I just started with them about a 2 weeks ago. Yes, they have tons of work--I have turned away several different things from them. As far as the pay, it depends on what acct you are doing, but it is rather low.

Keep typing, my a__.
Good company to work for. Been here 10 years and not birthing out babies. Thank you very much.
D&L Typing
Does anyone have any info about D&L Typing? They have offered me some work, but I have never heard of them before. TIA
D&L Typing
I am not sure if they have accts that pay 9 or 10 cpl--that is something you will have to ask them. As far as the direct deposit, I don't believe they do, their website says that checks get mailed to you twice a month. Hope this helps :)

D&L Typing
They do have lots of work, they hire IC's only, and for themost part the people there are great.
They have issues, can't get into it here, but if you want steady work, they do have it.
Just keep your eyes and hears open, as with any company.
Any D&L Typing MTs out there get their
If they send out the checks on Tuesday, shouldn't you get it Wednesday or will it be Thursday?
d&l typing
I tried archives - but search keeps setting to main board and can't get company board. Anyway - I have had problems and wanted to see if anyone out there has too. - I will keep trying the search
JUST FOR TYPING WHAT?
What are you talking about?
D&L Typing
Web site for them is medicalreport.com. They hire often, some say they don't pay on time, some say they pay low, some say the staff is bad. Others say the opposite. I would say search but with the initials, nothing comes up. I say beware of any potential new client' as an IC. Hard to tell with this one because no one comments frequently like they do the other companies here - maybe they aren't known like I know them. I can tell you they like to fish, so you may get other responses here - all part of a fishing expedition. Like many of the other posts regarding them. They try to catch their ICs talking about them - like they could ever be confirmed.
I have nothing nice to say about them, to any question you may ask. so to be fair, you should wait for other comments for both sides.
Med Typing
Anybody know anything about Med Typing Service out of New York? Thanks for any info!
Don't you have typing to do?
You must just be an unemployer loser as someone down below stated  .
you know how when you are typing sm
the keys sound different? The only way I know how to describe it is like way back when I was learning to type, you can just hear the difference when you hit a wrong key. Now that is coming from someone who learned to type in the 60s! haha.
I don't know how to explain it. Maybe somebody else can, but when you are typing, don't you kind of hear the flow and know when you have a typo?
Somebody help me explain!
I saw one ad that was 5 cpl TYPING
I was completely flabbergasted!
I hope, hope, hope they got ZERO responses, but I have the feeling a SAHM or some other newb applied.
I need to stop coming to this board. It is depressing.
Did you see that they have a typing...sm
speed test on their site? I was tempted to take it but they asked for too much identifying information.
actually, the typing speed...
is not as important as learning to use an expander to do the work for you. This is the REAL key. I type perhaps 300+ words a minute using mine.
And like I said, if you weren't typing SM
the stuff, they'd have nothing to come back to you with. And how did they get angry with you anyway? Did you respond to their feedback with negativity and not take responsibility for knowing your account or the basics of transcription?
From knowing many people with your type of attitude over the years, 9 times out of 10 they are people who have the same problems at every job, don't take feedback well, think they are right all of the time and just generally cause problems. Instead of taking responsibility for your part in doing a job, you lay blame on your supervisors, other employees, etc.
copy typing
What exactly is copy typing? Just curious. Thanks
What's wrong with typing something right
the first time? My informal posts are indicative of my work quality, which is nearly error-free. I find it very hard to believe that some of these people who claim to have 99-100% QA and a nack for MT are being honest with themselves when they can't even spell simple English words. An occasional typo is one thing, but rampant grammar and spelling errors gives the impression that the person is either a lousy MT or a bored nonMT trying to start a flame war. If someone has to go back and proof every report to that extent, I don't see how they're making any money at all. Maybe that's the real reason behind wanting a higher line rate. The focus needs to be on quality, not quantity.
Excuse me for being honest. I don't nitpick at simple typos, but I'm tired of amateurs who think they have the nack ranting about deserving as much money as those of us who can do any report or ESL. How were any of you helping the original poster by telling her to demand more money and quit one MT company for another when she's obviously not ready yet?
try D&L typing service
I worked for them and they are closed on weekends so what they send you on Friday gives you all weekend to toggle it. Some of their work is also 48 hour turnaround time but depends on account. They pay on time also but no direct deposit.
I have D&L typing info
I worked for them for 3 years but part time. The good thing is you are set up with your own doctors so you have the same dictators constantly. They do pay on time but the cpl is not real high and depends on each doctor so you can be paid a different rate for each. Need anymore info let me know. What did they offer you for work?
D&L typing comment
I saw this post and was concerned for you. I worked for them from 2000 to 2003 and never had a problem with paychecks, however the owner was controlling it all at that time and every other thurs or fri she would send the paychecks out snail mail. They would get all data together on tues and wed to my knowledge then they would promptly go out and I never had a problem. She owner told me she would always welcome me back if I wanted to and even provide my accounts back to me but I have since learned I was ignored by the staff and not rehired. I believe she never found out I was available. I see a problem now that you mention this as I think there are many new turn over of employees in that office since I have worked there so they just don't care. I bet the owner would not like to hear that. I would call and ask for Donna - the owner or John her husband. They should be aware of this. I think her help is not doing her a favor. Maybe I am lucky for that staff to have ignored my request for rehire back in December. I would appreciate feedback on your situation in the future as I still was considering calling.

