Christmas morning here and not even a Merry Christmas
NM
I am using both at present, but (sm)
I am gradually switching everything over from my ShortHand into the ESP of ExText. The Shorthand plays out so it takes longer, the ESP is on your screen instantly, so I would say don't buy the Shorthand if you are going to be using ExText. ESP is better.
Unfortunately, the only way to do this at present is to
copy it from the add screen. It is a pain, but once you start getting used to the names, you will be able to just type them in without having to look them all up.
**I sure wish they would find a way to just do an insert though.
Okay, I am a PRESENT employee
I found out for FACT that the reason MY account was running out of work was because they were offshoring MY account jobs to India- they are continuing to do so. I have health insurance and my daughter needs some minor surgery- after that I am out of here!!!!
OSI - LOOKING FOR OPINION FROM PRESENT EMPLOYEES
I would appreciate any input you could give me on working for this company. Thanks
did you ask to go full-time at your present job? ...nm

Present Focus Employee
I'm a little chagrined to see you were started at 10/5. I have been working at Focus for almost 2 years now at 8/4. Unless you worked 3rd shift, which is 10/5.
After a long dry period, there seems to be a lot of work right now. Unfortunately there are some bugs in the EditScript version 8 now and then (for example, now!)
22-25 an hour is something I have not come close to. I do best with a nice mix of VR and typing, but you have to be on the specific account that would provide that mix! And I don't have inside info on how to get on an account like that.
Also I know the HR person from the company visits these websites. . .
I wonder if they are at least worse or comparable to what I'm going thru right now at my present
At least I get PTO/sick time, but keep running out of work, and seems like everything falling apart. All work will be going to India soon.
I just want to work for an honest company that treats their employees right. I wonder why that is so difficult to find.
At the present time I have no choice
but to put up with this baloney. One of her good friends is an MT and she tells me all these stories about how she met this guy online (but she's married), and how her friend drives her co-worker crazy, etc. etc. She talks negative abouy her friend(s) as well as her other employees. I just shut up and listen. You dont know me - so don't judge me ya old fart! You're a perfect example of what happens to people who stay MTing for too long. Glad this is a temp thing!
present those bounced checks to your employer - sm
when you were hired, you were told when your paydays would be. There was no warning or notice made ahead of time that paychecks would be late. THEREFORE, your employer is responsible for the bounced check fees that were caused by the direct deposit being late!!! This is for direct deposit only - NOT FOR PAYCHECKS arriving by mail. Checks arriving by mail could be held up as a result of the postal service, carrier, etc. Therefore, your employer is not responsible for checks bounced because of that.
No worry at present. As an IC for a mid size company...sm
I always submit my invoice using one of the accepted line counting softwares out there. Never a discrepancy on my invoice and paid in one week or less after submission of my invoice. Fortunately, I work for a company who values their MTs and pays quite fairly. I asked the question only out of curiosity. I only wanted more information regarding the MT platforms for future use. No plans on going anywhere for now, but one never knows in this industry.
I don't. The computer I have right now belongs to my present employer sm
I'm quitting next week and will have to send it back. My new employer doesn't provide computers. :-(
Unlimited LD depends on your account. At present, I
don't have the luxury of having an account that is accessible via dictation over the internet; however, I sure wouldn't include the internet fee as due to working for MDI-MD.I already had an internet fee, as I really assume most do.I also had an extra phone line, one for home, one for business, per my prior employment & to enable me to keep business expenses separate from personal expenses at tax time. Vonage has worked out well for me as my LD carrier which is available as VOIP & connected directly through a modem into my C-Phone via my internet carrier, thereby eliminating the need for a second phone line. I know some accounts haven't been compatible with such, but I would ask recruiter and/or iaison if this was a possibility for whatever account you were going to be assigned to. Two years ago I purchsed a C-Phone on ebay for $350 - that is less than a rental fee for 1 year. For me,the amount I pay Vonage is worth the great people I work with, my fantastic account, and my flexibility and sanity.
Is anyone currently working for SoftScript at the present time. MTs used to comment on
the sound with this company. Has this improved and what are they like to work for with their accounts. I know they are always hiring.
