We all make typos!
Daphne,
Let me tell you one thing. I am not perfect and I did not proof my work in typing this note. I was just typing my fingers away and going from one chat to another. That was very unprofessional of you as an MT, supervisor, owner, etc., for you to throw your HATEFUL comments at me about me making a grammar error about worse versus worst. We all make mistakes. I have seen so many owners make mistakes. We are not perfect humans. We all make mistakes. Grow up!!!! You are acting like a child. I appreciate the Administrator on MT Stars to respect me as an individual and realizing that I make mistakes, but you should not advertise on this chat board to thousands of MTs about how stupid I am about making a grammar error where I forgot to proof my work. Why don't you go through every single one of these responses and start editing every single MTs grammar. I can guarantee you will find just as many errors like you did mine. Please be careful what you say in the future. Thanks again MT Stars administration for looking out for me regardless if I made a typo on my grammar!
typos on this board are to be forgiven, but new company's numerous errors and the picture they
painted for our first impression of someone in whom we are required to put practically our entire life details in an email back to them left much to be desired in my opinion (by this MT).
That board you speak of makes (sm)
 me REALLY hesitant about going to a TT board sponsored by an MT. Maybe that was the first place you got info about MQ, but it's not the place I want to get my info from. Mark my words, one little thing happens, and it is going to become a B-fest over there, and I don't think it will take too long. People love to complain, especially those who are used to it. Whatever turns you folks on, I say have at it.
Transtech no work situation putting me in the Salvation Army food line?
This is utterly ridiculous -- NO WORK/LOW WORK. It is not even the holidays yet. D. giving the title of an email Census does not make that the reason for the low/no work situation at Transtech! There are other reasons OTHER THAN CENSUS. That is so sickening all the time. The greatest need of us MT's is honesty from their employer --- from the very beginning of employment to the end!
Even a child could see through their excuses for NO WORK.
It sure makes sense to add a VR board. It is a daily converstation!
I read that post on job seeker's board, and it makes absolutely no sense...sm
Scary to think this is what medical reports might look like coming in from overseas MTs. Thank goodness I'm not an editor...that would irritate the living --- out of me. Quite an embarrassment to those of us in this profession who have worked hard over the years and are proud of what we do.
Does TransTech have a private board? NM

I still make more with Transtech than anywhere else
they leave me alone to do my job. I don't have to read a bunch of unnecessary and irrelevant emails and I am not monitored by phone or IM. I don't have to clock in and out at all much less every time I have to burp. I love Transech and make good money here.
I make 350-400 lph at TransTech
I can't get $20 if I'm on disability so I'm staying put.
Just wondering because work is low across the board again at Transtech
What co. are you considering now, if company was not TT? Just wondering.
Quote from TransTech's ad on Jobs Board
* Paid maternity/paternity leave
Get it now ???? That is age discrimination!
You can believe those on this board saying NO WORK at Transtech ! Absolutely true !!
Getting worse and worse every day. They are going to VR at a VERY FAST PACE, which pays so little you cannot survive on the money UNLESS you work 60 hours a week OR are one of the supe's fav's that get the better dictators.
There is always an excuse by TT as to the low work, but remember that doesn't pay our creditors. Work disappears in large chunks when were at getting almost out of TAT (if ever) so it is going somewhere.
TT is turning out to be like every other MT company out there - more and more executives/supervisors to pay and not a single penny raise for the MT -- much less provide work for the MT's on a consistent basis -- not near consistent basis.
One request, please -- all you Transtech cheerleaders go to your Yahoo board
Why are you showing up here tonight. GO where you belong!
Most of the positive posts about TT and VR are mgmt posts; they always do this, but you other cheerleaders/favorites, go to your new Yahoo Board and leave us along who don't want to work for LESS MONEY.
By the way, I have done VR with TT and HORRIBLE. I can't make even close to the money I can with normal transcription.
VR is more money in the pockets of TT execs. Not in the MT's wallets.
ANYONE ELSE BEING SUED BY TRANSTECH MEDICALFOR POSTING ON THIS BOARD??

Can I make the font smaller on this board? Some text is being cut off because it's too big on

Believe me, one can make decent money at TransTech.
There is plenty of work and I don't think the incentive plan is low at all. A good MLS should have no problem hitting the first tier and the QA incentive should be automatic. The starting line rate is also one of the best I had run across. I'm not trying to convince anyone to come to TT, its not a good fit for everyone, just wanted to share my experience. If one is getting a negative vibe about a company, I don't blame them for not wanting to give them a try.
Make it easy on yourself and move to TransTech

Transtech VR -- Can't make the same money IF you are accustomed to using a
lot of expanders/briefs, because you will be constantly deleting and retyping in stuff, rather than getting to expand a word/words. Definitely not the same money. Why do you think all these companies are going to VR? To put more money in the MT's pockets? NOT
I guess what you make at Transcend is based on what you made when you came on board, 8 cpl here. sm
I guess since the last 2 companies purchased made good cpl Transcend is willing to pay them what they made, really not fair for others only making 8 cpl, but I guess they gotta cut corners somewhere in order to keep the new Transcenders happy. I think you all are getting the best deal they have to offer.
Hell will freeze over before YOU can make your job *work* with TransTech. Out of your control !!!
I don't know who has ruined this wonderful company, but E is one of them !!! Of course, D is in control of everything, so just amazed at the condition of TT now.
If emails saying, "You guys make Transtech rock" pays your bills, let me know, because
I have figured out a way to pay my bills with such **old, wornout** words.
Management is rocking alright, because their paychecks are not affected at all with the NO WORK/LOW WORK situation that has been going on now for MONTHS and MONTHS. That seems so unfair when without the MT's, the mgmt would have no paychecks!!!!!

