I use Endust Electronics spray...
Look for a blue can. I'd never use anything else. It's also antistatic.
Other than that, you can get those special LCD cleaning kits (they come in packs of wrapped towelettes)-just look in the Office Depot catalog.
J &R Electronics discount 83.00 with free shipping. sm
Not a bad deal. just wondering about quality with just voice and not music.
Martel Electronics' headset equalizer - sm
Check out www.martelelectronics.com, under transcription accessories or headsets or something like that. Adjusting the mid channel on the equalizer helps take out a good portion of the background noise. Hope this helps.
Disappointing service at Martel Electronics
How disappointing to have received such poor service from Martel -- a company we all rely upon for their great products!
The new headset I ordered arrived damaged/defective with an improperly coated wire making the headset useless. When I called I was informed that not only would I be charged a restocking fee, I would have to pay to have the defective product returned. Only after inspection would a new one be sent -- and that would be another wait of 10 to 14 days.
Repeated requests to speak with a supervisor got me nowhere. I ultimately disputed the charge on my credit card and wrote to the Better Business Bureau.
How unfortunate that the only supplier of the Lanier headphones is so unresponsive to their customers!
? don't know, but check on line electronics store.

Have you checked out Martel Electronics website for equipment to help with this process?
I would think that if you rerecorded at a faster speed, the sound quality would be compromised. I think it was on www.martelelectronic.com that I saw equipment for this. Good luck.
Buy local. The local stores pay taxes to support your city and state. (SM)
Using online and catalogues does nothing to promote the local economy. We complain about outsourcing and about the big companies gobbling up all the work so the jobs at local hospitals are gone, yet we do the same thing when we buy on ebay, catalog, and these web sites that may be located any place in the world as their primary business location.
I went local. Great local tech support, they know what I do and were able to set it up just for me
:)
Not mgmt at all!! Only an MT!!! SM
You're sad situation is just that -- it's yours.
I'm happy. I'm doing what I want. I'm making the money. I'm making the QA and grade. :)
I don't care whether the fire gets put out or not...I'm not the one burning! LOL
Perfect scenario you have there -- yes, blame your troubles on your employer. Absolutely! There's no where else to work, is there?! There's no other career out there, right?! LOL You're LIMITED, hands tied behind your back! Poor you. ROFL
Now go call your 15-alarm firehouse call!!
MT's or mgmt
why would you want your pay reduced at all?? MTs need to stick together
you don't get it....they (mgmt here)....sm
Her board, her rules (Sheri Steadman's board here).
You must be a MQ mgmt plant. nm
NOT
mgmt is the problem.
whoever u work for is saying its ok to do that.
Not yet, but mgmt swears it will. I don't believe them! nm
x
NOT mgmt at all! I just pay attn!! Perhaps YOU should try the same!! LMAO
.
Not mgmt here. Take your advice, loser.
You've a right to complain. I've a right to complain.
My complaints are about the losers who don't want to take care of their own problems. They are pathetic as the the poor poverty-stricken people from LA using their $2000 FEMA allowance to buy purses and crap they don't need. They can't make decent decisions -- that's why they are in the poverty state they are in. Neither can the MQ complainers. Can't make a decent decision.
I'm going to blow your stinkin' smoke right back in your face every single time and if you don't like it, don't read MY posts! LOLOLOL You're just pollution, that's all!
Have you ever known anyone in mgmt. with ANY basic intelligence? (nm)
?
This chick's crackin' me up - *Not mgmt.*
Nowadays, no one in this business can possibly defend the way it is managed - except management itself. Certainly not us gerbils at the bottom, spinning the wheels.
IMO, she has a money mgmt problem!
I worked for a small MTSO (15-30 employees at any one time) for years and years and they were NEVER late on our paychecks.
