ExText is notorious for this. Will depend on exactly what the company

I think it would depend on the account...
I've heard they have lots of accounts on the Lanier system, which requires the unlimited long distance, but I have never asked. Not sure on the satellite part.
That must depend on the account
I have made more with them than any other company and I have tried a lot of other companies.
It may depend on your account
I was told when I was hired a few months back that I needed to work either Sun-Thu or Tue-Sat, thereby working 1 weekend day every week. But that could be dependent upon the account you are assigned.
It does depend on the account
Just make sure you get more than one account. Some have more work than others. If you want to email me which account your getting put on then I can tell you what that account has been looking like.
I would think it would depend on the account.
Not all accounts require weekend coverage.
Must depend on account at OSI
I've worked there for 6 months and love it. No problems. I don't feel micromanaged. I have plenty of work and it seems to me like they basically just leave you alone and let you work.
May depend on account, but no 12
hour window, and again depending on account and shift worked there may be some flexibility, but if I was 15 minutes late for my shift they were calling me. It only happened once. All the times I was early or worked OT without OT pay didn't count for anything.
Must depend on the account
I've never had a problem making the line count for the pay period, whether VR or straight transcription, working an 8-hour day.
Guess it must depend on the account.
It's going to depend on your account
My account is pretty busy all the time, except for the holiday periods, when everyone is slow. Doctors take time off, too. I've only had it be busy at Christmas and then this past July 4th. The rest of the time, the work is really steady. They have a variety of accounts, though. The accounts they are hiring for, I believe, are for full time, so I am going to assume (!) that they have full time work to offer someone.
I think e-mail might depend on what account you do. SM
I got eight last Friday and 6 on Saturday. That's a lot as far as I am concerned and they all same the same thing.
As far as PT scheduling, it would depend on the account, but SM
with regard to the PT incentive plan, there is a certain number of lines that have to be done on a weekend day. I don't have it all in front of me right now to be more specific than that. Maybe someone else can help with that... Sorry :-/
may depend on account; mine needed demos filled in.

Amphion uses ExText
I would be more concerned about working for them than the test. There are so many demographics to fill in, that it isn't worth working for them. You cannot make any money. I worked for them for two months and saw it was a losing battle.
Who uses Dictaphone EXText besides OSi and Amphion?
.
IntelliType and Amphion use ExText to name a couple.

Think Amphion uses ExText. TransTech does but has mucho ESLs! nm

KS ExText account I was on...sm
did count headers and footers, you could go to a demographics box to look at your count for the day and the week, etc. I thought it was a really fat line count! But it's a backup account for me, so haven't been on it since I trained.
That was my first ExText account and frankly I thought it was pretty easy compared to some of the other platforms ... my production on it was great! Good luck to you. 
EXText new account
I loved that account but was told that the hospital did not need as many MTs as they originally thought. Upset because I loved the account. I have wanted an EXText ER account for so long, frustrating. Isn't there only 3 MTs working on it now? I thought it was overflow..
Are you on an ExText account or using the other software? Thx. nm
s
That's not how I got 2 accounts. They had ExText and we bid on the account. sm
They had had it for 3 or 4 years prior to that. Dictaphone had nothing to do with it.
Not the OP, but some of us are losing our ExText account and
s
If this is a dictaphone Extext account....
I think it has to be a USB port in the BACK of the computer, and it has to be the certain pedal with a phone jack end that plugs in to the special dictaphone little square box...
I hope that helps
Amphion OT account
Anyone else out there on the certain account that keeps getting asked for mandatory OT every single day. Today, they actually had the nerve to ask for 2 hours of mandatory OT. They have got to be kidding me!! Can they do this?! Are there labor laws or something. It is just out of control and ridiculous to say the least. I got told if I did not do the 2 hours today to plan on it for tomorrow. Give me a break; I have a life!!!!!
Add Keystrokes to the list. I have an account with ExText. nm

Anyone with Probity recently on their new ExText account?
s
Thanks! Yes, the account is ExText, so we would be on the same account. sm
They are still hiring if you change your mind. 
Also, I am working part-time for Encompass. The account I am on also uses ExText, and I would not hestitate to recommend Encompass to anyon either. I feel fortunate to have found 2 great companies.
If you want IC work, I am also still working on a limited basis for CardioScribes. It is just cardiology transcription and the work is easy. Their platform is Wordscript, which is a Word-based platform, VERY easy to use. However, I really prefer employee status now, plus with the above 2 jobs, I will be making about 1 cent more per line plus having benefits and my taxes taken out.
If you go somewhere else, or if you decide to stay where you are, good luck! 
Must be on a different account than I am - i've never run out of work with Amphion!
.
Amphion - do they do the Aurora SLMC ER account (Milwaukee)?
Does anyone know who does that account? Thanks.
9cpl and 11 cpl for weekends. Use ExText. My ExText version wasn't compatible with theirs

