The ad says there are 25 lines per page. If you divide 1.25 by 25, you'd be making 0.05 per line. I don't think that is reasonable even if the voice system is very audible.

Inquiring about your job
Do you make more than $20.00 per hour at your new job, what where you making when you left transcription, were you doing VR or straight?
Inquiring about ALL TYPE INC sm
Was wondering if anyone had good or bad comments regarding this company? Would sure appreciate feedback either way ASAP as I am considering applying. If possible, please put "all type" in subject line if emailing me. TIA
You are inquiring about MedScribe
and yes, they have the 12-hour window for acute care MTs however that is for full-time positions only, not for part time. Hope that helps.
inquiring minds want to know.
Does anyone know anything about Transform?
To the MTSOs inquiring on this thread...
I wouldn't worry about what these negative posts say, for many reasons:
... It could easily be just 1 or 2 people who have a bee in their bonnet today; no one knows the true number of posters here
... It could easily be people who are not even MTs but friends/families of MTs or just bored poots looking to cause trouble
... No one, hear me, no one makes any MT work for any company. They are free to leave, are they not?
... I have not had the experiences with MTSOs that these people are talking about; in fact, quite the opposite so I think this is just a group who are probably not even mediocre at this
... Not one of these posters knows what it takes to run an MT business. I do. I had one and it was very successful. They don't know the incredible competition out there. They don't want the full responsibility.
... They are not willing to sign their God-given name to anything. They come here in absolute cowardice and sling their words around but if you ask them to pony up facts and ask who they are talking about and their own ID...nadda. Nadda.
I've done this work a long time, MTSOs. I've even been one. There are always going to be a few low-barrel companies but every line of work has that. For the most part, I see MTSOs on the up-and-up, offering good pay for good work. If an MT is an excellent worker (i.e., keeps the schedule, does the production and has the quality), most MTSOs will do what it takes to keep them.
... Everyone has a price and theirs is too high, in my opinion.
Now, all the naysayers can fire away. Said my opinion. :)
There is nothing wrong with inquiring here for information on a company. sm
A lot of useful information is exchanged here regarding other MT's experiences.
Fast Chart, TAe software? Inquiring MT needs to know......
I am thinking about signing on with them, but need to know exactly what TAe software is? More specifically, I am hoping that it does not ruin my Windows XP and my MS Word 2002 already in my computer. My understanding is that it is a stand-alone software, maybe proprietary? It is made by Arrendale Associates is all I really know. Is is user-friendly?
Thanks for any information on this.
I would call or drop an email inquiring.

Inquiring minds are a terrible thing to waste so here
For inquiring minds, I do not think any of the following information is confidential, since it is on the court website for anyone to look at, but I found it fascinating and think some of you may also.
The Transtech case has been transferred to Federal Court, US District Court in Texas, because of two or more different states being involved (TT is in Texas, Defendant is in another state, and the five Jane Does can be anywhere in the world).
This information can be publically obtained on the Federal Court Website – PACER.
While I was there, I checked out some of the other Libel/Slander cases that had Closed or Settled to see what the timeline was and how they were settled. They ranged anywhere from 3 to 6 months, from date of filing with the Federal Court to date of closure.
I found it curious that on most other filings where the Defendant was not known, they used JOHN Doe, but TT used JANE Doe, assuming that everyone who posted on the MTStars was a female. Or maybe, all TT hires are females?
There were two other cases that really interested me.
One was for a Travelscream Technologies who filed suit against John Doe, Defendant. It was filed on 10-15-2008 and closed on 01-20-2009. They were asking $100 million against John Doe because of comments posted on two website. Apparently John Doe posted: (1) Tranvelscream is just the latest scam by a group of con artists… (3) Beware of Traveloscream.
The Plaintiff had to DISMISS the case because THEY COULD NOT FIND OUT WHO JOHN DOE WAS!!!!!
But left it open to refile if they could ever identify the person.
The other was for a Beauty Signature Group who filed suit against another company. The complaint was not on file so I could not read what the allegations where. The suit was filed on 04-16-2008 and was Settled on 08-12-2008. Again, the Settlement papers were not filed, so I do not know what the outcome was, but some of the other cases only wanted retractions and no more posting of remarks by the Defendants, so there may not have been any actual money involved, except for court costs, etc.