System was down for a while. It is frustrating.
I know they are working on it. Overall, I like this system better than most.
Yeah, I'd say that would be frustrating.
Could you switch over to work on the Transcend side to work on those accounts?
Platform can be very frustrating sm
If you get stuck or have a question regarding any issue, dont hold your breath on them answering or helping. To me, they are very shady people.
I know it is frustrating and I sure don't enjoy it
either, but doesn't it make sense to give all applicants a difficult transcription test? What better way for a real cream of the crop MT prove that she is skilled? If the test is easy, the results will be the same, whether the MT is a newbie or highly experienced. True?
So true and so frustrating
(NM)
I have been running out of work with them also...frustrating! nm

it's frustrating to have 14 years and get $14 an hour..
i won't work for line rate ever again... and i work almost 4 jobs now to get six figures. pathetic pay these days. made more working hospital back in the day
It is frustrating for me to see ads when I do not have enough work. However, they are great sm
people to work with, and I have been happy for the most part. They use Wordscript, which is a Word-based platform and very easy to use. Pay periods end the 15th and the last of the month, paid by direct deposit. There is no set pay day, but generally I am paid within a week to 10 days of the end of the pay period.
Good luck with whatever you decide. 
I know, it's so frustrating. I would at least like a yes or no, just no response is maddening.

Ugg this is so frustrating! I am going to try to get more lines the first week
of the payperiod and maybe that will help. I have a child but he is away for the summer so I am able to sit and wait 24/7. I just have to juggle the bills this time around, either pay for the furniture or the rent, but not both. Will be lying low this week food-wise too, good thing I am alone and can cut back on going anywhere or buying anything. Perhaps the recession will end and the new accounts will help. Going elsewhere might end up being the same thing, so I am going to overlap TT with something else. Just thinking aloud here... thanks for your feedback. It is hard to talk to coworkers when you are home and don't know anyone in the area who does the same kind of work.
Is Dictaphone better for VR? Escription can be frustrating with that at times.
My account is mostly VR and I have to work an awful lot to make a little.
I hear you. It's really frustrating to have almost the perfect job within your grasp. nm.
nm
relevant. I take that as a sign the copmany is frustrating to say the least. NM

The company I work for does it, to keep all accounts in TAT, can be frustrating but most of the time
am just happy to have work. I am not sure, but I think I work for the same company as the previous poster, and I'm going to stick it out because it does seem to be getting better lately as I think the accounts are better covered now. If I were you, I would ask what the deal is, who knows, they might give you a straight answer or change your accounts if they find out you are unhappy, you don't know until you give it a try.
It definitely can be frustrating. I tested for Accupro a couple of weeks ago, sm
and there were several long reports to type, yet I never received the courtesy of a response. They were great guns at first, sending me info about the company, telling me how impressive my resume is, etc., and after the written test, I heard back immediately, but then, after investing several hours into their written test .. *poof* .. nada. I don't know that I aced it, but after 25+ years of being an MT, I didn't think I did so awful that it would not even merit a reply. Such is life ...
On the flip side, I do realize that companies receive 100s of applications when they run an ad, and so I try to be patient and realize that I can just be lost in the shuffle somtimes. I perhaps am not aggressive enough, because I do not email or call if they drop the ball. There are lots of other companies out there.
Yeah, it reduced me to tears. Talk about frustrating
You had to open up so many screens just to get where you were going. Thus, you got nowhere FAST..
Nice people, agreed; very frustrating to work for, though.
I have to agree that the people are very nice. That's about as far as goes, however. The platform is clunky (We're working on a new one has been the constant refrain for years, with no real sign of it's birth anytime soon).
To answer the original question, I'm able to average about 250 lph, even with the craptacular platform (mostly due to a few docs with regular patter lending themselves to a lot of canned text); that said, I would likely be getting 350 lph or more with similar effort elsewhere.
Back on the negative side, however, the communication there sucks. Maybe 1 in 10 e-mails to management is acknowledged, let alone answered.
Very frustrating.
Big time..They usually have the Indians work at night and weekends. It can be frustrating to log in
and have their not be a lot of work on the account your on. The only Escription account that has extra work is the one in which the hospital had them agreed NOT to send their transcription to India. Otherwise, we have to share our work with our partners as they call them.
Tons of work on Enterprise. Should be last frustrating. Good luck. nm

Sorry about the typos
I meant to type she said she could not hire someone who could not follow directions. My mind went before my fingers on that one.
I apologize for the typos.
I guess I shouldn't try to type when I'm upset.
Grammar and typos
I believe that Goldbird posted the same thing about there being no need to correct people on the board for typos or grammatical errors. There's really no need.
Well, at least I can laugh at my typos - sm
some of ya'll seem to take them way, WAY to seriously. (And to hopefully avert any more flaming about being sloppy in my work, I'm TALKING ABOUT silly little mistakes we make when we're dashing off quick posts & emails.) And do you really think my thread is actually TESTIER than some of the total ragging that's been going on whenever someone on these boards stands up and calls a spade a spade?
Not!
