Just how do you think an MTSO will be able to calculate this into the work needing to be done?

Is the work steady?
Do you work for them?
If you want steady work...
Do not go to Amphion...Constant low work and they switch from account to account to account until there is no work on any account. Not Amphion!!
Does MDI-Fl have steady work? Are there benefits

at least they have steady flow of work -

I'd like to know too as we can seem to keep steady work, yet we are always trying to hire more.
If someone knows why they keep hiring more people, let us know. All I can think of is that the MTs they have keep quitting due to the lack of work, it's a vicious cycle. Somedays, they holler for help, you get in there and work hard, and then the next thing you know, we're out of work. I say STOP HIRING and let the MTs you have who want and need the work to do just that. I'm so sick of the feast or famine concept there. I'm job hunting. This stinks. They obviously advertise because they cant keep good help. That's my guess!!!
Good pay, steady work?
I was considering applying but don't want to jeopardize my current job.
i have steady work, on wav accts
with occasional lull's. i could work on secondaries, but usually do something around the house that begs my attention. All i can suggest is being able to be somewhat flexible with your hours, and/or talking to liaison about backup accts. as a last resort, a second company part-time i suppose. but in my opinion, MDI-MD is worth sticking with.
None for me either, no steady work for weeks..nm

Been at my job since March and work is steady
I work for a small U.S. company who does not offshore (and shall remain nameless, by me anyway). You have a primary account and a backup account. They do not over-hire so the work is mostly steady. I am told that it only runs low around the holidays. I'm pretty happy with that. At least you know the lull is coming and can prepare for it financially. My days at sitting at the computer waiting for work are over, for now anyway.
Steady work? Fairness in doling out the work?
Am so tired of crap work because I can do it, am getting burned out because of just that, crap work all the time. One of the reasons I am looking at other companies.
I work for a small national. I have steady work, usually
extra if I want it. I make 10 cpl as an employee, get vacation, 401K matching, PTO, wonderful QA, lots of ESL dictators but mostly decent ones, direct deposit, no IM, no nasty e-mails, no phone calls asking me to work extra day after day. Saying that MTs are surprised at how much money they make because they have steady work even though the line rate is low sounds like a line a used car salesman would use. A low line rate is a low line and an insult, especially since without the MTs you wouldn't be able to pay your bills.
Just because everyone else sees to be going to India is like the saying you parents would say if everyone else jumped off the bridge .... Many companies sell out, but you don't HAVE to sell out. You choose to get more bang from your buck but I've seen the work that comes back from overseas and I would never put my name to it.
You might can fool some of the people some of the time, but it won't fly with me.
The starting is $1.08 but the work is steady and plentiful. I think the top is $1.25 but I am not s
that is just the highest that I know of someone making.
oops.. I meant that we CANT seem to have steady work EVER. nm
Did youhave steady work with Medware? Do they

Many old YOGgers at FutureNet, but the work isn't steady. sm
When I was at MQ, they lost many YOG accounts, but I haven't been there in a couple of years, so I can't really speak to that.
Agree with you. If poster has steady work, that's

True but I got news for ya - you aren't going to get steady work anywhere that way.-
An MTSO has an account to cover. Period. She will give the work to whomever is willing to be flexible enough to cover the account. Even an IC has to work within some framework, not just whenever I feel like it, right?
As far as I know, IC only. Very steady work flow. Pay is good and on time.
 Great lady to work for.
EMTS Great company steady work
Getting new work and accounts are sending more and more work. Great people to work with.
enjoy it there. good accounts. steady work.

Pay on time and accurate, work flow steady.

