They used to pay a low per-page rate & the subsequent partial pages

there is a thread further down this page or possibly the next page
I transcribed for Compuscribe years ago. Had no problems, just low pay but no problems.
Go to the bottom of the page and click on a page
number to get the most recent archives and then can do Ctrl F and do a search for WebMedX. I wouldn't call them a small national.

check company page
Mary/writer has written a post to the company board stating that she had filled the position. She thanked people for their posts. I think she was taken aback by one very mean email she received. I am surprised she didn't get far more. Of course $25 for three hours of work is ridiculously low, but I bet she could have been treated much more nicely. Some of the people who post on here are so unkind. I don't think they would be happy anywhere with any amount of money. How disheartening.

I'm linking to page w/company lists (sm)
here is the link to company info page
http://www.synthescribe.com/company.html
No info about the company, but there is an ad on the second page of Job Seeker's board. nm

I found it, bottom page 2 Company board

At the top of the company board page, do a google search for MTStars.
Start reading. This is an Indian based company. There were recent posts over the past few days about this company.
I used Apex with another company and it was awful. I'd do a full page of transcription and it'
out to be like 30 lines. There is no way. I quit after 2 days. I felt like the reports were easy but I was not working all day for $6 an hour.
Archives doesn't mean it is old info necessarily. If you'll go to the main company page, typ
JLG in the search box, make sure the MTStars circle is checked and click on search you'll find lots of current information. This is considered archived information but there are posts are recently as last week there.
I don't see that on their web page
nm
Take a look at the next page (sm)
Maybe the people aren't still there, but they're experiences weren't good. Companies don't change that radically. If there are problems like that, it's because of major philosophical problems in the company. If after reading those posts you'd still want to pursue testing with them, well, all I can say is good luck. I'm sure we'll be hearing from you later.
Pay by the page
Is this good or bad? Does anyone have any experience with this type of pay?
Pay by the page
Thank you. It's $2.50 per pay page on a sliding scale. I do not really understand it and that's why I do not really know what questions to ask. Thanks for the input.
per page
To me it there are too many variables to quote a per page rate, font size, margins, etc. You can have anywhere from 50 to 66 lines for full page depending on margins and font, so at .012 per line, that is quite a difference. Also what do you do for 20 or 30 lines, as they could both be half a page? That is just my opinion though. Could work in your favor and could not. If they use a small Arial 10 font, takes a lot more lines to fill up a page than Courier 12.
I Get $2.75 per page
I type for an insurance company doing claim tapes and I charge by the page. It works out well for me. I type in Tahoma 10. Even if a page is just one line long I get paid the full rate.
i see it a little further down on this page

Pay by the page
How on earth do you charge by the page? I have never been paid by the page but only by the line. Luckily, I found the job through the local paper and they will let me work from home (only 5 minutes away). There is a big psychiatric hospital down there street. Thanks for all of your help. I about gave up on transcription.
Pay by the page
I meant there is a big psychiatric hospital down the street from where I live and they usually charge by the page, but I have never charged by the page, but only by the line. Any suggestions?
by the page
The margins per page are 3 inch on the top and 3 inch left margin. Does that make a difference do you think?
Look down the page a little.....
Keystrokes is really popular right now. 
you are all over this page
with negative comments about a lot of companies. Probably not a very good idea to let this recruiter know who you are by e-mailing straight from this site. Just a helpful hint.
pay by page
Does anyone work for a transcription company that pays by the page instead of cents per line? If so, could you please email me. Thanks.
Yep and now it's a whole page +2.

On what page are they? If they are there, I will
x
Further down this page, 1/3 way?, you
will find a message from the recruiter, Carlotta Buckley, with that signature.
I, along with others, have elabored myself on MDI, which is probably on next page now.
It is a great company that will do everything they can to take care of the MT. They have a positive QA team, etc. Personally i think they are the best company around.
Same page
I only wish more people would get on the page with us. I fail to see how some people can stick their head so far in the sand.
No I'm not QA and I think we are on the same page. sm
My original post was in regards to Bayou MT's comment that we are not paid to look up doctor's names, unfamiliar names, terminology, etc.
P.S. I've run into the same QA types. The absolute worse was one from YOG. She actually called me on the phone and put me down.
at the top of the page --sm
there is a Google search bar. just beneath that are two buttons, . web and . MT stars. make sure the button by mt stars is checked and then type in the name of the company in question and click the search button beside it. that should bring up new and old postings about the company.
$1.00 a page?
You MUST be kidding! What an insult!
$1.00 per page
Yes, I thought it was very low, too. And she pointed out that you make the $1.00 page if you are very good. I thought that was hilarious. It was like she meant to convey that only the very top transcriptionists could ever hope to attain that job with such an exhorbitant amount of money as $1.00 per page! I had to hang up quickly before I laughed out loud! No hard feelings with them, though, and I wasn't all that insulted. I wish them well. They just don't have clue about how to hire quality transcriptionists and pay them well. Of course, that problem is a common one in this industry, but they just seem to have even less of a clue than most companies about paying us properly for quality work.

look down the page
look down the page, much ado about something....

There's no such thing on the web page

pay by page vs line
Hmmm...I work by line and I pull in over $4000 per month. I'd hardly call that no money.
Don't you have to go to NJ to train? And pay was only 1.75 per page. nm
s
Paid by the page, HUH! You will be
YOU HAVE TO BEG FOR YOUR PAYCHECK TO BE MAILED!!!!
By the page is great
Listen, I have done work both ways. By the page, you cannot get cheated. I have been cheated by line counters. I got $2.50, $2.75 and $3.00 a page. I would not go below $2.50, but you will make money this way. It's awesome! I congratulate you.
per page/per line
I know of MTs that charge $2 per page and make good money but I would question if you are cheating yourself especially with a report that is very long. This may benefit a MT who is typing a lot of short reports. I would prefer being paid per line when transcribing lengthy reports just for the fact that you are paid for every single character and space. But, I would prefer being paid per page when transcribing many short reports because of the time its take to enter in patient information in each report, which slows down productivity. So, base your decision on what you are transcribing and other factors.
If you go to the bottom of any page
there will be page # at the bottom. If on page 1 click on page 2 to see the newest of the posts that have scrolled off. You can then do a Ctl F to do a search. I don't know how sensitive the search is, by I've seen it Cymed and CyMed.
Just scroll down the page
There have been plenty of recent posts on this company. Also, look on page 2, 3, etc...
NO...another post on this page says that it happens
in the medical field. Just curious as to why an MT would be asked or if they would.
There's some infor on page 2.
x
There was a post probably on this page a day or so ago.
Why don't you scroll down.
There's a post about this down the page a few. nm
s
Look towards the bottom of the page...
there a few comments. Also try a search using MDI-MD, might turn up more comments that way. I've been interested in them, too, but last time I applied, they were only hiring for C-phone account and needed unlimited long distance. I wonder if they will be going to internet only in the future, as I think they have some accounts that are internet. Anyone know?
