I despise it. You will never ever make as much money as on straight transcription.

can you make decent money straight typing for .08 cpl?
with Expanders for low ESL docs?
Stay with Transcend. I make more money edit than I ever could straight typing
Plus, the benefits are pretty good. Insurance is a little high but it is everywhere.
Hated VR. Made less money that straight transcription..sm
I was extremely boring and mindless work. People say they doubled their production/lines with VR. That is true but remember if you make 0.08 straight typing and 0.04 doing VR, you are making the same amount of money. I made about 150 bucks less a month because the dictators were horrible and I had to end up typing almost all the reports over. I will never do it again.
Amherst so we make less money and they get more money for MQ and bigger bonuses. Our guidelines came
from Amherst.
yep, gotta spend money to make money. NM

I doubt you will make enough money in 5 hours a week to make
nm
Yep. I make 9 cpl straight/6.92 cpl ASR. nm.

We should make the same for VR as straight MT
And that is where this is headed if they want to tap into our extensive experience. I don't think they will get a clue until they find us all gone. Then, like the 1970s, they will finally figure it out. Since MT is not being touted on TV anymore as a wonderful career and the technical colleges are cutting the programs, not sure where they will find MTs to replace us. I know I'm working on another career right now and not an hourly job either.
I could only make more with VR if the cpl were the same as straight.....nm

Just want to make sure I have this straight. You come here obviously trying to stir the pot
with your e-mail about them obviously growing beyond the ability of their office staff to keep up and that they only want calls in an emergency, yet you want to work for them? Who are you and what are you trying to start here? Where on earth did you ever get the idea that they only wants calls of an emergency nature or that their office staff cannot keep up? If you really believe that, why in the world would you want to work for them?
First of all, they have never, ever said only to call in an emergency. With regard to the office staff, I have never failed to receive a timely and PLEASANT response to anything I need.
You are so clearly trying to start some sh*t here and you need to get over yourself, get a life and get a grip!
I work at KS and I don't even make that straight typing. :( nm
I make 11 cpl with straight typing with MDI, and I doubt Transcend will keep our pay as it is. I am
nm
You won't be able to make any money there.
Especially if you have to enter ALL of the patient info.
MAKE MONEY ?
How on earth can anybody make a decent pay with this editing crap?? It is not user-friendly...it is slow and they pay is even more crapier !
Can you make any money?
Hi all,
Just wondering if if is possible to make much money doing transcription for these companies at home. I just started with one and they are very nice, professional, etc. etc., however I feel I am moving along at quite a good pace and am just making a little over $10 an hour. I was hoping for more like $25. Is it possible anywhere? Let me know what the average pay is?
I wish I would get more OPS, always make more money with them.

I think MTs believe NO ONE should make money but them!
If no profit is to be made, no one will be in business - whether it is a small MTSO, an MT on her own, or a national. Heck, even a hospital will close if it isn't making profit!
Business is to make money. Competition is so high for companies/MTSOs. It's not the MTSOs fault, is it? No. They have a right to make a profit for their work.
I'm like you: I don't agree with everything going on in the profession but I am very happy with my work and always have been. I can accept the things that I cannot change. Otherwise, if I am unhappy, I move on. No sense sitting around being glib about something you have every opportunity to change.
Sometimes you make LESS money
Because of having rounded experience, you sometimes get all the crap/scrap work.
How do you make money like this?
Are most of the reports full listens? Does it balance out with lots of reports with only 1 or 2 blanks? I'm considering an offer and need to know if I can make any money with Focus on escription?
How do you make money on VR?
Please tell me how to make $50 an hour with Escription. I need to be making more than 7cpl. My husband can't work so I have to take care of my kids. Please email me any info on how to make money on Escription. Thanks so much
At TT, can I really make as much money with VR

Straight Transcription vs VR
If anyone has gone from straight transcription to voice recognition, what was the expected increase in LPH, 50%, 75%, 100%? And how realistic was expectation?
Straight Transcription/VR
EditScript
Does KS do ASR or is everything straight transcription?
I absolutely hate ASR, just can't seem to make as much editing as transcribing.
As far as I know they do straight transcription. I don't know
what shifts are available, you'll have to ask them about that.
When you have to go from straight transcription...sm
to a VR account it is a big deal. I have worked on my second choice and I really am not thrilled with it. The only reason I have stayed with TT was because of TO, as I really, really liked that account and now they are gone. I am glad you are happy with your alternatives, but some of us are not.
STRAIGHT TRANSCRIPTION
Looking for a company with straight transcription. Cannot make money with ASR. Any suggestions?
MDI-MD is straight transcription....n/m

