How does your lines per hour being paid for ''no spaces'' add up compared to your previous experience being paid ''with spaces?'' How many lines less per hour do you type roughly? I am very leary about not being paid for spaces. Thanks

I should have been more specific; e-MTS Cquence platform does NOT pay for spaces (sm)
only black characters
Cquence pay is 65-character with NO spaces, only black characters which equates to
approximately 1.5 to 2 cents per line less than 65-character with spaces.
Cquence platform
Can anyone tell me if the Cquence platform is easy to work with and get lines relatively easy. Thanks

When I worked somewhere else we started using Reflections and it was so much faster and easier to type in. The system I am using is hard to type in just like the other that is why I wanted a terminal Emulator so that I could use it on my computer with the cable Any suggestions? Thanks for your reply
Cquence MT
Help me please has anyone every heard of Cquence MT or commonly called CMT . I am looking for a terminal emulator such as reflections,etc. that is compatible with this program. Thanks so much, Mamma J.
Do you mean Cquence?
If you do, it is really bad news. Very outdated.
Cquence
Oh no really?? Great, back to the drawing board then. Tell me more about it please??
Cquence
No, Cquence is not easy to work with. Not only is it not user friendly, but you cannot view past reports.

Anyone have Cquence experience?
Any information good or bad would be helpful...
TIA
My third week on Cquence...sm
And at first it was just arrghhh! But now I've got my routine down pat with it and my production the last few days has been very good. The line counts are true, in my account I am also getting paid for headers and footers, so I have no complaints.
For me there is ALWAYS a learning curve with a new platform. And yes, I think some platforms are quicker to handle than others ... I also think everyone's experience may be different, so I would encourage you to keep an open mind. It is turning out good for me after a few weeks. You can e-mail me if you have any other questions. 
CMT is part of Lanier's Cquence
on-line program part, as far as I know. There are 2 parts to it, the Next Wave Player and CMT. Cquence is the name of the entire program. What is it you want to do with it? Why an emulator?
All I know is that they use Cquence software. That's why I was wondering how it is to use. nm

I used Cquence for a couple years
I thought it was a pain in the rear.
Currently with eMTS, use Cquence and ChartScript.

Cquence is a Lanier system.It was okay but clumsy.

They use several software types, inc. CareFlow and cQuence,

MedRite XL, Cquence, and Winscribe are a few I've noted. nm

I think most places pay for spaces. I work for TransTech and they pay for both spaces
as well as punctuation. I would never work for an MTSO that doesn't.
Prior posts said they used CareFlow and Cquence software, both of which get knocked down as

65 with spaces versus 65 without spaces; how to calculate?
Can someone tell me if you are getting 9 cents per 65-character line with spaces how much you would need to be paid per line to make the same amount per line if you are offered a ''65-character line without spaces?'' Thank you very much
So, if not spaces paid, what cpl would be comparable to at least 9 cpl w/spaces, do you know??
Thanks.
All compaines count lines different--with spaces, without spaces, headers or no headers, 65 characte
a line, 75 characters, etc. I would ask each of them how they count their lines. Sometimes the way lines are counted does not make a company worth working for.
54 without spaces = 65 with spaces if you do the math nm

RISS is not a platform. RIS stands for Radiology Information System. The platform sm
would be EXText.
MDI-MD platform is fast, not full of problems like Transcend platform or MDI-FL
On Transcend platform you have to click, click, click all day and still get errors, change screens constantly - its a nightmare to work in.
Yes, SPi does use this platform....it's a great platform, but not worth working for SPi. nm

Bad Platform. I personally know of 3 MTs who left because of the platform.
If you are like me, the bottom line is wages and what I get in my check. I have never worked for Amphion, but I personally know of 3 MTs who worked part-time at Amphion before quitting their other service to see what Amphion had to offer before it was too late. All 3 quit Amphion and stayed with their other service because of the Amphion platform. Too hard to make any decent lines.
Something to think about.

