that causes the problem, but the company you work for that controls how the lilnes are counted!

Yet, second company thinks it should work and not mess up other platform (sm)
I will feel better when the actual technician sees about loading it. Not that the recruiters don't know their job, just nervous.
I had others report they are using 1 computer for 2 different companies and maybe having to use a second pedal. Let's hope we are lucky.
Me thinks you think too much!!
Thus, the problemo!
SHE thinks she's the only one who knows how!
who is that unqualified for the position she's in. You're either SD herself or someone she put up to posting this nonsense because she's definitely an approval seeker and would be horrified to know that she wasn't fooling anyone. Keep shoveling. I find it amusing.
Better thinks about it
They don't pay for spaces. They fine you for mistakes. Everyone is mood at that company. Horrible experience working for them. Better think about it.
Nothing yet. Am I the only one who thinks this is odd???
When companies switch insurance plans, they do it months in advance and not keep working on it long after their insurance is canceled.
The OP thinks she is SM
being specifically singled out for bad treatment because she **dares** to question them. Completely ridiculous. I know all of us would like to believe the world revolves around us, but the reality is that an MT that questions my corrections or feedback is barely noticed by me.
Just like MTs, our working conditions have deteriorated over the years and the majority of us have the same priorities as MTs, getting the work out the door and keeping the office off our back.
Me thinks somebody is a bit paranoid.
I've worked other places and I've never done as well as I have at TT. I doubt they pull the bull you state.
For me, I planning on being there until I retire. I think you should back up your info with FACTS, not RUMOR.
She thinks she's texting

Me thinks you are not really 'admin.'

What a minute, one thinks it is fast
and another thinks it is slow and cumbersome. I'm confused now. Can you give details please.
What an idiot this person is. Thinks he has all
the answers and really doesn't have any of them. He doesn't know who I am and cannot comment on anything about what transpired when I worked there.
I have absolutely no reason to lie about my experience with SS. It was a horrible place for lots of reasons and I'll tell anyone who asks about the company my experience to spare them the headache. IF my QA scores were down (how could they be I was in QA), if I didn't stick to my schedule, etc. and got fired I would admit that also, but none of it happened - I QUIT and H did beg me to stay. I know it is hard with all his sliminess to believe he could beg, but beg he did.
I know it was not a type and know poster thinks
nm
I hear you. I pay NO attention to how good someone thinks they are.
With all that wonderful experience, if you cannot pull the testing, you have just proven you don't know your own skill level.
I got a call the day I sent my resume and answers in. Maybe you the OP is not all that she thinks s
the positions that had open were not a good match for what she has done. I read her post a few times. It says that her skills do match the opening that she applied for, not that she was a bad Transcriptionist or anything like that. Their question sheet is pretty specific. If she was looking for hours that they did not have available or a type of account that they did not have openings for, that would explain it. At least she heard at all. I applied to at least a dozen companies, many mentioned here often as good or great companies, that never even acknowledged my application or resume. Each experience is obviously different.
Me thinks the 'lady' doth protest too much - nm
So what exactly IS your point, if any, besides the obvious pedantic and self-righteous diatribe?
Me thinks the lady doth protest too much
I do not know All Type or any of the people involved in this but it have been reading along because I am interviewing with them next week. I was very upset by this and scared that I had made the wrong choice. You have made a lot of statements and I was thinking that you were treated unfairly and that I hoped you proved your case in court and maybe make our place in the industry a little stronger. We are the lowest people on the totem pole in every company and we do get kicked around a lot. But you now sound like you had it in for one particular person at your company and have worked very hard to cause problems for that person. I just do not know why you would stay there or even want to go back if you hate this person and she makes you this unhappy with your life and job and she singled you out to cut your pay so drastically. I agree with the other poster who said you have wasted a great deal of time on this and that you should move on and find yourself a better job with a company that is a better fit for you. I think you have gone too far and become far too emotional when you get this dangerously close to slander.

Sorry, that should be thinks…fingers too fast today

There's only one way to find out if an employer thinks you'd be as suited for a return to this
.
Anyone who thinks it is "okay" and we should "accept" the way society is changing ...sm
is the reason why it is. The ones who just roll over and take it, should be ashamed for not having backbone and standing up to globalization for not standing up for themselves, our country, and our children and their children. This is the reason why we the whole people are losing control of our government and what they control, offshoring, loss of privacy, etc.
Hafta laff -- SM thinks she's quite the master of sarcasm.
In case anyone thinks Escription is a good thing!!
This is just the beginning as more and more records are residing on the internet. And when you go into see your doctor, he is more concerned with making his laptop work and inputting info than he is listening to you. My friends are angry about this as they see it more and more. So EMR, internet, etc are more trouble than they are worth and we can only hope we go back to the way it used to be.
That poster thinks this has nothing to do with spirituality or domestic violence.
See below. She says we are in left field suggesting that. So, the words suck it up has nothing to do with how we treat other people or how we choose to be treated, that is just take the beating? Okay, well if I am in left field, and she has typed me in a psych note, I suppose I should suck that up too. Answering here because I wanted her to read above once again so that this poster can put 2 and 2 together, instead of calling me a nut. Thanks for listening.
Transcend really thinks we are stupid and would never know a little line count manipulation.
They picked the wrong people to try that on!!!
Must be a skinny person who thinks it's that easy. If it were, trust me, we'd all be thin.
No one wants to be overweight, noone what to contemplate surgery, but I think there is a conscious choice to want to live and will do anything to keep doing that with a decent quality of life. It's not always by choice that people are overweight. All I can think of here is ....empathy.. and I applaud anyone who cares enough about living to do whatever it takes, no matter how drastic. For some, it's their last chance to live so spare us all with the Just diet and exercise speech.
RISS is not a platform. RIS stands for Radiology Information System. The platform sm
would be EXText.
MDI-MD platform is fast, not full of problems like Transcend platform or MDI-FL
On Transcend platform you have to click, click, click all day and still get errors, change screens constantly - its a nightmare to work in.
Yes, SPi does use this platform....it's a great platform, but not worth working for SPi. nm

