Email will be fine.
You don't need an FTP site if he sends them to you by email, but you will need an encryption program to encrypt the voice files before mailing, and the document files you mail back. Express Scribe should be able to play the voice files, especially if the doctor uses the PDA dictate program they offer.
Even though this apparently is not the same company that SM

the original poster works for, I recognize my own company in this post, and I agree with what you are saying. Because of something that happened with my primary account a couple of years ago, I also have looked at others but have found no better offer than the deal I have with this company - have even tried out a few.  I now know that I need to concentrate on the job I have, rather than looking for another one.  I can make my own production somewhat better, as you have, just by my attitude and just dealing with things on a day to day, or, rather, report by report basis and just rolling with the punches.  It's the overall picture that counts. 


Thanks for your post. I enjoyed reading it, especially after the last few months when there had been a few negative threads, if you remember.  :)


Spheris did not get your email address here.
If you subscribe to Advance for HIM, they sell their mailing lists and info.  I've heard the AAMT does, too.  As the moderator and other posters said, nobody can get your email address from this site.  They can email you if you post it here, but they can't see the address.  They can even change the subject line from "Your post on MTStars" to something else.  As a former computer programmer, I know there is not a way to harvest your email address here.  MTStars done good in protecting our privacy.
Apparently so...since that what the company that's hiring
says:) Don't get all worked up now...just be humble and accept that you maybe pounced when you should have prodded:)
Email works fine with my Word docs are open...
it just doesn't work when ChartScript is open.
It's working fine for me. Email to support@mtstars.com with the exact problem

With my company, ICs use their own emails, employees have company email.

I have one from each company (MQ and Spheris) and
I have MQ's software loaded on my laptop for when I go out of town and want to work.


Spheris employee looking for better company.

Spheris just changed and is doing away with our primary accounts.  All jobs now will be received per TAT, which means a drop in line count again.  I've been with them almost six years, but seriously thinking about a change.  I've gone thru all their changes, each one dropped my pay check; can't take many more of these. 


I'm tired of being penalized because I forgot to put an "s" on the end of a word.  I understand quality, but geesh, come on, be realistic!  I'm tired of being put on accounts that I can't make my line count just because they're out of TAT.  That's not my fault, that's their fault for taking on more accounts than they have MTs for.  Sorry, I'll get off the pulpit.


I have searched the net and found so many companies; i.e. MedQuest; Spectra; MTC; RK Master; ALL Transcription, etc.  Anyone have information, good/bad, about these or other companies?  Any suggestions? 


Would you please email me about this company?
I am heart glad you found just the right job.  Best wishes and continued success to you.
no company email
None to me - sub sub contractor - what is the scoop?
email company
We are possibly going to be moving and switching internet companies.  Right now I only have dial up; hoping to have DSL, or at least wirless. Right now I am through a local company with Outlook Express and have also set up a yahoo account, and am using Express Scribe. What do you recommend for me to use in the future - keeping in mind that I may also get a laptop and do some traveling too.  TIA  
Please Email me with the company name. I'm
interviewing with a company that does hospital dictation and want to be sure that doesn't happen to me.  Thanks. 
Please email me with the company name!

5 jokes in my company email as of 7 p.m.

I agree that this is improper use of email, especially by our superiors !


My imail keeps telling me that I am 98% full, and need to delete messages without jokes being sent to fill up my mailbox, too. What would happen if all of us MQ MT's began sending out jokes via MQ COMPANY EMAIL. I don't think that would set well with MGMT ! We just don't have time to read jokes via company email. We are struggling to get in our lines in order to pay our light bills, etc.


Personally, I would prefer to only receive WORK-RELATED emails from my supervisor. I would prefer to read the jokes on my own time and of a subject of which I choose to read jokes about. It is just not what I want to do when I sit down to work -- read JOKES in emails from my supervisor.