Here is one post from a couple days back:

To all of us trying our hardest to grab our work when it is available, and then still only make 24 bucks a day because of the garbage platform.
$.08 w/spaces vs. $.09-.10 w/o spaces
Would you make about the same, i.e., $.08 with spaces versus $09-10 without spaces? Just wondering. Thanks.
They do not MTs for spaces. nm

They do not pay for spaces. nm.
nm.
spaces
I asked them about this specifically and they said that wasn't the case. I'm half tempted to have THEM sign a contracted stating everything they are telling me is true.....Lisa
Spaces!
 SoftScript just announced that they are paying for spaced again as of today!
but, did they tell you when the took the spaces away
before. Nice to give them back and admit they took them. Believe it when you see it.
spaces
Do most companies pay for spaces? Are spaces included in the standard 65 character count? Thanks
I know they pay for spaces,
I assumed they were paying the headers and footers, but I never specifically asked, so I can't say for sure.
They don't pay for spaces though

They pay .07 without spaces....
I applied when they first posted the job on MT Jobs. I received an email stating they only paid .07 cpl without spaces. They probably got a lot of resumes but once people found out the low pay, nobody was interested, which is probably why they are hiring again.
No spaces
If you negotiate a better line rate, along with their excellent platform, being paid for headers, and not running out of work, then I just don't get what the big deal is with spaces versus without. With spaces for less money doesn't cut it either. The bottom line is whether you are able to make a fair wage or not and I have found Cymed to be very fair.
Looks like they DO pay for spaces
CTech prefers to us the Net Line (defined below), however we will also price per visual black character and per report. For more information please see our Billing section.
I copied this from the site:
Price per NET/ASCII Line CTech defines a NET/ASCII Line as 65 printable alpha/numeric characters and spaces (no more than two consecutive spaces). ASCII table codes 13 (hard carriage return, only when needed) and 32-125 only. No fixed headers or footers are counted. The pitch and font style are defined by the client and do not impact the price per line. Attributes such as bolded letters, italics, and underlined characters are not charged. The total number of characters divided by 65 is the line count for the document.
They do pay for spaces. It says so right in the ad
They definitely do. I have an interview with them on Monday.
spaces
I was told they did but maybe it depends on the account. I've been with them for over a year and I can tell you, I'm a damn happy camper. Plenty of work, some challenging, but good, good people to work for. I'm IC and pay my own hospitalization, but what's the kick about that? You work to pay for it anyplace else and they call it a benefit. We all worked at MQ or anywhere else for benefits. I'm making over $1000 a week. I can work as much or as little, but I figure if I can't set aside some money to pay for my PTO, then I'm a pretty sorry manager. To me the taxes are no big deal. I'd rather earn a good paycheck, pay my own taxes and hospitalization than work for a company like MQ and I was there for 8 years.
They don't pay for SPACES ask them. nm

Do they pay for spaces?
Do they pay for spaces? Do they have a lot of ESLs?
No spaces
In my case, the line rate was higher than what was offered at the other services I talked to who did pay for spaces. Additionally, Cymed pays for headers which can offset some of that, along with a very efficient platform. For me, what I am averaging an hour has been comparable to other companies who paid for spaces.
Spaces or No spaces
Not sure what to do. I currently have two job offers. One is 65 cpl with spaces and the other is 65 cpl without spaces but with headers. Not sure which one to take. They are both offering the same amount of money. Which is better?
No spaces
Wondering what experienced MTs who are willing to work on a 65 character line without spaces think is a fair line rate to compensate for the counting method. Supposedly no spaces equals approximately 20%.
No Spaces
For the MTs who do not get paid for spaces, do you ever feel like all you ever get is long reports? Really feel like I am spinning my wheels lately. Getting paid for headers doesn't really offset much when every report is long.
TT DOES pay for spaces - huh?

Does MQ pay for spaces?
