Can the MQ glossary be transferred to the platforms
nm
Can we remove our glossary from company computer?

I am attempting to move a glossary which I created over 4 years via e-mail which is proving to be difficult as an attachment to use on my PC for a side job.


Is there a company policy that says we cannot do this?  (Spheris).


I have normals, lots and a huge expander glossary sm

I also have 20 years in this business, which helps.  I am not a fast typist really and I can't type at all without the expander, not anymore.  I have a photographic memory for terms and how they are spelled...see it once, know it forever. 


There are exceptional MTs and there are very good MTs, there are good ones and ones who can just about pass muster.  Don't beat yourself up trying to be exceptional.  I think exceptional MTs are born, but very good ones can be built from scratch.  There are MANY MANY facets to success as an MT.  You have to have quite an ear for voices and even the very best of us can't do every accent.  You have to either be a great typist and/or Expander user, and you have to know it well (I have used my same one most of my career).  You have to know your terminology inside and out.  You need to know how to properly organize your normals so that they are consistent and easy to use.  You have to have an excellent platform to work on, preferrably a Word client.  You also have to have a company who stands behind you and makes sure you have enough work with QA people who can and will take the time to teach you what you don't know.  My favorite QA gal is a font of knowledge, a BOS2 expert and she even corrects my emails for grammar.  I have learned a lot from her.  It helps to have someone on an IM who can answer questions on the fly for you.  I have had those in the past and now I am one of those who does the answering. 


Most importantly, do your very best at whatever mode of work you are doing.  Show up every day, give it your all.  Don't worry about what the rest of us are doing, be the best you, you can be.  Things fall into place when you do that, I know because this is how I had to approach the early stages of my career.  Persistance pays off.


How would they know if you copied and pasted?
I did this for years in RadNet. I typed in Word using AutoCorrect and used a keyboard shortcut to select and cut the text, then another to paste it into RadNet.
I copied the ad and it is inside..read it again--sm

Rotten t o the core! And if you copied/pasted
then there are many more errors than you pointed out (if you did not copy/paste I am not bashing/correcting you, as I know this is just a forum, not a job, and also the anger factor plays into it)
copied from email sent to current Transcend employees.
It does, however, provide additional opportunities as
we become a larger and more meaningful company. MDI was attracted to Transcend
because Transcend is widely recognized as the best company in the industry. MDI
is also very excited about Transcend’s technology, speech recognition successes,
and broad capacity to deliver services on a large scale.

This is a company big on VR. Hope you like it.
see message this post is excellent a fair representation of KS..I copied it from below.
You know who I am. I'm the one who hooked up the Foley at the beginning of my shift. I'm the one who worked extra each and every time I was asked. I'm the one who went into the office to transcribe when it was needed. I'm the one who went on site to help with a new account (and this account actually wanted me to work for them!). I'm the one who transcribed tapes when asked. I'm the one who did the 3-page reports and the docs that no one else wanted when you cut our pay. And I'm the one who worked an 8-hour shift when my air conditioning broke down last summer during one of the hottest days of the year. No one just handed me that huge paycheck, I worked for it.

And now I'm the one who works on two accounts that consider my transcription excellent. As a matter of fact, one account doesn't want anyone BUT me. During my career I was told by one manager and one MTSO that they wished they had 10 of me. I also came highly recommended to you. That speaks volumes about my reliability, stability, flexibility, and quality.

You offer some flexibility. Zero tolerance would be more like it. I had to take three days off for jury duty, my electricity went out twice, and workers cut my cable line, all of which were out of my control. I took five days off in a row once in two years for a very good reason and it was not a vacation. If I had to take time off during my shift, I made up my time that same day. Unfortunately my dentist doesn't have hours on Sunday. I also worked when I was sick. Is that what you mean by not a good fit? I was an IC not an employee.

The kicker for me was when I found out that your coordinator went to the client to find out if I was skipping reports. I have never skipped a report in my entire career. I don't have to. I love what I do and I love a challenge. She also told another employee that no one can do that many specials. I could and I did until she made certain that I didn't.