I'm new at this, so any help is much appreciated.
Question for D&L Typing ICs
I have been working as an IC for D&L since last year and really like the accounts I have but the pay is just soooo low. Are there any other MTs working for them that are experiencing this? I don't want to say anything to them about this because I really like what I am doing there. Do they go up on your line rate after you have worked for them for a while? Any info would be appreciated.
QED typing test
Took it 2 weeks ago and just got hired. Just start typing, copying the text above it. There is an automatic timer in it that will stop you after 3 minutes. If you try to get back into it and can't, call the company and they will reset the test for you. The whole thing is very easy! Good people and good company. Go for it!
D&L Typing Servcies?
Does anyone have any information about D&L Typing Services? I did not find anything when I searched. Thank you very much.
QED typing test
I've been working for them for about six weeks and find they are some of the nicest people in the world!!! Pay is average, accounts are good, and they always pay on time. Yes you use their computers so that the 24/7 help line knows exactly how to fix the problem instead of having to guess what's in your computer tha might be a problem they don't know about. Excellent company!!!
transcription and typing
I am working as an IC now myself and love it. I was a inhouse management for this company and the abuse was astounding. I had to leave when I realized that they did not get the fact the without the MT's they could not survive, adn with the inhouse personnell they would fall. i look forward to them having to close up shop. I am pursuing legal action against them for money that was stolen from my IRA, and will do all I can to see that they are truly seen for what they are. They not only give MTs a bad name, they give the industry a bad name. In cases like this it is not only the MTs who suffer but the people who work the office who have families and responsibilities, that this company shows no mercy for. They expect you to be available 24/7 and you are not allowed to associate with any past employee or their families or you will be fired. Meanwhile they can steal from you. They have bounced so many checks but the MTs never press charges, who can blame them, they want their money. But by not charging them, it makes it easier for them to do it to others.
transcription and typing
I believe that all MTs need to ask those questions to the business they are associated with, it really does not matter what the name is or where they are. Read the bulletins, everybody has a situation similar and eventually they get burned.
If you are working for a company and are worried about your future it does not matter what someone else may say, it is your experience and the answers you get to questions you ask that you find important. Good luck. and good try.
trans and typing
Back up plans are good. A smart employer and as IC we are our own employer, you must always have a backup. I understand your intentions fully, and hope you contiue to do well with whomever you contract with presently or in the future. Those questions should be asked, in one way or another to know who you work for. keep in mind you are not in the office so you only know what you are told or what you ask. maybe others here have other questions that could be asked too - If they have nothing to hide, the answers should come easily. You could always search for complaints to the Employee benefits division of the US Dept. Of labor, watch the news - I am sure there will be something eventually and read the papers, online or otherwise to find out some information on the company you work for. Even the Better Business Bureau could be helpful. Many other trans forums are out there to review. Even some myspace locations to review for some interesting information. again good luck, hope your company is a good one. There are several in PA as in any other state as well.
transcription and typing
No ask to grind, axe either. This forum is for the open opinions, comments etc of MTs. Maybe you are just one of those that do not wish to hear about others concerns. Good for you. I stated those questions should be asked in one way or another and investigated. It would be highly unprofessional to walk into any situation without knowing your turf. Only those with a problem would have difficulties answering them. Only problem I have is the ESL I am working on at this moment.
D&L Typing Service
Looks like they are having problems again keeping their staff - they also have ads on other sites for recruiters - they just hired one a couple of months ago and they left - I here their tech staff is dwindling down too. Makes you wonder why they have the high TAT - I heard they had problems paying, hope all is well with MTs still there. We all know when a company is having problems it is our bottom line that hurts.
Will you be typing Rad on a new account

