They offered me an amount and that was what they said they paid no matter what account you are on. I don't know how they work out their pay either but it sure isn't fair to the folks who have been there longer and have more than 10 years experience.
Michigan. .
SO SORRY!! I have several relatives in Michigan who have all lost jobs or drastically reduced: A mechanical engineer, home builder/grape farmer(s) and one at Pfizer who is just waiting for layoffs . .they are making wonderful pet meds now at Pfizer in Kazoo, MI
where in Michigan?
I work in Petoskey and live in Cheboygan.
Is that in MIchigan?
If it's based out of Michigan then it's the company that actually runs the on line program I took, as well as being a transcription service. The online program was pretty good - it got me working right away. It was learntranscription.com
The people that I dealt with were nice and they always looked at their own graduates to hire, so they were willing to put their money where their mouth is, so to speak.
Another in Michigan
Dictation By Phone, were in Berkley, Michigan. No pay, pays late, or checks bounce if they do pay.
In Michigan it's Michigan.gov
and Click on employment. I would look at your state's offical web site and see what you can find. You can also call or visit your local state unemployment office. That's who handles the program in Michigan. They do the testing and help you apply for the funding, etc.
Anyone know anything about Superscript out of Michigan?

rxtranscription from Michigan
Anyone know anything about rxtranscription, LLC, from Michigan? Looking to test with them later this week.
Midwest where? Not Michigan, I can tell you that.
new Michigan MTSO ... and I'm just going to have to be moving on ASAP. This particular accent is just about as bad, if not worse, than Eastern European for me. And this is just way too high a percentage for me to deal with.
Danged if I know where you can go to find fewer, but I'm going to be asking about that pointblank from now on, however negatively doing so will impact my job opportunities. I mean more than 25-30% ESLs is just beyond ridiculous, IMO. More power to those of you who can and will do more than that. I'm sure you deserve a lot more than whatever you're being paid.
Supercript out of Michigan
Does anyone currently work for Supercript out of Michigan or have worked for them before? I have been offered a position with them and need to make a decision. Are they good to work for, pay on time, etc. Anyone with any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
You have to be in Michigan for starters. sm
Preferably the west side of the state as you have one day of training at their home office in Cadillac. They provide everything you need including the computer. They use Vianeta and their tech support people are great. They give you a mentor to start with and expect you to be off corrections within a week or two. And they always answer emails and/or phone calls.
Hope this helps.

Anyone working for them now or anyone that has worked for them in the past, I'm considering working for them, but would like some info first - anything - the good, bad and the ugly. Thanks so much!

