Read the archives. Lots there, most of it not
good. Someone else asked about them this week so scroll through the board.
Never going to retain MDI 10-11 cents a line sm
The companies want the same skill but for the least they can get away with. I have seen 2.5 to 4 cents the average. Get the calculator out.
say you can do 150 lines/hr at 4 cents a line ($6/hr $48 a day. voice recognition
2000 lines a day,
4 cents line -
$80
250 lines an hour
*****
$900 per pay period.is
$450 per week
$90 s day
281 lines an hour. 4 cents a line
Think can listen through this much and make corrections.
All those extra Keystrokes not used in traditional MTing
Beyond TXT
Make a heading ALT N
Make a subheading AL NN
Numbered list SHIFT/ENTER
Read the archives, lots of info there.
Um, read the boards? Lots of negatives about them lately. nm

I have read lots of posts here and yours, without a doubt,
seems to me to be one of the worst I have seen. You have just told another human being they have nothing of importance to offer to anyone. I saw this and I hope you feel better by posting because I think by far it is the worst as far as putting someone down. For the 1 this was intended for, I hope you take it with a grain of salt and do not stake your life on a statement like this. I would, as my mother used to say, consider the source.
They offshore. Lots of posts about them if you'll read
the archives.
TransHealth...I've read lots of good and bad SM
about them, but am going to start with a very open mind. I am looking forward to it.

Read the archives. Lots of stuff recently. Not good.
Frequent turnover, offshore big time. Read the archives, lots of info on them. nm
Lots of promises, no follow through. Lots and lots of internal sm
problems. She is recruiting heavy right now as she has a CHANCE at getting a big account back. Even if they get it back, they'll blow it again from poor management.
If you'll read through past posts you'll find lots of
recent info. Why do you need menitoring if you already work as an MT. Unless you do clinic work most companies will require you to work at least one weekend day, at least initially.
You are mistaken. sm
 I make more than that. I have almost 20 years in the field. To my knowledge everyone starts out at 8.
I think you are mistaken
I also received a reply from this person. In the email he states that he is attaching sample files so you can hear the speakers. Nowhere in his email does he ask me to transcribe the attachments.
He later asks in the last paragraph of the email to please let him know how many minutes of dictation you can handle. I would bet money that you received the exact email that I did and you are reading something into it that simply is not there.
Why don't you just email him back to request clarification. When you list people's name and company name here and make accusations, you need to make sure that you have your facts straight.
If I am not mistaken, it is a vet - sm
This job is posted over and over and over. No one must keep it.
I MAY be mistaken, but.........sm
I think she sold to an Indian company, but as I've said, I may be mistaken. Maybe Google it to see if you can find something. 
You are mistaken
I read about this plan and it was on TV probably a month ago. It was also in one of the transcription journals I receive. This is not bashing anybody, it is simply a statement.
um, I think you're mistaken about DRC.
Not that it matters, but I believe DRC uses their own platform which is similar to DQS but much easier to learn and work with.
Mistaken posting
I think the poster is a newbie who just made an honest mistake; my concern would be with issues of identity theft and things like that. Once you post something in cyberspace, it never really goes away. I just hope she can get to a mod to have it removed. And I quit agree with anon, it does not mean she is a poor worker or anything like that. It was an error, no harm intended. But the problem of ID theft on the net still runs rampant and I hope that this innocent woman is not subject to anything out of the way because of this unfortunate error. And I do agree, Ruthie is a very gracious person. Too bad there are not more like her on this board!
If I'm not mistaken, they can't fire you for doing so
.
**TransHealth??** You are mistaken. No VR at our company. nm
Well, they must have mistaken me for a person who was desperate
I told them no thanks. You would think that once they found an experienced MT, they would try to keep them instead of handing them crap. Apparently, they cannot find anyone else because they have been calling me for weeks, but I was not available. I decided to give them a try and look what they try to stiff me with. Good grief. Glad to be rid of this headache. On to my next 4 job offers.
you must have mistaken this for another company; benefits start in 30 days
This person obviously has no clue
I totally agree, your story is mine and lots, and lots of others, please
believe me when I say Keystrokes has been honest like we used to have in this profession. If I can help one Transcriptionist avoid what we have, this will all be worth it. I worked parttime for Keystrokes at the time I was fulltime with ____ and quit, 2 years later I begged them to take me back after once again my paycheck was cut in half, and they did with open arms. I don't mean to run down anyone but a lot of these transcription companies are getting obscenely rich while paying below minimum wage to transcriptionists, playing with dictation and after working for a couple of them you know who is honest and who is not. Sorry I came down so hard but the reality is there are single mothers out there that I bet cry themselves to sleep not able to give their children a decent life because it is easier to steal from us. When companies have millions of dollar to pay for other transcription companies, open transcription schools in other countries, ect., ect., you know there is a lot of money in it. That is all I am saying.
I don't think we work at the same place, but I have been working lots and lots of hours.
Very thankful to have a decent job.
Lots and lots of recent stuff in archives.
Lots and Lots of info about them in the archives. nm
Lots and lots of work. You will love

