Absolutely! If you're that dissatisfied with your job, find another one!
 Complaining on an anonymous message board to let off steam does nothing more than just that! Very nonproductive and passive/aggressive.
Dissatisfied MTs, post initials of company here
Let's take a poll
editor pay
Do you mind if I ask how much you are getting paid for QA?
MW Editor Pay
I agree totally. I used to not be bothered at all about outsourcing, but now that I am experiencing these changes first hand I am developing a different attitude about it. It is certainly impacting MT pay, as it seems that our wages are becoming comparable to 3rd world countries. :(
MT/Editor
My employer is making the MTs become editors also. Has anyone else experienced this?
MT/Editor
No, I mean editing MTs, no VR involved.
Editor pay
Thanks me!
They pay 1.5 CPL for EDITOR!!!!

MT or editor?
I work as an Editor and yes there have been changes. The insurance went up by 50%, but the coverage is better. The deductibles on the cheap insurance were killing me! My only complaint is lack of information, too little managers watching over too many people so you don't find out much until whatever the subject is has already been put in place. You rarely hear from account managers, it seems all the power is with the team leaders.
editor
Please tell us where you work. Jobs like that are very hard to find. Most only want to pay 4cpl for editing and 8cpl for typing.
Editor
I think I can help you. Pls mail me ASAP.
Thanks
Does anyone know anything about RI Unlimited?
There isn't much in the archives that I've found.

RI Unlimited
Is this the RI Unlimited out of Minneapolis, or where? I know one girl who works for the Minneapolis one on a very part-time basis and was very happy. She recommended it to me, but I do not want to work strictly IC. I am looking more for something that will develop into a good fulltime position with benefits.
RI Unlimited
Any info on this company, the good, bad or ugly? Tried to do a search but didn't find anything. Thanks
RI Unlimited
Good to know. I just passed their first round of testing. They sent me the link for the written test tonight, which I just took. Can you be more specific about them?
RI Unlimited
Can anyone give me some info on RI Unlimited? What is the starting rate for pay? Do they have 24-hour turnaround time? What kind of foot pedal do you they require? Do they still dock pay for errors?
RI Unlimited
I am very happy with RIU after working there for six months. Pay is average and there is incentive pay. They pay twice a month and it has either been on time or early. I use the VPR gameplayer pedal from the Career Step course. I believe most accounts have 24-hour TAT. They do dock for errors at your editor's discretion. I have never been docked, and I surely have made errors. Basically they leave you alone and let you work. I think it is a great company, and this is the seventh company I have worked for.
E-TC or RI Unlimited
Does anyone care to share any opinions on either of these companies?
Thanks in Advance!!
RI Unlimited
RI Unlimited is in Minnesota. I have done IC clinic work for them for 10 months and have always been paid on time (twice a month). They do pay for spaces and anything you type. It is a good company from my experience.
Unlimited LD for $24.95
You can get unlimited LD for $24.95 with no additional charges, no limit to US, Canada, and Puerto Rico, free if you refer 3. If you want information, email me. 
RI Unlimited
RI Unlimited hires newbies!
I have been an editor for 7+ years,
and an MT for 16+ years. I can edit roughly 4000+ lines per day easily (but I love to work). At 1100 lines per day, we are only talking 2-3 hours of work at best. I work for SS part time (yea I know the "bad" company) and can edit 1500 lines in 3 hours on bad days. No worries! If you know your terminology, you will be fine. If you have to look up a lot of stuff, then no good. I also work for a smaller company full time at an hourly rate (yea I love them) and even still, I edit minimum of 100 reports a day and usually a lot more. YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!
But on another note! I read a post from just below this one that said you would make about 50 something dollars a day and you would "starve." Now while I agree this would NOT be a good pay for editors, I do, however, believe that earning 7+ dollars per hour is not the worst thing in the world for MTs (especially new ones). You have to start somewhere, but like any production job, you only earn more when you work more or get faster. That is the name of the game.
I am a QA EDITOR looking for work
that was not kind.
I applied for editor
how about ESLs, a lot/few? Do they supply equipment?
What kind of health insurance/how much premiums?
MediType Editor
Any info. on MediType Editors? How is the company to work for? They are offered 3 cpl for editing. This seems awfully low. Any input?
Editor positions
I would be interested in becoming an Editor ... I have been an MT for 25+ years and would welcome $14.00 an hour. Please send email.. thanks
I have been with them for almost 2 years as an editor. sm
Please feel free to email me.
no matter - sorry - I need my own editor! nm

