Productivity
I work on Bayscribe and do 2000 lines per day routinely, sometimes 2500. I know many MTs who do this on various platforms. I think it has more to do with years of experience than with platform used (although I must admit I loathe DQS). Please don't worry, your productivity will increase over time.
Productivity of MedRite
Anyone experienced with MedRite? Is this productive for the MT or time-consuming. Thanks
Softscript productivity, etc.
I was looking on here to see if anyone had any suggestions about improving productivity with Softscript. I have been there 3 months and am now literally working 12 hours a day because of the things that have been mentioned; the time spent looking up account specifics and physician names, or trying to get a question answered. There are a few good people there though, and I was hoping with the addition of Brenda Hurley maybe things will get better. I am an ex-MQ'r and the biggest advantage I see with SoftScript is that they do not change your accounts from week to week. I have had the same 2 for 3 months. I have 13 years experience and they did give me a little better wage, but NOTHING CLOSE to the 12 cpl I got with the first MSTO I signed on with many, many years ago. I'm afraid those days are gone. 
escription productivity
How well eScription works for you has a little to do with how efficiently you navigate around in the report and a lot to do with the dictators and how well the program types up the report in the first place (meaning, does the report need few corrections or a lot?). This depends on how well it was trained on the account in the first place. If it was trained on the account by a relatively small group of good MTs then it should work pretty good. Productivitiy also has a lot to do with the dictators themselves. If you have a super slow talking doctor that you could type as fast as listening to, then that will hurt your VR productivity. If you have a doctor that jumps around a lot and confuses the program, that will hurt your VR productivity. If you have a clear doctor who speaks fast and eScription spits out a pretty clean report, then that will help your VR productivity. How well eScription does with any particular accent of any particular doctor depends a lot on how well it was trained in the first place by the MTs. If the MTs were able to understand the doctor and give a solid report then the program will learn well and probably do well. If not... well, you get the idea.

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.
Hard to get your hours in and keep productivity up
To get a decent line count, you have to clock out when you're not transcribing. That means clock out for EVERYTHING not transcribing.
The result is you're writing/responding to email off the clock, studying account specifics off the clock, etc.--in other words, doing a lot of work off the clock.
This keeps your line count okay, but it also makes for a very long day. It's a real catch-22. If you get a good lph, you probably didn't make the hours or put in way more than your required hours to get there. If you made the hours, you probably didn't make the lph.
Sound quality varies. Have some lousier ESLs with Webmedx than a lot of places.
Software is good, aimed toward MT productivity, but for the reasons mentioned above, this may be a moot point anyway.
Look at the archives. It's interesting to see the wave of interest over various companies. Seems Webmedx is rising in interest once again. Take a look at the opinions a while back, though. You'll get a clearer picture if you don't just go with whomever is popular at the moment.
I did ask that, it would increase accuracy, productivity, TAT....sm
She took me off one of the two clinics so now I only have about 35 docs and maybe 10 specialities, but I believe this is only temporary since I am having trouble familiarizing. I just get the impression that I am not up to par where I should be and I'm surprised, as I'm a quick study. And to pour salt in it, my two QA people on our Messenger List notated next to their names yesterday that they were typing ___ and listed my account name. These ladies only type when backed up. So I think I'm bogging them down:( I feel so inadequate, and for less than 8 cpl. Oy.
productivity...long message sm
Wow, congrats on 10 years of experience, a great schedule, rare interruptions and very good work habits! Sounds like you should have no problem being more productive! It also sounds like you just need to work smarter not harder. Let Word do more of the work for you--use simple macros (page setups and jumps), autotext (templates and normals), autocorrect (long strings of text, single words with suffixes, special function codes e.g. semicolon and the ALT+ keys), autoformat (quick bold/underline), try to stay away from the mouse (use KB shortcuts), resist the temptation to go back to fix typos on the fly (but remember to spellcheck!), take a quick break every hour to stretch and drink water, set two timers--one for how long you plan to transcribe before your next break and the other to limit your referencing time or Internet playtime--5-10 minutes max? (i use CoolTimer freeware), set payroll/weekly/daily goals, temp save frequently, proof 1x, leave blanks if you must (you have nothing to prove and nothing to gain by dwelling on the difficult!) Hope this helps! =)
Here's the productivity tools site
https://secure.bayscribe.com/expander/
I wish I could help you with transferring the expander, but I can't. MIne doesn't work in Bayscribe (I use Stedman's Smartype) so I type it in Word and then cut and paste into Bayscribe.
