File Transfer Protocol

File Transfer Protocol
Secure way to send and receive jobs, voice files, and other documents, etc.
Do my clients have to have a copy of MPTools to open the encrypted files?
s
typing off of a written copy instead of a voice file.
nm
I think the voice file is the next step. As far as the copy typing, sm
I didn't do as well as I thought I would either.  That not being able to back up more than a word kinda sucks.  Still, it was fun.  I guess I need to get out more - ha.
Neither. You can copy into Word but cannot copy back into Emdat.

Here's the protocol....sm
Once you accept the offer you'll be sent an official hire letter with the appropriate paperwork to fill out. Once they receive that in the office you'll be scheduled to have the software installed (usually within 1-2 days depending on when the paperwork is received and you're available) and after that you're scheduled for training - also usually within a couple of days according to when you're available.
May be set on incorrect file setting? type of file??
If you are using, for instance, Express Scribe to listen/transcribe, there are about 10 or so types of setting for the file you use, wav, mp3 etc.  If so, go to the top of screen, look for setting. I just click all of them. 
encrypted files
Is there a program out there that can be downloaded and used with any transcription program to encrypt files?
Satellite is secure. Wireless DSL is less secure than satellite but
yet companies accept that. Satellite can be very secure depending on how you have everything set up.
help receiving encrypted files through Express Scribe

Is there anyone out there who could tell me how I could listen to encrypted files in my Express Scribe which I receive through email???  I am able to receive and listen to them just fine when not encrypted, but cannot figure out how to set ES up to use a password.  When I click on the voice file in my inbox, it now takes me to ES, but displays an ERROR box stating  - unable to open DSS file, this means the file might not be a true DSS file or the file is corrupt


The files are coming from a dss program called Olympus if that matters.  Any insight would be greaaaatly appreciated!!!


Our method
I work as an IC as well as an employee. Here's what we do. We have a separate checking account that all of my checks from being an IC go into.  We don't have any checks for that account or anything.  It's just used as a depository of sorts.  My income from the other company where I'm an employee is just direct deposited into my regular checking account.  So, all of my IC checks go into this business checking account.  We then transfer usually around 35% into a separate savings account that we call the tax savings account.  The rest we transfer into the household checking account to pay bills, or depending on what's going on maybe into our regular savings account.  So, this business checking account will a lot of times have only a few dollars in it, because the money goes into it, but then is transferred right out first to the tax savings account, and then to the household checking account.  What's so great about this method, though, is that since everything I make as an IC goes into this account, and nothing else goes in there, I can easily just add up the deposits quarterly to find out my quarterly income.
According to THE method...
You should get about 1400 lines with this amount of work.  Do you?
The file to save is the SPF file.
 
My method to avoid
buying foreign-made clothing - THRIFT/RESALE/CONSIGNMENT shops.  It has been a very long time since I purchased any clothing new/retail, but I have managed to assemble a great professional wardrobe (in case I have to go get a ''real'' job - which is becoming a distinct possibility.)  I hit several nearby thrift stores every Tuesday when they open after restocking.  I don't keep up on where designer label clothes are actually made but I suspect that like most things they are assembled in third-world countries.  However,  I can own a guilt-free Ann Taylor suit by buying secondhand. I like to joke that I am not buying the clothing, only renting it.  Because when I'm tired of it, the stuff usually goes back to the place I got it.
transfer-MQ

i wanted to transfer out of the foxboro office because of a lack of work and at that time supposedly all transfers to other offices( i wanted to go to the Ohio MQ office) were frozen--foxboro is part of the amherst office--when we were first transferred to the foxboro office, all accounts went also, but since then some have gone to other vendors and what i found is that all the remaining accounts were overstaffed and no one had work--being in amherst is not that much better--i just want an office that has work--right now i am in 5 accounts


 


are you being transferred there sometime soon???


transfer
I was called 2 weeks ago by my supervisor at Foxboro, asking if I wanted to go primary on the ohio account. Didn't realize until I got a call from the Columbus office that I am getting transferred there. They are sending my new computer next week and I do the DQS training the following week.

