I like it there. I've had my moments there, but I haven't found anything better out there so I'm staying for the long haul.

Yeah, but the sound quality is horrible on all accounts. Good luck with that!

Just be aware that not all Escription accounts pay the same. I worked for one company on Escription
struggling to maybe make $50 in 8-10 hours. I didnt know the difference as that was my first job on that platform and I just thought it was not a money maker. Then, I switched companies. I average $20-30 an hour and once I made $50 in an hour. I tried yet another company and I was lucky to make $9 an hour. The bottom line is that not all companies are alike, even though they use the Escription platform. What I have found is that goes according to how they set it up i.e. paying for footers, headers, spaces etc. Just dont be shocked if you dont make what you think you will. The companies know how to set it to where it benefits them and not you. As is the norm, not all companies are created equal out there regardless if they all use the same platform. That is what I am getting out.. Good luck.
escription accounts
Escription work is on Word. Transform has a SUPER word-based platform and as of yet does not do VR editing.
Webmedx hires some ICs. Good company. So sorry for your loss. Good luck!

Hello all,
We just acquired three Escription accounts and our MTs LOVE THEM. Please e-mail me at Liz@medicaldictation.com or call me at 1-800-205-7047.
It is a fun program to work on.
Hope you are keeping safe down in Texas. God bless. We are all thinking of you guys in the way of that horrible storm.
Thanks,

Anybody hiring for eScription accounts? nm
x
I work on escription accounts.
pay 4/9 for 60-90 days, can't remember which, then 4/10. Very nice to work for. I've been there since Octoberish.
It's about average on eScription accounts.
I get 4/8.4 as an employee.
Has TT always had eScription accounts? Is this new? Just curious..nm
nm
I can only speak of the Escription accounts.
It's been low for a long time so if that is the account your on and you can be flexible, go for it. AND I do mean flexible.
Things are not good there now. Think only hiring for 2nd and 3rd shiifts. Good luck. nmx

I edit for Transcend on accounts using eScription. sm
I really like it, make more money than transcribing, and am in and out of more reports. And it's a lot easier on my wrists. I've always found the people nice to work with, in spite of the horror stories being related about the hiring process.
I have no experience with any editing programs other than eScription being used at Transcend/MDI, but you could request assignment to accounts using eScription. One thing, since new accounts (ones often needing new employees) typically are transitioning to VR, you could start out heavy on transcription of reports as the computer learns to take over that job, with a few weeks of lots of corrections to eScripted reports, and then finally doing almost all editing on a trained account. I think it's going to be that way on any account new to VR with any company. Transcend did adjust the pay rate as the account I was working on progressed so I never lost money and eventually ended up making more. Good luck wherever you end up.
Does anyone know what Transtech pays for its Escription accounts?
I'd be willing to work weekends if the price was right. I've just seen too many Escription accounts pay too low, which to me, is 3 cpl and lower..One company actually offered 1.5 cpl. No thanks.
TransTech has 2 current Escription accounts
Yeah if I remember right, they are one of the low-paying Escription accounts out there, maybe 1.5-2
cpl or something ridiculous. Not actually livable US rates...
With Nuance buying Focus, what will happen to the eScription accounts? sm
I really don't think eScription is going to like the fact that Dictaphone/Nuance is going to be working on their platform and learning their secrets to their software.........do you?
This is so interesting to me as I am an eScription editor. Maybe it is time I start my own business again and contact all of the eScription hospital accounts or contact eScription and get their input on this.
In reading Nuance's press release, Bringham Women's Hospital is an eScription account not a dictaphone account. Very interesting......Don't you think? Would love to hear opinions on this.
They send a majority of the Escription accounts to India. There are a few of the hospitals that said
they could not send their work there but I suspect they do anything. In any event, yes, a lot of the easier work goes to India and they are proud of this affliation, not bad it doesn't pay my bills. Then, they wonder why we are so angry about India taking our jobs.
Companies w/Escription accounts that offer affordable family insurance??
I realize that affordable is subjective so whatever information anyone can give woudl be appreciated. The majority of Escription accounts offer IC only. Thanks
Good luck and good nerves. sm
I hope you do well. I would rather have a root canal than drive a bus around with the rowdy kids around here, my gosh, they get in fights all the time, the bus driver has to return the bus to school. You are probably from a better area, but they would have to pay me big, big money. Good luck to you though.
Good for you! I have done that several times......Good luck to you. nm