straight transcription
JLG. The only problem is that they do not have direct deposit right now. Other than that, great company to work for.
OSI - do they have just straight transcription? see msg
How are the accounts/dictators? I'm thinking of testing but will not do SR/VR - just looking for part time multispecialty clinic work to fill some gaps. Any info is appreciated. Thanks!
Straight transcription here...
... and I much prefer it that way. I have never even been asked if I want to learn speech-wreck. I've been at this 37 years, I'm very good at it (if I do say so myself) and I'm fast. It ain't broke so nobody better try to fix it.... :)
make more money at Wal-Mart
and they give you a piece of the company
lol
Etransplus--can you make money there
Does anyone know about etransplus. Upon until now the feedback I have gotten has been pretty good looking through the posts. I was really taken aback by the amount of styles they have. Wow, what a change for me. I know I can get used to it, but I know I'm going to probably take some time. How do their line counts jive with a character count line? I really liked the fact that they offered insurance for 900 lines a day. That is great. I hope I can bang out the lines!
At Spheris, if you want to make more money
you have to go to a higher level account, period.
That is the only fair way to do this, in my opinion.
so why not buy a few shares and make money off them anyway?

I make great money there
I do not do radiology, but ER and basic 4, and I make 10 cpl, have tons of work, and make a great living there. That is just my own experience. Others may have had different experiences there.
You can make a lot more money than that at home
NO MSG
MT's often make more money than managers too
.
hard to make money
One account has a rotten platform that doesn't work half the time and has a long record of miscounting lines. Just about everything is 100% listen which makes it even harder to make money by the line. Big turnover in account managers lately so expect to work for phone clerks and HR clerks who have been promoted to account manager (cheaper that way) and people who have no acute care experience whatsoever. You've probably already been told there is no holiday pay, the vacation time sucks, and the insurance is horrible. If you just need editing experience to move on, that that's the place.
i make more money at home but
you must be disciplined to sit and not get distracted. There are a lot of distractions at home.. I do know I save a lot of money not using my car.
And that might just explain why MTs can't make any money. nm

I beg to differ, I make more money on VR sm
than regular transcription now.
Me too. You work, you make money. SM
You work well, you make more money. You work smart, you make more money. You work long, you make more money. You work hard, you make more money. The key word all else depends on isn't zone, it's work.
Gosh you can make a lot more money in QA
:)
Could you expand on that? Why can't you make any money with it?

make better money coding...sm
I do earn more money coding, mainly because it is hourly pay (so no fluctuations like you get with line counts) and the value of the benefits. I do think there are coding jobs which are much less stressful than where I work. Actually, I think most of them are. Our facility is huge, actually has it's own little city, with 3 hospitals, one with a level 1 trauma center which is shared with a children's hospital, 150-some clinics, an eye institute, and a cancer center plus is a teaching facility so we do the coding for the college facilities. Most coding jobs in my area (midwest) are working from home. Our benefits include health, dental, life, disability and vision insurance, FSA and HSA accounts, tuition reimbursement, AHIMA membership paid, 403B match, 4.6 hours of earned vacation and 1.8 hours of sick time per pay period (2 weeks) so they're pretty good. I do know coders in other facilities around here who do not have the same stressful conditions which we have and who love their jobs. Much of it is due to size and our remote management. I used to work at a smaller hospital and really liked coding there. I left when my daughter became ill and needed me home. I ended up at the facility I am with now because they were one of the few places who did have home coding available at the time that i started. Now I just think I am too darned old to start over someplace else and give up my seniority, vacation accrual, etc., so I will stick it out until I can retire. So it's my own fault I'm miserable 'cuz I don't make the change! If you go into coding, I hope you get to be one of the people who does love it and would venture a guess you would not find the stress level to be what ours is unless you work for one of the largest of facilities.
I couldn't make any money with them
for pretty much the same reason -- and I usually do pretty well with ESL dictators, but combined with the dictation quality it was rough. I think they started at 0.0875 per line, with maybe more per line depending on how many lines you produced. I don't remember for sure about that though.
Used to make good money
My income has dropped by $20,000 in the past 2 years working at Spheris, and from what I understand new hires get paid even less.
I asked for and make no money with the
rescue group. I do not file on any taxes, I did not incorporate it, my only thing is to be able to interact with the animals and rescue from otherwise the animals being put down. I did not go into for the money. If others make money off of it, that is up to them. I only finance.
I do VR and love it and yes you can make money but
you need a good platform to be able to do it. I work on Escription, possibly the best according to others who work on it also. I make 4 cents a line,the biggest percentage of my work day is VR but also have some straight thrown in. I do NOT use any keys to help me. I have done MTing now over 30+ years, no newbie here and fast speed of 120+. I usually average over $20 per hour. I am very familiar with my acct (same hospital job now for 19 years), hold my pedal down and fast forward as much as humanly possible and really like it much better than straight anymore. No secret on my end, just able to edit fast and yes, I do read each and every word and do not just let the work go through in order to make what I would consider decent money.
I never said I didn't make money being an MT. sm
I simply was exploring what would happen when a manager was informed they would take home half their pay in October. I don't know if I'll make money when my pay is cut. Will you when yours is cut?
Kudos for the rolling eyes, I wouldn't have thought of that.