This field is stressful enough. I certainly don't want to work for someone who places more stress on me, especially when I'm already giving 110%.

When it was all over, I felt like the weight of the world had been lifted off my shoulders. It was then that I decided I would rather be appreciated than used and abused.
She's giving work TO Medware, or is Medware giving work to her company? Medware has no work. nm

Does anyone have any comments on working for Medware?  Thanks!
Medware
Thanks for your input!! I'm job shopping and want to make a better decision this time.
Medware
Does anyone know what Medware is paying these days? They seem to have a lot of ads for help in transcription and for the Dictaphone platform.
medware pay

I went through their whole testing bit, got called twice for interviews, once with a guy and then once I passed the test, some lady called me.  They said I did well on the test, but they only offered me 7.5 cpl (5 yrs exp).  I need more than that so chose to not go with their company.


Medware for me
Love my account, direct deposit every 2 weeks and the insurance is affordable.  My supervisor is really cool and understanding, we get along great.  1 year and counting, hope for many more.  Good luck to you.
Medware
Hi! I just started with them last week and so far it has been really great. They are all really nice and I have had wonderful training. You get paid by the hour for the first 4 weeks so you have time to learn the system (which the system itself is excellent and extremely easy)Your rate is determined by experience so I don't know other than my own. I guess you have to ask them about the schedule, but mine is just what I need. The staff is very, very nice. I think you would really like it. If you will notice, there is tons of negative stuff about all the MT companies on this board, but Medware has a lot less negative than some of the others (I looked through it before I started.) I think you should try it.
I am with Medware
Easy platform, good pay, good people, flexible schedule. Just what I need.
Osi does and I think Medware nm

Medware
Has anyone out there worked for Medware?  I have gotten a job offer from them and just wondered how they are to work for.  Thanks for any help
Medware which one?
Which Medware are you all praising? Where is it located?
Medware
They are located in Florida.
Medware
Hi, am thinking about Medware.  How do you like it?  What is it really like.  Do they have a good training program.  I was very impressed with the marketeer.  He seemed very accommodating and willing to work with me.  Just wondering what the scoop is.  Thanks in advance
Medware
ty so much for your response. w/ so many companies out there unsure of what to do. I have been transcribing for 3 years and just getting my line count up. Plus being fairly new on the block was unsure whether I would fit in. Just how easy would it be for a fairly new comer to fit in. I need a little encouragement and a small amount of TLC, but just for a short time.
Medware
Does Medware pay for spaces, headers, footers, etc.
You probably should ask Medware
accurate rate. They are a very good company however. Good luck.
Medware pay
I had 16+ years experience and Medware paid me the same as a newbie because I didn't have my CMT, although I was considered a Level III transcriptionist.  Also, having your CMT, you are still maxed out on the pay.  I had heard that Medware wasn't really hiring anymore MT because they were outsourcing to India and they were only hiring editors or turning MTs within the company into editors.  At one time, they were a good company to work for.  I have been gone for a year so things may have changed.  This was just my experience with the pay scale. 
Medware
Medware is still hiring MTs. Only one area of the company deals with the Indian transcription. Everything else is still done by US transcriptionists. There are 6 levels of pay -- level I, II, and III for both certified and non-certified MTs. A recruiter could better give you an idea what those rates are.

