to work there....all QA came from India, the most ridiculous QA I had EVER experienced.  It got to a point where I would NOT even pay any attention to QA that was sent to me. 

Editing can be the best and the worst job you will ever have.  I derived so much satisfaction from teaching and mentoring the transcriptionists.  I provided excellent feedback and did my best to help them become better MTs.  On the other hand, it can be aggravating to the core.  Some MTs appreciate the input, thank you for it, and put it into immediate practice.  Others, however, are the abusers of the system and don't care about the quality of their work and send through the same crap over and over again, knowing that the Editor will have to correct it or risk a negative QA review him/herself.  There were times I felt as though it would have been easier to delete the whole report and type it from scratch rather than go line by line, correcting multiple errors in every sentence.  Editing became a bad deal when the MTSOs figured out how much money they would save by paying the editors per line rather than per hour or salary.  The editor was expected to perform all the same duties, often including reformatting or retyping the entire report and correcting all the repeat account specific errors, WHICH, by the way, have been explained to the same offenders over and over again.  The editor earns a fraction of what the original MT does for the same report but often invests just as much time in the report.  Also there is no compensation for feedback sent in e-mails.  Like I said, there are days you will love it, but there are days, also, where you will sit in your chair, steaming and enraged at how you are being taken advantage of by your company and the MTs who abuse your knowledge and time. 

services that pay "down time" if the platform is inoperational.  ALL software has its share of problems.  It's the nature of the business.  When you were hired, did you sign a contract accepting the terms regarding PTO?  If so, what could you possibly complain about since you did, afterall, sign the agreement?  Did you have a good relationship with your QA Editor/Team Leader that you could ask questions about account specifics?

My understanding of the VR is that it has been in development for a number of years not to be released until the fine tuning was complete.  It would seem to me, and I am in no way affiliated with Transcend, that provided that VR is good then earning a line rate as an Editor would be beneficial, if that's how Transcend is planning to compensate.

All in all, I would say that if anyone is interested in working for Transcend or any service for that matter, make sure to ask the services Recruiter specific questions.  If what you're hearing sounds good and makes sense, go for it.  If what your'e hearing is not all that you thought it would be, move on.  However, you MUST take what you read on forums boards with a grain of salt.  While some posts regarding various services may be legitimate, others may not be.

Good Luck!

Please let me know if you know anything about this company.  How is the staff, etc.? Thanks!

I have been with FutureNet for about 3 months now...after leaving Medquist...had been with Your Office Genie before MQ took over...15  years total. What you have at FN is a good portion of the old staff that was at the Monrovia office of YOG/MQ. I find them great to work with and have enough work and so far no problems..but then I have known most of them for years...mtgal847

How is QA at Futurenet? Do they dock for blanks, follow strict BOS or client specifics, quibble over commas, etc?

TIA!

Does anyone out there know how Futurenet counts lines?  Do they pay for spaces?  Thanks.

Salutations, group.  I am seeking information from someone who has or does work for FutureNet.  Is this a good company?  What about specialities or acute care?  I am trying to gather enough information to make an informed choice whether to apply with them or not.  Having had some poor experiences in the past, but willing to give another company a try, I would like as much info as possible - both ways - before I spend valuable time applying, testing, interviewing, etc.  After reading this board and the other one, it seems that there are more bad companies than good.  Also, I am applying for a radiology position where the work is done on-site.  Can anyone tell me the going rate for in-house transcriptionists?  Line?  Hour?  I haven't worked in-house in a long time and am totally out of that loop.
