just trying to help.

ps. if the money is there, why does that particular person's balance say zero?

does anyone know anything about Archivus in NC?  Relocating from NJ to NC and need help.

Yes, they are very flexible.  I don't have a set shift at all.  I gave the account coordinator an approximate schedule, but they don't make you stick to it or any other schedule.  You pretty much work whenever you want to.  The account I am working on has a TAT of 48 hours.  I think this may be the standard for most of their other accounts, but I'm not sure.  I only have one ESL doctor on my account, but I think for the most part they have a very low number of ESL docs.  They do give you the option of working part-time or full-time.  I started out part-time, then switched to full-time. 

Good luck on whatever you decide!

I work on cvmg.  How about you? 

Btw, Hello! Nice to mee you!

My brother and family live in SC.  If you want to email me sometime my home email is y2janet1@yahoo.com.  I live up in Burlington NC which is a long way from NJ where I came from about  a year ago.

Not much info in the archives on Archivus.  Any opinions on working for them?  Do they pay more than 9 cpl for an MT with over 10 yrs acute care experience?  Do they happen to have a 401K?

Thanks!

To my knowledge, they pay about as average as every one else.

Your experience could be way different than mine.  Though the recruiter/QA supervisor stated that I would have three months to get up to 1200 lines/day, she really wanted it immediately and kept reminding me of that fact via emails.

Transcribe+ is not compatible with Word.  With some platforms, you can use the same shortcut keys as in Word.  However, Transcribe + is not compatible and, when I asked, no one was able to tell me of any shortcuts available for Transcribe+.  I tried using my Instant Text program with Transcribe+ and there were a lot of problems.  I tried transcribing into notepad and cutting and pasting into Transcribe+, but that also caused problems.  So, my conclusion was that Transcribe+ was not very productive. 

I was able to accomplish approximately 100 lines per hour at Archivus with a Transcribe+ account that originates in Florida, which required a ton of lookups for doctor names and geographical information.  It seemed that the client was not very helpful in providing this information.  The recruiter/QA supervisor was ever so quick to defend QA but slow to help me, even when I was 100% sure that QA had erred. She did not allow disagreement with QA.  In fact, if QA had a complaint and I asked what report they were referring to, this recruiter/QA supervisor replied that QA did not have time to respond to my request for further information. 

That Florida account had some of the worse non-ESL dictators that I have ever encountered.

Transcribe+ is not the only platform that Archivus uses.  I have also seen ads where Dictaphone ExtText was mentioned.  IMHO, Dictaphone ExtText is more user-friendly than Transcribe+.

With regards to startup timeline, it is based on the recruiter.  Once she decides she wants you to start, she expect you to be ready to go.  She seems very disorganized.  I found it interesting and disturbing that she never once spoke to me via phone; always emails.  I was afraid that my pay would somehow be late or inaccurate, but it was amazingly accurate and on time (direct deposit).

HTH.
