Turnaround Time Transcription? sm
Does anyone have any information about this company? TIA
Well as had been mentioned before MQ NE is looking for a 1 hour turnaround time so there is no way
any accounts will have work for the MTs and that is what they want to do. I think MQ is losing so many accounts they are trying to do these things to get more accounts plus I am sure cutting into the pay of MTs with their new pay plan when it comes out. With 1 hour turnaround time how can anyone get high production for any kind of incentive pay plan. No way in my book. You would be in a zillion accounts. Well, with MQ reputation and good MTs quitting, I hope this plan works for them.
Turnaround Time Transcription, Inc., any info???

Companies with 24-hour turnaround time
I know it has been has been posted here before, but I can't seem to find it. Is there a list of companies that have a 24-hour turnaround time for getting work back?
Also, a list of companies that use ExText or train on speech recognition? Thanks.
I love MDI-MD, and you have a 24-hour turnaround time to get your work done. sm
I'm not sure if they have clinic work, though, but they might.
Good luck in your search! 
I have no real headaches. Sometimes they want a faster turnaround time...
or they want things a certain way, but no biggie..I'd be willing to deal with that for up to 5 cpl than what MTSOs want to pay.
it's called meeting turnaround time, as a team. NM

Yeah, it seemed strange to me so I didn't do it. Also, they had a 24-hour turnaround time for the
test, not unheard of but seemed strange nonetheless. No free work from me today.
There is also the time difference.

what difference is even double time if there is NO WORK...
this is about the slowest holiday I have seen but even we are holding back on healthcare visits right now unless emergencies because we cannot afford it. perhaps that is part of it but whatever it is I have had no work for 2 days so my holiday pay I was promised is actually putting me back in the red...
Merry Christmas
Is there any difference between full and part time IC status at DSG?
Trying to narrow down my choices and make my decision. Thanks! 
Don't know about cherry picking, but time of day makes all the difference (sm)
If I worked day shift, got a fair mix of work. The days I worked early evening, seems like I had to work through 8-10 pieces of rejected poop to get to the regular mix. I thought perhaps a lot of people ended their shift when a crappy one came up and therefore the next shift had to wade themselves out of the doo-doo.
Part of your issue may be that your account manager is in India and there is a time zone difference.
It seems like it is just the opposite of us. Day here, night there etc..All I can say ... Good luck!!!
24-hour turnaround
I'm new to transcription. I currently work (at home) for a local hospital. Are there any companies that you can work for as an employee with a 24 hour turn around or something similar rather than a scheduled shift? I need employee status so I can have benefits. Thanks in advance for any replies. 
Turnaround Transcription-sm
Anyone working for them? I would like to know if it is difficult to get a decent line count with their system? And how difficult the ESLs are? What type of ESLs? Good people to work for? As in, do they let you work and don't bug you with faxes and memos? Thanks.
medgarde turnaround - I am
confused about turnaround time because I am reading up to 5 pm due 8 am. What does that mean? I will be getting work in up til 5 pm so at 5 pm if I am still getting work in I have to have that back at 8 the next day? At 3 pm no later I am done for the day so please explain. Thanks
Why The Complete Turnaround... NOW
?? at this point in time? The problem is, begging for work like this is humiliating. You have work today, how about tomorrow? Will they open the flood gates again?
Anyone work or know anything about TurnAround Transcription in CA? sm
The pay is gross line; however, a line is 72 characters. Not sure if this is a good deal - I don't think so, but would like your input.
I am used to a gross line no longer than 65 characters.
They use MedRite - how is that platform?
they use escription and have 3 hr turnaround OUCH
sounds really tight to me
Looking for IC with 24-hour turnaround and good accounts....
Any recommendations?
Sleep Medicine with 48 hour turnaround?
Does anyone know of any companies that specialize in Sleep Medicine with a 48 hour turnaround window?
Thanks,

There is a difference! nm

What difference
will it make if you buy or not on July 7? How will this hurt Heartland? I admire your gusto and intent, but do not see how the dots connect......
What is the difference?
I'm just looking into this field as an occupation. What is the difference between a template, a normal and an expander?
The difference is
The kids for the most part are full of life and amusing. The doctors for the most part are arrogent and self-righteous - no fun. Good for you if it pays enough.
I'm believe that it's about an 18-20% difference, so
compared to with spaces for it to be equivalent. So about 10.8 cpl without spaces = 9 cpl with spaces.
The difference is,
they're not applying for a job, just sending a general message rather than a potentially offending personal e-mail. I would think that if anyone reading this thread has done these things and not been hired, they might appreciate the tips . . . however ridiculous it may be that they have done them in the past, or that they did not realize that doing these things appears very unprofessional. Would it be better that they continue to wonder why they cannot get hired?
There may be no difference in pay
regarding shifts, etc. If you are an IC, they can't set your schedule. They are not supposed to anyway. Some people work a set schedule as an IC and that is not good practice. As an IC you should be able to set your own hours. This does not seem to be the standard in this profession with some of these online companies anyway. That's why you make more as an IC because as an employee, they have control over you. 
Difference in Pay
Does anyone know an example of the difference in pay in a 65-character line with spaces and without spaces? I did a search but did not find anything. Thanks.
What a difference between
the pro-KS posters and the people who post negative experiences. The pro-KS make insinuations and assumptions about things they could not possibly have any knowledge of, while the other side simply states their personal experience. Pro-KS'ers, you are really hurting your cause with your adolescent posts.
not IC's but SE's -- there is a difference.