Bad Platform. I personally know of 3 MTs who left because of the platform.
If you are like me, the bottom line is wages and what I get in my check. I have never worked for Amphion, but I personally know of 3 MTs who worked part-time at Amphion before quitting their other service to see what Amphion had to offer before it was too late. All 3 quit Amphion and stayed with their other service because of the Amphion platform. Too hard to make any decent lines.
Something to think about.

Here is one post from a couple days back:
Posted By: Amphion on 2005-12-02
To all of us trying our hardest to grab our work when it is available, and then still only make 24 bucks a day because of the garbage platform.
To each his/her own! I was on a different VR platform sm
and ran out of work constantly. I have worked on several VR platforms and BeyondText is not the best, but it is not the worst either.
Every company has good and bad. Transcend was just not a good fit for me; however, it may be a good fit for you or the next person who comes along.
I love new technology and work on state-of-the-art platforms, the newer the better, so that typewriter theory of yours really does not jive here.
Every company has good and bad, it all depends on the individual MT and what that MT is looking for in a company.
Good luck to you and if you choose Transcend, I hope it is a good fit for you!
Platform
Any info at all on CareFlow platform? Is is productive? Any info appreciated.
MDI-MD's pay & platform
1. How do they pay in comparison to other companies?
2. Can you access reports typed by other people or review the patient's old reports in Bayscribe?
3. Do they furnish PC and/or charge a fee?
Thanks
Could you tell me what platform they use?
nm
Platform???
DQS??
new platform
I really like the new platform, but it's always running out of work. When there is work, I can get pretty good lines.
what is the best platform out there?
what is the best platform and what kind of money is "good money" in transcription?
What platform do they use? sm
Do they consider full-time to be 40 hours a week?
What platform do they use?
Any idea on the payscale? Can you provide any other information?
platform
Okay, that is good to know. The account I would be on is on Medrite, which I have used before and like.
Thanks.
What platform do you use? nm

And if they don't get you with a bad platform,
then they overstaff your account. I used to get over 20,000 lines before they overstaffed mine and started playing favorites, with cherry picking taking place. (And don't say it can't happen, because it can and does right before my eyes all the time.) I've been struggling to make the minimum to keep my benefits.
And then they try to tell you how you're going to be making such great money when you go to voice recognition, which is a JOKE for someone who typically transcribes 250-300 lines an hour.
To read this board and find that now the incentive program is discontinued for new employees (who are now hired at a higher rate and given instant PTO) while the rest of us who were hired before November 1 have to scramble to get a higher line count in order to make what the newbies are making and have to wait a year before earning one minute of PTO only provides yet another example of the inequitable way this company operates.
I'm tired of all the games, the insulting of my intelligence with the fiction they invent, and the terrible, terrible program.
And to all the cheerleaders out there: Write down all the good things you have to say now, save it in a file, put it on your calendar for 6 months from now and THEN let us all know how you're making out.
As for me, I've found another job.
About which platform.......sm
Is your account still on the H platform? Is the the bo account? That's what I was on, and I am the one thinking of going back with the post above yours. If so, this is interesting to know ahead of time.
I believe you can use IT with the platform.

What platform do they use...
and are they employee only status or do they have IC also? Thanks!!
Both IC/SE, their own platform (sm)
which they are constantly upgrading in response to MT feedback, works much like Word, compatible with Instant Text, Shorthand, and Wordpad-based normals.
Could you tell me what platform
they use and if they are employee only? Do you have to be full time? Thanks much!!
Platform: their own (sm)
which works a lot like Word, accepts Instant Text, which the company will help you buy (they also have free IT classes and glossaries for many accounts). I like that they upgrade the platform based on MT feedback. Owner is known for hiring top tech staff and programmers. I'm an SE; they also hire employees. I don't think you have to be full time, but it's so easy to make the full time lines that you might want to be. I've done overflow work for probably 10 services in the last 5 years (in addition to working long term for 1 service), and I've never piled up the line count as easily as with ProScript nor been treated as well.
It is just a platform.
I worked on Softmed when I was in-house. You are basically working in Word superimposed on Softmed. I liked it when I used it. If you are proficient in Word, you will do fine.
