    Yep, eyetype is quite a piece of

    just one piece of advice...sm
    typing speed is the least of your skills needed.  Medical language is that in itself...a whole other language! It takes time to learn the terms, medicines, etc. It's not just a field you can jump into! As for which course is the best, I don't know, I went to a local tech school to learn! Good luck!
    It's a piece of cake :) sm
    They'll even send you instructions on how to program one (good thing, cuz I lost my instructions ages ago & hadn't used mine in a long time...it was sitting in a box in the basement).  It IS connected to your phone line, though.  I have caller ID, so if a call comes in when I'm working I get the call waiting beep & when I get the chance I check my voice mail if needed.  Don't be nervous at all about using one...personally, I like my C-phone
    Piece of cake - sm
    With the machine off, hit *99. Chose a button NOT already programmed, and enter 7040 then your complete telephone number followed by enter. That's it.
    Piece work
    Lots of professions are paid by *production* meaning you get paid for what you produce and turn in.

    The problem is MTs accepting LESS THAN what they are worth, not the way with which we are paid.
    What a sorry piece of work you are and

    Platform is a piece of cake. sm

    The platform is easy to navigate/use.  Workload is good.  You're given a primary and probably eventually a secondary.  If you don't have work for some odd reason, ASK!  The supervisors are more than willing to help you out. 


    Good luck!   I know many happy employees there. 


    I can't imagine a piece of work like you
    your company is doomed.
    yes, and the ones i have area piece of crap..sm
    i spend MOST of my time  resetting the receiver thingy...same goes for my cordless keyboard....uggg, that is frustrating.  I think I am going back to corded.
    and if you can be satisfied with being treated like a piece of crap

    Tested this week. Piece of cake. As someone else
    said just take a deep breath.   I am a good transcriptionist, but testing terrifies me, but I passed with flying colors and it wasn't near as hard as I feared it to be.   I've had some very difficult ones before.   I don't know if they have different tests for different types of work - acute care versus clinic, but it was still very easy.  
    That is like asking how long is a piece of string. No text

    You still looked didn't you. 


    I work on Winscribe for Spheris. Its a piece of cake. sm
    It shouldn't take no more than 5 minutes to learn.
    You are a piece of work. Real pro. Any company would be proud
    to have you.
    OhBrother sounds like a real piece of work,huh?
    Oy vey...........
    So problem is with the MT, not the company? You are a real piece of work.

    Hmmm..everyone got different tests huh..Mine were over 5 minutes a piece. I didn't do them. I thi
    someone is trying to get free work.
    nothing but repetative phrases, piece of cake. just be easy lines.
    and tons of just use my normal templates.

    Ever think of that?
    TransTech gets work from Dictaphone/Nuance; not the piece of equipment, but the co.

    TT uses Dictaphone's WordClient and ExSpeech platforms. 


    Dictaphone (the company) contracts with MTSO's to use their equipment and they (Dictaphone/Nuance) *divide* out the work each MTSO gets.  That is one of the reasons for OUR VERY LOW WORKLOAD anymore !!!!  We would be better off if we worked for a company who is not Dictaphone/Nuance-dependent for work. 


    The very few accounts Transtech has -- mostly  overflow accounts -- are Dictaphone/Nuance accounts.  We TransTech MT's wait for Dictaphone/Nuance to throw a few jobs our way, which is NOT happening.  All of TransTech MT's are making LESS than ever day-by-day, paycheck-by-paycheck.  Heads up ! ! ! ! ! ! !


    The above post is the most inconsiderate, cold-hearted, not to mention ignorant piece of work I'
    Do you even have a clue as to how much one cycle of IVF costs? Try 15K to 20K and it takes on average three cycles to achieve conception...if at all. How many people do you know wait until they have $20,000.00 saved before starting a family? Get real.

    Not that it's any of your business, having a child was not a mental issue for me. I initially didn't feel that it would be necessary to share the details of what led up to our infertility because I didn't see the relevance. Infertility is what it is. However, if sharing the details will prevent you or anyone else from drawing conclusions and posting abrasive half-truths, then here goes:

    My husband, against my wishes, had a vasectomy when our only daughter was 3. Coming from a big family, I always wanted at least two children. Long story short: We went to Texas for the first reversal and Arizona for the 2nd (5 years ago). We spent our entire savings, which was close to 20k and both surgeries failed. My daughter prayed for a baby brother or sister every night. I had this tremendous burden of guilt because our infertility was self-inflicted. I knew she would never be a big sister or even an aunt because of our selfishness.

