Three years Escription experience and 5 cpl which is better than 4 cpl
but wouldnt 11 cpl be nice.. bummer for us..

Honestly, I gained my first experience with Escription working for Focus. It was my first online job
So I stayed long enough to get comfortable and then moved on. It was a weird experience working with supervisors in India and the lack of communication but I never intended on staying. I bit the bullet, got my experience and left.

When I hear an MT say they have 20 years experience,
There's a whole lot of difference between 20 years in a specific specialty or a clinic, and 20 years in acute care doing all the work types. Also, when I used to hire MTs, I'd tend to grab up the ones who trained physically on site at a hospital or in the office of an MTSO for a couple of years and had the benefit of being around other MT's or QA'ers who could give them help and feedback on the spot. I absolutely believe there should be meaningful certifications (not just for entry level) for different tiers of ability.

Anybody work for PMSI? Would love to hear your experience.

I HAD A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE THERE, AND I THINK PEOPLE DESERVE TO HEAR ABOUT IT...

IT WAS GREAT WHEN I FIRST STARTED, THAT MUCH I WILL ADMIT. I WAS PLEASANTLY SUPRISED AT THEIR WILLINGNESS TO HELP, THEIR KINDNESS, AND THEIR AVAILABILITY TO THE MT'S. BUT AS MANAGMENT CHANGED, SO DID ALL OF THE WONDERFUL THINGS THAT MADE DSG SO PERSONAL.

I LEFT ON MY OWN TERMS. I WAS NOT FIRED... I AM NOT A MAD IC OR EMPLOYEE THAT WAS TERMINATED. I WAS SICK OF BEING TREATED LIKE CRAP ALL OF THE TIME. AND I STILL TALK TO MANY FRIENDS THAT I HAVE MADE THERE AT DSG, AND THEY WILL ALL SAY THE SAME THING... DSG HAS BECOME A VERY IMPERSONABLE PLACE TO WORK, AND IS A PLACE WHERE YOU HAVE TO FIGHT FOR YOUR WORK. WE WERE NEVER ENCOURAGED TO HELP EACH OTHER AND WERE OFTEN GREETED WITH RUDE COMMENTS FROM THE MANAGEMENT WHEN TRYING TO DO SO.

I DO NOT HAVE TO KEEP QUIET ABOUT MY OPINION OF DSG OR THEIR UNPROFESSIONALISM. IT IS A FREE COUNTRY.

THANKS FOR YOUR BLESSINGS, THEY ARE NOT NEEDED. I AM EXTREMELY HAPPY WHERE I AM NOW. NO NEED TO FIGHT FOR WORK, AND MAKING MUCH MORE INCOME. SO YOU CAN HAVE DSG... FOR ME IT WAS A STEPPING STONE ON THE WAY TO A REAL JOB...

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.

WedMedx
Hi NM. Thanks for the info. Have a great weekend.

WedMedx

Hi -- Is anyone familiar with WedMedx Company? Are they good to work for?

Thanks. LLD

WedMedX

I have worked for them for almost three years and have never run out of work even during the holidays and there is OT almost every weekend. I was given three accounts when I started with them and just recently I was asked if I wanted to add on another account. They recently have been getting new accounts and just bought a company whose headquarters are in Tennessee.

diskriter, wedmedx
i see there is Diskriter and diskriter, inc - what is the difference and is better than the other?

Can you use your own computer with Wedmedx or
nm,

do i have to quit MQ to work for wedmedx
Help! Do I have to quit my job with MQ to work part-time with Webmedx?

RE: do i have to quit MQ to work for wedmedx
Not unless you want to. Your choice.

MT Productivity of system used by Wedmedx

MTs currently working with Webmedx, please respond on your productivity with the Webmedx system. I would greatly appreciate your response.

Also, would like response on sound quality.

Thank you very much.

Transcend or Wedmedx? Offers from both -
which one should I chose, if any? Help me, please!

Recent info on Wedmedx
Does anyone have any recent comments, pros, cons, etc, about this company, I have searched the archives but all I come up with are posts dated either 2005/2006 and would like to know some current info, such as line rate, ESL percentage, steady accounts, how are they to work for? Any info would be appreciated, either on the board or in an e-mail. Thanks so much for any information anyone can provide.

Does Wedmedx have a time clock? nm

Can someone tell me how to pronounce the company WedMedX?

Is the *Web* stressed first? WEB medix? Or Web MED X?

Thanks!!!

How is Wedmedx to work for and pay rate?? Thanks for info

Just curious..

Okay..HELP.. I have had some job offers, who would you choose, Wedmedx, Medscribe, or MDI-FL.
Each has its good points and bad. I just want to make a good choice and have no desire to job hop. Line rate obviously is important but so are benefits.. So help me out if you have any suggestions at all, even a different company to apply with that you think are better than these. Thanks in advance for your ideas and/or suggestions.

Yeah I was hired by Wedmedx but I screwed up.