I have my own company email with my new company.
I can't answer your questions in your original post, I can tell you that with my new company, I have my own company email account, and I much prefer it. My old company had us use our personal email accounts, and they listed everyone who received emails in the cc line. They really never maintained those lists, and I received emails from them for a full five months after I quit - that despite my repeatedly asking to be removed from lists. Because the list had been passed from one person to the next in the company, I kept having to block sender after sender. Finally I replied to all, for each and every email I had gotten over a month's time. Well, that pretty much ended it.
I like to keep work and personal separate as much as possible.
you didn't ask me, but email me and i will tell you what company i get paid for doing logs with..
@
Exactly - create an email folder specifically for that company sm
and save all pertinent emails in that folder (just drag and drop). I have one for each of the companies I work for and I keep everything for a minimum of 3 to 6 months, longer if I think it is important.
Please leave an email or email me at my address....click the email button. Thanks...nm

If you are having any problems validating your email addy, please email support@mtstars.com

KVMs $20-60. One internet connection. You'd have no email or a 2nd email acct for your 2nd puter.

I don't understand. I didn't get email from MT Stars, I got email from offshore people
is what I'm talking about. I'm not a liar and take offense to your insinuation.
They can send an email that goes to all MTs in one shot. I think she just means a courtesy email
would be nice. MQ is not getting any easier. My account has been picked over thoroughly when it went on DQS by ASR and I get all the remains because they only have a core group doing ASR which I think is wrong because you get all the bad dictators and it would be nice to be acknowledged that at least you know the person you can discuss problems with as they crop up. This is a big one and we have no manager anymore and no one to discuss this with at all in my office so you just sit here very day doing this work and no way to vent to someone that could offer some suggestions on this and other issues that come up to help relieve some of the stress of working this way.
Just send an email to the email link inside the post.

Again, because you entered your email address, you CAN receive email from anyone, but THEY

e-mail address because it is not revealed when they send mail because we have spam protection in place.  The only way they would know what your email address is, is if you reply to the email they send you.  If you don't want to receive any email from anyone, simply do not enter your email address in the Email field.

I intended to email it- already email the mods to remove

Not through the MTStars email server. Your email address is NOT
visible to anyone.  The only way your employer would know it is you is 1) if you respond when someone emails you, or 2) they recognize the way you write. 
tried to email, invalid poster or email it said nm

San Antonio; email me; I can give you email for MT sm

who is in San Antonio and may be able to help you.


I'm in Corpus.


Apparently not
I am personally becoming very sick of it. I think I am done with this company. I have had it to say the least.
Apparently
the "brain" part is still working, if that is all  he can think about.  Men are a trip.
I apparently I still have my job.

I just came inside from doing chores, settled down to my machine here to do another day's work, and have 2 instant messages sitting here from my bosses saying they got my e-mail, know I'm tired, but put 'stats' in my cue that needs to be done up right away.


Either it's a cruel joke or the company really is testing me to see exactly what my breaking point is. 


I appreciate the advice and the ears.  Thank you for lending me them. 


Apparently not.

Apparently they are (sm)
Any teacher/counselor/whatever who would tell a student that work "used" to be done offshore and makes it sound as if outsourcing is a thing of the past is either deliberately lying to that student or is sadly misinformed.

The part about the quality being so poor that it has to be edited before being returned to the client is accurate, but that hasn't stopped anything.

There are, of course, some jobs that have been brought back to the U.S. but unfortunately, U.S. MTs are now being asked -- make that EXPECTED to work for the same low wages as offshore MTs.

Between outsourcing and VR, I couldn't in good conscience suggest that anybody embark on a career as an MT at this point in time. There was a time when this seemed like a solid career choice - but that time has passed.

Anyone who is considering signing up for an expensive course needs to decide who to believe - someone who's been there and has 0 to gain financially from them...or someone who wants their money.
Apparently
an MT who may or may not be Indian...REALLY defensive if you read the entire thread when just a simple question was asked.

Yep, WAY too defensive and won't let it drop. I'd just laugh and say 'no' if someone asked me if I were in India. This one's practically frothing at the mouth which is kinda weird.
Apparently so!

