But I do not discourage others from trying the profession.  I do mention that schooling is a must and to watch out for scams.  I do tell them that I've worked 25 years to get where I am today and that it is easy for me and yes I do have it made.  It is much easier to transcribe from home as an IC at this point than to be everyone's fill-in at an on-site facility.  When my work got backed up, no one could help.

Mothers ask about this profession because almost everyone in society including 5 year olds are computer literate.  It wasn't alway that way, but I never would tell someone they are asking stupid questions. 

I actually like to talk about my work, but they usually lose interest after I start explaining how I get the work and the fact that I don't really work a set schedule and that there is ebb and flow; hence, your salary can go up and down...  blah, blah, blah....  It starts sounding like the adults talking on an episode of Charlie Brown...  wonk wonk wonk....   

P/S:  My SIL decided she wanted to be an MT, went to school for 4 years, landed a job in a hospital and quit b/c it was too hard....  GO FIGURE! 

It comes with lots of symbols which can be disengaged because I think they are distracting.  I mainly just use CTRL plus the arrow keys  to maneuver through the report.  If you have a good dictator, you are basically just reading the report.  If you have a bad one, there are more corrections to be made then.  All in all, it is as easy to get through as the DocQScribe ASR I used to work on when I was with MQ.

Personally, I like voice because it gives my hands and arms a break.  If you have good dictators, then you can make some money.  I think this is true for those of us who are not real fast typists to begin with.  I can see the problem with those who have mastered making abbreviations and who are fast typists.  They are probably slowed down with voice, whereas I am able to make better lines with it, if given good dictators. 

My best to you.

very very helpful and will figure it out

Hello,

You have an interesting name, something like HappyWithoutPS?  Anyway, I see you know a lot about Precyse, the true straight skinny, eh?  That's what I wanted to know about.

Do you mind telling me what company you are now working for?  Do you like it?  I am looking for a good one.  Thanks.

Linda D.

You need to talk to HR, because I do believe the other poster is incorrect when she says that most companies pay in full for one employee.  Rarely does anyone do that any more.  When a company advertises paid insurance, they are probably meaning that a portion of it is paid and not the entire premium.

Some employers pay more of the premium than others do - it depends on how generous your employer is.

I read some posts below about Transcend that were disturbing to me.  I work at Transcend and I love it very much.  Being an employee at Transcend, I have access to the forum for all employees there.  I have not found one thread on there that supports for one second what the unhappy ex-Transcender was saying. 

My question is this, however, what if  high producers are treated differently than others? They are kind of like the employee who is always at work, on time, positive attitude versus the employee who calls off, is undependable, bad attitude.  Which one do you think would get better treatment?  That is pretty much a no brainer if you ask me!  There are also those MTs who are great employees and do the basic line count required of them.  They receive the basic pay that they were offered.  What is so wrong with that?  That is the effort they put into it.

I will say exactly what I do there.  I scored 100% on all my tests for hire with Transcend.  I have 9 years' experience in clinic transcription.  I was hired in full time, benefits, etc.  I work on a clinic account and have a secondary that is hospital.  No, I did not have hospital experience when starting at Transcend.  Being the great company that they are, they were willing to train me and enhance my experience for both our benefits.  I make 0.0850 cents per line.  The incentive plan is so great that I try to produce more than 11,000 lines per pay period so that I can benefit from it.  I have asked for days off and have always gotten them without hassle.  I have a schedule, however, do not always work my hours but different ones according to what is going on in my life.  I dont ask if that is okay, I just do it.  If I cannot work in the morning, I do it at night.  No one has ever said anything to me about it because I do my lines. 

I work also on VR.  Everyone will be.  Let's face it ladies, it is the future.  You can hate it, fight it, but in the end you either do it or get a new career.  Every MT in the future will at least have to know how to do it.  I plan to learn all I can and become better and faster at it so that I am assured a job. 

There will always be some people who are bitter when they leave jobs.  Some people seem to have a sense of entitlement.  However, it all goes back to the good old days where you get what you give.  The more lines you type and the harder you work, the more money you make.  There is nothing wrong with an honest day's work. 

The first sentence that sent me tossing my cookies was "...we would like to thank you for your continued service and support.  we know the key to our success is the people who work so hard for our customers every day".

PLEEZE......I have not had one centilla of a raise in over 5 years!  So we know what that sentence was all above.  Your thanks and $1.25 will get me a bad cup of coffee at Huddle House.

Next - that's the whole reason for this letter if you ask me - the little ditty from WINSTON AND STRAWN, attorneys at law.

They wanted MQ employees to cough up DOCUMENTS (document preservation).  Of course the attorneys for the MTs' class action suite are also searching out those very same documents.   How quaint.

And that graph about "over the past several months with your help and input we have been working on developing a pay plan and comprehensive benefit program that will enable us to set the standard in the industry."  Nowhere in that whole paragraph did it mention statutory MTs.  It addressed them in the salutation of the letter, but never in the paragraph about the pay plan of benefits if you notice.  and lord help us if MQ is going to set the STANDARD for the industry (which they have single-handedly devastated all by themselves).  They did not make profit through solid  business means, they made their profit off the BENEFITS we as MTs made previously and which they through smoke and mirrors merely shifted over to their profit column.  That didn't take a genius - just underhanded business.  I could do that too, take what used to be benefits and change it to the profit monies. 

And in this letter they further have the nerve to claim:  "While we believe that the claims raised by the three transcriptionists appear to lack merit..."  How about the thousands of other MTs who also believe it to be so, and the hospitals that back them up?

I have to go pour me a drink.
