Why does it hurt your ears? good grief
:(
Agree - familiarity and comfort with a bad company
Well worth the learning curve. I invested years at MQ too but was becoming physically, emotionally, spiritually ill more and more. I feel like a bird out of prison.
MQ developed and owns DQS.
None. Bayscribe was developed by a tech guy

When I worked it was a DOS program they had developed (sm)
that actually worked with PRD - that was about 3-4 years ago and they were slowly transferring over to a Word-based type program... I believe InstanText should work with their stuff
Was it the old cottage program developed by YOG? sm
if so, another link to their so-called nonconnection with Carole and YOG.
MQ owns DQS software. They developed it

"drop the hypen from "well-developed, well-nourished"
I've been there quite a while, pay on time, growth spurt right now, so good time to get on board,
new accounts and lots of work, and before someone says it, I'm not management, just an employee.
From time to time those paper checks aren't good!

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.
Does anyone recommend a pretty good company that is good to work for, pay always on time and plenty
of work. I know that is asking a lot, but just curious?
keep your ears open
things are being restructured,it will most likely affect your office.
Overtime out my ears at WebMedX (sm)
I get 9 cents a line and there's a tiered incentive plan. It's something like 150-160 lph they add 0.5, 160-170 lph they add 0.75. The top is 300 lph, where they add 2 cpl. I've consistently earned the top incentive pay, making great money.
I was a little worried the work would get low when I saw all the ads lately, but maybe the ads are because they got new accounts. It gets maybe a teensy bit light around the holidays (like 5 minutes without work). I have tons of backup accounts and almost every day I have the opportunity for overtime.
I'm a FT employee with benefits. I'd rather have someone else take care of finding accounts, setting up benefits, etc. Couldn't be happier, really.
We used to call it "putting our ears on"
Years ago when I worked for an insurance claims adjuster we spent 6 of our 8 hours a day typing reports. We loved it. We called it putting our ears on and didn't have to worry abou the rest of it, and more importantly had an excuse to ignore the moody boss.
I personally have always just typed fast. I've been clocked at 120 wpm. I got faster sometime in 2006 when I started communicating on message boards on a regular basis. 
Some days, though, no matter what you do, your fingers will not cooperate. And on the days the fingers cooperate, then the brain doesn't engage. And on the days where both are working in harmony, then the keyboard doesn't work.
It's a conspiracy.
the 'number' of ears does not matter, you have
'excellent' hearing in 1 ear, so you are perfectly suited for this job!
I haven't heard anything, but will keep my ears open. nm

Keep your eyes and ears open. I have worked
for Transcend in the past, as did several of my friends, and we had a really bad experience. MQ was better, which says a lot. Hopefully things have changed now and they have improved their act, but things were horribly mismanaged a few years back, horrible accounts with cherry-picking, supervisors and other leads telling untruths, etc. Biggest point I remember was huge favoritism. I happened to be one of the favored ones, just by luck of the draw, while my friends were not as lucky. Again, just a bungled mess and we all left within a few months. I believe one of my friends still has their computer. They never even noticed she was gone. That sort of nonsense. Best wishes to you, though. Maybe you will be treated well since you are part of a business deal.
To all of you who have complained about QA and it has fallen on my deaf ears...sm
I FLIPPING APOLOGIZE!!!!
I have had the mother of all run ins with QA today. This is a new job for me, I have not been happy, but it is a job, you know?
I can't imagine I have made that many stupid mistakes! I don't as a rule. I have had a tough week, it is true. I have been sick, had some family problems, etc. but this takes the cake.
I had the doctor say: Scratch that, use... QA corrected to include the scratch that sentence. Counted me off. Lovely.
We have BOS specifics, company style guide and account specifics. Apparently, the QA person didn't read any of these and corrected my work to reflect BOS 1 style, when we were told to use BOS 2. Okay...
She corrected properly placed commas.
She added words that the doctor didn't say to make it sound better. We can't do that, it is V-E-R-B-A-T-I-M verbatim. She corrected for past tense on a doctor that never uses that and is an ESL, so his language usage is not what we would call correct, exactly, but he makes sense in a round about way. Gotta type what he says, right?
EVERY SINGLE STUPID REPORT was overly corrected, incorrectly corrected, had things that are incorrect in the BOS, the company guide AND the account specifics...
I have not had this much of a run in with QA in about 10 years and I am livid. I know I have typos here and I am not making sense, but I am so angry, I have tears in my eyes.
I had a friend, a former MT, tell me that what I have here is a situation where someone of inferior intelligence, less experience than I have who is vastly over-correcting my work because she is on a power trip!
Any suggestions?
Keep your options open, keep your ears to the ground

reporting cherry pickers falls on deaf ears. I have complained for years.