I know from working in-office that collection was a huge, HUGE issue with some clients. I knew of several that the service had to repeatedly drop due to nonpayment. Some owed the company hundreds of dollars and were habitually late. Sometimes they would take them back if they paid up, sometimes they wouldn't (if they were chronic offenders and just not worth the hassle). One year I know for sure the owners did not collect their own salaries several times in order to make the payroll.
It sounds to me like this person is working too close to the bone, not building up enough in her own account to cover payroll. One should never have to wait on a client payment to pay an employee. That's just poor management, IMO.
Nope, Pain Mgmt in NJ
By and large my clients are good honest people like the rest of us, but these few bad apples make it hard to trust the rest.
Have you talked to mgmt. about the lack of consistency?
Seems like mgmt would want to get all the QA on the same page, anyway b/c that is way too frustrating for the MTs to get conflicting requests all the time. Where I do QA we get mgmt emails all the time reiterating client requests and info to keep us all in the loop.
WebChart MD file mgmt svc - not MTSO
WebChart MD does not do transcription but manages your files, transfers files to you, etc. Is a file management company. You pay them so much per month for providing the FTP, and then the docs send their files to them, they send to you. They charge per user, etc. When I talked to them, very expensive for me and I could not pass that onto the doctors especially when I can do the services they provide
Ummm, since MGMT's reply was so quick to try and nip this post in the bud, I'm not
exactly feeling real confident about asking them at this point. I had the feeling if it was something MGMT had wanted us to know, we would've received notification from them at the time it occurred, such as was done when other changes in mgmt happened. I had also thought that was one of the purposes for having an anonymous board such as this--to get straight answers without fear of reprisal.
I'm the opposite.... the pay is okay, but I hate working inhouse. Mgmt. SUX! n/m
:P
Good grief, no. I'm not a mole. I'm not admin or mgmt in any form.
I'm not QA. I'm just an MT like everyone else on this forum.
I'm allowed to have my own questions and curious thoughts.
I've never had a negative experience with an Amphion mgmt person.
x
Well that sounds pretty bizzare and stupid. Is mgmt trying to get everyone to quit?-sm
A sure-fire way to get everyone to quit is to totally disrupt things. Maybe they plan to outsource but don't want to tell anyone. If they can get everyone to quit on their own, no unemployment to pay. It certainly sounds very counter-productive, and undoubtedly will make those with families very unhappy. They should fire the person who came up with this hairbrained idea!
Waste of $$ (sm)
If you've been an MT for many years, why are you wasting your time & money on a CMT exam? If you read up on it in these forums, you will see that it's nothing but a ripoff. So is AAMT. What matters is your own skill and proficiency, which can be proven. A bunch of letters after someone's name proves NOTHING, which became obvious repeatedly in my office, when "CMT" people proved to be incompetent, and yet older, more experienced non-CMT's (who had usually been around since before those people figured out that ripoff scheme...) turned out to be our best workers. If I were you, I'd use the money on references, or a new computer, etc., rather than wasting it on that worthless test.
re: Waste of $$(sm)
Your opinion of being a CMT or of AAMT was not solicited nor warranted as it was not even asked. The original question was not to seek out someone's biased opinion.
do not waste with another course
you're in, do your time, learn and find another place later.
Now THAT was not a waste of
x
YOU DID NOT WASTE
TEST FOR THE BIG COMPANIES. I work for Diskriter, test for them. Someone will give you a shot. I started out 18 years ago with no pay at the hospital as a trainee, and here I am today as a QA/editor/account manager for a large MTSO. Never say never, just have to keep knocking until right door opens for you.
LOL It would be more of a waste to sue
They have the right to set any standard they want as an association.
Doing VR I waste most
of my time putting in and correcting PUNCTUATION.
What a misery!
Don't waste your money just yet.......sm
There is no way of knowing what equipment you'll need until you get hired. Unless you can afford to buy everything and anything, don't concern yourself with it until you know what your new company requires. There is no rush. You can buy whatever you need on line and get it within a day to two.
