Ya, but it's not a spelling error, it's a grammar error!
Get it?
Now here's a spelling error!
foreing?
Relates to a posting below; correcting a spelling error n/m

The e-mail I got didn't say anything about an error. If
there was an error why not just say so and tell us what it is and put our mind at ease.   The email Thursday assuring us the money would be in our accounts by the end of the day or checks overnighted to us shouldn't have been sent when they know it wasn't going to happen.  Not e-mailing us first thing Friday to tell us what was going on didn't help things.  I'm fairly new so I'm not in panic mode yet, but then my bills are paid and my cabinets are stocked.  I do think the situation has been handled poorly and for top management not to address the situation is irresponsible.
Mine didn't say error either
This is the part that is so unsettling for me too.  And the fact that the human resource/payroll person doesn't even know what is going on and the fact they will not let her know what is going on is what is unsettling for me.  If they would just come right out and let us know what the heck is going on, then I would be a little more at ease.  But, no one is saying ANYTHING.  However, supposedly the money is there.......
Maybe they want to make sure people double check their spelling.
If you are not sure of how they are spelled, you really should look them up.

They are well known brands and easy to look up.
try to think how this didn't make sense to you
If the company pays for all those things and it is in *Word*, most likely you will be using either their line counter or Word's counter (found under Tools). Is this for an MTSO or your own account?

There has been a lot of discussion regarding this issue in the archives if you want to invest the time to research.
It almost looks like a memo she got and didn't make it into an ad.


I was also wondering about that $7000, is that per month, per pay period, maybe per year?


I never said I didn't make money being an MT. sm
I simply was exploring what would happen when a manager was informed they would take home half their pay in October. I don't know if I'll make money when my pay is cut. Will you when yours is cut?

Kudos for the rolling eyes, I wouldn't have thought of that.
My quotation marks didn't make it on.

Didn't make decision whether offshore

company or not from what I read.  What I stated was that they used to offshore, but I read a post the last couple of weeks that said they thought they quit offshoring.


My statement about them not being an offshore company is based on private conversations with the owner of the company. 


Actually I didn't quote a figure that I make per hour....sm
(it is above $25/hour, however) but I will say this: if the MT field is one's chosen area, then investing in it is a must. That means, instead of calling others who state they make healthy per-hour wages liars, your time would be better spent in getting as much info as possible in how that was achieved - and learning from it as well as adopting whatever it takes to help YOU. It means spending more time learning and less time bashing. It means concentration on retention of info, both old and new, to further your knowledge. It means learning what works best for you - not the next MT or whomever has posted on this board. It means taking feedback, again, without whining about it. I know of no other field where criticism isn't an essential factor - again, use it *positively* and don't let it affect you negatively! It means being open to trying new specialties when asked - you never know until you try - maybe it's just what you needed! There is a whole host of other things that you can try, but TRYING them is the key. Nothing ventured, nothing gained - and gain IS, after all, what it's all about, isn't it?
Well, I was thinking I couldn't make enough $$ but I truly didn't stay long enough..SM
to really give it a chance. I know that now. I started but got cold feet and went back to my old job. I really liked their benefits, and I'd be willing to give it time, this time, to get more used to the account and system, etc.

I was just wondering if they ever hired anyone back. Thanks for asking and not flamning. :)
ERROR....
I posted the above asking for information about Transform, Inc. and said they were located in Wisconsin.   I made a mistake they are located in Missouri.  Thanks.
error sm
supposed to be hire not high resistance....darn expander!
Not a lot of room for error

If you know the BOS 2.  Then apply.  If you don't.  Do not apply.  A very strict MTSO to work for. 


Then what you said in your first post was in error. sm
You specifically said, and I quote *The American Medical Association allows foreign nationals who practice in this country to join their association and nobody thinks a thing of it.*  That was an error then, right?  Because they are certifying and allow members from other countries, who have driven the working wage down and taken our jobs.  That is the reality.  Did you see where union workers are very angry about the illegal aliens. Why do you think that is?  Do you know that it is projected if the illegal aliens continue to flood this country, the minimum wage will never be raised.  Illegal aliens and offshoring benefit the greedy employer and the rest of the work force are punished for it.  I'm so happy you can be so magnanimous about it.  If you are certifying members in INDIA, PAKISTAN and TIMBUKTU, you should take the name AMERICAN out of the name of the association.  Period.  Full stop.  End.
you DO get an error message BUT

you can just bypass it.  it says that you are not connected so it cannot get rid of your job but just click cancel and when you connect it will get rid of the jobs.  it is the voice files it is trying to dispense.