Lots and lots of posts in the archives.
Lots and lots of info in archives and several

Lots lots, cuz I prefer
the OP/PR notes over any report......
I read all read all the threads in the "companies" section
of another board, MT Chat, and Googled each one that got positive reviews. If they had a website and a way to apply online, I did so. And that was how I got hired at TRS. They were not advertising at the time. By sheer coincidence I applied to Transcend just before I applied to TRS, and they were not interested in what I had to offer at the time. And now they've got me anyway, since they bought TRS. Interesting how things work out sometimes.
Companies with negative reviews, or company queries that got only a terse I sent you a PM reply, I passed over.
Call them. I have lots of work, had lots of work
during the holidays too. I don't know who routes the work, but one of the office people is on vacation this week. I occasionally have to call to get work depending on what hours I'm working, but I have never not gotten work when I've asked for it.
I read your post. What do you want me to re-read?
and it seems those are your posts, too, so things just didn't add up and seemed inconsistent. If a place dropped me down to p.r.n. at 7 cpl or whatever and I already had another job where I could get 1000-1500 lines, I wouldn't give the first place a second thought so just couldn't figure out why anyone else would.
lots of ESL
This company works on VA and other accounts. The accounts have LOTS of ESL MDs on them and they are HARD ESL MDs too....the accounts are truely not worth the pay!!
lots of ESL's do not do it
You will never get out of the program and a certain mentor will grade you only on ESLs and you will not get out.
Lots of changes still going on there.

lots of ESL...sm
They are a pretty good company to work for. Pay is on time. The only thing is all the ESLs...and different doctors every day....really messes up your production, as normals are impossible.
LOTS of ESL
ESL - Chinese, Indian, Russian, Hispanic, British and many really awful english speaking newbie residents in the process of training.
Yes, you can have (and may often need) the 12-hour window. Workload is not consistent, had to ask for secondaries before I was there 3 months; when OT is approved other people come charging on there and take all the work. Overstaffing appears to be a problem (though not a huge one yet).
I hope you can avoid the RadNet program, which atrocious and you are expected to be the unpaid go between for Webmedx techs and client techs, neither of which will own the problem. Main platform, Enterprise, is slow and often slower. Expect to have to drop what you're doing due to system freeze-ups and reboot a couple times a day.
The supe is very nice.
lots of lines on DQS
I've been on DQS about 2 months. I am averaging about 280 lph. I have been an MT for 1-1/2 years. I make use of InstantText and I set up a standard for almost every doc I come across. It can be done.
Lots of calculating there each day.
nm
Uh, lots of red flags here. I'd be looking elsewhere.
nm
lots of ex-mq mts go to that board and
she might read there 2
other on that board may know who she is 2
what's ur problem with it?
Lots of information.
Google it. There are many hits for E-Dictate.
lots of work
I got bored and tired of MQ not ever having any work, and I have found 2 part time positions that allow me to work whenever I want so long as I can get the required lines within a certain time frame. So far, I have worked for one platform for one month and the other for 1 day and already I am averaging more lph than with MQ. Think DocQScribe stinks maybe? Then add to that the time it takes for that stupid Etime logging baloney. I can't believe it took me this long, but it seems pretty plain to me.
You will get lots of replies of
keep in mind that is an average and includes everyone from the newbie to the ones that have been doing this for years. There is so much to take into consideration including whether the work is done for a national, whether you have your own accounts, work hourly at a hospital/clinic, etc. It does sound average to me for what its worth.
I have lots of work on my
If you don't already have a secondary...ask for one.
lots of ESLs
Probably everything you said. I have lots of work.
Lots of companies overhire probably because they need the work done and there are always a few MTs who have issues and don't work regularly or don't do their committed lines, so they hire more to make up for it. It is possible they may be offshoring too. You can ask about the company here and if they are offshoring someone may know. Unfortunately there isn't anything you can do about either situation.
lots of work?
So which company is it you work for that gives you lots of work?
Lots of changes there right now, not good. nm

Lots of work.
Software productive and becoming more so as enhancements are made to the program.
