Just wondering if the platform is productive and if the money made is decent.
I have worked on too many platforms where you really struggled to get a good line count and make decent money. I'm just curious how easy it is to get lines on their platform.
Be wary of their platform. If it's Apex, I'd run. No money to be made there.
I would do whole pages and only end up with like 30 lines. No thanks. I would have starved at that rate and it could be their line counting system too. They do it based on only black visible lines which obviously means no spaces. Good luck though. If I remember right, they send you the footpedal but it's been a while.
I'm glad you are getting decent money
but I'm really hurt by this. I feel used now. 
Like I said before...you start making decent money
and they find a way to keep your line count down. After 8 years of this BS, I'm looking outside of transcription.
Believe me, one can make decent money at TransTech.
There is plenty of work and I don't think the incentive plan is low at all. A good MLS should have no problem hitting the first tier and the QA incentive should be automatic. The starting line rate is also one of the best I had run across. I'm not trying to convince anyone to come to TT, its not a good fit for everyone, just wanted to share my experience. If one is getting a negative vibe about a company, I don't blame them for not wanting to give them a try.
Are you able to make decent money? I don't mind editing either...
.
can you make decent money straight typing for .08 cpl?
with Expanders for low ESL docs?
Any of the former or current employees, can you make decent money there?
Thanks
Are there companies that use a decent platform?
Currently using ExText with Transnet and it is so slow. Need to find a company with some decent software that runs faster. Im getting frustrated, and some days are worse than others. Today is a worse day.
Me 3, made good money with less cpl than now. nm

I worked that way once, best money I ever made.

What companies have a decent platform to work on, .
have employee status, lots of work, and minimal confusion and disorganization? Can do the big 4 for acute care.
Was the platform decent and the dictators. Thanks much for responding. nm

maybe you'll get on a decent platform/account

Me, too. I've made so little money this month that I can't even
make my house payment. This is getting beyond ridiculous. If it's not one thing, it's another. I suppose I could go pawn my computer since I'm not getting any work.
I made excellent money in my very first year but ...
... that was about 13 years ago, and it was with a local MT who needed help for all her own accounts, all easy family practice office visits. She paid 9 cents gross line, didn't use a counter, just said to manually count the lines on each page (!) but was always at least $5 a page. We didn't use expanders, had no platform, just used a dictaphone machine hooked up to their office and just typed as it came in, 24-hour turnaround time, and anything that came in after 5 p.m. that day was considered the following days' work. It was great. Too bad the big corporations spoiled it for all the little guys out there like me and my mentor. I haven't made anywhere near what I made that first year since because the big corps ate up all the local accounts around here and won't pay more than 8 cents a line for clinic work. Sucks.
RN versus MT, which would involve the most money to be made. I am not sure if I want to go into RN
nursing or remain an MT. I wonder which one pays best?
You said it: "They made good money."
I don't mind working hard if I am getting paid accordingly. Doctors and nurses make good money to work weekends. My sister even gets a very nice shift differential for working evenings, nights, and weekends. I get none of that. I get the same 7 cpl regardles of when I work. Hardly seems worth the $12-13 an hour I make to give up the precious little time on the weekends I get to spend with my family. Guess each just has their own priorities in life and mine is not work.
if your platform is decent at OSI and you make line count....

Doing great! Made more money in one week at TT than I did in a whole month
at previous job!
Hated VR. Made less money that straight transcription..sm
I was extremely boring and mindless work. People say they doubled their production/lines with VR. That is true but remember if you make 0.08 straight typing and 0.04 doing VR, you are making the same amount of money. I made about 150 bucks less a month because the dictators were horrible and I had to end up typing almost all the reports over. I will never do it again.
I agree. I was with MQ and made fabulous money and worked for
large universities. Finally, I had enough and left 2 years ago and never looked back. It wasnt easy at first learning new hospitals but I am still at that place and am fine. Actually, I like learning new hospitals every now and then, takes care of the boredom. Now dont get me wrong, the money isnt as great, but I cant take the boredom. I lose my focus when I get like that and get sloppy I think. You just dont watch as closely so every now and then you need a reality check and get pulled back into shape, at least I do. I focus much more closely on new accounts.
perhaps she preparing for this for a long time. seems she made a ton of money. NM

JLG Transcription - Can anyone tell me about them? Pay,weekends, nice staff, decent platform? You
can email me because I want the God to honest truth! Thanks :)
Why is pay rate confidential? It is YOUR money that YOU made with YOUR hard work. You should be
:+
I worked there for abour 4-1/2 years and made excellent money.
I hated to leave but I was only scheduled PT but allowed to work up to 40 hours a week as I wanted. Certain family obligations made me have to choose between FT at Spheris or my local accounts and I chose my local accounts.
I was pulling in about $40,000 a year.
I am glad to hear that a lot of money can be made with MT work. This gives me hope for the future.

the platform is their own, made up according to sm
what transcriptionists want. it is VERY user friendly, super simple to learn to use.
Their platform made me want to pull my hair out!! (SM)
I found it relied too much on the mouse. This was back in April. I would consider going back if improvements were made to their platform. Has it gotten any better? You can e-mail me if you'd prefer. TIA
I left them to go with another company using the same platform and I made tons more..
It has to be in their line counting and they must not pay for spaces, headers, or footers even though they claim to. I did not know the difference until I switched company. I was shocked that I made in 2-3 hours what I struggled to make in 8-10 at Focus.. As far as I am concerned, they are a huge rip-off and on top of that, they have their Indian QA people checking your work, and if it does not meet their standards, you pay is docked. It was quite disturbing to say the least.
Maybe they are like me, love the platform, but can't make money with it
xx
Their platform is VERY time consume - no money

What speech/editing platform do you find the most profitable (money-wise for the MT, of course)?
What company uses it, please. Detest Dictaphone Exspeech. DQS was very user friendly. Any others?
Agreed. Could not make any money there. Platform is horrid. I wouldnt matter if you were paid 18 cpl
if you couldnt get a good line count in.
When I find decent people who know the value of decent wages, I will!

Thanks. Can you make any decent pay with them and are the accounts decent. What is your feeling
that. Thank you.

Hi NM. Thanks for the info. Have a great weekend.

Hi -- Is anyone familiar with WedMedx Company? Are they good to work for?
Thanks. LLD 
WedMedX
I have worked for them for almost three years and have never run out of work even during the holidays and there is OT almost every weekend. I was given three accounts when I started with them and just recently I was asked if I wanted to add on another account. They recently have been getting new accounts and just bought a company whose headquarters are in Tennessee.

i see there is Diskriter and diskriter, inc - what is the difference and is better than the other?
Can you use your own computer with Wedmedx or

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,

Recent info on Wedmedx
Does anyone have any recent comments, pros, cons, etc, about this company, I have searched the archives but all I come up with are posts dated either 2005/2006 and would like to know some current info, such as line rate, ESL percentage, steady accounts, how are they to work for? Any info would be appreciated, either on the board or in an e-mail. Thanks so much for any information anyone can provide.
