Worst job I ever had. Poor communication,
Horrible platform. After 24 years in this business, I knew they were not a good fit for me.
Why is communication at Spheris so poor? sm
Are managers threatened with beheadings or something? The secrecy is unreal. What is going on there? Is it for sale or something? I know I won't get any answers. It is the most bizarre place I have ever worked.
Poor company communication I would say.
I think it is best to avoid gossips/fears is to keep all abreast of company doings on. What can it hurt, sure hurts when there is misinformation (from fear factors)
Very poor communication and rude when you do hear from them!

I work for Webmedx and the communication is poor. sm
The MT managers are okay about answering email. However, questions to upper management go unanswered--or even worse are answered with a defensive attitude that you shouldn't be asking questions. I'm suspicious of any individual or company that gets uncomfortable with questions.
TTS has poor communication and you can't trust anything that goes on there. I'd look elsewher

Overstaffed and poor team leaders and communication.

In their ad it says 7.4-8.5 cpl, 1200 lpd, and you use their computer. Don't know more. nm

I don't know about computer/VR but never heard of 1200
xx
Old posts say use their puter, 1200 lpd, low pay, and slow to start. Don't know about now. nm

Slow at OSi too. Grrrrr. I will be poor at the start of nm
computer does what it is told...
I used to do QA on the DQS system. The system can be programed to count characters every way you can think of. With a single click they can set it up where periods count 20 or 0, and the same for every other character or number on the keyboard. It can be set up to chart extra for bold type, caps, you name it. Just FYI, it is all in the programming and not particular to MQ or any other company.
Wel he worked with me, told me I needed to buy a new computer/
nm
I was told when I applied that if you need a computer KS will supply you with one, you then make pay
until it is paid off! Not a bad deal, and a good way to get a new computer.
Seasoned, we were told from the very start we could not
retype the entire report, better not zap it off and start over because it was a no-no and your pay would still be for the lesser amount per line even if you were allowed to retype. It is not VR that I am steaming, enraged at, nah, it is mostly the ESLs we have now. I love VR myself even with its quirks.
I start at Webmedx next week and was told...
that my account will be 30% ESL. When filling out the questionnaire, you are given the opportunity to tell them the amount (percentage wise) of ESL you can handle. I put down 30-40%. I'm impressed with the way the recruiter handled things and, hopefully, will feel the same way in a month or so. He seemed to really want to work with me and address any concerns that I had. Good starting line rate with a good incentive plan.
Well, when I purchased my computer tech support told me Vista would not work...sm
They said that it would work but it would cause a lot of problems because of the way the hot keys are setup on the Vista. They advised me against getting a computer with Vista. So it was very hard for me to find a computer that did not have Vista this year because everything had switched over. I bought a used one!!!! Just so I could avoid problems with my work.
I don't know if this helps or not. Just letting you know what I was told. Good luck!
I was told hourly start to accrue PTO immediately...
production employees after 1 year. BUT - that doesn't mean you can't take a vacation, just that you don't get paid. When I worked a factory job some years ago, you didn't get any vacation the first year - paid or unpaid!
typos are one thing (inadvertent), but poor grammar is a poor reflection and demonstrates lack..
of knowledge. In this profession, if you lack proper grammar knowledge, you should expect to receive comments from those MTs who take pride in producing top quality work. Just my opinion, but I think it is quite embarrassing to see inproper use of the english command from those who profess to be MTs. There's a difference between typing a message here and having a slip of the finger and just not knowing proper word forms and spelling. I see grammer quite often, dependible etc. I truly do no believe these are simple typos, sorry.
My company is 1200 lph. I think 1000 to 1200
lph is the usual range. Mine is straight typing.
I wanted to use my own computer and get rid of the RENT on TT computer, but Vista is not compatible.
Good way to make them money. Not have to upgrade software so that Vista is compatible with Vista. Huh?
One more computer question. I got my computer today and
trying to set it up. Man unpacking the box and setting everything up is a major undertaking; more so for me because I used a laptop before and my desk isn't tower friendly. Anyway, no info came with the tower and I don't yet have the password to get in (paperwork says to call M-F). Is the tower WiFi compatible? My DSL is hooked to a different computer and I wanted to know if I can setup new computer as WiFi or if I need to move modem to new computer and set other computer up as WiFi.
TransHealth has some that start the next month after you start work. nm