There are transfers to be had - even without asking!
There is some convoluted method to figuring OT.

The guy in payroll told me how to figure it once, but I forgot it.  Something about figuring your total line count, dividing it by something to get your OT lines and then multiplying it time something else.  Your OT lines are then subtracted from your total lines, so if you have the incentive bonus over 13,000 and they subtract your OT lines and it's less than 13K, you don't qualify for the incentive bonus anymore.  I used to think it was counted for all the lines, but it's not if you have OT.


IntelliType's method of paying????

Could anyone explain to me how IntelliType's tiered method of paying works?  I have been offered a job with them but not sure I understand how this works.  The recruiter said they pay 8.25 cpl for the first 700 lines, then after that it goes up to 8.50 until you get to 1000, and then up again to whatever amount of lines to 8.75, etc.  How do you make any money this way?  It's so confusing to me.  Their ad states they pay 8-9 cpl, nothing about the tiered payment method.  Are you able to make a decent living this way?  It just seems very low for IC status.


Thanks for your help.


 


Ohio transfer
You are so lucky--the Ohio office is a great place to work for, all kinds of incentives and you do not have to ask for them, plenty of work--good luck--you will enjoying working there, my girlfriend asked to be transferred there from Foxboro about 3 months ago and it has turned out to be the best move that she could have made. She is in one acccount and has all the work that she needs--what I don't understand is if there is so much work in the amherst office and accounts that are out of TAT, why you were not transferred there????
Transfer of expansions

Does anyone know how to transfer expansions from one platform over to a new platform? 


Use the Quickest Search method I posted above. nm

Bayscribe is a bare bones method
and while it is easy it is really more cheap than MT friendly. I found the spellchecker nonexistent. You have to have some bells and whistles and is there anything more important to an MT than correctly spelled content? I used SpeedType with it and the lousy dictionary and no spellchecker drove me crazy. One opinion. I far prefer a more traditional transcription package .. there are no bargains!
Method of counting lines with ETrans Plus
I'm noticing something kind of fishy with the line counting method used by ETrans Plus out of Nashville after several weeks of working. What is strange is that I can load a template for a particular dictator with several lines of routine text and the line count doesn't adjust if I go from the top to the bottom but continues to count at the point of entry regardless of how many lines of text are between the top of the report  and where I jumped to in order to add new text. Has anybody with previous ETP employment experienced this?  Just curious and would like to be informed.
Using FTP download/upload Transfer (sm)
If a company uses FTP download/upload transfer method does that pretty much mean whatever is downloaded to you it has to be done at the end of the day and if you desire extra work you have to ask for it to be downloaded?  I prefer to sign on and get work without having to call the office and ask.  Would appreciate any info.  
Does anyone still use MSWord and a transfer program
either nonexistant companies or have gone to platforms.
How is the DocQscribe line count method controlled?

Every line counting software has a way to mark what to count and what not to count.  Does anyone know how this is done with DocQScribe or who controls this?

JX Secure
Anyone know anyting about MxSecure? I saw a job post somewhere for them. I have not heard that name before.
MX Secure
What is their pay schedule?
Oh, I see what you mean, misunderstood, I guess cause I can transfer funds....
NN
B4 you leave you should talk to your account mgr about a possible transfer
there are other teams in the company that still do straight typing, and have lots of work now.
Secure position
Honey, NOBODY in this day and age is in a secure position. You could very well be next----.
I would hardly call my job secure. sm
My company offshores more and more work every year and continues to lie about doing so. Our line rates have continually decreased, our production incentives have disappeared. Our site-specific demands are getting infintely more precise, no 2 sites alike, and we are expected to keep all of them straight and do MORE and more sites as time goes on, as our quality testing gets harder, and the ramifications for errors get steeper. They are doing their darndest to push us out and make us miserable in the process.
NOTHING about this job is secure. The benefits that are left have gotten significantly LESS beneficial while continuing to cost me MORE.
I AM making an ACTIVE effort to change careers but that takes time.
Angry? Sure I am. I've given nothing but quality work for a decade and receive zero recognition for my loyalty and committment.

