NO...another post on this page says that it happens
in the medical field. Just curious as to why an MT would be asked or if they would.
There was a post probably on this page a day or so ago.
Why don't you scroll down.
There's a post about this down the page a few. nm

There's a post about halfway down this page
It's titled SoftScript posted by oldtimer.
can someone maybe start like a myspace page for everyone to post sm
for Transcriptionist messages and specifics about a prior company?
I did. On page 3 post from 2007 says no current

OH BOY. My post below re: Just Hired, a little nervous...
If you read the post below with the flame, I'm having a communication problem as well, just not insurance - yet!? This is my 2nd nite I was supposed to start my shift (in an hour) and the Acct. Mgr. is gone for the day, no User ID mailed to me again. Insurance issues as well? I do feel for you and the other poster gave some good advice. Keep on top if it!
Just curious what does that mean? "They sure do"
Im not catching on..... thanks :-)
Sorry, meant "they're" not there.

"They" ALL overhire; it's please the client first; not the MTs.
Pardon the typo should be "they are" all bad
NM
WHAT part of "they will use posts like these....
to prove damages, don't you get?
It's not about whether or not you CAN say what you want - it's whether you want to help the case against GP..
THINK a little harder about the point I am making...
Supe says "they rock!" This is so disgusting
to hear every time they put some new MT's on our accounts.
Today it's all jokes being sent out in emails! Just what we need, more emails!!!!!! We can read joke books or joke calendars. Would rather not have those sent by our SUPE in company emails !!!
One supervisor I had actually said, "They should be checking these reports." uh no, not dr
and she still has her high-paying job while me and others are in the dirt.
and do you mean "THEY" meaning DeVenture or in general?
If in general, that's nothing new. If you mean DeVenture, then I'm glad I got turned down.
You said it: "They made good money."
I don't mind working hard if I am getting paid accordingly. Doctors and nurses make good money to work weekends. My sister even gets a very nice shift differential for working evenings, nights, and weekends. I get none of that. I get the same 7 cpl regardles of when I work. Hardly seems worth the $12-13 an hour I make to give up the precious little time on the weekends I get to spend with my family. Guess each just has their own priorities in life and mine is not work.
Not at all. Worked for the NJ company. Used to pay by the page or partial page. Don't know about

Some comments on page 2 of this board, middle of the page. nm

It's called "professional pride" - people proud of the way "they" do things.
You can't win with these types of people, and I think you're right, it's trivial nonsense. Best thing to do is leave and find a more reasonable employer - they're out there.
Does MedWare post your score in their email to you? How high a score do you need to get hired?Thx.nm
s
there is a thread further down this page or possibly the next page
I transcribed for Compuscribe years ago. Had no problems, just low pay but no problems.
Go to the bottom of the page and click on a page
number to get the most recent archives and then can do Ctrl F and do a search for WebMedX. I wouldn't call them a small national.
Page 2, scroll down towards the middle of the page, NM

I think it depends on experience, account hired for, etc. I was hired at .08 per line sm
but after 90 days went to 0.085 and then 0.09 about 90 days after that. I am now at 0.0925 and have been there a year. I have to point out that the line rate might not be the highest but I can verify my counts, have plenty of work, get paid on time and have a great manager. To me, leaving a bad national and the headaches that went with it was well worth the cut in pay I took. Funny thing is that I took a pretty sizable pay cut but make more money ?!?!
Some WMX posts on page 4 here near the top of the page. nm

I said "about to be" hired... not yet hired, and ........
considering it just like I would consider any job.... I didn't accept the job yet and wanted to check out the info out there.
My post should say the post above not the post below, Sheryl's post to be specific. nm
nm
I don't see that on their web page
nm
Take a look at the next page (sm)
Maybe the people aren't still there, but they're experiences weren't good. Companies don't change that radically. If there are problems like that, it's because of major philosophical problems in the company. If after reading those posts you'd still want to pursue testing with them, well, all I can say is good luck. I'm sure we'll be hearing from you later.
Pay by the page
Is this good or bad? Does anyone have any experience with this type of pay?
Pay by the page
Thank you. It's $2.50 per pay page on a sliding scale. I do not really understand it and that's why I do not really know what questions to ask. Thanks for the input.
per page
To me it there are too many variables to quote a per page rate, font size, margins, etc. You can have anywhere from 50 to 66 lines for full page depending on margins and font, so at .012 per line, that is quite a difference. Also what do you do for 20 or 30 lines, as they could both be half a page? That is just my opinion though. Could work in your favor and could not. If they use a small Arial 10 font, takes a lot more lines to fill up a page than Courier 12.
I Get $2.75 per page
I type for an insurance company doing claim tapes and I charge by the page. It works out well for me. I type in Tahoma 10. Even if a page is just one line long I get paid the full rate.
i see it a little further down on this page

pay per page
typo
Pay by the page
How on earth do you charge by the page? I have never been paid by the page but only by the line. Luckily, I found the job through the local paper and they will let me work from home (only 5 minutes away). There is a big psychiatric hospital down there street. Thanks for all of your help. I about gave up on transcription.
Pay by the page
I meant there is a big psychiatric hospital down the street from where I live and they usually charge by the page, but I have never charged by the page, but only by the line. Any suggestions?
by the page
The margins per page are 3 inch on the top and 3 inch left margin. Does that make a difference do you think?
Look down the page a little.....
Keystrokes is really popular right now. 
you are all over this page
with negative comments about a lot of companies. Probably not a very good idea to let this recruiter know who you are by e-mailing straight from this site. Just a helpful hint.
pay by page
Does anyone work for a transcription company that pays by the page instead of cents per line? If so, could you please email me. Thanks.
Yep and now it's a whole page +2.
z
On what page are they? If they are there, I will
x
Further down this page, 1/3 way?, you
will find a message from the recruiter, Carlotta Buckley, with that signature.
I, along with others, have elabored myself on MDI, which is probably on next page now.
It is a great company that will do everything they can to take care of the MT. They have a positive QA team, etc. Personally i think they are the best company around.
Same page
I only wish more people would get on the page with us. I fail to see how some people can stick their head so far in the sand.
No I'm not QA and I think we are on the same page. sm
My original post was in regards to Bayou MT's comment that we are not paid to look up doctor's names, unfamiliar names, terminology, etc.
P.S. I've run into the same QA types. The absolute worse was one from YOG. She actually called me on the phone and put me down.
at the top of the page --sm
there is a Google search bar. just beneath that are two buttons, . web and . MT stars. make sure the button by mt stars is checked and then type in the name of the company in question and click the search button beside it. that should bring up new and old postings about the company.
$1.00 a page?
You MUST be kidding! What an insult!
$1.00 per page
Yes, I thought it was very low, too. And she pointed out that you make the $1.00 page if you are very good. I thought that was hilarious. It was like she meant to convey that only the very top transcriptionists could ever hope to attain that job with such an exhorbitant amount of money as $1.00 per page! I had to hang up quickly before I laughed out loud! No hard feelings with them, though, and I wasn't all that insulted. I wish them well. They just don't have clue about how to hire quality transcriptionists and pay them well. Of course, that problem is a common one in this industry, but they just seem to have even less of a clue than most companies about paying us properly for quality work.

look down the page
look down the page, much ado about something....
