I would rather work on 1 account and make more money, than 5 different ones! No thanks. sm
I think their new program absolutely sucks and there are a heck of a lot of people who say the sound quality is horrendous. I wasn't sticking around to find out. I made my decision as soon as I saw what it was about and knew it would slow me way down. Hey, to each their own. If you like it, fine. I am happy about my decision and glad I did it.
I am on a new account, doing work types I cant make money on. nm

Anyone else struggling to even make a $200 paycheck from Futurenet? sm
They are a great company but the work is bare. Very, very bare. I cannot even make enough to do anything with. Have they overhired? This has been going on for months. I hate to leave but I cannot put my family through this anymore. We depend on my income greatly. Anyone else have these issues?
it would only hurt those struggling to make their line count
It could endager their job. If they need just 45 minutes extra a day to meet their count, what does it hurt? No one said you have to work more hours. You could always opt out of working longer than 8 hours.
I dislike the platform and am struggling to make minimum
line counts. The IT department said platform issues are being worked on but won't be resolved anytime soon. Work is sporadic on many accounts, may not be work during your shift, but you still have to make up the time and you're expected to accept it. You may/may not get a backup account.
You get e-mails that threaten they will have to offshore if accounts can't stay within TAT, which makes me think it is already in the works.
Benefits are good, but they don't make up for not being able to make lines.
I think they are definitely better than some companies I have worked for, but every breath I take I'm in tears because I hate it so much.
New TTer, struggling to make lines. Are they flexible on this
.
Me too. You work, you make money. SM
You work well, you make more money. You work smart, you make more money. You work long, you make more money. You work hard, you make more money. The key word all else depends on isn't zone, it's work.
Maybe is it for a particular account. I work M-F. You are required to work one weekend an month.

No, you won't make more money unless you do triple the work load. sm
Instead of transcribing 1200 to 2000 lines a day, you will need to edit 4000 to 5000 lines a day.
That is very difficult most days, the most I did, and this is with 5 years experience, was 3800 a day, and that is not consistent.
So, 3800 lines x what are you being paid 5 cpl = $190. I have to tell you 3800 lines of editing a day is tough to do most days. I had days where I could barely get 2000 done. It all depends on how recognized the dictator is and how many small errors are in the report.
I work at DDS and love it. Make great money!
I do ER and basic 4 work and make excellent money
NM
Anyone who is hired for one work type only should make less money (IMO)
nm
I recommend Keystrokes too. I make great money, have a lot of work and have sm
been around the block a time or two.
I have worked for them for 6 months but had worked for them previously (in 2003). I left for several reasons but all of them have been resolved. I think a big part of the improvement is due to direct deposit and the office. When I worked for them before, the owner ran things from her home office but now there is an office that has a lot (not sure how many) people in it and I can get answers and help quickly when I need it.
I think that they had some growing pains but resolved them. I know that they are still growing, even faster than ever from what my lead tells me. If you have a lot of hospital experience, they are hiring for two new accounts and need good MTs.
Venting- how can you make money or get line counts when all the work is given to someone else!
Nothing seems fair anymore. Does anyone else ever have this happen?
You wont make any money with them. Expect to get ripped out. The hospital they do work for should...
be ashamed to sent their work to Indian companies like treat their employees like crap. You can bet the hospital pays full price, but once the MTs get their part, it is minimal. Dont go there!!
I have dial-up and make money. I download my work and I can start transcribing
as soon as the first report has downloaded. Once I download I disconnect, do my work, then connect and send my completed work. I usually start my download in the morning then go take my shower, feed all the animals, grab myself something to drink and I'm ready to go. Once the work is downloaded what type of connection you have doesn't matter.
Sure it is safe to post your resume on the net, provided it is a reputable site. I would not just post it anywhere, but post it on the job boards here and other reputable sites. Most sites have some type of safeguards in place so that you have to have registered with the site and/or paid a usage fee to view information like addresses and phone numbers, so that not just anyone can view the information.
Another option may be an account that has C-phone or similar accounts, where you aren't downloading, but dialing directly into the system.
Amherst so we make less money and they get more money for MQ and bigger bonuses. Our guidelines came
from Amherst.
going by the address in Clearwater - it's a pretty crappy crappy location
so it kind of makes me wonder what the company is like! I know that location shouldn't really matter, but let's be realistic - there are TONS OF PLACES in Clearwater with office space to rent, but judging by the address, I am pretty sure this is out of an apartment or house. Not that that should make a difference,
yep, gotta spend money to make money. NM

