I guess it depends on what your error was.

It all depends on the percentage of the error assessed.
I have worked for a couple of companies who charge an extremely high amount of points for punctuation errors.  If this is the case, one can definitely dip into the 80s with punctuation errors.
Depends on the VR I guess.
It's always a little slower when you first start an account, but once I'm used to an account I was edit up to 650 lph at 4 cpl.  There are people who can do more than that but I think more starts getting missed after that point.  I can straight type around 180-200 lph.
guess it depends
on your experience and what you'll settle for. I always ask for more.
Guess it depends
on who your account lead is, mine is lousy. Pay is always on time and correct but other things going on I dont particularly care for. Do like the company tho so will try and get on another account. I really think the issue is with the lead.
I guess it just depends
on all the variables for each person, i.e. account they are on, doctors dictating, and how fast they can acclamate to a new program? What about Lee Perfect. Any comments on the company?
I guess it depends on who you are doing it for - sm
I did prn work last year for .10 a line, it was all overflow. I was quite happy with .10 though. It was not stat work, just do it when you can and get it done as soon as you can of course. It was not difficult work (DS) and I made up templates which made it even more of a money maker for me. So I made some extra cash and got paid more than I do normally. It was a win-win for me. They know they can rely on me if they have more overflow in the future.
I guess it depends on where you are located

It also depends on how much experience you have and how you manage your time.  It is easy to become a work-a-holic in this field.  However, if you gain experience, and choose wisely you will make great money.  There must be an interest though not just a way to stay home.  There are so many variables and also what one person considers decent and what another considers decent can be two different things.  


I guess it just depends on where you work
I get a yearly raise automatically after a short evaluation in the office.
Depends on your accounts I guess.
I have been running in and out, but still manage to work a full day. Absolutely love it here.
guess it depends on the account

my primary and my backup both have frequent OT.   I am part time and no, no PTO.


I guess it all depends on the type of EMR used..sm
I worked in a multispecialty clinic that went to the point and click/template EMR. My work gradually dwindled until I was let go 4 months later.
Ya, but it's not a spelling error, it's a grammar error!
Get it?
sorry to hear that. I guess it depends on the account
just like anything else. Some hospital accounts use several services, so the quality of drafts will differ from poor to excellent, depending on who works on the account.

Overall, I love the platform and it is very user friendly.
ouucchh. i thought $1.25 was low. lol guess it depends
i know i wouldn't type for that. however, some may be thrilled with that rate.


Well I guess it depends on what account you get on because I have set schedule (nm)

I find the sound quality not so great on some accounts. I guess it depends on what account you get
on. 
ERROR....
I posted the above asking for information about Transform, Inc. and said they were located in Wisconsin.   I made a mistake they are located in Missouri.  Thanks.
error sm
supposed to be hire not high resistance....darn expander!
I've easily done 600, but it depends on the way a company counts lines and it depends on the
dictators. Obviously, if you have a good share of ESL, there is no way you could ever do 600 or 700. On really difficult ones, I usually run around 400 lines an hour and I have been working on this platform for 3 years.
Not a lot of room for error

If you know the BOS 2.  Then apply.  If you don't.  Do not apply.  A very strict MTSO to work for. 


Then what you said in your first post was in error. sm
You specifically said, and I quote *The American Medical Association allows foreign nationals who practice in this country to join their association and nobody thinks a thing of it.*  That was an error then, right?  Because they are certifying and allow members from other countries, who have driven the working wage down and taken our jobs.  That is the reality.  Did you see where union workers are very angry about the illegal aliens. Why do you think that is?  Do you know that it is projected if the illegal aliens continue to flood this country, the minimum wage will never be raised.  Illegal aliens and offshoring benefit the greedy employer and the rest of the work force are punished for it.  I'm so happy you can be so magnanimous about it.  If you are certifying members in INDIA, PAKISTAN and TIMBUKTU, you should take the name AMERICAN out of the name of the association.  Period.  Full stop.  End.
you DO get an error message BUT

you can just bypass it.  it says that you are not connected so it cannot get rid of your job but just click cancel and when you connect it will get rid of the jobs.  it is the voice files it is trying to dispense.


Good luck with your Grandma!!


Have you figured your error out yet?
nm
Now here's a spelling error!
foreing?
Your post has an error....

If you do not proof your email when I applying for a job, how do we know you will be more careful when transcribing?


Does that include the recruiter proofreading a post on this board?  I see an error.  What gives?  I know you are not an MT, but can you find your own error?  


