Her first name is not even Linda...
Her first name is NOT Linda, so could it be possible that the rest of your post is not credible either? You should, at the very least, get the facts correct before you post things, especially if they can ruin a person's reputation. I found the owner to be very accommodating and easy to work with, and as I said in my first post, I was paid in full. I left on very good terms and would not hesitate to work with her again in the future.
Hi Linda
Thank you for replying to my post. I would love to get some additional information regarding this company, if you would be willing to email me? I am curious as to benefits (I noticed that they are available to FT IC's), pay scale, etc. Thank you again for your help!
Thanks, Linda s/m
Yep, the gourd is still around. No plans to change my moniker. I've been around a long time going back to the days when clerk/typists were the medical transcriptionists using the old manual typewriters, you know, the ones where you had to fling the carriage return at the end of every line? How great it was when the electric typewriters came into being. LOL
Linda, don't worry about the VR.
 Linda, don't worry about how long it takes you to learn the shortcut keys in VR. You are doing great at just a few weeks into it. It will take time for the speed to build up. I have been doing MT work for 5 years, VR for 4 of those years and I love it. I kow there are some negative posts on this forum about VR, but it has allowed me to keep working as an MT even though I had so much pain with carpal tunnel syndrome. I routinely do 350-400 lph on DP ExText Turbo Speech and some MTs at my company do much higher than that. I see only positives in doing VR for someone like me, since I am no spring chicken.
Hang in there and give it more time; it will get MUCH easier and you will get fast very quickly.

Linda got the "coffee" notion from me.
I was responding on a thread about 3 cents a line pay, suggesting that that rate might do quite well on an account with a good proportion of fairly clean reports coming through. I used to work on a couple of those, and the best reports were scary good--virtually no changes made. Some required few, most required some, and some required more than some. If you know what I mean. :)
I should, however, have gone on with the perspective that my company currently pays me over 7 cents a line because even the relatively good reports on these accounts require a great deal of cleanup. To put it mildly, what is an appropriate line rate for this work depends on the amount of editing needed.
Linda, you'll get still better, of course, but you seem to be on the right track in evaluating whether VR system + accounts +line rate equal a satisfactory bottom line.
BTW, sipping coffee (or eating dinner as someone else does) at 3 cents a line means you're scanning those reports intensely, full attention, as fast as you can manage. I definitely like it better than typing docs, but even on the best accounts it IS real work, with brain hard at the shoveling while fingers stand around holding the wheelbarrow.
Linda, you are soooo right, when I was younger and dumber....sm
I was sooo afraid of using shortcuts, I watched the screen like a hawk and typed everything verbatim and screwed myself out of so much money! I wondered what the secret was to all those MTs who would chat up a storm, and till make a higher line count than me, and they had less experience....They used their shortcuts/expanders for everything, and once I learned this and worked on mine, my line count zoomed and I consistently made high incentive pay and bonus....don't underestimate this tool. Thanks for bringing this up, Linda! 
Has anyone worked with Linda Kelley of TTS/Medware & can you tell me about your experience, please?