So, this could all be over by Christmas.
just got offered a job
Does anyone work or have any info on Wordzxpressed? I have been offered a job and want some feedback. I have been in an office job since Nov and want to go back to at home transcription but don't want to get burned!!!!
Thanks
Same here right now, because OT is offered
PLUS it is the end of the pay period when all the end-of-pay-period MT's decide to get on and take away all the work -- they have been resting for 2 weeks and can work all day and night and get their lines in. YUK !
I was just offered a job...
Pay rate is starting at 8 cpl for an IC. After 90 days you get 8.5 if you have good quality. They use "Winspread" (not sure of the spelling). Have been in business for 3 years. Have direct deposit.
They offered me 8.5 cpl.
nm
Don't know about the others, but I was offered
a position. I have 20 years' experience in acute care, very good at ESLs. They offered me 8 cpl with the potential to make big bonuses - but that means I'll have to work extra and it just isn't worth it to me and there is no guarantee anyway.
When I asked if they offshored the HR person was hesitant but said they do if the client requests it.
The person I talked with a Cymed was evidently just HR and didn't even know what I was talking about most of the time when I asked questions about platform, line counting, etc.
I was offered a job with them...sm
but did not accept it. It seemed like their pay per lines were a little low. Plus, after extensive conversations with them, I felt that they had REALLY high expectations for the pay that was being offered. Unsure though because I never accepted the job after it was offered. Hope you find out the answers that you are looking for.
When I get offered anything less than..
9 cents, I tell them right out that is low and ask if they can do better. Sometimes it works!
I just got offered 6 cpl as an IC with my
10 years of experience. That was just laughable!
Don't know much about them except what they offered me
They offered me 0.085 and then up to 0.09 once off 100% QA.
Not so. I was offered a job with them not
long age. They supply all equipment and if you have an additional phone line, they will reimburse you for that.
what do you mean - should be offered?
It is offered and available dependent upon what option you choose employee versus statutory versus IC. Do not run out of work - pay is on time/direct deposit and they communicate with you - what else do you want?
Just offered 8.5 cpl (sm)
They have very good benefits, and good bonuses for O.T. and when work is out of TAT. Is this an average rate? I know a lot of you ICs make a lot more, but what about with the benefits and bonuses. Is it bad? They have a good platform - ExText, and the company I am at has horrible, user hostile software. help, please
I would take something else if offered
It wasn't for me - good training grounds maybe - hard to make decent money - at least IMHO
In looking at ads, 3.5 to 4 cpl seems to be what's offered most. nm
s
Then what happens is you are offered
a job by that outsourcing company because you know the account, but most likely as an IC with no benefits for a year, etc., etc. So there are hospital jobs few and far between that will stay in-house. Eventually they all want to save a buck.
I was offered 7 cpl
I believe you. I was offered 7 cpl by Transcription Relief Services for over 20 years experience. 
Just offered a job
with TransHealth and was told that insurance starts on the first of the month after 60 days of employment.
...is what's offered. nm
s
Offered
Yes - the original post offered only 7cpl. The accounts we inherited are paying only 8cpl. That 1 cent margin barely pays our very limited overhead. As we bring in new accounts we are quoting more realistic rates and paying our MTs accordingly.
We have some great MTs on our team - all with us because they know we'll always treat them like people, and not like a number.
We're open with them about where we stand, and they appreciate us not giving them a load of %$#% and promises, but the real bottom lines.

I also just got offered at job at 8 cpl
They told me that after 90 days you get a review and increase in your pay depending on how you do.
I was offered 9.5 cpl and they also
seem to offer a lot of incentives - almost every weekend - 1 cpl - no minimum required. That doesn't sound bad to me considering what MQ pays me after 10 years of service - a whopping 7.75 cpl and only 70% of that for ASR.
i was offered
recently too. does anyone on here have anything good to say about them?
TTS offered me 6.5 cpl
NM
6 cpl was never offered to anyone!
I don't have a clue where that came from!!!!
Yes, it was offered to me. I can even tell you the
Your name wasn't on the email, so I wouldn't expect you to know. Her name started with a J.
Sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction.