I would have to assume that works both ways.  Have a great day!


That's not the only problem they have. I get more error
messages and downtime from that crappy program than I spend working. Nothing is user friendly and its always one excuse after another why it can't be fixed.
that would be **** chained*** error n/m
n
My math error, sorry. sm

But it is not for me, I don't want to do 2000 lines a day, 250 lines an hour,  for 7.5/lines for $150. bucks.  Burn out.  Nobody should have to work like that to make a living not with the junk dictation.


but ya all go ahead..


If the error changes meaning of the report
Because that's dangerous. It should be something that almost never happens though.
Sorry, error made here and I meant to say
it was NOT as much as I first thought. Sorry :)
QA error values survey...
I am just curious and trying to get a randomized answer regarding error values when an editor/QA/QC audits reports.  For example:  Major medical error has what point value, minor English error has what point value, etc.  Also, if you don't mind stating what company this is or was for? If you would rather email me, you are more than welcome.
Subtle way of correcting her error. I like that.
nm
The e-mail I got didn't say anything about an error. If
there was an error why not just say so and tell us what it is and put our mind at ease.   The email Thursday assuring us the money would be in our accounts by the end of the day or checks overnighted to us shouldn't have been sent when they know it wasn't going to happen.  Not e-mailing us first thing Friday to tell us what was going on didn't help things.  I'm fairly new so I'm not in panic mode yet, but then my bills are paid and my cabinets are stocked.  I do think the situation has been handled poorly and for top management not to address the situation is irresponsible.
Mine didn't say error either
This is the part that is so unsettling for me too.  And the fact that the human resource/payroll person doesn't even know what is going on and the fact they will not let her know what is going on is what is unsettling for me.  If they would just come right out and let us know what the heck is going on, then I would be a little more at ease.  But, no one is saying ANYTHING.  However, supposedly the money is there.......
Yes, they do. So sorry to have made an error and forced you to have (sm)
to take your time to correct those of us who are not perfect.


If one dares to point out an error a QA
made, one might just quit because she will make your life really nasty, especially when she's the supervisor's friend.
And this does not only apply to Axolotl. It happens everywhere.
This was in ERROR-was referring to Trans Tech!
This post below was in error. I thought you were referring to Transtech - all of the same applies, however, great company (Trans Tech) pay on time, etc etc:)
She didn't make 1 spelling error that I can see.
nm
Not the Op, but do you not see a simple grammatical error in your post? nm
.
That is heard, not heart. Must be a subliminal error!
nm
YES it requires more, well-know 50% med. error rate in hospitals nm,
. We have much more to know and keeping educating across the board than most medical people as we cross across ALLL medical/surgical specialities and related disorders/meds/products etc that go with them
I once saw an Indian error where he/she changed the name of a famous street
which was mentioned in a report, just because he/she didn't realize it was a street name. The Indian MT changed it to say something real romantic and inaccurate, like The patient was on the street where the lovely sun sets. It took me just a moment to realize from the context that the dictator just mentioned the street name, Sunset Blvd. No way an American would change that!
Must have typed too much, lots of spaces taken out. I'm not error-ridden, what's up w/that? nm

ERROR: 1.60 PER MINUTE OF TRANSCRIPTION, HOWEVER, HAVE THE TIME SPENT WAS PASTING
NM
Just found out I have to buy error/omission insurance to remain IC. So long MDI.

Geez, that was a sloppy, error-ridden post on my part. Yikes, sorry...nm

Well, it depends on what you need and are looking for - sm
do you want employee status, need benefits, need equipment supplied by company or do you want IC status, your own schedule, no benefits, and a good line rate?

There are many good companies out there, and even Transcend is a good company in some MTs eyes.

What are you looking for?
4.65 to 5.10 cpl. Depends on whether you
get 55% or 60% of your base salary.  You will starve to death only doing 1100 lines a day.  That would be $51.15 to $56.10 a day,.  
Depends.
I've talked with MTs who have said that MQ dumped them immediately upon giving notice, and they're anxious about getting on somewhere else immediately. I've talked to others who have had MQ offer them the moon and all nearby planets, with interest, to stay. I'm not talking 2 or 3 people here, but dozens. I'm not sure what the motivating factor is behind their decisions, because some of the best MTs I've seen have been ousted immediately. Go figure. Might depend on your office and the work load.
Depends
one person will tell you one thing, the next person will tell you another.  I think the company I work for is THE best but then you might not agree.  You kinda just have to find what works for YOU and you won't really know that until you try it.
