I will add an addendum to this post...

In Reply to: I understand your point.... - MRSA
The argument could be based on quality, but I also do not think that is a great argument. And I know this next statement may upset some, but it's true: There are many, many US MTs who are not producing quality transcripts, either. It is a fact. Another fact is that many hospitals/physicians are not extremely concerned about quality. If you have ever had access to hospital EMR, you will notice how many mistakes are input by physicians and nurses...even drug allergies are spelled phonetically. It appears that they just do not care about quality.

ADDENDUM TO POST
Also, it would be to my employers benefit to have us go with this service, have it not pan out for us, and then they do not have to pay us unemployment benefits.
ADDENDUM
Also interested to know amounts of deductible and percentage of coverage under the medical plan.
addendum--sm
and please don't pee while you are dictating. I can hear this and it is disgusting. thank you.
addendum to above...
Sorry I meant dial up. This is a bit slower but still works. They send you their software VoiceWave player to download on your computer and they will provide footpedal and earplugs. They will also provide you a spellcheck if you don't have one. They type in Word and when you complete your report it automatically uploads to thier server.
Addendum
That is you may not get your required lines in only 8 hours, you may need more time than that (depending how the lines are counted etc.) Ask questions and make sure you know all there is to know.
Addendum
Make sure you CYA and email the Help Desk when you run out of work - that gives you an official record.
As an addendum
to my previous reply. Of the people I mentioned that underwent gastric bypass and lap banding, here are the results:
As mentioned, one died. His mom also underwent gastric bypass at the same time. She has since gained the weight back and some.
Then there is a mom and her two daughters. Mom almost died from lap band surgery as gangrene set in. One daughter has to go in every few months of so and have adhesions lasered so she can eat. The other daughter's surgery turned out perfect with no complications.
I have a friend who underwent gastric bypass in March 2007, thinking losing weight would help her rheumatoid arthritis. She has been in and out of the hospital at least a dozen times since. Potassium level dangerously low, no appetite, not eating at all. Yeah, she has lost 80 pounds since March but what a price to pay.
It just seems so risky to me. Yes, I had my surgery scheduled but after my friend died I changed my mind.
Addendum...
If you don't mind sharing where you are that you like that'd be good too ;)
addendum
I meant subq instead of subcutaneous -- I take pride in my work and this was insane. The other thing as well was that a portion of the report on my end was 'garbled' -- QA person said 'you should have understood this i had NO clue as to what the doctor said, but it apparently was some kind of store or whatever. New account for BOTH services -- I knew the geographic location, but did not know the town where this hospital was located etc. Hmm again, maybe my ESP should have come into play.
Addendum
Go into your firewall settings under exceptions and make sure that the boxes are checked that say VPN. I think that may be what I had to do.
Addendum: It would probably take 15 minutes sm
of typing time to do a full page (that's if you can hear all the voices clearly, able to identify them in a snap, etc. So, plan on earning $5 an hour.
Is Addendum the name of a company? Do they have a website?
Addendum to the benefits question.....sm
The other benefits such as PTO and 401K, and anything else I can't think of right now, kick in after 90 days. I forgot about this before.
ADDENDUM: The REAL truth is . .
. . that if some of the posters say the same nasty remarks to a person's face that they do hiding behind a screen name they are MTSO's
ADDENDUM to "late" last night postSM
I have worked as an IC for 10 years or so and the company provides the line count, the MT merely okays the count on the invoice and sends it in. All I have worked for have done it this way. We don't have a say in the count.
THEY provide(have a tally) of the count to the client, so they get paid. SO.... THEY KNOW what is what. You should get paid, 3000 lines is a great deal of money, especially now days.
I would like to learn how this played out. Keep us posted
My post should say the post above not the post below, Sheryl's post to be specific. nm

It's a "fishing" post. Same post a few days ago with numerous errors

You are not allowed to post their link on this site. Post

Read Spherson's post below, who admits, in the post, they do pay it.

Peachy, your post is interesting, but my post now is irrelevent but
A few weeks ago I went to my clinic where they had recently implemented EHR or EMR, whichever you call it, and the doctor's back was to me the whole time he and I conversed because his nose was stuck in his laptop. To me, it felt a little more impersonal, but I understand he was doing what he had to do, but it seems like the bedside manner may go to the wayside if the doctors can't even look at you when they are asking you questions or you are speaking to him/her. I know this is relevant to your original post, but just an interesting fact that I had not anticipated. Anyone else experience this?
This is why I NEVER post my cpl. I'll post the range of
what the company pays, but NEVER what I make. I know that I make more than probably 70% of the people there, because they know I produce a client ready report and that I can do anything they throw at me. We don't have levels, but I guess if we did I'd be at the highest level. Telling how much you make isn't so bad, but when people know what company you work for and then what you make that isn't a good combination. The ONLY people I have ever discussed what I make with, are my husband and my MTSO owner. Talking about your salary/pay is enough to get your fired in lots of companies.

