in half an hour?
One page has 40 lines.
This is a ridiculous statement.
I bet you cannot even read that fast WITHOUT having to make corrections!!!
It is good to be pro-VR, but don't push it with such hilarious pretenses.

Wow! This means 19 pages in 1 hour! One page has 40 lines.
This I will n e v e r , e v e r believe, only if I see it with my very own 2 blue eyes!
LOL !
you really need to read through all these pages...see thread inside
there are threads on pages on this company board that are not positive. however, people tend to post negative rather than positive at this site.
people are not going to do your searching for you. do not assume because no one answered your question it is positive sign.
for example, here's a thread at page 10.
http://forum.mtstars.com/company/v/1/94910.html
good luck.
This was discussed recently. Try a search or just read back thru all the pages to find. nm

There were pages of VERY negative posts about them, in the high teen-20s pages on
s
Just means over 200 people have read it....

Will we be able to see all the pages?
Cannot go to the 2nd page now.
well done! this could go 10 pages, lol.

they only had 100 pages to type!
I already have a job. If I were trying to nab a full time job, I would have been more careful, but the woman told me she needed someone to help out ASAP, like this afternoon.... so I squeezed in the typing test during my regular work. She needs help with 100 reports and then bye bye, so I really didn't think spongebob would make a difference to her.
Look on pages 9, 10, 11 of the archives,
there's more info there too.
Yep saw that. They think 10-15 pages an hour.?? sm
This is to coincide with their proposed hourly pay. They get their calculators out and think HEY this sounds good.
They have absolutely no IDEA how long a page takes and what expertise is involved. $1.10 a page. They equate women with typing and this shows value (under-valued, second class, purchased commodity.
George says what he means or is it he means what he
but he sure does apologize in a way I've never heard a person whose company is valued at $8m a year apologize before and I've worked for companies who played who is the president of the week game! All I can say is that his personal interview about his high school reunion has a distinctly different style than his late January postings in which he degrenates the poster he tries to engage. Just remember George's quote we are misinformed.
Look through the yellow pages of your local
phone book and call agents that offer health insurance. Make several calls. I did this when we needed private insurance and each call I made I got a lower premium, although every company had the very same insurance. Celtic is what we found to be the lowest. We no longer have this insurance as we have insurance through DH job, but we had no existing conditions, no regular meds, nonsmokers, so I'm not sure if these were covered. I'd keep calling about COBRA. The company has to offer it. If you go 45 days without insurance and have a pre-existing condition you are in trouble, unless things have changed since we got insurance. There is a temporary insurance through Fortis that is very cheap, but the deductible is very high and it doesn't cover pre-existing conditions.
I'd stay away from the association for the self-employed or whatever it is called. When I called them their rates were double what I could get a private policy for and it was the same insurance.
Go thru the last 4 pages here. They have been discussed recently. nm
s
Any way you can search recent pages w/o having to go to each one
xx
Scroll down a couple pages (sm)
There are a few posts about them, nothing good that I saw. I do remember complaints about not enough work and the owner needing to sharpen up on his communication and people skills.
What? There are a ton of TT MTs posting here. Scroll through the last few pages.
I would estimate that 95% of what you see posted here about TT is positive.
I agree 10 pages to long sm
A while back I applied with a co who sent me a 45 min test file. I did 20 minutes of the file and sent it back. I explained that I felt 45 minutes was excessive. They asked me to work for them. So you never know.
That being said, I saw WPU's ad and $1.25 per page is low. If you haven't done it before, you'll make less than $10 an hour to start. If you're decent and can do 10 pages in an hour, you'll make 12.50 an hour. If you're really good and can do 20 pages in an hour, then you're still only making $25 an hour - for being really good - and that's low in my book. IMO
then why is it not posted on financial web pages?
No info from Forbes, Reuters...
or as soon as you memorize all of those pages on that account
they change your account again.
Job bank used to have 3 or more pages of jobs.
x
you better check this board, all the pages...
someone posted what they pay, what it was like to work there, etc. do your homework. look b4 you leap.
Go to archives, company pg 87. Pages work

