I need to make a decision of which job to take...the DQS acct wants 5000 a pay period (part time) and the EXtext 7000.   I'm wondering if it would be easier to make lines on the EXtext than the DQS since I've read a lot of people have trouble making lines on DQS.  They are both 65 character lines.  Thanks.

I ran out of work, and it said connected and that's it.  I wasn't blocked.   There just was no work.  I do not know how long you have been an MT, but I have come to expect it.  It only makes sense.  Kids are out of school,doctors take off to be with their families, patients do not want to come in for elective surgery during the holidays, etc.   It all adds up to less work, unfortunately.  I try to prepare for it, but I guess I'm never truly ready. 

I do not know you, but from seeing your posts, I agree with some of the others who have stated that you seem very unhappy with your current position.   If that is the case, and if you have talked with management and they will not help you, then perhaps you should try to find something else.  I have worked for several companies, and most have been good experiences.  I will help if I can. 

Good luck to you.  I hope more work comes your way.  Heck, I hope more work comes my way too!  

I am sure others do too (in case that is the company you are unhappy with).  MDI-MD uses Bayscribe, and it is also very easy to use/user friendly.   Webmedx uses their own platform, but it is easy to us as well.  I have worked with Iscriptor too, and it is fairly uncomplicated.  Good luck!

They arent all great, but they arent all bad.   When did you do your time there?

until recently, but if you like the DocQScribe platform, you might want to look into DSG.  I tested and interviewed with them and was offered a decent pay of 9 cpl.  I originally accepted a position with them but ended up turning them down b/c they wanted more of a schedule commitment from me than I wanted to give.  For the short while that I was on their communication roster, they seemed to have a lot of work available in DSG-II and they offered bonuses almost every weekend to work extra that were paid back to the first line that you typed for the day it was offered. 

The people I spoke with there seemed pretty nice.  Like I said, I never actually worked for them, but had I not wanted the true IC status, I would have.  I really liked the idea of working on DQS, especially since I'm not familiar with any of the other platforms out there (until now).

Good luck in whatever you decide.  There are a lot of archives on here for Keystrokes if you check.  Don't really know anything about Transcend other than the constant jobs they post.  That would kind of make me wonder, but maybe they've hit a growth spurt.  If you do end up at DSG, please email me and let me know what they're like.  If things don't work out with my new job, I may try them again.  The recruiter was open to that idea.

but if I had not decided to stay retired that is where I would have gone because I know someone who works for them (I trained her myself).  She's been there a number of years and all-in-all says she is quite happy.  Her pay is way above average although I didn't ask her if she knew what the starting rate is now.  One thing I did ask her is whether they ran out of work and she said almost never.  AND she doesn't do VR.  I didn't ask whether they have VR or not.

As I said a few days ago, this is second hand information and I have no first hand knowledge.  Probably not much help but I would suggest at least talking with them.  You never know until you try it for yourself. 

Good luck!
