It seems they are dodging questions about the supposed new line counter they've been
nm
I agree. The line counter is a pain, but I've checked lots of reports against MS Word

Thanks - I was hoping there was a quicker way
than doing them each individually. Very interested to see the difference. Probably much better at this (as far as line count/day) than I thought, huh?
Sometimes I get a quicker answer here than with supervisorNM

I hear you. Unfortunately, I don't buy the quicker TAT issue, but...
feel the outsourcing overseas is taking place because the companies can pay the Indian MTs much cheaper than the U.S. MT. Just my opinion of course, but common sense to believe this is the reason. More profit for the company. In my years of experience (and I may be wrong)very few doctors or hospitals expect overnight turnaround on their transcriptions. Furthermore, if many of these docs knew they were getting overnight TAT by sending the work to India, I think they would be agreeable to the old 24-48 hour TAT.
The 8 hr day from what I can tell only builds PTO at a quicker rate. SM
The insurance is outrageous at over $800 a month so I won't be taking that. Makes me reconsider just staying an IC.
They have improved the platform recently and it's much quicker.
While the accounts I am on are high ESL, with the QA support and the community website for samples, I actually do well and like the accounts. Pay is always on time, the incentives are good. I like the company. You may too.
You get quicker replies if you put company name in subject line

I don't use my own counter
because the counts don't seem far off to me (that's why I asked how far off)... If you are talking a smallish amount you should foget about it IMHO because at least TT PAYS ON TIME and is very receptive to feedback.
Remember not all companies use the same counting formulas...
Softscript line counter
Does anyone know what platform they use or if they use a platform. How do they count lines. Newbie and confused. Thank you.
and the line counter is a cheat
I swear their line counter is rigged.
Precyse's line counter sux

Does anyone on here use Sylcount line counter and can you tell me how you like it. nm

Pay is on time but they use a Word counter. sm
I agree with the OP that it is not great great pay. The accounts are not too great either. The better work is cherry-picked by the owner, and other good work given to the pets. They also pester you nonstop to work all 7 days of the week.
OSI Line Counter - Must Vent!!
I know this is probably petty, but does anyone else notice the line counter at OSi goes down every single weekend?? Do they disable it to keep us from knowing how much we've typed, afraid we might not work as much?? This is so irritating. I like to keep track of how much I've done and this is very frustarting. I hate just sitting here typing in the dark.
I never liked them having an external line counter..sm
when I worked for them. I thought it was quite odd. I like to know what I am typing as I finish each report, etc.
Softscript line counter, where did the posts go
regarding this. We, previous and PAST, employees have a right to tell which companies rip MTs off and they are the worst. Line counts change day to day.
New software? Hope its a new line counter
cause theirs is way off.
Can ayone tell me how the line counter work in MS Word please. nm

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
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.
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.
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
nm
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?
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 work for them, and I have dial up internet access.
What platforms give you access to old reports?
NM...
FYI, any message board, any at all, have access to IP addies
Some people lol
WMX'ers, can you access the Community Page? sm
It will not let me access it, although it did last night. I just wanted to check with y'all before contacting someone at the company. Thanks!
Midwest Transcription? Anyone know of this company. Cannot access archives. TIA. nm

Who knows? When I used it, couldnt access line count and hear others saying the same.

Whatever that company is, they absolutely do not have access to our resume bank.

I do not have access to her phone number. I can just assume she has already hired all the help
she needed, but thanks...
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.
