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: All MTS, big money to be
A whopping .05 per line if you have 3 or more years of experience with TST. I encourage everybody to apply now. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
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
Her first name is not even Linda...
Her first name is NOT Linda, so could it be possible that the rest of your post is not credible either? You should, at the very least, get the facts correct before you post things, especially if they can ruin a person's reputation. I found the owner to be very accommodating and easy to work with, and as I said in my first post, I was paid in full. I left on very good terms and would not hesitate to work with her again in the future.
Hi Linda
Thank you for replying to my post. I would love to get some additional information regarding this company, if you would be willing to email me? I am curious as to benefits (I noticed that they are available to FT IC's), pay scale, etc. Thank you again for your help!
Is that you, Linda C?
How's it going?
Thanks, Linda s/m
Yep, the gourd is still around. No plans to change my moniker. I've been around a long time going back to the days when clerk/typists were the medical transcriptionists using the old manual typewriters, you know, the ones where you had to fling the carriage return at the end of every line? How great it was when the electric typewriters came into being. LOL
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.
Linda, don't worry about the VR.
 Linda, don't worry about how long it takes you to learn the shortcut keys in VR. You are doing great at just a few weeks into it. It will take time for the speed to build up. I have been doing MT work for 5 years, VR for 4 of those years and I love it. I kow there are some negative posts on this forum about VR, but it has allowed me to keep working as an MT even though I had so much pain with carpal tunnel syndrome. I routinely do 350-400 lph on DP ExText Turbo Speech and some MTs at my company do much higher than that. I see only positives in doing VR for someone like me, since I am no spring chicken.
Hang in there and give it more time; it will get MUCH easier and you will get fast very quickly.

Comments on Lee Perfect and Linda? nm

Linda got the "coffee" notion from me.
I was responding on a thread about 3 cents a line pay, suggesting that that rate might do quite well on an account with a good proportion of fairly clean reports coming through. I used to work on a couple of those, and the best reports were scary good--virtually no changes made. Some required few, most required some, and some required more than some. If you know what I mean. :)
I should, however, have gone on with the perspective that my company currently pays me over 7 cents a line because even the relatively good reports on these accounts require a great deal of cleanup. To put it mildly, what is an appropriate line rate for this work depends on the amount of editing needed.
Linda, you'll get still better, of course, but you seem to be on the right track in evaluating whether VR system + accounts +line rate equal a satisfactory bottom line.
BTW, sipping coffee (or eating dinner as someone else does) at 3 cents a line means you're scanning those reports intensely, full attention, as fast as you can manage. I definitely like it better than typing docs, but even on the best accounts it IS real work, with brain hard at the shoveling while fingers stand around holding the wheelbarrow.
Linda, you are soooo right, when I was younger and dumber....sm
I was sooo afraid of using shortcuts, I watched the screen like a hawk and typed everything verbatim and screwed myself out of so much money! I wondered what the secret was to all those MTs who would chat up a storm, and till make a higher line count than me, and they had less experience....They used their shortcuts/expanders for everything, and once I learned this and worked on mine, my line count zoomed and I consistently made high incentive pay and bonus....don't underestimate this tool. Thanks for bringing this up, Linda! 
Has anyone worked with Linda Kelley of TTS/Medware & can you tell me about your experience, please?
Has anyone worked with Linda Kelley of TTS/Medware, and can you please tell me about your experience?? THANKS SO VERY MUCH, your time is greatly appreciated!!!
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!!!
Can anyone tell me about Oracle?
?
Oracle?
Does anyone have any current info on what Oracle in like. Are they a good company to work for? The last posts were back in Feb 2005, not that positive, any new info on them?
oracle
Does anyone have any information, good or bad, about Oracle??
Oracle
Anyone have any info on this company?
Oracle, IC only?
Is Oracle IC only and do you know if you can use dial-up? You sound happy with them, do they pay for spaces? Thanks.
I'd try someone like Oracle
You can do IC with them, and they have someone in their accounting department that will actually figure out what your taxes should be for your paycheck, withdraw them out and give them to you in another check, so you can set aside. Then, if you really feel uncomfortable about the tax issue, you can prepay your taxes quarterly with the IRS. Transcend is not that flexible with employees, only with IC (that's what I am with them) - and even then, you'll be lucky, with their platform and stinky dictators, to make much money at all. Try Oracle ... you can change your schedule whenever you want, and there's the benefit of the tax lady who will help you with that aspect.
oracle
thank you LTMT, you helped alot
Oracle and JLG
Anyone have current info on working for Oracle? I did a search and looks like there were a lot of problems with platform but nice people. Do they still use the same platform? I thought I saw somewhere you had to have a C phone or do they have internet transfer now?
Also need on info on JLG. I've found a few posts. Can anyone currently working there tell me what line counts are required, how easy to get, and do use a platform called Vianeta and how is that to use, MT-friendly, have to enter demos? Thank you!!! Just trying to get a list going here of pros and cons, any help VERY much appreciated!
RE: oracle to Flo
Don't really know what the other posts were referring to but wanted to share my experience. I applied, got a response the same day and within one week was working with them. Wonderful people. I've worked for 3 other on line companies in the past. So far, this is the best experience of all of them. Flexible schedule and I never have run out of work. It may depend on what accounts you are capable of doing. I have accounts that don't seem to run dry and have experience in many fields of work so can do different accounts also. Platform does take a bit of time to get used to though and is a bit user unfriendly but not that bad really. Pay comes on time and direct deposit option at no cost (many charge for it). You have to weigh all the options I guess and see what is most valuable to you.
Oracle
Thank you very much. Unfortunately I haven't been an MT for long, about 2-1/2 years and on the website is says they need at least 3 years experience. I'll keep them in mind.
Oracle
Do you have an email address for Oracle or website address? Thanks in advance.

