Fast Chart - not a good company. (sm)
They start you out at 6 cents a line no matter how much experience you have, telling you you'll move up the scale quickly. The first two levels will be achieved quickly so you'll be making 7 cents a line by the end of your first month.... that's it. No matter what you do, you'll never move up to the next level. To make any real money, you have to work Saturday nights and Sunday nights (when the pay is higher) when there is work, which is rare. And the platform is horrible. Good luck, and definitely look elsewhere.
They flame out so fast and so ugly.

Fast Chart..sm
I am going to test with them. Does anyone have any feedback about Fast Chart? Can one advance up the pay levels quickly, or are you stuck at the horrendously low starting rates? The information they have sent is pretty confusing.

Can anyone tell me how long it takes, on the average, to start making 9cpl with Fast Chart? I just received their pay scale chart and it seems like one has to do an anwful lot of typing just to get up to 9 cpl. Is their platform user-friendly? Thanks for any info you can give me.
fast chart
They start you off at 6 cpl at Level 1 and move you up a level according to your cumulative lines from Day 1 and accurately typing all reports. From the best I can tell their top pay is 9 cpl on all shifts, which is Level 8.
Fast Chart
Anyone working for them currently? Are they a good company? Are QA staff personable and friendly? Do they pay well? TIA.
Fast Chart
I'm sorry if this has been posted before. I couldn't find info. Any info on whether Fast Chart is any good? I submitted a resume but want to know, if I hear from them, if I should take the time to test. Transform too. Anybody heard of them?

I started 2 weeks ago with Fast Chart and have given my 2-weeks notice. My computer does not like the software and have had problems since starting with different problems daily getting logged on and with the software not saving autotext. Sometimes have ran out of work in the past 2 weeks. Made a whopping 240 bucks the last pay period so I said see ya. Starting a new job tomorrow which is better pay. I'd think twice about this company.
fast chart
thanks for the reply. I have been looking for over a month and really am not sure which way to go. I am currently employed but am searching for better pay and flexibility and the hopes of steady work. Too much to ask for??
Fast Chart
I worked there 2-1/2 weeks and got paid squat, which is why I quit and work for another company now which I love so far. Worked on 4 accounts and couldn't make a thing.
Fast Chart
Worked there for 3 weeks and quit. Low pay for one thing and software was horrible to type in for another.
Fast Chart
Thanks so much. Thank goodness for this board.

Any current info on Fast Chart?

I asked about any info on Fast Chart. I do not know why my message was deleted.
Fast Chart
Does anyone have any experience with this company? Regarding pay, how long does it take to move through their levels and does anyone know of anyone at a level 8? Thanks!
Fast Chart
In my experience, I worked there about 3 weeks. For one thing, pay was horrible. Secondly, I hated the platform, something was always going wrong with it, so ended up bringing home about 250 bucks per pay period. Needless to say, I have moved to greener pastures.
Fast Chart
I worked for Fast Chart many years ago. I started out at 5 cpl, went up to 7.5 in a short while. Yes, very low pay, especially when I used to much more pay. I had to take the first job that came along until something better came along. Yes, the pay was low. I worked 12 hours per day to bring home about $750 twice monthly. I feel that I won in the end because I walked away with more specialties under my belt, more knowledge, more experience, and took all of this with me when I bailed out. I just did what I had to do...
Fast Chart
Did I read somewhere on this board about Fast Chart's pay scale being $.09/line? Is this correct? Do they have a lot of ESLs? Thanks.
Fast Chart
I used to work for them a short time. They start you at .06 cemts per line, regardless of experience.
Fast Chart
Who cares, that is ONLY what YOU made, but not their norm for starting anyone!!

Can anyone give me any information on Fast Chart, good or bad? Paydays, sound quality, do they have direct direct deposit and enough work?

I have been with Fast Chart for 10 years and am satisfied. I have found them to have a great support team and the dictators good. Lately work has slumped a little, but I still get my lines. I am considered full-time but can usually get my line count in 20-25 hours per week and make $125 or more per day. No complaints.
fast chart
I have been very satisfied with Fast Chart for over 10 years now - no complaints!
Fast Chart
Anyone with any current info on this company? Do they still pay very low and if so, are you able to make money with them?
TIA
Fast-chart pay
Hi there. I just sent them my resume and they sent me a chart that breaks down their pay. Basically they start at 0.6 cpl, pitiful for transcription and 0.3 cpl for edit. The highest pay (0.9 cpl) is only achieved after working for them for 2 years and only typing/editing op-notes and discharge summaries...
I decided to pass...
Fast Chart
Has anyone been offered a job at Fast Chart. Is it just me or is the IC contract very rigid with no leeway at all for schedule and committment flexibility. How is the work, is it easy to get your committments?
Fast Chart - sm.
Fast Chart, the transcription division of Applied Medical Services, does not outsource. This is taken from their website:
A big trend with many providers of medical transcriptions is to outsource the documents to oversee companies instead of hiring local transcriptionists. In fact, the Association of Medical Transcriptionists (AAMT) estimates that 8% to 10% of the outsourced transcription is now being sent overseas. However, outsourcing these services overseas is risky - those who have done so have encountered numerous quality problems, suggesting that a large number of offshore transcriptionists have language barriers or do not have adequate training or transcription and medical education. These factors can compromise the safety and integrity of the documents being transcribed.
Here at Fast Chart - the transcription division of Applied Medical Services - we are committed to only hiring domestically-located Medical Transcriptionists that meet our rigorous standards and training.
Also, they do use VR.

