Personally, I would lose money...
on my current account if I were paid per minute of dictation by more than 50%. It really depends on the dictators, and I guess you wouldn't know their style until you actually starting transcribing for them.
I personally make plenty of money to have this
I don't even own the book. I've been in the business 18 years. I still think if you're charging for a test on income, then fair is fair. Make it available to everyone at a substandard fee who is low income. I personally am not low income, and I wouldn't take the test if it was free. My mindset is I make and make and I know what I know because I have proved that to my clients over and over and time and time again!! I guess that's why there are actual physicians asking me to transcribe their work, but I must turn them down because I'm too busy. I am laughing  all of the way to the bank (and back). 
YOG - Lots of work, great office staff, great money. NM

Great company, great boss, great account!!!nm

What is great money to you may not be to all.
8 cpl is not a whole lot. Can you average a whole lot of lines per hour on their typing program?
Your money is not that great
Do you think you are all high and mighty all of a sudden because you told us what you make? Do you think the rest of us here are unemployed losers? Several MTs make that and more, including myself. Get over youself and your average MT salary. How much you made last year isn't the point and you are continuing to make a fool of yourself. The point is we want to continue to make money. Quit digging yourself a deeper hole and quit trying to justify your pathetic point of view. Yawn!
I get paid great money being an MT - sm
If you aren't happy with where you are, look elsewhere or get your own accounts. There IS money to be made; keep looking.
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.
Just put some money away in your own savings account (sm)
and then if we ever get organized we can strike. Everyone would have their own funds and would not have to worry about who is getting what or whether someone would take off with the funds.
Okay what is great money? $2000-3000 a PP
TIA
I would rather work on 1 account and make more money, than 5 different ones! No thanks. sm
I think their new program absolutely sucks and there are a heck of a lot of people who say the sound quality is horrendous. I wasn't sticking around to find out. I made my decision as soon as I saw what it was about and knew it would slow me way down. Hey, to each their own. If you like it, fine. I am happy about my decision and glad I did it.
I work at DDS and love it. Make great money!
Doing great! Made more money in one week at TT than I did in a whole month
at previous job!
I am on a new account, doing work types I cant make money on. nm

I recommend Keystrokes too. I make great money, have a lot of work and have sm
been around the block a time or two.
I have worked for them for 6 months but had worked for them previously (in 2003). I left for several reasons but all of them have been resolved. I think a big part of the improvement is due to direct deposit and the office. When I worked for them before, the owner ran things from her home office but now there is an office that has a lot (not sure how many) people in it and I can get answers and help quickly when I need it.
I think that they had some growing pains but resolved them. I know that they are still growing, even faster than ever from what my lead tells me. If you have a lot of hospital experience, they are hiring for two new accounts and need good MTs.
Make great money with EditScript - it will learn the formatting
x
1200 lines daily is great if you have the work, personally, I never had enough work so
I left and have NEVER been sorry!
Personally, DSG is a good fit for me. Pay is good and on time, sound quality depends on the account
and I like the platform. There is not much weekend work, although sometimes is available. I get along well with the management, no major complaints. There is pay incentive once you get over a certain number of lines in a pay period. I work as an IC, so can't help with benefits, insurance questions, etc.
My account went to India, have been struggling to make any money for the last month, crappy work. nm

Yes that was the account I was on and it was GREAT account...sm
So if they are going to mess several things up: 1) Pay for their employees, 2) Losing a big account like that one, 3) Hiring supervisors that just wanted to chit-chat and lose production then I would think that is NOT a company to go for. But I had to learn it the hard way - having my payday be weeks late during Christmastime. But I gave them the benefit of the doubt for 2 more paydays - they were late also....
I'm on a great account that is always busy - sm
It is a hospital in Maryland and has very easy docs. If you get hired, maybe they will put you on that hospital account. Super duper easy. Very few ESLs. I am making my line count is 5-6 hours and I have been on the account for 10 months.
The account isn't so great, but DocQscribe is the best. nm
Sounds like you have a great VR account
but very demanding management. Just like you wouldn't work for companies where the VR is really bad, I wouldn't work for a company that demanded I not erase and retype. They're already cutting my pay...I'm not going to stand for them telling me I need to lose more money by doing it their way only, especially if the end product is the exact same.
They may be hiring for a large ESL account still. Great
company. They provide all equipment/software. Pay for downtime. QA pretty strict, just maintain minimum score of 98.5, 1200 lpd/12,000 per pay period. DD, on-time. Insurance starts the first day of the month after you start, very reasonable premiums.
working that account and it is great! So far I have no complaints. nm

Hmmm...wonder what account you are on..my QA is great..what was wrong, which report,what I put and
 what it should have been. I've no complaints at all about this company. The account is picky but that is not Amphion, that is their client. Besides, that what I get paid to do. To each their own I guess.
Sorry to hear that because that was a good account with great normals. Hope
you find a new home where you will be appreciated and with good line counts!
I miss YOG also! Good company, great line rate, and awesome account.

I find the sound quality not so great on some accounts. I guess it depends on what account you get
on.
QT gets my vote! I love it! Gross line pay, on time, 1 account, steady work! Great place!!!! nm

Amherst so we make less money and they get more money for MQ and bigger bonuses. Our guidelines came
from Amherst.
The company takes the money out of your salary, before they cut the check. It is your earned money,
:+
It's about "money, money, money, mmmoonnney. Singing The Apprentice song.