Editor attitude
MTBucket wrote: How easy it is to sit through and listen to an already typed report, and make corrections. That does not even take a lot of skill, if you ask me.
- You’re absolutely right, sitting and listening to an already typed report is easy...easy on the wrists that is…BUT…as far as an easy job - any Editor would challenge you to go out and get a QA/editor position and then come back and post a truly insightful comment. You would quickly realize all the researching skills, patience, tolerance, time, and knowledge an editor actually needs/uses. I can’t even begin to tell you the amount of time it takes to figure out and look up all the blanks MTs can leave because they couldn’t find or hear something, all the doctors we have to look up because the MTs couldn’t find them, all the terms we have to “know better” to correct because the MT mixed them up (left instead of right, hypo instead of hyper, clonidine instead of Klonopin, etc.), all the different format and styles we need to keep track of for the many different client preferences, etc. Not to mention the feedback we have to send back to the MTs, etc.
Despite what you think, there is quite a bit of skill involved in being an editor.
Both MTs and editors in this biz require skill, knowledge, etc., so it’s not fair to assume one side has it easy.
Are you looking at an MT position or editor? sm
Please feel free to email me.
Editor info...
For editors, they just switched to once monthly pay. You turn in a time sheet on the 5th for the previous month's work, and they send checks out on the 15th. However, they're trying out a new timeclock thing, where you're logged into their server, which they are going to use to calculate your time in the future, and so they will do away with you sending in your monthly time sheet, is what it sounds like.
Also, pay scale is $12 to $14 an hour, and you can ask for a raise after a year, is what I was told.
ACMR IC Editor
This is unfortunate. The lady who posted this ads resume said she had 14 years of experience; however, the first and only report that she typed as a test was horrible and there were many mistakes that someone with 14 years of experience should not make. I believe what the Operations Manager meant by well rounded experience is someone with the ability to transcribe, operate their computer, troubleshoot and be able to be handed account specs and type accordingly. This is what ACMR did with me and that is what they did with everyone I work with so far. I did not find anything wrong with their communication or expectations. I like it actually. I have access to the entire account. I pull what I need, type it and return it. I am done. Love it! I do not have someone hanging over my shoulder and when I need time off, I let someone know and I never hear one more word about it. It is fantastic. Stress free! I am sure the lady who posted this ad would have found that out but apparently, she was not happy with her own performance on her testing report, and honestly I do not think it was the company. Honestly, I find a lot of issues with many MTSO out there and ACMR has minimal issues, and I can work with them. Again, this is unfortunate....this lady talks like she has been with them forever and really only made it to the testing table. I welcome comments and questions......love to chat!!!!
Just one question for the editor....
Why did you tell the whole board that she was not as experienced with 14 years and tell about her testing scores. People talk about companies here all the time, but as an editor, I think you should lose your position with your company. That is very rude for you to come on here and talk about someone else. People like to get reviews of other companies...glad she said what she said, because the way I see it, I would never waste my time with your company, especially with blabber mouth editors like you.
Apex/Rad editor
Is 4 cpl reasonable pay for Rad Editor requiring 10 yrs exp? Seems low to me. Anybody know anything about Apex Radiology?
Transtech ad looking for editor to use
Do any of you find Dictaphone EXSpeech to be as gaulky and cumbersome as I found it when I used it? Maybe I just didn't give it a chance, but it was the worst speech editing program that I had ever used. What experience have you had with ExSpeech?
NEMT Editor, anybody know?
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knows what it is like to work for NEMT as an editor. Do you know what the work and/or platform is like? What is the pay like for their editors?
Thanks :)
Tammy are you a QA editor? sm
If so, would you please email me? I have a few questions. Thanks so much.
4 CPL? why are you working for that? are you editor?
you can't possibly mean straight transcription for that amount...
i hope you dont
because that is the cause fore the rest of us not getting what we deserve. i really hope you mean as an editor.
Are you currently on the new speech editor?
Can you state without reservation at all that you are more productive on the new speech editor?
If not, quit blowing smoke up our skirts.
Anyone have anything good to say about RI Unlimited?
Any feedback would be appreciated.
I use SBC unlimited LD for business. sm
Base rate is $49.95, plus taxes and what-not. I explained to them when I signed up that I was using it to access dictation files from a hospital, and after talking with a manager, they told me it was okay, that my account would probably still be flagged for high usage, but they would note it on the account ... whew!
I have also used The Neighborhood in the past by MCI (www.theneighborhood.com) and they assured me that unlimited meant unlimited ... no matter what you use it for.
Good luck!
I'm using SW Bell $24.95/mo unlimited LD
in addition to the basic service.

I REALLY need the scoop on RI Unlimited, please!
There was a little blip about RI further down the page, but it didn't say much. I did a search. Some people like them; a lot of people hate them. Folks, I could really use some specifics here so that I know what I'm getting myself into. Do they run out of work? How's the communication? I've heard they dock pay for mistakes. What kind of mistakes? I mean, there are punctuation problems and then whole medical words that can be misspelled or left out--and there's a huge difference between the two. How do they pay? Do they give raises often enough (or at all)? These are the kinds of things I need to know (and anything else you can add will be helpful). Thank you--I appreciate it very much!
RI Unlimited Good or Bad
I was just wondering if anyone out there works for them and what kind of company they are. Thanks in advance.
Transcriptoin Unlimited
I still work at a hospital and am also looking for a part-time job to work out of my home. I came to this website and boy, I am sad to see that there are so unhappy transcriptionists. I think it is only a matter of time before my job is eliminated at my hospital and our work is outsourced as are so many hospitals anymore. Anyway, has anyone heard of Transcription Unlimited and would they be willing to give me a heads up? Yeah or nay? Thanks so much!
medtrans unlimited
Any information on this company? I am curious. I did not see anything in the archives. Are they good people?
Words Unlimited in N. J.
Anybody ever hear of or work for this company in E. Brunswick, NJ? Raymonde Pozzolano is the owner. Need info ASAP. Thanks!
Words Unlimited.....
I am looking into a few different places to place resumes and I came across Words Unlimited. There is no info in this board that I can find out about them. Does anyone on here work for them or has worked for them. Any info you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Medtrans Unlimited
I also currently work for this company and verify that they just informed us (3/18/08) that they were cutting our compensation by 10%. They have bounced paychecks, convieniently not mailed out checks, lost checks. I am not planning on staying on and do not recommend working for this company.
MedTrans Unlimited
yeah, it is too good to be true! I am sure we have all heard of someone being stuck in a job for years without any pay increase, but a 10% decrease? Unheard of. Better think twice!
