No we won't. I said slow, meaning slower than usual, should have clarified.

That doesnt sound too slow to me.. I would probably be slower, I am tired and old too.
 Wish it were just my fingers though.
That is why I clarified that it has bee
a few years since I worked for them.
Thank you, but I had already clarified it.
Please see message in which I clarified what I was looking for..
Decent to me is less than $500 a month for family coverage and preferably with a copay that is reasonable and deductible between $500-$1000. I know of some companies that are charging families $1100-$1300 a month.. What's the point when you just work for insurance only. As far as PTO, I really do not care if it is anything spectacular.. maybe 10 days a year.. Hopefully that helps get me some good suggestions. Thanks again Busy MT
Glad you clarified that because - sm
I was going to say that if you produce around 2K lines a day on VR and if you make 3 cpl, then you are making a whopping 60 bucks! 7-11 pays better than that. So you must make more than that. Let's say 5 cpl. That would 100 bucks a day. So if you work 40 hours, you are making 2K a month. Perhaps you can live on that but I can't.
we have this clarified now, now we have to convince
clients and MTSOs to pay the same for VR and straight MTing.
The thing is that the VR software salesmen who sell the VR software, which is very expensive, have to give their prospective buyers an incentive so that they buy this expensive stuff: Their catch is the promise that MTs can do twice, even thrice in the same time and are going to be paid half, as they assumed it will beso easy to do.
This was all a misspeculation, it is as hard as straight MTing and takes almost the same time.
Solution: Pay for VR the same as for straight MTing.
I didn't say that it was. I specifically clarified that in parentheses. nm

Oops!!! B-wear??? what does that mean. I read some posts but I could not see that anyone clarified
what the benefits were changing to...Anyone??
if your a slower typist, go for the $15, but.....
If you have speed and can utilize your normals, definitely take production. There are hours where I make $40 an hour at 9 cents per line. I would never go hourly.
Yes, that is another reason why I am going slower. Although
I have just made the 11K, and trending upward, I still make the QA bonus every time. I have been in the business a long time, and perhaps that is why I stopped a consistent over 20K a payperiod. Over the years the patient care meant more to me than the extra 100 bucks a payperiod. I know some may think that is ridiculous, but it kicked in when I hit 40 years old. Maybe my conscience, or just wanting to do a quality job and a good line count. Again, Expanders will help with typos but research needs to be done before leaving blanks too and that takes time sometimes. I don't mind researching 4 sources but then I will put a blank if I am not sure because of an accent. So that is correct 2K is no good if it is not a quality 2K. Better make less lines and 99% QA and trend slowly upward, which can be done with your own canned text and their normals. Good luck!
You will. Some people's mail is slower.

Maybe you ought to read my post a little slower
I had several e mails with Keystrokes and was PROMISED a phone call. One thing I neglected to mention in my OP is that they stated late last night that they HAD called me, with no answer. My phone NEVER rang Monday OR Tuesday. I have caller ID, nothing there either. I checked my telephone calls online, nothing there either. They did not call and they do not get a second chance with me.
Bayscribe slower than DocQscribe
Bayscribe is slower than DocQscribe. One thing is you have to chose which report type you want to transcribe next after each report and then wait for the screen to reload whereas in DQS it is already filled in and no waiting. Their doctor roster is not as user friendly as DQS. You do get credit for filling in demographics which amounts to about 1 line per report.
I find it idiotic to even say a slower
person could do better on VR. You CANNOT be slow and go through VR as fast as you need to make a decent salary, just cannot be done. Typing straight I could do over 2000 a day, now with VR I do over 3000 a day but it has nothing to do with being slow norr a newbie, heard that before too. Both things are really laughable.
I am a slower but accurate producer, around 1000 sm
lines in 8 hours. Are there any companies out there that would value me as an employee? Seems like everyone wants 1200 lines or better or you are out the door.  
I think it's a lot slower. I'm having a hard time getting lines, but I'm

