Attn: MTs at Precyse, MDI-FL.
I'm a normally high producer who can type all work types. Is it reasonable to think I could be at 250-300 LPH with your company in a month or two?
Do you have a stable work flow. Do you EVER run out of work if you do all work types and are willing to work on several accounts?
Any major negatives I need to know about your company? (I'm already aware that Precyse outsources).
Thanks for any information.
Attn: OSI management
If you guys want to save what's left of your poor reputation, you may want to make sure this little girl stays off this board. She can't even spell (look at her post above) and she's going on and on about being promoted to QA because she is a new girl and ya'll like to give the QA jobs to the new girls because of their excitement????!!!!
DAMAGE CONTROL! DAMAGE CONTROL!
ATTN: DOLFAN
Do you still work for Transolutions? I am thinking about making a change from Transcend to them. Can you give me some info? Thanks a lot.
ATTN - Judy
Basically what I said was true. I could not make any money with them because of the wasted time on demographics.
If you don't need benefits your best bet is Phoenix Medcom http://www.phoenixmedcom.com/ or MDI-MD http://www.transmdi.com/home/.
One of the best companies with benefits is Axolotl. http://www.axolotl.com/index.htm
ATTN: LINDA WITH ORACLE
Linda, I posted a response to you on the previous message regarding oracle but it has now been moved to the second page. I sent you an email through MTStars but you can also click on my name and send me an email. I would to get some additional information from you regarding Oracle.
TIA
ATTN: Transcenders - Pls provide admin.
that Transcend is offshoring, and they will be dealt with accordingly.
Attn: Ex-Heartland Employees re: the WARN Act
For any MTs who have been laid off from Heartland or anywhere else, you might want to look into the WARN Act at the Department of Labor web site, www.dol.gov. There might be resources available to help you.
ATTN: OSi employees wanting to leave
Opti-Script, Keystrokes, WEBMEDX. I went to work for one of these companies, and they are still hiring. Good luck. Much, much better than OSi.
Amherst so we make less money and they get more money for MQ and bigger bonuses. Our guidelines came
from Amherst.
The company takes the money out of your salary, before they cut the check. It is your earned money,

It's about "money, money, money, mmmoonnney. Singing The Apprentice song.

yep, gotta spend money to make money. NM
.
So does yours. Perhaps you need a basic money class to learn to keep money. sm
I am off today and appalled at reading the posts on here.
Are you always this bitter? Do you have a family and friends who are safe and healthy? Count your blessings instead of being so angry and you might see that this is not a bad field to be in. It has kept food on my table for 27 years and will continue to do so. Is it harder now? You bet, but it is not impossible to make a good living of $50,000. You just have to work hard, give it your all and appreciate the good companies that are out there.
If I were an MTSO, I would find out who all these people posting such bitter posts are and find replacements for them a.s.a.p. Negativity spreads like poison, and with the world in the state it is, we should bond together not make it worse.
Money is not the root of all evil, the LOVE of money is. nm

Attn: Any Transcend employees or former employees
I have been offered a job with Transcend, but I am not completely sure about it yet and I need some input from you guys. I have read positives and negatives regarding this company but alot of it was pretty old information. Can anyone give me some recent feedback on them? Thanks very much!!!
you might be right on the money
If you think about it, they're sleazy and undermining enough to do something like that, cover their behinds. They better hurry up and drop the bomb, with the lack of work people are leaving. Come on MQ, screw us over already and get it done with.
money
I only made 7.6 cpl and that was clinic transcription (with 6 years experience at that). I was told there were no raises per se, but would be eligible for bonuses ($100) a time or two per year. That was earlier this year. I didn't stay with them long because more money came along.
If $184 for self only, that is a LOT of money.

