Look it up in the dictionary, the word professionalism.

Posted By: yet another recruiter on 2006-10-04
In Reply to: I have mde over 60K doing MT for the past 5 years. Why are you so hesitant to post who you work sm - oh, please

I don't pay any attention to people who might use the word fraud. I am a professional.

I post to encourage others to know that they do not have to just do MT that you can move up.

You think I am a fraud, think it. That does not intimidate me at all.

What a sad attitude about professionalism.
I hope you mean a laidback lifestyle. You should ALWAYS be professional with your work, regardless if you are working from home in your PJs or working in an office in a business suit.

Professionalism is what is expected. It is how you will get rewarded.

AAMT sets the standards, whether you like them or not.

Sounds like you generally have a poor attitude toward anything that takes effort or education.

Respect and professionalism
I agree. We deserve more respect, our paychecks on time and being treated like humans and not machines. I can do without the gifts, but more money like someone else suggested sure would be nice. The first post was truly from the heart. Thank you for sharing!
You had an argument about her professionalism?

your bounds by discussing something like that with her?  I mean, after all, it's her company.  Is it really your place to talk to her about her professionalism when you work for her? 


And when you say she fired you - did she say you're fired?  Seems fishy to me that she'd email in an hour about work if she really did fire you.  And she doesn't have to fire you, she can just say she no longer needs your services.


dictionary
The dictionary that comes with the spellchecker is a demo. I can find it under programs and when I click on it, it will load. I can get a medical word and the meaning. Spellchecker is not working with the MS word program. I have tried the test words that Stedman's sent in their manual. The right spelling and wrong spelling are both underlined in red. When I search for the spellchecker windows can't find it. All programs have been closed, and I also have made sure the things in the word dictionary are checked off according to the manual. No luck. Thanks for replying----any more suggestions? s
Thank you. I appreciate the professionalism you displayed in your post.

Rigid standards of professionalism? lol please sm
Because I want you to not leave sissyluvspuppies@whoknows.com as your address, that makes it rigid?

Because I want you to save your darn resume with YOUR NAME ON IT, that makes it rigid? lol

Even funnier, that I want to be able to read through your resume/email without losing my eyesight because of your hideous stationary that is cartoons -- that makes it rigid?

I've a sneaking suspicion you are one who will take this free information and run with it should you ever be knocked off your high horse, lol.

If you don't have a resume, you're application won't be accepted at our company.

Go ahead. Don't apply. You're not breaking my heart, honey! lol


I'm just funnin' ya' but it is in the dictionary. lol

You need a dictionary to make sure you use the
Martyr = Victim.  Definately NOT what I am. 
Was going to work for them, but was NOT impressed with their lack of professionalism!!

Speech recognition, research, and professionalism
There are 2 different types of speech recognition, so maybe you need to do your research. Your answer certainly did not really explain much.

Being a true professional is certainly not being displayed by you shouting (using capital letters), so maybe you need to learn more about all these things.
It has a dictionary, just not Stedman's. You will need to add some entries as you go along, but
overall, it catches the incorrect spelling of words, it just doesn't give a lot of suggestions to correct spellings. That slows me down a bit as I rely on my Stedman's and have for many many years.
Thanks, does this include an expander and dictionary, or did you have to buy your own? Nm

Look on an urban dictionary. Its right by troll,
Do UTA?
Did references change to refrences in the dictionary? 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

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.
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.

Thanks for responding!  I will definately let you know once I have found out!



Word for Word
Has anyone had any experiences with them, good or bad?  TIA!
word for word
just wondering since there is an ad for IC on the job board.  they say pay commensurates with experience.  this job hunting is scary.  are there any good ones out there?
word for word thank you

I really appreciate it.  I would love an IC status as I had SE before with my company that no longer has it.  I would not mind trying something parttime till I see how the land lays.  Thanks again, very sweet!