It has been a little slower this week but depends on the account your on.
The escription accounts seem to be really slow. You may need to ask for a backup account if you don't have one so I'd get ahold of your account manager.
Depends on the account. Work on VR lately has been slow. Just like all companies, we have slow times
Honestly though, I have only had 2-3 times in the past 2 years where it was like the other day...no work... It did pick up later but I just think it's important not to make someone think we're overloaded with work all the time. That would not be fair to them if they end up with high expectations.
Just a little slower than DQS in bringing jobs up, filling out screen. (sm)
Not a lot really, and the plus side of being able to research other documents by a particular physician or patient pretty much makes up for it.
Just thought I had heard something and was hoping there was an even better system coming about.
No - it is not always slow! Depends on the company and hospital. I have never been slow this time
Slow time is usually in September when everyone is back to work/school from the summer months.
Been doing this 24 years and never slow this time of year. Actually, I am drowning in work - can't keep up.
The only thing I noticed was counts slower to post - but accurate,I think
nm
meaning
It is Latin and means "without delay", or "immediately."
meaning??
??? not clear on that.
Different take on the meaning of this
If your testing did not qualify you did it ever occur to you that you did too well? Perhaps you did ace the test as you believe (I do not doubt your feelings at all), but that would mean they would have to give you top dollar, and they don't want to hire someone like that right now, or ever. Don't know this company, but I have been through this. But I go one step further. I always am flexible with my cpl rate in the cover letter, and so when I ace a test like you did they do get back to me. But, I have been offered 6.5 to 7 c/line, no kidding. Then, I say no. What do they think flexible means? Stupid! Yes. They think I am stupid so offer me a job. They know you are not stupid because you aced the test, so they say you are not qualified for their low pay scale. That is just IMHO. Sorry to take the opposite position from the other poster who says you are not as good as you think. Since this person does not know you or your skills, I think that comment may be way off base. So, don't let these things ruin your day. Count it as a blessing and find a decent place who will appreciate you. IMHO. Good luck!
Meaning and substance???
If you are an editor, you will soon be out of work. What exactly do you mean when you say 'meaning' and 'substance'?
Meaning, you are not getting 1000....
which I thought was the requirement. I have a friend who tried them out and went days without work.
Meaning you don't get paid for it
:(
Ah, but you miss my meaning.
If she does not know that a lot is two separate words, I can only imagine the other kinds of errors that she makes. That is so very basic. I am not jealous of someone who does not know that a lot is two separate words. I am not QA and I don't work for TT and I am not policing anything. I am just really, really tired of the seeing ALOT and other inexcusable errors from people as they are bragging about their awesome quality-oriented companies that hired them. I'm sure I'm not the only one who is tired of it.
Not meaning to argue...
but they DID lie. They initially told me that typing was not required. Just as they will review what I type, they could allow me to QA and review what I have QA'd. Very simple.
Whatever their reasons are for requiring this - they should be honest and tell the folks to whom they make an offer that typing is required.
meaning of initials
rolling on floor laughing my butt off ROFLMBO
Thank You all and I wasn't meaning ESL accent...
I was meaning ESL who can't speak English, but make up their own form of Americanese language (broken up/half-English)i.e. physical thrappy for physical therapy and palawong is echocardiogram, therefore the whole report is a big fat blank because I still couldn't figure out how palawong sounded echocardiogram. Thank MT@diskriter, I will give Diskriter a try and I hope to get 2 accounts and stay on those 2 accounts besides rotating accounts 4 or 5 times a week. The downtime sounds like some good insurance. Last job work 2 hours and had no work so I would sit and baby-sit the computer catching job here and there for about 19 hours for 600 lines due to no work and no pay. Thanks again all.
" FOR NOW "... 2 small words with a very big meaning. nm

If the error changes meaning of the report
Because that's dangerous. It should be something that almost never happens though.
Meaning I sure hope the above poster
isn't a manager at Ax. That is what I meant. Obviously they must work there because they are aware of e mails.
Well, I really wasn't meaning to imply that something ... SM
was wrong with the line counts. Just for some reason, I have a very difficult time making my lines. Yes, what I am typing for the day definitely has something to do with it. I feel that the fact that I get reports from 2 different accounts mixed in with each other also is not conducive to speed. But I really brought this up, just kind of thinking out loud, that I wonder if the fact that it is a good company outweighs the fact that I am not making any money! That's what I'm trying to resolve in my own mind.
pay as usual!
Companies pay when hospitals pay welcome of the world of Mt!
just the usual with KS
It is nice to get an answer. It is nice that KS does not offshore. But what is not so nice is finding out that the person giving you the information may be misrepresenting themselves and may not actually be a recruiter for that company. So if this is the case, how can you know that they are not telling you lies about the company????
You mean, just BS as usual.
nm
The usual gig.....
Poor work flow management. Zero communication. Don't want to hear your input on anything. Whether or not you have a good or bad experience there is pretty hit and miss I'd say depending on all the variables. Certainly not a well-thought-out equation by them.
As usual, another one who knows
nothing about the poster. How was I insulting and what makes you so sure I'm not an MT? This Army Brat obviously has some issues with her company and is very paranoid that her work is being directed away from her. Maybe she should talk to her supe and not assume things she doesn't know.
Production incentive meaning overtime
Then it would be legal.
meaning that some accounts have assigned doctors...
nm
She is meaning you will see lazy MTs while doing QA that no longer care
nm
and do you mean "THEY" meaning DeVenture or in general?
If in general, that's nothing new. If you mean DeVenture, then I'm glad I got turned down.
SC meaning SE (statutory employee) and or IC contractor.
Still looking for help on employee positions with no VR which are good. Thanks.
Just the usual cowards who have nothing SM
better to do than rip other people apart so they don't have to acknowledge that they have their own deficiencies. Instead of actually speaking to someone with their company and having them know what kind of people they have working for them, they come here anonny and post the same tired stuff all the time and talk about how great they are in comparison to other people they work with, how the company should value them, blah blah blah.
The loudest ones are usually the most lacking in skills.
Ok, so this is hopefully just worse than usual? sm
Do I have to let them know to hop on at other times, or is it understood that it's necessary?
thanks much for your help!!!
Yes, one to her, one to office as usual.
x
Thanks so much...As usual trying to do it the hard way
xx
Yes, still here - Business as usual SM
No major changes since Acusis buyout. Same pay, same clients, same platform, matching 401K now in effect. No reason to *jump ship* that I can think of unless swimming is something you like to do for aerobic exercise.
So, Yes, they were once OmniMed, meaning the same people. Thought so! BAD company! x