Some do and have good accounts and fully loaded ESL accounts
Take a look at what is happening in India. For the first time, workers there have money to get themselves into debt by buying high priced items (cars for example). They now protest lower castes being allowed into universities at almost double the previous allowance. Wait until they are highly in debt, begin to feel entitled to a wage equal to that paid inthe US and then, try to form unions, get tossed out into the street and sit back with some Ben and Jerry ice cream and watch the economy collapse and all that dictation come back across the ocean. Timing is everything.
Have had good luck with them since Feb.
I was told about a horror story that went on between them and one MT when I was brought on. Nothing even close has happend to me or another MT that I talk to from Medscript. Perhaps it was a two way horror story for the owner and the MT? I will post an email address if anyone has specific questions I can try to help.
Good luck to you
I worked for MQ for years, and if you want ANYTHING you have to continuously harass "the higher ups." Remember, it is your money, and it is owed to you, don't let up on them or you will get NOTHING! Management sucks at MQ.
Sorry, I do not. Good luck!

GOOD LUCK!
Insurance costs are just outrageous nowadays--I can hardly afford it, and the costs seem to increase with every new enrollment period.
Good luck
No problemo! Best of luck to you!
Good luck!!!! They don't even pay
let alone spaces!!! They blowing smoke up, well, you know where!!!!
Good luck.
Ditto. I will keep my fingers crossed for you.
Could be! Let us know how it goes and good luck!
.
Good luck to you then...
I just saw above where you had worked for DSG. That was another I had considered in the past but saw quite a bit of negative at one time. May I ask why you left DSG?
Thanks!
Good luck to you as well. sm
Bascially DSG wasn't willing to pay me what they thought I was worth, which sounds stupid, but it's true. Everything else except for the pay was perfect. I loved working there, and I recommend them. They have had some growing pains in the past, but things have leveled out quite a bit. I wish you the best.
Good Luck...let us know what happens with Lou..nm
:)
Good luck
I was offered the same deal but there was no work when I started. Nada, nothing. I had 9 jobs for an entire week and was told I couldn't get a backup because I wasn't off of 100% QA, and couldn't come off 100% QA because there was no work!!! When I left, they did NOT pay the training bonus as promised and I reported them to the Attorney General.
Don't know anything about them but good luck!!
:)
That's up to you. Good luck! :) nm
.
yep, me too.....good luck to you! :)
Good luck to you too!!
tt
Your welcome and good luck.....nm
/
Good luck! sm
Bet it is the same company I worked for. If it is, you will never get it. Was told my check was in the mail 10 months ago, and never received it. I had my own equipment so there was nothing to return.
Good luck on this one

I did not have good luck!
Jim, the hiring manager, was supposed to send me all of the new hire papers, etc. No word from him. I e-mailed him constantly and called him constantly to find out where the papers were and when I was going to start. He totally ignored me. I call that very unprofessional. That should tell you something about the company. There seems to be a big turnover because they are always constantly hiring.
Well good luck with that one. I will not
:(
KS's GOOD LUCK!!
I went into that totally blind and naive.....never again...lets face it...if your willing to put forth all your effort looking up things that the company should have referenced you with before they threw you into a contract....that tends to leave a bitter taste in your mouth!
Good luck!
nm
Good Luck!
I, too, love working at a company that refuses to offshore their work. I am very happy there. I actually feel like I am valued as an employee. I hope all goes well for you and that you are hired by Keystrokes!
Good Luck!
nm
Good luck
I wish you all the luck in the world with the new company, I left QT a few months ago and went to work for them but only lasted about a month, continually switching accounts, software was pathetic, just do not expect to make anywhere near what you did at QT, my line count was actually about 60% of what it was with QT and my line rate was less, went for hte benefits but did not stay
Good luck to us both then!
nm
Good luck !!!
Good Luck to you
Congratulations on getting out of the evil place. You will be happier anywhere else!
Good luck with that......!! nm