Good luck with your expander!
Question re: your amazing productivity
I have read a couple of posts now which stated that working with Chartscript decreased their productivity tremendously. In all my years as in the biz, Chartscript is all I've ever used and it makes me wonder if that is contributing to my lack of productivity. Also, I am interested as to where you can work to make the type of line count you have - I think I'd throw myself a party every day if I reached levels such as that!!
How is MW's MeriT program as far as productivity goes? just curious
easy to learn, but not good for productivity
.
Ditto.. Over 13 years experience working in hospitals doing all types of reports, currently working
for a national etc.. and Spheris told me I didnt have the qualifications. What cracked me up was the hospital I was working at at the time contracted some of our work out to them.. What a joke..I was good enough to work for a hospital and gave them work, yet not qualified enough for them. What is wrong with this picture.
MQ same situation. No pay for working holidays, no pay for working weekends nothing. Now noone works
much anymore and so they jerk the work out of the accounts to some place that throws it back with a lot of bad bad quality. This is the NE region. I dont know what the others are doing.
working from home is awesome but working for DSG is not...
horrible dictators, sound quality is bad, no answers to emails and they run out of work consistently...that is just my experience though...
So how is that working out for you?
x
Really? I'm working, too.
However, I'm working at the part-time job I was forced to get as soon as I figured out Transcend was screwing me. I have nearly 1,800 lines in so far today. How many do you have?
Are you still working for them? LOL
If you are, why don't you take your own advice -- leave. You're no victim except of yourself.
If you're not working for them, what's it to you? We're all adults.
Whether or not a company is "good" or "bad" (such juvenille generalizations, lol) is a matter of perspective and there are PLENTY of us who don't share your views.
Are you working for them now?
I just interviewed with them yesterday and have not heard back. Are you working for them now? How is that working out for you? Are you happy? Thanks
working
I, too have worked for other services. I think Transcend is excellent. You can make as much or as little as you want. I agree with you everyone is very nice and helpful and easy to talk to and most helpful. I have a different job at Transcend now and I think that very much, but I also transcribe whenever I get a chance.
are you still working for them?
x
I liked working for them but there
wasn't enough work on the 2 accounts that I was on to justify the fee for leasing the equip and I don't make enough yet to make purchases like dictaphone, lanier, etc. they always pay on time and CORRECTLY! if I ever purchase equipment like that I'll definitely be contacting them again.
And how would you know who is working and
I sure don't!
She could have another job and working before she would even
begin to qualify for unemployment. Why put herself through that anguish. She should resign and move on. She'd have a job in one day it is my guess. Unemployment should not even be an issue here. Most people can find jobs in this business very easily.
Who are you working for now? nm
nm
Yes, it's working now.
NM
I am not working for them anyway, so
PTS Dictation in Florida. They said that they only get 8 cpl, and that is why they only pay 6 cpl, and yes based upon a 65 character line. That is not my problem they don't get paid like they should. I don't work for anything less than 8 cpl.
Working for nothing
You must not be in desperate need for making any kind of money because that company paid me terrible! $4.25 per 1,000 words. I can make more money working at McDonald's flipping hamburgers!!
Not a good company to work for! Would not recommend it to anybody!
been working with them 5 yrs now - sm
owner is not very organized and was getting paid 15th and end of month but she has stretched it out to every 3 weeks now but accounts are SUPERB and once you get past the disorganization they pretty much leave you alone to work.
