Is it hard to get lines in.
or is it just me. I have been typing all day and only have 300 lines. I am using their Merit system. At my other job, usually after 4 hours I have 500 to 600 lines. Maybe I am just not used to their plateform yet. Good thing I am still on hourly. I would starve to death if I were on line count. 
It is hard to get lines anyway, but....
It is easier for a company to manipulate lines if you have to go to the Dicataphone web site you get your bulk lines, with reports not broken down, i.e., 1000 lines, 25 reports. At least if you can verify you have 25 reports on their line counter and what you wrote down, you can always copy your reports from Ex-Text (it is word based), go into your Word (outside of Ex-Text) and verify the line counts, maybe spot check them, or you can ask your trainer how to check the line count after you have finished it and click on the doctor or the patient, it gives the line count for that job. (to me a lot of wasted time but it is a way to verify). I'm sorry, I do not trust a company who will not let you verify the # of reports with the amount of lines you have done. What if 2 to 3 reports are dropped? You have no way of telling them that report did not show up on your line count. That means your WORKED FREE, and they got the total line count, or someone else redid your report.
I found if I had to go the Dictaphone web site to get my conglomerate line count for the day, at the end of the pay period and I got my check I was usually shocked, it was way lower than if I can go into Sessions, the same screen you click on to go into the demographics. There is shows how many reports (the # of reports for that specific time and the line count) you have done and the total lines and it is quick.
There must be a reason some companies don't use it and I think it is because they know you can't verify how many reports you have done. To me that is dishonest with a capital D.
You will find with most companies using Ex-Text that Sessions is blocked for your use, thus, you cannot get the # of reports you have done in a day.
Hard to make lines

I found it hard to get lines with them. It might of
been their line counting system or the typing program they used. But it didn't feel like it was counting right. I started at 9 cpl with 8 years experience. But otherwise, they paid on time.
It would be hard to come up with 2 lines worth of headers..nm

EDMAT is very hard to make lines.

Agree, lines are hard to get. I also think the sound quality doesnt help things. nm

Same here. Too much fuzz and static on the lines. Redid the hard drive, new phones, new sound card,

They work with you to make sure you get the lines required or the amount of lines you want...
I have never had a problem getting more work
I am sure they work extremely hard, lol.
They are used to that from setting up their dirt houses and what not. They are used to working hard trying to fight for food scraps.
Employees that work hard
I am sure that this may be the case in some instances, but to lump sum all MTs/editors/employees is not fair and accurate. I am a very hard working employee. I work 7 days/nights/weekends every week. I work and volunteer for ALL holidays even when not scheduled and I worked WHENEVER I was asked to work extra to cover for vacations or sickness. I have not complained, I have always been SO thankful to have my job. What did that result in? Well, let me tell you. I am now one of the Heartland Information Services laid off employees!!!! It did not matter in the end how many hours/days/nights/weekends/holidays that I worked, I am no longer employed by the company I had planned to retire from!! My loyality was betrayed and I am just supposed to keep going on and being loyal again? Think about that one! Respect and loyalty is a two way street. Treat the employees how they want to be treated and you will be treated with respect and loyalty as well. It cannot be low pay, minimal benefits and lay offs at a drop of a hat and in return expect absolute loyalty from employees. We have to work together in the end.
I work very hard, usually 7 days a week.
I work any hours needed. What is my reward? I get stuck on the garbage accounts, the ones who bellyache get the easy accounts and get put on steady accounts. I think I have learned 8 new accounts in the last 2 months, and none of them were decent accounts. My line count is good, but would be wonderful if I ever had an account I could get used to. These companies beat you up and then throw you to the dogs.
The scum that plays kiss-$$$ get paid more, take off when they want, and get choice of days off, holidays, so they can be with their ill-behaved brats whenever they want to be.
Don't tell me about ethics, tell the MTSOs they need to improve their ethics and then then they could have decent employees.
TT is a great place to work for. It is not that hard to
reach and maintain a decent line count. Incentives are fair and not to hard to reach. ExText is the best platform, at least in my 18 year experience. Great people, tons of work and the ESL percentage is about 20-25%.
I make that much $ too but i work very hard. Its possible, not easy.

Because you keep thinking things will get better with hard work, not always.

You'll work twice as hard to get half as much, it seems

Hard to get work, but feedback really great.
Wish there was so much work I could be off DQA in time, and pay the bills, it would be so wonderful! How are you doing.. Hope you are hanging in! :)
when you say "for those that work hard," what precisely do you mean? sm
Please elaborate. I'm assuming at the very least, 8 hrs/d, or more like 10 hr/d? 12 days? ??!! Ridiculous.
Or perhaps, 72 hrs/pp?
NO~thing has changed since this past
Inline Attachment i.e. Please Sir. May I please have more work. LMAOOO. Nice post crazyMT. STILL, to this very day, gives me chuckles. The only constant in this business..||\

Why is it hard to produce quality work?
You are either good at your job or not. If not, then find another line of work. If you don't think you are paid enough to take the time to produce quality work, then find another company to work for.
I find it very hard to believe that all work types are on a 1-hour TAT(sm)
Are you talking about stats or everything? Do you have this 1-hour TAT in writing? I've never even heard of hospitals being on that tight a TAT.
Life is about choices. Nobody forces her to work so hard and
put in so many hours that she's hiring people and ignoring them. I don't agree with that, no matter what the excuse is. We're all busy people. We all have lives. That doesn't mean you have the right to mess with people's income and careers. Employees or ICs aren't just disposable commodities that you toss aside on a whim. It's called RESPECT for your fellow humans.
When there is a lot of work, do you find it hard to make 1100?
cause I sure do.