... a happy MW employee
Medware
Looking for opinions on Medware from current employees. Can anyone tell me how many transcriptionists they have, are they flexible at all, do they offer part-time, positives and negatives? Most importantly, are you making any money with them? Thanks.
MedWare? Can anyone tell me anything?
I have been offered a position and am hesitant to take it, can anyone give me any insight?  Thanks for any info you can provide.
MedWare
They sound almost too good to be true! How many ESLs do you have to do, on average?
Medware
Does anyone have any info on the job posted today by Medware for MTs with ExText experience? Considering applying and am wondering if anyone who works for them part time can tell me if there is any flexibility with them, line rate range, pay for headers, spaces, etc., and can anyone "in the know" tell me what account this is starting up? Also some general info on the company - how many MTs they have, do they offer any benefits at all for part time? Thanks in advance!
Medware pay?
Anyone know approximately the starting pay at Medware for IC and employee?  Does anyone know if they are hiring for psychiatry or therapy accounts? 
Medware or OSI
Offered jobs by both, appreciate any help.
Medware or OSi
I worked for OSi for 2 yrs and recently left to join Medware. Medware is a better run company. Their people are more professional and knowledgeable. It is just a great place to work!!

There have been a lot of OSi people leave and go to Medware in the past month.


Medware
I tested for Medware 2 weeks ago and have not heard from them. I know I did well on the test. Anyone know if they are really hiring?
Anyone know what Medware

 


Medware ICs

Hi! Does anyone happen to know if you can switch from employee to IC at Medware?


Also, if you are an IC, what time frame do you have to do your work?


THANKS!!


Medware
I applied for Medware today.  Any information would be most appreciated
Medware
Medware is top rated by AAMT because most of Medware's management happen to be AAMT officers or former officers - brings to mind The fox guarding the henhouse.

I don't rave about them. I did work for them for awhile, but their platform was not my cup of tea, nor do I agree with their outsourcing.
Medware

I agree - the management nominates themselves and then they vote for themselves. Medware has some very active members in AAMT.


Medware also offshores in a very big way. You can run a check on Google for Medware India to see for yourself.


Medware
Medware does.  Also, just saw that Cymed offers it but I don't know anything about that company.
Medware or MDI-FL...
Has anyone worked for both companies and could tell me which is better?  Trying to decide which company is better.  The offer is about the same for both, benefits seem about the same, so just trying to decide who is the easiest to get lines with, easiest to work with, etc.  I have looked through the archives and good and bad about both, so not sure what to do.  Thanks in advance.
Medware or MDI-FL (sm)
I have never worked for MDI-FL but have heard good things about them.

I now work for Medware and am very happy there. The system is great. My Team Lead is the best when it comes to being flexible...he is very understanding, also has a great sense of humor which is a must in my book! It is great working with some of the most professional leaders in this industry.

I do believe I have found my home.

You have talked to both companies, so compare and make the best decision you can. Good luck!
medware
This sounds like typical Medware management - superior, arrogant, sarcastic.
Medware, Inc.
I would encourage you to call your recruiter. If there is anything that I can do for you please do not hesitate to give me a call. 1-800-881-3131 x371.
You might want to try MedWare. -nm

Medware
Anybody currently working for Medware?  How are they for cpl, feedback, part-time?
medware
I work for them - not much difference between them and the rest of the big companies. Not happy. 7 cpl - ALL letters, most less than 1 sentence long, but DIS takes longer than the letter (the part you DONT get paid for) - doc list is Excel spreadsheet - clumsy - cc's clumsy and stupid - lots of server downtime - feedback good for first 2 weeks - then so-so. Constant push.

Medware
I was perusing the archives and noticed a conversation about Medware and sound quality. I nearly fell off my rolling chair! Same thing is happening to me - bad sound quality and they say it's my machine (really? how come the sound is fine with everything else?). This company never gets the bum rap it deserves. Consistent work? None for 2 days, very little since Thanksgiving and constant server problems. And the quality lie? 2 -3 minutes is excessive time researching and Medware won't pay for it - that is directly from the horses mouth. I don't see Medware as being any different than Medquist. They are both in the same low league. I am disgusted. We are getting ripped off and so is the client.
Medware
I agree with the poster below - Oh, please.
That's nice that you are content there, but they have room for a lot of improvement.

Their platform is not user friendly at all and their sound varies widely in quality. Their built-in text Expander actually impeded production and I had to purchase Shorthand in order to make any decent money at all.

BTW, I have over 20 yrs MT experience.