Current Amphion employee...I'm very happy. The part of Amphion I work with has no faxes, lists,s
minor demographic work..superb QA and feedback. Fellow MTs on same account are more than willing to help and now they also have mentor program. My pay is what they said. They do have different pay for different levels.
That would depend on what you need.
If you need consistent work, Transcend isn't for you. Most companies have dry spells now and then, but Transcend runs out A LOT. If you're a high producer, Transcend isn't for you because within the next 2 years the majority of their work will be editing VR. A moderate to high producer makes less money editing VR than transcribing. If you prefer to stay on the same account, Transcend isn't for you. You might be hired on an oncology account, but chances are you won't be working on that account in 4 months because the majority of the people there have at least 4 or 5 accounts before the end of their first year.
IMO, that would depend a lot on what your needs are.

Must depend on the
then...I work for them and do not have even 1 ESL...Love the company!
It would depend
I am a new MT. If I do not have samples or adequate feedback on a specific doc, I normally blank if I am not 100% certain of the word. That being said, I make every effort to write notes and hi-light anything that is mumbled through. It takes me anywhere from 3-5 jobs with that doc to become use to their voice and style of dictation. I feel for you though, it has got to be tough correcting the same thing over and over again.
It will depend on what is available.
There aren't set shifts necessarily. When I was hired, there were only evening shifts available, but I got to choose my start time. I was required to work 1 weekend day. I know others who had a wide variety of shifts offered to them including 12-hour windows. Just depends on what they need filled at the time.

I think it would depend
on your employment status. Are you an intern? Were you hired as an experienced MT? Generally speaking when a seasoned MT is hired there is an understanding, as with any job, that there is a probationary period. My experience with multiple, multiple employers has been that for a few days, often a few hours, one sends everything through Q.A. Assuming one knows their stuff and has a grasp of the account specs they move off full Q.A.
Would depend on the job.
No amount of money is worth it if I am doing a job I dislike. Also, I am making over $40,000 a year doing MT, so I would need to earn at least that if I was to switch jobs. Would not switch if it meant dropping back down to $30K as I coudln't afford to live off that in my current situation. So the pay would have to be in the higher range of that scale to make it worth a switch.
They depend on complacency. sm
It's working so far.
That will depend on your company, of course. nm

I honestly don't know...It may depend on (sm)
what work you are applying for, because I see on this board here they have several different positions. I've been practically begging for M-F work for years now, as the stuff I do (hospital, acute care) has always required me to work at least one weekend day. I always work holidays though, but that is my choice because I can't pass up the chance to earn the extra cash, so I've never asked about those. Again, I think it all depends on what type of work you do there.
I think that would depend if you're
employee status or IC/SE status. The IC/SE status would probably be able to work as much as you want, but the employee status has to watch overtime.
It does depend on where you live.
In fact, I didn't realize about the city license until on of the city investigators came out to investigate my neighbor and her business.
That would certainly depend if she is an IC or employee. nm

All of these factors depend on the

I think it would depend on the reason.
If there was no work that would be one thing. If there was work and you weren't doing it or consistently not getting your lines, then I think they would take a look at the reason why.
I had a friend who was IC who never got the required lines, refused to take on anymore accounts (she only had one) and they finally let her go.
MTs who depend on a paycheck will just love you.
There's a reason for everyone doing their fair share, and only more when asked. Clearly you don't care who you take money from.
Try finding private accounts where you aren't robbing a single mother of formula for her baby, will you?
It probably would depend on the specific software.
In my case, I have no problem. My IC position is done strictly in Word with downloading and uploading files to FTP, so it really does not require any particular software.
That would depend on your client base -
meaning if you have hospital accounts - the platform will have to interface with the hospital system.
If it is physician practices, that would be much easier.
You would probably need to sell your platform to your clients. Not quite sure what you are in need of; however, see what your clients are using and go from there. It can be very tricky and very costly.
Good luck!