I DO have scars from this industry. I have done everything right in this industry and I'm worse off than I was 5 years ago. So yeah, a $20 gift card to Target WOULD mean a LOT to me as an employee at Christmas.
I also work for Warminster. Thinking of trying to transfer out. It is now the NE and yes multiple
accounts all the time. Warminster has always done this and I hear the same for the NE so may be time to look at other MQ offices.
Can we all transfer out like that. Does she like her accounts in Ohio. They have huge universities
in Ohio, I mean huge.
I doubt it. I'm in a very secure position.

Jobs using FTP or secure website?
Any jobs still use FTP or just a secure website to download from?
few and far between, I don't think they consider satellite a secure route
for information.
At least you have a SECURE job with a GOOD company sm
that's not sending our work to India.
Escription doesn't seem secure
You can go into different hospital systems using the same install if you have the correct user name and password. That doesn't seem very secure to me. Anybody can hack into it.
MT has gone from being considered a secure job that provided a comfortable (sm)
middle-class living, to what it is now - sweatshop labor -with near 3rd-world conditions when it comes to how little it pays, loss of benefites, and how much one must work in order to earn half of what they made 15 years ago. Why am I still in it? Because I made the mistake of putting all my eggs in the MT basket years ago, when I was still young enough to change careers. But back then I didn't need or want to change careers. Now I'm too old to go back to school long enough to learn anything I could do that would pay decently (who wants a 70-year-old newbie at ANYthing?), and yet still a good 15 years away from retirement. So, although I keep looking around for something else, there is very little I could do at home on my own computer. I'm so burnt-out on offices & management that I doubt I could ever go back to an office ever again. The thought turns my stomach. I'm just hoping that I'll have enough in Soc. Security benefits when I'm finally eligible that I'll be able to get by on that AND a full-time (i.e., 60+ hours a week!) MT job.
Speed may not be the issue; wireless needs to be secure.

I feel totally secure with MQ...no problems NM
XX
The MTSO I work for does too. It actually makes me feel more secure sm
in knowing that they must be doing something right to live in a huge new house, drive Jaguars and Hummers and go on nice vacations. They've been around a while and it is nice to know that things are going well. I think that if my MTSO was broke all the time, it would be a sign that he/she did not have a good business sense and I would be worried that the company would be broke all the time too.

I also know that I am not the only one who feels this way. The owners do not flaunt it or rub our noses in it; instead, they have made improvements in the company at the same rate.

Christmas bonus? Not sure if we will get one. Do I care? Not really. I am greatful to be working steadily with a good wage and a good future.
Yeah, my old company told all of us our jobs were secure
They told us to go about our business and work as usual, that a merger or acquisition may be taking place, and we need not worry. In that first call, I asked the supervisor about sending it to India and got a very defensive answer. I should have learned!!! Six months later, 150 of us...bam!!! Laid off...no more US MT force for that company...
I plan on it as soon as I secure another position. The sooner the better. (no message).

nope, I'm telling you, I AM IN A SECURE POSITION - ain't nothing gonna happen
to my job.
You will not be able to copy those from a MQ
computer. Believe me, I tried EVERYTHING! My husband is a computer whiz and said they have some kind of lock on their system that you cannot copy or transfer to another computer, sorry, but like me, you'll just have to redo your expander, I know it's crap, but you'll make yourself crazy trying to copy it, cause it just won't happen.
This was moved from main board to company board. Replies don't transfer. nm

copy typing
What exactly is copy typing? Just curious. Thanks
