Tell me about their arrogance! The apartment house I live in is loaded with them. They are dirty, they are loud and arrogant. It's terrible.

    you understand each other because you care to, there is the difference. Have a nice day!
    LOL-they are probably all Indians.

    The company I work for sends all of the easiest work from each account to the foreign freaks --- leaving the hardest work for the American transcriptionists, who are expected to still maintain greater than 98% accuracy, and the American transcriptionists who were sending too much to QA were fired!!!!
    not just Indians
    One company now is going to train Vietnamese, another Chinese (just what we need, a communist country with our information).  I frankly would trust the Indians more than any of them, including the Filippinos.  The Indians have been our allies for years and years.  The Filippinos are dreadful to work with.  The company I work for only uses them and they are absolutely horrible with errors that could kill somebody. As a QA we try to teach them how to do it right and all we get back are incredibly rude emails from them.  They even say they don't have time to spellcheck, nor will they, and their QA only opens the files and sends them on.  At the risk of losing the accounts, my company tells us now not to anger them, we need them.  They used to get points deducted for mistakes, now they don't, but the domestics sure do.  It's like we are THEIR employees.  They are the worst MTs and the nastiest people I've ever dealt with.  I would any day rather work with Indians.  They were polite, respectful, always answered emails, always made attempts to do better.  The others are cocky and could care less what we think or what we need.  Needless to say, I'm trying desperately to find another job.  I don't work for offshores, nor will I.  This company now is just pushing through the files without QA because they don't want to hire even though we keep telling them the files are horrible and they could come back on the company legally, but it's all in the money.  Less QA = more money.  I would NEVER go to a hospital or clinic my company does the transcription for, NEVER.
    Indians by far!!!

    We have been taken over by the Indians!

    THE POST IS NOT ABOUT INDIANS BUT ABOUT AMERICAN COMPANIES
    that want to send their work overseas and train them to transcribe it. I want to know why the moderators feel it is okay to post jobs from spheris and healthscribe and others that were mentioned in the article when they undoubtedly hire us in the US until they can train more transcriptionists overseas and then leave us high and dry.
    Yuck !!! Will take Pakistanis and Indians over Asians any day.... nm

    Weren't the Indians given a reduced rate to get CMT?
    p
    To me they are harder than Indians, Spanish or anything else. Strange.
    nm
    I get it. They are paying the indians 1 or 2 cents a line,
    which isn't much to us but it is to them, and then they just pay QA people a few cents more a line to edit the crap that comes back (probably no worse than correcting some ASR) and there ya go. $$$$$
    Focus is run by a bunch of Indians who don't know what they're doing.

    Not many. A lot of Indians use Canada as a crutch to gain US business and
    for processing.  You'd probably do better at MTGab since it is a Canadian MT site.
    better or worse than the Indians saying womting, wenous insufficiency...
    Cannot stand hearing the *w* unstead of the *v*!
    They recently got rid of all their Canadian MTs, guess to make room for more Indians. nm

    You must live on the east coast..sm
    I used to live there too and it was either rain, humidity or hurricanes. I feel your pain, and I am so glad I moved back to the midwest. I wish you luck. Keep your powder dry!.
    The East Coast is a big place.
    The going line rate in NYC or Boston would probably not fly in SC or FL. Your best bet is to call around to some clinics in your area and see what they're paying. Also, I would bill by character line, not report. JMO
    I'm in East Central Indiana and
    have Comcast.  When we first had it, it was down all the time.  It turned out to be a faulty modem, which they had supplied.  Once they changed that out, they have been incredibly reliable.  It is very, very rare that they are down, and if they are it is usually less than an hour. 
    they're back east... thank you for the info nm

    Come back east, I'm making 17 per hour and for 300,000 you get a

    East coast will pay that amount and even go higher

    Hey! I'm having a good time. Jade East
    men's cologne?  Anyone remember that?  I remember buying my first boyfriend some for Christmas (1966).  The bottle was a special edition, shaped like a pagoda!
    11 to midnite East coast time
    is when they'll be watching it.
    Two of them are metro one Midwest and one East Coast so....
    that means many, many physicians, probably hard to get used to them, probably teaching hospital, so many residents? Many ESL's??? Probably huh? Hmmmm. Scary!

    When I go back East to visit relatives
    I am shocked that some things are a lot cheaper and briefly consider a move, but I adore the weather here.  I also don't get why they send all the good veggies/fruits back there and we get left with the icky ones (unless you go to a farmer's market - which is what I try to do).  Maybe the good ones survive the trip better and they figure we can deal with the shopworn ones locally.
    You are talking about the 'FAR EAST', NOT the ORIENT....sm.
    and the expression'oriental' is not meant derogatory, at all.
    I meant South Asian, of course, not East.

    OK, I'll bite -what on earth does the East Coast have to do with it?
    Please enlighten me!
    I tested at a local hospital on the East Coast...
    The pay was $14.82 per hour to start. They were paying medical unit secretaries $14.60. Also the job was per diem, needless to say I didn't take it.
    Are you hourly? Benefits? Pay? East/West/middle?nm

    I miss the food on the East Coast totally. sm
    Love Colorado to live, but really miss the culture and the food on the East Coast. I stop at a simple diner on the PA Turnpike in New Stanton, and a cheeseburger and cole slaw is better than any dinner I could get in Colorado to me.
    East Coast NYC area 18 cents a line, if ur a CMT

    That's not right. Usually people think when 'Orient' is mentioned of the Middle East,
    teh Middle East, also called Minor Asia, and the Arab countries in Northern Africa, like Egypt, Morocco, Libya, Tunesia, Algeria etc.....
    Don't you?

    Instead of 'oriental' one can say 'from the Orient.' also for persons. But one can say 'oriental', nothing wrong with that.

    A poster mentioned China, Japan, Philippines, Korea etc...yes, this is Asia, also called the 'Far East'.

    I do ER charts for East Jefferson, but of course those stopped yesterday, been worried about them nm

    Airport greeting gift for hubby returning from the Middle East?
    He has been gone for a year, working as a contractor.  What type of gift might a man like at our airport greeting (besides me)?  He is getting back in the evening, so I have really nice breakfast planned for the next day, but am wondering if he might like something special at the airport?  Do you get men flowers, balloons, what?  We have been married 23 years, but I am finding myself really nervous about this!  You all have the best ideas, so please pass them on! 
    looking for part-time Emdat work, preferably with clients in the East Coast
    I have been making an average of 10,000 lines per pay period (bimonthly), on QA-optional status, but my accounts are based in the West Coast while I am in the East Coast. I usually work from afternoon to night to reach my daily goal of at least 1000 lines, which is not good for my family.

    I would like to find part-time work to keep me busy in the mornings instead of nights. I prefer clinic accounts, ESLs or American dictators. I am willing to take a test anytime especially in the mornings EST.

    Thanks!
    I want our brave men and women fighting in the Middle East to come home safe and sound. sm

    Imagine the Christmas their families are having.  I am so grateful to them all. 


    I've interviewed Indian MT's. Most have two master's. Most Indians have two master's
    it is part of their government's specific plan of action for positioning India to be at the forefront of the global economy.