Webmedx fits that bill, great company, great benefits, great pay and always on time. NM
,
yep, gotta spend money to make money. NM
.
So does yours. Perhaps you need a basic money class to learn to keep money. sm
I am off today and appalled at reading the posts on here.
Are you always this bitter? Do you have a family and friends who are safe and healthy? Count your blessings instead of being so angry and you might see that this is not a bad field to be in. It has kept food on my table for 27 years and will continue to do so. Is it harder now? You bet, but it is not impossible to make a good living of $50,000. You just have to work hard, give it your all and appreciate the good companies that are out there.
If I were an MTSO, I would find out who all these people posting such bitter posts are and find replacements for them a.s.a.p. Negativity spreads like poison, and with the world in the state it is, we should bond together not make it worse.
Money is not the root of all evil, the LOVE of money is. nm

That account in Texas was not a MQ account. They did not use DQS on that account until KS started.
They are moving 3 other accounts to DQS between now and January 1st. I asked. The MQ accounts they have gotten in the past did not go to DQS. I followed my old account, which is how I know, and it was Meditech. The account is still run by KS and is a big account too.
Personally...
I think it's thoughtful in a way. Maybe your supervisor is just trying, in her own way, to make her MTs feel less isolated. Might not be the way you'd choose, but I'd take this sort of supervisor over one that ignores me any day!
Personally, I liked it better when it was
a small company. I'm not excited about all the tiers of management that have been added, makes you feel more like you are just a number rather than someone who is making a difference. Some of the team leaders are good, some are not so good, some are there to collect a pay check. Pay is every other Friday, without fail. As far as the programs to work on, there are several, just depends on what you like.
They KNOW THE LAW. I know personally I sent it to
them enough as well as others. They just do not want to abide by it.
Personally
I don't think some of these schools really care if their students gets a job or not; they are just in it for the money. I had a situation where my stepdaughter had a friend who took a course and wanted me to tell her where she could work. I had no answer. The school SHOULD have had some ideas, but a lot just don't care.
personally, i don't think they
overhire. I think it is a combination of short turnaround times, and work flow variations mainly, with maybe a few other factors thrown in for good measure...
also i believe that they (and rightfully so) hire a few more than needed as all of the new hires never stay. The ones that do are transitioned in slowly and then generally i believe (as with myself) get plenty of work. and they will work with account changes until you are happy. but obviously that doesn't work for everyone. i'm sorry it was a bad experience for you, but it has/still is an excellent one for me! wishing you well...
Don't take it personally
The QA people don't know you other than how they see your work. They can't possibly like you or dislike you. I have found that most people who are very busy (I have been one of them) when they are sending e mails or messages along those lines, just don't have the time to pretty it up. When you don't hear tonal inflections from someone speaking it's very hard to interpret how a statement is truly intended. It's also very easy to take something in a way that it was not intended at all.
Ignore the perceived tone and focus on the content. Keep every e mail as backup. Make the corrections that they want you to make. Now if they are being contradictory with themselves, that's one thing, but if they're just being picky . . . . . that's their job.
Just keep at it, don't take personally
Have you ever noticed how many hits (viewed) listed on each job posting? So say 500 or more and allll emailed a resume and only 1 position AND, say they stopped reading resumes after one or two and hired. See? Just keep emailing your resume, even go to the old listing and email. It is not costing anything, not a stamp etc. Just check both main job posting areas MTjobs and MTstars. Look to see if you can add or subtract something on your resume. Make the Font heading a bit larger.
Personally, I would not take it
I make way more than that now, but it the other things it offers meet your needs, go for it. Insurance isn't cheap to buy on your own, and that would be an attractive part of the deal. I personally couldn't handle the $13.50 an hour, but that's just me. Maybe the advantages outweigh the low salary? Do what is best for YOU.
personally, not really,
I am honored to have a job that others think sounds great. well, I guess I do get irritated if they think it sounds too easy, but whenever I've let someone listen to a few sentences of dictation, they get a whole new perspective!!
Why take it so personally? No one
wants to listen to YOUR ignorance, either. Maybe you should also stay in the seat that's best suited to you, and you know which one that is.
You are you to constantly insult MTs here? This board is for MTs, which you are not, otherwise you wouldn't lose your drawers everytime someone posts something you don't agree with, HMMMMMM???
I don't personally know anyone s/m
who works on escription, they all seem to work on different platforms and some of the things they tell me they correct just blows my mind. Most of them seem to have to put in headings or take them out and correct the numbering patterns in addition to making all kinds of really STUPID corrections. Here is a good example one of my friends sent me this morning:
VR: He will be given deep gentleman hospitalization.
Dictated: He will be given Epogen during the hospitalization.
So from what you say, I would say that it won't be long until MTs are really obsolete.
System great, pay good, everything great, but most managers from old Edix, problems, poor people ski
when you are out of work, you are out of luck. If you are good at brown-nosing, are tough enough to be without any self-esteem, and have maybe money coming into the household on the side in case you tick someone off, then you may succeed, for a little while.
Don't ever ask questions or have problems with anything. Don't ever have a problem. Don't think you will have any control over anything you do, either.
A few 'good' managers remained when I left, but the new ones were all from the old Edix, and were completely into numbers, cared nothing for individual MTs...if there is work, you BETTER be working. If there no work, you will hear nothing, no one will help you.
You are pathetic! I have a great life, loving family, work for a great company.
You might want to fix that.
You really don't have to shout (angry person), but yes you are wrong!!
That is my last word to you!
I will add that getting a great pay check every other Friday from Medware really puts a huge smile on my face.
