Can anyone give me the name of the line counter that they use for counting their lines, it would be really appreciated.  I have used Abacus for years and recently also started using MT Stars. Since I myself have been having doubts about MY line count I have also tried several others.  There were 3 out of 5 counters that actually gave the exact same line count and the other 2 were very close, but they were all less than I-Chart. So, if you are an employee of Transtech and you use a counter that is giving you a count close to I-Chart all I want to know is what line counter do you use.  I also have used the word count tool included with Microsoft.  I was told previously that Microsoft Office counts were higher because it included headers and footers and other stuff, which I just recently found out was not the case at all. When using Microsoft Office word count with spaces the count does not include tabs, hard returns, headers, or footers.

Yes, I would like to purchase one or if it is more cost effective to have on built I would like to do that. The platform that I use now is VERY expensive. If some knows of a company that can build one for me I would appreciate the info.

similar to PRD+.  I think also if you have Smarttype, you can convert your abbreviations as well.   Another nice feature is that you get your line count with each individual report, as well as your total for the day with the amount of money you made -- kinda nice. 

I think the majority of the work is acute care, but I think there might be a few radiology and clinic accounts.  I'm really not sure.

Good luck!

I was part time with MQ and full time with KS and now will be KS only.  I am radiology, make great money and have a great lead.  I would recommend them to all MQ MTs that are thinking of leaving.

We do not have a referral bonus, I am just trying to help everyone that is feeling displaced.

More specifically, does TransTech's platform have a medical spellcheck?  TIA

1600 is not a fair minimum requirement.  Sure you can achieve 1600, it shouldn't be the required minimum.

I think they are interchangeable, meaning if you save a document in Word Perfect, you can open it up in Word (on the newer versions anyway).  I used to prefer Word Perfect over Word, but now I like Word better.  But, yes, they are very similar.

I had been trying to get it together to work for them for several weeks, months really.  Lots of emails back and forth.  They really wanted me, but I couldn't work it out for a long time.  Finally we set a date to get set up --- no contact all day from them.  The next day, she contacted me and we set up a definite time for yet the next afternoon --- but, again, I heard nothing from her that day.  I decided at that time that we had dragged each other along for long enough and I would just email her and tell her no thanks after all, which I did.  I really don't know if she is that busy or what, but an email would have been nicue (or getting some else in the office to call) when she wasn't going to come through for set-up.  I just ended up being afraid they would not be dependable for me. 

The lady you are emailing with is probably the owner, and I had talked to her on the phone several times - very nice.  I also read on a post here that she had built the company all herself and that it was a good place to work.  I just decided against it. 

I wouldn't say she was mean, just brusque and kind of haughty when offering pay that was completely junk!!

Had a bad experience with another company's recruiter also.  Never followed up with me over and over......then would make excuses on why she didn't get back to me, always sounded kind of hung-over.

Are these the best PR people they can come up with? 

Only it was from Meditech.   Never applied there.  Letter sounded pretty similar to yours though.

I think you made a great choice by asking and receiving more work, and I really hope that helps you.  I had tried to stay loyal to my company for years, but with so many changes and pay cuts I finally had enough, and decided it was time to go look for some different poo to tolerate, because every job has it, just depends on you about how much and what you want to put up with.  I looked through the archives here, looked on the company board, and then just started jumping on to different company sites and testing.  I received several offers after testing, which btw is not nearly as hard as I had feared after being in the same job for several years.  I found and accepted a better job that pays more, and I actually feel appreciated again.  I do know there are a lot of companies looking for 2nd and 3rd shift, and I did compromise on my hours and days, I am going from a M-F to a S-T shift, that should tell you something.  

Sometimes it just takes a little help from others to boost your confidence.  Some people sugar coat, some people vinegar coat, it all boils down to the same thing though.  See how the new account and work goes, and if you find you are still not happy, just start looking somewhere else.  Sometimes it just takes a different picture to make you happy.  Just don't be afraid to try.  You don't have to quit your current job to do it, use your slow time to train for the new job if that is the route you want to go. 

Even the mean people are feeling the crunch of this time of year, no matter how much they want you to believe they are not affected, that is bologna.  It is very well known it slows down this time of year.  Maybe that is why they are so mean.  Us nice sunshiny people probably do make them ill with all of our life is wonderful, LA te da, look on the bright side attitudes.  That is again a choice, you can either find something to be happy about or you can find something to be hateful about.  It is not right or wrong, it is people. 

So everybody quit bashing, and hope you all have a very Merry Christmas or whatever is your special holiday!