I was offered a job with them
in November and told I would be contacted about training. I did not hear from them until early January and training was scheduled for the end of January. I had to move on, I can't wait indefinately to make money to pay my bills or feed my family. Just my experience with the Focus training wait time. Have they told you yet that you will have a 700 or so minute long distance bill with them during that training? Just wait, eventually they will. I was afraid those long distance minutes would be minutes to India, which would be too expensive for me.
They pay me better than anyone else has ever offered.
When I was checking around for jobs, no one wanted to pay more than 8.5 for standard typing and 4 cpl for editing. I get paid way better than that. So, maybe I have missed something.
I was offered the same 7.5 cpl with s/m
4 years of Acute Care and OP experience, after telling them my line count averaged out to 190 lph with heavy ESLs. I also made a 98% on their online test, so I don't think experience counts much with them. They did tell me that after I got off QA they would give me the .09 that I am making now, but wouldn't put in the offer letter in writing, so I told them to take a hike. I think they are a big scam.
I even offered...
...to take up a collection amongst the MTs to get him a tube of Petromalt (feline hairball remedy that makes it easier for the kitty to hack it on up). While my manager found the suggestion extremely humorous, she didn't think the dictator would see the humor in it.
:-)
once again OT offered
totally with you on this. I have not had a full pay since last year. account specifics always changing and definitely overhiring. I was switched to another account because of low work only to find out it was another overflow account. No one watches the OT. its all about how to make them look good and get everything in TAT. someone needs to watch the TAT and once it there, cut off the OT.
did what you did... got offered
highest at 7.5 with MD-IT. Turned them down.
Offered a job at KS...
...and now after reading some of the posts, I'm afraid to accept it. I can't afford to run out of work.
yes she offered to pay me
but I said that was not necessary - I would just chalk it up to a learning experience. I spoke with her a couple of times on the phone and seemed very nice, but thought a bit unreasonable not to allow a learning curve, seemed to want someone who could jump in without ever hearing this doctor before and get it perfect. It was a nuerosurgery doctor as well. You have much more experience, so may work for you. It did sound very flexible.
I probably will if offered sm
a job. They received my test yesterday and said they would let me know as soon as they checked it. I kind of figure, like every place else, it may depend on the account you are working on.. One person says the sound quality is good another says its bad. The only reason I am asking waterbaby is because I don't want to jump into something that I know is bad from the start. What was bad years ago could be good now. I don't start jobs to check them out I stick with them and work out the bugs!
OMG she offered 1 cpl sm
for transcription and not VR (which is unbelievable either way) I sure would love to know what idiot company this is! I cannot believe anyone would be so rude and crude as to send a note back like that! What does she pay after 30 days, 2cpl? We all have to take concessions but that is an insult and I hope that business folds!
I was offered $1....
I was offered $1 per line radiology job about 1 month ago. I have not looked at the job posts on MTStars lately, so I am not sure if it could be the same place? If I had known that was what the job was going to pay, I would have never applied. I have been transcribing radiology for about 12 years now (20+ years total MT) and cannot see any feasible way of making money on radiology being paid by the MINUTE. Someone would have to pay me about $10 per minute....then I might possibly, under pressure, CONSIDER it. That is RIDICULOUS!!!
I was offered that as well...
I could not believe my ears. You did amazing on the test, we would like to offer you a position for 7 cpl. WHAT????? Did you just say that??????
I make 10 cpl now. Are you CRAZY????? Ok, ummmm, NO! Bye.
I was offered
9 cpl to start with 11 years' experience. (I suppose you are not supposed to know this, but what the heck.) It's a 65-character line which includes characters, punctuation and spaces. Platform I use is Bayscribe, might be others on other accounts, not sure. I forget the exact requirements for weekend work, but they do want you to do some. You post a schedule every two months, committing to daily line production (minimum 750 part-time, 1200 full-time.) However, you have a 24-hour period to get your lines in, so the hours you work are up to you as long as you produce the number you agree to. Need a day off? Just schedule yourself for it. Always plenty of opportunity for extra work over what you have committed to. They are always sending e-mails asking you to jump on and help.
Some accounts are going to VR and the rumor is that it pays only 3 cpl (which I think stinks) but I cannot confirm this because apparently you are told only when your particular account is scheduled to switch. See below other posts about hiring procedure, I think there are several below about testing, QA period, etc. All things considered, after a year, I am still pretty happy.
better than what I got offered
8 cpl for IC, no thank you.