Look back thru the jobs pages here or go to mtjobs.com. nm

I looked thru 2 pages and couldn't find anything.
I thought it was deleted as can happen here!
Go through the yellow pages of your local phone
book and call insurance companies that offer health insurance. Call several. I called 6 companies when I was looking and all the quotes were for the very same insurance, but varied as much as $200/mo. Celtic was the best insurance. For a family of 4, nonsmokers it was about $335/mo. We don't have the insurance now as we have through DH job. I can't remember if that included dental/vision/maternity coverage. There is also a temporary insurance through Fortis, that depending on what state you live in is good for 1 year. It is not renewable and you cannot get it if you have a pre-existing condition, or have been without coverage for a certain time period, can't remember but I think it is 15 days. We could only get it for 6 months in our state and I paid the premium for the entire coverage and it was $403.00 total for the entire 6 months. The deductible was $5,000. This was basically catastrophic insurance, did not cover dental/vision/maternity. We are all healthy and on no meds so for us it was the best option. You can check e-insurance website and get some quotes to get an idea of coverage available, though it will not likely have everything that is available included, which is why I suggest calling local agencies. There is a self-employed organization that offers insurance, but I found to be very expensive, about what you are paying now.
Check into medical savings accounts. I don't know that much about them, but I believe you have to qualify for them. You basically put $$ into an account much like an IRA and get tax breaks.
Don't know what they pay, but a poster a few pages back said Rad w/them was awful! nm
n
I personally don't advertise in the Yellow Pages because I was getting a lot of sm
calls from housewives who know how to type *real good*. Or people who wanted to do this because they saw in a magazine that you can make a lot of money in your free time!
They used to pay a low per-page rate & the subsequent partial pages

Several posts recently on newest pages here & lots of

Use the Google box on this page & the mtstars.com icon. Pages

Just scroll back several days and search the pages for webmedx. nm

10 pages, bull, they want it for free, give them one page or find another job.
.
Yeah, I agree with the other posters. Ten pages is overkill. I think even with one page that would
get a feel for your skills and experience. No one can hide inexperience or inability to do the work. There is NO WAY I'd ever do a 10-page report without being paid. They are ridiculous. I'd be curious to see if anyone actually falls for this tactic. I saw that they give their ICs 5 days turnaround time so I'd say if they had several MTs testing, they should easily make their quota for their clients. UNREAL!!!
It brings up 10 pages of info on TTS including the most recent stuff

I read all read all the threads in the "companies" section
of another board, MT Chat, and Googled each one that got positive reviews. If they had a website and a way to apply online, I did so. And that was how I got hired at TRS. They were not advertising at the time. By sheer coincidence I applied to Transcend just before I applied to TRS, and they were not interested in what I had to offer at the time. And now they've got me anyway, since they bought TRS. Interesting how things work out sometimes.
Companies with negative reviews, or company queries that got only a terse I sent you a PM reply, I passed over.
What it means to me?
As an employee of Heartland, what my understanding is of what that means to me....I am still an employee, and more than likely the purchasing company will need me just like Heartland needs me now. Waiting for the conference calls to hear more information.
It means
That SoftScript screws everyone who has a brain between their ears. The "newbies", and no offense intended, run the company because that is all they have because anyone with any experience has LEFT and rightly so. They take your lines, make you think you are insane, have you work 24-7 to get a decent pay, and god bless if it is on time, which it actually has been x2 since they have been bashed on this board. THAT IS WHAT ALL THIS MEANS. The management is the worst, QA the worst, and lies beyond belief. That is what all this means. DUH.
It means they need it right now!
What stat. means to you as a Transcriptionist is that the turnaround needs to be fast! It would be identified in your accounts specs or your contract or whatever what the turnaround is. Maybe it is an hour, maybe 2 hours, maybe 4 hours after it is dictated. Whatever it is, it means that they need it back quickly. It has priority over anything else.
what does this means?
Im a newbie MT and trying to find a job. I would like to ask what does this means as for compensation? Is this good?
Compensation Information: Subcontract, 9 cents for 65 keystrokes
what does this MEANS....
xx
Yes, I think that is what it means. Not sure why they don't just say so LOL.
x
It means there is no more. nm

So that means
You can thank the politicians in DC (both parties) for passing NAFTA and giving us the SHAFTA...
What do you think this means?
I'm wondering what this new COO means for us down here typing away in the trenches. Does anybody know anything about him?
for now usually means
until we get all our people making half what you do trained, then . . . .
SE means
statutory employee. Like an IC (independent contractor) you pay your own taxes, set your own schedule, etc, but as an SE, the employer pays part of the SS taxes. No benefits come with either IC or SE positions, other than freedom.
Thank you all, that means a lot to me
:)
exactly, which means
if you are going to claim yourself 100%, you need to present it also. Talk is so cheap.
OT for some means OOW for others
I normally work 3-11 pm. I come on and look at my email. The boss approved OT early this AM because we were out of TAT; by the time I punch in we're within an hour of dictation, BUT SHE LEAVES APPROVED OT UP THERE, and by 8 pm I'm OOW because all the day people got the OT (and are still on there wanting more) and I'm lucky if I get my 8 hours working secondaries putting in a 10 hour day.
How so? If they are IC, and know what that means,
x
OK, that means no. I'm sure if the SM
money was in your account right now, you'd be posting it all over the boards about how you were right.
My pay was in the bank on the day it was supposed to be-I wish yours had been also.