Oracle (sm)
Oracle is great. I worked for them recently but had to leave because of needing benefits.
Flexible - yes. You're an IC, and this is the company that comes closest to treating you as an IC. They give you a weekly quota, and you work when you want as long as you meet that quota. You work one weekend day.
Platform isn't bad. It's getting a bit dated, however. Software isn't written with MT input, which accounts for most of the problems MTs encounter with it. Still, it's not bad.
Some accounts are C-phone, some wav pedal. Depends on what account you do. You can probably rent equipment through them if you don't own it.
QA leaves you alone. You don't get QA reviews because they understand you're not their employee. I'm sure they do reviews of your work within the company, but you won't hear anything from QA as long as you're doing good work. None of the nitpicking that occurs at most companies.
Very little turnover. Friendly people in the office.
Keystrokes - I have no experience with them other than the things I read on this board. They seem totally unprofessional, and too many MTs seem to be having problems with them.
Oracle
I work for them and am real pleased so far. Everyone has different likes and dislikes. I like the flexibility. I have alot of experience and have worked with a few other companies as well as in the hospital and this is by far one of the best out there I think. Anything I can answer let me know.
Oracle
Hi,
Did you have to be persistent with getting hired? Also how is the platform. Are they with digital dictation yet?
They sound pretty good. I work with MQ. I know I should make the switch but just wandering if they would be good for long term?
oracle
Hi. anyone work for oracle transcription. how is the sound quality and software? thanks so much
oracle
hi. thinking of going with oracle. How is the sound quality and is software easy to use?
Oracle
Depends on the company. If you don't need the benefits, I don't know what's to worry about unless you'd be absolutely depending on a set income. With OTI I never, ever ran out of work. I can't say that for any regular employee position I've ever worked for.
There's nothing to fear with taxes. Simply pay about 25-30% of your gross income quarterly. Keep all your receipts and mileage. Just be disciplined about not touching that money that you set aside for taxes. You can even pay them over the Internet now.
Oracle sm
I would rethink about working at Oracle. Work is very low there right now. It looks like they overhired. I've been there 2 years and have never seen it this low. Great company, though.
Oracle
Does anyone have information about Oracle Transcription?
oracle
they kept telling me that they wanted to hire me. I had to make 3 calls after that since they were not calling me back. The recruiter even e-mailed me back to tell me they had an account that I could have and then did not call me back. After that I realized they were pulling my chain, not being honest or not organized; whatever you want to call it. I went with my instint and just dropped it.
W-2 Oracle
Anyone get their W2s or 1099s or whatever from Oracle yet?
For Oracle
What is the daily line count requirement for full-time employee status?

Does anyone know what the line count daily is for a full-time employee at Oracle?

Oracle?
 platform they use? I am also wondering if anyone works for them part-time just doing clinic or is it a mix of acute care and clinic? Thanks so much in advance.
Oracle....
My experience with them was good....I worked PT and as long as you got your lines in each day, they left you alone. Platform spellchecker was horrible though. Any questions had great response time....they use an IM type setup. Filling in all the demographics took lots of time, keeping my line count from what it could have been, so found something else. Pay was decent.
Oracle .......

Oracle
Can anybody tell me anything about Oracle? Good, bad, ugly? If you want to PM me, that is fine, too. I am thinking about applying with them. (I have 27 plus years of experience and am proficient in Bayscribe.)
Oracle
Would like current info regarding Oracle, platform, enough work, flexibility of working. Pros and cons or anything you care to add. Thanks
Oracle
Anyone at Oracle currently and happy there?