Good luck with your Grandma!!


Have you figured your error out yet?
nm
Your post has an error....

If you do not proof your email when I applying for a job, how do we know you will be more careful when transcribing?


Does that include the recruiter proofreading a post on this board?  I see an error.  What gives?  I know you are not an MT, but can you find your own error?  


I would have to assume that works both ways.  Have a great day!


That's not the only problem they have. I get more error
messages and downtime from that crappy program than I spend working. Nothing is user friendly and its always one excuse after another why it can't be fixed.
that would be **** chained*** error n/m

My math error, sorry. sm

But it is not for me, I don't want to do 2000 lines a day, 250 lines an hour,  for 7.5/lines for $150. bucks.  Burn out.  Nobody should have to work like that to make a living not with the junk dictation.


but ya all go ahead..


If the error changes meaning of the report
Because that's dangerous. It should be something that almost never happens though.
Sorry, error made here and I meant to say
it was NOT as much as I first thought. Sorry :)
QA error values survey...
I am just curious and trying to get a randomized answer regarding error values when an editor/QA/QC audits reports.  For example:  Major medical error has what point value, minor English error has what point value, etc.  Also, if you don't mind stating what company this is or was for? If you would rather email me, you are more than welcome.
Subtle way of correcting her error. I like that.
nm
I guess it depends on what your error was.
x
Yes, they do. So sorry to have made an error and forced you to have (sm)
to take your time to correct those of us who are not perfect.


If one dares to point out an error a QA
made, one might just quit because she will make your life really nasty, especially when she's the supervisor's friend.
And this does not only apply to Axolotl. It happens everywhere.
This was in ERROR-was referring to Trans Tech!
This post below was in error. I thought you were referring to Transtech - all of the same applies, however, great company (Trans Tech) pay on time, etc etc:)
Not the Op, but do you not see a simple grammatical error in your post? nm
.
It all depends on the percentage of the error assessed.
I have worked for a couple of companies who charge an extremely high amount of points for punctuation errors.  If this is the case, one can definitely dip into the 80s with punctuation errors.
That is heard, not heart. Must be a subliminal error!
nm
YES it requires more, well-know 50% med. error rate in hospitals nm,
. We have much more to know and keeping educating across the board than most medical people as we cross across ALLL medical/surgical specialities and related disorders/meds/products etc that go with them
I once saw an Indian error where he/she changed the name of a famous street
which was mentioned in a report, just because he/she didn't realize it was a street name. The Indian MT changed it to say something real romantic and inaccurate, like The patient was on the street where the lovely sun sets. It took me just a moment to realize from the context that the dictator just mentioned the street name, Sunset Blvd. No way an American would change that!
Must have typed too much, lots of spaces taken out. I'm not error-ridden, what's up w/that? nm

ERROR: 1.60 PER MINUTE OF TRANSCRIPTION, HOWEVER, HAVE THE TIME SPENT WAS PASTING

spelling
conscientious
drs spelling more and more
Well, my doctors have started spelling EVERYTHING.  I just shake my head and hope we are not gonna lose the account due to awful transcription.
Well with spelling like that, it's no wonder.
Advise? Intensions? Please.

spelling
I just want to clarify  that I appreciated the help with the spelling....I know that recruiters look at this site and I am human and make mistakes...nobody should be offended.
Spelling
I have an idea on who you are.  I have never had a complaint with anyone on my spelling.  I will not have someone put my work down because you were upset that I could not offer you a position.  I have worked many years in this industry and very hard.  My MTs will tell you that I am there for them all day and evening to help.  I will not respond back to you as I do not have time to go back and forth over an issue like this. 
Spelling
I have no idea who you are then.  I try to be very professional when working with the MTs.  I am very busy and try to make sure all spelling is correct.  Nobody has complained to me personally but if you feel that way then I am sorry you do.  I work 14 hour days, 7 days a week so my eyes at times I am sure get tired.  I was just defending myself as I put much time into my work and with my MTs who I am all grateful for. 
Brush up on your spelling
Memorize "conscientious" and we'll talk.
spelling and clarification
Did not mean to offend.  You're right, it was in bad taste.  I was in my Gone With The Wind phase today.  Sorry, but some of the responders need to find something else to do, like playing with their keyboards for a change.  What a lack of intelligence is on this board.  Hope it does not show up in the doctor's reports.  One of the best MTs I ever worked with was black and we dished each other all the time, in fun, in good humor, and in love. 
enough already with checking spelling and - nm

Thanks! I was spelling it wrong. nt

oops on spelling
OK, so I meant great, not gret.  Sorry 'bout that.
