QED Transcription, Bentonville, Arkansas
QED hires part-time and full-time transcriptionists, with a required minimum of 600 lines per day for PT and 1200 lines per day full time. A line is considered 58 characters on some of the more difficult accounts, 60 characters on some of the other accounts (as I understand it). Any lines above 6000 lines per week is 7 cents a line, and then 8 cents per line for a certain number of lines over that--but that is very difficult to attain. (The pay scale is a little bit more complicated than that, but that is basically it).
They hire both acute care transcriptionists with many years experience and clinical transcriptionists who just finishing training. They have quite a few different accounts to meet the needs of various transcriptionists.
They are struggling to keep their transcriptionists in work and are doing a fairly good juggling act, but the trade-off for transcriptionists is a less flexible schedule than what one might prefer. Instead of requiring a certain number of lines per day at your leisure, they require you to choose a schedule that works for you and stick with it--i.e., not be away from your desk more than 15 minutes during your chosen time, begin on time, end on time, etc. or contact the help desk if you must deviate from your schedule, be counted tardy if you are not there on the dot, etc. Also, there are constant requests for working on the weekends, AFTER you have satisfied your commitment for during your regular schedule.
To summarize, the pay is low; the schedule is not as flexible as it could be. They do provide the equipment, and you might or might not like that arrangement. You certainly can't pop over and check your own e-mail while you are on their computer.
They do offer health and dental insurance for full-time employees, paid days off and unpaid days off.
One more thing, low pay notwithstanding, they are really sticklers for accuracy, but I've found it easy to meet the accuracy requirements.
For reference, I have 20 years' transcription experience in a variety of settings, including acute care and clinical.
There are many, many ESL dictators in the accounts that I am assigned to.

There was an article about how "wonderful" this company is in the Baltimore Business Journal earlier this year. Wonderful, my hiney!! The checks bounce, they are an Indian-owned company, the work is beyond horrible. They also have a couple of American companies that they use as a backdoor, and use an American as the representative front person.
They are located in Ohio....sm
An offshoot of one of the major health systems here in the Akron area. Were just recently started and are trying to get their feet wet in the national arena. Primarily were doing nothing but local work just a few months ago and very disorganized at the time. Don't know what they're like now. Benefits seemed good, comparable, but were just getting started. Originally wanted 150 lph with 98% quality and a rather harsh grading scale. For instance, medical word misuse was minus 5 percentage points, omitted (consequential) dictation minus 5 points, medical misspelling minus 3 points, and so on.... Hope this helps!
Is this company located in NYC???
If it is, I'm very surprised by this. A few years ago they were quite reputable.

Joanna is the owner, she lives in Spain at the moment and that is probably why the caller ID did what it did. The way I understood it is Joanna and she has one FT IC who works with/for her. HTH.

who were called Annette and Babette, so that's rather a coincidence. They ran their own MTSO from their basement located in Northeast tristate area. Blast from the past, for sure!

It also depends on how much experience you have and how you manage your time. It is easy to become a work-a-holic in this field. However, if you gain experience, and choose wisely you will make great money. There must be an interest though not just a way to stay home. There are so many variables and also what one person considers decent and what another considers decent can be two different things.
Could this be related on On-Point? Where are they located?

Anyone familiar with this company? Need to know pros and cons, etc., including what their cpl rate would be for someone with 10-1/2 years experience. Thank you.
