I did address this in a couple of posts, actually
And extremely hard ESLs are usually much simpler on VR than straight typing, for some bizarre reason (I guess it's easier for technology to decipher them than the English-speaking ear?).
As I just said in a previous post, too many MTs overriding the system with personal preferences, unnecessary expansions, etc., will prevent the system from ever being able to process at its full potential.
Please note, however, that I'm not the only one posting who does very well with VR. While I made it a point to clarify that I had a very good account with good dictators, others are having success as well, presumably with different employers, different accounts, and different dictators.
And I'll pass on that offer to try out the Q. Life's too short for that particular brand of misery. I truly sympathize for all of you Q'ers every time I read the posts over there. It sounds just awful, so I'm going to take your word for it!
Reason I deleted a couple of posts here (SM)
The post above is answering the original thread.
If you wish to discuss any other topics on MQ, we have an MQ board for it.
Otherwise, simply stay to the topic and answer the original thread.

I've been following your posts for a couple of months now
and I advised you long ago this was not a reliable service - unless I am mistaken - and I could be. And my biggest question - are you absolutely positive you will get insurance with them? Last time I knew they hired ICs only. Truthfully, I would go for the unemployment and find another job with another service.
There's only a couple of accounts that way....sm
the majority of them don't have that type of set-up with the client and there's generally plenty of work available between a primary and secondary account to keep you busy.
As far as communication goes, I've received at least 1 e-mail a day on my account advising what the status of it was and any additional information that needed to be passed along. If you use an e-mail service such as hotmail you have to check your junk folder as sometimes your e-mail system will think their valid e-mails are junk mail and filter them out.
See thread a couple of posts below about TransTech. Very positive.

Look down just a couple posts to earlier today for info about OSI.

Diskriter had a couple of accounts that could be done
on dial up. I don't know if they still do or not. That was last year.
Keystrokes has at least a couple of accounts
that use Chartscript. I worked on it for quite a while and loved it. However, I'm not entirely sure if we're hiring at this moment. It wouldn't hurt to ask, though!
More accounts leaving in next couple (sm)
of months too. I noticed the new hires also, where are they getting their work from?
Read through old posts, discussed a few times the last couple of weeks. nt

there are a couple of recent posts on the main board, bout halfway down...
Also check the archives, you could do much better for yourself...
I was out a couple of minutes, mostly getting secondary and tertiary accounts. (sm)
I know when I hired on I was excited I could get days so easily, maybe we are just too many on one shift.
I agree, we need our own board where we can chat without being chastised for monopolizing the board.
I think the next time I run out I am switching to my part time job and trying to get back in here this evening.
Make your own nest. Find a couple of good
accounts, multiple companies if you have to. Work on them every day just to stay on top of it. I used to bend over backwards to try to help where needed, but all I ever got was kicked in the head, so now I just do my routine. When they start appreciating people, (and not just an occasional 'oh how wonderful you are' when they are backlogged and know you can do a lot of work), by some type of recognition like a raise or promotion, then you can go back to being the nice guy.
Still notice a couple of companies offering sign on bonus. Does it make you wonder? sm
Are they just an extremely exclusive type company, wanting only the best and willing to pay for it or is there something wrong they have to bribe people to come to work for them?
I am not sure, but think I am curious enough to apply to check it out.
Posts like these just make me want to
My teens insist posts like these are just cleverly-disguised troll posts, designed to inflame the board. Sadly, I don't think so. I honestly think many MTs are just totally completely you-fill-in-the-blank. Its disgusting. WHY ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH WOULD YOU EVEN CONSIDER WORKING FOR THIS COMPANY? I don't know the company, but have read the problems for weeks and months on this board, and obviously so have you, and you call late paychecks - and we're not talking a day here - late paychecks HOOPLA, and on top of the other major serious problems with the company, which again you have read, YOU WANT TO WORK FOR THEM?? Sick. Go work for them, and then don't clog up this forum with your hysterical whines when you don't get paid or don't have work or don't have a company or don't have whatever you are looking for by taking a loser job. Sheesh. When does this end?
As you can see from posts below, new hires make more than I do. nm
your posts always make me laugh.