I've been trying to find a company with steady work

I've had steady work the past 2 days on
my primary account, but I'm pretty sure it only has to do with people being off. I don't think there has been any kind of major change for the greater good or anything. So I'm not getting excited. I'll be back at the soup kitchen probably next week - so someone save my seat!
Downside is that there's rarely a steady/even load of work everyday unless there's always a ba

U.S. only, very steady work, some VR, good pay, good insurance, no PT, schedule. sm
That should cover it!
Anyone work for Van Bellkum? see inside
You may e-mail your reply if you would rather.
Are they are good company with flexible schedule?
Are there many ESLs? Is the dictation quality good?
Do you have assigned acounts or work out of a huge pool? Do you pretty much have the same dictators?
Work flow fairly consistent?
Platform easy to use?
What is starting pay and do they pay for spaces?
Thank you for taking the time to respond to my questions. 
Needing a job
After the initial phone interview, how long should it take to get the testing info? What happens after you test?
It's third shift work; we are extremely busy and they have a lot of (see inside)
accounts. I love Transcend. Best place I ever worked

But you can fudge that by using apostrophes instead, 4 total, 2 in front of word and 2 behind the word. Like this: ''apostrophes''

Any companies you know of needing...(sm)
any overflow help? Been hard to find as I am looking specifically for radiology and have a FT job from home already. Just looking to help someone with overflow and make a little extra money on the side. Anyone have any suggestions or any companies looking at this that would be interested? Email me if you would like.
Thanks! 
Or maybe it has to do with timing and needing MTs and
paying what it takes to get them. You have to remember to that I am an SE so I have to pay my own taxes and also in order to get 10 cents per line, I had to be full time. Part time I think started out at 7.5 cents per line.
Needing advice
I am a rather new MT. I only have about 1 year of experience and I have gotten back into the business recently. I have been getting job offers, but none of them really turn out to be very good. Can someone tell me some of the better well-known companies that hire someone with such little experience. Any advice would help greatly.
Needing info on
www.sharphearingtec.com
are they paying good?
Needing advice
I am fairly new into this home transcription thing and was wondering if I could get some good solid advice on how to stay motivated working from home (I have a 2-year-old and a 1-year-old at home and would like to work around their schedule i.e. nights, during naps so don't have to pay for daycare) Would IC be better for me in my situation rather than employee based? Also, any companies that anyone would recommend that works with the MT, or any that you would recommend?
I know this is asking a lot but some good solid advice would be very appreciated.
Thanks!
Thank you. Just the info I was needing.
Have to admit, the change was alluring. Oh, well.
as far as needing certain hours that would conflict with IRS
but that is between the company and the worker.
Needing to vent alittle
I inquired about a job with Medivoxx, before I realized they used VR and expected you to transcribe and edit. The information I received back stated that after two weeks uncompensated pay, the following 30 days would be 3 cpl, and then 5, and eventually 7. Before I went any further, I asked approximately how many lines/day VR editing runs, as I would think it would be higher than transcribing since you are not actually typing it all out, but editing. I wanted to know all this before I considered quiting the job I have now, which is not a transcription job, I am only doing that part time and am looking for full time. My response to this question was to not quit my current job. This seems alittle odd to me, so I wanted to vent and share this info with everyone else. Thanks
I'm not the one needing my hand held, now am I?

Advice needing in obtaining clients
I am lost. I have been an MT for 3 years now and would like to obtain a few clients on my own. My family has put me down for years and say I should be lucky to have a job and not to think big. My husband is no help. He also feels I cannot do it and now I am beginning to doubt myself. I simply am lost. How do I get started? what software do I need for the doctors to get the voice files to me? Am I insane for wanting more, or for wanting to have clients on my own? Work is slow at the national I am at and if I obtain clients on my own, I can maybe have a future for my daughters. Thanks
Other than needing the Olympus software, don't know a thing. nm

Needing reasons not to jump ship
It is hard to get a sense of things working at home... just want to know if there are any MTs at Transtech who do not plan to jump ship, or if I need to start worrying and go too? I am also wondering who the TT people went to after they jumped ship. I have sent numerous inquiries out and no answer.. could it be the market is flooded right now with resumes because of the recent VR situation?
Another reason I ask is that I believe TT is a strong company and I have been very happy there. Yes, I have had to be very flexible, but I have not yet run out of work and still make good money, benefits, etc. Why, however, are TT MTs any different than the more than 60 percent of MTs who have already gone to some type of VR at their company such as the people at Webmedx who are still happy, and others. It would be nice to get different viewpoints here... my instinct is to say keep with the TT, and work it all out because the company is strong... and most other companies if not are with VR will go there too someday! I am the only source of income for my family and need to know what is going on out there in the world! Thanks in advance for your opinions.
Any companies needing part time help on a Lanier account?
