They aren't that big on quality. We have access to

the past 50 files on a doc so if you have questions or need samples you can pull them up.   I'm surprised at the gross errors I see and I'm not even looking for them.   I don't know what percentage of the work they QA, but they need to be doing more than they do.

Do you think all the headers and footers aren't getting counted? Lots of places aren't giving

They offshore, sound quality not great, quality
of work coming back from India is bad and they don't pay enough for editing it. 
you spelled quality qualitily maybe that is why you have quality issues.
Sorry, but even spell check misses stuff. You have to at least be able to spell to do this job. Well, you don't have to know English if you are Indian, but us Americans have to spell!
do not allow them access..................nm

No DSL access or cable either
where I live. Have satellite access, but hospital will not allow us to use this. For the past 10 years been using dial-up at 28K only, which can be frustrating at times, but I try to hang in there.

My goal is 1400 lines a day (7.5 hour shift), which I accomplish most days, but I do not have any little ones at home.

Hospital installing new web-based system soon, which they say will be much better!

I work for a large corporation with multiple smaller satellite facilities -- I work for one of the smaller facilities. Do you think we work for the same corporation?

I would encourage any experienced MT to work for a national sometime during their career. The experience and wealth of knowledge gained will last a lifetime. It takes an exceptional multi-tasker to be able to transcribe multiple accounts all in a day's work. But, DSL is required by most nationals.

Have you ever worked in a home-based setting?

If not, it takes a lot of discipline to work from home. I also encourage you to keep little ones in day care unless you can arrange to work while they sleep.

I personally am a little on the hyper side, like to move at fast pace and would rather be up working around the house. Warm sunny days are my worst -- love to be outdoors! So, I work in 2- to 4-hour blocks.

Wishing you the very best!
Any info on AMZ access?
They posted on the job boards.  Anyone have any info?
Can MT's access old reports?
.
You still have access to history, sm
If you received the memo on Thursday, read the second to last paragraph. You still have access via a different route. Try it.
If you "grant" them access, they can
My experience has been once you let them connect remotely to your computer, they can do whatever they want while they're in there...which is why I don't leave my desk while they're on there- at least in theory, you can see what they're doing. I worked for a company once that did not like their people to use certain programs, so if tech support was on there for one thing, they kinda looked around. In my case, they saw AOL running down at the bottom and promptly disconnected it and uninstalled it. It actually might be harder to know if they're doing a snapshot, but at least you should know exactly what they're looking at.
Need 2 PC, both with internet access
of course that is prob. DSL monthly fees. See there ad
Quality is quality, and really should have nothing to do with getting new accounts.
MQ isn't scheming against the MTs regarding QA. They just want a quality finished product.  Heck, half the slams on this board about MQ are the garbage work the MTs put out.  Talk about a no win situation! Getting used to a new account should not lower your quality by any real degree if you are a good MT.  Even getting used to new dictators or ESLs. Good MTs still produce quality work, and should not have to fret over QA. 
Control I tells me I have no right to access (sm)
Isn't it that way for all?  I'm new at this.
This is a dumb question but how do I access..sm
For the Record? I have never head of it and when I Googled it nothing came up. I want to check the ads there. Thanks.
Internet access while traveling
Just to add to the information regarding wireless Internet capabilities at several different hotels, it might benefit you to also check out places such as Panera Bread stores.  They are located throughout the country and many of their stores also offer WI-FI free of charge.  Also, you may want to consider going online and checking out WI-FI Hotspots.  Amazing what kinds of places have wireless these days!  (If you're an RV'er, you've really got it made!)  Good luck!
How easy is it to access old reports and
how far back do they go.
I don't get it. QA does not have access to our line counts
you couldn't make line count? From what I was told, only management and support had access to that.
Any other Keystrokers not able to access the intranet again?
It has been having a lot of problems this past week with going down. Has been down all day today.
Enterprise Access Problem?
Anyone else using AT&T having trouble logging in to Enterprise to work?  
need IC status and can't get high-speed access..sm
I need to find a company that will hire IC and using dial-up (can't get cable or DSL in my area).  I have over 20 years experience. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
The new version you can access line count.
Maybe you do not have good tech support or no one has shown you.
Same for TransTech - have access to previous reports

Just to advise, that company does not have access to MTStars

I can't seem to access the archives. Is this a good company?
D&L talks a good game.  Am frustrated running out of work with Medquist yet again!  Does anyone know if D&L is a decent company to work for? 
A counter this is quicker to access, but I've never seen anything

TTQA does not have access to MT line counts
Nor are they involved in hiring/firing.  Only give our opinion as to someone's quality. And I might add that TT management is as patient on working with someone with quality issues as any company I've seen in 20+ years in this business.  And low work is just part of being in this field.  TT is a good company. 
You use the Ctrl + keys to access everything in the program. Very

I recently downloaded a trial of spyware and it turns off ITV when IT is trying to access it.
Don't know if that may be your problem or not, but that is the only time I have had it happen. It alwasy links to IE and I haven't figured out how to stop that. Wish I could.

Why would you care. Bitter? I got a great job by not being hired by them with innumerable benefits and assigned to a nice a/c with great potential.

Don't get my way - do you mean expecting to be paid on time is being bitter and spoiled? What planet do you come from? LOL

And yes SD is said - it's not my fault they auto cap it - boy do you have issues!!!! sd is standard shorthand for said my friend. can't imagine even noticing something like that.
Uh, no. They aren't doing that

The letter I received a few months ago when I cancelled my membership said something quite different.  It had nothing to do with keeping the jobs US based.  It was all about quality healthcare documentation which is important; don't get me wrong there.  However, there was NOTHING in there stating anything about keeping this work here at all.  Instead it was all about the global marketplace and a cop-out.


I personally feel that the bulk of the healthcare industry knows cheaper doesn't necessarily mean better or even close to what is expected.  I don't think all of the jobs are going to disappear.


I have written, called and probably annoyed my senator and any other government official in my state about outsourcing private healthcare information.  India, for example, does not have stringent laws about private information like we do. 


We do have a personal responsibility though.  I have brought this up on other boards, but we need to ask our healthcare providers if their back office is handled here.  If not, choose another provider if possible.  Of course avoiding purchase of everything that comes from somewhere else is virtually impossible, but there are lots of other things.  This may also sound mean, but if I get on the phone with customer service somewhere and realize the person I am speaking with is offshore, I have my call transferred.  Nothing against the person, but I am not discussing my personal account information with someone who is not 100% required by law to protect that information.  Period.  If enough people take the intiative (not saying in this particular way), the gov't and other organizations won't have a choice but to listen. 


Outsourcing globally is not the trend right now.  I really think pulling together can stop it from becoming so.


Aren't they like about $40,000 ???
My car's OLD - only kind I can afford.