I have just received a job offer from Fast Chart and would appreciate any information anyone could provide. I understand about the 7.50 fee, but the line requirement seems like it would be relatively easy to meet.
Is DocQScribe an easy platform to learn? I work on EditScript right now and really like it.
I'm feeling stressed about needing to make this decision to change companies, so would appreciate any help!
Fast Chart vs DIT
I have a friend that works for Fast Chart. She says that the recruiter told her that the only account they are currently advertising/hiring for is actually not a new account, but one that they have had for quite a while and is an extremely difficult one. The managers at that facility do not allow for imperfection. Why Fast Chart is advertising it as a new account and a dream job is questionnable.
The good thing about Fast Chart, she says, is that they do allow you to make your own schedule and you can change it monthly. You establish your own line commitment. They charge a fee if you do not make your line commitment. The pay is low, but on time and likely no lower than DIT.
Fast Chart
I got the same thing after I posted the message. I have 20 years of experience..no way, no how. Thanks.
FAST CHART
I'm stunned. They used to pay for spaces. Have they suddenly stopped paying for spaces on all existing accounts? If this is true, I wonder if the current employees are aware of this. I mean, the pay was low enough when they included the spaces; 6.5 cpl without spaces should be illegal, IMHO!!.
Fast Chart and K&R
If anyone has experience with either of these 2 companies I would appreciate hearing from you. Thanks so much.
Any info on Fast Chart, out of NC?

Help - Fast Chart or First Choice???
Does anyone have recent information on Fast Chart or First Choice? I looked in the archives but most entries were a year or 2 old. These older entries said starting line rate for IC was 6 or 7 cents. That is pretty low for IC! Otherwise, people sounded pretty happy there (Fast Chart). Besides line rate, wondering about dictation quality, flexibility and consistent work? Any current information? Thanks !!
I love Fast Chart
I left MQ to work for Fast Chart. The pay was lower, but they pay you for all of the headers. I have plenty of work and the software is so easy to use. I could not imagine leaving.
Fast Chart Pay Scale
I have the payscale tier and it seems pretty straight forward, you advance as you complete a certain # of lines. The recruiter said the software is typing in word. What software were you typing in? I would like to know before I make a decision. Everything sounds so wonderful with them, the people I have been talking to are so friendly and responsive.
Fast Chart is straightforward. sm
Though the pay starts at 6 cpl, you will soon be making more, and probably as much as you WANT! I have worked with Fast Chart for 7 years. First heard about them on MT Daily, too, back in 1999. Their platform is EASY.... not horrible as someone stated, and no learning curve whatsoever. With the Word-based platform, you can make your own macros and fly through the work. The staff is very nice, personable people, and always there to help if you need it. They treat you like a person, not a typing machine, and no hounding emails, no hounding phone calls, they leave you alone to do your work. Also and importantly, they DO NOT OUTSOURCE. I hope this helps, and NO, I am not being paid to say these things... just the truth. 
Fast Chart is Consistent
I have been with Fast Chart for about 10 months. You're right. You do start at the bottom, but rapidly move up. They do pay for all headers and footers. There people are great and completly honest.
I work for Fast Chart and sm
just wanted to let everyone know that Instant Text works with the TAe platform. =)
Anybody work for Fast Chart?
Just wondering if anybody has worked for Fast Chart recently and what they think of the company? Thanks in advance.

Thinking of applying but want to make sure there's work and good platform.
Thanks!

Looking for some feedback on Fast Chart
Was offered a position w/Fast Chart, however, upon further review of their agreement, if you don't meet your line count, they charge $7.50 per pay period to cover their licensing fee/ongoing technical platform for the use of their software. They'll waive this if you meet your line count. Also, they charge you another service fee if you don't meet your minimum line count which is, again, waived if you do meet it. I realize the pay is on the extremely low end, but I figured that I'd be doing this for the experience; however, I kind of get the feeling that I'm almost paying the company to work for them. I mean if they run out of work, and I can't meet my line count, then I'm being penalized.
Also, I'm curious as to how the sound quality is on the files? I wasn't overly impressed with their test files, so I'm not sure if this is an indication of what it will be like to transcribe their files.
TIA!
FAST CHART INFO?
Anyone have any current info on FAST CHART. Specifically radiology accounts? What they pay, platform, good/bad or indifferent?
Thanks for any help.