Not a good company. Their pay is low and software hard to work with sm
although now they say DocQScribe which means they have picked up MQ accounts like other companies. I would stay away.

Very nice but hard to get line count due to lack of work...nm

Just marry a guy who has a great income, that was my solution, who wants to work that hard!!

1200 lines daily is great if you have the work, personally, I never had enough work so
I left and have NEVER been sorry!
If getting paid regularly for your hard work is important to you, find another company. nm

But a 'Thanks for Your Hard Work' email wouldn't cost them a penny :-(
It's not even about a gift, really. It's just more about the lack of acknowledgement in general.
I'm sure a lot of MTs, not just MDI people, are feeling a bit disillusioned and unappreciated this week.
NO WORK at Transtech -- did no good to work the holiday for 1.5 lines, did it?
I am sure the office staff will share their PAID HOLIDAY MONIES with us who sit here with no work. This has gotten to be such a frustrating profession. I guess I need to relocate to Houston so that I can work in the office, too, and reap those wonderful paid benefits that us at-home piecemeal workers do not get.
I used to work for Precyse and...
they are a good company. They weren't for me because I am used to working my own schedule. They require you to work specific hours (usually you can choose them) and I just couldn't do it with 2 small kids. (If something comes up you can e-mail them and make up the time later.)
They provide all equipment. Their QA staff is really great - positive and helpful. You will most of the time get your QA stuff back within a few hours - always within 24 hours. Their platform is easy to use. I worked on quite a few accounts while I was there and they were all pretty decent. One had some crummy ESLs as the majority, but I didn't work on it much so can't say if it would have gotten better with time and adjustment on my part. (I usually adjust just fine to ESLs - these were mumblers as well)
They do have good benefits and you can accumulate PTO, which you can use at any time you wish - all or part of it. So if you just need extra money one pay period, you can ask them to add it on. You can also check your balance of PTO at any time. Also, they have direct deposit and pay is always on-time - without exception. They also mail you your stub and it always came exactly on time. Also, the payroll person is very accessible for any questions, etc. She even sent an e-mail out to us once because the paystubs (direct deposit was already in the bank) were late and she wanted to apologize - she had used a different post office.
The other thing that was a drawback for me, but you may not mind, is they do send out a lot of e-mails with account updates, asking for help, etc. That's not so bad but it was 3-4 time daily thing and they started getting to me. However, they do also offer bonuses quite regularly and other incentives too. They do believe in motivation and recognition for those that go the extra mile.
Also, they do quarterly reviews and do value quality work.
They are a good company overall. I know you will see various opinions on this board about them, but the only 2 negatives for me were as above - the e-mails and the set hours. Honestly, though, if it weren't that I was so bogged down with my children's schedules, I would have stayed with them. If you can handle those things, then the positives outweigh the negatives.
I work for Precyse
I have worked for Edix and Medquist in the past and Precyse is definitely a cut above those 2. It is a smaller company, but they are very good to work for and ....get this....they actually value their MTs! They don't call you MTs or staff, but colleagues. Everyone is respected equally here. I have owned my own business and have worked for the other large nationals listed above, and feel that I have found my home. I think you will be very pleased with Precyse. Their platform is web based, called Correct Type (Precyse calls it PrecyseType, but it is the same web-based program we used at MQ). Very user friendly. Staff of Precyse is excellent. It is not an easy company to get a job with, so if you have been offered a position, go for it! I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
Precyse - no work
Is this typical? I have only 2 accounts and never have enough work. I have asked twice for an extra account with no response back. Their TAT seems very quick so I'm wondering if they over-hire so they meet TAT and we sit here with nothing to do. Haven't been here even a month but certainly can't afford this.
I am wondering if employees with Futurenet have a hard time having adequate work flow..sm
Just started there not too long ago, but now finding out I am running out of work frequently. I have several accounts that I can work on, but all are empty most of the time. Have they overhired or is this the normal?
I *do* work at Precyse and most of the work is going to India
Is there consistent work at MDI-Fl, Precyse, or

Is there always lots of work at Precyse? Do they do

Anybody work for Precyse Solutions?
Any feedback from their employees or ex-employees would be appreciated. Thanks.
Webmedx - low work ? Can you make up lines when work available (sm)
or do you have to schedule a make up time or just do without the lines?
If you work for Precyse now, try calling the help desk, if not sm...
If you're not with Precyse now, you work on one of their PCs with everything already loaded. My best guess would be to say "no, you can't use a laptop", but I never had to use one, so don't quote me on that.
Hope this helps some