Typing pool
Has anybody out there been in a typing pool and always running out of work? I find it very frustrating when there is work in the pool and all of a sudden every MT is on line. By the time you finish a report almost all of the work is gone and you are screwed and not making hardly anything. Has anybody experienced this? This month has been so slow it's ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
D&L Typing Service Inc.
Any info on this company?
Does anybody know anything about D&L Typing Service? TIA. nm

VR versus typing
Do you make more money with straight typing or VR? Just a poll. I do both and seem to make more straight typing. You would think VR would be quicker.
VR versus typing
I make WAYYYYYYYY more money typing that VR. There is no question about that at all. On one particular account that I do I can type almost as fast as he speaks so that is a great moneymaker, but even on my fast talking doctors there is no comparison to doing them in VR.
and there are more steps than typing. nm

BEWARE D&L TYPING!!!!
PLEASE! ANYONE CONSIDERING APPLYING AT D&L TYPING THINK TWICE BEFORE DOING SO! I AND SEVERAL PEOPLE I KNOW HAVE BEEN BURNED BY THIS COMPANY...TO THE TUNE OF NOT BEING PAID CORRECTLY OR ON TIME AND THEN WHEN THE CHECKS DO COME IN...YOU GUESSED IT....THEY BOUNCE!!!! DO NOT BE FOOLED BY ANY PROMISES THAT THIS COMPANY MAKES TO YOU!!!!!
D&L Typing Service
It seems like every time (prior to the most recent fun going on there) when someone spoke of the BAD THINGS there, there ws that one MT that knew it all and said how great it was, and even called out one poster saying she knew why and when she was let go. I recall someone tried to call them out as a manager, seems like it must be true. No one has anything nice to say now. Did she not get paid too, is that why she is so quiet now?
I think if you get a check and it bounces you need to press charges. I guarantee you if D&L is paid by a bad check they would raise the roof. Unfortunately, the roof is pretty much falling in on them now. Not so many more stories can be told by them - they are running out of excuses.
I hope the Transcriptionist keep up the good fight and get what is theirs, and of course - I hope any company that would do this to others gets what they deserve as well.
D&L Typing Service
Unfortunately D&L is not out of business - wishful thinking perhaps on your part (and mine). Also, they did have a manager for three years who quit last year amid some storm and controversy - possibly she knew and got out quick - or was there another scandal not mentioned - who knows? And the post referred to was probably posted by the owner sticking up for D&L posing as IC, if you search back through the pages you will know which one was discussed. You are right, not one old or current IC will stick up for any owner of D&L, but their employees were great people. I wish them and the IC well, and hope they get their money.
Typing Time
Approximately how long would it take to transcribe 60 minutes of dictation? I know there are many variables but just a rough estimate would be good. Thanks in advance!
The TMs do very little typing. They don't have time.
They are accountable for TAT, so if anything, they type what is out of TAT.
Yes, you make more typing ops. No