I've only been with present company for months and don't have counts where I'd like, otherw

What is your present line rate? I gather you want to work as an employee and not as an
IC because you want PTO and the FICA, but would you work as an IC?
Seeking info from PRESENT employees of Superior Global
Please do not reply with 'search the archives'.
I am seeking info from current employees.
1. Is pay on time?
2. The escription account...is it bad? Are you able to earn a decent wage on escription there?
3. Any other CURRENT info is appreciated.
InterPro present or past employees care to share your experiences
I'm to take the test tomorrow. Thanks in advance
Christmas
Heard on the new last night that Coca-Cola will not be using Santa's image this year on any of their Christmas products. They will use a picture of a polar bear instead.
Nothing for Christmas
The company I have worked for for almost 2 yrs send me a $20 thing of candy. The other company I got nothing, not even a Merry Christmas.
If Only...What I wish for this Christmas.
Reading posts below how so many MTs just wish or hope that they may get some sort of recognition - a bonus or a gift or anything for their hard work for the year. I cannot say how angry I am - steaming mad - to read the derogatory posters who call these hopeful or disappointment MTs childish or greedy. Its so heartbreaking. American workers for decades regularly received Christmas bonuses in every single industry, period. We all did. Our parents did and our grandparents did. If they didn't, that probably meant they were the bosses or business owners, and they happily were the ones giving out the bonuses or gifts to their beloved workers. THIS IS SICK that other MTs can bash those who still have hope, or those who desperately need the $$, anything. A lowsy $25 gift card might feed their kids for a day. Yet its A-OK in our country that the CEOS and our OWN BOSSES get 6 and 7-figure Christmas bonuses every year, whether they run our companies into the ditch or not. They aren't called greedy or childish. We continue to work ourselves to the point of breaking 24/7, and darn sure do have the right to hold out the most meager of hopes that yes, MTs, there is a Santa Claus, he does care, and maybe we might get a $25 token of appreciation from our employers, who are darn tootin' making a boat load of greenbacks thanks to our labors. Merry Christmas, and I wish if I were rich that I could find a list of all US MTs and send each and every one, newby or seasoned pro, a $25 gift card and a Christmas card. I truly wish I could do that. Maybe someday I will. Don't be ashamed to hope for a present - good grief we get nothing else, nothing.
Christmas
It is coming....already spent mind....
Are you allowed to say Christmas?
Pretty soon, everything is becoming so politically correct, we won't be allowed to use the word Christmas anymore. Maybe they were insulted - you should have sent a holiday card instead.
But, no - I don't think I've seen a Christmas card or bonus in years. Boy, in the good old days at MQ, a few years back, we actually used to have Christmas parties - imagine that!
CHRISTMAS IS AMERICAN
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Majority rules here in America. MOST people celebrate Christmas in this country. If I were in a Japanese country I would expect to see oriental things all over the place and if I were in Israel, I would expect to see Hannukah all over. What is wrong with people? The world has gone totally nuts.
Maybe it's a Christmas gift
in appreciation of a year of hard work. Does Amphion ever send Christmas gifts to MTs? If so, why gripe?
Merry Christmas to you, too!

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to all.
Christmas Gift
Those morons sent me chocolates for Christmas. Unfortunatley my son was here to accept delivery. I would have sent it back. I'd much rather have my PAY!!! They have the nerve to have BONUS pay in their ad for new MTs when they can't even pay the ones that are working there now. I was on their payroll, so it had nothing to do with IC invoicing. I think they guesstimate at lines because they are never close to what I have actually typed. Glad I'm done with them!
Christmas Gift?
My gift  was an email from the company wishing me a Merry Christmas and then they sent out emails Christmas Eve and Christmas day asking MTs to log in and work some;-)
Now THAT is what the spirit of Christmas is all about. (sm)
When I worked in house at a local hospital we used to adopt a family each year and had a blast doing it. We were a large department and would provide food for the holiday meals and all the Christmas gifts. One year we took my little truck with the camper and literally had it filled with boxes of food and presents. One lady in our department is of a religion that didn't believe in Christmas, but wow, did this lady come forward with food products for the family. One year the mother of the family we adopted even sent us pictures of Chrismas morning. That was truly a heart warmer too.
