You are wrong! Here is the ad. I got it too. There are no words spelled wrong and the caps are pa
This is pasted from the bottom of the email blast.

Why are you trying to stir up trouble? Keystrokes does not send ANYTHING offshore.

I spelled "whole" wrong..........
half asleep at this hour
I know that it's Diskriter (you spelled it wrong x2)
and that gotten isn't a word and you have a sentence fragment from ****. Might want to hone those skills if you plan to keep a decent job. QA will eat you alive -- not being rude ... just being truthful.
the person spelled "have" wrong

yes, spelled questionnaire wrong but I am not applying for a job on here and cannot sm
use spellcheck !
Yeah, yeah, I spelled health wrong -
I am very angry right now and my fingers are taking it out on the keyboard.
committment may be wrong word
how about *estimate* of lines done in a 24-hour day? Company provides 24 hours to get line *estimate* done, which provides much flexibility within the 24 hour day.

MTSOs will only take advantage of those who let them.
No - No, Allowed is the wrong word
IF the dictation was there, we can type as much as we want as long as we don't go over 8 hours.  1200 is the minimum requirement.  What I meant was that if they did not do so much overhiring, we could transcribe a lot more than 1,200.  As it is now, we are running out of work by 9:00 a.m. and having to wait for dictation to come in, type, wait for something to come in, type, wait, type, on and on.  If you start at 7:00 a.m., it could be 5:00-6:00 before you CAN get to 1,200 lines.  Ridiculous.  This limits not only one MTs income on the account, but all of us.
Maybe it is spelled MedQuist but...`
look in the column to your left I do believe they spell it Medquist.
WRONG! WRONG! WRONG! We turn down work because so many hospitals are sm
calling wanting a company that keeps work in the USA. The trend was stronger a few years ago before it all came to light about poor quality, the woman in Pakistan who threatened to post medical records on the web, 911, etc. There are hospitals who look for US-only and they are the MAJORITY not the minority. Definitely seeing the tide turn on offshore from an MTSO perspective, both MTs and customers!!!!!
ALL TYPE QA PROGRAM - SPELLED OUT

This is a pilot program.  Speech rec editing is paid by production and ALL TYPE is moving into that arena. Editors are full-time benefit eligible at 2000 lines reviewed per day. QA tiered incentives go up to 4 cents per line at 2500 lines reviewed per day. FTE editors get 80% paid health insurance, accrued PTO, holiday pay, overtime pay, monthly TAT bonus, and quarterly QA bonus.  This program pays a nice hourly wage plus benes and bonuses for working editors. 


 

Think I could have spelled "thing" correctly.....LOL. NM

anyone know of a company that is spelled something like ATOTLOL (close to that)?
also would appreciate the correct spelling.  Any information you have would be appreciated.
lol, and make sure they know the procedure was clearly spelled out by the recruiter. nm

the add on job seeker's board had several words spelled incorrectly.nm

The platform is Word. Their program works with Word but does not change how Word works. nm
The benefits just changed the first part of this month. I don't have them but I remember them being reasonabl for a single person. Family and spouse was not reasonable in any way (in my opinion).
small to medium company that works in Word or Word-based program - email me. nm
nm
ExText is integrated with Word. Auto correct is a part of Word.
ExText is a Word based platform. When the page opens for you to type the document it will be just like you are typing in MS Word.
anyone work for Oracle - do they use Word or a Word-based program - e-mail me nm

Just wanna work in Word - need company that works in WORD! nm

Their program works with Word and does not change how Word functions. sm
You use your own expander. Overall I feel it is user friendly and I like it.
Does the Emdat platform use Word or is it Word-based? nm

Word for Word Medical Transcription
Pros and cons please.
In his ad, he's asking for Word Perfect, not Word, if that matters. nm

The platform is not Word, but it is Word-based. I
had little Word experience and the recruiter told me to try to find a book to learn the basics of Word as their program is Word-based. 
Now I wish they would just call me back......no word no word and
What is up with these MT companies that advertise. They don't even answer. I have a great resume, tons of experience. I'm confused.
you spelled quality qualitily maybe that is why you have quality issues.
Sorry, but even spell check misses stuff. You have to at least be able to spell to do this job. Well, you don't have to know English if you are Indian, but us Americans have to spell!
word for word company
does anyone know about word for word transcription company?  how are they to work for, platform?  thanks in advance!
I was told I could use word pad since I don't have word

I have 1 computer to speak of that I did not buy personally.  the company has their own platform and their own computer to be rented.  I would not be typing in word.  I have never had a problem testing this way before.  I am not saying certified is better.  I was explaining my circumstance.  I have my own personal computer ordered for my use and I wanted to test fast without waiting. geez.


"overtime" is not a generic word. "incentive" is a generic word. Over time means time

In Word..
Select the tools menu and then Autocorrect. Then check the box next to capitalize First letter of sentences.


Are you using Word? sm
If you are using Microsoft Word you can change the background to something that suits your eyes and the text to a lighter color. 
One word - RUN!!!!
Owner is not all there, if you know what I mean. There are better places to work. Let them hire overseas. Perhaps those workers will put up with their garbage treatment.
Everything is done in Word
plenty of samples though, and she pays per gross line, not 65 characters.

I worked for them and they can be fair, which is hard to find these days with others. I was a new MT and they gave me a chance that no one else would consider doing. good luck
Same here...no word nm

The new word for lay off.

The new word is idle, used as a verb.  I doubt that the MTs will remain idle for long.  What terrible writing, and what a terrible deal for MTs.  I wonder whether Ormond will be happy when people from another country are transcribing his family's medical records.


 


Meanwhile, the company issued a federal layoff notice this week that it will idle 102 workers in its Heartland Information Services medical-transcription unit. Seven employees are in Toledo. A company spokesman said the cuts will occur in early July.


Toledo Blade.


 


 


Still no word.....sm

Patience is not one of my greatest virtues! lol  Anyway, if someone gets a response from Editors Wanted, could you email me please?  Thanks!


Take MY word for it, -
I simply must disagree...
Take my word for it,
I've been paid both ways. Yes, they will say that all the exams equal themselves out, but with CT and MRI exams, etc. you can get some really long reports. You may get lucky and have short reports, but I highly doubt it!
Does anybody still use MS Word
I have started with two companies in the past six months (as an IC) using MS Word on my own computer, and no sooner did I get up to speed than they switched over to a platform.  I can learn the platforms ok but just want to type and get paid; no BS.  The platforms I've worked on all created more problems than they solved, especially with word expanders.  And the line counts are no longer under your control, you have to accept whatever they tell you.  Am I the only one who feels this way?  The people I'm with now tell me to have patience and they'll work out the bugs in the system, but tell that to my mortgage company!

Anyone have any info on this company? 


TIA!!


Word for Word
I worked for a company by that name about 30 yrs ago in New Mexico.  Wondering if it is the same ladies, Sandy and Marie, who may have started it up again after the facility they  worked for outsourced everything overseas.  If it is true, both of these ladies are wonderful to work for. Please let me know, I would truly appreciate it.
