I remember how peeved everyone was about having to do it and I think it was resolved without the background checks, etc. I could be wrong, 'cause that was about 2 years ago and my memory fails me after 1-1/2 days. LOL

I surely would like some truth for a change and not inuendos or plain old hate towards the company from posters. They never really answer the questions posted on where they get their facts, so I question if their posts are truthful or if they just want to cause trouble, or rile everyone up like they have been doing.

Disorganization is my number 1 pet peeve and reason for NOT going any further with a company. I used my time to apply and test and fax paperwork back so you'd think they could have done their part and at least followed up. I could even assume that maybe they didn't get my paperwork, that does happen with fax machines, but you would have thought someone would have emailed, called, something to ask where it was. I would not accept a position with a company like that. My thoughts are this....if they are so unorganized that they cannot receive the paperwork and get you going, then am I sure that I will get my checks on time and that they will not get ignored or put aside. So, for me, I'd give them a thumbs down.

Unfortunately there is no exact way to figure this out.  Gross lines count everything on a line where it is one word or the whole line.  It really depends on the line length and font you will be typing in, and also on the type of reports, whether they have a lot of short lines or long paragraphs.  From reading past posts, I think as a general rule gross lines should come out to be about 30% more than 65-character lines, so 6 cents a gross line would be approximately 9 cents per 65-character line.  I get paid per gross line right now, but there are a lot of long paragraphs, and the hospital even wants numbered lists in paragraph form, so the gross line count is only about 15-20% more than 65-character, so it's not all that great.

So you might do well at 6 cents a line or you may not.  Unfortunately's there no real way to tell until you try the account for a while.

Hope this helps what.

thought about that.

I do know that some national companies only check the reports that are sent to QA once they have cleared an MT to transcribe without every report being checked.  Long ago when I worked in a hospital they selected random reports done through the month and did QA on only those reports.  Someone else could help you out better with that, I'm sure.

I think if I had worked with those MTs and they still weren't thinking for themselves, I'd get rid of them and find someone who will.  Have you considered looking for MTs at this board or another MT board?  That would involve using wav files so long distance MTs could access the dictation over the internet, but when I have to expand beyond my local trusted MTs I plan to look on the MT boards.  There are a lot of good MTs out there, and a lot of not so good ones.  You just gotta find the good ones!