One post was another "run" type of post and the
the recruiter. Once you are in with the company, the recruiter has nothing to do with you or your job. I want specifics about problems with THE JOB, not the recruiter. Specifics such as no or late checks, line counts being messed up, no work, taking bennies away with no explanation. Things that matter, not the recruiter.
everytime you post, where ever you post
unless you go through an anonymizer, your IP address can be traced back to you, even through the guises of this web site. There are web sites you can find on the internet to do this for you, or if you are 18 years old and like to hack, it's an easy enough thing to do.
I post a pay range, DOE; however, most don't post..
I wish some MTs would start thinking about the business aspect of the industry. For example, this is a public site, so go to Google or another search engine and type [the co's name] and per line, and voila! now everyone knows how much you pay your MTs.
Post removed, you can re-post.

Last post
No, after I read a followup yesterday that said there were apologies and answered Michelle, I realized that and someone said to just get back to work and they were right.. even an apology was too much, plus it would look like I was just tagging along after JMO, which is what you are accusing me of now.
I just didn't understand where the posts went, it was odd, and I wanted to reiterate some things (the point I mentioned earlier, about seeing BOTH sides), but I see it really doesn't matter WHAT I say, you've already made up your mind about me and my motivations without even knowing me. Why am I explaining myself to you? I dunno.
It doesn't matter. Good luck to you and don't worry, God will take care of/deal with me, and I ask him to bless you all too.:)
TO POST ABOVE, AT MQ 6 YRS....sm
Would you please e-mail me at jcarros213@aol.com. I "really" need information.
TIA
This post should have gone under OP.

WHY DOES MY POST
On Greenlight Transcription keep getting erased?! 
WHY DOES MY POST??
mine got erased too..I asked a question about eTransPlus and now it's gone???
Above post
Oh my.....I didn't know Wal-Mart had "greaters". I thought they were greeters! I am sure they are hiring though so you should do well there.
Why don't you sign your posts? Are you also the one that said SoftScript is the worst? Wow....there a lot of worsts out there. Guess we will all starve.
Will you post when you do?
Are you a SS transcriptionist? Will you post your acknowledgement of e-mail?
It gives YOU something to post about right?!
What else would you post about?! LOL
I like your post!!
x
To Can't Say: Regarding your post below about
Can you say which recruiter told you that Transcend was buying MQ?
Where did you see this post?
asdf
If you post their name they probably won't get any
resumes. This way they'll probably get a few, but hopefully the MTs will be wise enough to turn them down.
Another good reason not to respond to a blind ad is that it could be the company you are currently working for - or you were working for (LOL).
I appreciate your post...perhaps I used....sm
the wrong word of undercutting, but when I became an MTSO 9+ years ago......a national was charging 13-18 cpl to the client and so I went ONE cent below that, 12 CPL.....and I get the work, have had clients for all this time...and I work for a national part-time....
Thank you for taking the time to type all that....much appreciated!! 
And you might want to post
your message in reply to the correct message. I am not oops.
I have only posted one message in response to this person.
Anyone could post on here and say they are from
Whose to say that poster posing as KS Team Leader or such is not someone specifically out to do KS harm?
For crying out loud, people -- just someone with a mean streak and nothing to do can get on here and cause harm. And the reason they can cause it is because most people on here will believe any post they read.
Now THAT is sad.
sorry about my post above, was
nm
I think they are trying not to post here except
Still doesn't make any sense at all to come to a public forum and ask these kinds of questions.
I'd be reluctant to hire someone who had no more IQ than to do that.
PS: Just saw the post below, anyone do QA for them?

Thank you for this post!
Your post is 100% correct--disgraceful disrespect for the MT whose skill, experience, and expertise keep transcription companies in business! Unbelievable attitude. Thanks for your post--it is 100% right on!
PS to above post, sm
The accounts are teaching hospitals, acute care, and clinics etc. A mix of ESLs and non-ESLs. Not easy unless you really know your stuff, but good accounts. Good luck.
See my post below -
My experience was different but also bad!