I live in Michigan and they were going to pass that s/m

You are welcome for my speaking up
When you allow anger or dissatisfaction to control you for this length of time, you are not a healthy person. Please, for your health, mentally and physically, just let go and move on. I have had plenty of negative experiences in my life, but if I were to allow them to control me the way this negativity seems to control you...well, there are lock down facilities that would be happy to sedate you! Get a l-i-f-e!
Speaking of QA
I had spelled a Midwestern town Fond du Lac. Lost a whole point on my QA because of it. The Zip code book was wrong they had Fond Du Lac, but QA went by the Zip Code Book. Don't you just feel like we have to walk on water all the time?
Speaking of D & L....
Anything new on them? Seems pretty quiet on these boards the last week or so. They must be getting it together.
Only speaking for myself
But I've found Transcend to be a very good company in many ways. Being paid on time, staff is helpful. I initially had some issues with not getting any feedback but that's been squared away. I'm on the Meditech part and this is quite archaic as is the hospital system I'm working on but so what, it works. I have plenty of work and have only run out on the holidays but you will Anywhere you work. All in all its been a pretty good experience and I'm more than happy I switched from MQ to here. Oh yeah, and the pay is better than most I've found depending on your experience of course. Be ready to ask the recruiter lots of questions and take notes.
All you can do is try it and see.
Good Luck :D
Speaking for myself
I think it's one of those things that happens in a split second without being consciously aware of-- like spelling a word but getting an extra letter in it; some part of my brain hears 5 Keystrokes instead of 4, or I might only hear 6 keystrokes when there should be 7. It isn't anything that I try to do; it just happens. I assume it's the same way as in music you can 'feel' when you've not got the notes to an unfamiliar melody you're playing from sheet music just right. It just happens, and is part of what my family and I jokingly call me typing while the force is with me.
Speaking for myself
I believe a living wage, and not a wage that I will get rich from or even be comfortable from, is a minimum of 9 cents a line, and I don't even live in a high cost of living area. Frankly, I don't know how the people NY and CA do it these days...I was able to 15 years ago easy, no more.
I believe I'm worth at least a penny a line more than that, but accept the harsh reality that I will not see that unless I set up my own service.
The 9 cents I mentioned above is harder to earn than ever- one of the side effects of VR is that the money-making dictators, the ones that enabled us to make up for the crappy ones, are now on VR, so there is no balance in what we type.
Call me greedy, but I think a skilled transcriptionist, the ones who are able to type the crud that's left after all the Dr. Smiths and Dr. Johnsons have gone to VR, deserve at least 11 cents a line, taking into account what it would cost for one VR person and 2 editors to produce the same report a lot faster.
Speaking up
I'll happily name a company. I work for Transcend. Yes, the evil Transcend. And despite all the absolute negativity I read on this board regarding them, I am very happy there. I make a very, very good line rate, make a comfortable living, have a wonderful ROM and TL, and usually have plenty of work. On the few occasions the work has been low I have simply asked to be cross-trained on a new account or a new platform and have been accommodated.
I fully believe that you get back what you put in. I know that change in scary and that a lot of people are facing some huge changes right now. I was part of a merger recently too, and I was very anxious and scared. But at least TRY to make a go of it. Change is not always a bad thing. All the negativity that people spout off here is not helping anything, not changing anything, only making people angry and causing them to feel sorry for themselves and hate anyone who is making a successful go of it. I think it's very, very sad.
thank you for speaking up
We need more people like you who will champion us.
Sorry, this is Warminster MQ I am speaking about.

Speaking of taxes...
when paying self-employment tax, does that include unemployment taxes? I was thinking of filing since it looks like finding another job may take a long time.
Please share what you are speaking of.
Sale to whom?
Speaking as a recruiter, an MT myself as are many
I know who are recruiters, dealing with attitudes like yours makes me feel like this entire job is thankless! What the heck am I working for to do a good job? Huh? I go out of my way to be helpful to the MTs that I interview and test and to respond to their questions as best as I know how to respond. The answers I give are the ones that are given to me by my employer so I am as truthful as they are to me and I know other recruiters who also try to do their darndest to be as honest as we can.
So WHO GETS THE BAD RAP? The recruiter apparently if our company does not give us truthful answers so basically I do not feel much like being a recruiter anymore. I am personally offended at the attitude of the MTs towards the recruiters because I have to tell you that being a recruiter takes a good 10-15 hours a day of work as well as it is a 7 day a week job. I HAVE to abide by YOUR schedule MT. If you cannot interview during the day, I have to interview you at night, on weekends, or whenever I can get you.
I am plain sick of this thankless job and it is my desire to get back into training (oh, but wait--I believe you label trainers as not being very good don't you?...or maybe I will go QA full time...oh but wait, I believe QA is your dreaded enemy!). So, what is a recruiter to do? I personally have learned the programs that an MT uses for my company just so I an answer the questions that the MTs have about the program.
I am sick of the attitudes on this board and on others as far as recruiters go. It is never the fault of anyone but the recruiter apparently because you are the most narrow-minded thankless people I have ever come in contact with and if it were not too late to change fields, I would run as far from this profession as I could.
speaking of their own servers.....
anyone have a problem with Dictaphone while working on ExText adding up lines sloooooooowly as in they don't start to show for 3 - 4 hours and then trickle in???