    Infertility in and of itself is traumatic enough, but when it's self-inflicted, the guilt can be overwhelming. At least it was for me.

    There, now you have the facts. However, if you find it more entertaining to post over-the-top fabrications about my complete lack of control and severe mental issues, as you called it, knock yourself out.

    I have been pretty honest about my personal life and would appreciate it if you could just answer 2 simple questions.

    (1) Dou have any children?

    (2) In your opinion, do you feel that insurance companies should cover the cost of elective abortions?

    You can just answer yes or no. I'm not posting anymore on this thread so you won't get any arguments from me.
    MedQuisters, topics from the Company board are being moved to the MedQuist board. MQ posts on

    the first page of the Company board will be removed to open up space for other companies to post.  Enjoy the new Medquist board set up for you.

    probably more for another board, but...
    In response to the posts about Christmas, I remember the good old days when the Jewish radiologist I worked for took the whole staff out for a big Christmas dinner and gave us all generous bonuses. We in turn gave him and his wife Hanukkah gifts. It's called mutual respect and being big enough to accept and respect each others' differences without taking away anyone's right to celebrate according to their own beliefs.
    Where is the MQ board? (SM)
    See the links to specialty boards to the left. Medquist is the 4th link from the top.

    Look on the job board
     
    someone on this board once said that they (sm)
    give you a line raise after you are taken off 100% QA.  I was never told that and did not get it. 
    Board changes (SM)
    We have condensed the number of board forums to reduce the confusion on where to post what topics.

    You can view archives of any of the removed forums by clicking on the Home button at the bottom left and then scrolling to the end of the web page.

    If your topic does not have a specific board currently, the Main board will accommodate it.

    Thank you.

    there was a job on the other board sm
    that was paying 7 cpl for MT and part time supervisor. I don't think so.
    I was just on the La. board looking for La. MTs.

    I never see any postings from MTs of Louisiana and when I asked a question concerning LA MTs I would never get an answer.  What part of Louisiana are you located.  Do you work as an IC or employee or for a hospital?  I have been trying to get an estimate on what Louisiana MTs are paid as I think the amount that I was told by the hospital was too low.


    If it is the one from the Job board

    Then that is Terry and they are out of St. Louis MO.  I currently work for them.  Good company to work for.  Terry is very enthusiastic about MT.  I enjoy the accounts, very low ESL if that is a selling point for you.  We also have always had plenty of work and if ever I've run out I just let Terry know and she hooks me up with another account to fill my time. 


    HTH.


    MQ has their own board because they are the
    BIGGEST MTSO. Spheris will not allow employees to post anywhere anytime anything about them. Spheris joined up with Indian forces long, long ago in a HUGE volume. I have even read articles from Indian papers and Spheris, with Spheris wanting to reduce its US workload by half at least in order to use Indian labor. I have heard Spheris pay per line is very low. Not putting MQ up on a pedestal.  I have worked for both, and Spheris is evil #1, though they keep a very low secretive profile.
    I just saw on the job board
    @ mtjobs.com QDPRN allows the choice of Word or Wordperfect also. So there seems to be companies out there still using Word.
    Could you please tell me how to look at this board?
    //
    there were some on this board

    when FN changed your pay from per report to per line (I think that is what they did).  Those posts would be further down, around the date you were switched.  If you do a search, you should be able to bring them up and then you can email the posters if you want. 


    Is this the info you are looking for? 


    Isn't that what this board is for?
    I do agree with the above post - the Pro-KS people just haven't had a bad experience yet - but that doesn't mean it won't happen, they just won't be prepared when it does. Those of us who had bad or miserable experiences with KS should not be ridiculed for speaking our opinion or telling our stories. KS has had a clear-free ride on this board for a long time and it was about time for someone to start the rant on them that has happened today. They could not hide behind a gleeming reputation forever and get away with it. I am so happy that I beat them to the punch, as I described in a previous post - and now I enjoy working for another company that has been bashed on this board off and on for a long time, but I have no complaints. I have plenty of work and good lead people. Not everything is perfect, but what job is perfect. And, as with KS, I always try to stay a step ahead - and watch for signs that things are going awry. It pays off in the long run.
    But is job board
    Not for job ads? Seems they are advertising for business, not MTs.
    because this is a board where MTs
    voice their fears and concerns.  DAAAAAAA