They had even sent me the equipment. I was so excited..it was an ortho position and then I have family medical issues and just one thing after another. There was a misunderstanding. I guess I was supposed to get ahold of them with my new start date and I was waiting for them to contact me once I got all of final paperwork in etc. In any event, when I got ahold of them, they said I was supposed to have followed up by now and wouldnt give me a chance. I was so bummed. I havent found a decent place to call home since then. This was like 2-3 months ago. Good luck to you. The insurance was the main reason I was going to go there too.

Know WedMedx,: Recommend. Good company. SM
Hi, Looking. Yes, you have to log in and out--good structure for people who'd love to earn more money if only they could keep their hands clicking. Very nice incentive scale for those who do. Good medical. Rest of benefit package slim, made up for by good earnings IMO.

Platform getting genuinely good now and continually improving; the old slowness people complains about seems to be gone.

Lots of ESL but simply not a problem for pros once familiar with dictators. Assigned accounts so you can get fast. Need more than one as they can empty out during those hours when a lot of people want to work.

Genuinely nice company to work for. Excellent support in a variety of areas. Very helpful education programs and groups to help develop skill levels, both medical knowledge and production. Study groups and monetary assistance getting certification, and more.

BTW, if you sign on, you now get to be called a Medical Content Specialist. Not sure what that means yet, but I'm newly impressed with myself anyway.

Bottom line: Good place for good workers.

Read here Wedmedx was hiring new grads. What are they paying?
would love to know.

If you had a choice..Diskriter, Medscribe, or Wedmedx, as far as benefits, pay etc..
Just trying to sort out some options. Thanks

I'm with you on the Wedmedx time clock. Not sure it would work out for me...too many distruptions
my day to clock in and clock out for every little thing. Thanks..

Does anyone know if Wedmedx insurance covers bariatric surgery? nm

Anyone that applied with Kathy Kirby hear anything yet? I am wondering how long it takes to hear a
response back

Any Wedmedx'ers out there. How anyone made decent money with them and how is their platform?
Thinking of applying but would like the skinny on if you can make any money with them.

True story..Over 14 yrs.exp. and offered 8 cpl by Diskriter, 7.75 cpl Medscribe and 7.75 Wedmedx.
Those were the best paying.. Let's not forgot the MTSO that want to pay 6-7 cpl for an experienced transcriptionst. No newbies!! That makes me want to laugh and cry at the same time..Only profession where you get a pay DEcrease every year.

I said MAY NOT hear, didn't say you wouldn't hear. There is
a difference, and many people have said they knew they didn't do well on the tests, but still feel like they should have heard from companies and haven't.

Hear, hear! (Or is it 'here, here?') LOL

Thanks! I'm glad to hear that, I didn't think anyone used it anymore! I'm glad to hear so
I'll definitely check them out!

Here, here. Exactly my experience also, even down to the 10 year work experience. nm
:+

Hear, hear! Read My Opinion's opinion.
Regarding Wondering's question, the company I work for is investing strongly in upgrading its MTs' and editors' skill levels (exactly what this says about need for us for ten years down the road I can't say). This morning I found an e-mail saying they would pay every one of us to attend an on-line class on making Expander macros to increase our productivity. Amazingly, I have to assume many employees were choosing not to attend the unpaid ones they had been offering...

I've heard that DaVenture Health Partners was recently made an approved vendor, but as of today they are not posted on the eScription website yet.

Escription????
Has anyone out there worked on Escription? If so, what are your thoughts. Can you make any money at it since it pays so much less?

Escription
Does anyone know of any companies that use Escription, OTHER than Transcend and MDI-FL? Thanks in advance.

Who uses ESCRIPTION?
Thanks in advance

They use Escription. nm

Thanks! What is the VR Escription like? Thanks. nm

ESCRIPTION
Anyone working on escription, could you give me some advice on increasing my productivity. Sometimes, I do okay and then other days it is so slow going.

Any MDI MTs doing eScription
If you are employee as above, please tell me how things are there - is it a good place to work?

Any MDI MTs doing eScription
That says a lot. Thanks.

MDI-FL ad for escription MTs?

Anyone work there that can give me more details? What's the pay for editing there, dictators, atmosphere, etc? Also what about the radiology ad? Do they pay by report or by line? Thanks for any help.

Escription
Do any of you use this platform? Do you like it? Is is productive? Can you give a time frame for the learning curve? Any replys greatly appreciated.......thanks.

eScription
EditScript is Word based. It's very easy to learn. Works with Word AutoCorrect to save your shortchuts, etc. Very reliable from a technical point of view. Our facility just went live about 98 days ago, all 22 MTs are loving it. Most have already increased their productivity from our old ChartScript days. Does a really good job with speech recognition even with some horrible dictators - consistency among the MTs is key to that success.

Very nice platform, very MT friendly !

Escription
That sounds great. I appreciate you letting me know that.......I needed to hear something positive.

Escription
I used to work where they had escription but was paid hourly at that point because we had just gotten it. Sorry no help. Good luck!