The letter was a waste of
who wrote it and are now trying to make it smell better.
and it was a waste of the time for the MT who got it.
All these silly pre-letters and anticipated packages that nobody can tell you what is in them or what they are about, and 1/cent checks being mailed out to people, just make MQ look really foolish from a business standpoint. If they were trying to run people off, they did a darn good job. And if they weren't trying, then whoever thought of this business strategy, needs to go rework it. Because in my case it was the final obtuse act by a smarmy company that helped me make the decision to invest my experience in the competition.
Don't waste your time there
Very unprofessional. Outdated system. Lacks work. I resigned shortly after getting hired, and I gave them the 2 wks' notice, still worked during those two weeks, mailed an invoice, and still has not received my pay.
Don't waste your money!
There's nothing in that guy's books that you probably don't already know about, or can easily find out about...free!
I do "secret shopping" sometimes, but the shops pay very little.
There are a several MLM companies, (I'm in one), which are not scams, but it's not that easy to make money with them, & takes time.
You are a big waste of our time.
IMO it is a waste of money. Not too many
companies pay more for CMT certification.
I would definitely call first.....why waste gas?
xx
IMO waste of my time
VR is not taking over the MT position anytime soon. I hated doing editing because it was twice the work and half the pay. I always ended up typing everything over because it was so wrong. Especially w ESL. Docs have to train the computer to recognize their voice and they don't take and don't have the time to do so. I found a company with straight transcription and I am much happier.
A waste of money
I have seen some companies who advertise more cpl if you are a CMT, not recently, but more like a "fad" a while back. I gawf at that because even if I was certified, I have over 20 years of experience and no certification is going to make me more experienced than actually working that long.
Waste of time
nm
Don't waste your money on it.

I did that with 2 kids with time mgmt and a high school girl who babysat 3 days a week after school

Then you shouldn't waste the time sm
going on the cruise if you are going to have to worry about work even if it takes you no time at all to get it done. When you have an opportunity for rest and relaxation you need to take it. It will be more trouble having to worry with the work on vacation. I agree... see if someone locally does MT and get them to do it while you are gone. Have them sign a contract or something so that you don't have to worry about your accounts. Or I would be they would hold their dictation and let you do it when you got back. NO WAY should you take the work with you. If you have been with them for 5 years, you have already proven your worth. Chances are if you tell them you are going to take a short vacation since you haven't in 5 years, they will respond and so go, we will hold it til you get back.
Good luck, enjoy yourself!!
I used to waste sooooo much time
looking things up, then get sidetracked, etc. When I started using the stopwatch, I wouldn't reset it until the end of my shift. I just started it running everytime I stopped typing and then stopped it when I started typing again. At the end of the day I nearly FAINTED when I saw how much time I was losing.
I have a 3 to 5-minute limit now. I start that watch and in 3 minutes if I am no where near finding the information, I put a blank and go on. If I feel I've almost found what I'm looking for, I continue but at 5 minutes I call it quits and it gets a blank to QA.
Don't hardly ever send blanks to QA because I can send 2 blanks to the hospital without any trouble.
Still, it helps me keep on task and at the end of the day I can see where I have not been productive if my lines are really sucky. LOL LOL LOL
You probably shouldn't waste your breath
You are so right.
How one finds themselves in a desperate situation like this is irrelevant.
I just can't help but think people who have the mentality of the poster to whom you responded are the same who claim to be Christians and Right-To-Lifers. I guess you only have the right to live if you're in the womb and not a sinner.
These people were totally disregarded as human. Make your bed mentality, have versus have not mentality, and as the poster below said, plantation mentality.
Why would any decent MT waste their time with MQ
Don't be fooled by their latest spins. If it didn't benefit them, they wouldn't be doing it. The only ones with a good deal at MQ are the suits. They should be eating some of the slop they feed MTs.
TALK ABOUT A WASTE OF MONEY!
Why not pay us more, or pay the people with no work to do this???