Christmas card
Thinking back over the years we used to get a corporate card but now I think we only get a card if our supervisor and/or manager decide to remember us, some do and some don't. Since I have had about 6 supers this year, I doubt it. Once I got a $5.00 gift certificate for Starbucks from my super, that was nice but the nearest Starbucks is 50 miles away as I live in South Georgia boondocks. Seeing that I haven't even had a cost of living raise with MQ for 7 years, I don't look for a CHRISTMAS BONUS!!!!! Do you work for MQ? Hope you get one if you don't.....
Merry Christmas

Thankful at CHRISTMAS
I want to thank my company Transform for always have lots of work, great pay, great people and just a great place to work. I am not bragging either, I am THANKFUL and would like others to know that there are companies out there who actually do what they say, pay well, and treat their people nice. It's a shame that some others on this board will not allow us to post on the COMPANY BOARD about our COMPANIES.
CHRISTMAS BONUS
I have from a private account.
I got an e-mail Christmas Day
It says Merry Christmas, work is behind and overtime is approved!
christmas acknowledgment
Hey....our bullentin had Christmas trees on it....what more do you want? :)
Christmas gift-OSi
Got a card,coffee mug with coffee, and lines that day. Also had pay deposited a day or so earlier, and that's much better than I've heard from other companies, at least pay-wise.
AX Christmas Bonus
Yes, they have given in the past. Usually in the form of a 50 dollar Visa card, which can be used anywhere. Don't know if we will get one this year or not.
Christmas bonus
I've worked at SoftScript, Medi-Max, Spheris, and several other smaller MT companies and in 15 years I've never once received a bonus or a raise from any of them, Christmas or otherwise.
By the way, Spheris is the worst company I've ever worked at in my life, and I've had several different careers. They lie to, cheat, and steal from their employees, pay slave wages, and constantly harass you to produce more and more and more while cutting your pay. Even in this economy, I just quit that horrible, horrible, inhuman place. Horrible.
Merry Christmas to all! sm
Hope you all have a very nice day whether you are working or not and may God bless you all! I'm working today and don't care if I get all my lines for the day and I don't even care if I get any gifts. I'm just glad to wake up and see the beautiful sunshine and pure white snow outside! For me, that is the best! 
This is EXACTLY why I work every Christmas now and with TT sm
shoot, today I hit a pocket of the good stuff on my morning shift and spent an hour with simple normals I have for doctors who don't have them on the system...I had close to 1000 lines for morning part.
Unhappy? NO
I was just told before Christmas
That's all I really know. I only wanted part-time. The recruiter got right back to me though and I applied through their website. Basically, I just sent them a resume. Things may have changed.
Christmas in April
Company bonus just extended....guess I didn't need to get up at 4 AM!
Cyber-terrorists are horrible, but turned out to be a financial blessing. Those of you who work for our company know what I'm talking about. 
YES! On MTStars you are allowed to say CHRISTMAS!
Christmas Past - dream on
.... Just wanted to share what was done at a hospital I worked at in the good old days when I was a young one ..
Hospital gave each employee $300.00 to $500.00 dollars each as a bonus. You got a turkey for your family. AND, the grandest catered Christmas party at a local exclusive private club with dancing all night!!! Can you believe that?!?
IF you stop calling it Christmas
First of all, I don't think it's possible. People would never totally adapt to saying Holiday instead of Christmas. But second of all, I think that if we did stop saying Christmas, lo and behold, whatever word we used instead, be it holiday or whatever, would then become an objectionable word. They just are jealous of us and want to bully us around. I can imagine maybe we just change the date? Christ was born in September anyway. It all goes back to converting pagans and having a celebration to coincide with their big winter celebration.
and pre-Transcend, we at least got a Christmas card and even
a very much appreciated gift certificate, but guess Transcend is too cheap to allow that for MDI
Any Christmas gifts/bonuses from...
Any Christmas bonuses or gifts from Futurenet Technology?
My company did not acknowledge Christmas.. so
I'm guessing MT Week is not a holiday on their calendar.
I got a nice Christmas gift from
This is my second Christmas with this company and is my second gift so there are MTSOs out there who do care about their MTs and do show their appreciation for hardwork!
Christmas weekend, and once again, pay is late.
I've had it with them.