I don't hesitate to ask. Have been told "yes", and have been told "no." Never been to

only 1200?
How many lines can you type a day when you spend most of the day waiting for work to come in?
You get for over 1200 lines a day
and this is just MT, ME is different and too complicated. MT gets for over 1200- extra penny, 1301-1450 +0.015 per line, 1451-1550 +0.025 per line and so on. But on DEP what are the chances of this?? I hope good but hear not so good. plus to move up a pair tier from 1 to 2 and so on must pass test and have AVAILABLE POSITION IN HIGHER TIER, must meet work availability and must be manager approved. So just getting better at your job doesn't make you automatically move up.
I am over 60, so $1200 a month is a little on the
aa
1200 day x 5 - 6000 (I think) nm

ditto, 1200 nm

1200 lines per day (nm)

1200?? Is that in 8 hours? sm
If it is, you might consider a career change. I have done 1200 on some really bad programs (Spheris, Softscript) with no problem. Company I work for now, I get 1900+ every day, 8 hours.
only 1200 lines
ONLY 1200 lines you say? When you sign on in the morning and work 45 minutes, then run out of work for most of the day...........are you able to type 1200 lines? That would translate into 1200 lines per hour, can you do that?
1200 lines or more
 Now, tell me this, how does a company expect you to have 1200 lines a day when all dictators are foreign, have to download the report to type, which takes a while to download, not because my computer is slow, but it does show slower in the other side, and when the transcriptionists do not type the hard reports get to be the first ones to come up? I am not a perfect transcriptionist, nor a slow typist, but it takes me one hour and about 40 minutes to type 150 lines....frustrated!!!!
1200 lpd, 7.4-8.5 cpl, using ExText software. nm

A local cc (NC) costs about $1200. The
local state supported 4-year university now offers an on-line MT program too and I think it is about $1800.00. The cc arranges internships and helps with job placement, don't know about the 4-year school as it is a relatively new program and I am not familiar with it.
12,000 lines/pay period not 1200
I'm sure it was a typo, and I'm not picking on anyone, but I just want to clarify that it is 12,000 lines per pay period that is required of an SE which is roughly 1200 lines a day. Hope this helps!
1200 lines/pay period?? nm
x
1200 lines a pay period
The requirement for direct deposit is 14,000 lines a pay period CONSISTENTLY, so in breaking it down over a 13-14 day period, a bit over 1,000 lines a day -- hope you can brush up on you math too
My last job paid no incentive until 1200
(just the hourly) and only 5 cpl for lines over 1200.
More than 1200 lines a week?
so what's the point in being so rude to wandering MT?
not true - I do 1200 lpd and got a raise
x
Thanks..1200/day no prob. Can you tell me more about schedule with Ax? Thanks again SM
Is it hard to get time off? I may need a few days off in the first year. I have a supervisor now who is a pain, so I'm not too worried about that aspect.
I hit 1200 lines a day easy, sm
I hit 1200+ daily at Axolotl. I was reaching my line counts within the first week. As stated in another message, it could be the difference in accounts/dictators. I work on several accounts though.
1200 lines per day for VR is extremely low.
With VR, a person should be doing at least 2000+ per day. You're kidding yourself if you think you will find a VR job that only requires 1200 or less!
I'm FT and it's 1200 lines...Not sure what PT requirement is (nm)
:-)
Average of 1200 lines per day.

I do 1200 lines a day in 2 hospital accounts and I can
usually get my work done in 4 to 5 hours. BUT, if the kids are around or whatever, then of course, it takes quite a bit longer. Also, I have a lot of Instant Text saved etc. and normals that my doctors repeat in their reports.
Might have to use THEIR puter, 1200 lpd. Posts from last year say pay is very low. nm
s
pretty sure they require 1200 lines/pay pd for SE (nm)
x
I thought the line requirement was 1200 for SE - sm
Do you have any idea why this person above is saying 1400 lines/pay period and telling me to brush up on my math skills? I'm confused! I only want to do 1000 lines per day right now, at least until my youngest is off to Kindergarten! I guess it depends on how easy it is to make 1200 lines/pay period. I could give it a shot to try for their incentive bonus and if I find I am doing it consistently, maybe change my status. Thanks for your help!
0.085, but I am averaging 1200 lines in less than 5 hours - sm
and I have only been on the account for 4 months. Personally, I do not think $20/hour is all that bad, do you??? Consider this, most hospitals are hiring at $12-13/hour in the south where I'm located.