Last month was slow on my account..but this month (sm)
we've been swamped...
Glad to know I'm not the only one struggling to get work -- sad. nm
x
I doubt you will make enough money in 5 hours a week to make
nm
Probably because they love to overhire! We will all be struggling for work in a few months..nm
nm
Me, too. I've made so little money this month that I can't even
make my house payment. This is getting beyond ridiculous. If it's not one thing, it's another. I suppose I could go pawn my computer since I'm not getting any work.
Doing great! Made more money in one week at TT than I did in a whole month
at previous job!
I work for SoftScript w/ another crappy system
nm
Sounds like the place I used to work for. The one with crappy program?
nm
I agree. This past year has been terrible with MQ. Never enough work, crappy dictators, no pay for
weekends and holidays anymore etc etc I guess with all their legal woes we are paying for it and then have to have few blanks and 98% QA on dictators I have never even heard of. A joke to be sure and no matter how good the new pay plan is or they allow everyone a window to work then everyone will be working all hours to get lines for incentive which they probably never will. MQ is losing a lot of MTs and I expect that will continue. They seem to just keep pushing and pushing and it almost seems like they want people to leave so it really makes you wonder what is going on here. They really just dont care.
I make around 4,000 a month, but
I work Sunday-Thursday. I have 2 of my own clients and I also am gone from the house 2 days a week for a few hours for deliveries. I work basically when I want. If I want more, then I take more from the true IC online job that I have where there are no set hours, quotas to meet, or line count requirements (TRUE IC). 
Your account went to India?
During my interview with Landmark, I was told they do not offshore. Do they?
Yes, my account went to India.
No, Landmark does not offshore but a client at any time can decide to take away an account and that's what happened here. Client called and decided to give India a try. Poof, the whole account gone in 1 day.
Does USA QA or ME make it better for India?
To me, it would seem that when ME's or QA find mistakes and correct them on reports done in India it only makes the MTs in India look better. Too bad the raw report can't just be sent as is so the hospitals/MTSOs get a reality slam where its needed. As long as those who proof reports work for companies who outsource, the poor quality of work being produced will never be seen. Perhaps the solution is for ME's and QA people to work for only those companies who keep work in the USA. Are ME's aware of it when they are proofing reports typed in India?
You won't be able to make any money there.
Especially if you have to enter ALL of the patient info.
MAKE MONEY ?
How on earth can anybody make a decent pay with this editing crap?? It is not user-friendly...it is slow and they pay is even more crapier !
Can you make any money?
Hi all,
Just wondering if if is possible to make much money doing transcription for these companies at home. I just started with one and they are very nice, professional, etc. etc., however I feel I am moving along at quite a good pace and am just making a little over $10 an hour. I was hoping for more like $25. Is it possible anywhere? Let me know what the average pay is?
I wish I would get more OPS, always make more money with them.
nm
I think MTs believe NO ONE should make money but them!
If no profit is to be made, no one will be in business - whether it is a small MTSO, an MT on her own, or a national. Heck, even a hospital will close if it isn't making profit!
Business is to make money. Competition is so high for companies/MTSOs. It's not the MTSOs fault, is it? No. They have a right to make a profit for their work.
I'm like you: I don't agree with everything going on in the profession but I am very happy with my work and always have been. I can accept the things that I cannot change. Otherwise, if I am unhappy, I move on. No sense sitting around being glib about something you have every opportunity to change.
Sometimes you make LESS money
Because of having rounded experience, you sometimes get all the crap/scrap work.
How do you make money like this?
Are most of the reports full listens? Does it balance out with lots of reports with only 1 or 2 blanks? I'm considering an offer and need to know if I can make any money with Focus on escription?
How do you make money on VR?
Please tell me how to make $50 an hour with Escription. I need to be making more than 7cpl. My husband can't work so I have to take care of my kids. Please email me any info on how to make money on Escription. Thanks so much
At TT, can I really make as much money with VR
nm
Oh, she does make $4000 a month.....sm
what she DOESN'T tell you is that it's not from editing. She gets a lump sum for doing other things in addition to editing.
just resigned because India took over my account
nm
OSI also has this account & definitely offshores it to India
.
Just put some money away in your own savings account (sm)
and then if we ever get organized we can strike. Everyone would have their own funds and would not have to worry about who is getting what or whether someone would take off with the funds.
make more money at Wal-Mart
and they give you a piece of the company
lol
Etransplus--can you make money there
Does anyone know about etransplus. Upon until now the feedback I have gotten has been pretty good looking through the posts. I was really taken aback by the amount of styles they have. Wow, what a change for me. I know I can get used to it, but I know I'm going to probably take some time. How do their line counts jive with a character count line? I really liked the fact that they offered insurance for 900 lines a day. That is great. I hope I can bang out the lines!
At Spheris, if you want to make more money
you have to go to a higher level account, period.
That is the only fair way to do this, in my opinion.
so why not buy a few shares and make money off them anyway?
x
I make great money there
I do not do radiology, but ER and basic 4, and I make 10 cpl, have tons of work, and make a great living there. That is just my own experience. Others may have had different experiences there.
You can make a lot more money than that at home
