doesn't necessarily have to be the King's English, either. (Read "Huckleberry Finn" someday.)
We all understand that and get the gist of what is meant when someone types a post with misspelled word or a grammatical error in it. Usually those who feel they are above reproach when it comes to errors of any kind are..........MANAGEMENT.
All she did was ask a legitimate question. Sheesh!

Sheesh, you're too literal. No one said anything about a man to take care of you, just
p
It was helpful for me, Sheesh. I've done the right thing and
I sincerely hope that others will as well.
It doesn't matter whether or not we agree but the language used and the intent demonstrated. That is what I was talking about.
I fully realize that there will be people who cannot leave a good thing alone. I feel sorry for those individuals. They apparently have no peace, no satisfaction, and no friendliness in their lives. They only know how to destroy, or to attempt to.
I'm going to demonstrate what I want back from others - positivity, compassion, forgiveness, tolerance - whether or not I receive that from you or anyone else. If you do not return to me the same as I have offered, then that is between you and your own soul. :)
I appreciate your point of view; I just don't share it.
I hope everyone has a good evening tonight and a productive day tomorrow! I can't believe summer is almost over with and school starts back soon. Rather funny to me, my son has griped all summer about nothing to do (despite a part-time job, camping trips, Disneyland trip, youth events, etc.) and now that school is coming back around he feels "stressed" because there's not enough time to do all he wants to do! Hahahaha
Yeah, probably because that would be the SMART THING to do! Sheesh!