Really, they just won't say where your money is at all? nm

More Money?
I thought I posted this a couple of days ago, but now that I'm looking for it, I don't see it. Anyway, I'd like opinions please. I've been working for a small MTSO for almost a year. I love the company and the work. When I first started working for them, they told me up front that they will only pay so much per line because they are a smaller company. I said that was fine. It was not a bad starting rate. Now that I've been with them for a little while, I feel like I would like to ask for an increased line rate. Is that wrong of me to do since they told me up front they will only pay so much?
No money
I've seen them put me on 7 different accounts Sat and today and put on bad dictators that just keep on coming. That is definitely cherrypicking. Just not making it with this company and have spent 6 months trying. Need to move on.
Not enough money
No kidding..it is really sad, seems that the faster I go, the less lines I have! I can' believe it. It is totally unsatisfactory to work so hard, sit for so long, to make peanuts.
Yep, right on the money
nm
Did you ever get your money from her?
I hope so.
Way too low...more money in MT - nm
x
Do you have your money though? That's SM
the question. If you do, great. If you've been told it's coming, then I guess I wouldn't consider the matter resolved until I had the money.
More money
I think I make more money working at home. I have never seen an on-site MT position that paid more than $18/hour and I make way beyond that. You probably have some stability working on site, but I wouldn't trade my flexibility for anything!!
NEVER put out money to get a job.
.
Yes she is, and for my money,
she's great!
How to get your money sm
Call the IRS on her and tell her you are really an employee. She will have to pay your SS for however long you worked there.... also for money owed, get a judgment against her and put a lien on what she owns.
They do not pay. They still owe me money! nm
nn
Not only did they take your money
for better conventions, they took (or helped facilitate to go) much of our work right out of the country to India and the Philippines.
Not a lot of money for me yet
I've not been lucky enough to find a great company to work for yet and I am now three years in and have had steady work. I make $12,000, mostly via VR. I would like to make double that and I think that would be enough.
I have tried testing for other companies and don't seem to test well enough on their computerized transcription tests. I do wish companies would give a few directions as to what they want on those tests because I am probably stuck in the mode of the specs my current company wants. I think that might be, at least in part, why I don't test as well.
I was recently hospitalized and am starting to get some serious copays to pay. Not being AIG, a car maker or banker, there certainly will not be a bailout or stimulus package for me. Maybe I should start trying to win the pot of gold from the powerball thing.
Whatever happened to just good honest decent employment opportunities in exchange for a good honest day's work? That's what I'd like to find.
I am glad many of you do well in MT. When I find the right place, I believe I will too and am looking forward to that day because I actually do need a job where I can work from home for a number of reasons.
Good luck to all.
of course it is about money
none for US MTs though.
Hey, it is their money and if they want
to use it to bring management in, that is their choice.
MONEY! (And the more of it, the better.)
Money
2 gigs, one 4 hours a day, one 3 hours a day, total - $1000 week.
Is the money really better...
If you work in a hospital rather than at home? My income here at home just isn't cutting it and I work my butt off to type over full-time and receive no incentive to do so..
Has anyone worked in a hospital and got paid significantly more/liked it better than working at home?
Money
Sure, you can make lots of money if the right things come into play. You have to stay with that company FOREVER and they can never change much. The doctors have to stay put too. Of course that's not reality. People change jobs, life happens. Up until I left CA, I was making around $50,000 annually (still don't know why I felt I needed a change) from home with no sweat but that was after being with the same company and working with the same doctors for over 15 years. Now, I'm lucky if I break the $30,000 mark.
The funny thing is, I could always tell when someone new was working or we had a new back-up service because the doctors would start spelling EVERYTHING. They get to know their Transcriptionist and their capabilities.
I even had a doctor call me once to dictate reports to me over the phone because he left the state and had forgotten to do them. This was of course before things were automated and we were still using tapes. Talk about nerve racking.
More money
Spoken like a true cherry picker! Funny I don't recall posting anything about the lack of money I make. But while we're on the subject, I'd also make more if I cherry picked, eh? Something I'm sure you know all about. Snooping? What an odd choice of words. I have every right to know what pathetic so-called MTs are too lazy to spend their time suffering through a miserable ESL, choosing instead to clock out, eat a doughnut and then clock back in to avoid doing a tough dictation. In any event, no more snooping from anybody, so back to your cherrypicking with no fear. Unless maybe management has something in the works for you, especially during this time of low work. No need for MTs who can only do the easy stuff.
Wish I had the money
for text pay that I have had to add to VR reports at edit pay over the years. This just ain't right and never has been. If I do text, pay me text, if I do VR at least pay me for the experience and knowledge I need to make an accurate report out of crap. MTSO GREED and more GREED. Anybody get it yet, doubt very many MTSOs care about the good MTs anymore.
Less money for us
It seems with each change they implement the more money they make off of us. It seems like they have forgotten about us.
money
money money money...
Leadfeather, you are right on the money SM
I could have written your post myself, especially about standing alone. I worked for Medifax when they started cutting pay. Being the outspoken person I am, everyone wanted me to stand up and speak for all of us. Wanta know what happened? Yep, you guessed it. The powers that be weren't stupid, they gave token raises to the lower producers and there went the ballgame. Those MTs suddenly were "happy" THEY got a raise. I told Medifax to shove their job and moved on to MRC. Wanta know what happened? A few months later these "happy" MTs were calling me asking, "what are we going to DO?" (Medifux had taken back their raises and some more to go along with it.) My answer, "Beats me." Most of them ended up at MRC.
I was with MQ when they joined Philips too (bought out along with ddi), and I sure saw the handwriting on the wall. Some MTs think they are so good they can never be replaced. Wrong. I'd wager that in a few years MT, by whatever name it's called, will go back where it came from...to minimum wage jobs. I know of one very excellent MT who was trained by doing editing. I didn't train her but I know who did. She simply listened to the reports that had already been transcribed and looked up the terminology. They'll simply have maybe 1 lead person to oversee the work of 40? 200? "medical language specialists." MTs.....gone.
Show me the money
All their information is available on their website, www.PhoenixMedCom.com, including their cpl. For me, I'm making more money than I did at the large nationals without all the stress!
Show me the money
it's there for the taking. Help yourself.
Is there still money with any of these companies? (nm)
Can't argue with more money!
Best of luck on the new job!
WE'RE IN THE MONEY!!!
 I saw on another post where a Filipino Company is offering a whopping 4-7 cpl for IC work. Don't they know we are paying our own way here, taxes and everything? I tested with a company yesterday that had over 100 applications for a job posting. Easy test but "get in line folks"!
You're right on the money (no pun).
Even if they hire at the high end of $12-15 an hour (as advertised), straight typing 1,700 lines a day at 8.5 cpl = $144.50 per day (not counting incentives), compared to $120 for working 8 solid hours of VR (which can take longer than straight typing). I laugh every time I see their ad boasting $12-15 an hour. (And this is assuming the platform is a competent and reliable one, which is even a bigger laugh.) What's so great about $15 an hour to a Transcriptionist who can produce 2,000 lines a day? I agree that if you need to make serious money, you need to look elsewhere. I'm still with them full time (to keep my health insurance), but I have another full-time job with another company so I can pay my bills.
