This company advertises ALL the time and it isn't because they are getting new accounts.

If you'll read through past posts you'll find lots of

Is this a Google search or MT Stars search?

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
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

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 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.