These posts make me laugh. I don't SM
have time to put a target on someone's back and I doubt anyone else doing this job does either. Many of us have a production quota to meet, just like you do. Do you really think I am going to slow down my production so I can gather my peers to develop a strategy to make your life miserable? 
Your posts make me want to jump on the bandwagon...sm
and go to work for Proveros! If everybody who works there has your attitude, I'd sell pencils on the corner before I would even speak to a recruiter! CHILL OUT!
Your posts make my eyes bleed -

I don't understand why people make posts
telling people to stop whining. Isn't that the whole purpose? We work remotely and as a result we need this catalyst to communicate with one and other. If you don't like people venting then YOU should stay off!!
Ugh! I'm on too many accounts to make any $!
Seems like there are a lot of bosses here, this is not the right situation for me, I'm getting out ASAP. The benefits are so-so, I've had better and much cheaper.
If you have your own accounts and clients you can make that much $$$$. nm

to make sure the accounts are over-covered -- greed
FN is so very greedy. Keep 'em over-covered for TAT. Keep the gals scraping for bits. They would rather have way too many MTs than have just enough. I see things have certainly not changed...

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

Are they losing accounts. Do most of their accounts stay for long period of time. I have
heard pros and cons about the quality of their work. I guess it is much cheaper than other companies can offer.
A few posts about them about 3/4 of the way down this page between the DSG & Diskriter posts. nm

Because the girls that monitor the accounts in the office were told the accounts either go on DQS or
move on. All accounts to be with MQ must be on DQS and no more different platforms. ONE ONLY DQS. They can send more work overseas then.
MDI-FL but not all accounts. Only the internet-based ones. C-phone accounts are fine.
So, yes, let me clarify before everyone gets in an uproar.. There is work IF you want to use a C-phone. IF you signed up for an account that is internet-based, you will be disappointed. Not enough work to go around. Just my personal preference.. I have no desire to do a dial-up C-phone account using my long distance.
Some do and have good accounts and fully loaded ESL accounts
Take a look at what is happening in India. For the first time, workers there have money to get themselves into debt by buying high priced items (cars for example). They now protest lower castes being allowed into universities at almost double the previous allowance. Wait until they are highly in debt, begin to feel entitled to a wage equal to that paid inthe US and then, try to form unions, get tossed out into the street and sit back with some Ben and Jerry ice cream and watch the economy collapse and all that dictation come back across the ocean. Timing is everything.
Find out which accounts they are hiring for. They have some ESL accounts that are extremely
difficult to do. I dont know how many accounts they have altogether but as I say, a few are very difficult and I actually dont have a problem with ESLs but these accounts are almost totally ESL. I dont do them anymore.
Well it sounds like no work happens a lot at DSG. How are the accounts as far as decent accounts
and their QA.
I doubt you will make enough money in 5 hours a week to make

I make 4 cents a line, work part and make
over $500 a week on part.
Great post! I make 0.085 at Keystrokes and make more than at any sm
other company in the last 5 years. Why? Because there is always work for me. I love starting work each day, knowing that the company I work for appreciates me and has plenty of work. Transtech and Keystrokes sound very similar; those of us that work for either can count our blessings that we are not part of the cesspool or huge corporate mess that makes up the biggest few companies. We do not have to worry about our jobs getting sent overseas and we see a future in this business!!!
Different accounts have different platforms. Most accounts require sm
high speed but I am not sure if satellite is OK.
I don't think that they're hiring right now. I spoke with my lead on Thursday, who said they are focusing on making sure everyone has enough work and moving PTers to FT, eventually moving towards FT only with only weekends as PT. Not 100% sure when that is though.
Hmm..well it goes to show how different it can be between accounts. My "high" ESL accounts s
at WMX are pretty easy in my opinion as well. I wish I had a better answer for you. Hang in there if you can. You have to do what is right for you.

Lee Perfect I believe and TTS. Try putting your resume up as well. I got a ton of hits off of here and another transcription job board and another job website. Not allowed to give you names of the sites though.
Yeah, but we don't make what docs make. nm

There are a couple of ways....
You can either use Alt+tab and that will switch you toggle you between programs or you can just keep a notebook and write down the acc#. I thought this was going to really hurt my production but after you get use to doing it, it doesn't really seem to be a big deal at all. Good luck!
It took me a couple of weeks...
had to get all those shortcuts in but once you get used to it, it is okay. I always keep track of how many reports I do and I don't look at line count until I do so many. I can get my required line count in 6 hours or less and when I first started it was a lot longer than that. So, it does get better. 
A couple questions
Do they hire part-time? Do you need a C-phone or are they internet based?
Thanks