I don't think now is a good time to look because of the
slow down. I left MQ in late July and had 4 interviews and job offers the first week of sending out resumes. Now, I think it would be a little slower with the glut of MTs looking and the time of year.
IC positions only but the pay is good and always on time-sm
easy system and dictators are all pretty good (from what I have had anyway). I do mostly ops and discharges for them but they have ER and other stuff too.
Paid on time, but not good.

BEWARE, this is not a good time to be at OSi
They are having a major shakeup and have been firing upper crust for multiple reasons, violating the privacy of MTs and other extremely uncouth things.
Aside from that - the same old, same old - Big I and Little You. They still don't give a fig about the MTs. They like the fancy titles but don't live up to the fancy titles, don't know how to schedule, and try to gyp you at every turn, with falsifying time sheets only one way of accomplishing that!!!
I don't think now is a good time to look for work anywhere
over the holidays. On the other hand, people tend to get really ill over the holidays, and unfortunately, mortality rate goes up. It's just the docs are busy, and of course have their minds on their families too and the time they are taking off from work.
In 27 years of transcribing this has always proven true. It may get slow now, after the docs get the notices from medical records they are soon out of compliance, there will be a flurry of reports just about to be over a month old. So please hang in there. And if you need extra money there is always the ability to help in retail. Especially the chains which will be having big sales. They need extra help. Good luck to you!
Are there any good companies that pay on time?
looking
ROI - Good company, pay always on time.
One drawback is scheduling. Although you are an IC, they treat you like an employee. Monitor when you start and end your shift and any breaks you take. If that's not a problem for you, then give them a try.
I had a good time but I struggled in the
70s when I was working 13 hour days and weekends to boot to support 2 kids in school, divorced mother. I hate being poor and I did not start transcription until 1973, by the 80s making a gold mine at it, outsourcing, outsourcing and now in the golden years working 4 days a week, just tired with fibro and thyroid problem. I make no excuses for now because I have done without in my earlier years.
I work there and love it. Good pay and always on time.
I don't take the health insurance, so can't speak about that. The people are very friendly and helpful.
Good company, pay on time, seems like a lot of work. nm

Sorry you had a bad time with them. Hope you found a good fit elsewhere. nm

Seems like the good ones are staying a long time
I know many who have been there 2, 3, and some 4 years. Volumes are up right now, and we've had several new accounts go live in the last couple of months as well.
I have been with co for a long time. I have it pretty good, but new

Is this a good time to apply at Transtech?
TransTech - they are hiring now, good time
....
I tried several other companies, good ones, but it was like regressing in time! Not worth it!
You won't be shuffling thru papers, trying to find doctors names, etc. Its a fast platform. I never realized how much I loved it til I tried "greener pastures", which sure were not greener! Felt like the horse with my head stuck thru the fence, but luckily I got back in my own pasture! There's no place like home, there's no place like home...Good luck to you!!
Good, decent company. Pay on time. Low on work. nm

As far as I know, IC only. Very steady work flow. Pay is good and on time.
 Great lady to work for.
employee, DD, pay on time as other said, good staff, appreciative.

Anyone know if Accustat is a good company and pays on time?

GOOD COMPANY FOR PART-TIME WORK?
Anyone know of a good company willing to hire for part-time work? I'm not familiar with the majority of the companies looking to hire on here. Thanks !
Of course we do. This will make time #5 that I do just that. Glad you have good luck.
Not everybody does. Ummm...you do know you don't always get what you ask for/want, right? And if you try sometimes, you still don't get what you need.
Are there any good companies that hire part time?
I have two years of acute care experience, and I need a part-time job to supplement my current income. If everything works out, I will need to go to full time in March. At this time, I can only work Friday and Saturday nights.
I have been applying to several companies, but they keep giving me the run around. One company even told me I did very well on their test and that I was put in a pool of transcriptionists to be contacted. The recruiter called me once, and I missed her call. I called her back and left a message, but I have not heard anything else from her.
Any advice would be appreciated. TIA! 
Yes. Pay on time, good communication, stay busy.nm

I am looking for a company where I can work as an IC for good lph rate part-time...
I am needing to supplement my income, as I am the sole provider for my family due to hubby recovering from illness. I would like to find a good company with good pay (9-11 cpl), part-time employee status or IC, hopefully providing all necessary equipment. I have been searching the archives all day and have not come up with any other than Webmedx, but it sounds as if I would be doing mostly ESL to make the higher lph. I could possibly come up with the PC if I needed to. I have 8 years acute care experience. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. If you don't feel comfortable posting, I have included my e-mail address. Thanks much in advance for all your help 
Looking for part-time work with good line rate.
I have loads of acute care experience and I am dependable. I never miss a day of work, willing to work weekends, etc. I am looking for a dependable company with steady work. Any ideas?
Big Time Micromanager! And if you leave, good luck on getting that last check.
Although you are an IC, she will expect you to work a rigid schedule.