I would like to what the difference is too

There really isn't any difference.
20 years is 20 years no matter where you worked or how you got the work done. I had anything and everything thrown my way. So, please do not generalize. Even though someone has worked at the same institution does not mean they are not well rounded. Also, please keep in mind the AAMT was not around forever, so the new MTs are learning a new way of doing things. Those of us who have been in this field listened to the doctors' way, and not a book. If a new MT could do what someone with 20 years of experience can do, they wouldn't be on here begging for companies that hire new MTs. That's proof right there that a new MT does not have what it takes at least at first and I'm not knocking the new MTs because they are the wave of the future; however, they need to learn before they can apply it.
Is there a difference?
Repost - Are the H&Ps and consults that are done for hospitals very different from the H&Ps and consults done by large specialized medical practices (such as large cardiology, ortho, GI groups etc.)? I wanted to do hospital H&Ps, consults, discharges for a company but was told by this company that I did not have the experience (acute care), even though I have had about 20 years doing the large specialty practices, large HMOs and a little hospital work. They said that the hospital reports would be too involved for me. I've seen hospital H&Ps, consults and discharges, and they don't look any more complex than what I had done in the past. Any opinions? Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.
What's the difference?
What is the difference between learning something new at your present employer, or quitting and learning something new with a different employer? Sometimes it makes sense to wait it out or learn something new that your present employer has to offer.
Medical transcription changes daily. It's always to your advantage to learn all you can...new accounts, new platforms...everything you can. The more you know, the more money you make, and the more valuable you are to your employer.
I would like to know the difference here
I have used both 6 and now 8 and frankly I do not see any difference (except how the header looks and much more friendly now) than before. What do you think is different?
Difference (sm)
The subject with the Keystrokes lawsuit is bringing in personal insults and attacks, warring between the company and current/past employees on the board. We are not going to provide the environment for this.
If the topic itself would be discussed, it would stand.

Difference? Pay
There's nothing wrong with working at Wal-Mart unless you are a paraprofessional with skills that enable you to make 3-4 times an hour what Wal-Mart pays.
Generally, when someone in our field references going to work at WM, it's because they've been slapped with the reality of sinking MT pay yet again.
There isn't a profession on earth that I don't feel is admirable. Freeloading is not admirable. Work is.
Re the link I posted, I find it interesting that WM has decided to enter the arena of HIM. They already have their doc-in-a-box ophthalmologists, etc. So they already have been creating some significant databases.
If they look at MT and figure out the profit and the ability to continue low pay for high effort, I truly expect them to expand their HIM efforts.
The difference here
Apparently not going to be much soon as TTS does VR and I hear (by the way of rumblings)TransTech is going to VR. That is all I know about the companies.
So what is the difference in your pay
now since you have mastered VR. Do you make the same as before or have you increased your pay?
There's a big ole fat difference
Between being US-based (i.e., corporate headquarters located in the U.S.) and hires only U.S. transcriptionists. Any company can have their corporate headquarters in Applepieamerican, Illinois but could have half of their staff earning 3 cents a lie in a sweatshop in Ammakandakara. Fat lot of good that does us American MTs, lol.
Wonder what the difference is?
I wonder why more lines can be made on the P account instead of the others? What is so different about that account?
What is the difference between TT, TTS, TTD? Any

What is the difference between TT, TTS, and TTD?

The big difference between
is...
the cars were actually *better* quality as well as cheaper. Not the case with the transcription.
It reminds of the Mechanical Turk. It's a website by Amazon that allows you to get on and do small online jobs contracted by others and paid into a Paypal account. They started it because they found that a computer couldn't not recognize duplicate pages to delete them and so had to hire humans to do it. Mechanical Turk was an machine in the 18th century that could play chest and that supposedly beat the likes of Napolean and Benjamin Franklin, but then it was discovered that it was actually a human chess master inside.
My rather obscure point is that transcription done overseas might end up the same quality as domestic transcription but only after going through extensive edits, usually by American MTs. So, to the client, it ends up looking like excellent quality when, in fact, there was a transcription master behind the machine doing the work.
What were we talking about? Oh, yeah. Offshoring...the patriotic way to create more unemployment, create a bigger budget deficit due to less taxes being paid here in the States (both corporate and income tax), and, in what is touted as a booming field, we find ourselves in a reverse economic anomaly where the field is booming yet salaries are going DOWN.
Yep, offshoring...good for all Americans.
Difference in pay per line?
I posted earlier but may not have been clear.
When you get paid $.08 per 65-character line with spaces and have been making $.09 per 65-character line without spaces, is the end result in pay the same?
Actually, I am comparing work done in Meditech to other platforms out there. Anyone with any input on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Difference in machines
Can anyone tell me the difference in a C-phone and a Lanier 219? I have found a listing for a DA-128 that can be used with a few different systems. Does that include the Lanier system? I am interested in finding the Lanier XL 219-1 with VTI but I can't believe the prices. I guess actually I can but I want to know if there is a system out there that is compatible or if I need to specifically get the Lanier.
Thank you everyone for your help in advance. If there is no compatible system, does anyone have one for sale?
Have a safe and happy holiday weekend.

what's the difference between a VA account and one that isn't? (sm)
Are VA accounts harder than regular accounts? Why is it harder to get a good line count on a VA account?
What difference does it make?
Just proving my point. If you expect an MT to perform at a certain standard during a verbal test, no excuses, no exceptions, then you should show that same standard everywhere you go, message boards included.