Having been accused of being blunt, insensitive, racist, etc,  I thought I got where she was coming from.  And frankly, I don't remember seeing an LOL in her posts, though I admit to not having read all of them.   I just think it's silly to slam somebody, then add the LOL.  It's like taking a swing at someone, then saying "No hard feelings?"


Live and learn.  I've added to the list of posters whose posts I no longer open (it now numbers 2.)  Actually, it's kind of fun to read responses to someone's posts without having read the original, and having to guess at the content from the reactions. 


Apparently so, since there was no name for that post...my, my...
you certainly are one touchy little thing, eh?  I wasn't meaning to reply to you, as obviously you already have all the answers. 
apparently, WE are the stronger sex

Although I do not watch Survivor, from what you describe, the women were stronger than the men, correct?


Face it, women are way stronger than men. Why do ya think we have the babies? Cause the pregnancy alone would KILL a man!


 I love men, though, weakness and all! (Please, I am just kidding, ok!)


Apparently my vision is gone after

looking at a computer monitor all day.  There is supposed to be a MQ board with a link to the left???  Would someone have mercy on me and tell me if they see it because I sure don't see it.  Thanks!


Why is the MT's fault? Apparently he
is being allowed to do that by his supervisor.

It isn't any MT's fault -- given opportunity, then those who really want the money will make it.

I know that for myself I work my schedule. I do work extra quite a bit of the time -- at the request of my supervisor. They ask me specifically to work more.

Surely, you are not suggestion that I say, "Oh, I'm so sorry. I just can't work any extra. You see, MT Mary Poppins will get huffy because she will think I'm stealing her lines and then I will be called a greedy MT so I should forfeit money to be made for myself because of how SHE feels." ???

If you TRULY think that is reasonable, you are going to be miserable as long as you are in this job.

If I am asked to do more, I will do it as long as I am working in this business. It's NOT unfair to anyone. It is my opportunity to make money. Nothing is unfair about that.

Apparently, they are doing away with that. see link

Apparently he doesn't
1. Nothing.
2. Nothing else.
apparently not too bright the guy is. He is
also cheap. Making someone drive 5 hours is a tad cheap. He should invested in a flight if you live anywhere near an airport or a train. If you are as old as you say, he certainly was not doing you a favor :) (I am only playing with you). Maybe he was hoping you would keel over on the way.

In all seriousness though, someone like this, his personality will come out in court to be just like he is...a/k/a Archie Bunker though it is my guess that Archie might have been a tad more loveable.

Go get him!
For the network either, apparently.
BTW, I think it sucks that he left his wife and poor little ill baby for his new co-star. Glad it was canceled!!!
Apparently you did not read everything
They are still there. read well into the posting about what's for dinner, and I mean all of it. It is pretty sad when someone has to criticise what someone else is having for dinner and make rude comments about it. Read also down further to the posting about what they perceived to be a low paying job and read what some of the posters have to say about hiring MTs that have children and how unprofessional they are. It is enough to make your blood boil and I agree with the above poster. Negativity breeds negativity. People get defensive when they are being criticised and lash back with words. Just read all of the below carefully, and you will see what you missed.
you need therapy apparently
So you are telling me you don't think I have a great deal of experience because I've done this for 18 years???? I honestly don't know why I am stooping to your level but your nastiness is not warranted on here. How dare you and you know what YES, I have done this for 18 years so that pretty much does MAKE ME AN AUTHORITY!! I would go toe to toe with you ANYDAY! Now get off your soapbox and go harrass some other innocent person. You are exactly the kind of person a supervisor hates to have in their pool of transcriptionists and you are probably mad at me because I am an Editor and you can't cut the mustard as one. I would say you have a bad attitude because some editor at your job probably picks on your work daily. I see US MTs every day who don't even know how to spell English words much less medical ones. So just get off the nurse thing, nobody said she was going to work for your company or taking your job so just get over it. I also never said anywhere in any of my posts that she had the qualifications, I just asked a question......
Apparently, I cannot spell either...lol. NM