Oh like you are working....
If you have to keep replying obviously you are unemployed. I am not bashing anyone. You are a few others are the only ones calling people names. I never called you a name but you called me a loser. And I do think it is funny, no hilarious, because you so angry and frustrated? Do like the above poster said, take a pill!!
I don't know what you mean - it's working for me. nm

I have been working for them for 6----
months. They are very nice people. Pay is on time. Good communication. QA is excellent. I am happy with them. If you have any more questions you may email me.
Still, would be like working for nothing....
I like what I do for a living but not that much!
You must be one of the ones let go for not working??!!
I know we do have a few sour employees who chose not do complete their files within TAT and thought they could just keep going. So yes, i'm sure they are angry they got fired and they will be angry at the next company that fires them for the same thing. Sad, really!
For those working for OSI...
How do you like it? I am considering doing their mentoring program, but it says you have to commit to a year full time following mentoring training. What is their scheduling like? Is there always a weekend day included? Is it set hours every day? Is the pay pretty good? How about the accounts and platform?
I'm sure there is info out there on them, but trying to search this forum is frustrating. I don't want to see messages from two years ago!
Thanks to anyone who can shed some light so that I can see if this is a worthwhile investment to make (in having to commit to a year full time).
For anyone working for QED...sm
Would someone currently working for QED please e-mail me? TIA
not working
Are you working actively, i mean right now, at Transtech. I too have been there a while and they are an okay company but for the last 6 months or so the work has been little to nil and I am thinking about moving around but at this moment I really would not recommend them.
not working
I think MT should be pain for downtime because 9 times out of 10 you are still sitting at your computer waiting for jobs/work to come in so technically you are still on the job. Another thing is that I hear make up your lines and/or your time but in my opinion I think the employer should compensate the MTs some kind of way instead of expecting the MTs to make up time because as stated earlier the MT was sitting at the desk waiting for the work to come in but if its not there how can it be done. Over the last few months I have tried to look at it both ways because my company has had very little to no work coming through for me. I don't hold my employer accountable per se but I feel that my employer is not seeing it from both ends when I am told by my employer to make up your lines/time before the pay period is up because obviously the work is not there.
Myself - working for myself has been the best
        
Why not? I have been working for them
for a few months and they seem fine. Certainly not as sleazy as the Q, at least on the surface. What is wrong with SoftScript?
Working for...
Anyone out there working for ATSI out of Florida? If so, how do you like? Tell me a little about the job. Thanks.
If you think that's bad, try working there and getting someone to help you - LOL
nm
Down below you say that you have been working
for Keystrokes, and are there presently. Why are you asking about testing? Honestly trying to figure this out.
I'm truly sorry it isn't working out for you. (sm)
I haven't had the problems you have. We must be on different teams. I wish you the best of luck with the company search. There has to be one that is a perfect fit for you. :-)
Working for OSi
While I am sure there are people who, for whatever reason or another, do not like OSi. I believe not all companies are a perfect fit; however, speaking from my experience with OSi, I have had nothing but a great experience. They offer incentive pay quite often. I cannot think of one bad experience I have had with this company. The pay is ALWAYS on time, people are there to help you if you have any questions. They will work with you and your schedule.
All I can say is one person's experience does not mean your experience will be the same. Good luck on your decision. Just remember, you don't have to stay if you don't like it.
Good luck,
Paulette
Don't know about actually working there.
The pay scale was weird for eScription and they send 6 files for you to transcribe. I haven't had time to do them.
working for SPi
Miserable. Their management style is to keep TAT so tightly controlled that there is almost never any work, and then to move you around to as many other accounts as necessary to keep you busy. It sucks. Forget having primary, secondary, and tertiary accounts. I hate it.
Now working for
KS
Been working for them a little
over a month now and absolutely love it! Have only had one check so far, but was on time and correct! Good accounts
Anybody out there who is working for them?
Where exactly are they located? Platform, etc. Thanks.
